Daniel Zhang is actually not a servant to be precise, he can only be regarded as a servant in Yamen at best, but he is from a family of fast catchers, his grandfather was a fast catcher in Yamen when he was young, and his father could not enter the scientific field because of the influence of his grandfather, so he took the old road and entered Yamen as a catcher.

Daniel Zhang's father went further than his grandfather on the road of catching fast, and after the previous head catcher died in the line of duty, he successfully took over the position, and then the position of the head catcher was passed to his generation as the second generation, which gave him a decisive voice in Fengxian County.

In such a big case as the robbery of Xiangfu Jindian, although the Yuelian News Agency successfully hid its hands and feet in front of the concession house, it could not really avoid the eyes of the local government, and it was not long after the case was discovered by Daniel Zhang who heard a hint of wind.

Although Daniel Zhang knew that the robbery of Xiangfu Jindian was the so-called of the Guangdong Associated Press, he did not report the news to the county to ask for credit, but directly found Sui Yongzhi, the leader of the Guangdong Associated Press, and bluntly told Sui Yongzhi to ask for half of the benefits.

Sui Yongzhi is also a well-known figure in Fengxian County, naturally unwilling to accept Daniel Zhang's blackmail like this, but the situation is stronger than people, Daniel Zhang is not only a public person, but also a local snake, if Daniel Zhang is bent on investigating, he will definitely be able to find clues, so even if Sui Yongzhi is unwilling, it is also worth accepting Daniel Zhang's blackmail.

Since Daniel Zhang asked for a price, Sui Yongzhi repaid the money on the spot, and after some bargaining, the two finally set the price of buying Ping An at 30% of the total value of the robbed gold ornaments, and it was precisely because of this that Daniel Zhang wanted to do everything possible to prevent Sun Wei from arresting the leader of the Guangdong Associated Press.

"Hahaha, if you are so tough, let's leave it to your county honor, Sun doesn't care about your life and death, because you don't have any value in front of me, I only care about whether the looted property can be recovered." Sun Wei glanced at this head catcher who was still unaware of the current situation with a kind of pity, and then said to Zhao Zhi, the head catcher of Shanghai County beside him: "Zhao Zhutou, you leave two people to take care of him, no one is allowed to let him go without my order, and the rest of the people are divided into eight squads to arrest the eight largest leaders of the Guangdong Associated Press in batches." ”

The robbery of Xiangfu Jindian was highly valued by the concession authorities, and the county magistrate of Shanghai County, fearing that there would be a mistake to provoke Lord Yang's dissatisfaction, specially mentioned the order when Zhao Zhi led people to Fengxian County, and asked him to obey Sun Wei's instructions, so Zhao Zhi heard Sun Wei's instructions and quickly replied: "Inspector Sun, don't worry, I will arrange it immediately." ”

Although there is an agreement between the concession and Shanghai Dao that all cases that cross the border must be handled by the local yamen, and the cross-border party can only be a guiding assistant, but in order to prevent accidents, Sun Wei still sent a group of smart disciples to Fengxian County as a monitor before the operation, and at the same time assigned a part of Sun Li's armed team to enter Fengxian County with pistols to provide fire support, so even if Zhao Zhi was unwilling to cooperate, he could solve the case alone, but the follow-up was a little troublesome.

Although the Yuelian Association belongs to the largest gang organization in Fengxian County, in view of the fact that the economic foundation of Fengxian County is too thin, and there are not many sources of income in its gangs, except for the relatively large house of Sui Yongzhi, the leader of the Yuelian Society, most of the other leaders are ordinary three tiled houses with a small courtyard.

Under the command of Zhao Zhi, the arresters sent by Shanghai County were divided into a team of five people and were responsible for following Sun Wei's disciples to capture the other seven leaders except Sui Yongzhi, while Zhao Zhi took more than a dozen arresters to Sui Yongzhi's house with Sun Wei to arrest Sun Yongzhi.

"Bang bang bang ......" Outside Sui Yongzhi's house, Zhao Zhi knocked on the door of his courtyard at the signal of Sun Wei.

"Who? Our lord has already rested, and he will come back tomorrow if he has something to do! A moment later, the door of Sui Yongzhi's house appeared behind the door.

"The county honored your lord and invited your lord to come to the court, and someone accused him of robbing the people's daughter overnight." Zhao Zhi said according to what Sun Wei had taught him.

