Chapter 21: Searching for the Body Returns to Nameless Alley
"Oh, Ji Zhutou, you should dissipate your anger first, this young man is a guest who came to stay with my dart friend. I also hope that you can remember that he is still young, not deeply involved in the world, and has a lot of seas. ”
When Shopkeeper Jiang heard Lu Qian's words, he was suddenly shocked into a cold sweat. If the catcher was allowed to use this as an excuse to make a crime casually, wouldn't he have caused a big disaster?
Even so, Lu Qian, who was walking steadily in front of him, didn't buy it, and still said to himself: "It is said that it is a ghost, but in fact it is man-made, this sentence is true." I have fought against those thieves who are tricky, and the martial arts path is not simple, but because of the unfamiliar terrain, he escaped in the fight. ”
"Hmph, you kid doesn't have a small tone, listening to the meaning of this, could it be that there is more than one so-called 'ghost'?" Ji Zhutou looked at Lu Qian's age, and he didn't look down on him in his heart. This statement in a steady tone is naturally regarded as self-boasting.
"That's right, the real culprits are the two twin gnomes, because of their petite size and outstanding skills, so there are rumors that the ghosts are children. I killed one of them during the pursuit, and the body should still be in the old uninhabited house. ”
"Oh, after investigating the scene of the crime in a while, do you dare to take me and wait to take a look?" Hearing what Lu Qian said, Ji Zhutou was also interested. Although he still has no relief in his heart about the attitude he just opposed, if he solves the case because of this, he will really be a great achievement, and he will definitely have all kinds of rewards from adults when he returns to the yamen.
"Heh, then why don't you dare?"
Lu Qian couldn't look at this mediocre head catcher, and when he said this, he agreed that if he could use the power of the government, it would definitely be a great help to eradicate the people who practiced evil skills behind the scenes, and this matter should be resolved as soon as possible, and it would be better to return peace to the people.
"Zhang Ping, Dong Ba, you two will give me a good look at this kid, and the rest of the people will follow me to the scene of the crime. ”
After Ji Zhutou finished speaking, two young catchers flashed out from the side, each holding a waist knife, and stared at Lu Qian tightly. The rest of the people followed him up to the second floor to investigate the room where the incident occurred.
The residents of each room also came out of their rooms one after another, followed a team of arresters to the scene of the crime, formed a small circle, and probed their brains to see the excitement.
Ji Zhutou handed a look to the right-hand man next to him, and he immediately understood, and immediately began to organize the isolation site, shouting, and forcibly separated a group of people with good deeds on both sides of the door.
"Dare you ask if you're the local headcatcher, right?"
Ji Zhutou, who was just about to step in, suddenly heard someone shouting to him beside him, so he turned his head to check and found that it was a middle-aged dart master in his thirties.
"Who are you? During the handling of the case, no one is allowed to come closer. Before Ji Zhutou could open his mouth to ask, Xiao Zhu, who had just organized the isolation of the scene and the crowd, said first.
"Alas, you see that this haste seems reckless. Under the surname Liu, his name is Liu Datong. He was a dart master of Ruiyi Dart Bureau, and he was a close friend of the deceased during his lifetime. We were already bedridden due to the urgency of our hearts, and when we heard that the government had sent someone to investigate the case, I ordered me to cooperate fully with your investigation. ”
"Well, that's good. Little Liuzi, let him come over!" Ji Zhutou, who listened to the ins and outs, nodded, gave an order, and walked straight into the room where the crime occurred.
To be honest, I've been on a local errand for so many years, and I've never seen a few bloody scenes like this. But since the first head case, the scene of the crime has become more and more infiltrating, and the one I saw today once again refreshed my bottom line.
Ji Zhutou walked around the room, and before he could start to carefully observe the clues of the crime, he forcibly endured his nausea and walked out with a solemn face.
On the side, there was a catcher who had worked with him for a long time, and he flattered him very shrewdly: "Lord Catcher is really clever, and he has already seen the clues of this case in less than a cup of tea, and he is worthy of being the first god of Fengxiang Pavilion!"
The rest of the catchers who followed up also instantly understood the meaning of this official sentence and praised it loudly. Liu Datong, who was honest, really thought that this head-catching was so magical, and immediately cast an admiring eye at him.
"In my opinion, this scene is full of traces of thieves breaking into the house, as for the reason, it is nothing more than a grudge between the rivers and lakes, and it is definitely not the work of some rumored ghosts. In the future, if anyone dares to talk nonsense again, they will be brought back to the yamen staff and punished for twenty!"
This Ji Catcher first raised a right hand to suppress the scene, and then simply borrowed the donkey from the slope with his subordinates' praise of him, and moved out after slightly changing the conclusion that Lu Qian had just told him, and suddenly seemed to be more wise and martial and admired by others.
"Vendetta in the rivers and lakes?" Liu Datong suddenly woke up from his state of worship just now when he heard this. As far as he knows, Liu Ji is kind and kind on weekdays, and he has never left the dart game alone, so where is the enemy?
Even if it is an ordinary vendetta, it does not necessarily have to take off the head, so setting up a suspicious array and making it so troublesome is not conducive to quickly fleeing the scene. And he is also a person who practices martial arts, and it can be seen from the murderer's ability to manipulate the scene that he will never be the general person mentioned by this head catcher.
Just when Liu Datong wanted to step forward to ask the doubts in his heart, Ji Zhutou, who forcibly raised a wave of image, waved his big hand, and hurriedly went downstairs surrounded by the crowd. Liu Datong, who was obsessed with seeking the truth, followed closely, but asked the two little catchers to quickly turn around and stop him.
"Our headcatcher still has important matters on his body, if you have any questions, you can go back and wait first, waiting for the summons of the yamen. ”
Liu Datong is an honest person, and when he heard them reply, he already knew that if he continued to ask questions, there would be no results. However, he was soft-spoken, so he had to retreat back for the time being and make plans.
"Boy, lead the way, if you can find the thief's body. If you can't find it, I'll punish you for the crime of disturbing official business, and I'm afraid that a board will be indispensable when the time comes. "A team of catchers who came down from the second floor, led by Ji Catcher, came to the place where Lu Qian was.
Hearing this, Lu Qian didn't say anything, just smiled bitterly, turned around and walked out. Under his guidance, a group of people circled around and came to the nameless alley where they had fought fiercely with the two twin thieves before.
After walking hundreds of steps, I came to a high wall, and sure enough, as Lu Qian said, there was an old big house standing here.
When he came to arrest the murderer before, because it was when the morning sun was about to rise, he couldn't see it so clearly, but now when he comes to look at this house, it is also an abandoned residence for people who are not rich or noble. There is also a striking plaque hanging at the main entrance, which reads: "Lin Mansion Courtyard".
