Tang Lu asked the chiefs to bring back the gold they had sent, and the chiefs were surprised.

After listening to the words of Master Assassin Shi, I felt that it made sense, and bribery was also a crime.

No one is afraid to be held accountable, and this responsibility is not small. In the final analysis, Lord Assassin Shi is also an official of the imperial court, and he has the right to do so, if he is held accountable, no one will be able to escape.

Besides, gold is indeed harmful to people, and for this bit of gold, it is not cost-effective to kill people or hurt people, because if people are alive or healthy, they will have money, and if they die or are injured, they will not only not make money, but they will also spend money.

As soon as this account is calculated, everyone understands that no matter which side is killed or injured, it is a loss. Everyone comes from their own family, and the death or injury of one person is not a matter of one person, it is the business of the whole family, and everyone will be sad and sad.

People are not livestock, and livestock are killed and injured, and it makes people sad, not to mention people. People have feelings, they don't want their relatives to be separated, and casualties are huge traumas for people that cannot be healed for a long time.

Thinking about this, the chiefs came to an agreement that they would no longer be jealous, hateful, and robbed of the amount of gold, and that the place of Sikkim would be quiet, peaceful, peaceful, and complement each other.

Tang Lu was valued by the imperial court because of this matter, and his promotion was not a problem, and his status was second only to Yin Jian, that is, Dali Temple, Tang Lu was the right Shaoqing of Dali Temple, and Bu Huishu was the left Shaoqing of Dali Temple, and he was the emperor's teacher, that is, the emperor's teacher. Let's not talk about it for now, but that's a later story.

Besides, Jin Shan of Dengcheng was sitting idle reading a book, when someone suddenly came to report and said, "The governor has lost his belongings and hopes to help find them." ”

When Jin Shan heard this, he panicked and hurriedly asked, "Where did you lose it?" ”

Why did Jin Shan panic? The governor had lost his belongings in Dengcheng.

What is it exactly?

It is a large box of gold, silver, pearls, gemstones, and agate, ready to celebrate the birthday of the old man. Passing through Dengcheng, I felt that Dengcheng was very safe and there were no cases of theft, so I was very relieved and relaxed my vigilance. Who knew it would happen. The governor asked someone to bring a message to Jin Shan and said: "In order to hurry, the stolen treasure must be recovered within three days, and the birthday of the old man must not be delayed." Arrive by that date, or it will be very dangerous. Whether you can keep your official hat depends on whether you can solve the case and recover the birth gang. ”

When Jin Shan heard this, he was a little anxious.

I just heard that Tang Lu was also promoted to the capital and was promoted to the right Shaoqing of Dali Temple. This official position is very high, and if you want to get through it, you have to get in touch with him.

Jin Shan knew that Tang Luken was willing to help.

However, it was definitely too late to invite him, and three days was too little.

He wanted to just do it himself. What if the case is solved? Isn't this another turn of danger into a disaster? What's the hard case you haven't experienced?

Without further ado, Jin Shan quickly ordered the arrest to go to various places to find the thief.

But there were no leads, and there was no progress in the case.

Jin Shan thought to himself, Dengcheng is an open city, and business travelers from all over the world come to usher in the send-off, bustling and very complicated. However, on the surface, there is nothing out of the ordinary, and on closer inspection, there are still quite a few things worth noting.

"You're going to see if there's been a happy event lately? If so, report it quickly. Jin Shan commanded.

He is very clear that there are many problems that can be seen from the red and white ceremonies.

Especially during the Qingming Festival, there are more stories happening.

Sure enough, the officials noticed that there were probably dozens of Hu people who went to sweep the graves.

aroused their suspicions. If you want to say that tomb sweeping is the activity of the Han people on the Qingming Festival, why do the Hu people also have it? Sure enough, as Jin Shan said, there was an abnormality.

They kept an eye on the group's movements.

So he arranged to follow this group of people to Nanshan to sweep the grave.

I saw them stop in front of a new grave on the slope of Nanshan Mountain, and then take out the sacrifices one by one, place them in front of the tomb, then light incense and candles, burn the paper money, and then cry and howl in front of the tomb. However, it can be heard that this kind of crying is not really sad and desperate crying, but dry howling.

Hurry up and report to Jin Shan.

After listening to the report, Jin Shan said, "Is there anyone else at the scene?" ”

"And."

"Wait a minute."

