After returning to the county government torture room, after a series of formalities, Jiang Yuan finally changed into a head-catching uniform.

At this time, there was an endless stream of people outside the county government who asked to see and give gifts.

A servant kept running back and forth, reporting to Jiang Yuan in the torture room:

"The Dahe Gang, knowing that Jiang Zhutou has no real estate, sent a set of houses. ”

"The Jewelers will set up a banquet in the Suyu Restaurant in the city, looking forward to Jiang Zhutou's face. ”

"Zuihualou, recently bought a new batch of Qingqi people, please Jiang Zhutou to go to the training guidance in his spare time, and at the same time, Zuihualou also sent a hundred taels of gold as a training fee. ”

"The Chen family, I heard that Jiang Zhutou has not yet married, and it just so happens that there is a little girl who is as beautiful as a flower and gentle and virtuous, and she is waiting for the boudoir, looking forward to tying the knot with Jiang Zhutou. ”

......

At this time, Jiang Yuan was sitting on a rattan chair in the courtyard of the torture room, and a group of fast catchers who came to see him gathered around Jiang Yuan, and they were full of sycophants.

Hong Kun stood aside, watching his original seat being sat by others, and now he was patting others, and it was only two days since all this change happened...... Such a gap is still difficult for him to accept.

A catcher asked Jiang Yuan:

"Lord Catcher, those who give gifts and please eat...... What should I do?"

Jiang Yuan really didn't have much research on the science of receiving gifts, so he thought about it and asked:

"What did you do with headhunters in the past?"

"This ......," the catcher glanced at Hong Kun.

Jiang Yuan then waved his hand at Hong Kun:

"Hong Kun, you go out and collect all the gift lists, I'll talk about it after I see it. ”

Hong Kun was stunned for a moment before he realized his current identity, and he hurriedly replied:

"Yes......"

After finishing speaking, Hong Kun left the small courtyard of the torture room.

After Hong Kun left, Jiang Yuan said to the catcher:

"Honestly. ”

The catcher then said:

"This former head catcher, this person is more upright and conservative, but he will not accept any gifts. And the previous head catcher, Hong Catcher, did not refuse to come, and accepted them all. ”

Jiang Yuan asked again:

"And what do you think is a good way to do it?"

Caught quickly bowed down and replied:

"The subordinates dare not speak presumptuously. But...... In fact, no matter which one it is, it is not very good for the development of our fast catching work. ”

"What do you mean by that?"

"If the headcatcher does not accept the gift, then the people in the city will inevitably think that the headcatcher is going to make a big move, and it is inevitable that there will be panic rumors, and they will be afraid of rejection of our catch. And if the head catcher does not refuse, then we will be short-handed, and our subordinates will always be used to suppress us in the future. ”

Jiang Yuan smiled:

"It's not pleasing to both ends. Okay, I'll accept some and reject some of them, let's catch up and deal with those important people often?"

"Lord Catcher is wise!" said Catcher, "If you want to say that this is the most involved, it is naturally the Big River Gang." There are many gangs in Yangcheng, but in fact, the rest of the gangs have to rely on the Dahe Gang to survive. This matter on the surface is in the hands of our yamen, but in the dark it is in the hands of the Dahe Gang. ”

After listening to this, Jiang Yuan looked at this catch twice, and thought:

"You look familiar, I seem to ...... Hit you?"

The catcher hurriedly replied:

"The little one's name is Xiao Liu, and everyone calls me Liuzi on weekdays. Yesterday, the head catcher just entered the industry, and it was a small one to test your skills in head catching. Yesterday, I was punched by the headcatcher, and the small one will be used for life, thank you for the headcatcher!"

Jiang Yuan remembered that there was such a thing. Yesterday, he knocked Liuzi unconscious with one punch, and it seemed that the injury was not light, but in fact, because Jiang Yuan could show mercy to his subordinates, it was not a big problem. Especially for martial artists whose bodies are beyond ordinary people, they can get out of bed and move after two days of cultivation.

Now this catcher named Xiao Liu doesn't mind telling the anecdote of his predecessor who took office to catch the head, and the meaning of taking refuge is particularly obvious.

Jiang Yuan didn't mind, he said to Xiao Liu:

"Sixth son, right, I remember that you seem to be in the body refining realm, so you can follow me in the future. ”

Xiao Liuda was overjoyed, hugged his fists and said:

"Thank you, sir!"

Being able to follow a powerhouse of the Four Extremes Realm, such an opportunity is what every Body Refining Realm martial artist dreams of.

At this time, Hong Kun also brought in the gift list.

Jiang Yuan picked out the gift list of the Big River Gang, and it turned out to be a set of mansions.

This is a big deal, and the difficulty of buying a house in Yangcheng is not inferior to Jiang Yuan's buying a house in a big city in his previous life.

In today's world, a little far away from the gathering place of the human race, there are all kinds of unknown dangers. As a result, housing prices are surprisingly expensive in places where people gather, especially in safer cities.

Jiang Yuan picked a few more gift lists and accepted them, and let the rest be returned.

As for the matter of eating and entertainment, Jiang Yuan refused all. If someone else has time to please, he may not have time to go.

After being busy for a while, Jiang Yuan was about to go to the city to inspect, but suddenly a catcher hurriedly ran in from outside the county office.

This catcher is not someone else, it is Wang Li.

As soon as Wang Li entered the torture room, he said to Hong Kun:

"Hong Zhutou, something is wrong!"

Hong Kun embarrassedly scolded Wang Li:

"You kid don't have long eyes, now the head catcher is Jiang Zhutou, don't scream!"

"Huh?" Wang Li was stunned, and after seeing Jiang Yuan's uniform, he was even more stunned.

