Li Guolou washed his face with water and shook his head a few times. He seemed a little dizzy, which he brought on himself, and then used a trick to scare people. At this time, Li Guolou had only one road left in Huashan, so he ran to the group of passers-by first.
, there is the greatest possibility of a murderer here. More than a hundred passers-by stood in rows, and Li Guolou walked past them one by one.
Li Guolou shouted: "Stretch out your fingers!"
After walking around, Li Guolou dragged five people out of the crowd and shouted: "Take them to the Yamen."
Ai Haihu asked: "Deputy Li, why are there five suspects?"
Li Guolou glanced at the five suspects and said: "Some of them are murderers, some are accomplices at the scene, and some may be at the crime scene and have been threatened by the murderer. Go back and interrogate them to make sure they are right."
Ai Hai asked: "Vice Captain Li, how did you know?"
Li Guolou said: "Bald Ai, you all have runny noses, but I have a dog's nose. They all smell of gunpowder, and they were at the scene when the crime happened."
Wu Defu stood nearby and smelled the smell of the five suspects. He frowned, ran to Li Guolou, and whispered in his ear: "Little Lizi, what are you doing? Why can't I smell it?"
Li Guolou put his finger to his mouth and said softly: "Master Wu, don't tell the truth. These five of them are all serious suspects. If a dog bites a dog, it will be revealed."
Wu Defu said softly: "Xiao Lizi, how did you know?"
Li Guolou whispered: "Master Wu, I am best at reading people's faces. I touched the calluses on their hands and smelled the smell on their bodies. They themselves were already panicking."
Wu Defu asked anxiously: "Where is the gun?"
Li Guolou glanced at the merchants in front of him, ran over and said: "Who among you has hidden two guns, please hand them over quickly, or else they will be searched and executed later. The hunting dogs will come later, you
I can’t hide it even if I want to.”
After scaring the merchants with hunting dogs, one merchant fell to his knees and howled loudly: "The official has nothing to do with me. It was that young man who forced me to hide the gun. He was the thin man in the middle."
The thin man didn't wait for the officer to take him away, took out a pill from his arms, stuffed it into his mouth and shouted: "A good man does what a good man does, it's all done by me, it's none of other people's business."
Li Guolou said anxiously: "Hurry and grab the person next to you!"
He expected that the other murderer also had poison, but it was too late. Another man in his thirties also swallowed poison, smiled up to the sky, and collapsed to the ground.
Li Guolou did not expect that these two murderers were still dead men. It seems that this case has a bigger conspiracy. Who in the world can raise dead men? They can also provide poison for dead men. This case
What's the secret behind it has become an unsolved case.
Wu Defu had never encountered such a strange thing. Two murderers committed suicide in the street, and their great success was in vain. He vented his anger directly on Li Guolou and said angrily: "Xiao Lizi, why don't you tie up these five suspects?
, I will beat you to death."
Li Guolou was speechless, pointed at the government officials, and said: "Master Wu, they are not my subordinates, how can I order them?"
Wu Defu said angrily: "Little Li, how dare you talk back? I will put you in solitary confinement for three days when I go back."
Li Guolou felt so wronged. He was just a captain. There were many people with higher rankings than him, so there was no reason for him to order them. Just now, he was just scared and confused. He didn't find the real murderer and wanted to go back to the Yamen.
After identifying the five suspects, I never thought that the suspect would commit suicide. Who would have thought of it? Wu Defu was the highest official at the scene, but he completely shied away the responsibility. Instead, he became the number one culprit in this case. It is so unreasonable.
The case has been solved, and two fine short-barreled flintlock rifles have been found. However, neither the government officials nor the police officers present felt a sense of accomplishment. Instead, there was a cold air, colder than winter. One could not help but imagine meeting two of them.
What will be the result of the dead soldiers? Let people taste the bitter fruit of failure. Dead bodies everywhere are their harvest today. The main culprit of the murder is hidden behind the scenes, and no one can find it. A clueless case makes everyone bow their heads.
, not as majestic and heroic as usual when walking on the street.
Li Guolou and his small team walked behind the large group of people. Although he was in a low mood, his five men had become arrogant. Their team was still the most glorious, and they took over all the good and bad things.
Wu Defu deliberately drove slowly, stopped next to Li Guolou, and whispered: "Little Liz, don't touch this case again, I don't want to collect the body for you."
Li Guolou looked at the officer. Just now in Biandan Alley, Wu Defu said loudly to the people and the family members of the deceased that he would investigate this case to the end, and praised him in public. He said that he would hand over this case to the best.
Detective, then wouldn't he be the best at such a crime scene? Li Guolou had already been burning with fighting spirit, but all of it suddenly disappeared.
There are too many ulterior secrets in the capital. The palace, nobles, high-ranking officials, gangs, rivers and lakes, including himself, are all doing dirty things. How many of them can be exposed? Li Guolou thought to himself, in his heart
Thinking about the case of missing money from the treasury in the Ministry of Accounts, this shocking case, is it really only 150,000 taels of silver that does not match the books?
The Qing Empire was ruled by the Manchus for more than a hundred years. The white silver in the treasury made many people jealous. The silver, whether large or small, had to be melted again and cast into unified silver nuggets and ingots. The local fire cost was at least
Three yuan was lost, and the extra money was wasted, and it was embezzled by those local officials. The trick here is known to the world.
