Chapter Thirty-Six: Covering the Sky with One Hand
After Chen San left with the others, Wu Song called Liu Quan, the old arrester, and asked him if there was any new progress in his interrogation of the four suspects. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Liu Quan was ashamed and said: "All kinds of means have been used, but I still haven't asked what the results are." These bastards don't admit that they have anything to do with Hu Qin's case! ”
Wu Song asked, "What about the situation of the external investigation?" ”
Liu Quandao: "After external verification, these four bastards did come to Qinghe County recently. Of course, as soon as they came to Qinghe County, there was a big case of someone sneaking into the county government, and it stands to reason that they were more suspicious. However, I sent my brothers to check it repeatedly, and there really was no interaction between these people and Hu Qin, at least no direct contact. ”
Wu Song knew that in this era, unlike the society before the time-travel, he could make a phone call to the hometown of the four suspects and ask the local yamen to verify their situation. Generally speaking, the peripheral investigation of the yamen catchers can only do this.
Wu Song asked again: "These four suspects have been arrested for so many days, if the interrogation has not yielded any results, will they be detained by us all the time?" ”
Liu Quandao: "I'm afraid it can only be like this." At least until Hu Qin's case is thoroughly investigated, these four suspects cannot be released. ”
Wu Song fell silent for a while.
Hey, this is ancient times after all.
Although Wu Song doesn't know much about criminal investigation and case handling, after all, he also knows some legal common sense in his previous life, for example, the police can't question the suspect for more than two days at most, there is no suspicion of a crime, and the suspect should be released without evidence, bail, etc., these measures to protect human rights do not exist in this era.
Perhaps, one day Wu Song will develop and work hard to implement these concepts. But as far as he is concerned, there are some things that he is powerless to change for the time being.
Wu Song was thinking about this, only to see Liu Quan say again: "Acting Lord Dutou, the suspect will be closed, it is not a big deal if he is locked up, just find a crime and then give them a crime, you don't have to worry!" ”
As he spoke, he took out a small paper bag from his arms, put it on the table in front of Wu Song, and said with a smile: "Brothers know that adults are benevolent, and they can't see others suffering. Don't worry, these four suspects are comfortable now, their friends outside are quite sensible, up and down, this is a filial piety agent to you! ”
Wu Song immediately guessed that the contents of this small paper bag must be silver. He picked it up and checked it, estimating that there must be at least one or two.
This matter should be caught quickly in the yamen, and the salary for a year is only five taels of silver. These two taels of silver are equivalent to a few months' salary.
Wu Song didn't pretend to be forced this time, and without hesitation, he accepted the bag of silver, smiled at Liu Quan, and nodded.
Liu Quan was overjoyed when he saw that Wu Song did not refuse, and he also smiled all over his face.
It can be said that at this time, he accepted Wu Song as the acting head from his heart! He knew that all the catches in the yamen would feel the same as him.
He didn't know that Wu Song had just rejected a "business" worth at least a thousand taels of silver!
The small bag of silver that Liu Quan handed over to Wu Song was clearly given by the Qing sons. On the one hand, they wanted to bribe Wu Song with a lot of money so that Wu Songken could release the four suspects as soon as possible, and on the other hand, they made a little effort to make the four suspects live better in the cell and suffer less.
The arresters do not have the right to release the four suspects, but it is up to them whether the suspects are doing well or not in their cells, and whether they suffer or not. If you don't do a good job of arresting these fast, even if the four suspects really have nothing to do with Hu Qin's case, they may not be able to go back alive!
Wu Song remembered that this was originally written in the book of his previous life. He went to prison after killing Ximenqing, and it was common for the jailers to try to collect the money, and he was saved from suffering thanks to the help of Shi'en. The yamen quickly relied on looting property from the suspect's relatives, which was obviously a characteristic of this era, and Wu Song did not think that he could change it immediately.
Besides, Wu Song is also a human being after all, and he has to live, so he has to let his brother Wu Dalang and his own life slowly improve, and even, if possible, he can save some money to redeem Pan Jinlian.
If he doesn't accept it, he will cut off all the financial routes of the fast catchers, so don't want to lead them to continue to investigate the case. After receiving this share from everyone, the catchers will feel that Wu Song has been in contact with their interests and begin to truly become "their own people".
If this kind of money is collected in the future, the lives of Wu Song and Wu Dalang brothers will indeed be better and better!
Well, let's grasp a principle, that is: If the four suspects who were arrested this time count the money like Qing Gongzi, then accept it; If it is the money of ordinary poor people, then it will not be collected.
Liu Quan saw that Wu Song not only accepted the money, but also did not pretend to be forced, like some officials pretended to be wordy, and felt that it was indeed not a bad thing to let Wu Song be the head of the capital. He took the initiative to say: "Lord Dutou, in the future, if there is any prisoner who is willing to pay homage, the brothers will pay attention to it, and there will be no less filial piety to you, please rest assured!" ”
Wu Song obviously felt the change in Liu Quan's attitude towards him. If Liu Quan was only passively obedient to him before, then now he obviously has the intention of taking the initiative to approach.
has carried a gun together, prostituted together, and received stolen goods together, so the relationship will naturally be more intimate. This made Wu Song suddenly feel more confident about the management and control of this fast catching team.
It turns out that that's how leaders behave.
However, he does not plan to continue to talk to Liu Quan on the topic of collecting black money.
Wu Song instead told Liu Quan about his meeting with Qing Gongzi in Zuixian Tower, but omitted the detail that Qing Gongzi tried to send him a large amount of gold, silver and jewelry. Because, of course, this detail must be omitted, and confession will arouse the suspicion of Liu Quan and the fast catchers, thinking that Wu Song has actually embezzled this huge amount of wealth.
"You will seriously interrogate those four suspects. His boss is to give the brothers a point, and the brothers usually don't deliberately embarrass them, but they still have to say what they should say, and if they really have something unsightly, then how to deal with it has to be dealt with. You focus on interrogating them about their relationship with that Qing Gongzi and what they are doing in Qinghe County, but we must not let them poke anything out under our noses! ”
In the end, Wu Song explained to Liu Quan. His words became more and more like a head.
Liu Quan nodded in agreement. This kind of thing is interrogated, or this kind of old arrest is fast and expert, and it is better to leave it to them.
Wu Song went back to his residence again, since he became the head of the agency, he hadn't gone home for dinner for several days, and today he went home to have a lunch with his brother Wu Dalang, and by the way, he made it clear to him that he had returned all the money to Qing Gongzi.
Seeing his younger brother come back for dinner, Wu Dalang was overjoyed; After hearing Wu Song's return of the silver, he was even more appreciative and said, "Erlang, you did the right thing in this matter." The county magistrate promoted you to be the acting capital, and you have to do your best to run errands for the magistrate. If you take someone else's money and let the criminal go, how can you be worthy of the county master? You're doing the right thing! ”
Wu Song looked at Wu Dalang's ugly face and was greatly moved in his heart. The elder brother is kind and loyal, in fact, he knows things well, and he only blames the later Pan Jinlian for not knowing how to cherish it, and Ximen Qing's dog thief has sinister intentions.
