Chapter 288: The Farmer's Confession
The rice in Zhang Zhidou's farm was cleanly harvested, and the courtyard of the farm was left with only a mess of corpses and broken pots and pans.
The rice fields outside have been harvested cleanly, and there is not a single hair left.
Early the next morning, the incident of the raid on the farm in the middle of the night was reported to the Shicheng guards, and when they heard such a disappearance, the whole Shicheng was extremely angry, and several high-ranking officials even smashed their own tables.
This was the first time Jiang Cheng had attended a high-level meeting in Shicheng, and when he heard the news that the farm had been ransacked, the whereabouts of Zhang Zhidou and his wife were unknown, and all the farmers had been slaughtered, he was also very angry.
In the conference room of the headquarters of the Stone City Guards, there are a number of high-level officials in the Stone City sitting at this moment. They were filled with righteous indignation, and it was difficult to hide the angry look on their faces.
"If I knew who did it, I would kill them all. ”
"Damn, that's the grain that our farmers have saved for a year, and it's actually looted like this and made into someone else's wedding dress. ”
Bang Dang!
The door in the conference room was pushed open, and the people who came in outside were Jiang Cheng and Cheng Wu, as well as a group of high-level officials from Jiang League.
Jiang Cheng came to the main seat of the long table in the conference room and sat down, while Cheng Wu and Chen Dazhong sat on Jiang Cheng's left and right.
Seeing Jiang Cheng coming to attend the meeting, the discussion in the conference room stopped in an instant, and the high-level executives looked at Jiang Cheng with inquiring eyes, which was obvious, but they all wanted Jiang Cheng to propose a solution.
"Who did this? Did you find out?" Jiang Cheng sat down in the main seat of the conference room, with an angry look on his face.
"Report to the Jiang League, the matter is still under investigation, I have sent out all the veteran policemen and inspectors with criminal investigation experience, and I believe there will be news soon. The captain of the martial arts in charge of criminal investigation stood next to the long table in the conference room and replied cautiously.
Jiang Cheng sighed, trying to make his tone a little calmer. Zhang Zhidou is his college classmate, a roommate and good friend who has been playing together for three years, and his wife is just more than four months pregnant, and now their whereabouts are unknown, if there is an accident, it is two corpses and three lives, Jiang Cheng has not many surviving old friends, he doesn't want Zhang Zhidou to have an accident.
"So who do you think did this? "This matter is related to the coercion and sovereignty integrity of Stone City, and it must not be hastily handled.
"Who else? I guess it must have been done by those bastards in Dingcheng, who else but them could have such strength? Quietly swept a farm overnight. ”
An old man sitting in the middle of the left side of the conference room said angrily.
"Not necessarily, it may also be the group of bandits in Nanshan who did it, they occupy the mountain as the king and do all the bad things, if it weren't for the fact that Shicheng couldn't spare people recently, they would have cleaned up those guys who didn't know what to do. ”
There were also different voices in the conference room, just when the high-level leaders of Shicheng were discussing fiercely in the conference room, and the faces of the battle were red, but they saw a warrior rushing in from outside the conference room.
This martial artist was the old criminal policeman who investigated Jiangcheng some time ago, Sun Tielong, the captain of the Blue Sky Squad, and he hurriedly rushed into the conference room from the outside, and the whole person also looked a little in a hurry.
"Report, the latest clues have been found on the farm outside Stone City. As soon as they heard the latest clues from outside, the noisy Shicheng executives suddenly felt refreshed.
"Who's doing it, tell me what's going on. ”
"Tell us more about it. ”
The former old criminal policeman Sun Tielong was very calm, and he did not mess up his rhythm because of the oppression of the high-level people in Shicheng. He took a breath and said unhurriedly: "We found the only survivor in the Sixth Farm outside Stone City, he stayed in the toilet in the middle of the night and had diarrhea, and when the invaders raided the Sixth Farm, he was desperate to survive, and he couldn't help but have an idea, he buried his whole body in the dung pit, and only then did he escape the mortal fate. ”
"Then why don't you hurry up and bring him to the conference room, why did you run in by yourself?" a white-bearded old man shouted angrily at the old criminal policeman who broke in.
"Well, the farmer smelled so strong, so I didn't bring him in. The old criminal policeman Sun Tielong said after groaning.
"Just let him in, what's the matter with you coming in? When did you come, afraid of getting dirty?" Another high-level of Shicheng didn't give face to Sun Tielong, who had just solved such a big case.
Sun Tielong retreated very embarrassedly, and after a while, he walked in with a man with a very good taste, who looked very restrained when he entered such a magnificent conference room.
He was dressed in tatters, with a pair of straw sandals under his feet, probably because of the long sun exposure, his body exuded a bronzed sheen.
