Logically speaking, since the case had just been taken over and the situation was so urgent, he should stay in the Yamen and continue to take command.
However, he didn't sleep all night last night. At this moment, he felt exhausted both physically and mentally and in urgent need of a good rest.
Therefore, he planned to go home and take a nap at noon, then return to the Yamen in the afternoon to continue.
Anyway, the Yamen is very close to home, and he has already assigned the tasks properly. Even if he stays at the Yamen, he is just waiting for news to come back, so he might as well recharge his batteries first.
This time, Shen Yu did not follow him, but stayed in the Yamen on standby.
Xu Zhen told her that if there was any major situation, she should come over quickly and notify him.
On the way, I saw someone selling cut cakes on the street, so Xu Zhen bought two pieces.
Because it was so close to home, Youmeng usually prepared lunch for Xu Zhen. If Xu Zhen didn't come back, he would leave it until the evening.
At the critical moment, Xu Zhen thought of a sentence in "The Way of Demons":
"A gentleman hides his weapons in his body and waits for the time to move. When he is humiliated by others, he does not remain calm...Those who plan for great things hide them in their hearts and act on them..."
Although Song Zhili now relies on himself, unfortunately, he is not the biggest one in Yanping County. He may be able to protect himself temporarily, but he cannot support himself.
Searching his mind, Xu Zhen quickly recognized that this person was Cui Xiaotian's subordinate, a small boss of Wansheng Casino who specialized in debt collection. People called him Erxin.
Xu Zhen narrowed his eyes and became more and more excited.
No, Wei Yulang is a cunning man. He has not solved his cuckold case yet, so he will probably not offend Cui Xiaotian for his own sake.
Secondly, Xu Zhen also saw an opportunity due to the abnormal behavior of the head catcher Cheng Xiao.
However, as soon as he got home, he was shocked!
not good!
The ghost-faced killer thirteen years ago had already aroused his strong curiosity. Even if Song Zhili didn't look for him, he wouldn't really stand by and watch.
But there were five men dressed as gangsters standing in the yard, surrounding Youmeng. One of them, a thin man with a goatee, was competing with Youmeng for a jade pendant!
Although Youmeng was young, he held on to the jade pendant tightly, and the skinny man couldn't take it away even after trying for a long time.
"Huh? Damn it..." The thin man looked at his empty hands and cursed angrily, "Not to mention a piece of broken jade pendant. Even a little beauty like you will have to buy it for us sooner or later to pay off our debt..."
"Master... Wuwu..." Youmeng hurriedly hid behind Xu Zhen and cried, "I have already given them the money, and they still want to snatch my jade pendant... Wuwu..."
"Fuck you!"
At this moment, Xu Zhen's face was gloomy, his eyes were fierce, and he was already murderous!
"Xu Zhen, are you crazy? Dare you touch me?" The thin man rolled up his sleeves, came to Xu Zhen and shouted, "Why... don't you want to live anymore?"
Depend on!
Xu Zhen quickly stepped forward and rushed into the yard as fast as he could.
The thin man screamed in pain and hurriedly got up from the ground. When he saw that the person who knocked him down was Xu Zhen, a fierce look appeared on his face.
Maybe he just received a severe beating, but what if he had a dream?
Or...after beating the person, seek protection from Wei Yulang?
However, after careful analysis and weighing the pros and cons, Xu Zhen still agreed to him. The main reason for this was that Xu Zhen saw an opportunity!
First of all, when I took over this case, I was ordered to do so in a critical situation.
After saying that, he rushed towards Youmeng roughly!
Besides...
Yes, regarding this case, he could have stayed out of it, watched with a cold eye, and watched how Song Zhili ended up.
Tsk…
If he can solve this case, he may be able to take Cheng Xiao's place and establish his authority in the arresting house.
Because after his evaluation, he must not take action now!
He is a small detective to begin with, so it is normal that he cannot solve such a big case. Apart from Song Zhili, no one should blame himself.
Just when he was about to meet You Meng, Xu Zhen rushed forward. He first grabbed the thin man's collar, pressed his arms with both hands, and then threw the thin man away!
Gululu... The thin man rolled on the ground and his back hit the water tank.
"It's okay, it's okay..." Xu Zhen held Youmeng behind his back with one hand, and put the other hand into his pocket, preparing to pull out the dagger hidden inside.
When Xu Zhen quickly weighed the pros and cons and assessed the current situation, he couldn't help but smacked his lips.
As the saying goes, it is essential to be on guard against others. When Xu Zhen realized that the environment was dangerous, he would hide several daggers on his body every day.
The worst thing is, just sell the house and leave this place of trouble.
Just as Xu Zhen was thinking, he had already returned to his door.
The next second, a woman's exclamation came from the yard, it was her little daughter-in-law who had a dream.
Furthermore, the young master and young lady of the Song family were indeed innocent, and Xu Zhen naturally did not want to see the two children die innocently.
In the end, the main reason why Xu Zhen took this case was actually the case itself!
At the same time, the other gangsters all raised their sticks and surrounded Xu Zhen.
The reason for thinking this way is not that Xu Zhen has great ideals. He knows that it is impossible to change the entire world with the power of one person.
After all, Song Zhili once wanted his own life!
As long as you become the head catcher, you will have the opportunity to change the bad habits of the catchers and restrain them from doing evil things.
It didn't seem to be the best option. It was impossible for me to hide in the Yamen for the rest of my life.
However, he also knows that if he does not strive for the top, then even survival will become an ideal.
Xu Zhen likes challenges. The more difficult the case, the more excited he becomes.
Obviously, the door was broken open violently!
"ah……"
Of course, Xu Zhen considers everything comprehensively and does not just think about good things.
And Song Zhili will definitely be messed up by the monk. What can he do even if he blames himself?
He had already considered that even if he failed to complete the task after thirteen days, he would not necessarily suffer any loss.
"No, no, that's mine..."
So... what about hiding in the Yamen?
In embarrassment, the thin man raised his left foot and kicked Youmeng to the ground!
"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu"
It's not that he can't defeat these people in front of him, it's just that the forces behind these people are too powerful. If he defeats them now, he will face Cui Xiaotian's crazy counterattack, and the outcome will definitely be a disastrous defeat.
Moreover, if he could really rescue the young master and young lady of the Song family, Song Zhili would owe himself a big favor, which might be useful in the future.
Unexpectedly, the door of my house was open!
One of the door panels even fell off its hinges and was leaning to one side.
Once this crisis can be solved, his relationship with his superiors can be improved and he can gain a real foothold in the yamen.
Because he has a feeling that the Ghost Faced Killer case may seem bizarre and unsolvable, but in fact it is like a layer of window paper. As long as you find the right breakthrough, you can pierce it with one finger!
But, where is this breakthrough...
"Ouch!"
Carrying cut cakes in hand, she walked on the road. Although she was exhausted physically and mentally, Xu Zhen's mind was still running fast like a gear.
Yes, to solve the problem, you must solve it thoroughly. If you don't take action, you won't take action. If you do, you can't leave any room. You have to solve the problem fundamentally.
All right!
After some careful consideration, Xu Zhen put down the dagger in his pocket, a philistine smile gradually appeared on his gloomy face, and he cupped his fists at the man and said:
"It turns out to be Brother Erxin! I thought there were bandits coming into the house! I'm sorry, I'm sorry...hehehehe..."
