Chapter 406 Tough guy
Yang He’s thoughts were simple. He believed that although the whole matter was confusing, the core involved two people: Zhao Yushu and Zhu Huo.
Needless to say, Zhao Yushu was a big suspect, but it was truly remarkable that Yang He could guess Zhu Huo. He determined in a very short time that there might be something wrong with Zhu Xian.
"I'm talking to Captain Yang..."
As soon as Zhao Yushu opened his mouth, Yang He interrupted him immediately: "Mr. Liu, you don't have to be polite. I heard that you are not yet twenty years old. If you don't mind, just call me Brother Yang."
I mind. I was already in my twenties before I traveled through time. Thank you.
"Brother Yang, you can just call me Lao Zhao. You don't have to always call me Mr. Six."
"Okay, Lao Zhao."
You are so rude.
"Captain Yang," Zhu Huo felt a little uncomfortable standing with the two big guys, but there was nothing he could do, he was just a mortal and there was a natural asymmetry in their levels.
"Brother Zhu, what advice do you have?"
"The food store in front is what I mentioned. Uh, of course we have to eat first. But, Captain Yang, how do you plan to catch that man in black? Although I don't have any skills, I am in charge of Yuezhou's detective affairs. I have been busy with this these days, and it has been quite effective..."
The three of them sat down at the food store and ordered breakfast. Yang He looked at the somewhat nervous Zhu Huo and said, "Brother Zhu, don't be nervous. Brother Zhu's ability to do things is highly praised by the leader, not to mention me. Brother Zhu is still young and may become smart in the future. However, I didn't call you here this time for a detective purpose."
When Zhu Huo heard that even the leader had praised him, his expression was obviously much more relaxed: "But I only know how to detect..."
Yang He laughed: "Brother Zhu, you said you met the man in black robe the night before last."
"Yes, it was on Zheshan Street. I and a few colleagues had been patrolling for a day and were having a late-night snack and taking a break on Zheshan Street when we saw him swaggering past."
"Swaggering? Oh, that's interesting. Keep going."
“Then we chased after him.”
Yang He suddenly interrupted: "Do you have any monks under you?"
"Uh, no, we're all mortal."
"Is the other party a monk?"
“Well, the spiritual power fluctuations are very strong, but I’m not a cultivator, so I can’t tell which level it is.”
Yang He leaned back slightly and said, "Compared with Master Zhu?"
Zhu Huo seemed to sense something was wrong, but he still tried to recall: "It should be about the same. It seems to be thicker. I, I can't really tell..."
"Oh, Brother Zhu is really courageous. Facing a great cultivator who is as powerful as your father, you actually chased him. To be frank, if I were that cultivator, Master Zhu would have to send his son off before him. Brother Zhu, don't be impulsive in the future if you are not sure about anything."
Zhao Yushu looked at Zhu Huo, who was sweating profusely early in the morning, and sincerely said sorry in his heart. It was obvious that Yang He thought that Zhu Huo knew the identity of the man in black robe, which was why he happened to go to Zheshan Street for supper and chased him so unscrupulously.
But this was really a coincidence, and Zhu Huo simply hadn't slept for too long and his brain couldn't react...
"Eat it, Brother Zhu. This noodle tastes great. It's delicious even without the soup."
Zhu Huo hurriedly took a few mouthfuls and forced himself to swallow them without even chewing them.
"By the way, Brother Zhu, that person said something to you, right?"
Yang He took a sip of rice wine. Well, it was really a pleasure to drink warm rice wine early in the morning.
Zhu Huo immediately put down his chopsticks, his face bitter: "He said, he said..."
"say what?"
Zhu Huo couldn't and didn't dare to lie. He was not the one present that night, and Yang He had obviously found out everything before calling him over.
"He said, didn't my parents tell me who he was?"
"Ah, it seems that he thinks you should know him, Zhu Huo, did your parents tell you who he is?"
Yang He stretched his head forward and stared into Zhu Huo's eyes. If this was the government office or the Honglian branch, Zhu Huo would have probably knelt down.
"Captain Yang!" Zhu Huo gritted his teeth and raised his head abruptly. "My father worked diligently all his life. For the Red Lotus Sect, he even gave up his job as an official in the imperial court of Li Tang. When the Red Lotus Sect was at its weakest, he resolutely raised the banner of rebellion to respond to the leader. That's why he is the guardian of Yuezhou today. Captain Yang, to be honest, without my father, would the Red Lotus Sect be what it is today?"
Damn, brother, how can you be so brave?!
Zhao Yushu was stunned, and looked at Zhu Huo with eyes full of surprise and admiration.
"I am incompetent and not as good as you high-ranking monks, but I have been loyal to my duties for the past few years in order to catch criminals and thieves. I have only slept for two hours a day these days. If I am related to the black robe, why should I cause trouble for myself? Or is it true that Captain Yang came to investigate the black robe and really came to take my father's position!?"
Yang He's eyes were cold: "Zhu Huo, do you know what you are talking about?"
A spiritual force rushed towards him and was about to hit Zhu Huo. Zhu Huo was just an ordinary person, and even if he had a healthy body, the worst that would happen if he was hit like this was that he would have some broken bones.
Then a hand stretched out in front of Zhu Huo, and the palm trembled slightly, like a ripple on the water, dissolving Yang He's spiritual power.
"Mr. Liu, this is the family affair of our Red Lotus Cult."
Yang He tilted his head slightly and looked at Zhao Yushu's palm, a hint of disappointment flashed in his eyes.
Zhao Yushu shook his hands. Yang He was indeed a man of deep thoughts. On the surface, he was targeting Zhu Huo, but in fact, he was still thinking of testing himself secretly.
If he didn't take action, he would teach Zhu Huo a lesson. If he took action, he would know his own moves and see if he could match the thief saint from last night. In any case, he would win.
But he could not have imagined that Zhao Yushu had used sword energy to fight him the whole time last night, and used chess swordsmanship to cover up the Shushan swordsmanship, and today he only used the power of the lake god once, making it impossible for him to fight against the two of them.
"Captain Yang, I met a man who was a master of the field when I was in Dongdu. I forgot to ask his name, but I only know that he has a very famous nickname, the Divine Constable. Have you heard of him?"
Yang He didn't understand why Zhao Yushu suddenly said this, but he nodded and said, "Of course I have heard of the name of the detective."
"Have you ever been to his bloody prison?"
Yang He frowned and shook his head, while Zhu Huo, who was sweating profusely but still stiffened his neck, trembled slightly: "I heard that no one who went in could come out intact."
Zhao Yushu nodded. "Yes, even worse. I've seen several people being tortured to the point of wanting to live but not being able to die because of something they didn't even know they had done wrong. It made me hate that place so much that I even left Dongdu because of it."
Zhao Yushu paused and said, "There is another person you should know. The new emperor of Xijing, the former crown prince, was investigating the salt tax case in Jiangning. He was no match for a few local tyrants and turned against a mortal and tortured him. Captain Yang, tell me, are there all such people in the Red Lotus Sect?"
