Chapter Seventy-Eight: Arrest (I)
After the night, the sky brightened.
In the forbidden room outside the county jail, a rough man with a bearded face held a wine glass in one hand and stretched out his chopsticks to clip the peanuts on the plate with the other.
"Tu Tou, are you so interested in drinking early in the morning?"
A tall young man in a headhunter shirt walked in.
"It turned out to be Zhao Zhutou, come to drink two cups?" The rough man turned his head and grinned.
"No, I'm going to arrest people in the morning."
The person who came was Zhao Lin, he walked to the table and sat down, picked up the wine jug and poured a glass, and said: "I heard that Tu Tou is proficient in one hundred and eight kinds of torture, today I am going to interrogate a prisoner outside, I don't know if I have time to help?" ”
The rough man is the head of the prison cell, his real name is Tu Wuyan, and he is known as Ghost Sorrow, and he is good at all kinds of torture to extract confessions and torture people.
Zhao Lin's plan was to arrest the shopkeeper first and force him to get out of the authentic exit, in order to prevent the shopkeeper from not confessing and delaying time, so he came to this "professional".
"Really?"
Tu Wuyan's eyes lit up, and his two hands rubbed a few times like flies, "Yes, it's too much!" When to go? ”
Zhao Lin saw that he looked impatient, and smiled: "About half an hour." ”
Tu Wuyan stood up with a "whew", almost knocked over the table, turned around and pulled out a wooden box from under the bed, opened it to check his "tools".
Zhao Lin glanced at it and saw that there were dozens of strange torture tools such as finger clamps, piercing nails, and grinding stones in the wooden box.
"What a talent!"
Zhao Lin knew that he had found the right person, so he got up and arched his hand: "Tu Tou, then say okay, see you at the yamen in a while." ”
"Don't worry, I'll be there!" Tu Wuyan didn't go back to the tunnel.
Zhao Lin got out of the forbidden room and returned to the fast catching room.
There are twenty or thirty people sitting in the fast catching room, except for Sun Zhang, all the fast catchers in Dongcheng have arrived.
Originally, these people were laughing and chatting, but when they saw Zhao Lin coming in, they immediately quieted down.
"Zhao Zhutou, when will you arrest someone? We waited here yesterday for a day. ”
"Yes, Zhao Zhutou won't play us, right?"
Shi Dahai and Jin Liqun complained.
Zhao Lin's gaze swept over everyone, and he said slowly: "Shi Tou Hunt, Jin Tou Hunt, brothers, I have found out where the murderer is hiding, now let's go!" ”
Shi Dahai and Jin Liqun were both stunned, and the former asked: "Zhao Zhutou, where is the murderer now, and what kind of cultivation is it?" ”
Zhao Lin didn't hide it, and said: "The murderer is in the Yunlai Inn, a martial artist in the Qi Realm." ”
"Qi realm?"
Shi Dahai's face changed, "We are all in the power realm, I'm afraid it's not easy to take it, right?" It's better to let Sun catch the long ......"
"Don't mention Captain Sun!"
Zhao Lin interrupted him coldly, "There is only one murderer, what are we afraid of so many of us?" Now go to the arsenal and bring Qi armor and crossbows, even if he has three heads and six arms, he can't run. ”
After speaking, he no longer gave him a rebuttal, turned around and walked out of the fast room.
When you are facing ordinary people, the force is enough to suppress it, but if you face a martial artist, especially a martial artist with high cultivation, you must rely on numbers and equipment to fill the gap in strength.
The arsenal has strong bows and crossbows and sophisticated armor, as well as a variety of long weapons, which are used by many people, and even the Blood Realm martial artists dare not directly attack their edges.
Zhao Lin led a group of catchers to the arsenal and showed the waist card to the officials guarding the door.
"Twenty-eight pairs of armor, seven bows, fifteen crossbows, twenty triangular forks, twenty pounds of poisonous grass ......"
