Chapter 311: Plucking the Hair from the Tiger's Mouth
In the panic-stricken Yuan Mansion, an old housekeeper who was running quickly opened his mouth and said: "Bold! You know that our master is;;;;;;"
"Papa!" Gao Yao Wuyun slapped his hand twice and shouted angrily: "Old guy, you are not allowed to speak until the officer asks you a question."
"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!" The old housekeeper had never been beaten in her life. She covered her cheeks and cried bitterly. It hurt so much that it hurt her heart! Grandma Guan was so strong that her left and right cheeks were swollen, as if she was holding two sticks in her mouth.
Like a big piece of meat.
"Everyone kneel down, let the Ministry of Punishment catch the murderer! Anyone who dares to move will be killed without mercy!" Li Guolou shouted loudly. He showed a ferocious look, kicked the servants who were looking after the house and the courtyard to the ground one by one, and took away the hands of the servants.
weapons inside.
The five servants in the outer courtyard were suddenly frightened by the police's aura. None of them had ever seen the officers and soldiers being so terrifying. They even kicked down the door and knocked the old housekeeper to the ground. People who usually talk big words,
He hurriedly threw away the firearm in his hand, fearing that the officers and soldiers would shoot him.
"Don't be polite to anyone! Control them all." Li Guolou said until he reached the end of the road. Regardless of whether the people here were guilty or not, he wanted to shoot them in the head.
The troops were divided into two groups. Chen Rong, the foreman of the guard, led people to arrest people in Yuan's mansion. Li Guolou took Gao Yaowun straight to the backyard. As expected, there was a stable in the backyard. Five horses were riding or standing, looking at strangers with astounding expressions.
People enter their territory.
In the stable, Gao Yao Wuyun looked through the hooves of several horses and quickly found the two packhorses that had been following him for seven or eight hours. Several detectives broke open the door of a storage room and opened the two doors.
, there are four carriages parked inside. There is no need to choose, a carriage from Maji Carriage is parked inside.
Li Guolou stepped onto the carriage in one stride and looked around anxiously in the carriage, trying to find any clues left by the murderer. The space in the carriage was small and it was difficult to turn around. He accidentally bumped heads with one of his subordinates.
The two of them were still complaining about each other.
Outside the carriage, Gao Yao Wuyun said proudly and excitedly: "Boss, come out quickly. The secret compartment is under the carriage. I found blood stains."
Li Guolou jumped out of the carriage in a hurry, only to see Gao Yao Wuyun lying on the ground, a lantern placed under the carriage, and a moving secret compartment opened by her, which could fit a person into the hidden compartment.
It was filled with blackened blood, and countless innocent women died inside.
"Okay, okay! Gao Yao did a wonderful job of catching a head. I want the murderer to pay with blood. Hurry up and hitch the carriage and take the evidence back to the Ministry of Punishment. Hurry, we go back to the capital directly, otherwise we will be eaten by others."
Of course, Li Guolou knew how dangerous the place he was in was. If Yuan Baoheng, the commander of the right-wing forward battalion, knew that he led arrests and rushed into the Yuan Mansion, he would probably be killed and silenced.
"It's your order!" Gao Yao Wuyun rolled over excitedly, and started to get busy again no matter how dirty he was.
Li Guolou stepped into the brightly lit living room. All the people in the Yuan Mansion were detained here by Chen Rong, the head guard. There were five servants, one housekeeper, four servants, and two maids. Even the third son of the owner Yuan Baoheng, Yuan Chuqiao, was also detained here.
Please take a seat on a rosewood chair. There are only thirteen people in total, and there are no wives or concubines of Yuan Chuqiao.
Li Guolou already knew that Yuan Chuqiao did not stay in this house often, but sometimes came to stay for a few days. Usually there was only the old housekeeper and two servants taking care of the huge courtyard.
When Li Guolou entered the living room, he heard Yuan Chuqiao shouting, saying that he wanted to see Chen Rong crawling at his feet like a dog and begging for mercy.
But Chen Rong became fierce and whipped up, leaving a bloody whip mark on Yuan Chuqiao's face. He cursed angrily: "Donkey ball, grandpa is not scared. You are still wearing crotchless pants. How dare you take your father's official hat?"
Press me."
He immediately beat Yuan Chuqiao into silence. Yuan Chuqiao glared at Chen Rong with a pair of stubborn eyes, breathing heavily from her nostrils, and killed people with vicious eyes.
Li Guolou stepped into the living room, nodded slightly to Chen Rong, and told the four guards of Prince Gong that he had obtained the evidence of the murder.
