Chapter 11 Wall [Please give me a monthly ticket! ]
"key?"
Looking at the brass key that suddenly appeared, everyone present immediately realized that since Zhen Changzhi had hidden this item so secretly, it must be locking up a big secret, and it might be the key to uncovering the conspiracy between Zhen Changzhi and the murderer.
"Everyone, immediately conduct a thorough investigation of the Zhen family. Dig three feet underground to find the lock that corresponds to this key!" Ling Yuanbao gave the order immediately, and the people from the Ministry of Justice and the Imperial Guards acted with great vigor.
The Zhen family's house was not big, and a group of people conducted a carpet search inside and outside, but there was no result until three o'clock in the morning.
Hu Tiehan said, "Captain Ling, it seems that we will not get any results tonight. My brothers still have to patrol the streets day and night, so why not let them go back and rest early? Tomorrow, you can gather the backbone elites of the Ministry of Justice and try to search again?"
Although Ling Yuanbao was unwilling, the Imperial Guards were not her direct subordinates after all, and the current search was indeed at a stalemate, so she had no choice but to respond: "Okay, then seal everything here, and I will ask the commander to send more people tomorrow."
"Oh." Liang Yue sighed.
It seems that it is not so easy to catch the murderer as soon as possible and completely clear the two brothers of suspicion.
"Alas." Chen Ju looked at Ling Yuanbao over there and sighed.
"What's wrong with you?" Liang Yue asked.
"I fell in love with Miss Ling at first sight, but she ignored me. I felt really depressed." Chen Ju shook his head and sighed.
"Come on, you said a few days ago that you fell in love with Miss Wen at first sight." Liang Yue was too lazy to pay attention to him.
"Yes." Chen Ju turned his head and said, "If I could marry Miss Wen in this life, I would be happy to be promoted to a higher position."
"Why are you eating and taking things at the same time?" Liang Yue was speechless.
Good guy.
It’s really night time and we go straight into fantasy time.
"I've heard a saying before, 'Lust is the first hurdle for young men.'" Chen Ju said with emotion, "I'm facing this hurdle now. When I see a beautiful woman, I fall in love with her. I hope I can get over it soon."
"I've also heard a saying, 'A man stays young until he dies.' I'm afraid you won't be able to pass this hurdle in your lifetime." Liang Yue said mercilessly.
"Ah?" Chen Ju's face was suddenly filled with despair.
As he spoke, Liang Yue looked around and asked, "Where's Dachun?"
He was so focused on solving the case just now that he realized he seemed not to have seen Pang Chun.
"Hey." Chen Ju pointed to the shadow of the wall, "He's been lazing around there since we got in."
When Liang Yue walked over, he saw Dachun standing in the shadows, his forehead against the wall, taking a nap. He was hard to spot in the night because of his black Imperial Guard uniform.
"Dachun!" Liang Yue called out, and seeing that he didn't move, he lowered his voice and whispered, "Are you eating braised pork for supper? Isn't that too greasy?"
"Not greasy!" Pang Chun's ears pricked up, and before he even opened his eyes, he mumbled, "I love braised pork the most."
When he saw the scene clearly, he was still in the haunted house. He suddenly felt disappointed, "Ayue, how could you lie?"
"I can't wake you up without doing this. We're going to call it a day soon, so don't sleep any more." Liang Yue laughed and said, "You're such a jerk. You're being lazy in front of the people from the Ministry of Justice. Aren't you afraid that Brother Hu will scold you?"
"Hehe, I've used this trick several times. When I'm on a mission at night, I take a nap facing the wall. Our clothes are the same color as the wall, and no one has ever noticed." Pang Chun smiled proudly.
"You are really a little genius." Chen Ju teased.
Hearing this, Liang Yue wanted to laugh at first, but he didn't know what he thought of, and suddenly his eyes flashed with brilliance!
He looked at Dachun and said sincerely: "Yes, Dachun, you are a genius!"
……
Over there, Ling Yuanbao was telling the Ministry of Justice to finish their work. "Let's stop here for today. Seal up all the items here and don't leave anything behind."
Her expression looked a little depressed.
After all, although we have gained something today, we haven't found the real murderer, nor have we discovered any hidden secrets.
