Chapter 71, Investigating Cases

Sure enough, he had something to do with himself.

"What's wrong? Come and listen, I will help you if I can." Wu Heng said directly.

"My son is missing. He left the day before yesterday and never came back. He searched all the places he frequented. Some other children said they saw a man with a beard and a red mark behind his ear who took him away. Already." The woman said quickly, her words a little confused due to her anxiety.

But I still understood the content.

Someone kidnapped a child.

Because of the professional team, Wu Heng is no longer as cautious as he was at the beginning, but this does not mean that the security of the crowded area has improved.

The crowded areas are still chaotic, with fights, robberies and thefts occurring from time to time.

But now that he has some strength, these things rarely happen to him.

There are all professionals and there is no perfect security, so this place is still in chaos.

"Where's the patrol?"

"Today, the patrol guard came to me and said that the man was found. He was the man wanted by the city hall. He was killed during the arrest, and there was no news about the child."

"How do you want me to help you?" Wu Heng continued to ask.

The woman carefully took out a money bag, put it on the table and pushed it over, and said: "Can you help me find out the news? See if I can find my son. If he can't find it, I don't care if he is dead or alive."

Wu Heng glanced at the money bag placed on the table, pushed it back, and said, "I can help you ask, but I can't guarantee the outcome. You put the money away first and wait until there is news."

"Thank you so much." The woman stood up and bowed again.

Wu Heng nodded and said: "You should go back first. I will inform Mr. Rudeger if there is any news, and let him inform you then."

"Okay." The woman kept thanking her and exited the room with the landlord.

Wu Heng thought for a while, packed up his things, and walked out with Bassen.

To be honest, he really doesn't want to get involved in this kind of thing. After all, this kind of thing can easily cause trouble and danger to himself.

But some things are happening before our eyes, and we can’t bear to do nothing.

At least I should see what I can do about this.

……

In the central area, next to the flower bed in front of the association.

Yuri carried a small leather bag and ran over quickly.

She frowned and looked at him and said, "Do you have a problem with me?"

"I brought you something to eat." Wu Heng took out some snacks and handed them to her.

Yuli looked happy at first, and then looked at him warily, "What are you doing? If you don't tell me clearly, I won't accept it."

As he spoke, he licked his lips.

Wu Heng looked around, and then whispered: "Something really happened, I need a partner."

"What do you mean by partner!"

"Let me tell you, today my landlord, the same one who said you kicked in the door last time, brought someone to me and asked me to help investigate something..."

Wu Heng explained the matter roughly, and then continued: "You also know that I am good at using force, but investigating cases is not my strong point. When I think about the people around me, I feel that you are qualified for this matter. .”

Yuri took the potato chips and asked while eating them: "What on earth do you mean?"

"Let's investigate together."

"Okay, how to investigate." Yuli agreed happily.

Wu Heng stooped closer and said, "Is there a way to enter the Guard's morgue?"

"What are you doing in the morgue?"

"Of course there is something important, just tell me if there is anything you can do!"

"Hit them in? I'll turn into a bear and rush in. You follow behind and knock them all out." Yuri said directly.

Wu Heng's head was covered with black lines.

If this was the method, it would be great if I could just rush in with my face covered.

"Is there any other way that won't cause us trouble later?" Wu Heng said, taking out another box of yogurt, opening it, inserting a straw, and stuffing it into her mouth, "Take a sip to replenish your brain. "

"Hmm..." Yuri took a sip, then put her head aside and said, "How about I go to my aunt and steal a joint investigation order?"

"Hey~! What a good idea, you are indeed smarter." Wu Heng said immediately.

"Okay, then you wait for me for a while." Yuli turned and ran away.

Not long after, Yuri ran back again.

He patted his backpack and motioned for him to leave quickly.

Wu Heng nodded, and the two of them left quickly side by side.

……

Guard, morgue.

Yuri stood in front, holding a document in her hand, and said: "The seal stamped by the association, we need to check the body inside."

The two guards guarding the door glanced at the two of them and the strange man wearing a round helmet behind them.

