In the yamen detention room of the Criminal Department, Li Guolou, as usual, watched the file, Wu Defu was like stopping water, and the documents were written. The two have no language communication, they get along well in the room, and the case is handed over to the inner hall, and there are always some eyebrows that can be investigated. Most of the vast dossiers are a dead corpse without a head, and what can be told about the nameless corpse dug up in the wilderness?

Li Guolou opened his mouth and said, "Master Wu, these cases should have been done by a group of people. Is that right? ”

Wu Defu stopped writing, looked up and said, "Yes! The dossier I'm showing you today is all of the same type, what loopholes did you find out from them? ”

Li Guolou frowned slightly, and said contemplatively: "The dead bodies are all young women, but most of them have not been claimed, and no one has come to report the case, their identity should be people like secret prostitutes, and no one cares about how many such people die." They had also been tortured by criminals in front of them, and their hearts and spleens had their bodies cut out, which should have been done by people who believed in cults. Judging from the place where the corpse was abandoned, the criminal must have a tool for hiding the corpse, most likely a carriage, which means that there are at least two criminals, or rich people. I can't find anything now, so the next time the criminal commits a crime, let me go and check the scene of the crime. Wu Defu looked up at the bright window and said: "I have inserted a few people into the cult, but there are no clues yet, judging from the clues we have, it is very likely that people who believe in foreign cults did it, and the people of the Great Qing Kingdom used to only use boys and girls to worship the heavens, and did not use unclean women as priest supplies, and those ethnic minority priests did not need to secretly prostitute, they all used virgins." If this case involves foreigners, it will be troublesome. ”

Li Guolou smiled and said: "Master Wu, you want to be crooked again, if foreigners believe in cults, they will be burned to death by Catholicism." If it is really a foreigner, it would be good, I am afraid that the people of our Qing Empire believe in a cult, what if it is a big official? ”

Wu Defu pursed his lips and said, "Xiao Lizi, you also want to be crooked, do those big officials have personal freedom?" They want to do bad things, and they don't have a chance! It's still the work of those who have nothing to do when they're full, the next time there is such a case outside the city, I'll introduce you to a master who tracks footprints, and the common people lost their horses and mules, and he found them. ”

Li Guolou nodded and said, "Oh, I've heard of this person, it's a Mongolian, right?" ”

Wu Defu smiled slightly and said: "Well, it's a strange old man, I don't like to stay in the city, I will introduce you to you in the future, he was also very good at fighting when he was young, this is not a cripple with one hand." ”

Li Guolou said angrily: "I'm not following orders yet, it's your orders." ”

Wu Defu played a scoundrel and said, "Is there one? I don't seem to have said a word. ”

Li Guolou slandered in his stomach, the real boss is like this, he doesn't need to give orders directly, he gives instructions through others, even if the case is reported, don't want to testify against him on the spot.

Li Guolou stroked a pile of files and said, "It's better to do the right thing, is there any ready-made case for me to handle?" ”

Wu Defu replied: "Aren't you handling the theft of the treasury of the household department? With such a big case in place, what else do you want to do? ”

Li Guolou was annoyed, spread his hands, and said: "In such a big case, which Manchurian can I interrogate, you will give me a clear point." I sent out all the people, but I couldn't dig the foot of the wall, and I couldn't find the stolen 150,000 taels of silver. Now it's not like ancient times, the silver is hidden at home, the times are advancing, the silver is going to the bank, where can I find it? ”

How could Wu Defu not know the power struggle behind the case of the loss of money in the treasury, the people in their criminal department are all people who are related to Yu Shuzhen, the secretary of the household department, and this case can only help Yu Shuzhen, not dismantle Yu Shuzhen's platform. That is, to offend the many Manchurians of the household department, the prospects are not optimistic.

Wu Defu smiled bitterly: "Xiao Lizi, take your time in this case, we also have to negotiate with Master Yu, torture and extortion of confessions are things that must not be done, if you have any good ideas, you can also talk about them." ”

Li Guolou said: "Master Wu, I'm still a newcomer, how do you know that there are cats in the officialdom, there are no tricks, you still think about it yourself." ”

Wu Defu pressed his hands on the desk, stood up and said, "It's better to take your time, let Master Bao and Master Yu communicate well, and then we can take action." We, the shrimp soldiers and crab generals, were kicked into the quagmire by them with one kick, and we didn't want to die ugly, so we could only sit in the well and watch the sky. ”

Li Guolou gritted his teeth and said: "I will also take on small cases, staying in the yamen, it's too boring." ”

Wu Defu said angrily: "Okay, you little plum, do you mean that being with me is a boring thing?" I'll lock you up for another three days. ”

Li Guolou hurriedly changed his face, pasted it with kind eyebrows, became Wu Defu's entourage, poured water and poured tea, and started from the bottom first······

Li Guolou happily left the detention room, and today he got a small case, "Fang's Theft Case", whether it is a case, it is better than no case, and it is better to go out for a walk than to sit still. He is very active and quiet, but he still likes the outside world and stretches his ambitions.

Li Guolou returned to the Tianzi Compound, the atmosphere here was different from the past, the people standing guard and guarding, checking at all levels, everyone walked with a straight waist. Yao Cuo goes out early and returns late every day, is full of enthusiasm for work, and has a bit of a taste of re-entering the rivers and lakes.

