Chapter II: Case Adjudication
"Alas! Lao Qin and I have a similar temperament and are like brothers, so I asked the county to take over the case, and I am bound to arrest the evil people and avenge the dead and Lao Qin.
But the county respected the rumors in the market, thinking that it was a monster that harmed people, and wanted to find a monk and Taoist priest to eliminate the demon. His grandmother is a bear, Lao Tzu has been a fast catcher for half of his life, how have he ever seen any demons and monsters in the world. is obviously worried that continuing to toss will damage his official prestige, and he wants to make a big thing a small thing and a small thing.
Lao Tzu is unwilling, how can he let Lao Qin die in vain like this. After talking to the county, I finally fought for three days, and today is the last day. ”
Liu Yong's eyes were filled with tears, and he lamented helplessly with a sad and angry face.
"So, Brother Liu, you've been squatting in that grove for the past two nights."
"Huh! How do you kid know? ”
Liu Yong asked strangely.
"You have cobwebs on your clothes, and the cobwebs are stained with dew, which means that you didn't sleep at home last night, but spent the night outside. You have a dead leaf in the corner of your hat, and the shape of the dead leaf is not the same as the one commonly found in the city. Your boots are stained with a lot of black, wet dirt, and fresh grass clippings in the dirt. The roads that can be reached from the county government are all dry loess roads or stone roads.
You have eye droppings in the corners of your eyes, bloodshot eyes, a troubled face, chapped lips, and so on, which is enough for me to deduce where you were last night. ”
Rong Fei replied unhurriedly.
"Good boy, I really have a hand."
Liu Yong couldn't help but give a thumbs up and praised.
"It's not enough to have one hand, it's the real ability to catch the real murderer, bring me the case file you are carrying in your arms."
As he spoke, Rong Fei had already finished eating and drinking a bowl of noodle soup, picked up a braised egg and stuffed it into his mouth, and then pointed to Liu Yong's chest and said.
"How do you know I'm carrying a case file in my arms?"
Liu Yong reached into his arms and took out the case file and handed it to Rong Fei, and then asked curiously.
"The placket on the chest is slightly raised, and the shape and thickness should be something like a book. Brother Liu is not a scholar and does not carry a subset of scriptures and histories with him. Combined with your profession and how attentive you are to the case, it's easy to guess. ”
After explaining, Rong Fei stuffed another boiled egg into his mouth, chewing it and carefully flipping through the case file.
The case file written in traditional Chinese characters made Rong Fei look unaccustomed, but fortunately he could barely understand it.
After reading it once, Rong Fei closed the case file, closed his eyes, and muttered and chanted words in his mouth.
Liu Yong didn't know why, but he didn't dare to bother, so he could only wait patiently.
After a long time, Rong Fei opened his eyes and looked through the case file again.
After reading it this time, Rong Fei handed the case file back to Liu Yong.
"You said before that you learned the news from the two officials that Qin Zhi went to squat in the woods, right?"
"That's right."
Liu Yong nodded in response.
"Arrest those two officials and interrogate them, even if Qin Zhukuai is not harmed by the two of them, they will definitely not be able to get out of the relationship."
"Huh? Here's why. ”
"It doesn't say in the case file that when Qin Zhukuai's body was found, did the soles of his shoes stick to the black clay unique to that woods, right?"
"yes, is there a problem?"
Liu Yong was already familiar with the content of the case file, and after thinking about it, he found that there was indeed no record.
"You also saw the corpse at the scene at that time, do you remember if the soles of Qin Zhukuai's shoes were stained with mud?"
Rong Fei asked.
"Hmm..."
Hearing this, Liu Yong frowned and recalled the scene three days ago, and replied affirmatively after a while.
"No, before I arrived, I personally checked Lao Qin's body and the surrounding traces. It's impossible for me not to notice something so conspicuous. ”
"That's it."
"What is it?"
"What does it mean that the soles of the shoes are not stained with black dirt?"
"Description... Illustrate... What does it mean? Can you kid not sell Guanzi, if you have something to say. ”
Liu Yong scratched his ears and cheeks anxiously and urged.
It means that Qin Yukuai has never been to that forest at all. Instead, after the gangsters killed Qin and captured quickly, they carried the body to the woods. ”
"Oh oh, I understand, that's why the soles of Lao Qin's shoes didn't stick to the dirt in the woods."
Liu Yong patted his head and suddenly realized. But then a look of doubt appeared on his face.
"However, why do you conclude that Lao Qin's death was the work of two of his servants?"
"Since Qin Zhukuai didn't go to that forest that night, how did the two officials know Qin Zhukuai's whereabouts?"
