"Sir, is it really possible to send such a scoundrel with no experience or strength to capture the boss?"
After Zhang Ergou took the order and left, Han Zhi couldn't help but stepped forward with some doubts and asked.
Li Chuan turned around and looked at him.
"Don't underestimate this person. Since he can trick those wealthy businessmen and even our spies to death, it means that he knows something about weird things and all kinds of Jianghu news. Otherwise, he would never be able to do it. at this point.
As for the strange power, is there still a shortage of available subordinates in the Demon Suppression Division?
Assigning some new aliens to him as his weapons and tools, as long as they can be used reasonably, it is equivalent to him controlling those powers himself. "
Li Fan spoke from experience, because in the strange realm of Wangchuan City, he gave Zhou Gui the exotic gem heart that he could not use for the time being, in exchange for his ability and loyalty.
If this were not the case, the weird puzzle piece on my body was out of balance at that time, and I was not used to this kind of thing. Forcibly controlling it would only be harmful, not beneficial.
Therefore, for those who give orders, controlling Weirdness personally may not necessarily be a good choice.
What they rely more on is their brains and their ability to integrate information.
Of course, except for those top-notch rare treasures and unsolvable abilities, those who can ignore any strategies and brains are really too dangerous.
"Don't worry, I can't really leave all this matter to him. After all, it's just a test.
Rather than hoping for him to atone for his sins, it is better to see what abilities he has and what he can achieve..."
…
"What should we do? If we fail to complete this task, it will be fatal."
On the other side, Zhang Ergou, who was assigned a task, had a sad face.
Although he had never been in officialdom, he understood that Li Ao was testing himself.
The difference is that when ordinary superiors test the people below them, it is at best a matter of promotion and reward.
But on his side, it could be fatal.
Investigating weird cases is easy to say, but it is really not easy to find the true origin of those "human sheep" while running around like headless flies in the city's 108 squares.
】
Although Li Fan has allocated a group of people to drive him, he understands that he is a low-key person and has little prestige for the time being, and it is impossible to use them as livestock.
The old men started to feel tired after only half a day of investigation, and then went to various places to take a rest.
Only with enough majesty and sufficient benefits can they actively use their lives and use one manpower as several.
This kind of thing, to put it bluntly, is the use of manpower and material resources, which is equivalent to the capital of doing business.
I don’t even have much capital, how can I make a deal?
"I have no choice but to work too hard. It's his grandma's fault. What the hell is this!"
The first thing Zhang Ergou considered was the file left by the Demon-Suppressing Division.
He bit the bullet and used Li Fan's orders to obtain those things. Then he hired several scribes to sort them out and think about them carefully.
It turned out that this road was not easy.
Because if it was so easy to find, the previous Demon Suppressors would have already used this clue to trace it.
There may be some secrets hidden in those vast and complicated records, but it is impossible to sort them all out in a short time.
He began to check the merchants in the West Market who had received "human sheep".
As a result, each of those merchants kept secrets, and it took a lot of effort to explain the general situation, but most of them were no different from the files.
They just explained that the person who sold the "human sheep" to them was an old couple.
The old couple seemed to have opened a teahouse outside the city, specifically for passing businessmen to stop and drink tea.
This is also the reason why some people are jealous of them and report secretly.
Zhang Ergou was so angry that he blackmailed all the merchants, not only to vent his anger, but also to accumulate money for himself.
Sure enough, there must be a brave man under a heavy reward. In just two or three days, his subordinates began to get intimate with him.
They suddenly discovered that this leader who had landed inexplicably seemed quite generous.
He is willing to spend money, which is his advantage, and it is also the reason why he was able to get treacherous information in both black and white before.
"Master Zhang, judging from the current situation, that old couple is definitely the most suspicious object. They made a lot of silver from it. It is possible that the owner of the exotic treasure left it to them intentionally.
Otherwise, start the investigation from their relationship? "
An official reminded Zhang Ergou.
"Didn't someone check it before and get no result?"
Zhang Ergou said a little irritably, the other people in the Demon Suppressing Division are not just for a living.
"By the way, where are the old couple now?"
"They were imprisoned after the murder, but their confessions were that they didn't know anything about it. I don't know if Lao Hu painted it or was just pretending to be stupid. They didn't know anything about it."
"Humph, there must be something to hide!"
Zhang Ergou rolled his eyes.
"Come on, let's interrogate that old couple."
Not long after, Zhang Ergou returned to the place where he had been imprisoned in the Demon Suppression Division's prison.
Because the old couple was very likely to have something to do with the stranger who held the exotic treasure, and they could not be detained in a place like the Chang'an County Government Office. Instead, they were moved here and kept under close guard.
Until now, it has not been robbed or encountered any accidents.
When Zhang Ergou discovered them, he found that the old couple were being held in different cells, and they were both scarred.
Seeing this scene, he couldn't help but feel numb.
This means that any method he has thought of has been used by the Demon Suppressor before.
Torture?
Who doesn’t know this simple method?
"However, it is absolutely impossible for ordinary people to have such strong bones. This couple must be hiding something, and the secret they want to hide is either closely related to their own interests, or the closest person around them, maybe their children or something like that. ."
Zhang Ergou frowned and took it to heart.
"Come here, set up the pot for me!"
Everyone was a little confused about what he meant, but they quickly followed it.
In just a moment, the big pot was set up and the hot water was boiling in the center of the courtyard, gushing out.
Zhang Ergou shook off his official authority, sat down on a small wooden bench, and ordered the old couple to be summoned out of the cell respectively. Without saying a word, he scolded them with a slap in the face.
"You old fellows, you are fighting against the government, you have no laws, and you are using sorcery to kill passers-by, turning them into sheep and humans!
I will do justice to God today and cook you alive!
But it's too cheap for you to kill two of them at once. Come on, chop off this old man's hand first, cook it and feed it to the witch! "
As soon as these words came out, not to mention the expressions of the old couple changed, even the other officials couldn't help showing expressions of emotion.
Two dogs? Are you serious?
This is really a vicious dog with no bottom line!
"You idiot, just kill if you want. How can you be considered a hero by torturing people in this way? I'm not afraid to tell you that the person you are looking for has already gone away. Even if you kill us, you won't get a single word."
The old man knew that he might not be able to escape this disaster, so he started to curse angrily.
"Oh? From the way you talk, it's impossible to be an ordinary citizen. Could it be that you are a demon from the Demon Cult?"
This point has already been mentioned by the scribes in the transcript. Zhang Ergou knows how to learn and sell now.
As expected, the old man's complexion changed slightly.
