Demon detective

Chapter 34 Grafting
An hour later.

Outside the gate of the county yamen, shouts came from far and near. Qiu Batian's subordinates who were staying at Zuixianju, after receiving the news that Qiu Batian was arrested by the yamen, came to rescue people with weapons.

They thought that just like last time, as long as they came to the Yamen to exert pressure, they could take Qiu Batian back.

As everyone knows, this was all arranged by the head catcher Cheng Xiao in advance, and the news was deliberately released to them in order to let them come forward and throw themselves into the trap.

Sure enough, as soon as they entered the gate of the county government, they were completely covered by a large net that fell from the sky.

Immediately afterwards, without waiting for these people to react, the servants went up with water and fire sticks and beat them wildly, until these people were crying and crying...

It took a long time to beat up a stick of incense before the big net was withdrawn. Looking at these Qiu Batian's subordinates, they had already been beaten to the point of bleeding and bruises all over their bodies, which was too horrible to look at.

Cheng Xiao ordered people to take them all into the Nanjian Prison, and at the same time check the number of people against the list to see if any fish slipped through the net.

In this operation, not only did they want to capture Qiu Batian alive, but they also couldn't let go of any of Qiu Batian's subordinates.

After the inventory was completed, all of Qiu Batian's men were arrested, and the arrest went very smoothly.

"Go." However, Cheng Xiao knew that this was just the beginning, and immediately ordered a team of arresters, "Go to Zuixianju now, and arrest Qiu Batian's maids, servants, housekeepers, coachmen, etc. for interrogation! "

"Yes!" The police officers took the order and carried it out immediately, and they all went to Zuixianju with their weapons.

The next thing is the most critical thing!

Thinking of the upcoming interrogation of Qiu Batian, Cheng Xiao really thought of Xu Zhen. He took a deep breath and asked Fu Bin, "How is Xu Zhen doing now?"

"Well," Fu Bin shook his head, "You know Shen Yu's hand strength, I'm afraid I won't be able to wake up for a while, even if I wake up, I'm afraid I won't be able to slow down..."

"Hmph," Cheng Xiao snorted coldly, "I don't believe it's such a coincidence, go, get a basin of cold water, pretend that you don't want to water him, and test the truth!"

"This... arresting the head, but..." Fu Bin said awkwardly, "Then Shen Yu has been guarding Xu Zhen, I'm afraid... I'm afraid it's not easy to handle?"

"It's okay, I'll send her away later! If it doesn't work, I'll just prick him with a needle..." Cheng Xiao squinted his eyes and was planning a trick against Xu Zhen, but the voice of the county magistrate Song Zhili suddenly came from behind him .

"Cheng Butou," County Magistrate Song asked, "Has everyone been caught?"

Seeing the county magistrate approaching, Fu Bin tactfully stepped aside.

"Catch them all," Cheng Xiao hurriedly answered with cupped fists, "I have sent people to arrest those handymen and servants in Zuixianju, please rest assured, my lord, there will be none missing!"

"Very good," County Magistrate Song nodded in satisfaction, and said again, "The criminals are all here, and the next step is the interrogation! Captain Cheng, please remember, you must make a clear confession, and there is no leakage..."

Beforehand, Song Zhili and Chen Houlu had already drawn up a detailed confession. As long as Qiu Batian and his men could confess the corresponding crimes, they could turn black into white, and the murder of Old Man Li's father and daughter would be cleared. Completely grafted onto Qiu Batian's body!

Of course, despite the large scale of the case, torture into tricks is a common tactic used by the yamen. From the county magistrate to the yamen servants, everyone is familiar with it.

"Don't worry, my lord," Cheng Xiao said, "Everything has been arranged!"

"Hmm...that...Cheng Butou..." Song Zhili pondered for a few seconds, then approached Cheng Xiao, and said in a low voice, "As for this Qiu Batian, it's safer for you to interrogate him!"

"This..." Cheng Xiao's heart skipped a beat. It seemed that Song Zhili had already heard that he was planning to arrange Xu Zhen's affairs.

old fox...

Cheng Xiao cursed inwardly, Song Zhili obviously didn't want himself to stay out of the matter, as long as he entrusted him with the task of interrogating Qiu Batian, it would be tantamount to dragging himself into the water completely.

