The men in black dispersed just as quickly as they came, disappearing almost in the blink of an eye.
Perhaps the detective from the Divine Catching Division was worried that Xu Zhen and the others had made a mistake, so he did not rush to catch up. Instead, he pointed to the eaves and said, "There is someone there who was stabbed by me. Maybe he is still alive!"
Xu Zhen understood that the man in black should have tried to assassinate him on the eaves before, but was discovered by the agent who had been spying on him, which led to a big war.
After the detective finished speaking, he was about to fly up to the room to check, but suddenly he heard a woman's voice next to his ear:
"No need, I've been dragged away by those people!"
ah?
The voice came very suddenly, and everyone turned around to look, only to realize that the person coming was actually Dongfang Meiyan from the Divine Catcher Division!
"Eastern God Capture?" Xu Zhen was surprised, "Why are you here?"
As a result, Dongfang Meiyan ignored Xu Zhen's question, but frowned and said, "They must have known that I was coming, so they retreated early! It's a pity that none of them were caught."
The male detective didn't seem to believe it, so he jumped up to the house and took a look at the eaves. Sure enough, he saw that the injured person was gone.
"Xu Zhen, this is Jing Liang, the agent of our God's Police Department," Dongfang Meiyan pointed at the male agent and said, "I sent him specially to protect you."
"Thank you!" Xu Zhen quickly clasped his fists and thanked him. Although he knew that others were spying on him, he saved his life after all.
"Boss," Jing Liang had returned at this time, cupping his fists at Dongfang Meiyan and said, "This group of people has a very strange background. None of them are orthodox martial arts, and their moves and routines are different. They look like... miscellaneous soldiers."
"I originally wanted to go to the inn to discuss things with you," Dongfang Meiyan said, "but I didn't expect to meet you here. Are you in such a hurry to go to the Demon Mansion?"
"What? Demon Tower?" Shen Yu asked while bandaging the wound, "Where is the Demon Tower?"
Xu Zhen quickly explained: "We are going to the government office. Lord Sima is worried about our safety and sent us to stay in the government office temporarily."
As he said that, everyone looked at the two injured people on the ground, but saw that they were already unconscious.
Jing Liang hurriedly knelt down to check and said, "It's just fainting, not fatal."
"It's so strange." Dongfang Meiyan first looked at Shen Yu and Qin Yin, then pulled Xu Zhen aside and asked in a low voice, "What do these people in black want to do?"
"If my guess is correct," Xu Zhen said, "They are just here to take my life and want to kill me!"
"Kill you?" Dongfang Meiyan was even more puzzled, "What's the use of killing you?"
"Yes," Xu Zhen shrugged, "I'm confused too!"
Whether he was looking for the rusty knife or Fang Wubing, killing Xu Zhen would be of no use.
"Could it be that..." Dongfang Meiyan said, "You already know the truth? They killed you because they were afraid that you would find out about them?"
"But..." Xu Zhen shrugged again, "What did I find out? I'm still confused now!"
"Yes, then why?" Dongfang Meiyan became more and more curious.
"Maybe..." Xu Zhen thought for a few seconds and said, "There is only one possibility!"
"What?"
"Seeking revenge," Xu Zhen said, "After I came to Daguan City, I only did two things that might lead to revenge."
"Which two?"
"One is to find out the truth about Fang Wubing's escape from prison and catch the jailers and spies! And the other..." Xu Zhen lowered his voice, "I slept with the oiran of the Demon House and aroused jealousy!"
"..." Dongfang Meiyan glanced at Xu Zhen angrily, "If this is the case, then it seems that the former is more likely.
"The ones seeking revenge are Lao Li's accomplices. They killed you because you exposed their plot. But..."
"Oh," Xu Zhen also frowned, "If this is true, it means they can already guess that Fang Wubing is in our hands, and... and..."
"The news has come out," Dongfang Meiyan said, "it means that there is a traitor in the county prison who can pass on the information.
"After the total blockade, Sima Xin's people took full control. Except for a few of us, no one else can enter or leave the prison at will. Could it be that... the traitor is among us?
"Damn it, if I had known this, I should have followed you every step of the way. If I could have caught him alive just now, I might have been able to find the source of Lao Li and others, and also know who the traitor is!"
"Tsk..." Xu Zhen smacked his lips, feeling that the case was getting more complicated.
"Although it's unlikely, if it's the latter you guessed..." Dongfang Meiyan thought for a while and then said, "Then the people in Yaolou will have a big problem, so the people in Yaolou can't relax either."
"Then..." Xu Zhen asked, "What's going on over there at Demon Tower? Lianji..."
"This is not the place to talk," Dongfang Meiyan looked around and said to Xu Zhen, "Since Sima Xin has arranged for you to stay in the government office, let's go to the government office now. I happen to have something to discuss with you."
…
Two quarters of an hour later, Xu Zhen and others had made arrangements in the government office.
Two of Sima Xin's bodyguards were sent to the hospital for treatment, and their lives were not in danger.
Shen Yu's injury was not serious. After taking care of it for a while, he and Qin Yin went to their residence to rest.
After getting along for a long time, Shen Yu and Qin Yin both understood Xu Zhen's style of doing things, and knew that Xu Zhen did not tell them the truth just for their own sake, so there was no need to ask.
The only thing they have to do is follow Xu Zhen's arrangements.
After several thrilling experiences, Qin Yin is no longer as worried and scared as before. Not only does she let things go, but she also gets along very well with Shen Yu.
At this moment, Dongfang Meiyan took Xu Zhen to Sima Xin's study and closed the door.
The goddess still wears tight clothes and a red cloak, but the flowers on her head are missing, and her black hair hangs down like a waterfall, showing her feminine charm.
it's wired……
Xu Zhen wondered in her mind, with such a body-hugging tights, where did the pebbles she used to hit people come from?
"Xu Zhen," Dongfang Meiyan obviously had no intention of flirting, and said with unusual solemnity, "I have checked and found that Qin Lin is indeed your uncle, and I am also aware of everything you did in Yanping County. "
"Yes," Xu Zhen quickly agreed, "I told you a long time ago that I did so much just to save my uncle."
"Well," Dongfang Meiyan said, "There is no need for you to doubt me. The Divine Catcher works for the Holy Lord and never divides into factions. He only seeks the truth.
"If Fang Wubing is really the late emperor's secret agent, then we, the Chief Inspector, have the obligation to report to the Holy Emperor and clear his name.
"But, there is a premise..."
Xu Zhen nodded, naturally knowing that the premise must be to find out all the truth and have solid evidence.
"The Oriental God," Xu Zhen said, "since our identities have been revealed and our goals are the same, can you also tell me about the situation of this case?"
The reason why Xu Zhen said this was naturally because he thought that the Chief Inspector must know more about the inside story, so he sent Dongfang Meiyan to investigate the case.
"That's why I'm so anxious to find you." Dongfang Meiyan said, "Xu Zhen, I put pressure on Lianji in the Demon Tower and finally asked for the key information.
"Do you want to know what was in the container that Fang Wubing robbed?"
