Chapter 432: Imprisonment

After some investigation, Zhou Lei became more and more convinced that the destruction of the Black Tiger Gang should have something to do with the owner of Qingyun Villa.

Although Zhou Lei couldn't find any evidence to prove his guess, it seemed from all kinds of signs that it was really the case.

Zhou Lei investigated Qingyun Villa again, and he didn't know if he didn't check, and after a check, he immediately found that the scale of Qingyun Villa was really not small, and most of the land in ten miles and eight townships had fallen into the hands of Qingyun Villa.

Because this matter was done quietly, outsiders did not know that these lands already belonged to Qingyun Villa without investigation.

Being able to buy such a large piece of land, the owner of Qingyun Villa is very rich.

Thinking of having money, Zhou Lei's mind suddenly moved.

Zhou Lei remained silent and continued to collect information, and after a few days, Zhou Lei collected all the information he needed.

The information has been collected, but it is not enough to rely on this information to prove that the owner of Qingyun Villa killed people and to set the charge of murder.

But it doesn't matter, Zhou Lei knows the rules of officialdom too well, and knows that some things don't need conclusive evidence, just a little shadow is enough.

Whether he is guilty or not is not a matter of Shangguan's words.

The next day, Zhou Lei found his top boss, Huo Yeping, the chief catcher, Huo Yeping is the chief catcher of Fucheng, in charge of 300 servants in Fucheng, and he is also the top boss of Zhou Lei.

According to modern concepts, Huo Yeping is equivalent to the chief of police, and Zhou Lei is equivalent to the deputy director, one level lower than the director.

To say that Huo Yeping himself is a person who has no ability, but Huo Yeping has a good background and is related to the prefect of Fucheng, and he is also the confidant of the prefect. So when the prefect took office, Huo Yeping was also brought over, and he was also appointed to the extremely important position of chief catcher.

Zhou Lei naturally didn't say anything about himself directly, but smiled and asked Huo Yeping to drink, Huo Yeping's ability was mediocre, but his eyesight was not bad, as soon as he saw Zhou Lei's appearance, he immediately understood that this kid didn't do good things.

At the same time, it is also a move in his heart, every time Zhou Lei, this kid doesn't do good things, he can get a lot of benefits by following him. I don't know what happened again this time.

Huo Yeping agreed without much thought.

In the afternoon, when they came out of the yamen, the two of them did not bring any entourage, they went directly to the familiar hotel, asked for a private room, ordered three or five side dishes, asked for a pot of rice wine, and the two of them ate wine and food.

After a while, Huo Yepin took a sip of rice wine. Putting down the cup, he glanced at Zhou Lei, and said with a smile: "Old Zhou, you and my brother are not people. It's good to say something directly, why hide. ”

Zhou Lei smiled and said flatteringly: "The head catcher is like a torch, the little thing about the kid." I can't hide anything from you. ”

After a pause, Zhou Lei said: "I really have one thing here, you know about the killing of the Black Tiger Gang a few days ago. ”

"Black Tiger Gang? It's your relative Zhou Tai's gang, I heard that the death was quite miserable, and all the twenty or thirty people were killed cleanly. ”

"What's the matter, have you found the murderer?" Huo Yeping said in surprise, he didn't expect to find the murderer so quickly and solve the case.

Zhou Lei nodded and said: "It's really a little bit of an eyebrow, as far as I know, the Black Tiger Gang has recently had a grudge against Qingyun Villa, this Qingyun Villa has the motive to kill people, and Qingyun Villa also has the financial resources to buy murder." ”

"Qingyun Villa, when did we have a Qingyun Villa?" Huo Yepin asked suspiciously.

Zhou Lei said: "This Qingyun Villa is recently built, it is a foreigner who came here to settle down, according to my recent investigation, this Qingyun Villa is a huge fortune, and it is a foreigner, not long after coming here." ”

"It's just that I'm also puzzled, how can the owner of Qingyun Villa be just a young man, but he has so much money at a young age, and he doesn't have the support of his elders, which is really strange. ”

"Oh, is there such a thing?" As soon as Huo Yeping heard that the family had a huge fortune, his heart immediately moved, and his eyes widened.

As soon as Zhou Lei saw that the time had come, he did not hide it, so he told the information he had obtained from his investigation during this time, and also said his plan.

