"Alas! Old Qin and I have the same temperament and we are brothers, so we asked the county magistrate to take over the case. We must bring the evil villain to justice and avenge the deceased and Old Qin.
But the county magistrate believed the rumors in the market and thought it was a spirit that was harming people, so he wanted to find a monk or Taoist priest to get rid of the monster. His grandma is a bitch, and I have been a policeman for half my life, but I have never seen any real monsters in the world. He was obviously worried that he would lose his official prestige if he continued to toss, and he wanted to make a big issue a trivial matter, but he turned it into a trivial matter.
I'm not willing to give in. How could I let Lao Qin die in vain for no apparent reason? After arguing with the county magistrate, we finally managed to get three days, and today was the last day. "
There were tears in the corners of Liu Yong's eyes, and he lamented with a look of sorrow and helplessness.
"So Brother Liu, you have been squatting in the woods for the past two nights."
"Hey! How did you know that?"
Liu Yong asked strangely.
"There are cobwebs on your clothes, and the cobwebs are stained with dew. This means that you did not sleep at home last night, but stayed outside all night. There is a dead leaf in the corner of your hat, and the shape of the dead leaf is similar to that common in the city. The shapes of the leaves are not the same. There is a lot of black moist soil on your boots, and there are fresh grass clippings in the soil. But the roads from the county government here are all dry loess roads or stone roads.
There is eye mucus in the corners of your eyes, your eyeballs are bloodshot, your face is sleepy, your lips are chapped, and many other evidences. These are enough for me to deduce your whereabouts last night. "
Rong Fei replied calmly.
"Good boy, you really have a skill."
Liu Yong couldn't help but give a thumbs up and praised.
"Just having good hands is not enough. Being able to catch the real murderer is the real skill. Bring me the case you are carrying in your arms."
While talking, Rong Fei had already finished the bowl of noodle soup like a storm, picked up a braised egg and stuffed it into his mouth, then pointed at Liu Yong's chest and said.
"How do you know what I'm carrying in my arms is a case?"
Liu Yong reached into his arms and took out the case and handed it to Rong Fei, then asked curiously.
"There is a slight bulge in the front of the chest. Judging from the shape and thickness, it should be something like a book. Brother Liu is not a scholar and will not carry a collection of classics and history with him. Combined with your profession and your level of concern for the case, it is easy to guess .”
After explaining, Rong Fei stuffed another braised egg into his mouth, chewing it while looking through the case carefully.
Rong Fei seemed uncomfortable with the cases written in traditional Chinese characters, but fortunately he could still understand them.
After reading it once, Rong Fei closed the case, closed his eyes, and muttered something.
Liu Yong didn't know why, but he didn't dare to disturb him, so he could only wait patiently.
After a long time, Rong Fei opened his eyes and looked through the case file again.
After reading it this time, Rong Fei handed the case back to Liu Yong and said.
"You said before that you got the news from two government officials that Qin Zhi went to squat in the woods, right?"
"That's right."
Liu Yong nodded in response.
"Let's arrest those two government officials and interrogate them. Even if they were not the ones responsible for the murder of Inspector Qin, they are definitely not related."
"Huh? Why is that?"
"The case book didn't mention whether the unique black clay in the woods was stuck to the soles of Agent Qin's shoes when his body was found, right?"
"Yeah, is there any problem?"
Liu Yong was already familiar with the contents of the case. After thinking about it, he found that there was indeed no record.
"You also saw the body at the scene, but do you still remember whether the soles of Agent Qin's shoes were stained with mud?"
Rong Fei asked.
"Um…"
Hearing this, Liu Yong frowned and recalled the scene three days ago, and after a while he answered affirmatively.
"No, before Wu Zuo arrived, I personally inspected Lao Qin's body and the surrounding traces. There's no way I wouldn't have noticed something so conspicuous."
"That's it."
"What is it?"
"What does it mean that the soles of the shoes are not stained with black mud?"
"Explain...explain...what do you mean? Can you please stop being so secretive and say what you have to say?"
Liu Yong urged, scratching his ears and cheeks anxiously.
"It means that Agent Qin never went to the woods at all. Instead, after the gangsters killed Agent Qin, they carried the body into the woods."
"Oh oh oh, I understand, that's why the soles of Lao Qin's shoes didn't stick to the mud in the woods."
Liu Yong patted his head and suddenly realized. But then a look of confusion appeared on his face.
"But why do you conclude that Lao Qin's death was caused by his two government officials?"
"Since Captain Qin didn't go to that forest that night, how did the two government officials know about Captain Qin's whereabouts?"
Rong Fei replied.
Although Liu Yong was rough-looking, he was extremely alert. After hearing Rong Fei's explanation, his eyes just rolled in his sockets, and he instantly understood the cause and effect.
His palm as big as a cattail leaf slammed on the table, stood up and said angrily.
"Two little bastards, let's see if I don't skin them today!"
After saying that, he took out a handful of copper coins and slapped them on the table, turned around and was about to leave, but was stopped by Rong Fei.
"Brother Liu, don't leave in a hurry. Listen to what I have to say."
Liu Yong was extremely convinced of Rong Fei at this time, so although he was a little impatient, he sat down and listened attentively.
"Brother Liu, how are you going to interrogate those two people?"
Rong Fei asked.
