Li Guolou's first reaction when he heard the gunfire was to rush to the place where the gunshots rang out, he didn't mean to be a team, and he wanted to be a lone ranger.

Behind him, Lu Haikong hurriedly said: "Xiao Lizi will stop for me, and the sons will give me the whole team, and no one will be allowed to let go of the road." In the third formation, the front team held knives, and the rear team carried guns to block the alley for me. ”

The benefits of formation drills were evident, and in a matter of seconds, the exit of the alley was blocked. This is a dead end, the flat dan alley faces north and south, and it is inhabited by rich people and officials. This is a place where the capital is safe, and the ruffians and hooligans will not come here to collect protection money, and the small number of shops on the street and the small number of people indicate that it is not usually lively here. And now most of the crowd is standing in front of a Yang Mansion compound, and the two of them fell on the steps and died.

Someone was shouting: "It's Lord Zhang, Zhang Guozhi of the military department was killed by someone with a black gun, and next to him is his entourage, Xiao Dezi." ”

Lu Haikong held a knife in his left hand and said angrily: "The official is handling the case, everyone is standing against the wall, and no one is allowed to move." ”

Ma Dequan's voice was loud and shouted: "Everyone stand up, the official will handle the case, and let you go back immediately." ”

The catchers maintained order, and soon more than 100 merchants and passers-by of the shops were forced to press on the left and right sides of the street, with the merchants and the people living here standing on the left, and all outsiders standing on the right.

Soon a group of officials also came to help, knocked on the door panel, closed the door, and brought out all the people who were hiding inside.

The deceased Zhang Guozhi's family also came out to explain the situation, and Steward Zhang cried: "Our master likes to go out at this time, go to the teahouse diagonally opposite to drink tea and listen to plays, I didn't expect the security in Beijing to be so bad." ”

Lu Haikong hurriedly put aside the relationship and said: "Steward Zhang, what are you talking about, Lord Zhang was killed by someone seeking revenge, what does it have to do with the security of the Jingshi."

Liu Chengle, the captain who ruled this area, asked, "Do you know who your master has offended?" ”

Steward Zhang couldn't stop crying, and finally said, "How do I know? ”

Liu Chengle shook his hand and gave Steward Zhang a big mouth, and said angrily: "Grandma's bear, waste so much of my time." ”

Li Guolou saw Liu Chengle angry and scolded the common people, how could such a person take the words of witnesses? All the people kept their mouths shut, refusing to say anything to help.

The arrester and the official kept asking the crowd standing on the road, "Who saw the scene at the time of the crime, and did there be any eyewitnesses?" The government has a big reward. ”

After shouting for a long time, no one said that they saw the scene of the crime, this is the gate of the mansion, and no one will hang out here. Who knows the truth, even if someone sees it, they don't want to tell it in public.

Li Guolou was anxious, looking at more and more people who were being taken out of the shops by the servants and arresters, and the women were taken to another open space and not allowed to talk to others. As for the deep house compound next to it, the catchers didn't dare to disturb it.

Li Guolou looked at the crowd of detainees on the street, and so far he had not found two muskets, where would he find out if he continued to investigate? This is not Yao's wrong place, Li Guolou did not cross the border to search those passers-by and merchants, he just maintained the order like other arrests, and did not let the suspects who fired the black guns escape.

There must have been murderers and witnesses in the crowd, and the murderer's flintlock pistol should have been thrown in some gutter or hidden in some shop. As for the witnesses, they should be afraid that the murderer will commit the murder again, so they dare not testify against the murderer on the spot. Zhang Guozhi, who was the commander of the deceased's military department, must have been involved in a conspiracy and was killed.

Li Guolou looked at Liu Chengle, this person is Wu Defu's nemesis, is it necessary for him to help Liu Chengle? More than a dozen family members of the deceased next to him were howling and crying together, Li Guolou couldn't bear it, or regardless of the division of the people above, people's lives were at stake, and the murderer should be found.

