"Why are there so many police officers? What's going on with these children? And who are these prisoners?"
"Look at that child, does he look familiar?"
"It seems to be the child who disappeared from the Zhao family a few days ago?"
"And that one, he looks so much like Mr. Tang. Could he be Mr. Tang's grandson who's been missing for ten years?"
"Could it be that these children are the missing children? Have all the missing children been found?"
The people were very surprised.
Over the years, children have been disappearing one after another, and there are rumors in the city that there are monsters eating children, which has caused panic among the people.
It now appears that someone has abducted these children.
Great! The missing children have finally been found.
"Great! I have to tell Master Zhao right away!"
"I'll go tell Mr. Tang!"
…
Government office.
Several people dressed in official attire were walking out, preparing to go to a tavern to drink together.
"How's the case of the County Magistrate going? He hasn't been seen lately."
"Heh, you were thinking about showing off when you took the job, but you didn't expect this case to be so troublesome to handle, did you?"
"A newborn calf is not afraid of a tiger. He should be allowed to encounter difficulties and learn that many things are not so easy to deal with."
"The county magistrate only gave him a month, right? It seems like half a month has already passed. He must have no hope of solving the case. How will the county magistrate punish him then?"
"Serious cases could lead to dismissal, minor cases could lead to demotion, but it's not a good thing anyway."
"Serves us right. Why are we so active? It makes us look lazy."
"We're not lazy, we're self-aware. If we take on this and can't solve it, we'll not only be embarrassed, but we'll lose our jobs!"
"Ha ha ha ha!"
Their faces were filled with gloating smiles.
Just then, an official came in hurriedly, as if he had something urgent to do.
One of them stopped the officer, his tone full of curiosity.
"What happened? You're so flustered."
"Yes, Lord County Magistrate. Lord County Magistrate has found the missing child and will be at the government office soon. I will report this to Lord County Magistrate!"
As the officer spoke, he walked around them and rushed inside.
This time, everyone was stunned.
Did they hear it right?
The county magistrate actually solved the case?
A case that went unsolved for ten years was solved in just over ten days?
Their faces felt like they had been slapped and were burning with pain.
Their faces changed several times, becoming very ugly. After a while, someone finally spoke.
"Let's go and take a look."
The officer rushed to the door of County Magistrate Wen's study.
"Sir, the county magistrate has found the missing child. Please go and take a look." The officer shouted.
The governor of Wen County was stunned for a moment, very surprised, obviously he had not expected this.
In the past few days, the families of the missing children have come to the government office one after another, requesting that the government office find out the truth as soon as possible. County Magistrate Wen was willing but unable to do so, so he decided to write a letter to the teacher, asking him to report the matter to the emperor and send an imperial envoy to investigate the matter thoroughly.
There were also fools among the imperial envoys, and this cost his teacher a favor, but he really had no other choice but to try his best.
The pen in County Magistrate Wen's hand fell on the letter, and the black ink spread out.
"Found it?" County Magistrate Wen came back to his senses and said in surprise.
"Yes, they should be almost at the door." The officer reported.
County Magistrate Wen immediately walked out, even jogging, and the officials quickly chased after him.
When County Magistrate Wen arrived at the door, he saw a huge group of people, led by the new County Magistrate.
The rest of the officers were accompanied by people, including young children and teenagers. They were all very weak and it was unknown how much suffering they had endured.
Wei Qing carried Tang Li in his arms, dismounted, and bowed to the Magistrate Wen. "Your Excellency, I have brought back ninety-four victims, one principal offender, and thirty-one accomplices."
County Magistrate Wen's attitude towards Wei Qing suddenly improved a lot and he patted his arm.
"Good, very good, Wu Juncheng, you did a great job."
Magistrate Wen looked at those poor children.
Wei Qing briefly told the case to County Magistrate Wen.
"Sir, the mastermind is a poison doctor named Mr. Fang. He uses a killer organization to capture children between the ages of five and ten to test his drugs."
"Sir, this is the list we found. Over the past fifteen years, he has used a total of 320 people to test drugs. In the first five years, he captured children in the capital area, and ten years ago, he concentrated on committing crimes in Qinghe County. These ninety-four are survivors." Wei Qing said.
There were 320 people, but in the end only 94 were left. These 226 children were gone just like that.
Among these ninety-four people, there are thirty-five living dead who have lost their minds...
These data represent real people. It is too cruel and inhumane.
County Magistrate Wen's face showed both pity for the children and anger at the viciousness of the thief.
The prefect of Wen County immediately ordered that the children be settled in the government office, provided with food, drink, clothing and shelter, and that the prisoners be locked up in the dungeon and kept under strict watch.
As an accomplice, Liu Lan was naturally thrown into prison.
When she was taken away, her eyes were always looking at Tangli with pleading.
Tangli nodded at her.
Don't worry, she will definitely bring A Yu back to his senses.
She responded wordlessly.
Liu Lan kept bowing and nodding to her.
The prisoners were taken away.
"Sir, these children have been fed a lot of medicine, and some of them are very weak. We need to ask a few doctors to take a good look at their bodies." Wei Qing said.
The Magistrate of Wen nodded and called an official over: "Go and invite all the best doctors in Qinghe County."
The officer took the order and left.
"Sir, there are also these. They were originally living people, but after being fed medicine, they became living dead. After waking up, they have infinite strength and attack blindly. They must be placed in a safe place to ensure their safety and ensure that they do not hurt people." Wei Qing said.
"Sir, if they bite other people, then other living people will also become living dead, so you must be careful." Tang Li reminded.
This matter must be handled with caution, otherwise once it spreads, the consequences will be disastrous.
County Magistrate Wen nodded, made arrangements, and took the living dead away as well.
The matter has come to an end for the time being.
County Magistrate Wen pulled Wei Qing aside and talked to him. To be honest, he was really impressed by this young Marquis Wu.
Originally, when Young Marquis Wu was parachuted into the position of County Magistrate, he thought he was just another person who would take up the position without doing anything. But he never expected that Young Marquis Wu would be so capable as to solve the case that had troubled him for ten years!
County Magistrate Wen looked at Tang Li and asked, "Who is this one?"
Before Tang Li could say anything, Wei Qing rushed in and said, "This is Miss Tang, the owner of Ningfeng Restaurant. This missing person case was solved thanks to Miss Tang."
Wei Qing couldn't hide the pride in his tone. Of course he was proud that such a good girl was his wife.
In fact, County Magistrate Wen had heard a long time ago that the County Magistrate had fallen in love with a widow. This romantic affair only made his impression of the new County Magistrate worse. Now it seems that he had developed a prejudice.
The new county magistrate is good, and this girl looks really good too.
Soon, the families of those who had lost their children rushed to the government office in ecstasy.