However, the county magistrate was the immediate boss after all, so Cheng Xiao had no choice but to bite the bullet and agree.

"Yes."

He said yes, but his expression was obviously full of resistance.

"Cheng Butou," Song Zhili naturally saw Cheng Xiao's thoughts, and immediately lowered his voice and said again, "you can go to the interrogation at ease! To tell you the truth, I have received definite news that the Minister of the Ministry of Officials...has been suspended for investigation Already!"

"Ah!?" Cheng Xiao was shocked again, and only then remembered the letter Song Zhili had received before.

It turned out that the content of the letter was like this, no wonder Song Zhili was determined to catch Qiu Batian!

In this way, it means that Qiu Batian has no backer, and the remaining things are obviously easy to handle...

"So," Song Zhili smiled slightly, "Don't worry about your future, go ahead and do it boldly! I'm sure that the person who framed Qiu Batian just wanted to take advantage of this incident to bring down the Minister of the Ministry of Officials, so... if we It would be too worthless to be implicated in this matter!"

"Oh...Understood, I understand!" Cheng Xiao nodded vigorously, he naturally understood that as long as the Yamen put all the charges on Qiu Batian, then they could be saved from this political game.

"but……"

However, Cheng Xiao seemed to have thought of something, and was just about to ask Song Zhili, but a dusty man suddenly ran in at the gate of the yamen.

"Hey?" Cheng Xiao's eyes widened. It turned out that this person was the arrester he had arranged to go to Daguan City to investigate the situation. He hurriedly asked, "Xiao Lin, why are you back?"

"Cheng Butou, Master Song," the policeman named Xiao Lin hurriedly came to the front, bowed and saluted, and then he couldn't wait to report, "No, we have found accurate information, those who sued...the people who sued... ...Hoohoo..."

The visitor was out of breath, Song Zhili hastily reminded: "Don't worry, speak slowly."

Xiao Lin hurriedly calmed down, and then continued to report: "My lord, the military lords from the state capital are also coming! They will set off early tomorrow morning, there are military lords, there are county guards, who want... come to us to deal with old man Li. case……"

"Oh?"

Song Zhili was taken aback, his brows were instantly furrowed.

Joining the army is equivalent to the director of the provincial public security department, and the county guard is the top leader of the mayor.

Logically speaking, to deal with such a county-level petition case, it would be enough for the county government to send a second-in-command to come over, but now even the army from the state government is also involved, which shows that this matter has alarmed the superiors, which shows that the situation is serious.

Daguan City is only thirty or forty miles away from Yanping County. If you leave tomorrow morning, you can arrive on the same day.

"It's time to come, it will always come..." Song Zhili suppressed his excitement forcibly, and then went through the whole incident in his heart, and then said to Cheng Xiao, "Cheng Butou, it's not too late. Tonight, we must Complete the interrogation, let everyone sign and draw a pledge, and plead guilty!"

"Yes!" Cheng Xiao agreed, and his heart was surging. He had been a police officer for so many years, and he had never encountered such a difficult case.

"Also," Song Zhili said again, "we have to make a sample. Once the confession is completed, we will issue a notice tomorrow morning, announcing the viciousness of Qiu Batian and others, and then have a parade in the street before the superior arrives!! !"

"Ah? This..." Cheng Xiao seemed to feel something was wrong, but he also knew that the situation had developed like this, and there was nothing to stop it.

"Okay," Song Zhili said, "Since that's the case, let's hurry up! I'll go to Chen Xiancheng now to discuss tomorrow's reception..."

After speaking, Song Zhili turned around and wanted to leave.

"My lord, my lord..." Unexpectedly, Cheng Xiao suddenly stopped him and asked in a low voice, "Other people's crimes are easy to deal with, but...the two jailers...you see..."

What Cheng Xiao meant was that since Old Man Li was killed by someone sent by Qiu Batian, there must be a murderer, and the identities of these two jailers have also become crucial.

Although they are innocent, it seems that they cannot be innocent.

Unexpectedly, Song Zhili did not hesitate at all, and said decisively: "Both of them were bought by Qiu Batian, let them confess their crimes!"

"Oh..." Cheng Xiao's heart skipped a beat again. Although he knew that Song Zhili would not let the two jailers go, he never expected to be so cruel and decisive...
