In the custody room of the Yamen of the Ministry of Punishment, Li Guolou was looking at the files as usual, and Wu Defu was still writing documents. There was no language exchange between the two, and they got along harmoniously in the room. When the case was handed over to the inner hall, there were always some clues.
Continue the investigation. Most of the vast files are headless and disorderly corpses. What can you tell about the nameless corpses dug up in the wilderness?
Li Guolou said: "Master Wu, these cases should have been committed by a group of people, right?"
Wu Defu stopped writing, raised his head and said, "Yes! The files I showed you today are all of the same type. What loopholes did you find in them?"
Li Guolou frowned slightly and said attentively: "The dead bodies are all young women, but most of them are unclaimed and no one comes to report the case. Their identities should be people like secret prostitutes. How many of these people die, no one
Concern. They were tortured by criminals before, and their heart and spleen were dug out. It should be done by people who believe in a cult. Judging from the place where the corpses were abandoned, the criminals must have tools to hide the corpses.
It may be a carriage, which means there are at least two criminals, and they are rich. We can’t find anything now. When the next time the criminal commits a crime, let me go and check the crime scene." Wu Defu raised his head and looked out the bright window.
, said: "I have inserted several people into the cult. There are no clues yet. Judging from the clues I have, it is very likely that it was done by people who believe in foreign cults. People in the Qing Dynasty used to only use boys and girls.
When offering sacrifices to heaven, unclean women are not used as priest supplies, and priests of ethnic minorities do not use prostitutes, they all use virgins. If foreigners are involved in this case, it will be troublesome."
Li Guolou smiled casually and said: "Master Wu, you are thinking wrong again. If foreigners believe in heresy, they will be burned to death by the Catholic Church. It would be great if they are really foreigners. I am afraid that we from the Qing Empire believe in it."
If you fall into a cult, what should you do if you are a high official?"
Wu Defu curled his lips and said: "Little Li, you are thinking wrong too. Do those high-ranking officials have personal freedom? They want to do bad things, but they have no chance! It is still done by those who are full and have nothing to do. Next time the city
There are cases like this happening outside, and I will introduce you to a master who tracks footprints. He has found horses and mules that have been lost by ordinary people."
Li Guolou nodded and said, "Oh, I've heard of this person. He's a Mongolian, right?"
Wu Defu smiled slightly and said: "Well, it's the old man's fault that he doesn't like to stay in the city. I'll introduce you to him later. He was also very good at fighting when he was young. Not only is he disabled with one hand."
Li Guolou said angrily: "I'm not just following orders, it's you who gave them, okay?"
Wu Defu acted rogue and said, "Really? I don't seem to have said a word."
Li Guolou murmured in his heart that the real boss was like this. He didn't need to give orders directly, but gave instructions through others. Even if the crime was committed, there was no way to testify against him on the spot.
Li Guolou stroked a stack of files and said, "It's better to get down to business. Is there any ready-made case for me to handle?"
Wu Defu replied: "Aren't you handling the treasury theft case in the Account Department? What else do you want to do with such a big case?"
Li Guolou was angry, spread out his hands, and said: "For such a big case, which Manchu can I interrogate? You can give me clear instructions. I have sent out all the people, but I can't poach, and I can't find the stolen ten people."
Fifty thousand taels of silver. Unlike in ancient times, when all the silver was hidden at home, the times are progressing and all the money has gone to banks. Where can I find it?"
How could Wu Defu not know the power struggle behind the case of missing money from the treasury? The people in the Criminal Department are all related to Yu Shuzhen, the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue. In this case, we can only help Yu Shuzhen, but not undermine Yu Shuzhen. In other words, we must offend the Ministry of Revenue.
With so many Manchus, the future is not optimistic.
Wu Defu smiled bitterly and said: "Xiao Lizi, take your time with this case. We also need to negotiate with Mr. Yu. Extorting confessions through torture is absolutely unacceptable. If you have any good ideas, you can also share them."
Li Guolou said: "Master Wu, I am still a newcomer. I don't know the tricks in the officialdom. There are no clever tricks. You should think of it yourself."
Wu Defu put his hands on the table, stood up and said: "It's better to take it slow and let Mr. Bao and Mr. Yu communicate well before we can take action. We, the little soldiers and generals, will be kicked into the quagmire by them. We don't want to die in an ugly way.
, you can only sit in a well and look at the sky."
Li Guolou gritted his teeth and said, "I also take on small cases. It's too boring to stay in the yamen."
Wu Defu said angrily: "You little plum, are you saying that being with me is boring? I will keep you in confinement for another three days."
Li Guolou quickly changed his face, stuck up with a kind look, and became Wu Defu's follower, pouring water and tea, starting from the bottom...
Li Guolou and Le Diandian left the police custody room. Today, they got a small case for him, "The Fang Family Theft Case." It doesn't matter, a case is better than no case at all. Going out for a walk is better than sitting still.
. He is very active and restless, but he still likes the outside world to stretch his ambitions.
Li Guolou returned to Tianzi Courtyard. The atmosphere here was different from before. People were standing guard at all levels to check everyone's standards. Everyone walked with a straight back. Yao Cuo went out early every day and came back late every day. He was full of enthusiasm for his work and was a bit
Bring back the taste of Jianghu.
Li Guolou could no longer leave the Yamen as he pleased. He first went to report the progress of his work to Yao Cuo, and then also reported clearly what he was going to do next, and all he had to do was submit a written document.
