Chapter 28 28: County Lord, the truth
Looking at his apprentice's reluctance, Wang Captou's expression was quite warm, but his words were very harsh: "If you don't reply, what else do you want?"
"Aren't we here to investigate the connection between Xuanzhen Temple and the Xue Mansion massacre?"
The young detective looked a little confused: "A slave in the Xue Mansion has confessed that Xue County Magistrate found a group of ruffians to cause trouble for Xuanzhenguan. We have also verified that he was the one who found those men in black.
Looking at it this way, Xuanzhen Guan has a motive for revenge.
And Taoist Master Chu, who can join hands with you, Master, is very capable. It is said that he is also knowledgeable in secret arts. Isn’t he the most suspected? ”
After hearing this, Wang Captou couldn't help but shake his right hand, which was still numb until now!
Is this more than just strength?
This is simply an incredible display of strength, okay?
An eighteen-year-old who has perfected bone training or is a master of visceral martial arts is so insignificant in your mouth?
In other words, the other party saved face, otherwise he would have to lie on the ground and eat dirt now!
Of course, I thought so, but I couldn't say it. After a pause, he said: "Sirius, let me ask you, according to the people in the Xue Mansion, the murderer last night was a tall man, two meters away, with a monkey. Mask, face cannot be seen clearly.
And this Taoist Master Chu is just a little bit different from you. Does his body type match? ”
"No!"
"That means there is no direct evidence."
Wang Captou said again: "Moreover, Xuanzhenguan encountered gangsters last night. They fought all night and were exhausted. They reported it to the officials in the morning. Can we say that there was no time to commit the crime?"
"But, a martial arts master can run under the stars at night?"
"Do you have evidence?"
"No!"
"Then when our government handles cases, do we pay attention to evidence or groundless speculation?"
When Wang Captou said this, he didn't give Liu Zi a chance to interrupt, and looked at everyone: "If there is no evidence, you can't touch it, so don't touch it. Do you understand?"
"Yes, head catcher!"
Seeing that Liu Zi was still a little dissatisfied, Wang Baotou slapped him on the shoulder and said, "Do you understand?"
"I heard it, but, but..."
"It's nothing, Liuzi, remember, the water is very deep here, and Master will not harm you."
Liuzi felt a little aggrieved, but still said: "I understand, Master!"
"It's good to know."
Saying this, Wang Captou couldn't help but glance at his arm.
The numbness there is no longer numb, but the skin is congested and purple, and has become bigger.
After a pause, he said to all the detectives: "From now on, be more aggressive with your tactics, and remember to be more polite to those who believe in Xuan Zhen Guan. Don't offend if you can!"
……
A group of police officers leaving the city is nothing, but bringing back twenty or thirty corpses is quite scary.
In a small donkey cart, the corpses were piled higher than people. Two straw mats covered it, which made it look very thin. It was not covered tightly, and there were many hands and feet hanging out from the corners. .
On the ground, under the donkey cart, there was a long trail of blood, which looked extremely horrifying.
Before the donkey cart reached the city gate, it attracted the attention of passers-by, who followed and watched unconsciously.
And this situation becomes even more serious after entering the city.
In the end, it was Wang Baotou who opened the way, banging the long knife in his hand without sheath, and finally managed to carve out a way.
But the matter has already caused a sensation. Even if Baisha City is quite big, the death of dozens of people is not a small matter.
When the donkey cart drove into the Yamen, there were those who were well-informed and inquired through various channels, and there were also insiders who released specific information.
There is no other way, so the government office looks strict, but in fact it is a big funnel, and any news can be spread to the outside world.
Then, everyone knew that there was a group of thieves who wanted to rob Xuanzhen Temple, but the Taoist priests of Xuanzhen Temple killed them all and no one escaped.
It must be said that after the death of the old Taoist Xuanzhen, the reputation of Xuanzhen Temple has really plummeted.
