Ji Zhutou led the team to the door and carefully inspected the surrounding environment. Seeing that the two doors were closed, he summoned two young and strong catchers after he was busy with himself, and ordered them to hold their own swords, and they were about to greet the tiger-faced lock in the middle of the door.

"Lord Headcatcher, slow down!"

The two young men who were responsible for contributing to the force had just spit out two mouthfuls of spit, and they had all their strength to pick up the waist knife, when they suddenly came out of such a voice without knowing which unlucky one was urged, and they were shocked and forcibly retracted their strength, if it weren't for some kung fu foundation, I was afraid that they would have already sprained their waists.

The two people who had an empty stomach and were deflated, although they didn't say it, they were also quite unhappy in their hearts. At this moment, he was looking back with his eyebrows twisted and staring, and when he found that the person who stopped him was actually Ji Zhutou's brother-in-law, he turned around again, and as if nothing had happened, he lowered his head silently, as docile as two lambs to the slaughter.

"Hmm, what's the matter with you?" Ji Zhutou asked with some annoyance when he saw that the person who spoke was the younger brother of the inner room who often caused trouble for himself on weekdays, but had to stay under his hands to mess around because of his feelings.

"Hehe, Lord Headcatcher, I have an inside report. ”

This kid has always been good at observing words and feelings, and when he sees his brother-in-law's expression changing when he looks at him, he can immediately guess a rough idea. Fortunately, he is usually scolded, and his cheeky kung fu has already been practiced, not to mention that this matter is very important at the moment, and he must let his brother-in-law know in time.

"Come and see, the plaque of this big house reads the four big characters 'Lin Family Courtyard', and this Lin family is the most prestigious family in our town. Although it was relocated to another place due to the rumors of 'ghosts asking for their lives' some time ago, if we don't even say hello this time, we break into the property under its name, I'm afraid it will cause a lot of trouble in the future. ”

When Ji Zhutou heard that he was right, he thought that the Lin family was not just an ordinary rich family, but also had some connections in the court. If the current matter is not handled properly and is spread by someone with a heart, I am afraid that I will leave a hidden danger for myself in the future.

But when I think about it again, the "headless cases" that have occurred one after another in the past six months have been put under sufficient pressure by the higher-level government. If you blindly look ahead and look backwards, you will only make the progress of the investigation still stagnate, and you will still have to bear the crime of dereliction of duty at that time. Anyway, it's like this both horizontally and vertically, so it's better to take a gamble, let go of your hands and feet, and do it for a great time.

Thinking of this, Ji Zhutou's face sank, and he scolded angrily: "Bah! It doesn't matter if he is a big family or not, what can be more important than investigating the case in front of him? If you look at the old house in this courtyard, it obviously looks like it has been abandoned for a long time, not to mention that there is no one to live in, even if someone takes care of it from time to time, our officials have to break into it to handle the case!"

After saying these righteous words, Ji Zhutou cleared his throat again, turned his gun, and changed from a lecture that was only aimed at his brother-in-law alone to a large-scale statement of interests to all the fast catchers.

"Brothers, at the time of this departure, the prefect issued a death order. If no clues of the headless unsolved case can be found within the specified time limit, someone from above will be sent to take over the matter. Now that there are less than two days left before the stipulated deadline, I don't need to say much about how to behave, right? When the time comes, whether you and I can keep our 'human skin' is a trivial matter, and if we are convicted of 'dereliction of duty' again, you should all know very well what the consequences will be......

Just as Ji Zhutou was quickly explaining to the crowd how urgent this action was and what its far-reaching significance was, Lu Qian, who was listening to the audience, took advantage of their inattention, jumped into the high wall of one and a half people, and used an ingenious method from the inside to completely remove the tiger-faced lock.

Ji Zhutou, who was still immersed in the gushing morale-boosting head, suddenly heard the closed door behind him "bang" and opened by itself. Out of vigilance, he hurriedly subconsciously took a few steps back. When he gathered his mind and looked closely, he found that it was Lu Qian's kid who came out of it, and then he breathed a sigh of relief.

"When did you slip in under our noses, you boy?"

"Well, don't worry about these inconsequential things just yet. As far as I can remember, the thief's body should be in the room on the east side. ”

Ji Zhutou originally wanted to get to the bottom of what happened to Lu Qian's ability to pick the door and press the lock. But after thinking about it again, it was important to find clues at the moment, so I had to suppress the original idea, and ordered my subordinates to hunt quickly, and be sure to search carefully in the direction pointed by Lu Qian.

After receiving the instructions, the well-trained crowd immediately launched the operation. The room on the east side was carefully checked from the inside out, but there was no trace of the corpse Lu Qian said.

After a cup of tea, the catchers trotted out from inside, returned to Ji Zhutou and Lu Qian, and replied with their fists: "Report to the head catcher, the room has been searched, but no body has been found." ”

"Oh, what else do you kid have to say?"

After listening to the search results of his subordinates, Ji Zhutou immediately turned his head to look at Lu Qian on the side with questioning eyes. was surrounded by him like this, and the rest of the arresters quickly surrounded him, seeing that posture, he must find an explanation for the responsibility of disrupting official business.

Lu Qian was no longer surprised by this kind of small scene, swept a few messy hairs on his forehead, and said seriously: "I think that gang of thieves can run rampant here for half a year, there must be thoughtful people who are planning outside. Now that the corpse has disappeared, it must have been transferred away by itself for fear of revealing the "powerful ghost asking for life" that had been so painstakingly rendered before. ”

"Wonderful! It's really wonderful! If you continue to make up nonsense like yours, then what else do you need to do in this world?" Ji Zhutou slapped his head and sneered at Lu Qiandao.

"If you don't believe it, let someone look at it. When I was fighting with those two thieves, I was forced to dig a hole in it, and one of the thieves used this hole to kill here. ”

As soon as he finished speaking, two catchers had already gone up to the roof in the way of stacking arhats, and after careful verification, they hurriedly came down to report to Ji Catcher. Sure enough, everything was as Lu Qian said, there was indeed a man-made hole in the roof, and there were dried blood stains scattered around it.

"Hmph, put the team in for the time being, and then make plans when we return to the Jiang family's old store. Ji Zhutou walked angrily in front because of his greed, and the crowd could only follow quickly behind, and no one dared to speak to touch the boss's moldy head.
