Xia Xiaoqing glanced back and forth in the room and asked the girl, "What's wrong with your eyes?" ”

"There is a haze in my eyes, and I can't see anything." The girl replied.

There is no furniture at home, just a cupboard, a dining table, can't hide things, and there are no traces of secret passages on the ground and walls, Xia Xiaoqing confirmed that the stolen goods are not here, pushed the door out, and saw that the neighbors all over the yard came out, looking at him in fear.

"Sir, Yan Daxia is a good person." An old man said tremblingly, and immediately a group of people followed.

Xia Xiaoqing frowned and said, "Did he buy pork for you?" ”

The old man said: "Not only did I buy pork, but also white noodles, soybean oil, firecrackers, and dim sum." ”

Xia Xiaoqing said in his heart that this Yan Qingyu is really cunning, last time he found a group of people called Huazi to deceive himself, this time he spent a small favor and asked these poor people to intercede with him, so that he would not be fooled.

"Yan Qingyu is a snitch, a key criminal arrested by the government, who knows where the money he stole is hidden? Say it, and there will be a reward. Xia Xiaoqing said loudly.

No one answered her.

"If he is found to be harboring stolen money for him, but it is a serious crime, everyone has a number in their hearts, so let's disperse." After Xia Xiaoqing finished speaking, he left the courtyard.

……

Yan Qingyu, a panicked thief in the provincial capital, was finally caught on the eve of the Spring Festival, and every household breathed a sigh of relief, and the police department sent capable detectives to interrogate Yan Qingyu, wanting to get up all the stolen money and goods he stole from, but this guy has a surprisingly hard mouth, and the big punishments such as tiger bench pepper water have been exhausted, so he just doesn't spit out.

The stolen high-ranking families went to the police department to inquire about the news, and the gift trust relationship went to the door, wanting to get back the money and things they had lost, and the police department was under great pressure to solve the case, so they had to punish Yan Qingyu again.

In the basement of the detention center, there is a red-hot stove, a few soldering irons stuck in coals, and various torture instruments hanging on the wall.

Yan Qingyu was escorted in, he was wearing a special iron vest, riveted to death with rivets, and he couldn't take it off at all, his hands were copper cuffs imported from the United Kingdom, and his feet were a pair of thirty-pound shackles, and blood had been ground out of his feet and neck.

Although it is a cold winter wax moon. The basement is still extremely hot, the big men in charge of the torture are all naked, revealing their tendons, Yan Qingyu is tied to an iron chair, a thin old man in his fifties walked over, and said with a smile: "Boy, the Jiangyang thieves abolished under my hands are at least double digits, you are not enough to see, the acquaintances hurry up, we can all live in peace and survive this year, otherwise ......"

"What else?" Yan Qingyu asked with a smile.

"If you're still stubborn, don't blame my men for being ruthless." As the old man spoke, he slowly opened a sheepskin bag, revealing dozens of sharp knives, chisels, saws, hooks, needles, pliers, skewers and other tools, flashing with a ghostly light, which was terrifying.

"Tell me, where are all the money and treasures you stolen?" The old man took out a sharp iron skewer and rubbed it with a white cloth.

“Noway。” Yan Qingyu spat on a mouthful of bloody saliva.

The old man was a little puzzled.

"This is a foreign language, what you don't understand, even the meaning of the door." Yan Qingyu smiled and raised her head proudly, "Go to punishment, your eyelids are wrinkled, they are not from the Yan family in Cangzhou." ”

The old man suddenly realized: "It turned out to be a member of the Yan family in Cangzhou, no wonder the light martial arts method is so good, but the Yan family has a scum like you, and the ancestors have no virtue." ”

Yan Qingyu said: "Don't talk nonsense, it's slippery, if you have any tricks, just let the horse come." ”

The old man said: "To deal with the snitch, I have four tricks, you listen to me and tell you slowly." ”

"Say it, this hero listens."

"First, pick your hamstrings so that you can't jump, second, wear a steel wire on your pipa bone to make your arm unable to move, and third, use pliers to pull out the nails of your ten fingers, and from then on, your fingers can't be used, and your kung fu is useless."

"And the fourth trick?" Yan Qingyu blinked, as if she was a little scared.

"The fourth trick is specially prepared for a handsome offspring like you, draw seventeen or eighteen lines on your face, and form a red and thick scar, which is guaranteed to be more terrifying than a ghost."

Yan Qingyu suddenly panicked: "Uncle, it's okay to discuss, let's change to something else, such as a soldering iron or something, put it on your body with a red burn, it's more enjoyable, don't move those small knives and pliers, it's boring." ”

The old man laughed, and the shirtless men also laughed with their arms crossed.

"Now I regret it, it's too late, press him." The old man asked Yan Qingyu to hold down his leg, pulled out a cold and shining blade, pinched two at the ankle, confirmed the position of the hamstring, and was about to go under the knife.

Suddenly, the iron door of the basement opened, and someone shouted: "Minister Chen has arrived, Director Zeng has arrived." ”

The old man and the big man hurriedly stood upright, and saw Chen Zikun and Xia Xiaoqing walking in accompanied by Zeng Jiao, and the smell of blood in the torture room made them both cover their noses.

"When Mai Zilong was in power, he killed a lot of *** by torture here, and this place is not very clean." Zeng Jiao said softly.

