"Forty-two." The leader of the soldier squad raised his eyes to look at the corpses hanging from the trees under the eaves in the distance, "The last time so many people were killed in the execution ground, I heard that it was during the Manchu Qing Dynasty. ”

The little soldier next to him asked, "Also a pirate?" ”

"It's not." A fatter soldier said, "It's a revolutionary party, I heard that the revolutionary party had just returned from Hong Kong at that time, and as soon as they arrived at the Yongcheng wharf, they were arrested by officers and soldiers. ”

The little soldier nodded: "How many people have you killed?" ”

The soldier squad leader looked at the corpses in the distance: "More than this time." ”

The little soldier didn't give up: "How much is that?" ”

The soldier squad leader glared at him: "Why do you ask so much?" You don't know you can't say that in a place like this. ”

The little soldier stupidly asked, "Why?" ”

The fat soldier pressed his head and whispered in his ear: "It's a wronged soul who died in vain, if you talk about the past, the wronged soul will be angry, and you will come out to find trouble." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, a gust of wind suddenly hit the soles of several people's feet and blew under the campfire, causing the flames to rise violently, causing the three of them to take a step back.

The soldier squad leader pointed to the little man: "Look! Shut up! ”

After speaking, the soldier squad leader began to bow to those soldiers: "I am not the one who grabbed you, and it is not me who killed you. ”

The fat man and the little man also hurried to say the same thing.

After the soldier squad leader finished speaking, he took out a wine jug and took a sip, handed it to the fat soldier, and asked at the same time, "Huh?" Where did the three fat men go? ”

The little man also turned his head to look at the other side: "It's strange, Brother Dog, they're gone." ”

The fat man also turned to look in the other direction: "Those policemen are also gone." ”

The soldier squad leader grabbed the torch prepared next to him, lit it, and raised it: "Fatty, you come with me." ”

When the squad leader and the fat man wanted to leave, the little man also wanted to leave, but he was ordered by the squad leader: "You stay!" ”

The little man had to nod his head, holding the gun, and after the squad leader and the fat man walked away a little, the little man was nervous, and immediately pulled the bolt to prepare for the emergency.

The sound of pulling the bolt startled the squad leader and the fat man not far away, and the two turned to stare at the little man.

The little man immediately smiled awkwardly, but as soon as the smile appeared on his face, he froze because he saw a figure standing behind the squad leader and the fat man.

The little man immediately raised his gun, the squad leader and the fat man were startled, and subconsciously lay on the ground, and the squad leader shouted at the same time: "What do you want to do?" ”

In a blink of an eye, the figure disappeared, and the little man looked around, and ran to the squad leader and the fat man with a gun: "I saw a person." ”

The fat man and the squad leader immediately looked in the direction of the little man's eyes, but did not see anything.

"Do you see clearly?" The fat man also raised his gun and asked.

The squad leader also raised his gun: "You kid is not dazzled?" ”

The little man shook his head: "Absolutely not." ”

The three of them covered each other's blind spots, and walked slowly towards the location where they had seen the figure before, and when they reached the location where they saw the figure, the three of them could clearly see by the light of the torches that there was a pool of blood on the ground, and there were four trails of drag around the pool of blood, facing four different directions.

The squad leader looked down at the blood stains left on the ground because of the dragging, and found that there was a broken jade pendant in one of the traces, he picked it up and looked at it carefully, and then said: "It's the jade pendant of the three fat people, his mother left it for him, it's bad, something happened, let's go, go and see." ”

The three of them searched all the way along the bloodstains, and when they found a wall, the traces disappeared, and when the three of them wondered, the little man was startled as soon as he raised his eyes, and raised his hand to pull the squad leader's clothes, and at the same time raised his hand to point at the wall.

The squad leader held the torch high, and the light of the fire slowly spread from the corner of the wall to the wall, and then they could see clearly that the soldier called the three fat men was hanging upside down on the wall, his eyes widened, his face was terrified, and he looked like he was dead.

"Shoot! Call people! Seeing this, the squad leader immediately prepared to release the gun into the sky, and the moment he raised it, a black shadow suddenly pounced out of the shadows, throwing the little man directly into the alley, except for the sound of the rifle in the little man's hand falling to the ground, no sound was heard for a moment.

The squad leader and the fat man were stupid, and immediately stood back to back, aiming their guns at themselves, and patrolling the range of the semicircle in front of them left and right.

After a long time, the fat man finally asked in a low voice, "Squad leader, what is that?" Did you see that? ”

The squad leader's eyes fluttered in his sockets: "I saw it, I don't know." ”

The fat man asked again, "What about who?" Isn't it? Yes? Isn't it? ”

The fat man was a little uneasy to speak, the squad leader shook his head, the more he thought about it, the more frightened he became, and finally turned around and ran away.

The moment the squad leader ran out, the fat man was still stunned, and when he finally reacted to run, he realized that there was something standing behind him.

The moment the fat man turned around suddenly, he was directly swallowed by the black shadow.

After the squad leader who ran more than ten meters away realized that the fat man had not followed, he stopped and turned to look, and found that the fat man was still standing in place, standing there motionless.

The squad leader shouted, "Fatty, why are you still standing there?" Come here! ”

The fat man's body swayed slightly from side to side, like a candle flame swinging in the wind, which looked very weird.

The squad leader took two steps: "What are you doing?" ”

At this moment, the squad leader looked at the fat man and waved his hand at him, as if calling himself over.

