Chapter 877: Chapter 229: What, Chen 94, You Really Know How to Solve Cases (10,000 Words Seeking Subscription)_4

Magistrate Chu Tian of Huangzhou Prefecture.

Chen Jie fell into contemplation, but didn’t say much.

At this moment, Wang Baobao looked at Chen Jie and said: ”What are you looking at?”

Chen Jie turned back, only to see Magistrate Chu Tian of Huangzhou Prefecture also looking at him. Chen Jie smiled and said: ”Oh, nothing, just letting my mind wander.”

”However, Lord Darugachi, we’ve already investigated the origin of the Mei Hua Killer, Undying Holy Fire, and Eternal Plum Blossoms. I don’t know what these Plum Blossoms are, but Undying Holy Fire, does Lord Darugachi have any thoughts?”

Wang Baobao squinted his eyes and said: ”Zoroastrian Sect!”

Chen Jie said: ”Exactly, I’m afraid this Mei Hua Killer is just a demon person from the Zoroastrian Sect pretending to be someone else.”

”Furthermore, the demon people of the Zoroastrian Sect in Huangzhou Prefecture are not few; he might just be an insignificant underling among them.”

Upon hearing this, Wang Baobao said: ”Good, good, Chen Jiusi, you really have something.”

Wang Baobao looked at Chen Jie for the first time, unexpectedly realizing that he merely investigated the scene and uncovered so much, and could easily catch a demon person hiding in the Darugachi Mansion.

The others looked at Chen Jie with eyes full of astonishment, this Chen Jiusi indeed has something!

Just now, they held a skeptical attitude towards Chen Jie, but now, seeing his initial display of talent, they began to recognize him a bit.

At this moment, Magistrate Chu Tian of Huangzhou Prefecture said: ”Haha, Hundred Households Chen surely is a young hero, able to find the demon person of the Zoroastrian Sect hidden in Darugachi Mansion with such few words, I am impressed, truly impressed.”

From the other side, Wulu Tai also said: ”Haha, the Commandery Princess indeed chose the right person, this Chen Jiusi, has some means, and is somewhat of an expert in the law of names.”

Impressive, impressive.

Those who had disdain towards Chen Jie now changed their attitude, realizing this fellow seems to have some means, not just a useless softy.

But that’s all there is.

Chen Jie didn’t say much, just smiled.

At this moment, Chen Jie said: ”Lord Darugachi, does this prefecture have a coroner?”

Upon hearing this, Wang Baobao said: ”Yes, summon the coroner.”

The group immediately summoned the coroner, and Chen Jie checked the scene again, soon the coroner arrived.

”Greetings, Lords.”

Wang Baobao said: ”Coroner, enough pleasantries, quickly conduct the autopsy.”

”Yes.”

The coroner immediately obliged, followed closely to the corpse, and a nearby apprentice opened the record book, beginning to take notes.

[Autopsy: Male corpse]

[No wounds found on limbs and body of the deceased.]

[Wound at left throat, died from throat-cutting by a sharp weapon...]

The autopsy report quickly came out, Chen Jie stood by watching, unperturbed, soon the autopsy concluded.

The coroner submitted the autopsy report, everyone looked at Chen Jie, wanting to see his reaction.

Chen Jie said: ”No other issues visible on the body.”

Zhao Ya said: ”Hmm, let’s temporarily store the body in Darugachi Mansion, Brother San, the banquet ends here today, we will investigate slowly.”

Wang Baobao reacted and said: ”Alright.”

With that, Wang Baobao dismissed the group, soon only Chen Jie, Zhao Ya, Ah Da, and others remained.

Zhao Ya looked at Chen Jie and said: ”Jiusi, did you see something?”

Chen Jie said: ”Commandery Princess, the waters in Huangzhou Prefecture are very deep, if we want to investigate, it will likely turn everything upside down.”

Zhao Ya said: ”Jiusi.”

Chen Jie looked at Zhao Ya.

Zhao Ya said: ”Do you know why I insisted on letting you investigate this case?”

Chen Jie was taken aback, not understanding the meaning behind Zhao Ya’s words.

Zhao Ya said: ”Jiusi, although I am a Commandery Princess of the Ruyang Royal Mansion, if I want to be the Jianghu Chief, I must have some true skills, otherwise, I would only become a puppet.”

”Since the establishment of this position, in all the provincial mansions, it has been a mere formality, seemingly able to manage Jianghu affairs, but actually managing very little, no one takes this Jianghu Chief seriously.”

”Were it not for my title as Commandery Princess of the Ruyang Royal Mansion, the magistrates and assistant magistrates would not speak to us so courteously, so if they don’t respect us, we can only make them respect us through strength, we need to let them know that our Jianghu Chief has the capability.”

”Hence, this case is our opportunity, we must solve it to establish authority.”

”So Jiusi, I let you take this case firstly to establish your prestige, if they doubt your ability, we will show them.”

”Additionally, it is to help me, as the Jianghu Chief, stand firm, otherwise, even if they outwardly respect me as a Commandery Princess, behind the scenes they won’t respect me.”

Upon hearing this, Ah San said: ”Indeed, Jiusi, look at that assistant magistrate, before Master He stepped in, every word he said showed disrespect to the Commandery Princess. If not for Master He stepping in, we would have been bullied by him.”

Jie Wenyan looked at Zhao Ya and said: ”Commandery Princess, I understand your words, but this case is not simple!”

Zhao Ya said: ”What did you discover?”

Chen Jie said: ”To be able to plant a spy in the Darugachi Mansion, just this one point is not something ordinary people can achieve.”

”Furthermore, this concerns the Zoroastrian Sect, their forces are entwined and intricate, I fear they have already infiltrated the upper levels of Huangzhou Prefecture.”

Zhao Ya was stunned and looked at Chen Jie and said: ”The upper levels of Huangzhou Prefecture, do you think someone has been infiltrated, Wulu Tai?”

Zhao Ya always felt Wulu Tai was against her, Chen Jie said: ”I only have a feeling now, without any evidence, so Commandery Princess, we cannot wrongly accuse others, these upper levels have people behind them, if we don’t obtain critical evidence, it’s impossible to move them.”
