"head."

"Four officers and seven helpers from Capt. Guo's team died. There were blood letters left by the Iron Lord at the scene. Judging from the corpses, it was indeed this man's handiwork."

Along the way, police officers successively summarized the situation to Liu Rusong.

The results are appalling——

one night!

Just one night!

Not only did the head catcher Guo Sheng die at home, but four of his subordinates also lost their lives, followed by seven more servants.

A total of twelve people!

To be exaggerated, it is not an exaggeration to say that "last night there was embroidery and blood flowed like a river".

Too arrogant!

Too cruel!

"This person--"

After Liu Rusong heard the summary, his eyelids could not help but tremble with fear.

Arrive at Guo's house.

"ah!"

"My son!"

"My poor son!"

In the distance, you can hear the crying and howling coming from the Guo family.

Outside the house, many people were watching, talking in twos and threes, mostly curious and gloating.

Guo family.

Guo Sheng.

This is not a good family or a good person.

Guo Sheng has been a head catcher in Luoxiu County for fourteen years. His qualifications are much higher than those of Liu Rusong and others, and he comes from a "family of catchers". From his grandfather to his second uncle and then to him, he has been a catcher for three generations.

The head has already taken root. Coupled with Guo Sheng's clever methods, conscience, and low bottom line, he has made a lot of money in all aspects in the past fourteen years, making Liu Rusong and others jealous.

For example, the second-level house in front of us is one of them, worth no less than two thousand taels.

But it is said that this is only one of Guo Sheng's properties. The value of the remaining properties, land deeds, and cash is inestimable, but it will not be less.

It has its own force.

There is money at home.

Further up, his second uncle is still an official. Although he was only promoted from a head catcher to a ninth-level patrol officer, he is still at a higher level and has a wide range of friends.

Second uncle is here.

Under Guo Sheng, he also has a wide network of contacts, especially with the officials in the Yamen, and he can talk to many wealthy businessmen in the city, so he has a well-connected network.

In this way, even though the methods are a little outrageous, power and money will pave the way, and everything will be smooth sailing and life will be happy.

Until today——

…

"My son~ah~~, how can you live without your mother~hey~~!"

Lu Damiao followed Liu Rusong into Guo's house, and the crying and howling in the courtyard became even more harsh.

A closer look revealed that Guo Sheng's old mother was lying next to the two charred corpses and howling. Her cry was shrill and shrill, with the ending sound changing nine times and eighteen times, just like she was crying in mourning.

She had lost her father-in-law, mother-in-law, and husband in her early years, and now she is crying for her son. It is a bad fate to send a white-haired person to a black-haired person.

When I looked up again, I saw that half of the huge main house had collapsed, everything inside and outside was charred, and all the doors and windows were destroyed.

"My mother!"

"Is this on fire?"

The few officers accompanying him looked inside and outside, looked at each other, and looked at each other in confusion.

"This is--"

Tang Zhicai grabbed a handful of powder from the ruins, put it in his hand and shook it, with surprise flashing in his eyes: "This is flour?!"

He was a little unsure.

"flour?"

"Where did you get the flour in the main house?"

Others were stunned when they heard it, and looked at it one after another, and found that it was indeed a handful of flour that had not been completely burned.

Why is there flour?

Lu Damiao was a newcomer, and he followed behind without saying a word, just messing around.

This is the policy Cao Ren taught him before entering the Yamen——

Talk less, do less, listen more and watch more.

If evildoers are responsible for this, then they should work really hard.

If you want to punish rape and eliminate evil, just work hard.

Although the name of the 'Iron God Marquis' is terrifying and he has committed many serious crimes, he has always been a chivalrous and righteous man with good reason.

For example this time.

Guo Sheng’s evil deeds are too numerous to write down.

It's just because he has intricate connections in all aspects and officials protect each other that nothing happens.

And this time, together with Guo Sheng, Zhang Kui and other twelve people who died in one night, Lu Damiao had heard in just ten days after entering the county government that they were not good people. They all had scandals and caused a lot of harm.

.

In this kind of world, killing such people is of course very satisfying.

He doesn't want to be troublesome.

Wouldn't it be embarrassing if someone really found out the identity and origin of the 'Tiedan Shenhou'?

There were several officers present who seemed to have the same idea as Lu Damiao, or who simply didn't want to do things or use their brains, so they were also fooling around.

So-so.

Complete the site inspection.

After Liu Rusong heard the report, he went to the Guo family's nursing home. The servants asked: "When did the incident happen last night? What happened at that time, please tell me in detail?"

A maid who was in a state of embarrassment, with tears streaming down her face, and injuries on her body was Guo Sheng's room maid. She replied tremblingly: "It was around three o'clock in the morning. I slept in the side room last night. Not long after I fell asleep, I heard the master in the room.

There was a loud noise, so I got up quickly and wanted to wait on him, but then I heard a loud bang, the doors and windows were blown off, and the house was on fire."

Thinking back to last night, this maid was still in shock.

Too dangerous!

If she had run slower, if she had not been menstruating in the past few days and could not serve the master, not only the master and his wife would have died that night, but her life would also have been in danger.

"Did you hear anything unusual before the accident?"

Liu Rusong frowned and continued to ask.

"without."

"I don't sleep well, and I can wake up if there is a little movement. If there was a big movement before, I wouldn't be able to hear it."

The maid shook her head.

This makes sense too.

She is the maid of the first wife. She not only has to sleep with the master, but also wait for the master and his wife to wake up at night. Of course, she does not dare to sleep too soundly.

But this way——

"How did the thief get into the yard, and how did he get into the house?"

Liu Rusong is an old man.

He asked more than a dozen servants of the Guo family, the two nursing homes, and Guo Sheng's three sons, all of them, and found nothing unusual.

Even last night before the incident, I didn't even hear a dog barking.

What’s even weirder is——

"After the accident, we rushed to check before we even had time to put on our clothes. We saw someone rushing out wrapped in a quilt in the light of the fire. As soon as the black shadow flashed, he jumped over the wall and ran away. Lao Chen and I chased down two alleys but saw no one.

I was worried about the people in the courtyard, so I didn’t dare to chase him anymore and retreated.”

"The thief runs very fast."