Yao Cuo stroked his beautiful beard and said in a long voice: "Well, Xiao Lizi has been doing well these days. Sit down and talk."
Li Guolou stood up straight and talked about his work for half an hour. Only then could he be qualified to be on an equal footing with Yao Cuo. These are the rules. To make progress in every line of work, there must be iron rules. Now the entire Penal Department Yamen is in the style of Tianzi Brigade
The best, the most energetic people, everyone is radiant and shows off their talents. They secretly share the most money, so they are motivated. Everyone bows to Yao Cuo, and no one dares to be a thorn.
Here, we do not talk about personal matters or matters of high status. Yao Cuo handles business matters openly, opens the door to talk about business, and has an upright expression, which makes Li Guolou feel that his elder brother Yao Cuo has reached a new level.
Li Guolou was still a little dissatisfied and said: "Captain Yao, please put the gold chain of the pocket watch inside and don't expose it. When have you ever seen those high-ranking officials wearing gold pocket watches? They are solemn and simple.
The way to be an official."
Yao Cuo touched the gold chain on his chest a few times, feeling a little reluctant to part with it, but he felt that what Li Guolou said was reasonable. He unbuttoned his bra and sighed: "Little Liz, what do you think I usually don't even take out my pocket watch?"
Do you also need to change the way you look at the time?"
Li Guolou chuckled, took out a pocket watch and said, "I bought a cheap pocket watch, Captain Yao, you should wear this on a daily basis."
Yao Cuo was extremely dissatisfied and said angrily: "Doesn't that make me lose my status? Why do you always wear a dress? It's unfair."
Li Guolou waved his hand and argued: "Hey, Captain Yao, I dress the same as everyone else in the yamen and only change my clothes when I go out. You are different. The superior wanted to have a meeting with you. You accidentally took out your pocket watch to check the time during the meeting.
If the superiors above see it, they will ask you for it. This is for your own good."
Yao Cuo thought about it, and it made sense. You have to honor your superiors with good things. How can you keep them all for yourself? He picked up the cheap pocket watch and said, "Well, it makes sense. I have seen some people wearing two.
Pocket watches, it turns out this is the truth. I also wear two pocket watches and learn to hide them."
Li Guolou shook his head and sighed. His eldest brother Yao Cuo still wanted to show his status. Men nowadays no longer look at the string of beads hanging on their chests, but learn from foreigners and see how much the pocket watch they take out is worth? Keeping pace with the times,
The atmosphere of the Qing Empire became more and more foreign.
Yao Cuo glanced at him and said, "Have Master Wu told you about coming to my house for dinner tonight?"
Li Guolou also curled his lips and said: "He is a dog-headed strategist. He doesn't say anything. You know the truth."
Yao Cuo sneered twice and said: "Yin man, it's good to know. Zhao Yao, the eagle catcher, will also come tonight, do you understand?"
Li Guolou nodded slightly and said, "What about land, sea, air, and clouds and winds?"
Yao Cuo said: "Is it okay if you don't come? The next big battle will depend on everyone's concerted efforts. The meat will be given to them first. If things don't go well next, don't blame me for being ruthless."
Li Guolou glanced at Yao Cuo, his heart trembled, and the hairs on his hair stood up in fear. The eldest brother Yao Cuo, and the second brother Wu Defu were about to attack their subordinates. They were timid and did not have much ability to do things. They only relied on nepotism to rise to the second level.
The team is on land, sea, and air. If they don't perform well, they will get rid of this burden. If you want to be able to take it all, you must have the ability. If you want to have a ready-made ending, you will be disliked. The terrible Wu Defu, the team is formed
, it is necessary to change the blood and reorganize. If Lu Haikong does not show his performance, he will still be mixed in the crowd as before, and there is only one way to die. And he may still be the sharp knife. This kind of thing is something he cannot do no matter what.
Li Guolou blurted out: "Captain Yao, don't look for me!"
Yao Cuo said angrily: "Don't be smart, just shut up. Things haven't happened yet, it depends on God's will. Do you understand?"
Li Guolou did not dare to sit on his seat, so he stood up from the ground, stood at attention and saluted: "This is Captain Yao. I will obey your orders."
Yao Cuo looked at Li Guolou with satisfaction and squinted his eyes. It was this young man who gave him renewed fighting spirit. A perfect start, a successful team combination, and there are still no mistakes. The snow-white money has been rolling in. His
The territory has expanded, and good times are around the corner. Next, he will expand the territory, and the ambition to kill has sprouted in his heart. He also has to get his hands stained with the blood of gangsters, so that he can gain a foothold in the capital and start a full-scale war with gangsters. Will he
Direct with one hand.
Yao Cuo said meaningfully: "If you do a good job, little Lizi, the Dizi Courtyard should be yours from now on. We will work together to manage the capital without any mistakes."
Li Guolou puffed up his chest and said, "It's all thanks to the cultivation of my superiors. I will definitely keep this in mind. This is my root."
Li Guolou left Yao Cuo's office, still a little nervous. He originally thought that his move was fast, but he didn't expect that Wu Defu's pace was also very fast, and a war with the gang was imminent. The Spring Festival is coming soon, God bless peace and quiet,
Everything will happen after the Spring Festival.
(Please collect it, hope to collect it, more exciting things will happen in the future!)
