However, when he becomes a head catcher, he will also lose most of his free time, and he is used to it, so naturally it is impossible for him to get used to that kind of life, even if he is a little higher, but it is impossible for him to have any interest at all. Of course, Cui Guangyuan can also see this, he can serve as a county magistrate at the foot of the Son of Heaven, how can he be able to do it without a point of the city government, so in the years when he has been a fast catcher, he is called a fast catcher, but it is actually a head catcher, whether it is to solve a case or capture a bandit, most of the time he comes forward, but it is just the name of the current head catcher. can sit back and enjoy the success without contribution, and there is no reason for the current head catcher to refuse, and it has been like this for a long time, what is going on with their Wannian County and County Office, many people know, but no one breaks it.

Of course, he remembered the robbery of the jewelry store on the eighth day of the fifth month of the 29th year of the Kaiyuan Dynasty, because there were only a few years in the past, and there were only a few major robberies in Chang'an City, most of which were handled by him, how could he not remember. If he remembered correctly, the case at that time was that on the morning of the eighth day of the fifth month, the owner of Li Kee Jewelry Store went to open the door and found that the clerk who was keeping vigil had died tragically in the store, and the store was in a mess, and almost all the jewelry was looted.

At that time, Wannian County dealt with this matter quite quickly, and now that I think about it, I am afraid that it has something to do with the fact that the proprietor behind it is the eldest grandson Guotai, and I should have found out this at the time, but I didn't care about it. After all, at that time, he had nothing to do with the eldest grandson Guotai at all, he had handled so many cases, and there were too many things like princes and nobles behind those stolen and robbed merchants, to be precise, it should be said that he was accustomed to it.

After receiving the notice, he rushed to the scene as soon as possible, and collected a lot of useful clues and intelligence while the scene was not destroyed, the most important of which was how many gangsters were at the scene of the crime, what was the approximate height and weight, and also judged the murderer's genre and weapon style from the corpse of the clerk. After getting these clues and information, he quickly reported to the Yulin Army Intelligence Department, which is a spy agency directly under Emperor Xuanzong Li Longji, similar to Bai Lingfeng's military aircraft department, but the intelligence department is only responsible for the collection and investigation of intelligence, which can also be said to be the core of a large net that Li Longji scattered throughout the Central Plains, while the Military Aircraft Department is only responsible for implementing Li Longji's orders.

Although it is a spy agency directly under Li Longji, many cases in Chang'an can obtain some information from them in many cases, which can be regarded as Li Longji's special kindness. After all, no matter what, Chang'an is at the feet of the Son of Heaven, if you are stingy in this kind of place, it is a little too much, if there is all kinds of information provided by the intelligence department, it is much more convenient to solve the case, Ye Qingcheng has dealt with them a lot before, and many of them are familiar with them.

According to the clues and information he provided, the intelligence department quickly identified a group of merchants from Shannan Province, and several of them had characteristics that matched the clues.

When Ye Chengcheng hurriedly rushed to the inn where the group of merchants was staying, as expected, they had already fled, and after searching their residences, it was even more certain that it was this group of people who committed the robbery of Li Kee's jewelry store.

However, no matter how they inquired, the innkeepers did not know how the group had disappeared, they only left the silver taels of the inn in the room, and they did not tell anything else about the people in the inn, and they did not even talk to other tenants, so no one knew where they were at all. After inquiring with the passers-by, shopkeepers and clerks nearby, Ye Chengcheng could be sure that this group of people left the inn before dawn, and at this time, the officials he sent to the various city gates also reported that there was no sign of this group of people passing through the city gates, which made him confused for a long time.

Chang'an City is different from other cities, the whole city is impregnable, and the city wall alone is not comparable to any mortal city in the Central Plains, so it is unlikely that anyone will be able to climb over the city wall to get out of the city, let alone carry the jewels that have been looted. Therefore, they must have absconded through the tunnel in Chang'an, through the investigation of various sections of the city wall, he really found a tunnel covered with wooden planks next to the stable under the root of a remote city wall, and even picked up an inconspicuous gold jewelry in the tunnel, which made him even more convinced of his judgment.

After probing the footprints outside the city walls, he judged the direction in which the gang had absconded, although they claimed to be merchants from Shannan Province, if nothing else, they would only flee to Qizhou, Longzhou and Fengxiang, the most likely of which was Fengxiang.

After going up to Tongbing, he received the support of Jin Wuwei at that time, and sent fifty people to Qizhou and Longzhou to chase the thieves on horseback, as we all know, most of Jin Wuwei are composed of princes or princes and nobles, and the whole has nothing to do, seeing that there is such an opportunity to kill, these people are also very cooperative. According to his analysis, because Chang'an's city defense is extremely strong, and the vigilance is very high, it is impossible for this group of people to prepare horses in Longshouyuan, even if it is close, it must be prepared in an inn far away, so if they ride horses from Chang'an to catch up, if the direction is correct, it will not be long before they can catch up with this group.

And because of the fear of being traced, it was impossible for this group to stay in the above three cities, and they would inevitably continue to flee, at least out of Gyeonggi Province.

Sure enough, when the sun had just set, their group caught up with this group of people west of Fengxiang, each of them was a good player, knowing that if they were arrested, it would be a capital crime, so they resisted stubbornly, and finally they were all killed on the spot, and he was naturally the one who contributed the most.

The robbed jewelry was also recovered, because of this case, Jingzhao Yin Lusong even came to the door to boast about him in person, he thought it was an extremely difficult case, he actually took a day to solve it, and at the same time killed all the murderers, how could it be. But in the end, he still pushed most of the credit to the head catcher in Wannian County according to his intentions, so that he received a lot of rewards, despite this, there is no impermeable wall in the world, everyone knows what their county government is all about, and the credit for this case, in the eyes of the people of Chang'an, is of course to be counted on his head.

Looking back now, when he was inspecting the looted jewelry, he noticed a brocade box, which turned out to be a jade night pearl the size of a goose egg.
