Chapter 963 Detective Gu Qingqiu!
There were no electric lights in this era, so an oil lamp was lit in the wing. The light was very dark, which made the atmosphere of horror even more intense.
“What’s your name?”
“How many people are in the family?”
“How many children?”
Gu Qingqiu began the interrogation.
She started with simple questions to lower Shen Caishen's vigilance. At the same time, she also used these questions to profile the gentleman's character.
It stands to reason that Xia Hongyao should have left to preside over the torture, but she found that Gu Qingqiu was better at this kind of thing.
"Little Loach, have you studied torture techniques?"
Xia Hongyao muttered softly.
"I have read relevant books, but unfortunately I have never had the opportunity to practice it!"
Sitting at the table, Gu Qingqiu smiled slightly: "I finally got what I wanted today!"
Shen Caishen's side He answered honestly, begging for mercy, promising money, and adding threats and threats, saying that he had someone in the government office.
In short, I mean, let me go and give you a large sum of money, and I will let it go. Otherwise, you won’t be able to spend the money you got.
“My daughter?”
When asked about his daughter, Shen Caishen showed a sad expression and began to talk about the love between father and daughter, but even Xia Hongyao felt that this was not the truth.
"Alumni, please bring some masks!"
After Gu Qingqiu waited for Lin Baici to take out a few masks and let everyone put them on, she pulled off the paper bag on Shen Caishen's head.
“Hero, spare your life!”
Shen Caishen bowed his head immediately.
If he saw the face of the kidnapper, he might not be able to save his life.
“We only seek wealth, not murder!”
Gu Qingqiu stepped on a stool with one leg and showed a big sword: “I ask again, you Where did you hide your daughter?”
“My daughter is dead!”
Shen Caishen cried. He glanced at the room and found that these people were wearing masks. He breathed a sigh of relief.
"It seems that you won't shed tears until you see the coffin!"
Gu Qingqiu snapped his fingers: "Alumni, it's up to you!"
"Exercise punishment!"
"I'll be your assistant!"
Li Yintong was very angry. He encountered rule pollution in his own territory. It was too embarrassing to say it. He had to purify it as soon as possible: "Is it pulling out nails? Or is it? Tooth extraction? ”
"You're too rude!"
Hua Yueyu didn't want to get bloody: "I heard that in ancient times, there was a criminal method for promotion to a higher position, which was to put wet paper on the face. Let's try it. ?”
"It's too troublesome, let's just bleed!"
Lin Baici placed the wooden basin he had just prepared in front of Shen Caishen, then grabbed his hand: "Hongyao, let's have a knife!"< br>
Whoosh!
Shen Caishen didn't even see how the big bear girl drew the knife. He saw the flash of the knife and the index finger of his right hand started to bleed.
Gu Qingqiu moved the wooden basin with his foot and adjusted its position so that the blood could drip into it.
“Be careful, blood will leave traces when spilled on the ground!”
Gu Qingqiu seemed to be reminding Lin Baici, but he was actually telling Shen Caishen.
"How much blood do you think he had? Can this tub fit in?"
Hua Yueyu scares Shen Caishen.
There was water in the wooden basin, and blood was dripping in it, making a ticking sound.
“You’ll find out later!”
Lin Baici put the paper bag over Shen Caishen’s head again.
“If you tell me the whereabouts of your daughter, I will stop your bleeding, otherwise you will wait for death!”
"My daughter is dead!"
Shen Caishen was very stubborn: "What do you want me to say?"
Gu Qingqiu put his finger to his lips and made a silent gesture, So everyone stopped talking, so the sound of blood dripping in the tub became clearer.
Shen Caishen struggled subconsciously, but the rope that tied him was very tight.
This kind of criminal method is very famous. It focuses more on mental pressure. People with weak will will soon collapse.
Listening to the ticking sound, Shen Caishen felt that his blood was draining, and he felt various discomforts on his body. In addition, being tied up and at night made this feeling even worse.
“My daughter was really burned to death!”
Shen Caishen kept repeating this sentence, but when he felt dizzy and knew that he might be dying, he tried to survive. The will began to explode.
"I said, I will tell you everything I know, please stop my bleeding!"
Shen Caishen cried.
Hua Yueyu perked up, and there was indeed something hidden.
“Say it!”
Xia Hongyao pretended to stop Shen Caishen’s bleeding, but in fact it stopped just now. Those ticking sounds were the mineral water Lin Baici was dripping.
“A mysterious man came to me and said that many beautiful girls could not be sent to the emperor, so they were divided up by the princes and princes. He had a way to let my daughter Jin Chan escape from her shell, but to deceive the emperor, he would kill the nine tribes. How dare I commit such a serious crime?”
