late Qing Dynasty arrest

A village is only three or four miles away, and Li Guolou's activities in the afternoon went very smoothly.After inspecting every building in the west, Li Guolou walked towards Huang Tian's house.A farmer carrying a load of dung walked in front of him, and without giving way, he came straight to Li Guolou.Li Guolou was so frightened that he jumped directly into the field, clutching his nose and running away.

What a weird person, he is not afraid of official messengers, he is not polite, and he does not let him pass by the trail first.Li Guolou looked at the back of the farmer from a distance, and also recorded the farmer in the column of suspects, and saw that the farmer's name was already on the paper, hey!Is that the first suspect?Li Guolou smiled wryly, and crossed out the farmer's name.

When Li Guolou entered Huang Tian's house, Erzi Jin was already sitting inside drinking tea. Li Guolou rolled his eyes and said, "Catcher Jin, why didn't you wait for me at Huangcunzheng's house."

Jin Erzi chuckled dryly, and said, "Captain Li, stop laughing at me, I dare not talk to myself, I have to ask the officer for instructions on everything."

Li Guolou secretly slandered that he didn't expose Jin Erzi's inconsistency, and he still pretended not to know about this kind of messy thing, and if something happened, he could push it clean.

Li Guolou sat down and asked Huang Tianshi to go back to the room. The two of them sat in the living room and talked for a while.There are melon seeds, peanuts and candies on the table. Jin Erzi has already eaten a lot of melon shells and threw them all on the ground. This is how people eat in the countryside. Just clean them up with a broom and dustpan later, unlike the people in the city. Throw the husks in the trash.

Li Guolou drank three cups of tea in a row before he regained his strength and sighed: "Today is the day I talk the most, and my voice is almost hoarse."

Jin Erzi said in a low voice: "Deputy Li, the people here are all bastards. They don't know what to ask. I ran away and didn't ask anything."

Li Guolou glanced at Jin Erzi, and said, "That's because you didn't ask the right person. Don't underestimate children. I've heard a lot of things, and I don't know how many people will be killed if I tell them."

Jin Erzi couldn't believe it, and said: "Ah! Lieutenant Li, don't be bored. It's just that thief Zhang Gazi who can know the secrets of Huangcun. I don't believe it. You're just making up nonsense."

Li Guolou peeled off a piece of candy, and said casually: "Jin Butou, if you don't believe that you will be defeated, I already have a [-]% chance of winning in my heart. It is because there is a thief Zhang Gazi here. I believe that there are hidden dragons and crouching tigers here. This time It's worth coming here."

Li Guolou couldn't bear it any longer, and teased Jin Erzi for a while, as for Jin Erzi, did he understand?Li Guolou believes that as long as he doesn't catch the current situation, Jin Erzi will not admit that he had an affair with Huang Yueshi even if he is killed.Years in contact with criminals, Jin Erzi has become an unrepentant master of the Yellow River. He knows that rumors and criminal evidence are two different things, and the affairs between the two cannot be counted without circumstantial evidence.

Jin Erzi said with a playful smile, "Deputy Li, then reveal the progress of the case, so that I can brag about it at night."

Li Guolou said: "It's okay to say a little bit, but I won't drink tonight. If the people in Huangcun are too enthusiastic, you can drink all the wine."

Jin Erzi slapped his chest, and said seriously: "If you say something like a man, hurry up, I will block everything."

Li Guolou took out the notebook in his bag and said, "Okay, I'll say it, but the content is varied, you have to understand it yourself, don't ask questions if you don't understand, I can't explain."

Jin Erzi nodded frequently and said: "I know that this is Captain Li's test of my thinking ability. I will use my brain to think about it. If I don't sleep at night, I will also think about the case. There are some evil ways in Huangcun, and I can see it."

Looking at Jin Erzi's treacherous and evil smile, Li Guolou knew that Jin Erzi would reveal the secret between him and Huang Yueshi one day.This is the romantic affairs of the elders, life must be full of joy, Jin Erzi's life is written in Huangcun, how can he not bear to say it.

Li Guolou looked at the notes and reported the journal, which made Jin Erzi feel confused. The content was varied, but he still lowered his head and thought, there were many suspicious things.Where should we look for a breakthrough?

In the living room there was only Li Guolou's voice, and the Huang Tian family was hiding behind the door and eavesdropping. How could it have nothing to do with her daughter's disappearance? What were the two headhunters talking about?Huang Tian couldn't figure it out.

Li Guo talked upstairs for an hour, closed the notebook and put it in the leather bag, and then said: "Jin Butou, this is your assessment, tell me your thoughts tomorrow morning, how to solve this clueless case? "

Jin Erzi hadn't been in the mood to eat melon seeds for a long time. With a distressed smile, he said, "Deputy Li, there are so many suspects coming here for interrogation one by one. We have to stay for a few days before going back?"

Li Guolou looked at the open door that entered the inner room, leaned close to Jin Erzi's ear and whispered: "Tomorrow night I will drink the wine of my son and daughter, no matter whether the case is solved or not No, we'll go back tomorrow afternoon, don't let Huang Tian know now, I won't take out that card ticket. Do you understand?"

Jin Erzi nodded and sighed: "Mr. Li, you are too soft-hearted. Others can make a small fortune with this thing, but you make it invalid. I don't know what to say to you."

