Martial Arts and Longevity: Starting from the Spiritual Beast Picture

Chapter 78 Arrest

After a night, the sky brightened.

In the forbidden room outside the county government prison, a rough and bearded man held a wine glass in one hand and picked peanuts from a plate with his chopsticks in the other.

"Tutou, are you so interested in drinking early in the morning?"

A tall young man in a headhunting shirt walked in.

"So it's Catcher Zhao, come to have a drink?" the rough man turned his head and grinned.

"No, I have to arrest people in the morning."

It was Zhao Lin who came. He went to the table and sat down, took a wine pot and poured a glass, and said: "I heard that Tutou is proficient in one hundred and eight kinds of torture. Today I am going to interrogate a prisoner outside. I don't know." Do you have time to help?"

The rough man is the head of the prison cell. His real name is Tu Wuyan.

Zhao Lin's plan was to arrest the shopkeeper first and force him to find out the authentic exit. In order to prevent the shopkeeper from not confessing and wasting time, he came to this "professional".

"really?"

Tu Wuyan's eyes lit up, and he rubbed his hands together a few times like flies, "Yes, that's great! When are you leaving?"

Seeing his impatient look, Zhao Lin smiled and said, "About half an hour."

Tu Wuyan stood up with a "huh", almost knocking over the table, turned around and pulled out a wooden box from under the bed, opened it to check his "tools".

Zhao Lin glanced at it, and saw that there were dozens of strange instruments of torture in the wooden box, such as finger clamps, bone-piercing nails, and meat grinding stones.

"What a talent!"

Zhao Lin knew that he had found the right person, he stood up and cupped his hands and said, "Tutou, let's make a deal, see you at the gate of the yamen later."

"Don't worry, I'll be there!" Tu Wuyan said without looking back.

Zhao Lin left the forbidden room and returned to the police room.

There are no.

Originally, these people were joking and chatting, but when they saw Zhao Lin coming in, they immediately quieted down.

"Captain Zhao, when will we arrest people? We were waiting here yesterday for nothing."

"Yeah, Catcher Zhao won't play tricks on us, will he?"

Shi Dahai and Jin Liqun complained.

Zhao Lin glanced at the crowd, and said slowly: "Shi Butou, Jin Butou, brothers, I have found out where the murderer is hiding, and we are leaving now!"

Both Shi Dahai and Jin Liqun were startled, the former asked: "Captain Zhao, where is the murderer now, and what cultivation level is he?"

Zhao Lin didn't hide anything, and said: "The murderer is in the Yunlai Inn, and he is a martial artist."

"Atmosphere?"

Shi Dahai's complexion changed, "We are all in the strength realm, I'm afraid it's not easy to get it? Why don't you let Captain Sun..."

"Don't mention Captain Sun!"

Zhao Lin interrupted him coldly, "There is only one murderer, so why should we have so many people to be afraid of? Now go to the armory, bring all the armor and bow and crossbow, even if he has three heads and six arms, he won't be able to escape."

After finishing speaking, he didn't pay any attention to his refutation, turned around and walked out of the police room.

When facing ordinary people, the police force is sufficient to suppress them, but when facing warriors, especially those with high cultivation, they must rely on numbers and equipment to fill the gap in strength.

There are strong bows and crossbows, excellent armor, and all kinds of long weapons in the armory. Many people use them together. Even blood-level warriors dare not go straight to the front.

Zhao Lin led a group of arresting officers to the armory and showed their badges to the gatekeepers.

"28 sets of armor, seven bows, fifteen hard crossbows, twenty triangular forks, twenty catties of poisonous grass..."

Zhao Lin directed everyone to move the equipment out, while the officials took notes from the side.

He picked out a large infantry armor, which weighed about fifty catties, and he didn't find it difficult to put it on, but it was more difficult to wear.

By the time everyone was dressed, nearly half an hour had passed.

Zhao Lin's eyes flicked across everyone's faces. Although the arresters were dressed in tough clothes and looked imposing, their morale was not very high.

The reason is not difficult to understand. Most of the arrests come from martial arts gyms. They are old and have no pursuit of martial arts, and they don't want to fight outside, so they enter the yamen to find a stable job.

Quickly earn a few taels of silver a month as a dry catcher. It is fine to catch ordinary people, but it is absolutely impossible to fight desperately with martial arts masters.

"Bros!"

Zhao Lin decided to mobilize them before departure, "We are facing a ruthless lunatic this time. Needless to say, it is dangerous, but..."

"Are we shrinking because of the danger? The people in Dongcheng are in fear all day long, even going out are afraid to death, shouldn't we, as policemen, solve problems for the people?"

"Which family doesn't have a daughter, what if one day it's your own relatives who are murdered?"

What he said was impassioned, but the arresters were indifferent and numb.

"These people are too unaware..."

Zhao Lin shook his head secretly, had no choice but to change his strategy, and took out two 50 taels of silver notes and a few ingots of official silver from under his skirt.

"As long as the criminal is caught, no matter whether there is a reward in the county, the money will be comforted to the brothers."

Since I lack prestige and popularity, I can only use money to open the way.

Last time, he got 200 taels of silver from killing Ruanxin Liang Anhua. Recently, he spent a lot of money, and there were more than a hundred taels left, which was basically all taken out.

All the arresters looked at each other in blank dismay. They had never seen a head arrester who paid for the prisoner himself.

A slightly older police officer asked, "Captain Zhao is serious?"

Zhao Lin didn't talk nonsense, and directly handed over the money to Shi Dahai, "Please take care of Shi Butou, and I will share it with everyone after completing the task. Believe it now?"

"But the ugly words are up front, whoever dares to run away without working hard will get nothing!"

"Yes!" The policemen responded in unison, finally getting a little angry.

"Captain Zhao, the carriage is ready." He Qingquan came over and said.

"it is good!"

Zhao Lin divided the arresters into three teams, with Shi Dahai and Jin Liqun each leading a team, and it turned out that Sun Zhang's men were in charge of him.

Everyone walked out of the county government office and boarded the three carriages in front of the government office.

This was Zhao Lin's first time leading a team, so he was a little nervous, trying to sort out his thoughts, and went through his mind about what to do first and what to do next.

"Is this to arrest people?"

The carriage gallops down the street, attracting the attention of pedestrians.

"The arresters are all wearing armor. I'm afraid they'll meet some troublesome people." Someone next to him said.

After a while, the carriage arrived at the entrance of Yunlai Inn.

The policemen, carrying bows and crossbows and holding triangular forks, came down from the cart one after another.

"Shi Butou, Jin Butou, help guard the inn, don't let anyone in or out, the rest follow me in and arrest people!"

Zhao Lin ordered someone to break into the inn.

Although Shi Dahai and Jin Liqun were not convinced that Zhao Lin rode on their heads, they knew the benefits and ordered the arresters to surround the inn.

"Catcher, what are you..."

It was still early in the morning, and the man on duty at night was awakened by the noise, seeing Zhao Lin and the others rushing in with full armor, he was so frightened that he could hardly speak.

"The yamen runs errands, and people who have nothing to do with it wait to retreat!"

Zhao Lin yelled, then turned to He Qingquan and said, "Three men, one who feeds the horses, two who run errands, and four in the back kitchen...don't let any of them go away."

He wasn't sure if the shopkeeper had any accomplices in the inn, so he simply arrested him and rushed into the lounge behind the counter with a few policemen.