She had just been promoted and had the least experience among all the detectives in the Criminal Department. She happened to be on duty today and it was her first time to handle such a serious case. If she solved the case, she would become famous in one fell swoop; if it was delayed until tomorrow, the case might not be under her jurisdiction.
With such an ending, the new captain of the police could not help but feel a little regretful.
Hu Tiehan also called on the brothers stationed at Fukangfang to gather. When they saw that everyone was lined up, three more people suddenly ran up to the wall. The leader, Liang Yue, shouted, "Wait a minute! I think I have guessed where Master Zhen's secret is hidden!"
"Hmm?" Ling Yuanbao's originally disappointed eyes suddenly lit up again. When he looked over again, he found that it was still the same guard.
Liang Yue.
It's him again.
At this moment, Liang Yue in Ling Yuanbao's eyes was radiating light all over his body.
"Oh? You found it?" Hu Tiehan was also overjoyed.
The Imperial Guards always bowed their heads in front of the Ministry of Justice, and were considered reckless men who could not solve cases, and they always did things as assistants. Today, Liang Yue repeatedly made contributions with wisdom, which really brought honor to the Fukangfang garrison.
"Not yet, but I have a guess." Liang Yue strode back to the study, "Everyone, follow me in."
He stood in front of the partition wall in the middle of the study, pointed at it, and said, "The original north-south layout of this study has been blocked by the existence of this wall. Lord Zhen is in charge of the drawing part of engineering construction in the Ministry of Engineering. He is an expert in this area and should not make such a mistake. The appearance of this wall in his study is even more strange."
"You are suspicious..." Ling Yuanbao guessed Liang Yue's thoughts upon hearing this, and continued, "He hid something in this wall? Yes, it is very likely!"
Her voice gradually became excited.
Anyone who enters this room may find this wall strange at first glance, but they will just think of it as some kind of unique design and won’t think too much about it after getting used to it.
If it weren't for Pang Chun's brilliant idea of "disguising as a wall", Liang Yue wouldn't have thought of the above.
So this genius, Dachun, deserves the title.
After hearing Liang Yue's words, Chen Ju realized why he was so excited just now, and gave Pang Chun a thumbs up and said, "Men named Chun are different."
"Hehe." Dachun smiled innocently and scratched his head.
Am I really a genius?
"Whether it is true or not, just open it and you will know." Liang Yue said loudly on the other side.
"Come here, two people!" Hu Tiehan called out, "Tear down this wall for me!"
Immediately, two strong men from the Imperial Guard came up with hammers and started hammering the wall left and right!
Pass!
Pass!
Pass!
Pass……
The two strong men smashed it for a long time, but apart from some gray skin falling off, the wall didn't move at all. There was not even a crack. I wonder how it was built.
"Most likely there is a magic circle on it." Hu Tiehan frowned.
"Everyone, get out of the way." Ling Yuanbao saw this and stepped out from the crowd, shouted at the two strong men to leave, and faced the solid wall alone, shouting, "Ho--"
A flying kick!
Boom!
There was a loud bang, and everyone present couldn't help but tremble their eyebrows after hearing this kick.
So strong.
Ling Yuanbao kicked the wall, then took it back and took two steps back. The wall did not change at first, but a moment later, a crack suddenly appeared, and then one after another spread out along it... The cracks covered the entire wall in a blink of an eye.
No matter what formation it was, it was broken in one go.
Wow!
As the broken wall fell to the ground, the true appearance inside was revealed.
"Oh——"
An uproar ensued, and all the onlookers were amazed.
Because after the surface disappeared, what was revealed behind was a wall of glittering silver. Bright rectangular silver ingots piled together formed a whole high wall!
Silver, silver, all silver!
Countless.
It's like a small silver vault!
Whether it was the constables of the Ministry of Justice or the imperial guards, their annual salary might not be enough to cover one of the above. Zhen Changzhi, as a sixth-rank official with a reputation for being honest, would have to work for thousands of years without eating or drinking to save up so much silver with his salary.
"Oh my god..." Even a young man from an aristocratic family like Chen Ju, who was used to seeing the silver light in his eyes, couldn't help but say bitterly: "Zhen Changzhi... this grandson's death was really not unjust."
