Volume 1 Crossing the Rivers and Lakes and Involving Temples Chapter 27 Suspicion
For the old scar who has been a secret agent for more than ten years, death is a relief. Instead of living every day in fear, it is better to let go of all distractions in one death. Ye Chen didn't expect that his knife would be able to win against the old scar, and at that time, he only knew that if he didn't resist desperately, the person who died was likely to be himself.
The death of the old scar is not a good thing for everyone, because according to the investigation, the old scar should know many things about the Blood Knife Gate and even the old nest. In other words, the relationship between the Blood Knife Gate and An Liguo's secret agents is intricate, and if the old scar is captured alive, many of everyone's doubts will no longer exist.
Huangfu looked coldly at the corpse of the old scar in front of him, frowned slightly and asked: "Ye Chen, this person's skills are not under you, how did you kill him in such a short time, and it can be seen that he didn't struggle much, and even smiled before he died, as if he saw something or someone he wanted to see." ”
Ye Chen replied: "I didn't think too much about it at that time, I just knew that if I didn't kill him, I would die, and I was afraid of death." ”
The crisp and neat answer made Huangfu Leng still unable to solve his doubts. He looked at Ye Chen and continued to ask, "Then did he say any strange words or do any strange movements in his body before he died?" ”
Ye Chen looked at Huangfu and replied coldly: "Smile before dying." ”
Now everyone is confused, what kind of person will smile before he dies?
Huangfu Leng lowered his head and didn't speak, thinking quietly, many clues will be broken at the right time every time he reaches the key point, to say that he doesn't have an inner ghost Huangfu Leng really doesn't believe it. And now for him, Ye Chen is the most suspicious. Qin Xiaoqin once mentioned Ye Chen to him, this person has ability, courage, affection, and reason, but the background investigation has not yet ended. And he and another brother saved Lin Zhijiang's daughter Lin Yanyan as soon as they arrived in Annan Province, which is a bit of a coincidence.
Ye Chen felt the strangeness of Huangfu's coldness, but he thought he was wondering about the case, and didn't think much about it.
Huangfu coldly instructed Li Wei: "Bring back a hundred red armor, today's incident involves the secret spy of the enemy country, and you must keep it secret after returning to Gyeonggi Province." ”
Li Wei got on his horse and turned around and returned to the city, followed by a hundred red armors, and everything was in order. Even Lin Zhijiang on the side praised: "If my Dahua army can do such an order and ban the Red Armor Army, why worry about the clowns of neighboring countries." ”
Ye Chen looked at the back of Hongjia leaving and said, "General Lin, how is Zou Hu." ”
Lin Zhijiang replied: "There should be no big problem, the military medical officer said that although there are many injuries, they are not fatal, and it is estimated that they are all torture methods." ”
Ye Chen nodded and said, "General Lin, the matter of the Blood Knife Gate has come to an end, and Miss Lin is no longer a threat for the time being, and the Blood Knife Gate that she just caught should be handed over to the Inspector Division for trial." Now that there is nothing to do, I applied for official entry into the camp, and General Wanglin approved it. ”
Lin Zhijiang nodded with a smile and said, "Well, I also have this intention." After speaking, Lin Zhijiang suddenly thought of what Huangfu Leng had said before, hesitated for a moment and said: "But now you are temporarily borrowing the Inspectorate to handle the case, and it will be managed by Lord Huangfu, if you want to join my Dragon Armor Army, it is best to ask for the opinion of Lord Huangfu!" "That being said, but Lin Zhijiang has no choice, who makes the Emperor of the Family Leng of high grade.
Now Ye Chen should be puzzled, didn't he say that he would assist Qin Xiaoqin of the Supervision Department in investigating the case, when did it become a temporary case handling by the Supervision Division.
Huangfu, who had been thinking about it, said coldly: "Ye Chen, the case of the Blood Knife Gate is not over yet, and only Qin Xiaoqin and you are directly involved in the investigation from beginning to end, and now that Qin Xiaoqin is seriously injured, I still hope you can stay and help me." Although I brought a few hundred households from Gyeonggi Province, they are not familiar with the place after all, so I will leave it to you to take the lead, and you will mainly lead the investigation of the case. ”
Everyone was stunned, and the inspector Si Baihu obeyed a martial artist who had no official position, which had never been heard of in the history of Huaguo. Everyone also began to speculate about what kind of identity this Ye Chen was, which could make the cold-faced Hades of the Inspectorate so loved.
Ye Chen heard Huangfu Leng say this, and immediately clenched his fists and leaned over and said: "Lord Huangfu, don't be joking, how can I, a reckless man in the countryside, participate in the case of the Supervision Division, and ask Lord Huangfu to think twice." ”
Huangfu sneered and waved his hand and said: "I, Huangfu treats people coldly and never looks at status and status, only people who meet my taste and ability can enter my eyes, you don't shirk, isn't it my identity as the head of the inspectorate and please don't move you?" Although Huangfu said this coldly, no one knew what he was planning in his heart.
Ye Chen was just about to speak, but Lin Zhijiang on the side pulled his shoulders and interjected: "Since Lord Huangfu has said so, you might as well obey your fate respectfully, it is your blessing to be able to follow Lord Huangfu." ”
Seeing that this was not good, Ye Chen could only give up, and the plan to enter the camp was extended indefinitely.
Huangfu replied coldly when he saw his purpose, and breathed a sigh of relief imperceptibly, if Ye Chen was really an Anli spy as he guessed, no matter whether he checked it or not, then this move would definitely make him exposed.