He is a fast catcher on the outskirts of the city, and the news in the city often reaches their ears at the latest, and the fast catcher on the outskirts of the city was Jiang Yuan before.

Jiang Yuan asked in a deep voice:

"What's wrong?

Wang Li hurriedly replied:

"Brother Yuan...... No, no! Jiang catches the head! A murder case has occurred in Xishan Village on the outskirts of the city!"

Hong Kun said dissatisfiedly:

"I said Wang Li! Don't you see that today is the big day for Jiang Zhutou to take office? Such a trivial matter as the death of one or two people can be used to sweep away Jiang Zhutou's interest? Do you still understand the rules, you can just go down and do it yourself on the outskirts of the city!"

Wang Li's eyes were filled with horror:

"Not one or two lives...... It was a tragic case of destroying the village! Four families of 17 people, young and old...... All dead!"

After Wang Li said this, everyone present was shocked.

Although there are always a few more corpses in the Xuan River every month, those are all secretly done by the gang.

And such a blatant serious case is the first time in recent years.

Jiang Yuan frowned, he had encountered this kind of thing on his first day in office, and he asked:

"Is there any clue at the scene?"

Wang Li replied:

"The murderer was preliminarily judged to be one person, but ...... We doubt ...... That's not man-made, it's ....... Demons!"

The catchers took a breath of cool air, if it was really a ghost, then the danger was difficult to guess.

Hong Kun blinked, and said to Jiang Yuan:

"Jiang catches the head, or ...... Shall we notify the Night Watchman to take care of it?"

Jiang Yuan said coldly:

"Whether it is the devil who is doing it, or whether someone is harming people in the name of the devil, we have to find out! From now on, all the chiefs and people will abide by their responsibilities and are not allowed to move without permission! Hong Kun, Liuzi, Wang Li, you will go to the scene with me to check!"

Speaking of this, Jiang Yuan remembered something again, and said to Wang Li:

"Wang Li, now you are the head of the suburban catcher, immediately go and call the outskirts to block the scene!"

"Subordinates obey!"

After Wang Li received the order, he left in a hurry.

Jiang Yuan asked Hong Kun and Xiao Liu about some related matters, and then the three of them led three fast horses and galloped towards the suburbs.

As for the murder, although the prefectural order was notified, it was not directly handled by the prefectural order.

The government of this world has a very clear division of labor. The county lieutenant is responsible for law and order and the military, so he only needs to report to the county lieutenant.

And the head arrester is equivalent to the county lieutenant's spokesperson for the public security in Yangcheng, so the head arrester can handle all homicide cases.

It's not that the county lieutenant doesn't care about things, but in this world, human life seems so despicable...... So much so that as long as too many people don't die at one time, the county lieutenant doesn't bother to ask at all.

Xishan Village is a small mountain village at the foot of the mountain on the outskirts of the city.

Among the several villages around Yangcheng, this is a relatively poor and small village.

The village was built in the middle of a farmland, and Jiang Yuan and the three of them followed a path over the green seedlings in the fields and headed straight towards the village.

Although Xishan Village is a village, it is actually just a patchwork of private houses.

Wang Li was already waiting at the entrance of the village with the catcher, and saw Jiang Yuan and the others riding over and hurriedly saluted:

"Jiang catches the head!"

Jiang Yuan turned over and dismounted, handed over the reins to the catcher who stayed at the entrance of the village, and then walked towards the village with Wang Li, Xiao Liu, and Hong Kun in steps.

As soon as you enter the entrance of the village, the rich and pungent smell of blood comes to your face.

Jiang Yuan glanced at the village path, and the sticky and dry blood spread in the mud, which was shocking.

Wang Li kept reporting the situation along the way:

"The first person to find out about the situation was a merchant who entered the village this morning, and when he entered the village, he smelled blood and saw bloodstains, so frightened that he did not dare to enter the village, and only shouted a few loudly outside, but no one answered, so he went to report to the official. We have already interrogated the merchant, and there should be no problem. ”

As he spoke, Wang Li opened a door.

When everyone stepped into the room, they saw that the walls and furniture in the room were covered with reddish-brown strips of minced meat, and there was a pile of shapeless meat on the ground, and if it were not for the clothes, it really would not be a corpse.

I only heard Wang Li continue:

"The time of death was about the same time last night, after a fierce struggle in the house, the body was mutilated, dismembered and ...... Nibble. Almost only a part of each body remained, and we searched for a long time before we were able to roughly confirm that the people in the village were almost completely killed. ”

"Wow!" Hong Kun on the side couldn't help but lean over and vomit.

He has been a head hunter for a long time, and he has not personally come to the scene of the crime to inspect it, so he can't stand it when he sees this scene.

Jiang Yuan waved his hand at Xiao Liu, who was on the side, and Xiao Liu immediately helped Hong Kun out of the house.

Wang Li pointed to the ground and said:

"Jiang Zhutou, please look, the footprints here are obviously left by the murderer. Judging by the size of the footprints, the murderer was sturdy and should be about seven feet tall. But the footprints are very deep, but it should show that the murderer has a lot of weight, and the one who can carry the weight and commit the crime is likely to be a martial artist. And most importantly...... The subordinates don't know whether to talk about it. ”

江远 says:

"Say!"

So Wang Li said:

"Judging from the footprints, the murderer was wearing leather boots, and the pattern of this kind of boots is very unique, and there is only one kind of person in Yangcheng who will wear this kind of boots, and that is...... Night Watch. The subordinates were not false, we searched carefully, and found a hooked strip of cloth on a broken wooden table, which was also confirmed to be from the uniform of the Night Watch. ”

"I see. Jiang Yuan said.

He remembered the night watchman who had been torn open by the light and burrowed into it the night before fleeing eerily.
