After three brews, the tea has no taste, and it can no longer be called tea. These are all things I learned when I used to drink tea with the second uncle in the past, but I didn't expect to go through it again in the secret room of the Criminal Division today.

These people, if there is evidence, will have escorted you to the Criminal Law Department for a verdict, where is there any need to spend it in this dark chamber. So as long as you don't show your flaws, he can't do anything about you.

There was the clatter of chains outside the door, followed by the sound of the cables being bounced open. The teacup in Ling Chen's hand was held in mid-air, paused slightly, and then drank the tea.

"Come out. A steward outside the door greeted him and led Ling Chen out.

When he came to the door, the steward took out a manuscript from the counter and put it in front of Ling Chen: "Sign it and go." ”

Ling Chen glanced at the contents of the manuscript, probably meaning that the suspicion had not been cleared and was left for observation. I am willing to cooperate with the Criminal Division, and I have recently accepted the summons, and I will not move around at will, otherwise I will be regarded as absconding in fear of crime.

In Ling Chen's cognition, there is no such procedure for the door to get out of the punishment division. So he shook his head, and ignored the steward.

"What are you doing with the pestle? Sign it and leave quickly. Seeing that Ling Chen was indifferent, the steward scolded loudly.

"I don't remember that there was such a rule in the Criminal Division. Ling Chen laughed back. Even the previous officials he was not afraid, and such errands were just bullying others, so he didn't have to pay attention to them.

"Hey, you stinky boy, you're pretty hard-mouthed. Then you just wait here. The steward smiled playfully, gloating.

"Then I'll wait another dozen hours or someone will bail me out. When the time comes, all the consequences... Well, criminal prisoner Hu Sanniu, you will bear it. Ling Chen glanced at the person's waist card and read it out.

There can be no fear of these villains from beginning to end. Otherwise, they will only be more arrogant by relying on their home field and backstage support.

When the steward heard this, his heart suddenly beat a drum. Although he did what he did, he didn't give this instruction from above. It's just that he wants to embarrass the so-called academy students on his own initiative, and seeing them arrogant one by one, his heart seems to be uncomfortable. After some hesitation, the steward himself didn't want to get into some trouble, so he had to give up.

"Go, go... . In the end, this man has to take advantage of his tongue.

Ling Chen didn't pay attention to this person anymore, and strode towards the door. This kind of person is short-sighted and destined to be difficult to achieve. To fight with this kind of person can only be narrow-minded.

walked out of the Criminal Division without incident, Ling Chen's heart did not have the slightest joy, but became heavier and heavier. In the previous conversation with that adult, Ling Chen knew a little bit of information. Liang Hanshuo must have been put on the wanted list by the Peace Alliance, although he didn't know the cause and effect, but Ling Chen didn't believe that someone as upright as his eldest brother would do anything to know the law and break the law.

Wanyuan Town, the town that has been born since he can remember, has too many memories of him. And now, after only a year, I haven't heard from it again. It's just that the old people are separated, and they are in peace in a foreign land.

"Ling Chen!"

As soon as he walked out of the gate, Ling Chen heard someone calling him on the bustling street in front of him.

Shen Ayaka not only brought their mentor Hao Haoyuan, but even Shen Yixiu's tutor also called. There was even a mentor on the side, but this was a fresh face, and Ling Chen didn't know it.

This was a bit of a surprise to Ling Chen, but it was just an interrogation from the Criminal Division, which actually alarmed the three mentors to come forward to protect him?

However, Ling Chen was still very polite, and saluted the three mentors separately: "Let the three mentors bother." ”

"Are you alright?" asked Shen Ayaka with concern.

"Why did you come out on your own?" Hao Haoyuan looked a little surprised.

Ling Chen shook his head, indicating that he was fine.

"It's just a misunderstanding. He didn't want to tell his mentor about these personal matters, so he simply didn't talk about them.

Sure enough, several of the mentors are also understanding people. Seeing that Ling Chen said this, he didn't ask anything anymore. They are all people with clear hearts, and everyone knows very well what the face of the criminal division is. If it is really a misunderstanding, then it is really a ghost.

With three mentors escorting, the face is naturally full. Back at the academy, Ling Chen thanked the three mentors again. then thanked Shen Ayaka and separated.

There is no need to go to Tibet to study today, so Ling Chen's time is free. He wanted to go back to the dormitory to find Wang Qingyun or Ping Leyi and ask about some things about his eldest brother. Or what happened in Wanyuan Town last year, all this information can be. He needed to know what had happened around him during the past year of isolation.

It was already past the afternoon, and Ling Chen hadn't eaten lunch yet. But at this time, he was not in the mood to eat anymore, and Ling Chen's mind was restless and could not be calm.

Walking alone through the forest paths, the surroundings are very quiet. This is a shortcut to the dormitory building, and it is also something that I have been wandering around for a month.

An old man's figure inexplicably appeared in front of him, and he appeared in front of Ling Chen's eyes without warning, making people have no time to react.

At the first time, Ling Chen knew that this person was by no means simple. It seems to be just an ordinary old man, but when he senses it carefully, it is like a sea of stars. In front of him, Ling Chen seemed small and humble, making it difficult for people to look up to him.

"It's good to do it yourself. The old man's voice was hoarse and low. His face was withered, and half of his cheeks seemed to be shrouded in darkness, and his true face was not visible. The dress is also simple and casual, and the hairpin on the head seems to be replaced by a branch.

Leaving these four words, the old man popped out a piece of letter paper from his fingertips and flew towards Ling Chen.