One of them said: "What investigation? Why didn't we receive any news?"

"Tiao Tiao, what is the investigation? I need to tell you. If you can arrest people, you can still investigate." Yuli said immediately.

The guard didn't expect that the little girl had such a bad temper.

He looked at the document again and said, "Okay, let's go in."

Anyway, it’s just a few corpses, so there’s no need to worry about someone stealing them.

Yuli puffed out her chest and strode inside, while Wu Heng and Basen followed behind.

Entering the cold corridor and walking a short distance inside.

Only then did they arrive at the location where the bodies were stored.

In the sealed space made of bluestone bricks, there were several iron beds, with bodies covered with linen lying on them.

"Which one is it?" Yuri asked.

"Big beard, there is a red mark behind the ear." "Oh!"

The two of them had a skeleton and began to look at each one one by one.

"Here, come quickly!"

Wu Heng walked over quickly and saw the body lying on the wooden bed.

Big beard and a mark behind his ear.

"is it him?"

"It should be him."

"How are you going to investigate? Do you want an autopsy?"

"I have a way. You stand behind me first." Wu Heng said.

Yuri stood behind him.

Wu Heng immediately released [Conversation with the Dead], and the necromantic magic wrapped the body in front of him.

The next second, the pale corpse suddenly opened its eyes and sat up in a daze.

Yuri was startled and hugged his arm.

Wu Heng looked at the corpse and asked directly: "Where did the child you stole go?"

The corpse turned to look this way and said, "I sold them to a human trafficker for 100 silver coins each."

"Who is the trafficker?"

"I don't know. He always covers his face when we meet. I only collect money and don't care about that."

"How do you all get in touch?"

The corpse replied, "Every time I catch someone, I will sit in the tavern for a while, and he will ask someone to send me the meeting place."

"Which tavern?"

"Blushing mermaid."

One last question.

Wu Heng thought for a moment and continued to ask: "What are his characteristics, or how do you know that the person coming is the person who is trading with you."

"He spoke with a southern accent and smelled like smoke."

After saying that, he lay down on the iron frame with a bang.

Motionless, without any sign of life.

The corpse was more shriveled than before.

But nothing else happened.

"What's wrong with him?" Yuri asked, pointing.

Wu Heng said: "A kind of necromancy that can make the dead answer questions."

"You still do this?"

"Well! Let's go out first."

When they walked out of the morgue, the guard stopped them again.

"and many more!"

"What are you doing!" Yuri pinched her waist and looked up at him.

The guard glanced at his companions and said, "You look at them first, and I'll go inside and take a look."

After saying that, he turned around and walked away.

He walked out quickly and said, "Okay, no problem, you can go."

"Hmph!" Yuri snorted, and the two of them walked away.

After walking far away, Yuri asked again: "How to check next?"

Wu Heng thought for a while and said: "It's not that there is no gain at all. The other party has an accent from the southern region and has a smoky smell."

"Ah, what next? How to find this person?"

"You go and test with the subdeacon to see if you know this person. I'll go to the tavern to check. We'll split up and then meet at my house for dinner."

"it is good!"

The two separated in the central area and arranged things according to the plan.

……

Blushing Mermaid Tavern.

At this time, there were no customers in the tavern. It was deserted and the bartender was still cleaning.

Only after dusk will the place gradually become lively.

Wu Heng pushed the door open and found a corner seat to sit down.

The woman holding the tray came over. When she saw his appearance, she turned around and wanted to leave.

It was the waiter I had seen, Penny.

Wu Heng said directly: "Two glasses of fog cocktails."

He took out two silver coins and handed them to the other party.

The woman's face looked a little suspicious, but she hesitated and took it in her hand, then turned around to prepare the wine.

Soon, the woman came over with a drink.

"Guest, the cocktail you ordered."

Wu Heng nodded, and when he saw the other party leaving, he immediately said: "Wait a minute, say a few words to me."

"Guest, I still have work to do."

"Have a drink. You don't want us to remain in a stalemate here and attract other people's attention, do you?"