The owner of this Qingyun Villa has a grudge against the Black Tiger Gang, so naturally there is the possibility of buying murder, and the origin of this Qingyun Villa is also very strange.

There are no elders on the top, there is no family on the bottom, so he comes here alone, but he has a huge family fortune and no roots, which is the second strange place.

Zhou Lei also found some other suspicious points, and with these suspicious points, it was enough to arrest the owner of Qingyun Villa.

As for the catch, it's simple, and after catching it, it's a stone-throwing to ask for directions.

After catching it, it is necessary to see what the owner of Qingyun Villa has to deal with, if the owner of Qingyun Villa has a very strong ability to resist, and the backer behind it is very large, then naturally let the person go, and the matter will not be over.

But if the owner of Qingyun Villa has no way to deal with it, and there is no backer behind him, hehe, then it is two more words, then it is natural to seal up Qingyun Villa and convict its owner of the crime of buying murder.

When the crime is decided, how Qingyun Villa will be distributed is not up to them.

When the two said this, they looked at each other and smiled.

Huo Yeping picked up the wine glass and took a sip, and said with a smile: "Drinking, drinking, there is only idle talk here and no official business, and we will talk about it when we go back to business." ”

"Yes, drink and drink. Zhou Lei suddenly understood, smiled and raised his glass and drank it in one gulp, smiling.

After the two finished eating and drinking, they separated, Huo Yeping returned to the yamen with three points of drunkenness, found the prefect, and explained the matter in detail, of course, the focus is still the huge wealth of Qingyun Villa, and the identity of the owner of the villa.

As soon as he heard about the huge wealth, the prefect was immediately moved, and after listening to their specific action plan, he was immediately relieved.

Take it in custody first, and then do it. It is also in line with the prefect's thoughts.

The other party can have so much money, maybe the background is not simple, so you can't kill it with a rod, but you have to test it first.

Wait until you are sure that the other party has no background, or the background is not hard enough, and then it is not too late to start.

With the approval of the prefect, things will be simpler.

The next day, Zhou Lei took his subordinates to Qingyun Villa, Zhou Lei did not bring too many subordinates with him, only people came, but not far behind Zhou Lei, there were more than 100 messengers quietly following.

This is also a weird calculation by Zhou Lei. If the other party does it, the more than 100 servants behind him will rush up, and things will be simpler.

As for why more than 100 people didn't go together, there was a reason, after all, the skin of the two sides hadn't been torn yet, and now they were just trying to get to the bottom of each other, and it wasn't time for a big fight. So you can't bring too many people the first time.

If that happens, there's no room for things to turn around.

At the gate of Qingyun Villa, Zhou Lei stood forward and glanced towards the gate. Immediately, the spirit ghost stepped forward and slapped towards the door.

"Open the door, open the door quickly, the government will handle the case. ”

"It's coming. Here it comes. "The butler has received the news, and at this time he has come to open the door with his subordinates.

As soon as the door opened, Zhou Lei rushed in with his subordinates like a fierce look. As soon as he stretched out his hand, he pushed away the butlers and subordinates who wanted to stop them from advancing.

The people were frightened, but the housekeeper was more useful, and while accompanying the smiling face, he secretly stuffed silver into Zhou Lei's hand.

This trick was originally extremely effective, but it's a pity that Zhou Lei at this time was not for such a little benefit, but for a big deal, so for such a little silver, not only did he not look at it, but he also had the opportunity to use the topic to play.

Zhou Lei spread out the silver coins in his palms, looked at the housekeeper in front of him, and said viciously: "What do you mean by this, do you want to bribe the official?"

The housekeeper was taken aback, and hurriedly laughed: "Zhou Zhutou said that he was laughing, he was laughing, how could the little one have that meaning, and he didn't dare to have that idea, this bit of silver coin just wanted to invite a few people to have a cup of tea." ”

"Hmph, take your stinky money back, dare to play this game in front of me, what do you think of me, and next time, I will arrest you too. Zhou Lei viciously smashed the silver coin in his hand into the butler's face, with a cold face, he turned around and walked quickly towards the villa.

The butler's face hurt, and he was even more afraid in his heart, he had already realized that today's matter was difficult.

