The sun was setting in the west, but the oil lamps were still on in the Changshan County police station, and the policemen were still lighting lamps for night fighting.
The job of being a police officer is not easy to do. If you don't have an official status but you have to eat an official meal, naturally the most painful and tiring job will fall into your hands.
Monkey and Lao Liu who went to the scene came back and came to the same conclusion as Li Taiping, but they couldn't tell how high the martial arts level of the person who committed the crime was. Qingzi and Erdan also came back, but there was no good news. Because the Zhao family in Zhengyang Village is really ordinary, they are out-and-out poor people.
With his years of investigative experience, Capt. Zhou concluded that the pure yin body was no coincidence, so he ordered people to obtain the files of all missing persons in the past five years.
The detective's squad room was not big. At this time, there were files on the case, the floor and even the stools, and there was no place to stay.
Captain Zhou just asked the detectives to pick out the missing girl's files from the pile of files, but this workload cannot be completed in a short time.
All the detectives worked together to search, and even Li Taiping was not idle, just to find out the clues as soon as possible...
"Boom--boom! Boom! It's safe!"
A watchman was heard on the street, with one long and two short sounds of gongs, and the policemen finally finished comparing the files on hand.
I saw Capt. Zhou clear the other files on the case, put down the four files and said: "It's the middle of the night, but fortunately my work was not in vain!"
Lao Gao picked up the two files and said: "These are the two girls who disappeared the year before last. They are both pure yin bodies. It is obvious that the perpetrator is a habitual criminal!"
Captain Zhou smiled and said: "If you have clues about this case, it will be easier to investigate. Everyone is tired today, so go back and rest early! Tomorrow morning, Lao Gao will take two people and go to the county magistrate's mansion to collect information about missing persons from other counties. The files have also been moved here to see if there are any new gains. Others, please work hard tomorrow and check the three missing cases to see if there are any omissions. "
All the police officers left the squad room in a fit of anger. It looked like they were very tired today. But there were still two people in the squad room who had not left. One was Capt. Zhou, and the other was Li Taiping, who had just taken office today.
I saw Capt. Zhou looking at Li Taiping and saying with a smile: "Capt. Li, why don't you go back and rest?"
Li Taiping smiled and said, "Don't call me Captou Li. If you're weird, just call me Taiping!"
Zhou Captou laughed loudly and said: "Brother Taiping, how is the life of being a fastman better than that of Jianghu?"
"Brother Zhou, Taiping has learned a lot today. Not everyone can be a police officer!"
At this time, Zhou Captou suddenly sighed: "Brother Taiping, I am not complaining about my brother, this job of being a fastman is really not done by human beings! The salary and food money earned after a hard month's work is not enough to support the family. If it happens, A strong man has to fight with his life!"
I saw Capt. Zhou pick up a wine bottle while working on the case, take a sip and say: "There is no way, the money earned is not enough to support the family, so the brothers have to do some side jobs to supplement the family income. I don't know about others, I only know We brothers have never done anything out of the ordinary, but just like this, the people don’t say anything good about us! Brother Taiping, tell me, is this job of catching fast people done by humans?"
"It's not a pleasure to be tired and have your head hanging from your waist. It's really not a job for people! Brother Zhou, I really understand today that it's hard to catch someone fast." Li Taiping said helplessly.
Captain Zhou took another sip of wine, cheered up and said, "We don't ask for the understanding of the people. As long as the case we get can be solved as soon as possible and we can give an explanation to the county magistrate and the people, we will be satisfied!"
When Li Taiping walked out of the class room, Zhou Captou was already drunk and fell asleep with his arms around the file...
In the county government courtyard, Li Taiping pushed open the wooden door of the wing and walked in. This was the residence Chai Guangxiao had arranged for him. Although the house was not big, it was clean and tidy, and Li Taiping was already very satisfied.
Early the next morning, Li Taiping got up early. As soon as he opened the door, he saw the county government secretary boxing in the yard.
"Good morning Master Han, I didn't expect Master Han to practice martial arts!" Li Taiping greeted with a smile.
I saw Chief Han put away his fist and wiped his forehead and said: "I'm old! It's impossible to practice martial arts. I just box and exercise, otherwise this old bone will not be able to lift a pen! That's right!
, the noodle soup shop opposite the county government office is pretty good, you can get enough for just one penny, so you can try it."
Li Taiping smiled and said, "Master, do you want to come with us?"
"No! I can't eat much because I'm old. I have some porridge left over from last night. I'll just heat it up and take a sip."
When Li Taiping left the county government office, he saw that there was indeed a noodle soup shop opposite, and there were quite a lot of people. Li Taiping strode towards the shop, and as soon as he entered, he heard someone greeting him.
"Brother Taiping is here."
Li Taiping turned around and took a look, and couldn't help but smile. What a coincidence, Zhou Captou was also there.
"Lady boss, give me a bowl of noodle soup for this little brother. If you want to add meat, charge it to my account." Zhou Captou shouted at the top of his voice.
The landlady was in her thirties. She had an ordinary appearance but an eye-catching figure. When she walked, the two lumps of flesh on her chest could blind people.
"Hey! I thought the sun was out in the west. That's why Mr. Zhou was so generous. It turned out that he had made such a handsome brother!" The landlady deliberately bumped Li Taiping's arm with the two lumps of flesh, and winked at her frequently.
.