Rong Fei replied.
Although Liu Yong looks rough, his mind is extremely alert, and after hearing Rong Fei's explanation, his eyes just rolled in his sockets, and he instantly sorted out the cause and effect.
Pu Fan's big palm slapped the table, stood up and said angrily.
"Two little mongrels, look at Lao Tzu who didn't pull out their skin today!"
After that, he took out a handful of copper coins and slapped them on the table, turned around and wanted to leave, but was stopped by Rong Fei.
"Brother Liu, don't be in a hurry to leave, listen to what I say."
Liu Yong was already extremely convinced of Rong Fei at this time, so although he was a little anxious, he also obediently sat down and listened.
"How is Brother Liu going to interrogate those two?"
Rong Fei asked.
"The old rule, hit the board first, if you still have a hard mouth, then go through the clamp stick, leather whip, and soldering iron."
Liu Yong gritted his back molars and replied with murderous intent.
"No."
Rong Fei shook his head and said.
"There's nothing wrong with that, Lao Tzu used to do this. Don't worry, even if it is copper skin and iron bones, it can't bear the eighteen torture tools in the yamen. ”
"Brother Liu, don't worry, listen to the kid finish talking first. Now it is only suspected that the two of them have something to do with Qin Zhukuai's death, but there is no empirical evidence. After all, those two people are servants in the yamen, and they are also colleagues with you, but they are very different from the previous prisoners in terms of identity. If the two of them really gritted their teeth and withstood the torture, and refused to admit to killing Qin Zhukuai, how would you deal with yourself at that time? What will the other catchers and servants in the yamen think of you? ”
"This..."
Liu Yong's heart was suddenly shocked when he heard this, if it was really as Rong Fei said, he was afraid that he would probably be excluded by all his colleagues, and even be directly stripped of his poor clothes.
"I have a plan to get those two to confess."
Rong Fei said mysteriously.
"Oh, come on."
Liu Yong hurriedly bowed his head and leaned on his ears.
"Brother Liu only needs to find three connected rooms, detain the two people in the rooms on both sides, and then find a trustworthy person to pretend to torture and interrogate in the middle room, and the sounds of torture and screams must be real and credible. Estimating that the execution time was almost up, he let people shout, 'I move, I will do all the tricks.' ’
After that, the two men were interrogated separately. Needless to say, just say that your accomplices have already done all the tricks, and you are the mastermind who killed Qin Zhukuai. In order to alleviate the crime, these two people will definitely give an honest explanation. ”
Liu Yong's frowning brows gradually relaxed, and then stared at Rong Fei fiercely.
Rong Fei did not panic, and looked at him without showing weakness.
"You kid has such a delicate mind at such an age, if you are evil in the future, you will be the first of the wicked people in the world, and I am afraid that the world will suffer."
"Brother Liu hasn't married a wife yet. It's better for you to take me as a disciple, with your righteous and awe-inspiring discipline, I will not have the opportunity to go down the wrong path. I can not only help you solve the case, but when you are old, you can also be half a son to retire and die. ”
"This is also what your kid has planned a long time ago, the reason why Lao Tzu was selected from so many people in the yamen is to see that Lao Tzu is a bachelor."
"Hehe, Brother Liu laughed."
"If you are not full, just eat at the stall, and when you are full, go to the hospital and wait for me."
Liu Yong glanced at Rong Fei with a complicated look, dropped a sentence and left in a hurry.
When Liu Yong walked away, Rong Fei picked up the copper coins on the table to pay the bill, and then went to the medical hall opposite.
Rong Fei walked into the medical hall, and Lao Langzhong also happened to open the curtain and come out of the back room.
"Uncle, my sister she..."
Syllable!
Rong Fei hurriedly greeted and asked how the little girl's condition was, but before he could finish speaking, Lao Langzhong raised his hand and gave him a heavy slap.
"Do you know why they hit you?"
Lao Langzhong bent down and came to Rong Fei's eyes, and said in a fierce voice.
The old man's hands were extremely heavy, and Rong Fei's eyes were full of gold stars, and his brain was buzzing. But even so, Rong Fei forcibly calmed his head, thought for a moment and then lowered his head and admitted his mistake.
"I didn't fulfill my brother's responsibilities and take good care of my sister-in-law, my father-in-law, you played right, you played well, and the kid knew that he was wrong."
"Hmph, you still have some conscience. Your sister's fever has subsided, and she will be cured in a day or two as long as she is healthy. But her hands... Alas! ”
Thinking of the little girl's tooth marks and rotten and smelly hands, the old man was angry, and raised his hand to give the bastard in front of him another slap.
