Chapter 139 Pressure(1/2)
So far this year, there have been three major cases, crocodile case, zombie case, and missing case.
Many people died in every case, causing a huge sensation.
Now the crocodile case and the zombie case have come to an end, and the cause and effect have been roughly investigated. The rest is to fight a tough battle, and Nie Qingyun, the general manager of Ganzhou, is responsible for it.
The disappearance case is not over yet. Although the bones were found, the mastermind behind the scenes had no clue.
Many suspects have been arrested now, including Ruan Peng, the second butler of the Du family's second house. It is said that they have been interrogated carefully, but unfortunately they did not get any useful clues.
I only checked the Huyun Temple for a rough look, but there were no clues.
Therefore, the disappearance case is still confusing and has little meaning to start.
Qu Yixiong came to Du Zongcheng for this case, and he wanted to hear Du Zongcheng's high opinions.
Due to Ruan Peng's relationship, Du Zongcheng wanted to avoid suspicion at the beginning, but Qu Yixiong insisted on asking for advice, so Du Zongcheng had to make a few suggestions.
After saying that, Du Yong happened to enter the study.
"Duwei, you found the bones in the missing case. Now the case is a bit stuck. What are your suggestions?"
Qu Yixiong's official power is not very powerful. Although he is cool, his behavior is not annoying. He doesn't speak to his subordinates and says whatever he thinks.
"Mr. Qu, those bones were not found by his subordinates, but led by Captain Cheng Yuan. He has only been in Dali Temple for a few days, so he really dare not take the advice."
Du Yong's face was full of humility, he had to be humble, Du Zongcheng watched.
Qu Yixiong interrupted directly: "You boy don't talk nonsense. Since you are involved in this case, how can you be out of the matter?"
Du Zongcheng agreed: "Just tell me what you think, Qu Shaoqing is your Shangguan."
Du Yong nodded and asked carefully: "Mr. Qu, is the pressure on our Dali Temple to be very high?"
Qu Yixiong sighed softly: "There must be pressure, but it is not very large. The court has no limit on the date, and the people have not scolded him. As long as you can find the mastermind."
Du Yong carefully said: "Mr. Qu, what subordinates meant... when investigating the case, did any special personnel deliberately obstruct it?"
Qu Yixiong and Du Zongcheng frowned at the same time, with a very serious expression. They both understood Du Yong's meaning. The so-called special personnel refer to people from the court, or some big figures in the capital.
Yang Jin knew what Du Yong wanted to say, so he secretly felt sweaty.
The old housekeeper next to him is still the same, looking at his eyes, nose and heart.
Qu Yixiong was not an ordinary person after all, and did not scold Du Yong, but said lightly: "What does Du Guwei mean?"
Du Yong coughed lightly and said seriously: "Mr. Qu, I thought about it and there were many suspicions. First of all, the murderer threw so many bodies at the bottom of the Yuhe River, and it was still as prosperous as the west of the city. It is hard to imagine that there was no witness. Secondly, I heard that many suspects have been arrested now, but I can't ask any useful things. Is the direction of arresting people still to be considered? Third, if you guess correctly, investigating Huyun Temple should be a lot of obstacles, right?"
Qu Yixiong narrowed his eyes and said in a deep voice: "What do you think of Du Wei? Why not say it bluntly!"
Du Yong sat down and was silent for a while, and said lightly: "Huyun Temple clearly has doubts. My subordinates reported this when they were still in the Seventh Team of Feng Group, but there has not been any progress yet. Is it because our Dali Temple is neglecting its duties? Or is there anyone in the way? It is impossible that the people can stop it by just saying a few words, right?"
The atmosphere suddenly became cold.
Qu Yixiong's eyes emitted a terrifying light, staring at Du Yong.
Du Yong looked at each other calmly without caring.
Seeing this, Du Zongcheng gently clicked on the table: "Xiao Yong, don't be excited."
Du Yong smiled and said, "Uncle, I was not excited, I just expressed my doubts. Huyun Temple has a long history. There are many respected masters in the temple, and the people admire them very much. Those are all right... But they can't be bigger than so many bones, right? Now there are at least hundreds of families waiting for the truth, so they just wait for it. I know that those families are not powerful families, but because of this, the problem is more worth pondering."
No matter whether he is worth pondering or not, he must bring Huyun Temple in.
Qu Yixiong withdrew his gaze, lowered his head slightly, as if he was thinking.
Du Zongcheng didn't say anything either.
The iron must be hit while it is hot, Du Yong patted his chest: "Mr. Qu wants to listen to the suggestions, but I really have one. I heard that the first team of the Fire Group has joined the case. If you can, let me take the lead in rushing into Huyun Temple. If there are special personnel to obstruct me, I will let him go and eat. As for the people who want to curse people, let them scold me, I don't care."
Of course, he didn't really want to take the lead, but he deliberately felt so righteous and put pressure on Qu Yixiong, so that he must pay attention to the suspicion of Huyun Temple.
Yang Jin secretly praised him.
In this case, Qu Yixiong would definitely not scold Du Yong, otherwise it would only attack the enthusiasm of his subordinates, but he would not directly make the decision to let Du Yong attack Huyun Temple because it is of great importance.
As expected, Qu Yixiong raised his head, breathed a long sigh, and said solemnly: "What Du Wei said makes sense, I will discuss it seriously with Lord Wang."
Du Yong quickly lowered his head and bowed respectfully, "Thank you, Lord Qu! I am arrogant, I hope Lord Qu will not be surprised."
Qu Yixiong pressed his hands down, and it was okay.
The old housekeeper reminded: "Mr. Marquis, it's time to have lunch."