Li Guolou held a riding whip and looked at Yuan Chuqiao who was sitting upright. He was about thirty years old. He was a short and stocky man with a fair face. His face was wide at the top and narrow at the bottom. He had two finely trimmed mustaches and a pair of stubborn lips.
With his big eyes, he looked at people with a ferocious look. Such an ordinary young man had such a ferocious heart.
Li Guolou looked at Yuan Chuqiao and asked straight to the point: "Master Yuan, who used that horse carriage today?"
Yuan Chuqiao touched the scar on her face, looked at the blood on her palm, and said sharply: "You all listen to me, no one is allowed to speak."
The trembling in Yuan Chuqiao's voice represented the fear in Yuan Chuqiao's heart. Li Guolou winked, and Detective Liu Yu stepped forward and kicked Yuan Chuqiao to the ground. Several other detectives also stepped forward, tied up Yuan Chuqiao, and tore her apart.
A ball of curtain cloth was stuffed into Yuan Chuqiao's mouth.
Li Guolou raised his whip, looked at the other people kneeling on the ground, and said: "Did you see it? I am not afraid of anyone. I will ask again, who has used the horse carriage in the warehouse today? It is not guilty.
You better speak now, otherwise when the carriage outside is hitched, you will go to the Penal Department Yamen to eat in prison, and even those who are not guilty will be sentenced to three thousand miles in prison."
Two innocent maids were the first to howl and cry in grievance. They didn't know anything. Even if they knew who had used the carriage, they didn't dare to say anything.
The five servants are servants who take their salaries to help others in trouble. They are not willing to be cowards in public and will not reveal the truth for a while.
The guilty person kneels on the ground, hoping that it would be best to become invisible and that no one would pay attention to him. He grits his teeth and tastes all kinds of tastes for himself.
The old housekeeper Tian Rongfang had suffered a lot just now. At this time, she heard people outside shouting, and knew that if they didn't tell the truth, they would all be imprisoned. What had the young master Yuan Chuqiao done? He thought he was unaware of the ghost, but really
Can it be hidden from his eyes? He is just retiring here. He has land at home and a wife and children. He has never thought about going to jail.
Tian Rongfang covered her bloated face with both hands and said in vague words: "Sir, it was the third young master and the coachman Yu Datou who used the Maji carriage today. They only used the carriage and did not care about the rest of us.
." After saying this, Tian Rongfang looked at the tribute platform in the center of the living room, and she was mumbling something in her mouth. She didn't know what she was talking about.
A big servant stood up with a cry of "Ah!" and wanted to rush out of the living room. Li Guolou stepped forward and punched Yu Datou in the abdomen. Yu Datou immediately fell to the ground, curled up like a dead pig.
He stretched his body and twitched strangely.
Li Guolou stroked his fist and said with a carefree smile: "Yu Datou, when you get to the prison, you hope to die."
Yu Datou shouted: "I didn't kill anyone. I didn't kill the person. I couldn't help it! It was the third young master who forced me. I had something to do and was held by the third young master. I had no choice but to do such a thing;;;
;;;”
Li Guolou shook his head and sighed: "Yu Datou, no one can force you. It's not too late to know that you are wrong now. I will plead with Mr. Bao on your behalf. The law does not forget human kindness, and you still have hope of living."
"
Li Guolou told lies with his eyes open. He wanted to make Yu Datou explain the murder and autopsy case clearly. He would give Yu Datou a hollow glutinous rice ball to eat, and when the evidence was complete, he would give Yu Datou a death sentence.
This is also a common method used by police officers in handling cases. They break them down one by one, or trick them carefully to get the criminals to confess in the shortest possible time. The police officers who interrogate the criminals have many ways of swearing, and sometimes they even pretend to be righteous to get the criminals to admit their guilt in the shortest possible time.
This is how unjust, false, and wrongful convictions come about when the case is thrown down.
The third young master, Yuan Chuqiao, made a strange cry of "Woo!" and wanted to speak, but could not say a word and had no chance to confess.
Several detectives who searched the room returned and searched the master room for the tools of the crime, a medical surgical box, and human organs placed in a silver box. Looking at the incomplete heart and lungs, one was completely speechless.
Chen Rong stared in surprise and said: "Okay! Third Young Master, you are a good man, you can also eat people's hearts and livers! You are more powerful than the good men in Liangshan. I have learned a lot today."
Li Guolou glanced at him and said, "Brother Chen, stop joking and leave quickly. If you don't leave, Yuan Baoheng will shoot you." He then said, "Tie them all up, including the two maids."
Chen Rong touched the revolver in his hand, winked and said, "I'm not a vegetarian either, I have a dark heart."