Just casually ejecting a piece of letterhead, Ling Chen sensed the strength contained in it, which people did not dare to underestimate. The spiritual power operates, forming a thick film of light to protect the body. Ling Chen planned to use all his strength to catch this attack, because the speed was too fast, he couldn't dodge it at all.

"Huh!"

The letter paper was like a steel knife slashing through tofu, easily and casually breaking through Ling Chen's spiritual power shield, and taking away a handful of hair from his sideburns.

Then, as if it had lost all its strength, the letter paper slowly fell from Ling Chen's back and fell to the ground quietly.

Just like what the old man said, this scene is also a warning to Ling Chen, to do it yourself.

Looking ahead, the old man disappeared at some point. Ling Chen exhaled and turned to pick up the letter on the ground. looked closely, and sure enough, it was the letter he wrote to his eldest brother Liang Hanshuo.

Although Ling Chen walked out of the Criminal Division safely this time, the letter paper is a hidden danger after all. This person not only fished him out of Xing Lisi, but also brought him back along with the evidence such as letters. Who is this old man, and why did he help him?

In this world, is there anyone else silently watching him?

Looking at the letter in his hand, Ling Chen pondered for a moment. The spiritual power operated, and suddenly the surface of the letter paper was covered with a layer of white frost, and then shattered like glass. Before it falls to the ground, it is all reduced to powder.

Since it is a handle, there is no need for it to exist.

When I returned to the dormitory, I found that Wang Qingyun was not there, but that Ping Leyi and Lu Hongkai were in the dormitory without incident. One reads a book, the other practices calligraphy, and the two are distinct and unrelated.

"Are you free?" Ling Chen asked Xiang Ping Leyi.

"Of course. Ping Leyi stopped the brush in his hand and looked at Ling Chen.

"If it's convenient, can you help me check what happened in Wanyuan Town in Spruce County last year?" Ling Chen said.

"What's going on in your hometown?

Is it wrong?" Ping Leyi asked habitually when he heard this. Because he remembered that Ling Chen was Spruce County, since he had entrusted him to help check it, he naturally had to ask clearly.

"I don't know. Ling Chen shook his head, "The relatives in my hometown can't be contacted, and there is no news there." So I'd like to ask you to help me find out if anything has happened there, whatever the news. ”

"It's not that hard. Ping Leyi touched his chin and thought for a moment: "Are you in a hurry?"

"Sort of. ”

"I'll give you news before that evening. After saying that, he took out a transmission note from the Qiankun bag, and passed the words out according to what Ling Chen said.

Ping Leyi is a child of a family, so naturally he has the means and channels to find out these news. And these things will not involve confidential information, unless the Peace Alliance deliberately blocks the news, and outsiders will not contact Ling Chen's head for these news.

"Thank you. Ling Chen clenched his fists.

"Eh, you're welcome. With that, Ping Leyi continued to pick up the brush and practice calligraphy.

Ling Chen glanced down and found that the entire rice paper was full of a sentence: "Lu Hongkai Dasha X".

......

At ten o'clock in the evening, Wang Qingyun came back slowly, and he didn't know what he was doing that day.

"Qingyun, accompany me out to buy something to eat. As soon as he saw Wang Qingyun, Ling Chen walked over and put his backhand around his shoulders and pushed him out of the dormitory.

"Eh, I... Yes. Wang Qingyun was about to say something, but he felt that his shoulder was pinched by Ling Chen. So he reacted immediately, answered and walked out of the dormitory with Ling Chen.

"What do you want to eat?"

"Let's go out and have a look, I want to eat something salty. ”

"Aren't you talking nonsense..."

The two of them came to a forest and made sure that there was no one else around, Ling Chen took off the seemingly relaxed expression on his face and became much calmer.

"What's wrong?" Wang Qingyun asked. Since there are things that cannot be said in the dormitory, then the problem must be serious.

"Today, I was taken for questioning by someone from the Criminal Division. Ling Chen said.

"Criminal Division?" Wang Qingyun couldn't help but be a little puzzled, "What are they looking for you?"

After all, Wang Qingyun is a good young man who abides by the law, so when he heard about the Xingli Division, he was just a little puzzled, and he didn't understand why they suddenly came to the door.

"They said that they suspected me of harboring the thief, and they let me go because of insufficient evidence, but I think they wanted to find the eldest brother through me. Ling Chen said.

"Brother Liang, has something happened to him?" Wang Qingyun was taken aback, since he hooked up with the Xingli Division, it would definitely not be a good thing.

"I don't know, like Ziqing, I haven't been able to get in touch. I also wrote a letter to my eldest brother a month ago, but I was intercepted by someone from the Criminal Division, and it was almost used as evidence. To tell the truth, Ling Chen would only say it to Wang Qingyun, because Ling Chen could trust him unconditionally.

"So now the people of the Criminal Division have insufficient evidence, and they are just trying to throw bricks and bricks at you, and their target is Brother Liang. Wang Qingyun nodded, indicating that he already knew the ins and outs of the matter.

"I'll ask Ping Leyi to help me investigate what happened in Wanyuan Town last year, you have so many inner courtyard classmates with backgrounds, is there a channel to find out some news about the eldest brother?" Ling Chen asked.

Wang Qingyun frowned and thought for a moment before saying, "It's really much safer to investigate separately like this, leave it to me." ”

"You don't have to come forward in this matter again, maybe the people from the Punishment Division are still staring at you. "I glanced at the sky, and it was already a little dark.

"Let's go back first, and we'll talk about it tomorrow. Patting Ling Chen's shoulder, Wang Qingyun comforted.

"That's right. After taking two steps forward, Wang Qingyun suddenly stopped, looked at Ling Chen and said, "What are you eating?"
