late Qing Dynasty arrest

At the entrance of Hongchang Hutong, Jin Erzi and Huang Tianshi were already waiting for Li Guolou in the tea shop. The two sides exchanged a few words, and Li Guolou went home first to get his luggage.Li Guolou's flower head, all his subordinates already knew, Jin Erzi saw Chen Xiangfang and hurriedly called out: "Sister-in-law!"

Li Guolou said anxiously: "Second son Jin, don't bark, call Miss Chen."

Chen Xiangfang said softly: "Jin Erzi, it doesn't matter, any name is fine."

Li Guolou shook his head and fled quickly, everyone here is familiar, so if you make such a joke, don't mess around here in the future.

When Li Guolou returned to the courtyard, he didn't dare to close the door, for fear of being misunderstood that he and Chen Xiangfang were having sex in the room.He has a leather suitcase and a rattan suitcase. He has been used to being independent since he was a child, and he is very familiar with packing his luggage.

Chen Xiangfang saw that Li Guolou had to bring such a bunch of things when he went out for two days, and said dissatisfiedly: "Xiaolou, you are too picky, old man, just lie down and sleep wherever you go."

Li Guolou retorted: "I'm calling everything without asking for help. Xiaofang will buy you a complete set in the future."

Chen Xiangfang shook her head and said, "Xiaolou, the more I see you, the more you look like a young gentleman. No wonder you don't have a girlfriend yet."

While packing his bags, Li Guolou said, "Xiaofang, there are a lot of people saying this, and I'm used to it. I still have a lot of nicknames, so I can lean on them."

The more Chen Xiangfang looked at Li Guolou, the more she felt that he was cute and playful. He was never angry, and could get along with everyone around him in harmony. With love in his heart, he folded several clothes neatly.

Li Guolou took western ink and a quill. Chen Xiangfang looked awkward and asked, "Xiaolou, why don't you use a brush?"

Li Guolou said: "I want to take notes at night, and the writing speed is fast with a quill pen, and it is also suitable for carrying around."

Chen Xiangfang sighed: "I'm going to teach your mother-in-law today, what's going on in your mind, Xiaolou? Why are you different from others?"

Li Guolou stared at Chen Xiangfang and said, "So I am suitable to be a fast catcher, and I can analyze problems most thoroughly."

After finishing the two boxes, Li Guolou held them in his hands and said, "Xiaofang, I'm leaving."

Chen Xiangfang put the black scarf on for Li Guolou, and the two could smell each other's breath, watching each other silently, with deep feelings in their hearts.

Chen Xiangfang said softly: "It's windy outside the city, don't catch a cold, come to me first when you come back. Only a fool like you is willing to investigate this kind of unresolved case."

Li Guolou felt warm in his heart, and nodded slightly: "Don't worry, I just went to see the scene of the crime. This kind of case can't be solved. Either I was abducted or died. But when I saw the bloody handprint, I couldn't help thinking Do justice, maybe I can find the living yellow-haired girl. Tell Lingling, I will bring the gift box to her."

Chen Xiangfang took a box from Li Guolou, and the two of them each carried a box and stepped out of the yard, making everyone look sideways.It's really like a family traveling together.Let Qian Shuiping, who was saying hello in the yard, make up his mind to flatter Chen Xiangfang in the future.

The bitter north wind could not extinguish the heat in Li Guolou's heart, so he waved farewell to Chen Xiangfang, hoping that there would be such a beautiful parting scene in the next business trip.

The roads in the capital are all straight, smooth and solid. The carriages drive westward and leave the city gate. The fields are barren and desolate. In the early winter season, there are few pedestrians.People on the road saw the carriage passing by, and there were always people waving for a free ride.The last woman with a baby in her arms gave her an advantage.