Since the four guards of Prince Gong's palace were involved in this transaction, they would go all the way to the dark side. How could they be so merciful and ready to kill people at any time?
Li Guolou patted Chen Rong on the shoulder and said in a low voice: "Brother, don't brag when you go back. Wait until the case is settled. You may lose your car to save your handsome man. Do you understand?"
"Ah! It's so dark!" Chen Rong was startled. What the hell is he? He's not looking for death.
Li Guolou said with a sinister smile: "Hey, brother, you misunderstood. This case is too big. If it is announced, it will embarrass the court. It is a secret operation. Do you understand? Usually such a big case will make Yu Da have a big head, and he will be charged with it."
Everything is listed on his head. Murderer Yuan Chuqiao, how could I let him get out alive? If officials really protect each other, I will kill him too. Just be patient and wait for good news. The tighter your mouth is, the more Prince Gong will use you.
"
"Oh! Captain Li is worthy of being the Tiger of the Criminal Department, I understand. Hahahaha!" Chen Rong saw how ruthless Li Guolou was and believed that the two criminals would not survive this autumn.
The horses and carriages of the Yuan Mansion were used to arrest two criminals, Yuan Chuqiao and Yu Datou. They also arrested five servants, because are they guilty? They have to go back to the Ministry of Punishment for screening. It is very likely that there are people inside who know about it.
Retribution, that is also a serious sin.
The housekeeper Tian Rongfang, three servants and two maids were all tied up and thrown in the living room, preventing them from having a chance to report the news.
Li Guolou and Chen Rong sang in harmony to scare several officials who came to Fuxinzhuang overnight and asked them to stay calm. Prince Gong would not forget their contribution and asked them not to say anything and wait for official documents from the Prime Minister's Yamen and the Ministry of Justice.
.
Then Li Guolou and his party drove two carriages overnight, escorting two criminals and five suspects, and set out for the capital.
After leaving Fuxinzhuang, Li Guolou checked the time and saw that it was already past one o'clock in the middle of the night. It only took them more than three hours to solve a long-standing unsolved case.
Li Guolou couldn't help but laugh wildly. With all the witnesses and material evidence, no one could try to reverse the case. He didn't like to impose cruel punishments on criminals, but this time he wanted to hone his steely nerves in prison.
Chen Rong couldn't help but laugh wildly. The group of people rode their horses and whipped their whips, bursting into laughter together. After a hunt for a murderer, their nervousness still hasn't calmed down, for fear of someone chasing them.
Chen Rong couldn't help but ask: "Captain Li, do you think Yuan Baoheng, the commander of the right-wing forward battalion, will be in the barracks now? If he hears that his son has been arrested, will he jump over the wall?"
Li Guolou said: "Even if he heard it, he would not dare to mobilize troops. That is a crime of beheading. The worst outcome is that Yuan Baoheng brings his soldiers to chase us. Brother, a second-grade military attache, how many relatives do you have?"
Soldiers?"
"Well, there are only thirty people in the capital city. Listen to what you say, Yuan Baoheng doesn't dare to chase us. How does he know how many of us there are? If Prince Gong personally issues the decree, won't he want to rebel? Now, brother
Sit back and relax." Chen Rong looked at the carriage. They still had protective facilities. An army of thirty people could not defeat them.
Li Guolou thought about it and sailed the Wannian Ship carefully. He ordered his troops to divide into two groups. He escorted the main criminal Yuan Chuqiao and the five suspects and walked slightly behind. He asked Gao Yaowun to take two detectives and four Prince Gong.
The guards escorted Yu Datou to go ahead on horseback to ensure that no one else would take the blame.
Chen Rong felt strange and asked: "Captain Li, why did you arrange it like this? Isn't it reversed? Yuan Chuqiao is the key to the case."
Li Guolou nodded and said: "I know, everyone knows it in their hearts, but we are plucking hair from the tiger's mouth. If Yuan Baoheng is acting arrogant, or if officials are protecting each other, the murderer Yuan Chuqiao will not be able to do anything to him for a while. On the contrary, the accomplice Yu Datou can pronounce the sentence
Death penalty, the case is closed. If Mr. Yuan comes after him and sees this result, he will let us go, thinking that I have made friends with him. And we hold on to the excuse, don't we still have the opportunity to cry to Prince Gong? "
Chen Rong stroked his beard, laughed and said: "Captain Li, what you said makes sense, living with your life is the right way. Let me take the first step, and we will meet again in the capital."
He secretly admired Li Guolou for his ability to pour ecstasy soup on people at such a young age. No wonder Zhen Yuhuan from the Pingqing Club liked this little fox. The two of them were in the same league and were masters of the underworld.