"This dilapidated household, my lord took a fancy to his daughter is a blessing for their family, and even the dowry of the concubine was sufficient, I didn't expect this dog thing to have the courage to sue the county government, it's really impatient!" The excuse that Sun Wei taught Zhao Zhi was obviously not fabricated at will, and from the fact that the porter complained so arrogantly and unabashedly in front of the yamen officials, it can be seen how unscrupulous Sui Yongzhi was in Fengxian County.

"I'll talk about finding that dog thing to take revenge later, my county is still waiting for your lord to come over and ask questions, and please hurry up and report it." Zhao Zhi said softly.

"Wait a minute, I'll call my master." The porter said that he was about to leave with the lantern, but soon he turned back, and then asked Zhao Zhi outside the door: "No, I know all the officials of the Yamen, why haven't I heard your voice?" ”

"Uh......" Zhao Zhi thought that he had been fooled, but he didn't expect this concierge to be so alert, and then hesitated a little and explained: "I was originally a catcher in Shanghai County, but because I offended my boss, I was seconded to this place where birds don't, and I didn't even have a little oil and water." ”

"Since that's the case, please ask the official to ask an official I am familiar with to come forward and say something, otherwise I won't be able to explain to the master." Zhao Zhi's explanation still did not make the porter let go of his doubts, but became more suspicious.

"Okay, you wait." Zhao Zhi responded, and then asked Sun Wei in a low voice: "Inspector Sun, the people inside have become suspicious of me, what should we do next?" ”

"Go over the wall and get in!" Sun Wei replied without hesitation.

"Climb over the wall and get in?" Zhao Zhi looked at Sun Wei suspiciously, as if he wanted to see from Sun Wei's face whether he was joking.

"Yes, just go over the wall and get in! Since it has made the people inside suspicious, we don't have to hide it, and just take the ladder over the wall to get in! Sun Wei explained.

"Okay, Inspector Sun, I'll listen to you." Zhao Zhi said and went to the task of catching the fast behind him.

Most of the officials of the yamen are from the local ruffians, and climbing over the wall to get things is just a bag for them, and the courtyard wall of Sui Yongzhi's house is not too high, only about two meters, but a team of two can climb up smoothly.

"Official, are you still there, why don't you speak?" When the catchers in Shanghai County climbed over the wall, the gatekeeper in the courtyard suddenly asked.

"I'm here, and you'll know right away why I'm not talking." Zhao Zhi looked at the catcher who had already climbed over the wall and said.

"Official, what do you mean by this, I...... Who are you and what do you want to do? I...... The porter's words came to an abrupt end with a "woo-woo" sound, and then a catcher who turned over opened the gate of the courtyard.......

"Brothers, don't let any of the people inside go, arrest them all!" At the moment when the door was opened, Zhao Zhi ordered the catcher who was already waiting behind him.

"Yes!" With Zhao Zhi's order, the catchers rushed into Sui Yongzhi's yard like a tiger with an open gate.

Sun Wei looked at those wolf-like hunts, and couldn't find the shadow of the boss China at all, he didn't understand how such a fierce group of people could repeatedly suffer defeats in front of foreigners?

Is the weapon inferior to the man?

Apparently not!

Although Sun Wei did not know the real weapons and equipment of the Manchu army, he saw the list of weapons purchased by the imperial court from the foreign bank, indicating that the imperial army's army was not much worse than the foreigners in terms of weapons and equipment, and should at least be a little more advanced than the Thirty-year-old rifles that Japan still equipped a large number of, but the First Sino-Japanese War was lost by the imperial court whether it was at sea or on the road.

"Who are you, and why are you arresting us?" The catchers in Shanghai County are all good at catching people, and after a few moments of impact, they heard the sound of pushing, pulling and smashing, followed by the cries of women and children mixed with the reprimands of men.

"Sui Yongzhi, the leader of the Cantonese Associated Press, right?" Sun Wei walked in when Sui Yongzhi's family was under control, and then asked Sui Yongzhi, who was constantly resisting.

"I am Sui Yongzhi, which yamen are you from, don't you know that this is the seat of Fengxian County? I'm a brother with Zhang Zhutou in this county, you'd better get acquainted with me and let me go! Sui Yongzhi faintly felt that something might have gone wrong with what he had done when this group of strange catchers pressed themselves to the ground, but he was confident that this group of people could not find a place where they could hide their stolen goods, so he began to pretend to be stupid and stunned, trying to get by.

"I'm Inspector Sun Wei of the Public Concession, and it's the Shanghai County Catcher who arrested these brothers of yours, now you should know why we arrested you, right?" Sun Wei lowered his body and leaned in front of Sui Yongzhi and said.