Zhao Lin commanded everyone to move equipment out, and the officials recorded on the side.
He picked out a large step armor by himself, which weighed about fifty pounds, and he didn't feel hard to put it on his body, but it was more difficult to wear it.
By the time everyone had finished dressing, nearly half an hour had passed.
Zhao Lin's gaze swept over everyone's faces, although the catchers were stubborn and looked very imposing, their morale was not very high.
The reason is not difficult to understand, most of the fast catches come from the martial arts hall, they are old and have no pursuit in martial arts, and they don't want to go outside to fight and kill, so they enter the yamen to find a stable job.
Dry fishing is fast to earn a few taels of silver a month, and it is okay to catch ordinary people, but it is absolutely impossible to fight with martial arts masters.
"Brothers!"
Zhao Lin decided to make a pre-departure mobilization for them, "We are facing a ruthless madman this time, not to mention the danger, but ......"
"Do we retreat because of danger? The people of Dongcheng are worried all day long, and they are even afraid to die when they go out. ”
"Who doesn't have a woman, what if one day it's their relatives who are poisoned?"
He said it impassionedly, but the catchers were indifferent and numb.
"These people are so unconscious......"
Zhao Lin shook his head secretly, so he had to change his strategy and took out two silver tickets of fifty taels and a few ingots of official silver from under his clothes.
"As long as the prisoner is caught, regardless of whether there is a reward in the county or not, the money will be given to the brothers."
Since his prestige and popularity are insufficient, he can only use silver money to open the way.
Last time, I spent two hundred taels of silver to kill the ruthless Liang Dark, and recently the expenses have been large, and there are still one hundred and dozens of taels left, basically all of which have been taken out.
The crowd looked at each other, and they had never seen the head of the prisoner who paid for it.
A slightly older catcher quickly asked, "Is what Captain Zhao said seriously?" ”
Zhao Lin didn't talk nonsense, and directly handed over the silver money to Shi Dahai, "Please keep the head of Shi Catcher, and I will share it with everyone after the task is over, do you believe it now?" ”
"But the ugly words are ahead, who dares to escape, and if you don't work, you won't have a point!"
"Yes!" The catchers responded in unison, and finally got a little angry.
"Chief Zhao, the carriage is ready." He Qingquan walked over and said.
"Good!"
Zhao Lin divided the capture into three teams, Shi Dahai and Jin Liqun each led a team, and it turned out that Sun Zhang's subordinates were under his own control.
Everyone walked out of the county government and boarded the three carriages in front of the yamen.
This was the first time Zhao Lin had led the team, and he was a little nervous, trying to sort out his thoughts and going through what to do first and what to do later.
"Are you going to arrest someone?"
Horse-drawn carriages gallop down the streets, attracting the attention of pedestrians.
"I'm wearing armor quickly, I'm afraid I'm going to meet a tricky person." Someone next to him said.
After a while, the carriage rushed to the door of the Yunlai Inn.
The catchers carried bows and crossbows, and held triangular forks in their hands, and got down from the cart one after another.
"Shi Catcher, Jin Catcher, help guard the inn, don't let anyone in or out, and follow me to arrest the rest!"
Zhao Lin gave an order and led people to break into the inn.
Although Shi Dahai and Jin Liqun were not convinced that Zhao Lin rode on their heads, they also knew the stakes and commanded to capture and surround the inn.
"Master Catcher, you are ......"
It was still early, and the guy on duty at night was awakened by the noise, and when he saw Zhao Lin and others rushing in in full armor, he was so frightened that he couldn't speak.
"The yamen is on an errand, and no one else is evading!"
Zhao Lin shouted, turned his head to He Qingquan and said, "Three guys, one feeds the horses, two run errands, and there are four people in the back kitchen...... Don't let any of them go. ”
He wasn't sure if the shopkeeper had an accomplice at the inn, so he simply grabbed it and rushed into the lounge behind the counter with a few catchers.
