296: C296 There Was Someone else

C296 There Was Someone else

However, Xiao Chen knew that things weren't that simple. Hwa Xuwan had just said that she wanted to capture Xu Da today. The evidence had just been collected with them, so Xu Da must not have been caught by Hwa Xuwan. Then there must be someone else.

Seeing Jian Shi's emotional expression, Xiao Chen could not bear to expose this lie. At least, Jian Shi now had a feeling that he had been wronged.

"Mr Jian, there is something I have to tell you." Xiao Chen suddenly said with a deep expression.

Seeing Xiao Chen's expression change, Jian Shi was a little surprised for a moment, but he immediately reacted. He put away the emotional look from before and looked at Xiao Chen very seriously.

"Mr. Xiao has something to tell me, or he told me to do it. I, Jian Shi, will do my best. No matter if it is going to be a mountain of knives or a pot of oil, I will do my best!"

Xiao Chen was slightly stunned. He did not expect Jian Shi's reaction to be so enthusiastic, but he did not want to ask Jian Shi for help, so he shook his head and said.

"I do not want Mr Jian's help. There are only three of us here. I have to tell you some bad news."

"Bad news?" Jian Shi was stunned. In his opinion, Xu Da had already been arrested. What bad news could there be? Could it be that the murderer was someone else?

Thinking of this, Jian Shi couldn't help but feel a chill down his spine. If the murderer was someone else, then this matter would be too suspenseful.

Seeing Jian Shi's reaction, Xiao Chen lightly coughed twice, then slowly said:

"Xu Da, it was not someone I know who caught him."

As soon as these words came out, Jian Shi and Qiang immediately felt as if something exploded in their ears. Their minds were buzzing.

This was something that was even more difficult to accept than the fact that the murderer was someone else.

"Pay attention to driving!" Xiao Chen reminded Qiang, who was in front of them.

Only then did Qiang realize what was going on. He once again focused on driving.

He saw that there was no response from the stone for a long time. He did not know if it was because he was frightened or thinking about something.

"Mr Jian, there is no need to have such an expression. Actually, the matter still needs to be investigated. If the person who captured Xu Da is also our friend, it's not impossible. " Xiao Chen patted Jian Shi's shoulder to comfort him.

Jian Shi felt Xiao Chen's strength and recovered from his thoughts. He looked at Xiao Chen and asked, "Mr. Xiao, can you know about the special envoy of the capital?"

"The special envoy of the capital?" Xiao Chen was slightly stunned, then nodded and said, "I know. There are only ten special envoys in the entire country right now."

"Yes, this time it was a Capital's special envoy who caught Xu Da. We will see him in a while." Jian Shi nodded and said.

"Alright, we will talk about it after we meet." Xiao Chen also nodded slightly.

Although Xiao Chen had never seen the special envoy before, he had some understanding of this title. This was a title given by the head of state. Essentially, it did not have any power or status.

But the problem was, when the special envoy found enough evidence to prove some things, his power was almost above all the officials in the empire. There was even a special envoy in history who had once accused the head of state of negligence. In the end, the head of state had no choice but to apologize in public.

It could be seen that the title of the special envoy held a lot of weight in the entire empire.

Especially for some officials who wanted to go higher, this special envoy was a group of people who had to be fawned over. Because they also had the ability to recommend people. What if that special envoy was in a good mood and wandered around the city or the county?

He happened to see a certain official's outstanding performance and felt that he should not use his talents for nothing. After recommending him to the head of state, perhaps this official would receive an invitation from the capital one day. Inviting him to the capital to take up an important position.

This was something akin to a sparrow turning into a phoenix. It was also something that many officials dreamed of getting.

Of course, the prerequisite was that this official's talent was indeed outstanding and his field of vision was also extraordinary. Only then would there be a very small probability of him being chosen.

Because the Capital's special envoys did not have the leisure to stare at the talents of the officials every day. They were more focused on whether or not there were any problems with the high-ranking officials. If there were some serious problems.

Naturally, they had to directly arrest them and hand them over to the Capital for trial.

And now, Xu Da was already on the way to the capital, sitting in a police car escorting felons. Xu Da could not understand why he had done it flawlessly. The watertight situation had actually been seen through by a special envoy of the capital the moment he arrived.0

Before he was captured, he hadn't even heard any news. There had not even been any rumors. When he had been arrested... He was still in his office dealing with government affairs, and for some reason, he was beaten up by two guards from the capital. Then, he was arrested.

The charges were: abuse of power. Of course, the scope of this abuse was relatively wide. So it was almost a capital offense. Now it was time to go to the capital to let the Empire's Supreme Court of Judges make the corresponding ruling. Then, expose his matter in front of the entire nation's citizens.

Although he was inexplicably arrested, the current Xu Da could be said to have lost all hope. Because he knew that no one could save him now. Even if he knew many high-ranking officials and dignitaries in the capital, no one would be willing to provoke the misfortune of a special envoy from the capital.

Jian Shi, Xiao Chen, and Qiang came to the Wuling government building again. This was the third time Xiao Chen came here. Thinking about all the experiences he had in the past few days, he suddenly felt as if he had been separated from the world. It seemed like a long time had passed since he last came here.

But this was only a moment's feeling. Jian Shi could not wait to let Xiao Chen meet this special envoy of the capital.

Firstly, he wanted to confirm whether Xiao Chen knew this special envoy. Secondly, he wanted to let Xiao Chen have a connection with such a person. At that time, if there was a chance, he could recommend him again.

Even if he did not succeed, at least his name would appear once in the capital. It would be a great honor for him.

"Mr. Xiao, I am a little anxious. Please do not take offense." Jian Shi also knew that his pace was a little fast. He said apologetically to Xiao Chen.

"It's okay. I can understand what you are thinking right now." Xiao Chen said with a faint smile.

Soon, the three of them arrived at Jian Shi's office. Before they reached the fourth floor, Xiao Chen had already heard the tender voice of Zixuan and Xue'er. He knew who they were treating the moment he heard them.