While chatting with Huang Tian, ​​Li Guolou learned about the situation in Huang Village, the family of the missing girl, Huang Tian's family is already the second.A year ago, a little girl disappeared. As for why the police did not solve the case, the Huangtian family believed that it was Huang Kaohao, the village official of Huangcun. This was because after the incident, Huang Kaohao wanted to buy her with 50 taels of silver.

Li Guolou was thinking in his heart, either the village chief Huang Kaohao was a kind person who wanted to help the helpless widow Huang Tian, ​​and did wrong things at the wrong time, causing Huang Tian to misunderstand.Either Huang Kaohao really sold the little girl Huang Yinyin to a trafficker, and he felt ashamed to return the money he got to Huang Tian's family, but this possibility is too small.There is also a reasonable explanation, the village official Huang Kao fell in love with the widow Huang Tian, ​​and wanted to help her when Huang Tian was in distress.

Li Guolou took a few glances at Huang Tian's family, dressed as a countryman, not yet 40 years old, with a dark complexion and fine lines at the corners of his eyes, he still has the appearance of a village girl, but as for?A large village with nearly a thousand people will take a fancy to this kind of village girl.

Li Guolou never thought that others would think of him the same way, as for a little widow with a bottle of oil.

The woman with the child in her arms was surnamed Liu, who lived in Gu Village next to Huang Village. The Liu family knew Huang Tian's family because the case had been widely circulated here.Jin Erzi has the experience of being a police officer and starts chatting with Liu Shi.

After chatting some gossip, Jin Erzi asked, "Mr. Liu, is anyone missing in your village?"

A five-year-old boy has been held in Li Guolou's arms, and the two are playing a jigsaw puzzle together.This is Li Guolou's favorite toy since he was a child, and he always carries it with him when he goes out, and this time it will come in handy.

Mrs. Liu glanced at Mrs. Huang Tian and sighed, "Our place is fine, nothing like this has ever happened."

Several people started to play with the children, and they were not very interested in talking about the case.

After a while, Mrs. Liu suddenly said: "Jin Baotou, I remembered that there was a rape and murder case in our village two years ago. A little girl was raped and murdered. The case has not been solved yet."

Li Guolou asked anxiously, "Are there any suspects?"

Mrs. Liu said angrily: "It must have been done by the second man in our village, but he refused to admit it. He was beaten forty times and still refused to admit it. Anyway, he was released after half a year. Now everyone in our village Leave it to Er Manzi."

"Oh!" Li Guolou said, "I will visit your village when I have time."

Mrs. Liu looked up and down at Li Guolou's strange attire, and asked suspiciously, "Who are you?"

Jin Erzi said anxiously: "Mr. Liu, this is my officer. He has traveled abroad, so his dress is a little different from ours."

Mrs. Liu looked at Li Guolou carefully again, and pressed his face to Li Guolou's, which made Jin Erzi laugh.

Liu sighed: "Oh! It's really different from us, a bit like the Japanese devils."

Li Guolou said angrily: "Mr. Liu, what kind of vision do you have? Am I that short?"

This time Huang Tian also laughed out loud, the sadness will always pass, and there will be laughter when you are alive.

Li Guolou's jigsaw puzzle was given to the child. On the fork in the road, Mrs. Liu hugged the child and bid farewell to Li Guolou. It was getting closer and closer to Huangcun, and it was almost dusk. People in the carriage.Before reaching the village, there were already a group of children surrounding the carriage.

Li Guolou asked: "Master Huang Tian, ​​why are they following us?"

Huang Tian smiled, stroked the hair on his forehead, and said, "Captain Li, they want to ask you for candy. You can see that you are rich, so they want to get a reward."

Li Guolou realized that when he came to the village, he had to pay for the road, which was a few pennies for candy.

Li Guolou raised his head, and Jin Erzi understood, took out a handful of copper coins and sprinkled them on the side of the road.

"Oh;;;;;;" more than a dozen children rushed over to pick up the copper coins that fell on the ground.