Li Guolou touched his nose, walked to Liu Chengle, the prefect who governed this area, and said with a smile: "Captain Liu, if you continue to investigate like this, you can't find out who put the black gun. ”

Liu Chengle glanced at Li Guolou suspiciously, and asked, "Little Lizi, have you seen the murderer?" ”

Li Guolou shook his head and said, "Captain Liu, I'm with Lao Lu, he didn't see it, how can I see it." I just saw that you have to make a record of so many people, and I don't think it's necessary, and now I can still find the suspect in the murder, but if I really run to the yamen, I can't find it. ”

Liu Chengle pointed to a group of people nearby and said: "There must be two murderers who fired black guns in them, and they can't be found now, and there will always be people who will come out to testify when they arrive at the Yamen." ”

Li Guolou looked at Liu Chengle's appearance, he was extremely dissatisfied, and he didn't want to deal with this kind of person, his tone was no longer as kind as just now, and he said imposingly: "Since Captain Liu doesn't want us to help, then let's go." I tell you, none of us saw the murderer, but we all had ears and brains. ”

Hearing Li Guolou's words choking, he was already scolding Liu Chengle for being a pig's brain, Lu Haikong's face turned pale and hurriedly came over to persuade him, and said: "In front of the two of you, don't lose the face of our criminal department, if you have something to say." ”

Liu Chengle laughed angrily, looked at Li Guolou, and said: "Little Lizi, I'm a big boss who talks like this, you don't give me face in front of so many brothers today, you wait and see." ”

Li Guolou retorted: "Yes, Captain Liu, didn't I see you like this in front of Lord Bao?" Why is it only deferential to the master, and as soon as he goes out, he reveals his true nature? ”

Liu Chengle was furious, he was tall and tall, and he was naturally temperamental, otherwise he would have been promoted with his qualifications. Hearing that Li Guolou was sarcastic about him again, he was angry and swung a fist to smash Li Guolou's door, this move suddenly attacked, and the criminals and colleagues who had been beaten by him had nosebleeds, and the bridge of the nose was broken by him.

With a distance of three feet face-to-face, he still shot at his colleagues, and Li Guolou did not expect such an ending. A huge fist had reached the door, Li Guolou's instinctive reaction was to dodge to the right, and the human body was attached to Liu Chengle instead.

Li Guolou's behavior was different from the reaction of ordinary people, ordinary people encountered this situation, dodged backwards, and fled from the other party's attack range. But Li Guolou did the opposite, because he had already gained experience in fighting, and the closer he got to the opponent, the more powerful the opponent would not be able to give full play, and even if he was hit in the face, it would not be very heavy. He wanted to make Liu Chengle taste a little bitter, although it was a big risk and a punch, but his attack was also very sharp, and his left leg knee bounced up and pushed it towards the opponent's vital point.

Liu Chengle was happy at first, his fist had already hit the other party, and no one could bear the iron fist, and then the crotch of his pants was pushed up by Li Guolou's knee, this feeling he had never tasted in his life, he screamed, covered his crotch with both hands, fell to the ground, and passed out.

Li Guolou wiped the blood flowing from the corner of his mouth and shouted: "Captain Liu, you have to find the right person in the future, next time I won't be so polite and let you be a eunuch in the next life." ”

The arrester and the official next to him hurriedly separated Liu Chengle and Li Guolou, although this is inside the shop, but there are also some people on the street who see it, arresting their own people to fight, or at the scene of the crime, how bad the impact is.

Liu Chengle couldn't get up for a while, and Lu Haikong hurriedly said: "What are you still doing in a daze, hurry up and find the adults, if you continue like this, this place will get out of control." He said: "Xiao Lizi, what's wrong with you today, you don't look good in the household department, I haven't said anything about you yet." It's even more lawless here, beating your own chief, you're turning the sky upside down, are you looking for a draw? ”

Li Guolou's handkerchief was covered with blood, and the appearance was very ugly, the blood in his nose and mouth had not stopped, pretending to be a victim, and said: "Lao Lu, it was Captain Liu who did it first, and I was beaten like this by him." You still protect the chief, so many brothers have seen it, it was Captain Liu who did it first, and now he is lying on the ground and pretending to be dead, I am bleeding profusely. ”

Liu Chengle's subordinates were usually beaten by Liu Chengle, although the captain Liu Chengle fell to the ground, making their team lose face. But now that there is no more situation, they have been persuaded to do so, and they dare not pick on Li Guolou.

