After a night, the sky brightened.
In the forbidden room outside the county government cell, a rough man with stubble was holding a wine glass in one hand and peanuts in a chopstick sandwich with the other.
"Butou, are you so interested in drinking so early in the morning?"
A tall young man wearing a headhunter's clothes walked in.
"So it's Capt. Zhao, come and have a drink?" The rough man turned around and said with a grin.
"No, we have to arrest people in the morning."
The visitor was none other than Zhao Lin. He walked to the table and sat down. He picked up the wine flask and poured a glass. He said, "I heard that Tu Tou is proficient in one hundred and eight kinds of torture. Today I have to interrogate a prisoner outside. I don't know." Are you free to help?"
The rough guy is the cell leader in the prison. His real name is Tu Wuyan, and he is nicknamed Guijianchou. He is good at various methods of torture and torture.
Zhao Lin's plan was to arrest the shopkeeper first and force him to get out of the tunnel. In order to prevent the shopkeeper from not confessing and wasting time, he came to find this "professional".
"really?"
Tu Wuyan's eyes lit up and he rubbed his hands together like flies. "Yes, that's great! When are you leaving?"
Seeing his impatient look, Zhao Lin smiled and said, "About half an hour."
Tu Wuyan stood up with a roar, almost knocking over the table. He turned around and pulled out a wooden box from under the bed, opening it to check his "tools".
Zhao Lin took a glance and saw dozens of strange torture instruments such as finger clamps, bone-piercing nails, and flesh-grinding stones placed in the wooden box.
"What a talent!"
Zhao Lin knew that he had found the right person, so he stood up and cupped his hands and said: "Butou, it's settled, I'll see you at the Yamen gate later."
"Don't worry, I'll be there!" Tu Wuyan said without looking back.
Zhao Lin left the forbidden room and returned to the police room.
There were twenty or thirty people sitting in the police room. Except for Sun Zhang, all the policemen from Dongcheng were present.
These people were joking and chatting, but when they saw Zhao Lin coming in, they immediately became quiet.
"Captain Zhao, when are you going to arrest us? We waited here all day in vain yesterday."
"Yeah, Capt. Zhao won't play tricks on us, right?"
Shi Dahai and Jin Liqun complained.
Zhao Lin glanced at everyone and said slowly: "Shi Baotou, Jin Baotou, brothers, I have found out where the murderer is hiding, let's go now!"
Shi Dahai and Jin Liqun were both startled. The former asked: "Captain Zhao, where is the murderer now and what is his cultivation level?"
Zhao Lin did not hide anything and said: "The murderer is at Yunlai Inn, a martial artist in Qi Realm."
"Aura?"
Shi Dahai's expression changed, "We are all in the power realm, so I'm afraid it won't be easy to get it? Why don't we let Capt. Sun..."
"Don't mention Captain Sun!"
Zhao Lin interrupted him coldly, "There is only one murderer. What do we have to be afraid of with so many of us? Now go to the weapons library and bring all your armor and crossbows. He won't be able to escape even if he has three heads and six arms."
After saying that, he stopped paying attention to his argument, turned around and walked out of the police room.
When police officers face ordinary people, force is enough to suppress them, but if they face warriors, especially those with high cultivation, they must rely on numbers and equipment to fill the gap in strength.
There are strong bows, crossbows, sophisticated armors, and various long weapons in the arsenal. When multiple people use them together, even blood warriors would not dare to attack them directly.
Zhao Lin led a group of detectives to the weapon library and showed their badges to the gatekeepers.
"Twenty-eight suits of armor, seven bows, fifteen hard crossbows, twenty triangular forks, twenty kilograms of poisonous fodder..."
Zhao Lin directed everyone to move the equipment outside, while the officials took notes.
He chose a large-sized walking armor for himself, which weighed about fifty kilograms. It didn't feel strenuous to wear it on his body, but it was more difficult to wear it.
By the time everyone had finished dressing, nearly half an hour had passed.
Zhao Lin's eyes flashed across everyone's faces. Although the detectives were wearing strong armor and looked very powerful, their morale was not very high.
The reason is not difficult to understand. Most of the police officers came from martial arts schools. They were old and had no pursuit in martial arts, and they did not want to go out to fight and kill, so they entered the Yamen to find a stable job.
You can earn a few taels of silver a month as a fast-moving police officer. It is okay to catch ordinary people, but it is absolutely impossible to fight against martial arts masters.
"Bros!"
Zhao Lin decided to mobilize them before departure, "We are facing a ruthless madman this time. Needless to say, it is dangerous, but..."
"Are we retreating because of the danger? The people in Dongcheng are always on tenterhooks and are scared to death even when they go out. As police officers, shouldn't we help the people solve their problems?"
"Whose family doesn't have a daughter? What if one of their relatives is murdered one day?"
He spoke impassionedly, but the detectives were indifferent and looked numb.
"These people are so ignorant..."
Zhao Lin shook his head secretly and had no choice but to change his strategy and took out two fifty-tael silver notes and several ingots of official silver from under his clothes.
"As long as the criminal is caught, regardless of whether there is a reward from the county, the money will be given to the brothers."
Since he lacks prestige and popularity, he can only use money to clear the way.
Last time I killed the ruthless Liang Anhua, I got two hundred taels of silver. Recently, my expenses have been relatively large, and I still have a hundred or dozens of taels left, so I basically spent all of it.
All the arresters looked at each other, they had never seen a catcher who paid for his own money to catch a prisoner.
An older police officer asked: "Captain Zhao, are you serious about what you said?"
Zhao Lin didn't waste any time and handed the money directly to Shi Dahai, "Please keep it safe for me, Mr. Shi, and I will share it with everyone after the mission is completed. Do you believe me now?"
"But the ugly talk is ahead. Whoever dares to run away from the battlefield will not be able to work hard and will not get a single point!"
"Yes!" the detectives responded in unison, finally feeling a little angry.
"Captain Zhao, the carriage is ready." He Qingquan came over and said.
"good!"
Zhao Lin divided the agents into three teams, with Shi Dahai and Jin Liqun each leading one team. It turned out that Sun Zhang's men were under his control.
Everyone walked out of the county government office and boarded the three carriages in front of the government office.
This was Zhao Lin's first time leading a team, so he was a little nervous. He tried to organize his thoughts and went through what to do first and what to do next.
"Are you going to arrest someone?"
The horse-drawn carriage speeds through the streets, attracting the attention of pedestrians.
"The detectives are all wearing armor. I'm afraid they may encounter troublesome people." Someone next to him said.
In a moment, the carriage arrived at the door of Yunlai Inn.
The detectives came down from the car one after another, carrying bows, crossbows and triangular forks.
"Captain Shi and Captor Jin, help guard the inn and not let anyone in or out. The rest of them will follow me in to arrest people!"
Zhao Lin gave an order and led people into the inn.
Although Shi Dahai and Jin Liqun were not convinced that Zhao Lin was riding on them, they also knew the stakes and ordered the police to surround the inn.
"Master, what are you doing..."
It was still early, and the night watchman was awakened by the noise. When he saw Zhao Lin and others rushing in fully armed, he was so frightened that he could not speak clearly.
"The yamen is on errands, and those who don't care should stay away!"
Zhao Lin shouted, then turned to He Qingquan and said: "Three guys, one feeds the horses, two run errands, and there are four people in the kitchen... Don't let any of them run away."
He was not sure whether the shopkeeper had any accomplices in the inn, so he simply arrested them all and rushed into the lounge behind the counter with a few detectives.