Li Guolou rolled his eyes and said: "You are saying behind your back that I am not suitable to be a policeman, are you? Doing things is not in compliance with the rules. I do what I like, and you can take care of it. Mr. Bao can't do without me, Brother Yao also needs me, and you also need me Let me make a point. If you don’t understand, just keep making sticks.”

Jin Erzi curled his lips and said with a sneer, "How could I not understand? You are a level above us, and your idea is to make a lot of money, and spending a small amount of money is a matter of buying people's hearts. Who knows this kind of trick."

Li Guolou was extremely dissatisfied, and said, "Jin Erzi, that's what you said. After that, I will let you stand out, and I will give you all the benefits. Come and give me a try."

Jin Erzi let out a long sigh and said, "Unfortunately, my surname is not Li. There is no one above, and there is no money at home. Lieutenant Li, how did you ask me to come here?"

After finishing their official business, the two started chatting, seeing that the time was almost up, they bid farewell to Mrs. Huang, saying that when they came back to handle the case tomorrow, they would definitely give Mrs. Huang an explanation.

Li Guolou stood at the door and said, "Mr. Huang Tian, ​​I am not lying to you. I will give you an explanation tomorrow."

Huang Tian nodded and said: "I believe that you are good people, the money of the landlord Laocai can't buy you, you are all righteous people with conscience."

Li Guolou and Jin Erzi glanced at each other, and Li Guolou hurriedly said, "Don't worry, Mrs. Huang Tian, ​​we are all people who don't take bribes, and do things with conscience. Just prepare some melon seeds and eggs, and we won't eat anything else." Yes." After telling the lie, Li Guolou couldn't help bowing his head, last night the accused landlord Laocai Huang Kao took good food and drink at home, and he didn't eat less.

Li Guolou sighed inwardly, deep down he still likes to make friends with rich people and eat rich people's banquets, he doesn't feel burdened, and the matter is over with a swipe of his mouth.But after eating the poor man's three eggs, he wanted to go back, and even more wanted to take care of the lonely Huang Tian family and leave a way for her to survive.If you are procrastinating, how can you stay in the Yamen that eats human blood in the future?If he does this again, his subordinates will look down on him. It's time for him to kill people for fame, so it's good for these subordinates to experience his martial arts.Another thought was wrong!Most likely it was a black gun, which had nothing to do with his martial arts.

On the way, Li Guolou was thinking wildly about things that had nothing to do with the case, but Jin Erzi beside him began to worship the officer, and Li Guolou was the master of great things.He can feed the big family, and he can also deceive people. There are few people who don't believe the lies he tells. He already believes that Li Guolou will really give the Huangtian family an explanation tomorrow.

Li Guolou went directly to the village office, and said to Jin Erzi, "Catcher Jin, if Huang Kao is good enough to invite you to dinner, you can stay there as you please. I will live alone in the village office and clean it up. It’s also good to organize my thoughts. Let the long-term worker at Huangcunzheng’s house bring my luggage, and I won’t go there.”

Jin Erzi smiled wryly and said: "Deputy Li, if you do this, people will be unhappy, and look down on him a bit. How can I be a man?"

Li Guolou sneered, and said, "Jin Erzi, if you tell me to go, I really don't want to waste my time on banquets and say sorry to Huang Cunzheng, and I will definitely go to his house to drink and spank from now on."

Jin Erzi had no choice but to go to Huang Kaohao's house alone, while Li Guolou went to the village office in the east.

Not long after the two separated, Li Guolou was chased by Huang Bing before he reached the village office. After a lot of pulling, Li Guolou had only one way, and that was to drink at Huang Kaohao's house again.All the respectable people from Huang Village came tonight. If Li Guolou didn't give face to the officials and gentry of Huang Village, he would be kicked out tomorrow. Huang Village wouldn't welcome such dishonest officials.

Li Guolou could only settle for the next best thing, and said, "Huang Baozheng, let's talk about it first, I don't want to drink this wine."

Huang Bing said angrily: "We already know your drinking capacity, and you have to drink three glasses, so you can do whatever you want next, how can I treat you like that."

Li Guolou lowered his head, laughed out loud, and said, "Huang Baozheng, didn't you say you want to wash your shoes? Why did you put my military boots on?"

Huang Bing raised his eyebrows, and said cheerfully, "It's enough to wash the outside. The size is just right, and Brother Huang is so jealous. Come on, Mr. Li, you have to give us two more pairs of military boots, otherwise it won't be fair."

Li Guolou laughed, and said: "Well, when you come to the city, I will give you two more pairs of military boots. These are the shoes worn by British soldiers. They are very durable. There is only one foreign company in the capital that sells them. They are very expensive. .”

When Huang Bing heard this, he hurriedly said: "Oh! I know, I won't wear it for any important event in the future, and I can't wear it even when the officer comes. If any officer takes a fancy to it, wouldn't I be asked to take off my shoes?"

Li Guolou thinks that Huang Bing can do a good job as the Baozheng of a village. He can talk to strangers, and he is shameless and easy-going to make friends.Only when this kind of person comes out to connect with each other can Huangcun get the care of the superiors. The "bad guys" have a foothold on the stage, and the Qing Empire cannot lack such capable people.

When the two arrived in front of Huang Kaohao's mansion, Li Guolou said, "Huang Baozheng, I'm going back to the city tomorrow afternoon, so don't give me any souvenirs. I just want four ducks, and they'll be put in cages. I won't give you any money." gone."

Huang Bing snorted coldly: "It's a good idea, a duck is one tael of silver, this is the rule of Huang Village."

The two laughed and walked into the compound jokingly.