Although I don't know what this Zhou Zhutou came to the door for, you can know from his current appearance that the good man is not coming.

The butler wanted to stop it, but unfortunately with his little arms and legs, there was really no way to stop the other party's actions.

Although the villa is large, it is easy to find someone in it who does not want to hide.

What's more, Wang Xiaoming still took the initiative to come out on his own.

Not long after, in the garden of the villa, Zhou Lei and his party found Wang Xiaoming.

Wang Xiaoming looked at Zhou Lei in front of him, smiled and said, "You are Zhou Lei Zhou Zhutou, I know you, but I don't know what happened when Zhou Zhutou came to me today." ”

Zhou Lei frowned, Wang Xiaoming's behavior gave him a not very good feeling.

At the same time, Wang Xiaoming's tone of speech also stabbed Zhou Lei very lightly, Wang Xiaoming is just a cloth clothes, ordinary people, he should be cautious and cautious about himself, but at this time, Wang Xiaoming treats himself very aggressively, which makes Zhou Lei, who is used to arrogance, very uncomfortable.

However, these are secondary, and the first thing to do is to arrest the other party and talk about the rest of the things.

Zhou Lei smiled coldly and said: "Master Wang, let me tell you, your matter has been committed, you had better follow me obediently now, so that you can avoid the pain of a meal of flesh and skin, otherwise, if we let us do it, when the time comes, we will not be so easy to talk to." ”

Wang Xiaoming said in surprise: "My thing is wrong, I haven't done anything out of the ordinary, where did Zhou Zhutou say?"

Zhou Lei sneered and said: "If someone doesn't know what to do unless you do it, Master Wang, you and I know what you have done, you and I know it in our hearts, there is no need to say much here, this is not the place to speak, you still follow me obediently, you can also not follow us, but in that case, even if you resist law enforcement, you know what the consequences are." ”

In the face of Zhou Lei's threat, Wang Xiaoming's face did not move, but his brows were still furrowed.

Although what Zhou Lei did was not authentic, according to the identity of the people, there was really no place to find faults, after all, it was a tolerance to deal with, and it was an order from the prefect.

Wang Xiaoming already had an idea in his heart, nodded and said, "Since that's the case, then I'll go with you." ”

"That's fine. Zhou Lei nodded and said, although Wang Xiaoming's cooperation made him have less opportunities to use his means, but in the same way, in this way, things will go more smoothly, which also makes Zhou Lei breathe a sigh of relief.

Zhou Hai was really afraid that the ugly man would hide in the villa, with the skills of the ugly man, in case the two sides fought, his own people were really not the opponents of the ugly man.

Now that Wang Xiaoming can be arrested, then the rest of the matter will be simple.

"The owner?" the housekeeper on the side said worriedly, but Wang Xiaoming stopped the housekeeper from talking with a slight wave of his hand, but comforted the housekeeper that there was nothing to do, and he would come back soon, and he didn't need the housekeeper to do anything else, just need the housekeeper to take care of the villa.

In this way, Wang Xiaoming followed Zhou Lei out of the villa.

Outside the villa, Zhou Lei had to prepare the carriage, there was still a long distance from the villa to the prefect's yamen, and it was really inconvenient if there was no carriage.

Zhou Lei and the others took the carriage when they came, and now that they are back, they are naturally in the carriage.

Although there was a carriage for travel, the speed of the carriage was still very limited after all, and it took half a day for the carriage to reach the location of the prefect's yamen.

When Wang Xiaoming was taken to the prefect's yamen, it was already dark, so naturally there was no time to continue the interrogation, and the prefect also went to the back house early to rest, and no one dared to go to the prefect at this time.

As for Wang Xiaoming, he can only be detained in a cell at this time, and he will not be interrogated until tomorrow.

Wang Xiaoming frowned when he entered the cell, the cell was too smelly, which made Wang Xiaoming very unaccustomed to it.

Wang Xiaoming's body moved slightly, and his sense of smell was temporarily sealed, so naturally he couldn't smell it.

There were many empty cells in the cell, but Wang Xiaoming was led into a cell full of people, and when he saw Wang Xiaoming being taken to the cell, the prisoners in the cell immediately laughed.

And Wang Xiaoming himself also laughed. (To be continued......)
