"Water ghost murder?"

"That's a case we can solve?"

"In the past, cases involving demons, demons, monsters and monks were handled by the county lord, county magistrate, and county lieutenant in person, why did they hand it over to us this time?"

"Master Xu, this case can't be touched, let's find Master Xu to mediate one or two to see if I can push it off."

"This is a water ghost murder case, we are all ordinary people, how can we solve it?"

"The former head catcher, Wang Minghu, disappeared when he was investigating this case."

"Unless the Confucian and Taoist masters who saved Xu Ye once make another move."

"It's really not that the little ones are alarmist, this case is really untouchable, Xu Ye."

"Xu Ye?"

Xu Taiping's gaze swept over.

I am very satisfied with the response of the crowd.

These catches are now not only distinguishing between the big and the small.

There is no longer the same as in the morning to see the excitement or even schadenfreude.

It's not in vain that I put so much effort into cleaning them up.

Hey.

But his face was embarrassed, so he was embarrassed: "This head catcher naturally knows that this water ghost murder case cannot be touched."

"However, Master Xu personally sent the dossier over, what does it mean?

"It means that this matter is not negotiable.

"If you keep prevaricating, it will make Master Xu's face gloomy, and it will make the county master angry."

Speaking of which.

Slap the table.

The face is resolute.

"Master Xu is right, this is a test and an opportunity.

"As long as the case is solved, there are many benefits.

"Brothers, the time has come to prove our abilities to the county master and Master Xu.

"The water ghost murder case, this head arrest, must be solved.

"It can't be broken, and this head catcher will take the corresponding responsibility.

"If it can be broken, it will be the credit of the entire fast catching class.

"At that time, this catcher will personally ask the county master for the big guy!"

These words came out.

The crowd catches fast and is full of power in an instant.

I just feel that following such a head-catching thing is simply not too happy.

I don't feel dangerous anymore.

Echo the voice.

"Swear to live and die with Xu Ye."

"Xu Ye, don't worry, the water ghost is coming, and even if you die, you will die in front of Xu Ye."

"With my Wang Dashan here, even if you are a water ghost, don't want to hurt Xu Ye at all."

"That is, with Xu Ye leading, what kind of water ghost are you afraid of?"

"There are so many of us, one person can drown that water ghost with a mouthful of spit."

“……”

Xu Taiping was embarrassed at first, narrowing the distance between him and the crowd.

He is also determined to solve the case, bear his own risks, and share the benefits.

In just a few words, the crowd was mobilized.

What is speech?

That's it.

If the words are used well, they are led by the nose like those self-proclaimed elite college students, masters, and doctors.

What's more, this group of lowest-level handymen with little cultural knowledge.

Of course.

It can also be understood as a morale boost.

Xu Taiping boosted morale.

View the dossier.

Then assign the task.

Water ghost homicide.

It was a murder that happened two months ago.

Time: 27th year of Xuanning, February 14, 3 o'clock.

Location: The moat of the south gate of Jianyang City.

Deceased: Wang Wu, Jianyang people, living in Jiqingfang in the south of the city, married.

Witnesses: Zhao Sanlang, Jian Yangren, Wang Wufa is a small neighbor, has a very good relationship, and is also the informant.

Murderer: A water ghost in the moat, with a green face and fangs, a bald head, and a body full of green hair.

Tool of the crime: Two claws, dragging the deceased into the water and drowning, leaving blue-black ghost claw marks on the deceased's wrists.

The case spread and caused a great deal of panic.

To this day, the residents of Jianyang City are afraid to approach the moat.

I'm afraid that I will also be dragged into the water by the water ghost.

Xu Taiping read the dossier.

Immediately know what to expect.

led Wu Liuyi, Zhou Dafu and the three catchers to go straight to Zhao Sanlang's house.

Door.

Seeing Zhao Sanlang and his wife, he was even more convinced of his reasoning.

immediately burst into shouts: "Zhao Sanlang, Zhao Liu's family, the murder of Wang Wu by your husband and wife has been detected by this arrester, and you will be arrested quickly and truthfully confessed, otherwise, the punishment will be served!" ”

Zhao Sanlang's wife, Zhao Liu's face immediately changed.

Zhao Sanlang stiffened his neck and shouted: "Master Xu, you can't blame a good person, there is no evidence for something, spread it, the villain has no face to live." ”

Xu Taiping sneered: "No evidence? Without evidence, this head catcher will come to you? ”

The words fell.

Waved.

shouted: "Tie it up, bring it into the county office, and ask the county magistrate to try it." ”

Wu Liuyi rushed forward like a wolf.

Zhao Sanlang and his wife Zhao Liu were arrested.

Next door.

There are also arrests that take away Wang Wu's wife, Wang's family, and Wang Wu's parents.

