Chapter 34 Murder Case ([-])

After returning to the county government torture room, after a series of procedures, Jiang Yuan finally changed into the arresting uniform.

At this time, there are already an endless stream of people from outside the county government office seeking to see and give gifts.

A yamen servant kept running back and forth, reporting to Jiang Yuan in the execution room:

"The Dahe Gang learned that Jiang Tutou doesn't have any real estate, so they sent him a house."

"Jewelers Association, set up a banquet at the Suyu Restaurant in the city, and look forward to Jiang Tutou's honorable visit."

"Zuihualou, recently bought a new batch of Qingshou, please Jiang Butou to go to train and guide in his spare time, and at the same time, Zuihualou also sent a hundred taels of gold as a training fee."

"The Chen family, I heard that Jiang Tuotou is not yet married. It just so happens that there is a young girl who is as beautiful as a flower, gentle and virtuous. She is waiting in her boudoir. I look forward to marrying Jiang Tuotou."

At this moment, Jiang Yuan was sitting on a rattan chair in the torture chamber, and all the arresting officers who came to see him surrounded Jiang Yuan, flattering him all the time.

Hong Kun stood blankly by the side, watching that his seat was taken by someone else, and the flattery he used to flatter is now kissing someone else, and all these changes took place in just two days. Such a gap made him so far hard to accept.

A police officer asked Jiang Yuan:

"Master Headhunter, those who give gifts and treat them to dinner...how should we deal with it?"

Jiang Yuan really didn't have much research on the knowledge of receiving gifts, he thought for a while and asked:

"What happened to the headhunters in the past?"

"This..." The arrester glanced at Hong Kun.

Jiang Yuan then waved at Hong Kun:

"Hong Kun, you go out and collect all the gift slips, I'll have a look at them."

Hong Kun was stunned for a moment before realizing his current identity. He hastily replied:

"Yes"

After speaking, Hong Kun left the small courtyard of the punishment room.

After Hong Kun left, Jiang Yuan said to the policeman:

"Tell me the truth."

The policeman then said:
"The former head catcher, Yan Butou, is more upright and conservative, but he doesn't accept any gifts. But the previous head catcher Hong, he doesn't reject anyone who comes, and accepts everything."

Jiang Yuan asked again:
"Then what do you think is the best way?"

The catcher hastily bowed and answered:

"Subordinates don't dare to speak nonsense. But...in fact, no matter what kind of situation, it is not very good for the development of our arrest work."

"how do I say this?"

"If the head catcher does not accept the gift, then the people in the city will inevitably think that the head catcher is about to go to war, and there will inevitably be panic and rumors, and they will fear and reject us. If the head catcher does not refuse, then the number of people will be short , we subordinates will always be used to suppress us, my lord, when we act in the future."

Jiang Yuan smiled and said:

"Kailai's accepting or not accepting is not flattering at both ends. Okay, I will accept some and reject some. Our police often deal with those important people?"

"The head catcher is wise!" said the catcher quickly, "If you say that the one with the most dealings here is naturally the Dahe Gang. There are many gangs in Yangcheng, but in fact the rest of the gangs have to rely on the Dahe Gang to survive. This is an obvious thing , is managed by our yamen; and the affairs behind the scenes are managed by the Dahe Gang."

After Jiang Yuan listened, he glanced at the policeman and thought:
"You look familiar. I seem to have hit you before?"

The policeman hastily replied:

"The little one is named Xiao Liu, and everyone calls me Liuzi on weekdays. The head catcher just entered the business yesterday, and it was the little one who came to try your skills as a head catcher. I got punched by the head catcher yesterday, and the little one will benefit for life. Thank you for the catcher!" Master Chief gives me a blow!"

Jiang Yuan remembered that there was such a thing.Yesterday he knocked Liu Zi unconscious with one punch, and it looked like he was seriously injured, but in fact, because Jiang Yuan was merciful, there was no serious injury.Especially for martial artists whose bodies are beyond ordinary people, they can get out of bed and move around after two days of cultivation.

Now this policeman named Xiao Liu didn't mind telling the anecdote about his predecessor's appointment as the chief arrester, and his intention to seek refuge was particularly obvious.

Jiang Yuan didn't mind either, he said to Xiao Liu:
"Liu Zi, right? I remember that you seem to be in the body training state, and you will follow me from now on."

Xiao Liu was overjoyed, clasped his fists and said:
"Thank you for your cultivation!"

To be able to follow a strong man in the four extremes, such an opportunity is the dream of every body-refining warrior.

At this time, Hong Kun also brought in the gift list.

Jiang Yuan picked out the gift list of the Dahe Gang, and it turned out to be a set of houses.

This is a big deal. Buying a house in Yangcheng is no less difficult than buying a house in a big city in Jiang Yuan's previous life.

In today's world, there are various unknown dangers a little far away from the place where the human race gathers.Therefore, wherever people gather, especially in relatively safe cities, housing prices are surprisingly expensive.

Jiang Yuan picked out a few more gift slips and accepted them, and the rest were sent back.

As for eating and entertaining, Jiang Yuan refused all of them.Others have time to invite, but he may not have time to go.

After being busy for a while, Jiang Yuan was about to go to the city to inspect, but suddenly a policeman rushed in from outside the county government office.

This arrester is none other than Wang Li.

As soon as Wang Li entered the execution room, he said to Hong Kun:

"Captain Hong, something serious has happened!"

Hong Kun reprimanded Wang Li in embarrassment:

"You don't have eyes, boy? Now the head catcher is Jiang catcher, don't yell!"

"Ah?" Wang Li was stunned, and after seeing Jiang Yuan's uniform, he was even more stunned.