Shen Caishen cried: “I am just such a beloved daughter, I don’t want her to enter the palace at all, but the emperor’s order cannot be violated!”
"Who is that mysterious person?"
Gu Qingqiu asked.
“Do you think the other person will reveal his true colors when he comes to find me?”
Shen Caishen laughed at himself.
“The theme of the painting you painted in the study was not sadness!”
Lin Baici questioned: "Who, after the death of his only daughter, would still be in the mood to paint a picture of having fun with his grandson?"
"The boat that transported beautiful girls was burned. I know that the mysterious man must have taken action. , my daughter should have survived and not be ruined by those princes and grandsons, so I can’t help but feel a little lucky.”
Shen Caishen explained without having to be pressed by Lin Baici, and added another explanation: "I've seen those corpses, and they don't match my daughter's!"
"Isn't that right? I heard "You said the ship was burned to ashes, but you can still identify your daughter's body?"
Li Yintong frowned.
"Other show girls may die, but I am the famous Shen Caishen. Do you think my daughter is worth anything?"
Shen Caishen's tone was very proud: "Wait a few months, this matter After the limelight is over, someone will definitely come to me and ask me to redeem my daughter!"
"What you think is quite beautiful!"
Although Xia Hongyao was sarcastic, she felt that This is very likely.
“I don’t believe it!”
Gu Qingqiu narrowed his eyes: "Alumni, change the torture method and continue the torture!"
Lin Baici and Xia Hongyao changed two more criminal methods. After an hour of tossing, the result was still the same. of.
Lin Baici knocked Shen Caishen unconscious and threw him on the bed.
"There are two possibilities now. First, he does not know the whereabouts of his daughter. Second, he knows, but he loves his daughter so much that he would rather die than keep her daughter!"< br>
Gu Qingqiu analyzed: "I think the first one is more likely!"
"What should we do?"
Li Yintong couldn't think of a solution: "We can't wait a few months for the mysterious man to come to see this rich man. The day lilies are even cold!"
No one knows how long this rule pollution will last, but a few months is enough for them to die twice.
"Alumni, Hong Yao, please go over and kidnap the madam of the brothel where the brothel is!"
Gu Qingqiu arranged: "Yintong, take this guy , thrown outside the city!”
Two masters, Lin Baici and Xia Hongyao, took action. It was impossible for anything to happen. An hour later, Lin Baici returned to the small courtyard carrying an old woman on his shoulders.
As soon as the old lady wearing a hood woke up, she wanted to shout for help, but her mouth was already blocked.
"I ask, you answer, if you lie, I'll cut off one of your fingers!"
Gu Qingqiu's voice was cold: "Do you hear me clearly?"
" Uh-huh!”
The madam nodded hurriedly.
"Regarding the madam of your family, is there a mysterious person looking for you? Says there is a way to save her?"
As Gu Qingqiu asked, he took off the old madam's mouth. Cloth ball.
"No! No!"
After the old bustard finished speaking, he began to beg for mercy, crying with snot and tears: "I don't know anything, will you let me go?"
Gu Qingqiu asked Lin Bai the necessary questions and began to ask Lin Bai to use the torture method.
This old bustard is not as strong-willed as Shen Caishen. She even used torture before Lin Baici was tortured. However, in order to confirm the authenticity of the answer, 'torture' was still used.
The old bustard was so frightened that he fainted.
"There is no mysterious person looking for the madam. It seems that this innocent man is innocent!"
Xia Hongyao analysis.
"Wrong. Although the Madam said she has a good relationship with the Qinghuan, they are not family members after all, and most likely they are not a community of interests."
Gu Qingqiu corrected: "You should also find the mysterious person. Find a steward She is a poor man, and has no value other than beauty!”
“These beautiful ladies are all destined to be given to the emperor, and their appearance should not be bad.”
Hua Yueyu interrupted.
“If the mysterious person found the prostitute, it would be difficult to investigate, because a prostitute is welcomed and sent to and from every day, and she comes into contact with too many people!”
Jin Yingzhen frowned.
“The only thing that is certain is that there should be something wrong with the newly appointed punishment officer!”
Gu Qingqiu analyzed.
She just asked the madam, among the guests received by the madam some time before the fire, who went the most and who went the least?
After receiving these people, the Qingguo people had any special reaction.
The execution official went there twice, which was not too many times. However, as a newly appointed official, he knew that the emperor's draft was known and he still went to see the Qing shepherds. Isn't it unreasonable?
And this sentencing officer is currently in charge of this case.