"Three years to clear the prefecture, one hundred thousand snowflake silver!" It was obtained from fire consumption. In the past, silver must have been stolen from the treasury, and the broken silver was re-smelted, and the deficit was filled through fire consumption. Those officials could fill the deficit in the treasury.
Today he had seen the treasury silver in the treasury and had already guessed why Yu Shuzhen, the Minister of Household Affairs, exposed this scandal? Those Manchu subordinates did not take Yu Shuzhen seriously. There was no miscellaneous silver or broken silver in such a large treasury. All silver was large.
The unified Tongzhou silver did not give Yu Shuzhen the opportunity to apply for a re-melting furnace, which was to deliberately make things difficult for Yu Shuzhen, the Minister of Household Affairs. No wonder Yu Shuzhen broke the boat, offended all the Manchu colleagues, and directly brought the case of missing silver from the treasury to the emperor.
This case was an official battle. The highest echelons of the Qing Empire were at war with each other, reaching the point where they were incompatible with each other. They even assassinated officials. What big things would happen next? He couldn't imagine.
After I came out, I didn’t dare to think about it anymore.
After returning to the Criminal Department, Li Guolou took a deep breath and drank a sip of tea. He had not called his subordinates for a meeting yet. Wu Tat came over and asked him to see Wu Defu. Li Guolou said: "Xiao Wu, is it that Old Lu is with Master Wu?"
There?"
Wu Tat nodded and said: "Of course, Xiao Lizi, you have to accept praise and be put in solitary confinement today. It will be your turn to do both good and bad things."
Li Guolou asked Wu Tatar to wait for him for a while, called Ai Hai and several other subordinates, and said: "Here is a list of all officials and treasuries who can enter the treasury. Please carefully investigate their family and financial situations for me. I will
Be real and don't mess up the job or my knees will come up."
Ma Dequan laughed loudly, and the people in the room were elated. In the past, they were unknown members of the Criminal Department, but now their squadron is the most famous team.
After Li Guolou explained what was to be done next, he and Wu Tat went to the back hall. A group of fake foreign devils Du Xianyu, Huang Guang, and Yu Hanbing were being received in the back hall by the Minister of Punishment, Shubao. The master was short of
If he can't get him, will he be put into solitary confinement at night? I'm afraid he will be cheated, because there is still a banquet waiting for him. Li Guolou thought well. When he got to Wu Defu's place, he would be put into solitary confinement directly. He didn't have to go out tomorrow.
Put him in confinement for three days.
Li Guolou looked at Wu Defu and Lu Haikong's expressions up and down, and said: "Master Wu, you are joking. Since you want to bluff people, don't shake your sleeves. Your expression has not changed, but the movements of your body have been deformed."
Wu Defu angrily scolded: "Nonsense! The commander's order will not be changed. This is an order from Master Bao."
Li Guolou sat down and said: "Master Wu said this, I feel more relieved. Mr. Bao has to give direct orders even for such small things, so I climbed on top of Master Wu."
Wu Defu said anxiously: "You, you, you, why are you drinking my tea? You are not hygienic."
Lu Haikong couldn't hold it in anymore and said with a smile: "Master Wu, I said I can't hide it from Xiao Lizi. His ability to bluff people is innate. The Manchus in Hubu have been making trouble for a long time but they still haven't seen through Xiao Lizi's background."
Wu Defu refused to admit defeat and said: "Don't worry about your size. I will lock you up at night. When I let you out depends on my mood."
Li Guolou put down his tea cup and sighed: "Anyway, I am a donkey. I can be commanded by you at will. I just ask you to be merciful and not to kill the donkey."
Wu Defu pointed at Li Guolou and shouted: "Be honest in front of Mr. Bao. Don't make any decisions on your own. You drew your gun at the Ministry of Household Affairs and he hasn't come back yet. The matter has already been brought to Mr. Bao. Now that's good.
Well, everyone thinks that Master Bao and Master Yu have reconciled, but look at what you did, our Criminal Department didn't even get a single tael of silver, so we took a stand on this kind of thing first."
Li Guolou said: "Master Wu, you have to look at the future. With Master Yu's help, everyone will have a good life in the future. You can't just look at the current benefits. How often does Xiao Li make a loss-making business?"
Wu Defu beat his chest and stamped his feet, and looked up to the sky and said: "Little Lizi, how come you can even eavesdrop on what Master Bao and I said? Do you have a good ear?"
Li Guolou glanced at him and said, "It would be great if I really have a good ear. I know how long you want to lock me up. Now I can only know how miserable I am by listening to how long you lock Liu Chengle."
Lu Haikong smiled and said: "Little Lizi, Brother Yao laughed so hard when he knew that you beat Liu Chengle, that bastard. I hope you beat Liu Chengle into an eunuch. That would be the first step towards success."
The three people started talking about intrigues in the room. Their voices were very soft, and they made it clear who they would target next. Wu Defu still planned the task of calculating the opponent. As for seizing the opportunity, it was just like Li Guolou's move this time.
, defeated his opponent with one move, and made Liu Chengle's reputation in the Ministry of Punishment tainted. It turned out that Li Guolou deliberately found trouble to make Liu Chengle angry, and all the conspiracies and tricks were traceable.