He is a policeman in the suburbs, and the news from the city is often the last to reach their ears, besides, Jiang Yuan was the chief policeman in the suburbs before.

Jiang Yuan asked in a deep voice:
"What happened? You speak slowly!"

Wang Li hastily replied:

"Brother Yuan, no, no! Jiang catcher! A homicide has occurred in Xishan Village on the outskirts of the city!"

Hong Kun said dissatisfied:
"I'm talking about Wang Li! Don't you see that today is the happy day for Jiang Butou's new appointment? A trivial matter like the death of one or two people can be used to sweep Jiang Butou's interest? Do you still understand the rules? Just go down and do it yourself!"

But Wang Li's eyes were full of panic:

"It's not just one or two lives, it's the massacre of the village! Seventeen members of four families, old and young, all died!"

After Wang Li said this, all the arresters present were shocked.

Although there will always be a few more corpses in Xuanhe every month, those are all done secretly by the gang.

It was the first time in the past few years that such a blatant and serious case was committed.

Jiang Yuan frowned. He encountered this kind of thing on the first day he took office. He asked:

"Are there any clues found at the scene?"

Wang Li replied:
"The murderer is preliminarily judged to be one person, but we suspect that it is not man-made, but a ghost!"

The policemen all took a breath, if it was really a ghost, then the danger would be hard to guess.

Hong Kun blinked, and said to Jiang Yuan:

"Captain Jiang, why don't we notify the night guards to deal with it?"

Jiang Yuan said coldly:
"Whether it is a ghost or a ghost, or someone is using the name of a ghost to harm people, we have to investigate! From now on, all leaders and leaders are responsible for their own duties and are not allowed to do anything! Hong Kun, Liu Zi, Wang Li, you follow me!" Let’s go to the scene to check it out!”

Having said that, Jiang Yuan thought of something again, and said to Wang Li:
"Wang Li, now you are the superintendent of the suburban police, immediately go and call the suburban police to seal the scene!"

"Subordinates obey!"

After Wang Li took the order, he left in a hurry.

Jiang Yuan asked Hong Kun and Xiao Liu about some related matters, and then the three of them took three fast horses and galloped towards the suburbs.

As for the murder case, although the county magistrate was notified, it was not handled directly by the county magistrate.

The government in this world has a very clear division of labor.The county lieutenant is in charge of security and military affairs, so he only needs to report to the county lieutenant.

And arresting the head is equivalent to the spokesperson of the county lieutenant in the public security of Yangcheng, so the arresting head can handle all homicide cases with full authority.

It's not that the county lieutenant doesn't care about things, but that in this world, human life is so despicable. As long as too many people are not killed at once, the county lieutenant doesn't bother to ask.

Xishan Village is a small mountain village at the foot of the mountain on the outskirts of the city.

Among the several villages around Yangcheng, this can be regarded as a relatively poor village with a small population.

The village was built in the middle of a farmland, and the three of Jiang Yuan followed a path across the lush green seedlings in the field and headed straight for the village.

Although Xishan Village is a village, it is actually just a settlement made up of a few private houses.

Wang Li was already waiting at the entrance of the village with the policeman, and when he saw Jiang Yuan and others riding over on horseback, he hurriedly saluted:

"Captain Jiang!"

Jiang Yuan got off his horse, handed the reins to the policeman who was staying at the entrance of the village, and then walked towards the village with Wang Li, Xiao Liu and Hong Kun.

As soon as entering the village entrance, a strong and pungent smell of blood hits the face.

Jiang Yuan glanced at the small path in the village, the viscous and dry blood was spreading in the mud, which was shocking.

Wang Li kept reporting the situation along the way:

"The first person who discovered the situation was a shopkeeper who entered the village this morning. When he entered the village, he smelled blood and saw blood. I just went to report to the official. We have already cross-examined the salesman, and there should be no problem."

While speaking, Wang Li opened a door.

When everyone stepped into the room, they saw that the walls and furniture in the room were covered with reddish-brown strips of minced meat, and there was a pile of shapeless meat on the ground. If it wasn't for the clothes on it, it couldn't be seen that it was a corpse.

Just listen to Wang Li continue to say:

"The time of death was around Yin time last night. After a violent struggle in the house, the corpses were mutilated, dismembered and devoured. Almost only a part of each corpse was left. After searching for a long time, we roughly confirmed that the people in the village were basically killed."

"Wow!" Hong Kun couldn't help but leaned over and vomited.

He had been a police officer for a long time, and he hadn't visited the crime scene in person for a long time, so he couldn't bear to see this scene.

Jiang Yuan waved to Xiao Liu who was beside him, and Xiao Liu immediately helped Hong Kun out of the house.

Wang Li pointed to the ground and said:

"Jiang Butou, please look, the footprints here are obviously left by the murderer. Judging from the size of the footprints, the murderer has a strong body and should be about seven feet tall. However, the footprints are very deep, but it should indicate that the murderer carried a lot of weight. The one who commits the crime with a heavy load is likely to be a warrior. And most importantly, the subordinates don't know whether to speak properly."

Jiang Yuan said:

"Say!"

So Wang Li said:

"Judging from the footprints, the murderer was wearing leather boots, and the pattern of these boots is very unique. There is only one kind of person in Yangcheng who wears this kind of boots, and that is the night guard. The subordinates are not lying. We have searched carefully. A snagged strip of cloth was also found on a broken wooden table, which was confirmed to be from the night watchman's uniform."

"I see." Jiang Yuan said.

He thought of the night guard who had his abdomen torn apart by the light group and got into it last night, and then escaped strangely.