There is no way, the facade has fallen, and the oldest Chu Zhou is left, who is only 17 or 18 years old.
People always wonder how much virtue such young people can have?
But this time, several Taoist priests killed each other indiscriminately, which gave Xuanzhen Temple some face.
Of course, this is nothing, because what the well-informed people found out was not only the matter of Xuan Zhen Guan, but also the case of Xue Mansion last night.
In Baisha City, the county magistrate Mr.
But it was even more shocking that such a big shot was beaten to death at home, and that twenty or thirty nursing staff were also killed or injured.
More news came out that the murderer was a strong man nine feet tall, with arms so thick he could run a horse, and thighs as strong as a bucket. With one punch, half of the house would collapse.
What, don’t believe it?
Then go to Xue Mansion and have a look. Are many places in ruins?
Overnight, two cases occurred, with dozens of people killed and injured. This is a major event that has never happened in Baisha City in more than ten years.
Speaking of this, it actually has little to do with the people at the bottom, it is far away from their lives!
But, people’s hearts are like this, and they only need a reason to become restless.
Of course, the common people just followed behind and made noises. The ones who were really afraid were the aristocratic and wealthy families in Baisha City.
They knew more or less some key information, especially the families and gangs who had been sharpening their knives and preparing to attack Xuan Zhen Guan. They were even more frightened!
For example, the Zhan family behind Zhanji Drug Store, and Zou Wuye from the Sihai Gang, seemed a little uneasy almost after receiving the news.
They have certainly made a lot of arrangements.
For example, the Zhan family invited Tang Conggang, the owner of Tianying Martial Arts School, to serve as a bodyguard, while Master Zou hid in the headquarters of the Sihai Gang and transferred back most of his elite members from the four major halls.
Of course, it's not just them who have a headache, but also the county magistrate of Baisha County.
……
Government Office,
Deep inside the prison. A middle-aged man wearing regular clothes, with a slightly rounded body and a bookish air, kept pacing in the morgue.
He stopped in front of each corpse, looking up and down carefully. He would also turn over a certain corpse, and from time to time he would make slight gestures on the wounds, showing that he was very serious.
But his expression was ugly, and he didn't know whether it was because of the bad smell in the cell or the bloody remains of dozens of corpses.
And he stayed the longest in front of Xue Xian Cheng and Taoist Tao Po.
Because of his silence, the air pressure in the entire morgue was extremely low, so low that several detectives and gangsters did not even dare to breathe.
Finally, he stopped, raised his head, glanced at the policeman and the gangster, and said, "You all, get out!"
"Yes!"
A group of people fled away as if they were fleeing. Only Wang Capt did not move his head, but his eyes were moving, as if he was thinking about something.
After a while, there was no one in the morgue, and the middle-aged man also came to Wang Baotou and said, "Tell me, what happened?"
Wang Captou said in a low voice: "Your Excellency, the evidence is not comprehensive yet. It is difficult to say what it is..."
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
"Don't tell me such nonsense!"
Before Mr. Wang finished speaking, he was rudely interrupted. The county magistrate looked furious: "In the two cases, not counting the injured, a total of thirty-five people died, including one Xian Cheng, a Taoist who has practiced secret arts
What do you think I will get in the government’s evaluation of officials this year? ”
"Inferior! Inferior! This is what I can already see!"
"I am an official, you can fool me, but as long as Baisha County is safe and secure and my career is promising, I don't mind being deaf or blind."
"But if you make me lose hope now, don't blame me for tossing you. If I'm not having a good time, it will definitely be even worse for you. So, don't play dirty tricks with me. I want to know the truth, all the truth, and then, again Find a way to fix this mess ”
The county magistrate's voice became louder and louder, and in the end it became a roar, echoing in the depths of the prison, which shocked the policemen outside and hid further away.
As for Wang Baotou, he faced all the anger and was sprayed with blood. He was in the realm of a bone-training warrior and his body could not stop shaking.
