One hundred and sixty-fifth chapter fate sometimes must have
Chapter 165: Sometimes things must happen in life (Added Chapter 2)
Jimo Qiao's pale face had not fully recovered even after returning to the government office from Yizhuang.
Gu Ling asked Jimo Qiao what was wrong, but Jimo Qiao just shook her head and didn't answer. Gu Ling asked too many questions, and she seemed a little irritable.
So Gu Ling went to ask Chai Yan what was going on, but Chai Yan said seriously that Jimo Qiao was thinking about the murderer's sword skills in order to find clues.
When Gu Ling and Doudou were not paying attention, Jimo Qiao secretly gave Chai Yan a wink, meaning that you are a sensible boy and did not talk nonsense!
On the way back, Jimo Qiao had warned Chai Yan that if he dared to tell others what happened in Yizhuang, especially Gu Ling, then she would never be done with Chai Yan!
Chai Yan also winked at Jimo Qiaohui when no one was paying attention, meaning that you have something in my hands, so you should behave better when we meet in the future.
Jimo Qiao was so angry that he wouldn't have done anything if he had known it earlier, but it was too late to say anything. Now he had to knock out his teeth and swallow it in his stomach.
In front of Hu Duanzheng, Gu Ling said: "Chai Yan, where do you think the murderer is now?"
Gu Ling felt that idleness was nothing but idleness. If he knew the location of the murderer earlier, he would be better prepared for everything.
Once reminded, Jimo Qiao echoed: "Yes, yes, do the math quickly!"
Chai Yan looked embarrassed and said: "Well...it's too late today, and I'm too tired. Let's do it tomorrow. I'll find a time tomorrow to figure it out..."
"Why?" Gu Ling and Jimo Qiao asked in unison.
Hu Duanzheng said nothing, but his face was full of questions.
In fact, after obtaining the blood samples of five members of Ouyang's family, Shangguan Peining sensed them one by one along the way, but unfortunately, Shangguan Peining did not sense any of the same bloody smell.
In other words, the murderer is no longer in Huzhou Prefecture!
Chai Yan was quite disappointed, but he couldn't say the result right away. It seemed too hasty to say it so directly, and no one would believe it.
"Two eldest ladies, do you know that calculating the evil position is very laborious and laborious. How can I possibly calculate it in my state today?" Chai Yan had no choice but to find an excuse. No matter what, he delayed it all night. Say it again.
Gu Ling and Jimo Qiao felt disappointed, so they called Doudou back to the post office.
After Chai Yan returned to the inn, he first went to see Yuan.
Yuan let Chai Yan into the room and asked, "Why did you stay here for so long?"
Chai Yan placed the cloth bag containing eight silver ingots on the table with a clang, and said: "Not only did I receive the money, I also went to Yizhuang..."
Yuan Yuan was curious: "Why are you going to Yizhuang?"
Chai Yan then told Yuan everything about Gu Ling and Jimo Qiao's recommendation to investigate the Ouyang family's murder case.
Yuan said, "That's not a coincidence. It saves us from going to Ouyang's house to be thieves at night."
Chai Yan said in frustration: "The problem is that I have already calculated that the murderer is no longer in Huzhou City. Where can we catch him? Alas, it is a total of five hundred and forty taels of silver. It seems that he is in trouble."
Yuan Yuan said: "Then you can tell Yu Zhongheng and the people in the government clearly tomorrow, so that we can leave for the capital early!"
"That's all it can do... There are times in life that must come, but there are no times in life. Don't force it!"
Chai Yan sighed, turned around, opened the door and returned to his room.
The next morning, the government officials came to look for Chai Yan again. Chai Yan knew without asking that it must be the two idle young ladies who came to him to calculate the location of the murderer.
Helpless, Chai Yan had to follow the government officials to the government office again, and met Gu Ling and Jimo Qiao.
However, this time Hu Duanzheng had official business to deal with and did not show up. He was replaced by Wu Shixian, the Huzhou government official.
"After a night's rest, can we start?" Gu Ling asked.
If the murderer is gone, he is gone, and there is no point in delaying it.
Chai Yan nodded and said, "Okay."
After he finished speaking, Chai Yan retreated to the small garden outside the flower hall. He raised his left hand high, began to squint his eyes, and kept counting with his fingers.
Wu Shixian didn't know what Chai Yan was doing, so he asked in a low voice: "Miss Gu, what is he..."
"Don't say anything yet, you will know later!" Gu Ling said.
Wu Shixian did not dare to talk any more and could only watch Chai Yan's "performance" quietly.
After a long time, Chai Yan put down his hand, sighed heavily, and shook his head in disappointment.
Jimo Qiao was startled, and immediately ran over and asked, "What do you mean, haven't you calculated it yet?"
Chai Yan shook his head and said: "I can't say that I haven't figured it out...it's just that the murderer...is no longer in Huzhou City."
"Ah? You mean, the murderer has escaped?" Jimo Qiao shouted.
Gu Ling also walked out, frowned and asked: "Chai Yan, do you think the forty taels of silver reward is too small, and are you deliberately perverting us?"
Chai Yan complained: "How could it be possible? The murderer is indeed no longer in Huzhou. If you think about it, it has been more than ten days since the crime was committed. The murderer would have escaped long ago!"
Jimo Qiao and Gu Ling stopped talking. Chai Yan's words were indeed correct. It has been so long since the crime occurred. How could the murderer still be waiting to be caught in Huzhou City?
Jimo Qiao said unwillingly: "If I had known this case, we should have handed it over to us for investigation. The murderer would definitely not be able to escape!"
As a promoter, Wu Shixian stood aside and felt a pang on his face as he listened. He had been responsible for investigating the murder of the Ouyang family, but so many days had passed, and not even a single clue about the murderer had been found.
That being said, the Wude Division is, after all, a department directly under the emperor. How could it be possible to casually take over a local murder case? Even if it is a murder case of a bad nature, the possibility of exterminating a family is extremely low.
!
"Sorry to disappoint you." Chai Yan apologized and prepared to leave.
But Jimo Qiao didn't let Chai Yan go. He stopped him and said, "You can leave if you want. Let's finish "The Swordsman" first!"
Wu Shixian was confused, Smiling and Proud of the Jianghu? What Smiling and Proud of the Jianghu?
Chai Yan said with a bitter face: "Miss, can you let me have breakfast first? Since ancient times, emperors have always had hungry soldiers..."
Jimo Qiao was not polite. He immediately looked at Wu Shixian and said: "Um...that person, help me get something to eat!"
"Oh!" How dare Wu Shixian not listen, he quickly turned around and trotted out of sight.
Not long after, Wu Shixian personally delivered a lot of food.
Chai Yan knew that he really couldn't escape this time, so he raised his hands and said to Wu Shixian: "Master Wu, there is one more thing I want to trouble you with..."
"Master Chai, please speak." Wu Shixian said politely.
Chai Yan said: "Please give me a message to my man, saying that I have something to do here and I have to go back later."
Wu Shixian promised: "Don't worry, Mr. Chai, I will send someone right away."
