In the feudal era, torture and extortion of confessions became common practice, resulting in many unjust, false and wrongful convictions.
After the Ninth Princess ascended the throne, at Jin Feng's suggestion, torture was cancelled.
Within the bodyguard division, the main punishment for soldiers is confinement. Only when the circumstances are serious will the military club of the Military Court be used.
But Secret Service is different.
To a certain extent, the Secret Intelligence Department is a shadow team privately set up by the Ninth Princess, specializing in intelligence-related work.
This dead soldier is most likely a spy sent by a powerful person, and it would be appropriate to hand it over to the Secret Service.
The dead man is obviously determined to die, and ordinary interrogation can't ask anything at all, but the interrogation methods in the Secret Service have no restrictions, and there are almost no words that they can't pry open.
Although the loud arrow just now did not hit the air, the sound still spread far.
In just a short time, the patrol team and escorts who arrived had already filled half of the alley.
The squad leader of the escort was worried that something might have happened in the chaos, so he signaled the escort to carry the thief away.
Before leaving, I didn't forget to pat the patrol leader: "Brother, let's go together!"
"Okay!" The patrol leader quickly followed.
If the dead man this time was a big fish, it would be a great achievement for them to capture each other alive.
Since the escorts called him, it means that they have no intention of taking all the credit.
Ordinary escorts could not directly contact the Secret Service, so the escorts sent the dead soldiers back to the camp and handed them over to the Zhong Ming Group, who then contacted the Secret Service.
On the other side, the thief had been caught. The patrol team climbed over the wall and entered to confirm that there was no one else in the house before letting Shen Xiuxiu unlock the house.
"Brothers, I'm really sorry. I really didn't expect to alert the thief just now!"
Shen Xiuxiu apologized profusely to the patrol members.
The patrol injured two teammates. If they were ordinary people, they would at least be criticized.
But Shen Xiuxiu was still a child, and this kind of thing happened to her family again, and the deputy captain of the patrol team couldn't bear to scold her anymore.
He waved his hand and said, "It's okay. The thief has been caught anyway. Just be careful in the future. Go into the house and see if you have thrown anything."
Hearing what the deputy captain said, Shen Xiuxiu suddenly remembered something, turned around and went straight to the main room.
Seeing that the soul tablets on the altar table were still there, I let out a long sigh of relief.
This is what she values most.
After confirming that the soul was in good condition, Shen Xiuxiu began to check other things in the house.
Although the Shen family had a fishing boat, they did not dare to go fishing before transporting kelp. The family also lived a miserable life, with almost nothing of value at home.
Later, I made some money by transporting kelp to the drying yard, but the family spent most of their time on the boat. There was almost no one at home, so they didn't have time to buy furniture. Instead, they bought things with the money and took it on the boat, and some of it was deposited in Jinchuan Bank.
.
According to regulations, if the person who saved the money dies, the money stored in the bank belongs to the heirs. With the ID tag and the official death certificate and relationship certificate, the money in the account can be withdrawn without a password.
In other words, Shen Xiuxiu can withdraw the money.
But whether she knew that her family had saved money was another matter, and if the whole family passed away, the money would always be kept in Jinchuan Bank.
In fact, since the establishment of Jinchuan Bank, many accounts have become ownerless.
Most of these people are merchants from Jiangnan.
In order to avoid danger, they saved some money in the Jinchuan Chamber of Commerce, and later died in the turmoil in Jiangnan.
If the family is not told about the deposit, the family does not know about it, or the family member dies in the turmoil, then the money becomes ownerless.

Although the account will always be maintained, the money will always be in the bank's cash pool.
This is the case for the Shen family.
Shen Xiuxiu was so young that Shen's father didn't tell her at all when he was saving money. She didn't know there was any savings at home, so she thought all the money was used to buy things and put them on the ship, which was burned by pirates.
There were only a few houses in the house, and Shen Xiuxiu quickly looked around.
When the deputy captain of the patrol team saw her returning to the yard, he quickly asked: "How is it? Is there anything missing?"
"No, there is an extra box."
Shen Xiuxiu pointed to the west room.
"Multiple boxes?"
The deputy captain followed Shen Xiuxiu to the west room and found a wooden box beside the bed.
Opening the wooden box, the deputy captain couldn't help but take a breath of cold air.
The first thing he saw was a pile of silver ingots and a few gold ingots.
This was not the real reason for his surprise. What really surprised him was that next to the gold and silver, there was a crossbow and several grenades lying quietly!
Even within the bodyguards, crossbows and grenades are controlled items. If they are not on a mission, ordinary bodyguards cannot carry them at all.
Especially for grenades, each one is numbered and the control is very strict.
The navy's patrol team was only equipped with a hand crossbow that fired loud arrows, and not a single grenade.
As a result, I saw several of them in this small room!
Thinking about the thief's skill, the deputy captain couldn't help but become nervous.
"Girl Xiuxiu, things are a bit serious now. We need to seal off your home and check it carefully again. I hope you don't mind."
"I don't mind, I don't mind!" Shen Xiuxiu quickly waved her hand: "Can I burn some paper for my father and the others to kowtow to?"
"Of course you can!" the vice-captain nodded.
Shen Xiuxiu took the vegetable basket from Shui Wa, took out the fish cooked by Grandpa Turtle and put it on the altar table, then awkwardly lit the candle, then knelt on the ground, kowtowed towards the memorial tablet, and began to burn paper ingots.
During the whole process, Shen Xiuxiu did not speak.
Although there were many people in the family at this time, no one was her relative.
From then on, she was the only one left in this huge world, helpless.
Thinking of this, Shen Xiuxiu burst into tears.
Seeing this, Shui Wa knelt down next to her and kowtowed three times to the spiritual throne!
"Uncle and brother, I have never met you, but since Xiuxiu calls me brother, you are my uncle and brother!"
Shui Wa shouted loudly: "The navy brothers took me and Xiu Xiu to the pirates' hometown, killed all the pirates who harmed you, and captured the ones who were not killed. You can rest in peace!"
Since Xiuxiu calls me brother, I will be his brother from now on. Don’t worry, as long as she has something to eat from me, she won’t be hungry!"
After saying that, he imitated the sailor's behavior, patted his chest, and then kowtowed three times to the memorial tablet.
Shen Xiuxiu, who had never cried aloud, burst into tears when Shui Wa said this.
The heart that originally didn't know where to go and had no one to rely on seemed to suddenly find support.
The patrol members looked at the two villains silently, and no one came to disturb them.
