Chapter 1271: Investigating the Truth, Dreaming Is Faster

Boss An took the advice and didn't pester Qian Dawang anymore. He took his people and began to question the prison guards of the C-grade prison.

Shi Youcai's affair was done secretly, limited to a few loyal people who knew. Other prison guards didn't know at all that there was a prisoner named Shi Youcai locked in the depths of the prison.

This bunch of lazy bums walked through the motions when patrolling the prison and did things perfunctorily. They wouldn't walk to the deepest part at all.

It was the servants who delivered food and the executioners in the torture room who knew there was such a character in the C-grade prison. He had to go to the torture room to be trained once every month or two, and he hadn't died for five full years.

His life was really big!

Therefore, after questioning, Boss An and the others didn't gain any useful information.

The prison guards all had similar replies: they knew there was a prisoner locked in the depths of the prison who had offended the powerful and was miserable. But they didn't know his name, nor did they know his specific appearance.

When did he die?

This was even less clear.

"The weather is so cold, people die in the prison every few days; no one will pay special attention."

"I heard the prisoner surnamed Shi had to be punished every month; it's very normal that he couldn't survive the winter."

"He died, so he died; why investigate? Is his identity very special?"

"Who is Qian Dawang? Oh, a helper! Don't know!"

"We are only responsible for guarding the prisoners; we don't care what crimes the prisoners committed. Qian Dawang, don't know. There are so many prisoners, how can I remember them all!"

"A prisoner that Jiang Jiang Yucheng Chen pays special attention to? Don't know! I only know that Official Chen pays more attention to scholars."

"Official Chen patrols the C-grade prison at least once a month; when the weather is good, he will come a few more times. A prisoner he pays special attention to? Didn't notice, don't know!"

"I heard you are investigating the prisoner surnamed Shi. Why do you always ask about Official Chen's affairs? Are you trying to be detrimental to the Heavenly Prison? I tell you, don't even think about getting any news about Official Chen from our mouths."

"You Six Shanmen have eaten too much and are full; the prisoner died, so he died, and you still come to investigate specially; you're idle. Shi Youcai, haven't heard of him, don't know him, and haven't seen him. Who remembers things from five years ago. I've even forgotten things from last month!"

After questioning dozens or hundreds of prison guards, they didn't get a single useful piece of news.

The Six Shanmen people were all a bit discouraged.

They weren't willing to investigate a brother unit to begin with, and now that the investigation wasn't going well, they were full of complaints.

Boss An was very dissatisfied.

He didn't suspect this group of prison guards.

Such a big thing must be carried out secretly; it's impossible to announce it to everyone. It's reasonable that the prison guards didn't know.

However, there must be a few people who knew the ins and outs of this matter.

For example, Lu Datou who led the way before.

For example, Huang Ye, the prison guard of the C-grade prison.

Lu Datou was very slick, pulling east and west without a single truthful word; he wouldn't reveal the truth without torture.

Huang Ye was very steady, very stable; I heard he was promoted by Chen Guanlou himself, so he definitely wouldn't reveal the truth either. I guess he would carry it even if he were tortured. As long as he didn't die, there would definitely be a thick reward.

But he couldn't use torture on these two people.

He could guess that if he dared to use torture on the two, Chen Guanlou might slaughter him.

So...

"Withdraw the team! Go back to the government office first."

"What about you, Boss?"

"I'll flip through the case files again!" Boss An let his subordinates go back first.

He still had to deal with Chen Guanlou.

"Finished questioning?" Chen Guanlou entertained Boss An in the office.

"Thank you, Jiang Jiang Yucheng Chen, for your cooperation, I've finished questioning."

"Brother units should cooperate. Did you find anything?" Chen Guanlou smiled half-heartedly.

Boss An chuckled, "Why does Jiang Jiang Yucheng Chen have to ask when he knows?"

"I don't like hearing this!" Chen Guanlou was very straightforward, "You can't find a problem, it only proves that I am serious and responsible for my work, not that I am guilty!"

Boss An hurried to apologize, and then said, "I flipped through the case files and various documents; Shi Youcai died on the 27th of last month. But I learned from the prison guards that no one died in the C-grade prison on the 27th."

Chen Guanlou sneered, "You remembered wrong; Shi Youcai died on the 28th of last month, and four people died that day. I even scolded two prison guards severely."

"Oh, that means I remembered wrong."

"You specialize in investigating cases, and your memory is bad; this is a big problem."

"Thank you, Jiang Jiang Yucheng Chen, for the reminder."

"You're welcome! Are there any other questions?" Chen Guanlou asked with a smile.

"I want to see Shi Youcai's corpse."

"Sorry, this matter cannot be satisfied. To avoid an epidemic, Shi Youcai's corpse was already taken outside the city and buried in the mass grave. You know that place, the mass grave; no tombstones are erected, burying here and there, and new graves are dug every day. Can't find it!"

Find?

Go dig the graves!

Dig a hundred graves, and you might not be able to dig the person out. Anyway, the Heavenly Prison can only give a general direction, or even a wrong direction. There are so many graves, and it's so messy, and no tombstones are erected; even if a god came, he would be blind.

Boss An also understood this problem.

And it's not a major case, so the Ministry of Justice definitely wouldn't agree to dig the graves. How much manpower, material resources, and financial resources would that take. And, it's almost New Year, so going to dig graves is looking for bad luck.

"I understand! Sorry for disturbing Jiang Jiang Yucheng Chen today, I hope you'll forgive me."

"Everyone is for the case, I understand you. Next time, if it's not for official business, come find me, and I'll treat you to a drink." Chen Guanlou was very generous, looking like he was easy to talk to.

Boss An didn't believe a single word.

He got up, cupped his hands, and left.

Mu Yiguan Mu crawled out from the side room, looked at Boss An's distant back, and then drilled into the office.

"Official, is it okay now? Has this hurdle been crossed?"

"With me here, there are no hurdles. I told you, let the Shi family run wild, this official can't control it. But don't even think about running wild in the Heavenly Prison! This place, the Heavenly Prison, this official has the final say!"

Mu Yiguan Mu laughed with relief, "This case should be settled before the New Year."

"I guess in two days, Old Sun will let the Right Vice Minister go home for vacation."

"That would be great!"

As long as he didn't drop the chain here, Sun Daoning would clear up the subsequent troubles for him.

This was the tacit understanding between the two. No need to explain in detail, both knew what to do.

It's cold!

Chen Guanlou was too lazy to go home to light a stove to boil water, finding it troublesome. He decisively went to the brothel.

During this period, he ate and lived in the brothel.

Every high-end brothel in the city was his place to stay. It was delicious and fun, and there were beautiful girls to serve him. Anyway, he had money!

That night, a conflict occurred in the brothel, and Chen Guanlou beat up the Shi family's young master, and also beat up the other playboys. They actually ran in front of him to show off and leave harsh words, without any sense of judgment. This kind of person just owed a beating! ===== CHAPTER 1272 =====

That night, a conflict broke out at the brothel. Chen Guanlou beat up the young master of the Shi family and also thrashed the other fops who were with him. They actually dared to run up to him, show off their power, and make threats; they had absolutely no sense of judgment. People like this just deserved a beating!