Li Guolou could no longer leave the yamen as he wanted, so he first went to report his work progress to Yao Cuo, and then reported clearly what he wanted to do, so he handed over the written documents.

Yao Cuo stroked his beautiful beard and said in a long voice: "Well, Xiao Lizi has been doing well this time, sit down and talk." ”

Li Guolou stood straight and said that he had worked for half an hour, so that he was qualified to be on an equal footing with Yao Cuo. This is the rule, every line to make progress, there must be an iron rule. Nowadays, the entire Yamen of the Criminal Department belongs to the Tianzi Brigade with the best style, the most energetic people, and everyone is radiant and shows their talents. secretly shared the most silver, so there was motivation, everyone bowed to Yao Cuo's feet, and no one dared to be a thorn.

Here is not to talk about private matters and Tianzi number matters, Yao is wrong to do business, open the door to get down to business, and his upright expression makes Li Guolou feel that the eldest brother Yao is wrong to a realm.

Li Guolou was still a little dissatisfied, and said, "Captain Yao, please put the gold chain of the pocket watch inside, and don't show it." When have you ever seen those big officials wearing gold pocket watches, **with simplicity, it is the way to be an official. ”

Yao Cuo stroked the gold chain on his chest a few times, a little reluctant, but he felt that what Li Guolou said made sense, unbuttoned the corset, and sighed: "Little Lizi, then you said that I usually have to change the action of taking out my pocket watch to look at the time?" ”

Li Guolou smiled, took out a pocket watch, and said, "I bought a cheap pocket watch, Captain Yao, you usually wear this." ”

Yao Cuo was extremely dissatisfied, and said angrily: "Doesn't that make me lose my share? Why are you usually dressed in a dress, it's not fair? ”

Li Guolou shook his hand and defended: "Hey, Captain Yao, I was dressed like everyone else in the yamen, and I changed my outfit when I went out." You are different, the chief wants to ask you for a meeting, and when you accidentally take out your pocket watch to check the time, the chief above will see it, and he will ask you for it, which is for your good. ”

Yao thought about it, but it made sense, good things are all about filial piety to the chief, how can you have it for yourself, picked up the cheap pocket watch, and said: "Well, it makes sense, I have seen some people wear two pocket watches, it turns out that this is the truth." I also wear two pocket watches, so I learned to keep them hidden. ”

Li Guolou shook his head and sighed, the eldest brother Yao Cuo still wants to show his status, and now the man is no longer looking at the string of pearls hanging on his chest, but learning from foreigners, looking at how much the pocket watch is worth? Keeping pace with the times, the atmosphere of the Qing Empire became more and more foreign.

Yao Cuo glanced at it and said, "Come to my house for dinner in the evening, has Master Wu told you?" ”

Li Guolou also pursed his lips and said: "He is a dog-headed military advisor, he doesn't say anything, you know the reason." ”

Yao Cuo sneered twice, and said, "Yin people, it's good to know, that eagle gripper Zhao Yao also came at night, do you know?" ”

Li Guolou nodded slightly and said, "Then the land, sea and air, the clouds and the wind are coming?" ”

Yao mistakenly said: "Don't you come to do it?" The next big battle depends on everyone's concerted efforts, the meat is given to them first, and then the things are not good, don't blame me for being ruthless. ”

Li Guolou glanced at Yao Cuo, and his heart sank, and his terrified hairs stood on end. The eldest brother Yao Cuo and the second brother Wu Defu are about to open a knife on their subordinates, they are timid and don't have much ability to do things, they just rely on nepotism to rise to the second team, and if they don't perform well, they will get rid of this burden. If you want to eat all the underworld and white, you must also have the ability, and if you want to eat the ending of ready-made meals, you will be disliked. The terrible Wu Defu, the team has just formed, and it will be reorganized, and the land, sea and air will not show it again, and they will still be mixed in the crowd like in the past, and there is only a dead end. And maybe it's still the knife, the kind of thing he can't do anyway.

Li Guolou blurted out and said, "Captain Yao, don't look for me!" ”

Yao Cuo said angrily: "Don't be smart, just shut up for me." It hasn't happened yet, it's up to providence. Got it? ”

Li Guolou didn't dare to sit on the seat, rose from the ground, stood up and saluted: "It's Captain Yao, I will definitely obey the order." ”

Yao Cuo looked at Li Guolou with satisfaction, squinted his eyes, it was this young man who made him regain his fighting spirit. The perfect start, the successful team combination, there is no mistake so far, the snow-white silver has rolled in, his territory has expanded, and good days are just around the corner. Next, he has to expand his territory, the ambition to kill has already sprouted in his heart, and he also has to stain his hands with the blood of the gangsters, so that he can gain a foothold in the capital division and start a comprehensive war with the gangs, and he will command it with one hand.

Yao Cuo said meaningfully: "Xiao Lizi do a good job, the Dizi compound should be yours in the future, and we will work together to govern the Jingshi without leaving any stone unturned." ”

Li Guolou straightened his chest and said: "It all depends on the cultivation of the chief, and I must keep it in my heart in the future, this is my root." ”

Li Guolou left Yao Cuo's office, still a little nervous in his heart, originally he thought that his move was fast, but he didn't expect that Wu Defu's pace was also very fast, and a war with the gang was imminent. The Spring Festival is coming soon, God bless you with peace and quiet, everything will happen again after the Spring Festival.