The carriage drove to the entrance of the east village of Huangcun. Farmhouses were scattered on both sides of the road, and a small river flowed by the side of the road clearly.Li Guolou jumped out of the carriage and looked at the crowd around him. This place is harmonious and uncontested, the smoke is lingering, and the smell of food makes Li Guolou feel hungry.

Huang Tian led Li Guolou and Jin Erzi to the home of Huang Bing, Baozheng, who was the village security officer.The overnight accommodation of Li Guolou and Jin Erzi should be arranged by Baozheng Huang Bing.The two big men are not suitable for living in Huangtian's house, and the Huangtian's house is also a little run-down, not suitable for officials to live in.

There is a village office in the village, which is the place where the village works, and there is also a place for the chief who comes to the village to inspect and handle affairs.But this is not the best place to stay in Huangcun, the best house is the mansion that Huang Kao, the village leader, has prepared.

Huang Bing asked Li Guolou if he had any taboos?Where are you going to live?

Li Guolou glanced at the Huang Tian family next to him, and said, "Huang Baozheng, we are guests as you please, and you will arrange all the board and lodging for the evening. Now let's take a look at Huang Tian's home and the scene of the crime. I'm coming back for dinner, we don't drink, we don't have a banquet. Do you understand?"

How dare Huang Bing offend the chief who came from the capital, he nodded repeatedly, and asked his subordinates to arrange accommodation and dinner, and he followed Li Guolou's side and went to Huangtian's house.

As the sun was setting, there were loud voices calling their children to go home for dinner, but many children were still running around outside, playing on the road despite the cold wind.A dozen or so children were still chasing after Li Guolou, pointing furtively, as if they were the Nian army, trying to wipe them out in the ocean of the people.

The tougher the place, the more people can be trained. People in the village are not afraid of the cold. Most of the villagers do not wear padded jackets.

Rich people are different. Baozheng Huang Bing wears a dog fur cap and shrinks his neck, with his hands intertwined in his sleeves, as if afraid of the cold.

Li Guolou looked awkward, and said casually: "Huang Baozheng, you look like a coward, how can you defend your hometown when robbers come, stretch out your hands for me, keep your waist straight, and walk well. I am not Manchurian, I do not need slaves."

Jin Erzi kicked Li Guolou, telling Li Guolou to understand and stop talking nonsense, the people here are ignorant people, if they sue Li Guolou for conspiracy, it is not a big joke.

Huang Bing was obedient, and he no longer bowed down. It seemed that this person had a resilient personality, and it was possible to return to his true nature as a villager.

The village is quite big, and Li Guolou walked for more than 20 minutes before arriving at Huang Tian's home.The courtyards of the villagers are all very large, with chickens and ducks in them, and a grass dog, jumping and jumping excitedly when the owner comes back.This place is to the west of Huangcun, almost the end of the village.Going further to the west, the distribution of farmhouses becomes loose, and they are no longer located in the village.

Li Guolou and Jin Erzi walked around Huangtian's house, and Jin Erzi seriously began to draw the layout of Huangtian's house at the dinner table.This is a compulsory course for the police, because most of the time the chief does not come to the scene of the crime. He only sees the map drawn by the police who arrived at the scene to know what the scene of the crime looks like.

Li Guolou looked down at Jin Erzi's paintings for a while, and he had a good look. Every straight line seemed to be drawn with a ruler.

Li Guolou turned his head and asked, "Huang Baozheng, do you have the household registration information and detailed map of Huang Village?"

Huang Bing nodded and said: "Yes! Captain Li, don't worry, there is no mistake. You have to ask the village for your household registration, but I don't have it. Hehehehe!"

Huang Bing laughed a few times before he couldn't stop laughing, because no one praised him.He looked at Li Guolou, and felt that Li Guolou was different from other officials, as he looked rich and powerful.How could such a person come here to inspect the crime scene?Huang Bing couldn't figure out what to investigate if there was a case with no end.
