Chapter 47: The Case That Alarmed the Prince
After some inquiry, Chen Chao learned that Master Bai and Prince Su were really friends, and they had done antique trading together in their early years, and at this time, Lord Su came to Baisha Town to congratulate Bai Shilang, but because of the weather, he delayed the trip and missed the auspicious day. Unexpectedly, it was already separated by heaven and man.
Chen Chao finally understood the reason why the Bai family's case could be promoted by the Criminal Department so quickly, and it was reasonable for Prince Su to intervene in the murder of Master Bai.
King Su ordered someone to present a list to An Pingyuan, and said by the way: "This is the investigation document of the Criminal Department, and a reward of 2,000 oceans is offered to thoroughly investigate the murder of Master Bai. ”
An Pingyuan: "Solving the case is like fighting a fire, it is urgent to delay, An will retire, and the prince will cherish it." ”
After An Pingyuan received the list text, he hugged his fists with Chen Chao and left the temporary residence of Prince Su.
After the two returned to their residence, they began to discuss the next investigation plan.
Chen Chao said: "Brother An, we have two cases on our hands now, namely the search for the stolen Red Rabbit Jade Horse in the palace and the murder of Master Bai, it seems that it is time for us to investigate separately." ”
Normally, bounty hunters will only take one order at a time, but this time is a little different, and both cases have a lot to do with the imperial court.
One is supervised by the Criminal Department under the order of the Queen Mother, and the other is directly intervened by the Prince, all of which are cases directly sent down from above.
Besides, since he received the bounty hunter gold medal from the Queen Mother, the case of the imperial court cannot be shirked, and no matter how difficult it is, he has to be responsible for the investigation, unless he really has no time to doppelganger.
Chen Chao has been following An Pingyuan for a while, and he has outstanding ability, his martial arts attainments have been slightly successful, and he has the ability to protect himself.
Although it was a bit overwhelming to investigate two difficult cases at the same time, it was barely able to take care of it.
An Pingyuan nodded, there was no way to divide the soldiers into two ways.
An Pingyuan thought about it for a while, and said to Chen Chao: "In this way, I will be responsible for the murder of Master Bai." You said before that the murderer's martial arts are stronger than you, and if you are really encountered, it will be difficult for you to deal with it. Check the clues of the red rabbit jade horse, I will hand it over to you, your reasoning ability is stronger than mine, finding people is my strength, but finding objects is your specialty. ”
Chen Chao agreed, An Pingyuan's distribution was very reasonable, and Master Bai's case involved his old good intentions, and An Pingyuan was personally responsible, which was easier to deal with than himself, an outsider.
An Pingyuan said again: "However, the two of us are nominally investigating separately, but intelligence must be exchanged and shared frequently, and I have a feeling that these two cases must be intrinsically linked." ”
"That's right, the clue to the Red Rabbit Jade Horse is in the Bai family, and Master Bai was killed because of a secret, whether this secret is related to the Red Rabbit Jade Horse, it's really hard to say at present." Chen Chao also said.
An Pingyuan immediately asked, "Brother Chen, did you hear what the secret was last night?" ”
Chen Chao shook his head and said: "That old bastard Bai just said that this secret is very important and can make people rich and prosperous for thousands of generations, and also said that when the time comes, Zhou Guoxing, the king of Ning, will be the king of soldiers, and he will be the king of money." ”
There is no doubt that what this secret is associated with must be very valuable, and the wealth is rivaled by the country.
"By the way, Brother An, who is this Ning King Zhou Guoxing in Master Bai's mouth, and why can he be called the king of soldiers?" Chen Chao asked. He knew too little about Da Yan in this overhead world, and his eyes were simply dark.
An Pingyuan had long been accustomed to Chen Chao's historical blindness, and said to him: "King Su and King Ning are both one-word kings, and they are all princes. There are many princes in Dayan, but there are only a few who have strength.
In addition to Prince Su, the prince who is still strong is King Ning, who is deeply favored by the Queen Mother.
Ning Wang Wentao Wuluo, and with the support of Wuge in the East China Sea, and holding heavy soldiers, he is the existence of stomping on the Beijing division to shake, he is not the king of soldiers, who can afford the word king of soldiers? ”
"Oh," Chen Chao nodded, although he didn't quite understand how powerful King Ning was, but he was always a very powerful existence, so that's right.
It is understandable that a rich man with a big secret has a big secret but deals with such a person, and he was killed by the tiger skin, and it is also in line with the sentence, which is called the innocence of the husband and the guilt of the guilt.
"By the way, Brother An, I almost forgot." Chen Chao suddenly remembered an important matter, and said to An Pingyuan: "When I was leaving last night, I heard the old bastard Bai say that there are actually four parts of the secret, which are hidden in the bodies of the four ladies, and the last part I saw with my own eyes that the old bastard Bai handed over a handkerchief with handwriting to Du Yuhan, which is your wish." ”
"What? Some of the secrets were obtained by Ruyi? "An Pingyuan is in a hurry, he is not guilty, he understands the truth of his guilt, and he knows what he shouldn't know, and if he doesn't do it, he will follow in his footsteps like Bai Shilang.
"We have to find a way to help Ruyi......," An Pingyuan said.
Chen Chao: "Need help?" ”
An Pingyuan shook his head, "You are responsible for investigating the Red Rabbit Jade Horse, and I will do the Ruyi matter myself." ”
Chen Chao: "Okay, then if you need help, remember to call me." ”
An Pingyuan: "Okay." I will, you go get busy. ”
After a while, An Pingyuan turned around and saw that Chen Chao was still staying here, so he asked puzzledly: "Brother Chen, why don't you leave?" What else is there going on? ”
Chen Chao scratched his brain, and said embarrassedly: "Brother An, actually...... I want to borrow some money from you...... As you know, it costs money to handle the case, but most of my previous bounty has been used to scatter money, and the rest is only enough for daily expenses, so ......"
Chen Chaoman only had a dozen or so oceans left on his body, and it would cost him money to inquire about the news, and it would cost him money to buy all the informants, so this amount of money was not enough at all, so he could only ask the master for relief for the time being.
Moreover, Chen Chao knew that An Pingyuan had been busy with other things recently, and he didn't have time to run around to make money, so the large amount of newly obtained bounties must still be there.
Chen Chao's speculation is not wrong at all, there is indeed a lot of balance in the bounty that An Pingyuan received before, anyway, he will eventually use the extra money to scatter wealth and help the poor people, and now it is not a matter of words to lend a little money to the apprentice for case handling.
An Pingyuan immediately lent a hundred oceans to Chen Chao, and asked if it was enough, so moved that Chen Chao squeezed out a little tears, and sighed that it was better for master.
With the money, then the next thing can be on the right track.
Chen Chao first spent more than a dozen oceans to go to the ready-to-wear store to buy a suit, disguised himself as a cultural relics dealer, and found the big stick of the Bai Family Nursing Home that came out to procure it, and inquired about the news of the Red Rabbit Jade Horse.
Chen Chao was dressed in a decent costume, and also brought a popular round-edged courtesy, coupled with a pair of flat glasses, at first glance it really looked like that, after serving two pieces of ocean, he asked Wang Da Stick: "This little brother, are you from the Bai family?" ”
