Daming: The system rejected my request for salted fish

Chapter 1384

The two had communicated beforehand, and since Mao Xiang could not speak or respond, they agreed on a secret code.

If Mao Xiang felt something was inappropriate about what Wei Wu said, he would not send any response to Wei Wu.

But if he also agrees with what Wei Wu said, then he will quietly press the call button on the walkie-talkie twice.

When Wei Wu heard the static from the walkie-talkie, he knew that Mao Xiang agreed with what he had said.

Therefore, after receiving Mao Xiang's response, Wei Wu immediately began to make arrangements.

Meanwhile, in prison, Mai Zhide saw Mao Xiang remain silent, and his anxiety reached its peak.

Just as he was worrying about what to do next, a voice suddenly called out from outside the prison.

"Commander, I have important news to report!"

Hearing the sounds coming from outside the prison, Mao Xiang turned to look towards the gate and called out:

"What is it you wish to report? Speak!"

“This humble servant is incompetent. I was ordered to arrest Qian Jinguang, but by the time I arrived, Qian Jinguang had already died at home.”

Upon hearing the description from the Imperial Guards outside the door, Mao Xiang's eyes narrowed, and he said angrily:

"Get inside here and talk!!"

After a furious shout, the prison door was pushed open, and the trusted Imperial Guard rushed in.

Only then did Mao Xiang speak again and ask:

"Tell me in detail what exactly happened, why Qian Jingguang died, and how he died!"

The trusted Imperial Guard did not hesitate and immediately recounted what had happened.

"This humble servant led his men to Qian Jingguang's residence, intending to arrest him, but when we broke into the residence, we found no one there."

"Finally, his body was found in Qian Jingguang's room. I dared not delay and immediately took the body back to the garrison to have a coroner examine it."

"A thin needle was found in Qian Jingang's neck. After examination by the coroner, it was determined that the needle was coated with a deadly poison. Qian Jingang died from poisoning!"

Mao Xiang remained silent with a gloomy face, but he already knew the answer; his current expression was just an act.

Mai Zhide, on the other hand, was completely bewildered after hearing the report from the Embroidered Uniform Guard.

He always believed that Qian Jinguang had been arrested by the Embroidered Uniform Guard just like him, and that after he was interrogated, it would be Qian Jinguang's turn.

But who would have thought that this would be the final answer? To be honest, Mai Zhide didn't believe it and thought that Mao Xiang was deceiving him.

However, at that moment, a single sentence from the Imperial Guard completely shattered his hopes.

"Sir, I have brought Qian Jingguang's body here. It's right outside the door, waiting for your inspection."

Upon hearing this, Mao Xiang nodded and said:

"Bring him in, I want to see him myself!"

As soon as Mao Xiang finished speaking, the Imperial Guards immediately turned and ran out of the prison, and soon after they brought in a corpse.

When Mai Zhide saw Qian Jingguang's body being carried in, his psychological defenses completely collapsed.

Because he knew very well that Qian Jinguang was not killed by the Embroidered Uniform Guard. Mao Xiang dared to torture Qian Jinguang, but he would never dare to kill him.

Furthermore, the coroner confirmed that Qian Jingang was poisoned, which leaves only one possibility: Qian Jingang was silenced by those people.

Qian Jingguang has been silenced, so will I be next?

If Mao Xiang's pressure earlier had made Mai Zhide somewhat apprehensive, now he was completely terrified.

Because he knew very well that no matter how ruthless Mao Xiang was, he would not take his life, while those people would not show him any mercy.

At this moment, Mai Zhide even felt a sense of relief, glad that he had been captured by the Embroidered Uniform Guard and taken to the Imperial Prison, and glad that Mao Xiang had come to find him first.

Otherwise, he might end up like Qian Jingguang, a corpse whose fate remains unknown.

Just as Mai Zhide was lost in thought, Mao Xiang had already squatted down beside Qian Jingguang's body.