"Although Sui is lonely and unheard, he has also heard of the name of Inspector Sun in the Public Concession, this is why Sui really doesn't know why Inspector Sun arrested me, if Sui has offended Inspector Sun in the past, he also asked Inspector Sun to draw out his way, Sui originally intended to bear it, I only hope that Inspector Sun will not harm my family." Sui Yongzhi pleaded half-truthfully.

"Sun is the inspector of the concession, and he has learned one thing in the concession for so many years, to act according to the law. Don't worry, we're not bandits, and we won't do anything to your family. Sun Wei said calmly.

"Inspector Sun, if you want to arrest me, at least I must know what crime I have committed, otherwise I will die unexplained like this, and I Sui Yongzhi will not be willing to be a ghost." Sui Yongzhi continued to plead.

"Okay, I'll let you die clearly!" Sun Wei straightened up as he spoke, and then said to the disciple who was in charge of guiding the way, "Yecheng, did I ask you to bring the things I brought for me?" ”

"Master Hui, I've already brought it." The person who had been leading the way in front was Gu Yecheng, who had not long returned from Nanjing, and then he asked people to bring in a large box, and when he opened it, there were some coils, instruments, wires and other things.

"Inspector Sun, what is this thing for?" Zhao Zhi looked at the box full of inexplicable things and asked.

"You said that these things, of course, were used to find the batch of stolen goods that Sui Yongzhi robbed." Sun Wei said as he bent down and began to tinker with the contents of the box.

"With these things, do they still have clairvoyance?" Zhao Zhi's tone was obviously a joke.

"You're right this time, these things do have clairvoyance, and I'm going to use their clairlight to see where the stolen loot is buried." Sun Wei said seriously.

"Inspector Sun, these things that are both ropes and threads actually have clairvoyant eyes, aren't you kidding?" Zhao Zhi didn't expect his joke to come true, and suddenly the whole person was a little messy.

"It's going to give you a clear explanation, but you'll find out later." Sun Wei had already assembled a lot of parts at this time, so he instructed the people next to him to lift these assembled parts out and spread them on the ground.

In terms of the current level of science and technology, it is obviously impossible to make a sensitive and small metal detector, so in order to ensure the sensitivity of the metal detector, he directly manufactured the world's first metal detector into a giant Mac, equipped with a large coil, a large number of dry batteries, the most sensitive ammeter and an ultra-long wire.

"You two come here, carry this thing and walk in front, use this circle to get close to the ground, I say stop and you stop, and if you don't stop, you keep walking." After assembling the metal detector, Sun Wei called over the two nearest catchers and asked them to carry the detector's coil and search it carpet.

After the catcher of the coil was in place, Sun Wei handed over the heavy dry battery to the third catcher, while he himself only held a small ammeter.

"Alright, let's go!" After all the preparations were made, Sun Wei turned on the power and began the first ever metal detection.

Sui Yongzhi's house is not like a large family built one after another, the whole house only has a row of houses, the front of the house is the front yard, the back yard, compared with the front yard covering an area of one acre, the back yard is not only narrow, but also has a well.

Sun Wei first probed Sui Yongzhi's front yard, the detector started from the root of the wall on one side, and searched every part of the yard inch by inch, and finally the detector's ammeter showed a little fluctuation under a big tree after sweeping half of the yard.

"Stop!" When the ammeter of the detector swayed from side to side and calmed down, Sun Wei shouted to stop the three catchers who continued to move forward, then walked under the tree and stepped on it, and said to Zhao Zhi: "Zhao Zhutou, find someone to dig up the place where I am standing." ”

"You can't dig it, it's our own money!" When Sun Wei shouted to stop, Sui Yongzhi raised his heart, and now when he heard that Sun Wei was going to dig up the place under the tree, he immediately objected fiercely, if it wasn't for the fact that the catcher who was pressing him had already tied him up, maybe he really broke free.

"You two go and dig up that place according to Inspector Sun's instructions!" Zhao Zhi saw Sui Yongzhi's affection and knew that there must be a big discovery this time, and when he ordered to catch and dig quickly, he also followed him to Sun Wei and exclaimed: "Inspector Sun, you are really a god, I didn't expect that your magic weapon really has a perspective eye!" ”

"Now you've seen how powerful it is, right?" Sun Wei said a little ostentatiously.

"Zhao has really seen a lot this time, I didn't expect that there is such a powerful magic weapon in the world, if it is spread out, it will really cause a sensation in the whole of Shanghai." Zhao Zhi exclaimed. (To be continued.) )
