"Well, then I have to add one more item to the list of questions for Wu Zhaokun. Maybe I can find out who provided him with the walking corpse." Zhao Xuan said thoughtfully, "Shopkeeper Zhou, you have been of great help again.
”
"That's serious. But Wu Zhaokun may not relent..." Zhou Shi looked at Zhao Xuan and felt that he was worrying too much, "But Wu Zhaokun will be escorted to the capital for interrogation. Can it pass your hands?"
Zhao Xuan's face looked a little ugly.
"Wu Zhaokun is still in Jiangdu. The court's intention is to investigate the entire imperial examination fraud case, especially after the Minister of Household Affairs bows his head and pleads guilty before dealing with him. The handling of this case has been handed over to the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and I am only responsible for cooperating with the supervision.
Censor."
"This...the censor's response to the case of hiding the corpse in Yichun Garden..." Zhou Shi suddenly thought of his identity in this world, "It may be inappropriate for me to ask this. How much does the censor know about the case of hiding the corpse in Yichun Garden?"
?Does he know that important clues to the corpse hiding case in Yichunyuan may be in the hands of Wu Zhaokun?"
Zhao Xuan scratched his hair irritably and said: "The Metropolitan Procuratorate is responsible for supervising all officials, and they only obey orders from the emperor. He doesn't care how many people died in the Yichunyuan case. Thanks to him, I can't even interrogate Wu Zhaokun.
!"
It seems that the status of a gold medal detective can only deter local officials, but it is not enough in the eyes of the Metropolitan Procuratorate.
"Just asking the prisoner a few words will never..."
"No! The censor said something about 'protecting the prisoner' and 'the official who committed the crime is also an official, and it must be decided by the court.' No matter what, he refused to let me see Wu Zhaokun." Zhao Xuan's hands were clenched until the knuckles turned white.
Zhou Shi had doubts in his heart. Even if the imperial examination fraud case has not been investigated, the evidence that Wu Zhaokun accepted bribes is always conclusive. Why not take him to the capital first? It is not safe to stay in Jiangdu where his power is stable...
…
It’s not safe, that’s right. Wu Zhaokun’s case has huge implications. Could it be that someone wants to rescue him? No, for those big figures in the Jianghuai Chamber of Commerce and the Ministry of Etiquette, it may be the best choice for Wu Zhaokun to shut up forever...
Zhou Shi originally wanted to remind Zhao Xuan to keep an eye on the prison where Wu Zhaokun was imprisoned, but in the end he did not say anything.
Firstly, with Zhao Xuan’s mind, she would not miss this level; secondly...
"Mr. Zhao, calm down. There will be a time when the dust of this case has settled, and it will not be too late to interrogate it by then. Moreover, the Yichunyuan case is not without other clues. I will pay more attention to the movements in the underworld. The murderer has hoarded them.
There will not be so many corpses just to let two zombies sneak into Jiangdu, he will definitely take further actions."
Zhao Xuan glanced at Zhou Shi and stood up.
"Deduct it from the money I saved. If there are any clues in the vagina, you can still contact me the old way."
Zhou Shi wanted to ask where He Shouxin was, but he felt that he had asked too many questions today, so he didn't say much and just sent Zhao Xuan to the door.
"Really, it was so hard to catch Wu Zhaokun and get clues about the Yichunyuan case, but a censor intervened in the middle... Could he be working with the murderer?"
Zhou Shi thought along this line of thought and finally rejected the idea.
"It's unlikely. Not to mention that he is an official of the Metropolitan Procuratorate. Although his rank is not high, he has great power. Why should he get involved with a bunch of monsters from the outer sect? Besides, Wu Zhaokun is left in the Jiangdu court.
He was just following orders. If he was really on the same team as the murderer, he would definitely try his best to send Wu Zhaokun north to Beijing as soon as possible. It would be much more convenient to hire a group of bandits to kill and silence him on the road than in prison." p>
He and Zhao Xuan chatted for too long. There are only a few tables left for dinner, and it will be closed soon.
Near midnight, he leaned on the counter and tapped the iron abacus.
"What the hell, this day is over, where is the way to break the curse of the iron abacus? Sure enough, people still have to believe in science and not be superstitious... huh?"
An idea flashed in his mind. What if the method to break the curse had appeared but he didn't notice it?
"Think carefully about what happened today..."
Among the things that happened on this day, the only unusual thing was Zhao Xuan’s uninvited appearance!
What did she say?
New clues in the Yichunyuan case, Wu Zhaokun is still detained in Jiangdu Prison.
The clues in the Yichunyuan case only found a rickshaw puller who transported the corpse. It is unlikely that he knew about the curse of the iron abacus. The employer was somewhat possible, but he did not leave any traces that could be used for tracking. p>
But Wu Zhaokun is different! He cooperates with the corpse-refining demon and can even control the walking corpse. Although he was defeated by Zhou Shi... Yes, the long-braided corpse disappeared as soon as he turned his head. The method was very similar to that of the poison master before
Used Earth Escape!
The method to steal a door is to escape from the ground!
A member of the Gu sect can use the means of stealing doors. Based on this, the gold medal detective Ma Jiaxiang believes that there is a gang composed of people from different sects and trades behind the poison master! Maybe there are also people from the Yin sect in this gang.
What? Maybe he will hold the iron abacus curse in his hands...
Zhou Shi rubbed his temples and forced himself to get out of his thoughts.
Thinking too far ahead, the question is what to do now.
The result of asking for good luck is only Xiao Ji, which probably means that it will take some twists and turns to get the method to break the iron abacus curse, and sneaking into the prison to interrogate Wu Zhaokun is consistent with "Xiao Ji"'s comments...
Even if Wu Zhaokun doesn't know the truth, he can find out the forces behind him through him... In short, he must meet with him before he is escorted away.
Thinking of this, Zhou Shi slowly tore off a page from the account book, tore it into pieces, and scattered it on the ground.
"Sneak into Jiangdu Prison."
The result is "Xiaoji". It seems that with his method, sneaking into the prison will not be too dangerous.
He picked up the scraps of paper and made another divination.
"Sneak into Jiangdu Prison and meet Wu Zhaokun."
The result is bad, and very bad!
"The real danger is meeting Wu Zhaokun, but simply sneaking in will be fine... Is there someone watching around Wu Zhaokun? Is it Zhao Xuan's people, or is the force behind him protecting him?
"It doesn't matter. Wu Zhaokun won't be able to leave for a while. I'll think about it after I improve my strength and find helpers."
Speaking of improving his strength, he swept up pieces of paper and used the dusty pieces of paper to make another prediction:
"Visit Wang Yinchang...it's auspicious this time, so let's go tomorrow."
……
Midnight, Jiangdu Wharf.
"Chief Jiang! You've missed your welcome. Why are you here so late?"
"Let Du Wu speak out."
"What a coincidence, our fifth master...ah!"
"Gang Leader Jiang, what are you doing—uh!"
The moon was high in the sky, witnessing the commotion at the pier.
