Hu Tiesuo, 32 years old, is from the Bai Zhao Kingdom. He comes from a family of police officers. His father was once known as the "Bai Zhao God of Police". He himself became a police officer at the age of sixteen. In ten years, he started from the most ordinary fast class yamen servant and rose to the top.
Go to Zhoucheng to capture the chief executive.
Mr. Hu, who had inherited the true family heritage, had great hope to surpass his father and become the new generation of "catchers" in Bai Zhao Kingdom. However, when handling the case, his father offended the royal family and was punished on fabricated charges, and the whole family was executed together.
, only one person escaped, Hu Tiesuo.
Hu Tiesuo, who was burdened with a blood feud, had no choice but to join the "Nie Lu Tie Liu" team of horse bandits. Although he had the skills of physical training passed down from his family, he was not good at martial arts and had always been mixed among ordinary horse bandits, and his reputation was not obvious.
After the "Nie Lu Tie Liu" was reorganized and stationed in Xinyi Prefecture, Mo Sanniang, in order to cope with the shortage of officials in the state, selected a group of people from the Xinyi Army to work as officials in Xinyi Prefecture to handle government affairs. Hu Tiesuo was also singled out.
.
After the "Ignorant Pavilion" was established, Mo Sanniang felt that it was a bit unfair to let Hu Tiesuo be the leader of the police. In addition, he was familiar with the situation in Bai Zhaoguo, so he selected him into the "Ignorant Pavilion".
Mo Sanniang also found the investigation task given by Lin Qing to be very difficult, so she handed it over to Hu Tiesuo, who was good at solving crimes. Unexpectedly, the results were obtained in less than a month.
After listening to Mo Sanniang's introduction, Lin Qingqing believed in the report on the silk. He unfolded the report and read it carefully.
Hu Tiesuo's idea of investigating this matter is actually very simple. He uses the method of catching fast and working backward:
The perpetrator (Liang Guozhu) deliberately concealed his identity, and the murder weapon (the Golden Ring Sword) did not have any markings, indicating that the perpetrator was well prepared to prevent others from discovering the murder weapon when he was refining it.
Then when the perpetrator chooses the refining materials, he will definitely not use the normal way that will leave many clues. In other words, the perpetrator will not let the investigators follow the origin and sales direction of iron essence, the material for refining the murder weapon.
Find yourself.
From this, it can be concluded that those trading firms opened by cultivation sects and families collect materials that are also used by sects and families to refine weapons, so they can be directly excluded.
Based on this inference alone, Hu Tiesuo directly eliminated half of the trading firms. After all, most of those who could purchase iron essence and other weapon-making materials had a background in cultivation forces.
Among the remaining eight trading houses, two are specialized in refining and selling magic weapons. They obviously receive the iron essence for their own use, so they are directly excluded; although there are three companies that have no direct background in cultivation forces, they are classified as **
An independent trading firm, but with clear and clear cultivation forces as its backers, was considered slightly suspicious by Hu Tiesuo and was excluded for the time being.
The last three remaining trading firms all had unclear backgrounds, unknown backends, and no specific use of the materials they purchased for refining, so they were listed as key suspects by Hu Tiesuo.
In fact, during the nearly one month of investigation, Hu Tiesuo spent all of his investigation on these three firms. The situation of the other firms did not even need to be investigated at all and could be found out by just asking.
These three firms with mysterious backgrounds were all different in their own ways. After Hu Tiesuo found it difficult to investigate the real owners behind them, he immediately found another way and turned to investigate their operating income and expenses.
The direction of investigation chosen by Hu Tiesuo was very strange, and the other "Ignorance Pavilion" people did not understand the purpose of this. However, because Hu Tiesuo was the general responsible, other personnel who followed military discipline as the rules of action had no choice but to cooperate.
This investigation consumed a lot of manpower and material resources from "Shi Shi Ge". After all, income and expenses are business secrets of the firm.
Fortunately, Hu Tiesuo is not the kind of person who just talks but doesn't practice. He taught the investigators various methods of inquiring. They openly bribed government officials to come and interrogate, secretly arranged for people to sneak in and steal the account books, and even went to competitors to inquire.
The message method seems very simple, but the effect is very obvious, and the investigation results will be obtained soon.
Among these three commercial banks, one's income and expenses are basically balanced, making no loss, and one's income is slightly less than its expenses, which is a slight loss. Only this Fuchuan Trading Company is the most peculiar, with almost no income, and it is a completely loss-making business!
"The normal purpose of opening a trading firm is to make money. Even if it is for collecting materials and gathering information, no force will maintain a trading firm with no income at all. Therefore, this Fuchuan Trading Firm is definitely the most suspicious!"
Hu Tiesuo elaborated on his views in the report:
"Judging from the things collected by this Fuchuan trading company, they are all materials related to cultivation, while the things sold are ordinary items of low quality and high price. Such crude cover-up can only prove the meaning of this trading company's existence, which is to
When collecting cultivation materials, they have no basic business knowledge at all, and they disdain the profit of the business."
