Chapter Forty-Eight: The Whole City Searched and Dig

Li Mi naturally didn't know Song Zhiwei's thoughts, let alone knew that Jian Dingyong actually didn't want him to leave the county government, and "promoted" to the Torture Hall, after all, Li Mi was a talent discovered by Jian Dingyong, and he hesitated again and again before deciding to use Li Mi.

However, Li Mi proposed such a technique, and Song Zhiwei and other detectives in the torture hall did know the goods, and they suddenly felt like a treasure, so Jian Dingyong felt a taste in his heart.

However, even the prefect Chen Heguang favored Li Mi, and Song Zhiwei invited him, and he couldn't refuse.

It's just that he also knows that it is good to enter the torture hall, but the personnel relationship inside is complicated, Li Mi just became a fast catcher, and he rushed into it rashly, but he was afraid that it would be easy to break his head and bleed, if Li Mi was still smart, he should stay in the county government for a period of time to adapt.

Li Mi was concentrating on the case at this time, and after discussing with these detectives in the torture hall, he also gained a lot, at least he had a deeper understanding of the criminal investigation situation in this era.

The detectives of the Torture Hall are not ignorant of the existence of these details, in fact, they have been on guard, and they have been digging up these works.

On this basis, the data given by the detectives, through Li Mi's method, has been reduced to a greater extent on the map, so that the direction is right, the range is smaller, and the difficulty of the work is greatly reduced, and it is easier to clean these fine works!

Time was pressing, and Song Zhiwei couldn't help these subordinates to continue the seminar with Li Mi, and after getting the preliminary results, he issued an order, mobilized a large number of people, and began to conduct a dragnet investigation of the divided area!

In order to cooperate with the work, Song Zhiwei asked people from Changzhou County to come over, Wu County and Changzhou County have never dealt with each other, and open and secret battles are commonplace, so Jian Dingyong was also a little unable to sit still, and immediately returned to the county government to mobilize people to join the operation.

Li Mi is a fast catcher, to put it bluntly, he is running errands, but at the moment, he can't leave, because the torture hall still needs him to sit in the center, so how can he be asked to run errands.

Many members of the Torture Hall reported the situation to Li Mi at any time, and made coping strategies at any time, such as planning possible absconding routes and so on.

Song Zhiwei, as the commander, listened to Li Mi's opinions and suggestions, made corresponding decisions, and at noon, he really began to report back the results, and those who were arrested were all genuine Japanese cowards!

This news was also exciting, and the entire torture hall was a little boiling.

Since the Punishment Hall, the General Judgment Office, and the Tongzhi Office are all on the west side of the government office, not far from each other, the liveliness of the Punishment Hall has also attracted the attention of other branch offices.

It is a rule set by Emperor Taizu that the official is in charge of the punishment and does not prejudge other affairs, and later the work of auditing money and grain was increased.

As the official of Zhengyin, the prefect coordinates the overall situation, and the general judgment is in charge of the grain, and the Qing military craftsmen are in charge of the Qing Dynasty, and the second official of the left is like the Zhitong judge and the magistrate, etc., in addition to performing their duties, the same knowledge is also in charge of patrolling and the defense of rivers and seas, and the general judgment is also in charge of catching thieves, persuading farmers, repairing rivers and grazing horses, etc., and only the official is in charge of the punishment, even if there are other concurrents, it is only temporary.

It is precisely for this reason that in the government office, there can be several people in Tongzhi and Tongju, but there is usually only one magistrate, and the most important job is the criminal name.

Due to the special nature of the Torture Hall, it has also led to other branches being very jealous of the Torture Hall, and there are many open and secret battles on weekdays.

Suzhou Mansion has heavy affairs, and Tongzhi originally added two, but now only Huang Shiyuan is left in charge.

As a fellow intellectual, who is also in charge of patrol and coastal defense, it seems that the Japanese are doing such a thing, shouldn't it be his Huang Shiyuan's errand? Why didn't anyone support him? Could it be that the family of the Torture Hall can sit big and despise him?

Li Mi and the hall messengers were still busy, but they didn't know that Huang Shiyuan had been standing outside the door for a long time.

He didn't get angry, let alone take his men to fight, there was only a master-like long-term entourage by his side, who followed closely, raised his eyebrows from time to time, and looked at the hot punishment yamen gloomily.

He had already figured out that the reason why the Torture Hall was so fanfare was entirely because of Li Mi's little catcher!

If such a serious matter is related to the meticulous work of the Japanese Invaders, and even implicated in the conspiracy of the Japanese Invaders, shouldn't it be reported to the Tongzhi Yamen?

Although the Torture Hall also has the duty of arresting thieves, their main task is to be responsible for investigating and solving cases, arresting suspects, and trying cases.

The poor hall of the Punishment Hall also looked up and didn't look down, and soon someone recognized Huang Shiyuan, in this mansion, but anyone who underestimated this fat man's knowledge finally came to an abrupt end, and some people even thought that Chen Heguang was so low-key that he was suppressed by Huang Shiyuan!

Where did the museum dare to delay, and hurriedly reported in, Song Zhiwei was also slightly startled, and only then did he wake up, this matter did not greet Huang Shiyuan, it was indeed his dereliction of duty, if he took it seriously, it was possible that the entire operation would be transferred to the Tongzhi Yamen!