Prefectural Order's Study.

Xu Qing knocked on the door and entered.

He whispered: "The owner, Xu Taiping claims that he has solved the water ghost murder case, and asks the owner to come forward to try it." ”

Zhou Yucheng raised his head suddenly: "Broken?" ”

"That's what Xu Taiping said."

"It's been less than half an hour, how did he break it?"

"The villain doesn't know, just look at Xu Taiping's expression, it doesn't look like a fake."

Zhou Yucheng sneered: "This case, whether it is difficult to say is difficult, whether it is simple or not, even if it is the official, he does not dare to guarantee that it will be solved within half an hour, not to mention that he is a miscellaneous servant." ”

"What does the proprietor mean—"

"Forget it, the official came forward to help him get to the bottom of it," Zhou Yucheng said excitedly: "It seems that this Xu Taiping is just proficient in human affairs, but he doesn't know anything about practice, and it is difficult to become a big tool." ”

Xu Qing also sighed: "Indeed, as a county official like the head catcher, you must not only understand people's feelings, but also be able to do practical things, so that it can last for a long time, Xu Taiping is so frivolous and sloppy in practice, it is difficult to be long-term." ”

The county government hall.

The officials were on both sides.

Holding a water and fire stick and smashing the ground intensively.

At the same time, he shouted "mighty".

The voice was muffled.

It's oppressive.

The parties Zhao Sanlang and his wife, Wang Wu's wife, and Wang Wu's parents all changed their faces.

The yamen is open to the south, and there is no reason to come in without money.

For ordinary people in the feudal era, the yamen was a tiger's mouth, and even if they were victims, they did not dare to enter easily.

It is the norm for the yamen to eat the plaintiff and the defendant.

In some places, the yamen, regardless of the plaintiff or defendant, will first beat the murderous stick as long as they are promoted to the court.

Xu Taiping directly turned on the "discerning".

This supernatural power acts on himself.

There were no visions.

But his eyes and insight instantly raised a notch.

At a glance.

The eyes and expressions of Zhao Sanlang and his wife came into view directly and clearly.

And analyze it in your mind.

At a glance, I figured out the general mentality and emotions of Zhao Sanlang and his wife.

Nervous.

The couple was very nervous.

Zhao Liu's nervousness was visible at a glance.

Zhao Sanlang's nervousness was hidden under the calmness on the surface, but his eyes, small movements and other micro-expressions betrayed him.

Micro-expressions, this is a science.

Xu Taiping does not understand criminal investigation.

But I've watched hundreds of episodes of elementary school students solving crimes, a full set of Sherlock Holmes, and many mystery novels.

More proficient in human nature and human hearts.

This water ghost murder case has no secrets in his eyes, and he knows what is going on at a glance.

According to the level of criminal investigation in this era, it is enough to go directly to the punishment.

Because he was convinced that Zhao Sanlang and his wife were murderers.

Under severe punishment, there is no worry about recruitment.

But.

Then how can I show my Xu Taiping's means?

The county magistrate doesn't know what bad intentions are holding back.

I have to show some real skills to enhance my value in the eyes of the county order.

This is the greatest sorrow of being a grassroots official, who has limited resources and information, and can only improve his own use value to obtain a path to progress.

Made.

It's so embarrassing.

Fortunately, this is a fantasy world.

Just work hard.

Sooner or later, I, Xu Taiping, will not be wronged by this grievance again.

Xu Taiping observed Zhao Sanlang and his wife.

While thinking about words.

A quarter of an hour later.

The county ordered Zhou Yucheng to walk out slowly.

Wearing a black gauze hat and a cyan collared shirt, he wore a belt inlaid with plain silver buckles around his waist, and sat down steadily.

Master Xu Qing followed.

The crowd hurriedly saluted.

Mouth shouting: "Welcome to the blue sky." ”

After the ceremony.

Zhou Yucheng grabbed the startling wood and slammed it on the table.

"Smack-"

There was a crunch.

The crowd was stunned.

It was Xu Taiping, who was also in his heart.

Zhou Yucheng asked expressionlessly: "Xu Taiping, has the case really been solved and the murderer has been captured?" ”

Xu Taiping hurriedly bowed: "Lord Hui, my subordinates have captured the murderer of the water ghost murder case on February 14. ”

"Is there any evidence?"

"Nope."

"Where's the murder weapon?"

"There was no search."

Zhou Yucheng was slightly angry: "There is no evidence, and the murder weapon has not been found, how can we talk about detection?" ”

Xu Taiping was still calm: "Lord Hui, this case is simple, and the subordinates only need to say a few words to let the murderer confess himself." ”

Zhou Yucheng narrowed his eyes.

Keep an eye on Xu Taiping.

After a few breaths, he nodded almost imperceptibly: "Accurate!" ”