"Any normal cultivation force will have areas in which they are good at, so they will only collect cultivation materials that they do not have, and this Fuchuan Trading Company collects everything, which shows that they themselves have no output at all. Behind their backs
It cannot be a normal cultivation force."
"All this proves that behind this Bucheon trading company is a new, inexperienced and secretive force, which is also most consistent with the identity of the holder of the murder weapon!"
When he saw this, Lin Qing couldn't help but applaud. Hu Tiesuo's analysis was so thorough and well-founded that people had no choice but to believe in his conclusion.
In fact, Hu Tiesuo didn't know the ins and outs of the whole thing, but he managed to analyze the general situation of the hidden forces behind Liang Guozhu through these seemingly ordinary clues, which is really impressive!
Lin Qing ordered:
"This Hu Tiesuo is good. He must be rewarded heavily. In addition, he must be promoted and reused, and he should be specifically responsible for intelligence analysis. In addition, in the future, 'Ignorance Pavilion' will not only use informants to collect intelligence, but also learn to use analytical methods to obtain intelligence.
, let Hu Tiesuo hand over everything he knows to everyone, and the intelligence analyzed based on a large number of investigations cannot be obtained by relying on informants!"
"Yes, I obey!" Seeing that Lin Qing was very satisfied with the work of "Ignorance Pavilion", Mo Sanniang felt as comfortable as drinking ice in summer, and she continued: "Master, Sima Yan and Yao Anshi have been asking you when
When you come back, do you want to summon them?"
Lin Qing thought for a moment and asked:
"Sanniang, do you think Sima Yan is reliable?"
What the current Xinyi Army lacks most is high-level monks who are completely trustworthy. Although Sima Yan is a follower of Lin Qing, and Lin Qing has saved his life, after all, the time they were together was too short, and for him as a person
His character still lacks enough trust.
"Reporting to the master, after Sima Yan came to Xinyi Prefecture, he has been diligently working hard to complete the tasks assigned to him by the master, and has persuaded many casual cultivators to join us."
"If Sima Yan has second thoughts, he will definitely try to win over the hearts and minds of these casual cultivators. According to my observation, Sima Yan has rarely contacted these casual cultivators after they joined us, and has no attempt to win over them.
After the master assigned him a new task, he had no doubts and was very concerned about teaching those children spells every day. From this, it can be judged that Sima Yan is still loyal to the master and is relatively reliable in his work."
Mo Sanniang's views on Sima Yan were very pertinent. She would not deliberately favor anyone, which made Lin Qing feel relieved.
Lin Qing asked again: "Have you tried to test him?"
Mo Sanniang replied: "How dare you disobey the master? Last time the master gave so many spiritual stones, I asked Sima Yan to take them out from the storage bag, and I deliberately left for a while.
, if he had some selfish motives, he would not be able to withstand the temptation and hide some secretly, but the slave counted the number afterwards, and it was completely consistent with the number the master told when he gave it to him."
"Also, the place where the slaves store these spirit stones is very secret, but it is not suitable to set up guards. If Sima Yan is not sincerely loyal to the master, he will definitely sneak in and steal. However, the slaves secretly guarded it for a long time and did not find Sima Yan.
Came here to spy."
"Haha, Sanniang, you are taking a bit of a risk. Such a large sum of spiritual stones is enough to buy a small sect. You actually used it to test Sima Yan. If he runs away with the spiritual stones, our Xinyi Prefecture will soon be without rice.
It's over." Lin Qing was completely relieved of Sima Yan at this time, but she still felt that Mo Sanniang's move was a bit risky.
"My master is teaching me that this slave will not act like this in the future." Although Mo Sanniang admitted that she was taking some risks, she continued with a rare hint of stubbornness: "This slave arranged this because she has enough respect for Sima Yan.
Confidence, thinking that he has decided not to betray his master!"
"Oh? Can you tell me about it?" Lin Qing's curiosity was suddenly aroused.
Mo Sanniang said: "Since following the master, the slave not only serves the master wholeheartedly, but also always hopes that other people can be as loyal to the master as the slave. After a long time, the slave finds that she can feel the master's affection in the hearts of other people.
status."
"What? Can you feel other people's thoughts?" Lin Qing was immediately startled. If Mo Sanniang really had this special power, she would really be a treasure.
Seeing that Lin Qing seemed to have some misunderstandings, Mo Sanniang hurriedly explained: "No, the slave is just in contact with someone for a period of time. If that person is as loyal to the master as the slave, then the slave will have a feeling in his heart
Good feelings come from the bottom of my heart.”
"For example, after Bai Qi arrived in Xinyi Prefecture, the slave quickly felt that he was very kind, like a member of his own family who had been separated for a long time. Because the master had once told him that he could trust Bai Qi unconditionally, so the slave knew this kind of affection.
It's because Bai Qi is as loyal to his master as a slave."
"Although I don't feel like a family member from Sima Yan, I do have an inexplicable affection for him. If I think about it carefully, it should be because he is also very loyal to his master."