Zhou Baotou glared and said, "Stop showing off your little capital, my brother is not an ordinary person and can't be looked down upon!"
The proprietress rolled her eyes at Zhou Captou, put down a piece of soup, looked at Li Taiping with a smile and said, "There's enough meat, feel free to eat it. If it's not enough, ask me for it without your money!"
Li Taiping pretended not to notice the winking look of the landlady. The landlady stamped her feet, twisted the waist of the water snake and returned to the back kitchen...
When Li Taiping saw Mr. Zhou looking at him with a wicked smile, he couldn't help but said: "It seems that I can no longer come to this shop!"
"What are you afraid of, a big man? That bitch can still eat you!"
Zhou Captou swallowed the noodles in his mouth, looked at Li Taiping with a smile and said.
Li Taiping took a sip and nodded, saying, "It's chewy and tasty! - I'm not afraid that someone wants to eat me, I'm afraid of being remembered!"
Zhou Captou picked up the big bowl and drank all the soup before he said with satisfaction: "Come with me to the Fubing Station later, and let's go see the Governor."
"Going to see the Lieutenant?"
Seeing that Li Taiping was puzzled, Captain Zhou said: "If the person who committed the crime is really a master of martial arts, he can't do it with the few garlics I have! So, we have to say hello to the military in advance, and at critical moments we have to
It takes action from the government soldiers."
Li Taiping wanted to say, "That's not necessary!" But then he thought, if the person who committed the crime had a higher level of cultivation than himself, letting him run away would not only be embarrassing, so to be on the safe side, he had to cooperate with the soldiers.
That's good.
Dongyang County Governor Qian Yinglong's skills are mediocre, but his ability to flatter people is top-notch. Moreover, this person has a very strong backing, even the county governor wants to give him three points.
"Same pronunciation but different words, Qian Yinglong has nothing to do with our county guard Ganzhe! Qian Yinglong's backstage is Tuoba Jiong, and this guy is Tuoba Jiong's brother-in-law!"
Li Taiping frowned and said, "Tuoba Jiong's hand is stretched so long?"
Zhou Captou sighed: "It's so long! If our county governor Gan Zhan hadn't been a student of Mr. Tantai, I'm afraid all of Dongyang County would have belonged to the Tuoba family!"
Along the way, Capt. Zhou exposed the old lieutenants of the governor, just to let Li Taiping know that he should be measured when facing the governor and not to make things worse.
As Li Taiping walked, he thought to himself that the south was already in chaos, and various forces might have carved up the south of the Qian Dynasty.
In the Fubing camp, Qian Yinglong looked at Li Taiping and a thought flashed through his mind. If he was found guilty and chopped up here, I wonder if my brother-in-law would be happy and transfer me back to Jiangning City.
Qian Yinglong struggled in his mind for a long time, and finally gave up the idea. First, he was not sure about Tuoba Jiong's attitude towards this kid; second, if he couldn't kill this kid, he would kill him instead, and there would be trouble. What a big joke.
Fortunately, Qian Yinglong was timid. If he really took action, with a thousand soldiers and powerful crossbows in the army, it wouldn't be a big problem to kill Li Taiping, but the losses to the soldiers would definitely be considerable. Then Sugar Cane would have something to say. After all. Li Taiping now has the status of a head catcher. Although the head catcher is not an official, he is still a member of the official family. Maybe the governor of Dongyang County will have to be replaced.
Losing a lieutenant is nothing, but it will disrupt Tuoba Jiong's plan. Then he will not be able to reap the benefits of Yinglong, and even her sister may not be able to protect him.
However, not killing Li Taiping can make it difficult for Li Taiping. After listening to Zhou Baotou's words, Qian Yinglong frowned and said: "For a missing person case, we use the government soldiers. How many heads do you have, Zhou Baotou?" ? Not to mention your little catch, even if the county guard Sugar Cane comes, the soldiers will not be able to move. Unless the Holy One gives an order, there is no way for the soldiers to take a step out of the camp. "
Zhou Baotou secretly cursed, "Will your Tuoba family listen to the Holy Master? Who are you lying to?" However, Zhou Baotou did not dare to say it out loud, so he could only try to beg Qian Yinglong again.
Li Taiping was not stupid. He had already seen that Qian Yinglong was targeting him, so he couldn't help but drag Zhou Baotou away who wanted to beg Qian Yinglong again...
Looking at Li Taiping's angrily leaving figure, Qian Yinglong spat and cursed: "I want to help you, so stop dreaming! Even if I don't say anything to you, I'm worthy of you!"
On the way back, Li Taiping looked at the frowning Zhou Captou and said: "Find that person first. If we really can't beat him, I will go to the Cui family and ask Mr. Tantai. I don't believe that person is still alive." It can turn the world upside down!"
Zhou Captou looked at Li Taiping in disbelief and couldn't help but said: "Little brother Taiping, can you talk to the Cui family and the Tantai family?"
Li Taiping knew he had made a mistake and said hurriedly: "I am always wandering in the world, and it would be hard if I didn't have some friends! It just so happens that I have two good friends who can talk to the Cui family and the Tantai family."
Captain Zhou was slightly disappointed, but he didn't show it. Instead, he said, "It's easy to tell, but we have to find out the case first."
Li Taiping and Captain Zhou returned to the county office, but as soon as they entered the prison yard, they were so overwhelmed by the files that they almost fell over...
