Chapter 151: Detective Zhang Hook
Chapter 151
A group of people were still waiting halfway up the hill, the second prince was already chilling all over, and when the mountain wind blew, he wrapped his body tightly, but his whole face was strangely red.
"No, I can't find it. ”
"No, these two people are lost too. ”
"Quite possibly. ”
"It's better to go back and inform the city defense camp first, and wait until dawn tomorrow to look for it. ”
The people around said one after another.
The second prince stared ahead with round eyes, and when the day dawned, he was going to be cold.
"You see, they're back. ”
Someone pointed to the distance and shouted, and everyone looked over, only to see a torch lit in the dark, like a lonely lamp, slowly drifting towards this side.
The eyes of the second prince widened, and he saw the flickering torches drifting in little by little, getting closer and closer, getting closer and closer......
I was finally able to see it clearly, and I saw Zhuang Yisheng talking with Guo Xiao on his back, and the Snow Lady holding a torch beside him.
Guo Xiaotan just wanted to cry, but when she saw so many people, she instantly held back her tears - she is a strong person after all.
Zhuang Yisheng put Guo Xiaotan down and said, "Fortunately, I didn't disgrace my life, I finally found it, she just broke her leg, and it wasn't serious." ”
"It's good to be back, it's good to be back. ”
The second prince's hands trembled, and after seeing Guo Xiaotan, his heart returned to his stomach.
Guo Xiaotan's servants hurriedly surrounded them, they also walked away in the ghost gate, and if Guo Xiaotan had an accident, none of their heads would be saved.
Others gathered around and chatted with Guo Xiao.
"Miss Guo is fine, she scared me out just now. ”
"I'm also going to send a large army over and search the mountains overnight. ”
"I'm most worried about it, my shoes have just run off. ”
Everyone surrounded Guo Xiaotan, and on the other side, the second prince tightly held Zhuang Yisheng's hand:
"Thanks to Brother Xu, I'll look for you tomorrow......"
Suddenly, his hands straightened, and he fell on his back.
"Prince, Prince......"
The servants of the second prince surrounded him and held him up.
"Is he okay?" Zhuang Yisheng said.
"The prince may be too anxious, his heart is angry, it's okay, it's okay, my prince often pulls over. ”
"Alright then......"
Zhuang Yisheng was a little speechless, Guo Xiaotan had just been rescued, and the second prince pulled it again.
Finally, there was no danger, and everyone gathered together to return to the city.
When he returned to the mansion of the Snow Lady, Zhuang Yisheng took a bath and changed his clothes, drank medicine, practiced exercises, and finally fell asleep.
The next morning, as soon as the sun had risen, there was a knock at the door.
"Hurry up, the second prince is here. The maid's voice came from outside the door.
Zhuang Yisheng changed his clothes and came to the front hall, where he saw the second prince and the snow lady sitting there. It was still early autumn, and the second prince had already put on a cotton robe, a hat on his head, and his whole face was pale and miserable.
"Second prince, you are ......"
"Sick, I had a cold last night. ”
Zhuang Yisheng thought to himself, if you are sick, you should go to the doctor and find me what to do.
"I came here today on purpose to ask Brother Xu to help me investigate the case?"
"Huh?"
Zhuang Yisheng subconsciously pinched his fingers: "I'm just a scholar, and I have some ancestral skills, and I'm not good at investigating cases." ”
"Brother Xu doesn't have to be modest, I already have some insight yesterday, Brother Xu is meticulous, brave and strategic, no one else can find Miss Guo, but Brother Xu can find it, this is proof. The second prince said: "What's more, I am seriously understaffed now, but I borrowed a detective from Nanyan, and it seems that I don't have any ability." ”
Seeing that Zhuang Yisheng was still a little hesitant, the second prince said: "In fact, investigating a case is the same as hunting, it requires investigation, analysis, and a little luck. ”
"Since the second prince said so, I naturally can't refuse anymore. Zhuang Yisheng said: "It's just that I'm an outsider, and it's not right to check the name of this matter, I'm afraid it's not very convenient." ”
"You can rest assured, Brother Xu is assisting in this matter, I also found someone else and found clues, Brother Xu is responsible for making suggestions, and someone will take care of it. ”
Zhuang Yisheng thought about it, he really needed a justifiable reason to intervene, and in the same way, starting to investigate this case would naturally attract the attention of others and risk exposure.
But since he is already in Donglu, this risk must be taken.
Thinking of this, he arched his hand and said, "The prince can trust me, and I must do my best to live up to the prince's trust." ”
"Good, good, good. ”
The second prince nodded one after another, stood up and said, "I'll take you to the Criminal Department now." ”
The Snow Lady was stunned: "So urgent?"
The second prince sighed: "There are only three days left before the deadline set by His Majesty. ”
There was a soft sedan chair outside the door, Zhuang Yisheng and the second prince rode in the same sedan chair, and the snow lady thought about it and didn't follow.
After a short time, he came to the criminal department.
The Donglu Criminal Department, Dali Temple, and Yushitai were all dispatched, and the four princes were all investigating the case.
This is a competition, and it is about the future crown prince.
The four princes are also looking for competent candidates, and among the four princes, the second prince is relatively weak, and there are naturally not many people who can use him.
What's more, the Criminal Department is the sphere of influence of the four princes, and the second prince is restricted everywhere here, that is, to fight soy sauce.
But who doesn't want to be the emperor, the second prince also wants to fight.
There is a separate courtyard in the Criminal Department, which is the office of the second prince, Zhuang Yisheng just walked in, and when he looked up, he saw an acquaintance.
Hook.
Detective Zhang Gou from Nanyan.
He looked up and saw Zhang Hook, and Zhuang Yisheng was subconsciously a little nervous.
Recently, he has been imitating Xu Shen, from his personality to his walking posture, his tone and demeanor when he speaks, and his subtle little habits.
also constantly appeared in front of people, corrected little by little, Zhuang Yisheng was sure that he had completely transformed from Zhuang Yisheng to Xu Shen.
Now is the time to be put to the test.
After Zhang Gou saw the second prince, he stepped back and saluted, and then moved his gaze to Zhuang Yisheng.
"This is ......"
"This is the son of Xu Shen from Nanyan who I invited to assist in the investigation of the case. ”
Zhang Hook arched his hand: "Look up for a long time." ”
"This is Mr. Zhang Gou, a detective from Nanyan, and you are still fellow villagers. ”
Zhuang Yisheng hugged his fists and said: "It has been famous for a long time. ”
The second prince led Zhuang Yisheng inside and met Hu Jiafei from Donglu Tai Academy.
"Mr. Hu has been here today, and you have seen it, I am unwell and want to go back to recuperate, if there is anything, you can ask Mr. Hu. ”
Zhuang Yisheng rushed to Hu Jiafei to see the courtesy.
After leaving Zhuang Yisheng, the second prince took his leave and left.
After a while, Zhang Hook came in from the outside again.
As soon as Zhang Gou walked in, everyone looked at him and smiled, and the air inside and outside the house was full of joy.
"Detective Zhang, what clues did you find?"
"Tell us about your subduing of the Northern Yan thugs. ”
"With Detective Zhang, we are much more at ease when investigating the case. ”
"At least one wrong answer can be ruled out...... Ha ha. ”
It wasn't until Zhang Hook's face was red that everyone in the room laughed.