After a while, another catcher came back, saw Jin Shan, and said, "My lord, I saw just now that the group of Hu people were wearing filial piety clothes and white scarves, and they were engaged in a memorial ceremony. ”

"How did they do it?"

"My lord, after the memorial service, they went around the tomb in a circle, and howled as they went around in circles, and some of them laughed, yes, the little ones saw it clearly, and they were indeed laughing. The little one is very puzzled, if it is the death of their own relatives, they should be sad and painful, it can be seen that they are not only not sad about the death of their relatives, but very happy. ”

"Okay, you've done a great job! Observe carefully! That's right, this group of people is not really doing funerals, not real memorials, they are selling dog meat on the head of sheep, they are thieves, they are thieves, and the treasure of the governor is stolen by this group of people. They are a den of thieves. Jin Shan said.

"My lord, what's next?"

"You all go, tie up that group, and then open the coffin, and see what is inside, and bring people and things, and the judge will try them." Jin Shan commanded.

Catch quickly and go with the officials, arrest all the people, control them, and then open the coffin, there are no dead people in it, all clothes, open the clothes and see, it is a big box, open the box and see, it is full of pearls, gold, silver, agate, jade, etc., I didn't say, these things were brought to the county government together with the Hu people.

The governor was overjoyed to hear that his wealth had been recovered.

"You're really good! I didn't expect to solve the case so quickly! You really are a genius in solving crimes! What method do you use? How do you know that they are thieves? The Governor asked.

"Nothing, just observation."

"How to observe?"

"Look closely!"

"Tell me more."

"If you lose your belongings, someone must have succeeded. Since he succeeded, he would definitely find a way to transfer the stolen goods. So they set up defenses in various places, and made secret visits to find the stolen goods. When someone goes out of the city to bury the dead, they are generally not stopped, because the dead are large, which gives convenience to the thieves. So the coffin was suspected. There must be an article in the coffin, but it can't be broken, so it can only be observed secretly, so the arresting officer was sent to follow up and see where the group went to be buried. ”

"And then?"

Then I found out where they were buried in the coffin. They returned. ”

"Then why didn't they run away overnight?"

"Because the wind is not tight, and if the wind is tight, they will flee, and in order not to scare them away, they must take gentle measures."

"What a gentle means."

"It means that all suspicious subjects are interrogated without violence."

"It's hard to do."

"Yes, if it is done, it will be successful, and gentle interrogations are more effective than violent interrogations. Give it a try. ”

"So, during interrogation, you rarely use torture tools, right?"

"Yes. Generally, no. Only after the sentence is sentencing, when it is necessary to move the sentence, the torture instruments are used, such as hitting the board, and they are used. Not elsewhere. Jin Shan said.

"Oh, I see, so what's wrong with them?"

"They don't look like dead people, carrying coffins out of the funeral, there are no sad and painful expressions, and there are even people snickering. This is an anomaly. Get noticed. Keep an eye on this team. Jin Shan said.

"Then how did you know there was treasure in the coffin?"

"This is simple, generally speaking, when the funeral is out, the coffin must be heavier, the coffin they use is very ordinary, not very thick, not thick is average, the general coffin has a lot of people to carry, it is different from ordinary people."

"What's the difference?"

"There are so many people! The coffin is average, not a good wood, since there are many people, they must be willing, the owner does not pay attention to the material of the coffin, it seems that either there is no one in the coffin, only something. Judging from the pace of their walking, it doesn't look like a heavy thing, it's just general, such a general, in fact, it is easy to be ignored, people only care about how people wear linen and filial piety, how they cry, and do not see the reason behind it. ”

"What's the reason behind it?"

"It's that people only think about money, they don't think about people, if it's people in the coffin, they don't care, if it's money, it's different, people's eyes don't deceive people, as long as the eyes are always staring at the place, it's money."

"How do you explain that?"

"It's normal, if it's their relatives who have died, they wear linen and filial piety, and they deliberately pretend to be grieved, the purpose is to attract people's attention, that is, they look at people, this is the real dead, and they often behave at funerals, if it's not really dead, their eyes will be on the coffin, because there is treasure in the coffin, and they are thinking about that treasure. I won't look at the person next to me. Jin Shan said.

"What did you do about it?"

"Send someone to follow them and see where they buried the coffin. Since it's buried, I'm sure I'm going to care about it. As mentioned earlier, their hearts are here, but people are not, always thinking about the money in the coffin. So, I sent someone to follow them, and sure enough, they came to the cemetery on Qingming Festival. ”

"Who are they?"