Chen Zikun nodded, and stepped forward to look at Yan Qingyu: "You are the snitch?" ”

Yan Qingyu regained his vigor and said, "No, to be exact, I am a thief and a Robin Hood. ”

Chen Zikun smiled: "You are quite knowledgeable. ”

Yan Qingyu said: "Naturally, this hero has learned both Chinese and Western languages and can speak English from eight countries." ”

Chen Zikun looked at him with eyebrows and eyes that looked quite like Xiaobei, walked up to Xia Xiaoqing and whispered, "Didn't you realize that he looked like our son?" ”

Xia Xiaoqing said: "I also wonder, it's quite similar, even if it's a cousin, it shouldn't be like this, wait for me to ask him." ”

stepped forward and picked Yan Qingyu's chin: "Let me ask you, what is your father's name, and who is your mother?" ”

Yan Qingyu said with a smile: "Heroine, let's meet again, I've been waiting for you to ask, my father is Yan Huaide, the head of the Swallow Sect." ”

Xia Xiaoqing is even more strange, it turned out to be the uncle's child, when I was a child, I heard my mother say that the uncle was bitten off by a wild dog when he was a child**, it is impossible to have offspring, this is an extremely secret thing, outsiders will never know, could it be that this Yan Qingyu is fake? But his appearance is clearly inseparable from the Yan family.

"And who is your mother?"

"My mother died in childbirth when she gave birth to me." Yan Qingyu was gloomy for a while.

Xia Xiaoqing nodded at Chen Zikun, indicating that he had finished asking.

Chen Zikun said: "You can continue. ”

The old man picked up the knife again, and came over with a cruel smile, Yan Qingyu was anxious: "Don't move the knife, I'll move, I can't move." ”

It turned out that the things he stole were hidden in the bell tower in the center of the provincial city, where people came and went, it was very prosperous and lively, and no one would have imagined that there were stolen goods.

The National Police Agency quickly dispatched officers to pick up the stolen goods, a large number of gold watches, jade, antiques, calligraphy and paintings, all kinds of jewelry, but there was not much cash, and the strangest thing was a slip printed with foreign characters, and no one knew what was written on it.

The stolen goods were quickly handed over to the police department, and at this time, Chen Zikun and Xia Xiaoqing were drinking tea in the director's office, and everyone took turns to hold the slip to read, and no one knew the foreign language on it.

"It seems to be in German, a receipt for advance payment from a hospital in Shanghai." Chen Zikun also doesn't know German, but he is proficient in English, French and Russian, and he can guess seven or eight points if he guesses, "The advance payment is a thousand oceans, and this surgery is very technical." ”

Xia Xiaoqing immediately thought of the blind girl and asked Chen Zikun to find a translator who could speak German to look at it, and sure enough, it was a receipt from a German private eye hospital in Shanghai.

"That's it, this Yan Qingyu, although he is a Jiangyang thief, he also has a chivalrous heart, Zikun, see if you can ......" Xia Xiaoqing's sons and daughters of the rivers and lakes had no legal concepts in their minds, so they began to plead.

Chen Zikun said: "The circumstances are extenuating, the crime is unforgivable, no one can cover up his crime of stealing, submit it to the court for judgment, attach this receipt, and let the judge dispose of it at his discretion." ”

Xia Xiaoqing said: "His nature is not bad, but it's a pity that he went astray, this light skill has been practiced hard for at least twenty years, and it's a pity to abolish it." ”

Chen Zikun said: "Anyway, it's also my cousin-in-law, don't you take care of this yet, Zeng Jiao, you don't need to be tortured anymore." ”

With Minister Chen's words, Yan Qingyu's life was much better, she lived in a single cell with sunlight, and the shackles were also wrapped with strips of cloth to prevent grinding the skin and flesh.

People often come to visit this snitch, at first it was the common people in the slums who had received Yan Qingyu's favor and the beggars who lived in the tribute courtyard, and then there were many young ladies from arrogant families who came to visit in cars, one was more beautiful than the other, one was rich, and he didn't come empty-handed, he had all the wine, food, snacks, cigarettes, and clothes, Yan Qingyu was very bold, these things were used to bribe the guards, everyone smoked his three-fort cigarettes, and scolded this kid for being a good man, while praising him for being a man.

The Spring Festival of 1931 came, the Fenglin Road Mansion was full of lights, very lively, the Chen family reunited, happy and happy New Year, on this festive day, the three ladies were very face-saving, at least on the surface they were very harmonious, Xiaobei and Yan'er, the two brothers and sisters, were even more excited, holding hands to watch the fireworks under the corridor.

was celebrating the New Year happily, when suddenly Zeng Jiaolong came in a hurry and reported that Yan Qingyu had escaped from prison.

"I shouldn't have come to disturb the minister, but Yan was captured by his wife herself, and I was afraid that he would come to retaliate, so I came to report it."

Chen Zikun said: "How did you let him run away?" ”

Zeng Jiao said: "The ghost knows, this kid is so godlike, he suddenly disappeared, and there is no trace of damage to the doors and windows of the cell." ”

Chen Zikun suddenly thought of something: "Hurry up and call back to see if there is anything missing in your office?" ”

Zeng Jiao immediately used Chen's phone to call back, on Chinese New Year's Eve, there were few people on duty in the police department, it was easy to find people, and when I went upstairs, sure enough, the director's office was turned into a mess, and it was not clear what was lost for a while.

"I know what's missing, that hospital receipt, Xiaoqing, you immediately lead the team with Director Zeng to the place where Yan Qingyu was captured last time, only then can you catch him."

Everyone took action, and it was too late to arrive at the place, and the blind girl had been picked up by Yan Qingyu.