Ye Chen didn't know that Huangfu Leng had doubts about himself at this time, and he was still thinking about how to continue to investigate the case.
After everyone cleaned up the mess back to the mountain town, the sky was already bright. Ye Chen and his entourage rushed towards the city gate of Annan Road with more than 20 captives from the Blood Knife Gate, and when they were hungry on the way, they took out the flatbread they bought before and took a few bites, and when they saw that those prisoners also wanted to eat, Ye Chen only said one sentence: "When Qin Xiaoqin and Zou Hu's injuries are healed, when will you eat again." ”
Just as those disciples of the Blood Knife Sect scolded his ancestors for the eighteenth generation, he heard Ye Chen add again: "The water pipe is enough, as long as you don't die!" The brothers of the inspector next to them were very relieved when they heard this, and everyone shouted for a while! And the emperor on the side was cold and confused, originally he was only suspicious of Ye Chen, but now when he saw Ye Chen say this, his suspicion was a little less.
The day's journey made everyone tired, and what was even more pitiful was the prisoners of the Blood Knife Gate who bound their hands and feet, and they only had water to drink and no dry food to eat along the way, even if the iron man walked so far, he couldn't stand it. As soon as he arrived at the Yamen of the Inspectorate Division, Huang Fu Leng arranged for someone to interrogate these disciples of the Blood Knife Sect, because before he came, Emperor Zhu Chengyuan gave a death order, when to find out the facts of the case, and when to go back. Of course, he didn't want to go back early, because His Majesty the Emperor was really anxious this time, and he was really angry! And those prisoners of the Blood Knife Gate now want to eat, and they are listless in the face of interrogation, resulting in everyone's inefficiency.
Ye Chen did not follow Huangfu Leng to the Supervision Division, but went back to the Lin Mansion directly with Lin Zhijiang, because he wanted to ask Lin Zhijiang why? There has been no suitable opportunity on the road.
While everyone was eating dinner, Chen Bing asked, "Chenzi, are you okay, I heard from the people at the city gate that those bandits are not small!" ”
Ye Chen replied with a smile: "It's okay." "It's not good for him to say the others at the dinner table, after all, there are many people at the table, and it involves An Liguo's secret agents, so it's better to be careful before the matter is investigated. Of course, he has 100% unconditional trust in Chen Bing, and can only wait until no one is private to tell him the truth.
Ye Chen quickly finished eating, and then followed Lin Zhijiang to the study, and he spoke: "General Lin, there is something unclear below, please ask the general for advice." ”
Lin Zhijiang didn't look at him, and said, "You want to ask Lord Huangfu why he insists on asking you to investigate this case?" ”
Ye Chen nodded and said, "I'm a country boy who has just set foot in the rivers and lakes, how can I let the head of the inspectorate Huangfu value it so much?" If I want to say that I am talented, I will definitely not believe it, there must be some other reason! ”
Lin Zhijiang has been in the officialdom for so many years, of course, he also knows that this is unlikely, but because of his identity, he can't ask the emperor what he is cold, and the inspector is directly responsible for His Majesty the emperor, and the holy will is not something he can guess. He looked at Ye Chen and said, "I don't know the specific reason, but we have to believe in Lord Huangfu, don't worry about handling the case, it's not good to say that this is a turning point in your life." "For Ye Chen, from the beginning of saving Lin Yanyan but not taking credit, Lin Zhijiang began to slowly appreciate him, young people are arrogant but not arrogant, rare!
When Ye Chen said goodbye and was about to leave the study, Lin Zhijiang still couldn't help but say: "All the clues are just right, you have also participated in all the processes, before meeting the old scar, Huangfu Leng asked Qin Xiaoqin to inform you, the old scar can't be killed, and after he disappeared in that courtyard, it was also the first time you found him and killed him, and more importantly, his smile before death, this kind of sign makes people have to think about it." But I, Lin Zhijiang, believe in my eyes, and you don't want to let me down. ”
Ye Chen looked back at Lin Zhijiang, nodded heavily, and didn't say a word out of the study. It seems that there is no other way than to investigate the case to prove innocence.
After exiting the study, he walked out of the Lin Mansion compound with Chen Bing, and the two chatted while walking, Ye Chen told Chen Bing everything he knew, including Huangfu Leng's arrangement, without reservation. Chen Bing said angrily: "You were busy helping them investigate the case, and you almost lost your life by someone else's plot, and now they are starting to suspect you, isn't it obvious that you are bullying people again!" Could it be that the one named Huangfu Leng who wants to suspect anyone will suspect him? In the whole world, he has the final say? ”
Ye Chen hurriedly covered his mouth, he knew that Chen Bing had such a temper, and he guessed that he would be like this, the reason why he told him was just that he didn't want him to know this from other people's mouths in the future, let alone have a trace of estrangement between them. A brother is a brother, a brother who talks about everything.
Chen Bing took Ye Chen's hand and said word by word: "Chenzi, otherwise let's go back to Nameless Town, where at least we can live a carefree life, and there is no such intrigue among the people in the city, don't they suspect us?" Let them doubt it, let's stop playing with them. ”
Ye Chen smiled and put his arm around his neck and said, "Don't worry, I'm fine, besides, Uncle Chen also said, I can't embarrass the people in our village!" ”
Chen Bing didn't say anything again, what Chenzi said was what it was, and the two of them walked quietly in the dark like this......