Finally venting his emotions, the county magistrate spoke again, his voice extremely calm: "Tell me, what exactly is going on?"
This time, Wang Captou no longer dared to talk nonsense, but told everything he knew, so there seemed to be whispers in the dark dungeon.
"According to the news I got from the Sihai Gang, after the death of the old Taoist Xuanzhen, someone was eyeing the property of Xuanzhenguan. They gathered together to prepare for courtesy first and then attack. The leader was Xue County Cheng..."
"Xuan Zhen Guan, that Taoist Master Chu also has a temper, so he refused!"
"Xue family, the chief steward Xue Nu was killed in public. It is said that he died from an evil spirit seeking his life..."
"Master Chu Xiaodao visited the Iron Spear Martial Arts School, and martial artist Wei's wife went to Xuanzhen Temple to offer incense for three days in a row..."
"Xue County Cheng offered favorable conditions and searched for masters of secret arts everywhere..."
"A group of gangsters from the east of the city were driven by Xue County Cheng to go to Xuanzhen Temple and were killed. There were two bone practitioners behind them, and they also died..."
"Then someone went directly to the Xue Mansion and killed Xue County Cheng and the master of secret arts..."
As the saying goes, cats have their own catwalks and rats have their own paths. This king's head hunter seemed casual, but in just one day, he had a rough idea of all the situations through various channels.
As for the report to the county magistrate, he did not reveal the so-called truth. He only gave the information from the investigation, but he also vaguely told a complete line.
Finally, the county magistrate narrowed his eyes slightly and said: "According to your statement, it was actually that idiot Xue Minghua who wanted to seize Xuanzhenguan's land and property, but he hit the iron plate."
"You still didn't want to give up after a housekeeper died, so you found a master of secret arts. But it was just a test, so someone knocked on the door and killed him together with the so-called master of secret arts?"
Mr. Wang nodded and said: "Judging from the available information, it should be like this!
However, there is no direct evidence to prove that it was Taoist Master Chu who killed Xue County Cheng and the Taoist last night. ”
"Is it possible that it really isn't him?"
"It is possible, and the possibility is very high, but if so, we need to find out, is there another Zang martial arts master standing behind Xuanzhen Temple?"
"That's it!"
As if he had figured out the whole truth, the county magistrate's temper was suppressed. After pacing around in a circle, he suddenly asked: "Since this is all caused by Xuanzhen Guan, how about arresting him directly?"
Wang Captou looked embarrassed: "This..."
"Speak directly!"
Facing the county magistrate directly, he did not mention any evidence, but said directly: "I'm afraid it's not easy. I worked with that Taoist Master Chu today, not to mention the secret techniques, just in terms of martial arts, he is not inferior to me. ! ”
"Does that mean bone training is complete?"
"I'm afraid it's higher!"
"He is only seventeen or eighteen, how can he be so powerful?"
Wang Captou shook his right hand again: "It's true!"
"So, the county captain must take action and bring enough soldiers. He must also consider secret techniques, prevent failure, and be careful about counterattacks..."
After thinking about it like this, the county magistrate frowned even more tightly, because it was really not cost-effective.
Abruptly, he asked: "It is said that Master Wei of the Iron Spear Martial Arts School is on good terms with that Taoist Master Chu?"
"Yes!"
"In that case, send me an invitation to the Iron Gun Martial Arts Hall. I want to meet the owner of the hall."
"What do you mean?"
"Since they have this strength, they can naturally get on the card table and count as one share. Of course, the premise is that the little Taoist priest is also sensible."
The county magistrate said this, and then said: "I remember that Master Wei is a disciple of Husha Pavilion. At this time, the family should have gone to Husha Mountain?"
"That's right!"
"Then just wait a few days. People with strength can always get some preferential treatment!"
Sometimes I also think, if I had the energy to study this book, my grades would probably be much better!