When it was in chaos, Wu Defu led a group of officials to come, and after understanding what happened, Wu Defu looked at Liu Chengle, who was paralyzed in a chair, and said, "Captain Liu, don't you usually say that you are invincible in the criminal department?" Why did you plant it in the bench alley today? Stand up and fight again. Count yourself in legitimate defense, and then fight. ”

Liu Chengle is not as sinister as Wu Defu, his territory is near the yamen of the Criminal Department, and the law and order are usually very good, but there is no oil and water, the rules are very big, and there are a lot of mothers-in-law above. Today is a loss, and he is planted in front of Yao Cuo's team in front of his subordinates. The young Li Guolou was not taken seriously by him, he didn't expect that he was a sinister villain, and he would abolish his martial arts as soon as he made a move. How can you fight again now.

Liu Chengle said angrily: "Master Wu, it's me who is not good, I will do a review first when I go back, I should not beat the family of the deceased, and I will apologize to Steward Zhang later." ”

Wu Defu waved his hand and said, "Captain Liu, there is nothing for you here, go back to the yamen to write a review, let me go into the confinement room at night, and give me a good reflection on my words and deeds." ”

Liu Chengle lost face and lost face, and left the Biandan Hutong with the support of two subordinates, and walked with a limp, so that all the officials were silent, and they didn't dare to laugh out loud if they wanted to.

Wu Defu glared at Li Guolou angrily and said, "Little Lizi, don't think that if you get blood on a handkerchief, I will let you go, and I will go to the confinement room at night, it will not be your turn to come out here." ”

In front of the public, the chief should do things fairly, and Li Guolou was punished the same as Liu Chengle. Li Guolou hung his head with a disgraced face and bowed his head to admit his mistake.

Li Guolou lowered his head, looked at the bluestone floor, and said: "Master Wu's lesson is that I must reflect on it tonight, strive to get out of the confinement room as soon as possible, and be a new person, please see my next performance." ”

Fighting is the best thing to do to stand up, and the truth comes out from under the fist. If you have a strong fist here, you can get support, and those colleagues who usually look down on Li Guolou don't dare to make fun of him anymore. Some people are already ready to worship Li Guolou as a big brother, and change to a big brother, so it is good to have a good time in the Criminal Department. The officials and catchers next to him are secretly muttering, people can't be discognizable, and the fierce and terrible captain Liu Chengle will be planted in this alley, it seems that the bad luck in the flat dan alley is too heavy.

Wu Defu was dissatisfied with Li Guolou's words of apology, and said: "Little Lizi, things come one after another, you first atone for your sins and find out the murderer for me." Otherwise, you will be punished for several crimes, and you will be imprisoned for three days. ”

Li Guolou touched his nose and said aggrievedly: "Master Wu, my nose was broken by Captain Liu, and the chance of solving the case will be reduced by fifty percent, if you can't find the murderer, don't blame me." ”

Wu Defu said angrily: "I'll take care of your bird eggs, find me the bastard who shot the black gun, or I won't eat at night with another one." ”

Li Guolou was annoyed that Liu Chengle didn't know the hearts of good people, originally he wanted to help Liu Lecheng, but now his dog's nose was broken by Liu Chengle, I don't know if he can still smell the smell of the person who fired the black gun? Thinking of this, Li Guolou regretted why he didn't dodge backwards just now? Now that it has dragged on for so long, the smell of gunpowder on the person who fired the black gun is afraid that it will be even weaker, and his extraordinary talent is afraid that it will not come in handy.