Master Fu Yin wanted to solve the fire case, but a certain show girl accidentally knocked over an oil lamp, which resulted in a tragedy, but the executioner insisted on telling him that there was a hidden secret.
This is a group of people who are determined to rectify.
“This madam should know nothing.”
Gu Qingqiu arranged: "Hong Yao, Xiao Yu, Yin Tong, you keep an eye on Shen Caishen's home, find out who his confidants are, and then follow these confidants when they go out!"
" Hongyao, go collect the information about the executioner and the shepherd, not just from the surface and in the files, but also from the streets and alleys to find out everything about the three generations of their ancestors!”
" Alumni, go and check the properties of Shen Caishen, mainly his farm outside the city, as well as the temples and Taoist temples near the city... Any place where people can be hidden, check it out!"
In ancient times, when transportation was inconvenient and a road guide was needed to travel far away, it was impossible for a group of women to escape far away, so there was a high probability that they would hide somewhere in the suburbs.
At dawn, everyone changed their nest and started taking action.
The next two days were very busy for everyone.
After Shen Caishen returned home, he fell ill and was bedridden.
The Shen family is a large family, and many people come and go every day. Perhaps this kidnapping made him more vigilant. For three days, several of his confidants did not go out.
Lin Baici rode a horse and ran around the countryside for two days. He visited several temples and Taoist temples, and also went to several farms owned by Shen Caishen, but he didn't get much useful information.
Xia Hongyao tried his best to collect information.
The next night, the fisherman who went out to collect clues came back. After meeting Li Yintong, he was overjoyed to know that Lin Baici was here.
Now I don’t have to worry about it anymore.
Yudanguo is not afraid of fighting to the death, but what he is most afraid of is this kind of brain-shaking rules pollution.
After a brief greeting, everyone got down to business.
“Brother Yu, what have you gained?”
Lin Baici made a cup of coffee for Yudanguo.
To be honest, drinking this stuff in ancient times was a bit against the rules.
“The grandfather of the criminal officer and the grandfather of the Qing Guo Ren were elected in the same year.”
Yudan Lao has spent a lot of thought these days: “The Qing Guo Ren His father committed a crime and the family fell into direct financial ruin. , that girl also ended up in a brothel!”
“I think it was the prisoner who accidentally met his old friend’s daughter in Xiaoxiang Tower, so he planned this arson case for her sake!”
"Isn't this wrong?"
Jin Yingzhen doesn't agree: "Their relationship is as old as my grandfather's. Is it worth risking everything for a brothel prostitute?"
< br>If this is discovered, not only will he lose his official position, but the Nine Clan will be executed.
“Actually, we don’t need to figure out the ins and outs, just one point!”
Lin Baici raised his index finger: “Even if those beautiful ladies are not all alive, Qing Guan and Shen Caishen My daughters should be alive. As long as we find them, the answer will be solved!”
"The question is how to find it?"
Xia Hongyao racked his brains.
"If you ask me, I will kidnap the executioner and torture him directly!"
Yudan Guy clenched his fists: "I don't believe he won't do it!"
“It’s so unskilled to do this!”
Gu Qingqiu shook his head.
“Keep an eye on Shen Caishen’s house!”
Gu Qingqiu arranged: “Also, go and kidnap Mr. Fu Yin!”
That night, Yudan Man took action. Tie Fu Yin to the small courtyard.
The first thing Fu Yin did when he woke up was to yell loudly: "Who are you? Kidnapping an official of the imperial court is a capital crime!"
"I have a grudge against the executioner, and I want to see him die!"
The first sentence of Gu Qingqiu's opening sentence made Fu Yin calm down.
The enemy of my enemy is my friend.
“What do you want me to do?”
Fu Yin asked.
"Deploy all the detectives, soldiers and horses, and launch a city-wide manhunt. We must make the momentum louder."
Gu Qingqiu explained.
“You want to scare the snakes and make them get into trouble and jump out on their own initiative?”
Fu Yin was not stupid and immediately guessed Gu Qingqiu’s purpose.
“No way?”
Hua Yueyu saw that Fu Yin seemed to be in a dilemma.
"If you do this, if no evidence is found, I will be impeached!"
Fu Yin smiled bitterly: "And I am not qualified to search those wealthy mansions!"
< br>With such a search, the governor directly offended the local tycoons and squires, and it would be difficult to carry out various tasks in the future.
Of course, this is not an issue that Gu Qingqiu and the others care about.
"You either do it or die!"
Gu Qingqiu's voice was cold.
In a pool of stagnant water, things will appear only when it is moved.
Maybe those girls are also waiting for an opportunity. What I do is to create a chance for them to survive! (End of this chapter)
