Chapter 34 In the Name of Academy

Chapter 34 In the Name of Academy

Detective is not a modern phenomenon

Modern criminal investigation technology is a dimensionality reduction attack on ancient times, but there is no particularly exaggerated difference in the way of investigating cases.

What Zhao Yushu could think of might not be thought of by a group of guards who only had muscles but no brains, but that did not mean that the detectives of Dongdu Prefecture could not think of it.

Fortunately, the detective in Dongdu Prefecture was also a shrewd man. Although he accepted the deposit from Boss Shen out of selfish motives, he soon sensed something fishy and did not dare to use too many resources of Dongdu Prefecture directly. He focused more of his power in Dongdu City and only sent a few detectives to investigate outside the city.

So it took a whole day to find the clue.

So he just sat down in the village to rest his feet and get some food and wine, when he saw a young man in black clothes and a white horse slowly coming over and asking his father-in-law for some food.

In ancient times, no government official would pay for meals in the village. It was good enough that they would not ask you to order more and just take the food away. This has nothing to do with morality. It is purely a cancer brought about by the class differences in the evil feudal society.

So when Zhao Yushu smiled and said "I am rich", the constables who were sitting in the courtyard eating standard farmhouse meals felt a little uncomfortable.

Did you come here on purpose to mock us?

So the four constables wiped their mouths, stood up, and walked to the front of the horses: "Get down!"

"Check your ID?"

Old Zhao spoke new words every time he spoke. The detectives understood every word, but they just couldn't remember what an ID card was. Was it something new issued by the imperial court?

"Whatever your certificate is, come down!"

Old Zhao shrugged and dismounted: "What's the matter?"

"What are you doing here?"

"Outing"

"Why are you coming here for an outing? There is no scenery or anything else here. Why are you coming here for an outing?" an older constable spat.

"If I don't go for an outing, I can't be here to investigate a case."

With a swish, the four detectives drew their swords and pointed them directly at Zhao Yushu. The old man next to him was so scared that he ran into the house and squatted down.

"Who are you!"

Zhao Yushu sneered and reached out to take out a wooden sign from his waist: "Who dares to stop me when the academy is doing business?" Humph, Meng Yan, you said that the academy will not recognize any of my actions outside, but whether you admit it or not is your business. I would be stupid if I didn't use my identity as an academy.

I'm doing things for you. If I do it well, you get the benefits. If I fail, you have to take the blame. Do you really think I, Old Zhao, am easy to bully?

The academy was indeed famous enough that the four detectives were startled and quickly lowered their knives: "I didn't know you were a teacher from the academy. I'm sorry for offending you. Please forgive me."

Zhao Yushu put his hands behind his back and looked up at the sky, looking like someone was behind him: "What are you doing here?"

The four detectives looked at each other, and finally the detective who first questioned Zhao Yushu stood up and said, "I am here to investigate the case on the orders of the Lord Shenbo."

Zhao Yushu's heart shuddered. Who could this super detective be? But since he dared to use this name, he must be a big shot. It turned out that not only he was investigating this case, but even the so-called super detective was alarmed?

Old Zhao remained calm on the surface: "Where is the Master Detective now? Is he here?"

"He's not here. The Master of the Divine Detective is in charge of the Eastern Capital. The four of us have been ordered to investigate outside the city."

"Just the four of you?"

"exactly"

Zhao Yushu understood. It was very likely that the detective was investigating the same case as himself. Otherwise, there would be no reason to bother the detective and the academy. It just so happened that both sides found this nameless village. The detective's current work focus was in Dongdu. It was more likely that these detectives were just stumbling upon the case by mistake or they really had some skills.

Lao Zhao decided to pretend to be very advanced and try to get as much information as possible. After all, these four were mortals, and monks had a natural suppression effect on mortals.

So Lao Zhao raised his hand nonchalantly, and a light flashed on his hand.

Sure enough, the four detectives were all a little panicked and took a step back.

"What did you find out?" Old Zhao felt that he was leaning sideways and deliberately lowering his voice to ask, which was very much like the style of the eunuch of the Western Factory.

"This, this is confidential."

Hey, you want to tell me secrets?

"I'm already here, and you still say it's a secret? How do you think I know this?" I came here by myself, but I just want you to make wild guesses

The constable became even more panicked: "Are you, the master constable..."

Zhao Yushu suddenly glared: "Shut up, is this something you can say?"

The constable quickly covered his mouth and looked around. He found that there was indeed no one in the yard. The old man had already run into the house and was trembling. He was relieved.

So the constable lowered his voice and said, "Sir, we just happened to find this place. It was all thanks to this newcomer who found some traces of young plants being bent and tracked them all the way here. But to be honest, the master constable only asked us to investigate suspicious people. What exactly are the characteristics of this suspicious person? Please tell me, sir."

Zhao Yushu followed the hand of the older constable and looked at one of the younger constables. He thought that this guy was a talent and maybe he could be borrowed to do some work. However, this matter was a bit complicated. The detective asked his subordinates to do the work and didn't even dare to say who to ask.

Although I don't know, the kidnapped boy must have a close relationship with Huibao Merchants.

Old Zhao wondered if he should just send them away and then follow this clue himself. But then he thought that if the kidnapped boy was really of high status, then the kidnapper must be very skilled. He, a mere First Heaven Heaven cultivator, probably didn't even have the qualifications to help him.

And I can't hide it. He is a member of the Shenbu, and he must have something to report to the Shenbu. Besides, the eldest brother meant to rescue the person, but he didn't say that I must rescue him myself.

Zhao Yushu pondered for a moment and pointed at the young detective: "You stay here with me and continue investigating. The three of you go back and report to the detective that you have found a clue."

If I let all four of them go, the detectives would definitely get suspicious. If I didn't allow any of them to go, they would probably draw their swords and fight me on the spot.

After Zhao Yushu said this, there was really nothing wrong with it.

So the older detective bowed and pulled the younger detective over: "You follow the teacher from the academy to investigate carefully, and I will go back to get help!"

The three detectives did not dare to delay and turned around and left.

Zhao Yushu walked to the dining table and sat down, taking out a piece of silver: "Father, please bring me another set of bowls and chopsticks. This constable brother is not full yet. Come, let's continue."

The whole city of Dongdu was peaceful and looked no different from usual. However, since yesterday, the whole underground world has been surging with undercurrents.

Almost every moment, information from various people in various markets converges on a few points, one of which is Tianxianglou.

Yun Gu has been resting for two days due to illness. Not only ordinary guests, but also the wealthy princes and nobles in Dongdu have not been able to see her.

In Yun Gu's simple little room, a young man with a smile on his face was sitting on a small stool, looking around with curiosity.

A glass of wine was poured and Yun Gu handed it to him with her delicate hands: "It is a great honor for my humble daughter to have the Fourth Master of the Academy come in person."

The person who came was Meng Yan

"I didn't expect Yun Gu's elegant residence to be so simple," Meng Yan turned around and sighed.

"I'm sorry to have made you laugh, Mr. Four."

"No, I am the first one among my fellow apprentices who has the honor of entering Yun Gu's room. I will definitely brag about it when I return."

Yun Gu smiled slightly: "Maybe not."

Meng Yan was stunned: "Big Brother, do you really dare to come? Isn't he afraid that Uncle Master will demolish him?"

Yun Gu couldn't help but raised her sleeves to cover her mouth and laughed: "The elder master really didn't dare to come, but the younger master did come a long time ago."

Meng Yan opened his mouth wide, and it took him a while to come back to his senses: "Incredible, incredible"

"Mr. Si came today, what advice do you have for me?"

"Of course it's for the one at home, young sir."