Originally, he just wanted to take Li Mi to see Chen Heguang and get permission to use the city defense map, but who would have thought that Li Mi and those pavilions would narrow down the scope of the Japanese to the market on the spot!

At the beginning, he issued an order to let the officials go to round up, but he just wanted to verify it, but he didn't expect to catch a quasi, since the action has been launched, there is absolutely no reason to give up halfway, otherwise it has been startled, and the remaining widows will hide or escape, and it will be difficult to catch it again!

This is like cooking oil on a blazing fire, and there is no way to stop, so that he forgot to say hello to Huang Shiyuan.

Of course, it is also because he can't grasp so many meticulous works, it is indeed a great achievement, which is more exciting than dealing with hundreds of trivial cases, and he really can't hold back in his heart, and he is unwilling to give up the credit to the Tongzhi Yamen, and make that wedding dress for the Tongzhi Yamen.

Facing Huang Shiyuan at this time, Song Zhiwei was also a little weak-hearted, but he did not hesitate on his face, and greeted him with a smile.

"Master Huang is here, it's really a long way to come, Song is trying to go over to find you."

Huang Shiyuan also smiled, and arched his hand: "I see that Lord Song is busy, and the entire four mansions are a little inseparable, but I don't know what Lord Song is still looking for this official to do?" ”

Huang Shiyuan's face was not sinister, but a little dazed, if he hadn't seen so many acquaintances being squeezed out with his own eyes, Song Zhiwei would really have to believe this obsessive Tongzhi.

"It's really ashamed to say it, there is a head catcher Li Mi in Wu County, and he inadvertently obtained a piece of information, the Punishment Hall according to the map, and sure enough, he caught a few Japanese Criminals, because he was worried that the Japanese Invaders had escaped, and Song did not have time to inform Lord Huang, so he began to arrest, and now he has captured nine fine workers, and the rest of the area has also laid a net, but the market is deep, and the Wolves are as cunning as a fox, and they want to catch them all, and the Punishment Hall is also not caught, and they want to hand it over to the adults to deal with this matter."

Song Zhiwei is also an old man in officialdom, this trick is called retreating as advance, first take the initiative to bear his own negligence, and then give up the credit in hand, even if Huang Shiyuan is thick-skinned, it is impossible to take this errand.

Sure enough, Huang Shiyuan smiled and said: "It turned out that I had arrested the Japanese and the cowards, and I said that the punishment yamen was so lively..."

"It is said that Lord Song's four yamen also have the responsibility of riot prevention and stability, and the long-term peace and stability of the Suzhou Prefecture are all maintained by the two of us, and Lord Song is also excusable, since it has begun, it should be done all the way, the official knows nothing about it, and rashly interfering is just adding to the chaos."

Song Zhiwei thought that Huang Shiyuan would pretend to prevaricate, and finally estimated that the two yamen would cooperate together to understand this matter, and it was a big deal to share the credit equally, but he didn't expect that Huang Shiyuan didn't have the slightest intention of interfering this time!

This made Song Zhiwei a little at a loss, and hurriedly said: "Lord Huang, this matter is very important, adults can't let it go, Song is still waiting for adults to help!" ”

When Huang Shiyuan heard this, he looked directly at Song Zhiwei, and saw that Song Zhiwei was a little weak-hearted, and there was a cold light in his eyes, which really made people unable to be at peace.

"Lord Song is at ease, the official doesn't dare to take away the beauty of others, this matter started because of you, since you should end it, this credit, the official has no face to share, Lord Song will do things with peace of mind."

When Huang Shiyuan said this, Song Zhiwei was really a little confused, and immediately blurted out: "Then why did the adults come here?" ”

Huang Shiyuan glanced at the Torture Hall, and didn't look at Song Zhiwei, but just smiled: "I just want to see how a small head catcher can work the entire Torture Hall, and the official is also very curious about people with such skills." ”

When Huang Shiyuan said this, he was a little provocative, and put all the credit on Li Mi's head, it sounded as if the entire torture hall had won such a credit because of Li Mi's ability.

Although this is the case, it is inevitably embarrassing to say it on the surface, but Song Zhiwei never thought about Li Mi's credit, and replied frankly at this time.

"This Li Mi is a talent, and he is indeed Qu Cai in Wu County, after thinking about this matter, Song transferred him to the Torture Hall, but I didn't expect Lord Huang to be so interested..."

Huang Shiyuan retracted his eyes at this time, and said to Song Zhiwei: "Lord Song, don't get me wrong, this official doesn't mean to rob people, he just wants to come and take a look." ”

Song Zhiwei was speechless for a while, I don't know what kind of medicine is sold in this Huang Shiyuan's gourd, since he didn't complain about jealousy of the torture hall, and he didn't come to grab credit, it was really a little difficult to guess.

But at this moment, the porter crawled in and reported to Song Zhiwei: "My lord, trouble is coming!" ”

Song Zhiwei couldn't help frowning, and the little guy came to his senses, hurriedly came over, and said in a low voice.

"The town guard eunuch Wang Mude has come in!"

Song Zhiwei's heart tightened, and when he looked up, Huang Shiyuan was sneering!
