Chapter 2869

Seeing that the fighting in the town had slowly subsided, Suksaha slowly walked into the town on horseback, guarded by his own soldiers.

When they got closer, everyone saw clearly that this so-called town was actually made up of many tents and shacks, and each courtyard was just surrounded by fences as high as a person. The houses were really made of bricks and stones.

, there seemed to be only a few in the whole town, and judging from the appearance of the houses, it was obvious that they were not newly built, but were mostly properties left by the Han people who lived here before.

The officer commanding the operation took Suksaha and his party to one of the houses. Being able to live in such a brick house, which is rare in the local area, it goes without saying that the head of the household must be this Niulu, a well-known figure.

There were people kneeling on the ground in the yard. Apart from a few crying women and children, the most eye-catching thing was a man with his hands tied behind his back. This man was naked and had a black-feathered arrow stuck in his shoulder.

, blood was still flowing down the arrow shaft, and it seemed that he had been injured in the previous fight. The man watched Suk Saha walk in, his body was shaking, and he was obviously very scared.

The officer whispered a few words beside Suk Saha. Suk Saha nodded and introduced the situation to Zhu Ziwu and others in unskilled Chinese.

The man in the arrow is said to be the leader here, his name is A Lin. His official official position is "Niulu Zhangjing". In the Manchu Qing Dynasty, he was a real "court official", responsible for the local household registration, land, residence, military registration, etc.

Litigation, etc.

Although Alin argued that his resistance was just a misunderstanding that an enemy was attacking, the stolen goods subsequently recovered from his home by the Qing army proved that this person's statement was not credible.

The soldiers of the Qing army found two boxes of wine from under his bed and presented them to Suk Saha and others. After seeing it, several Haihan officers nodded repeatedly, thinking that they must have caught the real owner this time.

This kind of "Sanya Special Brew" filled in glass bottles is originally produced in Hainan Island. Due to the inconvenience of long-distance transportation and high freight costs, only four or five batches of goods are shipped to Liaodong every year, adding up to only three to four thousand bottles.

Most of them are digested internally. The number of resold to the Manchu and Qing Dynasties is only about a thousand bottles a year. The price in the Manchu and Qing market is more than ten times higher than that of the place of origin. It can be said that it is a genuine luxury product.

.

It is said that things are rare and valuable, so it is naturally difficult for ordinary people to have access to this stuff. Those who have the strength and channels to buy this kind of wine are mostly the rich and powerful in the Qing Dynasty. And Alin is just a small Niu Luzhang

Jing, the price of these two boxes of wine is more than his normal salary for a year. It is obviously unreasonable to show up at his home.

Of course, the most conclusive evidence is the conspicuous "Xianghongji" seal on the box. After snatching the thing back, this guy didn't even think about removing the mark on it. He just left it intact at home, which just provided the investigators with information.

irrefutable evidence.

Next, other stolen goods were found from Alin's house, including salt, tea, cigarettes, sugar... almost everything. Apparently he planned to keep some for his own use.

At this point in the investigation, Suksaha didn't waste any time and immediately asked Alin about the hiding places of other goods and the people involved in the robbery.

Seeing that the matter was exposed, Alin wanted to bargain with Suksaha for a chance of survival. However, Suksaha was merciless and immediately ordered one of his family members to be dragged out, and without any explanation, he executed him in the yard and beheaded him.

The courtyard was filled with cries and screams.

The process was so fast that the onlookers Haihan officers were defenseless, and Zhu Ziwu was even more shocked. It was not like he had never seen dead people before, but this was the first time he saw beheading and execution at such a close distance.

, the visual impact and the astounding smell of blood made him almost want to vomit, but he finally managed to endure it.

Suk Saha, who witnessed the whole process, remained expressionless, which shows that he has long been accustomed to such scenes and has a cold-heartedness that is difficult for ordinary people to match. It is no wonder that Shunzhi sent him to handle the case.

Suksaha just told Arin coldly that if he did not confess truthfully, his family members would be killed one by one in front of him.

Seeing that Alin was still hesitating, Suksaha waved his hand, and his soldiers immediately dragged out another child from Alin's family. This time, Alin did not dare to wait and see, and immediately shouted to express his willingness to cooperate.

Suk Sahadang asked Alin to name the participants one by one first, and if one person was missing, one of his family members would be killed. Alin had collapsed at this time and did not dare to resist at all. Every time he mentioned a name, someone would take his name.

He was ordered to go away and capture him from other places in the town.

This town has been surrounded by the people of Suksaha. Even a bird cannot fly out. As long as the people Alin confessed are still in the town, they will not be able to escape. But these people must be eliminated

Once captured, it was still quite time-consuming, and it was not until noon that we were able to capture all the people A Lin confessed.

More than two hundred people who were directly involved in the robbery had their hands tied behind their backs and were kneeling on the side of the road outside the town. These people accounted for more than half of the local men, ranging from old men with gray beards to those in their fifteenth or sixteenth year.

The young man, who was 6 years old, seemed to have come out in full force at that time, using all the fighting power of this awesome man.

During the battle with the caravan guards, more than 20 of the people Alin led were killed. Suksaha did not even spare these dead people, ordered their families to lead the way, and dug up all the bones of these people.

Come out and verify the injuries on his body to ensure that no one faked his death and escaped.

At the same time, the Qing army's search of the entire town finally came to an end. According to the confessions of these arrested persons, the Qing army found most of the robbed goods that they had not yet had time to process. Except for a few that were kept by A Lin and other key personnel for their own use.

, most of the goods were hidden in an abandoned brick kiln outside the town. According to the final statistics, about 80% of the robbed goods were recovered.

Haihan originally thought that the robbers would sell the goods on the underground black market and wanted to find investigation clues in this regard. Alin confessed that he actually had such an idea, but the limelight after the incident was too tight, and he also knew that the officials of the two countries would definitely

I was investigating the case, so I hid the goods first and planned to wait until the limelight passed before finding a way to sell the goods.

At this point in the investigation, the only remaining questions are why Alin organized this operation, where did the information come from, and whether there was someone else behind it. Especially the last point is the issue that investigators from both countries are most concerned about.

Suksaha camped in the town that day, conducted overnight interrogations on all the suspects, cross-checked their confessions, and allowed Haihan officers to observe the interrogation process.

This night's interrogation was no joke. More than a dozen key people led by Alin were tortured all night, and two of them were killed on the spot. If it weren't for Suk Sahat's instructions, Alin

I probably won't survive the night.