Du Zongcheng nodded: "Yixiong, let's have a meal first, let's have a few drinks."
Qu Yixiong stretched his eyebrows and smiled and said, "Then I'll bother the marquis!"
Du Zongcheng turned to Du Yong: "Xiao Yong, you can have a few drinks with us. You should have a few days off. Don't rush to take the job, just take good care of your injuries at home."
Du Yong was secretly happy and said calmly: "Yes, uncle!"
During the meal, I didn't talk about the disappearance again.
Du Zongcheng asked about Du Yong's trip.
Du Yong spoke a little, focusing on the Soul Destroying Sect.
He didn't talk about Mr. Zhao, but only said that he happened to run into a small team of the Soul Destroying Sect, and fought a battle, and won with the terrain, and finally caught a living question.
The reason for saying this was explained by Master Zhao San. He didn't want to be so high-profile, but the matter of the Soul Destroying Sect still needs to be reported.
This incident attracted the high attention of Qu Yixiong and Du Zongcheng.
"Xiao Yong, this kind of thing is not a joke. Are you sure there is no nonsense?" Du Zongcheng looked very serious.
Du Yong spread his hands: "Uncle, how dare Xiao Yong lie? If you don't believe me, ask Yang Jin, he will never dare to lie to you, right?"
Yang Jin quickly said, "Mr. Marquis, the young master is really not a fool. The Soul Destroyer Sect is indeed connected with the Holy Dan Sect. The Holy Dan Sect is responsible for creating zombies and raising crocodiles, while the Soul Destroyer Sect cooperates with all its strength. The Soul Destroyer Sect sect team entered Youmang Mountain to find a plant called Devil Flower. It is said that after special treatment, it can be used as a medicine to control people's minds. They believe that the Marquis should have heard of the Soul Destroyer Sect's methods, right?"
Du Zongcheng looked solemn and nodded slowly: "Control people's minds is indeed the unique skill of the Soul Destroying Sect."
Yang Jin continued: "I heard from the hustleman that the Dali Temple Supervisors who were arrested in the Shengdan Gate in Chuanning County will be fed medicine and turned into zombies."
When Qu Yixiong heard this, his face changed drastically: "Do you know where they are locked up?"
Yang Jin shook his head: "We forced him to ask about the living, but he has a low status and doesn't know. However, he guessed that he should still be in the towns near Zhuangyu Lake."
Du Zongcheng asked, "Why don't you bring that living back?"
Du Yong smiled bitterly: "The terrain in the mountains is too complicated, and he took a chance to run away."
Qu Yixiong sighed: "I didn't expect that the Eight Evil Sects have been silent for hundreds of years, and the Holy Pill Sect and the Soul Destroying Sect, as the backbone, would return to the world in this way."
Du Yong was interested in knowing more about things, so he asked for advice: "Uncle, Lord Qu, do you two know about the eight evil branches? In addition to the Holy Dan Sect and the Soul-Destroying Sect, I have also heard of the Lihua Sect before."
"Do you know the Pear Blossom School, too?"
Qu Yixiong looked at Du Yong with praise, shook his head and said, "I only know these three pieces. I still heard from my father. He didn't know the other five pieces very well."
Du Zongcheng agreed: "There are few related ancient books, only these three branches are recorded, and they are not very clear. The legends in the world are just a few words and are difficult to describe in detail."
Du Yong said oh, and at this time he became more interested in the Eight Evil Sects, so he must know more if he has the chance.
Du Zongcheng instructed: "Yixiong, the matter of the Soul Destroying Sect is not a trivial matter. People must be sent to inform General Nie to prevent a big loss."
Qu Yixiong nodded and responded: "Mr. Marquis, please rest assured. Dali Temple will follow up on this matter and will do its best to rescue the supervisors."
It was already half an afternoon when Du Yong returned home.
Doctor Liu had already processed the two large Ganoderma lucidums and left a decoction method. Lingling yelled to help Du Yong decoction the medicine. Du Yong said there was no hurry and asked her to copy the decoction method, and then took a Ganoderma lucidum and a copy to the mansion of Zhao San.
Master Zhao San was very happy and kept Du Yong for tea and chat.
It was evening when Du Yong asked for goodbye.
I was not in a hurry to go home, but walked casually on the street and blew the cool breeze.
"Old Du!"
Zhao Dezhu's loud voice suddenly rang out.
Du Yong turned around and saw that Zhao Dezhu had just returned from the dead and just happened to run into it.
Zhao Dezhu walked over quickly, and was afraid to pat Du Yong on the shoulder: "You kid, don't tell me when you come back."
"Didn't you come back yesterday? I went to my uncle's house this morning and came back in the middle of the afternoon. I'm about to go find you." Du Yong roughly explained.
Zhao Dezhu expressed his understanding and smiled: "Go to drink!"
He ignored Du Yongtong and did not agree, and led the way to the restaurant on the street.
Du Yong had to keep up.
After ordering a table of good wine and dishes, Zhao Dezhu first fed a pot of water and then chewed it at his desk, as if a starving ghost was reincarnated.
Du Yong was speechless: "What have you done? Are you so hungry?"
Zhao Dezhu's mouth was full of food and said vaguely: "I have been running all over the city these days and have caught many suspects in the missing case, but unfortunately they are all small fish."
Du Yong asked: "How did these suspects be caught... I mean, what standards did you catch them?"
Zhao Dezhu swallowed the food, picked up the teapot and rinsed it, and breathed out with satisfaction, and replied: "It's all kinds of small clues collected before, some got it from interrogating Ruan Peng, and some heard it from the neighbors."
"Did Ruan Peng confess?"