He cowered in the corner of the conference room, looking at so many big people who had only heard of it, and seemed a little afraid to speak.
"It's okay, what you see or hear, just say it, and we'll do it for you. Jiang Cheng said to the somewhat timid peasant.
"Dingcheng, it was the people of Dingcheng who did it. Pressed by so many high-ranking people in Stone City, the farmer let out a very weak voice.
"Dingcheng? Are you sure you heard it right, or read it right? This kind of thing can't bite people indiscriminately. As soon as they heard that it was Dingcheng's doing, all the high-level officials in Shicheng gasped.
After experiencing the crisis of the Jiang League, Dingcheng, which was originally in the limelight, surpassed Shicheng in one fell swoop and became the largest force in Yanshan's generation.
If it is another base city, with the current strength of Shicheng, it may still be able to fight, but if it is Dingcheng, Shicheng is estimated to be dangerous. All the high-level officials of Shicheng did not dare to be enemies of Dingcheng, just some time ago, Shicheng almost became a subsidiary city of Dingcheng, if it were not for the timing of Jiangcheng's appearance, which killed Cai Shun, the thirty-sixth powerhouse in the capital, in one fell swoop, Shicheng may have really begun to pay tribute to Dingcheng and become its affiliated city.
The farmer was frightened by so many high-ranking people in Stone City, and became a little afraid, but then his eyes became extremely determined, last night, he hid in the dung pit, and saw with his own eyes that the group of robbers killed his wife and children, this great hatred, he could not help but revenge.
Thinking of this, the farmer couldn't help but grit his teeth and said: "What I said is true, why don't you believe it? They killed everyone to kill their mouths, just to prevent the news from leaking out, I listened to him talk to Captain Zhang Zhidou, and learned that he is the northern general of Dingcheng, if you don't believe me, you can let me describe the appearance of that northern general, anyway, I definitely haven't seen that northern general, if I can describe his specific characteristics, can it be proved that this is true?"
The farmer said in a bit of a hurry, he was afraid that this group of high-ranking people in Stone City would admit it, after all, he was a person who had come over, and he knew more or less the thoughts of some big people, and most of these big people would put their interests first, and for the interests of most people, they would even do things that they could not swallow.
"Don't be afraid, you say it's okay. The high-level officials of Shicheng kept scaring this farmer, and Jiang Cheng had to stand up and say something.
"That North General is about 1.8 meters tall, his body is very stocky, he is holding a glaive knife in his hand, he looks very vicious, by the way, his most important feature is to have a flat head, and there is a white scar more than ten centimeters long on his hair. ”
This farmer described the appearance of the northern general in detail, which was almost exactly the same as Lu Dechao's appearance, which couldn't help but make everyone more confused.
"Jiang Alliance Master, don't believe his words, this farmer may be a spy sent by other forces, undercover in our stone city, the purpose is to provoke a fight between the two parties, and then they will profit. ”
"Yes, you can't listen to this man's words, he's just talking nonsense. As soon as the farmer finished telling the truth, several high-ranking officials in Shicheng took up the case and loudly rebuked the farmer, and some even wanted to add an unknown charge to the farmer.
"Spy, hehe, there is no excuse for the crime you want to add, I am a native of Shicheng with strong roots, born as a Shicheng person, and died as a Shicheng ghost, and many aborigines living in Shicheng can prove the innocence of my identity. ”
The farmer coldly watched the tearing and forcing battle in the conference room, and was disappointed in what his hometown people had done.
"War is not child's play, how can you listen to your family's one-sided words? Leader Jiang Meng, I think that before this good matter is investigated, we must not act rashly, and this farmer should be arrested first, and then tortured to extract a confession. ”
"Yes, arrest him, and then torture him to extract a confession, and I promise to ask him something. The old men sitting at the long table had angry eyes, and their cold eyes stared at the farmer in front of them for a moment, as if they wanted to see through the peasant's heart, but unfortunately they were disappointed after all.
The eyes are the windows of a man's soul, and in the shrewd liars, when they tell lies, there will inevitably be some glint in their eyes, but they stared at the farmer aggressively for a long time, but did not see the flicker they wanted.
"I'm not afraid of shadows, you want to pour dirty water on me? Is this how the ruling class in Stone City is? After being robbed of a farm's grain, they don't even dare to return it?"
This farmer used to be a peasant, and he was a reckless person in their village, and he was so reckless that he was not even afraid of the big people in Shicheng.
"Is this the reaction that a farmer should have when he encounters a big event? Not only is he not afraid, but he even aggressively questioned us, Master Jiang Meng, I am especially suspicious of the identity of this farmer now, and I will take him back now to torture him to extract a confession to see whether he recruits or not. ”
An old man stood up and was about to go and catch the filthy farmer.