"Hu people."

"Do the Hu people also want to celebrate this festival?"

"Yes, my lord, you noticed this, and this is one of the suspicions. The Hu people will not celebrate this festival, but there must be a reason why they want to celebrate it. What are the specific reasons? Also to cover people's eyes and ears. Jin Shan said.

"I see!"

"That's right, my lord, Xia Guan knows that the people here are open to outsiders and can tolerate each other, and the Hu people know that this is the traditional custom of the Han people, so they follow the customs of the villagers, and just take advantage of this to achieve their goals. In fact, they are not accustomed to festivals, and the purpose of doing these things is also to achieve the purpose of possessing treasures. Jin Shan said.

"They are too flamboyant in doing this, so they are not afraid that smart people will see it at a glance?"

"The more dangerous the place, the safer. Knowing that there are tigers in the mountains, he prefers to go to the tiger mountains. They knew that the lower officials were looking for thieves, and they also jumped out to perform, thinking that the lower officials would not suspect them, but in fact, the lower officials had already seen it, so they cooperated with their performances to see when they would end the performance. Jin Shan said.

"What I said is that it makes a lot of sense, then, according to the understanding of ordinary people, this place is safe, and ordinary people will not think of going to the cemetery to bury treasures, but only thinking of putting treasures in the vault or other places, how can they not think of putting treasures in coffins, if they really do this, it is tomb robbery, this crime is not light, and there is no forgiveness for killing." The governor said.

"Yes, they are too smart, the organs are exhausted, I didn't expect to be smart but were mistaken by cleverness, and they sold themselves, they never thought that the lower officials would not play cards according to common sense, and they would be wiped out. They will definitely return to the cemetery, to this place that no one would have thought of to pay their respects, which is also to cover people's eyes and ears, in order to transfer the treasure from the coffin, I didn't expect that when the performance seemed seamless, there was still a mistake. This is tantamount to betraying their own information, giving the lower official an accurate information, and the lower official has an accurate judgment, that is, the treasure must be in the coffin, and the purpose of their return to the cemetery is to share the spoils, so when they went around the grave, some people secretly laughed, that is to imagine what they look like after getting the money, and they can do what they want to do with the money, how happy! Happy at least for the time being! Jin Shan said.

"It seems that you are very experienced and know how to start."

"Experience is accumulated slowly, in fact, the lower officials have little experience in handling cases, just pay attention to observation. As long as they do it, they will definitely leave clues and there will be performance. People are very strange, the more they want to hide, the easier it is to show it, the more they want to hide, the easier it is to make it public, the lower officials know, they will definitely come, on the one hand, they are waiting for the rabbit, on the other hand, they take the initiative, they are in the light, we are in the dark, we are also in the dark, we are also in the plank road to the dark Chen Cang, the purpose is a pot. Now it seems that this plan has worked. Jin Shan said.

"Your talent is admirable, and I will definitely recommend you in Dali Temple in the future. Your role is very large, and you can serve the whole country. If you are interested, the old man must be introduced. The governor said.

"No, no, Xiaguan is very good in Dengzhou! The mountains and rivers here are beautiful, the people are outstanding, suitable for living, but when you arrive in the capital, you are not adaptable, because the capital is a prosperous place, people are not free, and it is easy to be distracted. ”

"Hahaha, this won't. You have concentration, and you'll be fine wherever you go. There is one more thing, the old man does not understand, why don't they run away? The governor asked.

"Xiaguan just said that after they succeeded, they wanted to run, but they didn't run away, because Xiaguan had blocked the whole city, there were no special circumstances, they could only enter the city, not go out of the city, and set up inspection stations everywhere to strictly guard against death, but on the surface, it seemed peaceful, there was no conflict, everyone was very cooperative, and they came up with the idea of carrying the coffin out of the city for burial, because they were also worried that our people would follow them, so they deliberately returned to the city after burying the coffin, so as to dispel our concerns and suspicions, and then look for an opportunity to go out. After they went out, they found that the tomb was intact, and they were very happy to know that the treasure was still there, and some people secretly laughed at that time, so the lower officials knew that they were the ones who committed the crime, and if the lower officials were in a hurry and closed the net on them too early, I was afraid that they would flee and would not be captured so restrained. As long as they find that the treasure is still there, they must still be there, where the treasure is, their hearts are also there, and where the hearts are, the people are there, so the lower officials can solve the case. Jin Shan said.