But when I think about it, this kid is just a doll in his early teens, and I can't bear it.
"Where are your parents? Look at your brother and sister's outfits, whether they are beggars in the city, but the old man has no impression. ”
After taking a few breaths and calming down, Lao Langzhong asked in a cold voice.
Rong Fei also concealed it, and 1510 told the experience of fleeing.
After hearing this, Lao Langzhong stared at Rong Fei incredulously for a long time, then took two steps back, clasped his arms in front of him, and bowed to Rong Fei.
"Uncle, what are you doing!"
Rong Fei was startled and hurriedly dodged to the side.
"It is difficult to protect oneself but risk death to save orphans, this is benevolence. In the face of groundless accusations, he does not distinguish between them, which is more generous. The boy is kind and generous, rare in the world, please be worshiped by the old decay. ”
"Uncle, you're serious, the kid really can't afford it, hurry up."
Rong Fei stepped forward and wanted to help Lao Langzhong, but Lao Langzhong was very stubborn.
"If you want to get up, you can get up, but boy, you have to agree to one condition of old decay."
"But it doesn't hurt to say that the kid should do his best."
"Since you and the girl behind you have nowhere to go, it is better to go to the old man to learn medical skills. The old man lost his wife at an early age, had no children and no daughters, was alone, and was worried that no one would inherit his medical skills. Isn't it the providence of heaven that you and I meet at this time? ”
"This..."
Rong Fei heard this, but he made a difficulty.
It stands to reason that it is a great good thing that someone is kind enough to take him in when there is no way out. But sitting in the museum to practice medicine is contrary to Rong Fei's plan.
The tragic situation of corpses all over the field in Danzhou is still vivid.
The disaster star came to the world, and the cries of the devastating creatures were still roaring in the ears.
Although others don't know, Rong Fei himself knows in his heart that the so-called disaster star is just a falling and burning spaceship.
If there is no calamity, where is the calamity?
Rong Fei had already made up his mind to find out the truth about the disaster in Danzhou, otherwise the countless unjust souls in the dream would not give up, and his conscience would be unsettled.
If you want to investigate the case, it is naturally the most convenient profession of the yamen to arrest quickly.
And I am already writing suspense novels, and I am good at reasoning, so it is logical to become a fast catcher.
Therefore, after entering Fencheng, he will go to the county government gate to squat.
After thinking and weighing for a moment, Rong Fei had made a decision in his heart.
But when he raised his eyes, he saw the expectant look on Lao Langzhong's face, but he couldn't bear to refuse.
"Hehehe, it's old and abrupt. The kid doesn't need to reply now, just give the old man a word after thinking clearly. ”
After all, Lao Langzhong is old here, and how can he not see the embarrassment on Rong Fei's face. So he didn't urge, first stabilized with words, and then slowly figured it out.
The two little ones must have nowhere to go, just keep them in the medical hall for a while, slowly infiltrate and reform, and there will always be a chance to be included in the door.
The little girl had been healed and was asleep in the back room. Lao Langzhong comforted Rong Fei, boiled water and made a pot of tea for him to sit down and drink while waiting, and he walked out of the medical hall.
After a short time, Lao Langzhong returned to the medical hall, handed a package to Rong Fei, and said with a smile.
"There's a stove and a well in the backyard, so I'm going to boil some water and take a shower and change into this outfit. This tattered garment is not worthy of you boy. ”
"Uncle, how does this work?"
Rong Fei hurriedly stood up and wanted to excuse himself, but he was kicked in the ass by Lao Langzhong, and involuntarily rushed towards the door leading to the backyard.
"The man's husband doesn't want his mother-in-law and mother-in-law, a piece of clothing is worth a few copper plates, go quickly. Oh yes, there's another set for your girl. ”
When Rong Fei took a shower and changed into clean clothes and returned to the front hall, Lao Langzhong couldn't help but praise again.
"What a handsome boy."
Then he said with pity.
"It's just that the body is a little thinner, it should be that hunger, thirst and fatigue have injured the source, and I don't know if I can make up for it in the future."
The old and young sat in the hospital hall and chatted with each other. At noon, Lao Langzhong went to the back room to check on the little girl's condition.
As soon as Lao Langzhong's front foot left, Liu Yong rushed in in a hurry.
Sitting in the position that the old man had done, he picked up the teapot on the table, whether it was hot or cold, lifted the lid and put it to his mouth.
"Hahaha, refreshing!"
Putting down the teapot, Liu Yong wiped a handful of water stains on his beard and roared happily.
