Chapter 680 Helping Each Other (Fifth Watch)
Leng Shoushan showed an ugly expression, nodded slowly, and sighed: "Yes, after such a long delay, no matter how stupid the murderer is, he ran away without a trace. After all, the governor is still incompetent and missed the opportunity!"
Chu Li didn't answer.
Leng Shoushan can say this, but he can't say it himself. As the centurion of the Secret Guard Mansion, he is considered to be a high-ranking and powerful man. If he said this and spread it, it would have a great influence on the governor.
It's no wonder Fu Yin can break through such a precise assassination situation.
Leng Shoushi said: "Can't Chief Chu take over?"
Chu Li shook his head and said: "Second sons, Mei Yiyuan has already taken over this case. If we intervene, it will be a credit grab... In the Secret Guard Mansion, credit is everything. Blocking people's money is like killing their parents. To get money, martial arts, swords and swords, or even other rare treasures, and steal their merits, that is the enmity of life and death!"
"Ah..., five days have passed, and there is no progress in the Secret Guard Mansion. I'm afraid there is no hope." Leng Shoushan shook his head and drank another gulp: "My father's mood is getting worse and worse, I can't help it. gone."
"Director Chu, this won't be an unsolved case, right?" Leng Shoushi said in a deep voice.
Chu Li glanced at him, smiled wryly, shook his head and remained silent.
Leng Shoushan and Leng Shoushi understood at once, unfortunately, they were right.
"Is there no other way?" Leng Shoushan asked unwillingly.
Chu Lidao: "We can only look at the ability of the First Academy of Mei. They are the most elite people in the mansion. There may be hope, but the two princes should not hold out too much hope. Ten days..., the clues that can be found have already been found. , I couldn't find it, and I couldn't find it, so..."
He shook his head and stopped talking.
Leng Shoushan said resentfully: "Could it be that the murderer is allowed to be at ease, and my fifth brother died for nothing!"
Leng Shoushi said: "The government official is an idiot, and I think the name of the Miwei government does not match the reality!"
Chu Li smiled wryly and said: "Shi Shizi, manpower is sometimes poor, how can everything go smoothly in this world, everyone wants to catch up with the murderer, but the murderer is good at chess, just like martial arts. I can only blame bad luck."
"Director Chu, I think if you make a move, you will definitely find the murderer!" Leng Shoushi said: "So far, you have not handled a single case that has not been solved. Why didn't you take over this case?"
Chu Li said: "After all, I am a newcomer, and I am a junior in the Secret Guard Mansion, so I shouldn't be too showy, and Mei Yiyuan is indeed elite enough, and I may not be able to beat them, so I didn't grab it. Such credit is rare. "
The prince is very powerful and has won the trust of the emperor. If he can be appreciated by the prince, there will be countless benefits in the future. Like him is an example. What other people can't do, such as the redemption of Qingyunlou girl, may not be able to be done by Prince An , he will do.
"If the father speaks in person and assigns the case to your Mei Second Court, will it be possible?" Leng Shoushi asked.
Chu Li smiled bitterly and said: "Prince Yibao's face, since he has spoken, the Secret Guard will obey."
Leng Shoushan sighed: "I know, in this way, Chief Manager, you will still have an enmity with Mei Yiyuan."
Chu Li didn't speak, just picked up the white jade cup and drank it down.
"But I really have no other way!" Leng Shoushan said: "Seeing my father getting older day by day, I have no other ability to be a son, so I can only give up my face and beg the chief executive to take care of you!"
Leng Shoushi said: "Director Chu, if you can help, please help."
Chu Li smiled wryly and said, "Let's be honest with the two princes. As soon as this case came out, I decided not to touch it. When it was handed over to the Secret Guard Mansion, the Mei Second Court did not argue. It is really a danger that can be seen at a glance. .”
"Is Chief Chu still afraid?" Leng Shoushi said.
Chu Li shook his head: "I have enemies all over the place, I really don't want to provoke them anymore, otherwise it would be a great crime to implicate Prince An's Mansion."
Leng Shoushan frowned and said, "You said the one who assassinated my Fifth Brother would be someone powerful?"
Chu Li said: "This is a pure intuition, it's hard to explain clearly."
The two nodded.
Chu Li said: "Shi Shizi, I owe Prince Bao two favors, and I have been looking for a chance to repay them, but this time, it is really not a chance to repay the favors. If one is not good, I may even lose my life, so how dare I mess around. "
"Is it so dangerous?" Leng Shoushan said.
Chu Li said slowly: "Otherwise, why don't I help Prince Kang, rather let Prince Bao blame me for being cold-hearted?"
The two were silent.
"Ah..., it seems that my fifth brother is destined for this. My father doesn't know what will happen. It's really not good to be depressed in my heart." Leng Shoushan sighed helplessly, and drank another gulp.
Leng Shoushi looked at Chu Li, but didn't speak.
It would be too much for Chu Li to force him to help after he had spoken to this point. Even if they were princes, Chu Li would not listen.
After a few drinks, the three of them changed the topic and chatted about some martial arts affairs.
Chu Li talked and laughed, and he didn't say until before the banquet was over, "Well, I can do a personal favor and do my best."
The two cheered up and looked at him.
Chu Li said: "Shizi Shan made a list of Shizi Jiang's friends, and then listed the people he had been in contact with recently at the top, and then invited the first six to come to the banquet."
"Six..." Leng Shoushan nodded hurriedly: "Okay, I'll invite them tomorrow!"
Chu Li said: "After they come to the banquet, I will hide aside and let Miss Jixue send you a letter."
"Okay!" Leng Shoushan hurriedly said, "Can we find out in this way?"
Chu Li shook his head and said, "I can only try it and see if I get lucky. It stands to reason that it was done by an acquaintance."
"Thank you, Chief Manager Chu!" Leng Shoushan clasped his fists and said.
Chu Li said: "I can only help Shan Shizi and Shi Zi to check it. It is considered as a personal help. Please keep the two princes secret!"
"No problem!" The two nodded.
——
In the evening of the next day, at the dawn of twilight, Chu Li had already arrived at Qingyun Tower, and was directly led into Jixue Courtyard by the guards. Jixue greeted him personally, and took him to the east wing.
This is an empty house, usually no one comes to live in it, and it is cleaned up very cleanly, obviously it was just cleaned up today.
Ji Xue knew what she was interested in and didn't bother, she just said goodbye and left.
Chu Li sat cross-legged on the couch, just about to practice Wanxiang Guizong, when footsteps sounded, Leng Shoushi and Leng Shoushan came over, greeted with fists together, said that they were ready, and asked him what he would say at the banquet later.
Chu Li said with a smile: "The two princes can do whatever they want, and they can say whatever they want, there is no need to deliberately."
"Don't you need to ask something?" Leng Shoushan said.
Chu Li shook his head: "This will make people suspicious. Of course, it doesn't matter if you want to ask, everything is according to the wishes of the son."
"Well, I'm relieved!" Leng Shoushan said.
Leng Shoushi said: "What can you tell from this?"
Chu Li smiled and said, "If there is a problem, I can feel it."
"I hope we don't waste our efforts in vain." Leng Shoushi said: "These six people can't do it tonight, invite another six people tomorrow!"
Chu Li nodded: "That's exactly what I mean!"
Leng Shoushan gritted his teeth and snorted heavily: "We must catch that guy, Fifth Brother can't die in vain!"
Chu Li was silent and did not speak. It is difficult to guarantee that this matter will be successful, and it requires a bit of luck.