The squad leader took two more steps: "Hey? ”

At this time, the squad leader finally saw clearly that the fat man was waving there completely with his back to him, and it seemed that something was grabbing the fat man's wrist and waving there.

The squad leader's eyes widened, and he pulled the trigger when he raised his gun, and after the bullet hit the fat man's body directly, the fat man fell directly to the ground.

When the fat man fell to the ground, the squad leader saw clearly that there was indeed a strange figure standing there, and the figure was also standing there and hooked his hand towards the squad leader, signaling him to go over.

The squad leader was frightened, turned around and ran, he didn't even have the strength to shout for help, he ran under a tree in one breath, and then he held his knees and gasped, and when he eased up a little, he saw two pairs of feet shaking in front of his eyes, and he raised his eyes to see several corpses hanging there.

"Ahh

Finally, the squad leader ran to the street, but at the same time, he also found that the so-called lights were just some white lanterns hanging around him at some unknown time, and next to those lanterns seemed to be standing people in black robes.

"Whew-" The squad leader felt someone exhale in his ear, and at that moment, his crotch was finally wet, and urine dripped directly down his thighs to the ground.

Immediately afterwards, the squad leader rolled his eyes and completely fainted.

●

Early in the morning, Qiu Gubo, who heard the news, rode to the old execution ground, and the soldiers on the periphery immediately stopped him with guns, and when Qiu Gubo was about to say something, Xin Guangyun walked out of the next room with his hands behind his back and shouted: "What are you doing?" This is the newly appointed guard platoon commander of the marshal, all respectful! ”

The soldiers immediately stood to the side and saluted.

Qiu Gubo dismounted and handed the reins to the soldiers next to him, Xin Guangyun also stepped forward and asked, "Qiu Yu, where is Director Qiu?" ”

"My dad will be here soon." Qiu Gubo looked at the execution ground in the distance, "What the hell is going on?" ”

Xin Guangyun didn't explain: "When Director Qiu arrives and I read out the letter of appointment, I will be in charge of you here." ”

Qiu Gubo was a little surprised: "Give it to me?" ”

At this moment, Qiu Yishan also rode over, dismounted and hugged his fists and said, "Secretary Xin." ”

Xin Guangyun said with a smile: "Director Qiu came just in time, I can read the letter of appointment now." ”

Although Qiu Yishan was a little unhappy, he immediately stood up straight and patted Qiu Gubo to make him hold his chest up and raise his head.

Qiu Gubo stood on the side, watched Xin Guangyun take out the letter of appointment and read: "The No. 76 Letter of Appointment of the Yongcheng Governor's Mansion of the Jiangsu-Zhejiang Protectorate Army, appointing Qiu Gubo as the commander of the guard platoon of the headquarters, and the first-level detective of the Yongcheng Police Department, Fu Guodong, the governor of the Jiangsu-Zhejiang Protectorate Army, September 20, the 14th year of the Republic of China. ”

After listening to this, Qiu Yishan hurriedly asked: "First-level detective?" The police department doesn't have this official title? ”

From top to bottom, the official titles of the Yongcheng Police Department are bureau chief, deputy director, chief inspector, detective and detective, chief inspector, 123 patrol and assistant investigation.

Originally, there was no position of detective, it was completely added by Qiu Yishan who was used to Qiu Gubo, to put it bluntly, it is the same as the detective, but because Qiu Gubo has always felt that the detective is better than the detective, so the official title of detective should be increased.

In all positions, inspectors below the chief inspector are not equipped with guns on weekdays, so the inspectors who patrol the streets on weekdays in the Yongcheng Police Department are all carrying sticks, and they are also nicknamed stick policemen.

However, the stick police are not the lowest level of police officers, the lowest level is those who assist in the investigation, because they all carry the armband of the word "assistance investigation" when performing their tasks, also known as armband police, and they are not even qualified to carry sticks.

"There was no first-level reconnaissance before, but now it is added." Xin Guangyun said with a smile, "The marshal said that the level of the first-level detective is the same as that of the deputy director, but even if it is the same as the level of the director, Director Qiu will not have an opinion, right?" What else do fathers and sons pay attention to? ”

Qiu Yishan hurriedly said: "Of course, of course." ”

Qiu Gubo looked at the execution ground in the distance: "Now I can go to the scene to investigate, right?" ”

Xin Guangyun stepped aside and said, "Of course, the marshal has already ordered that any difficult cases in Yongcheng will be handed over to you in the future." ”

Qiu Gubo, who was about to leave, paused: "It's just a difficult case, so what about a non-difficult case?" ”

Xin Guangyun smiled: "Qiu Yutan doesn't need to raise the bar with me on this sentence, right?" I'm just a secretary. ”

The implication of Xin Guangyun's words is obviously that Qiu Gubo can ask Fu Guodong if he has any questions.

Qiu Gubo didn't say anything, raised his feet and walked forward, but at this moment Xin Guangyun stopped him again.

Xin Guangyun handed over the letter of appointment: "Qiu Yutan, you forgot the letter of appointment." ”

"Thank you." After Qiu Gubo took the letter of appointment, he handed it to Qiu Yishan and walked forward quickly.

Qiu Yishan said with an apologetic smile: "He is still a child and is not sensible, Secretary Xin should not be surprised." ”

Xin Guangyun just stood there with his hands behind his back and smiled, without saying a word.