"The old rule is, give it a beating first, and if you are still stubborn, use the stick, whip, and soldering iron."
Liu Yong bit his back molars and replied with murderous intent.
"inappropriate."
Rong Fei shook his head.
"There's nothing wrong with that. I've always done this before. Don't worry, even a copper skin and an iron bone can't withstand the eighteen kinds of torture instruments in the Yamen."
"Brother Liu, don't be anxious. Let this kid finish his story first. We just suspect that they are related to the death of Inspector Qin, but there is no proof. After all, those two are servants of the Yamen, and they can be regarded as colleagues with you. However, their identities are very different from those of the previous criminals. If they really gritted their teeth and withstood the torture and refused to admit to killing Agent Qin, how would you deal with yourself then? Other agents in the Yamen , what will the government officials think of you?"
"this…"
Liu Yong felt a sudden shock in his heart when he heard this. If it was true as Rong Fei said, he was afraid that he would probably be ostracized by all his colleagues, or even be stripped of his official uniform.
"I have a plan to make those two people confess."
Rong Fei said mysteriously.
"Oh, tell me quickly."
Liu Yong quickly bowed his head and listened to his ears.
"Brother Liu only needs to find three connected rooms, imprison the two people in the rooms on both sides, and then find a trustworthy person to pretend to torture and interrogate in the middle room. The sounds of torture and screams must be real. Believable. I guessed that the execution time was almost here, so I asked someone to shout, "I'll attack you, I'll attack you all."
Then, interrogate the two people separately. There is no need to say more, just say that all your accomplices have been recruited, and you are the mastermind behind the murder of Agent Qin. In order to alleviate their crimes, these two people will definitely confess honestly. "
Liu Yong's frown gradually relaxed, and then he stared at Rong Fei fiercely.
Rong Fei didn't panic and looked at him without any sign of weakness.
"You have such an exquisite mind at such a young age. If you do evil in the future, you will definitely become the most evil person in the world, and the world will suffer."
"Brother Liu hasn't married yet. Why don't you accept me as your disciple? With you as an upright police officer to discipline me, I won't have the chance to go astray. Not only can I help you solve the case, but when you get old, you can also become a disciple." Half of my son will be taken care of until his death."
"Could this be your plan a long time ago? The reason why you chose me from among so many people in the yamen is because you saw that I am a bachelor."
"Hehe, Brother Liu is joking."
"If you're not full, just go to the stall owner to eat. If you're full, go to the hospital and wait for me."
Liu Yong glanced at Rong Fei with complicated eyes, left in a hurry after leaving a few words.
After Liu Yong walked away, Rong Fei picked up the copper coins on the table to pay the bill, and then went to the medical clinic opposite.
Rong Fei walked into the hospital, and the old doctor just opened the door curtain and came out of the back room.
"Husband, my sister..."
Snapped!
Rong Fei rushed up to ask the little girl how she was doing, but before he could finish his words, the old doctor raised his hand and slapped him hard.
"Do you know why I hit you?"
The old man bent down to Rong Fei and said with a stern voice.
The old man's attack was so severe that Rong Fei's eyes were filled with stars and his head was buzzing. But even so, Rong Fei still forced his mind to calm down, and after thinking for a moment, he lowered his head and admitted his mistake.
"You failed to fulfill your duty as a brother and take good care of your sister. My father-in-law, you did the right thing. Well done. I realize my mistake."
"Humph, you still have some conscience. Your sister's fever has gone away, and she will recover in a day or two. But her hands... ugh!"
Thinking of the little girl's teeth-marked, rotten and smelly hands, the old man became furious and raised his hand to slap the bastard in front of him again.
But when I think about it again, this kid is just a boy in his early ten years, I can't bear it anymore.
"Where are your parents? Judging by their attire, your brother and sister could be beggars in the city, but I have no impression of them."
After taking a few breaths to calm down, the old man asked coldly.
Rong Fei also concealed it and told the story of his escape.
After hearing this, the old man stared at Rong Fei in disbelief for a long time, then took two steps back, clasped his arms in front of him, and bowed to Rong Fei.
"My father-in-law, what are you doing!"
Rong Fei was startled and quickly ducked aside.
"It is benevolent to risk one's life to save an orphan even though one cannot protect oneself. It is even more magnanimous to not make any judgment in the face of groundless accusations. This young man is kind and generous, rarely seen in the world. Please accept my respect."
"My father-in-law, you are too serious. I really can't bear it. Please get up quickly."
Rong Fei stepped forward and wanted to help Lao Langzhong up, but Lao Langzhong was very stubborn.
"You can get up if you want me, but boy, you have to agree to one of my conditions."
"My father-in-law said it doesn't matter. I will do my best to my ability."
"Since you and the girl behind you have nowhere to go, why not join the old man to learn medical skills. The old man lost his wife in his early years, has no children, and is alone. He is worried that no one can inherit his medical skills. How can you and I meet now? It’s not just God’s will.”
"this…"
Rong Fei was in trouble when he heard this.
Logically speaking, it is a great blessing when someone is kind enough to take you in when you are desperate. But practicing medicine in a hospital is contrary to Rong Fei's plan.
The tragic scene of corpses littering the fields in Dunzhou is still vivid in my mind.
The disaster star has come to the world, and the cries of the devastated creatures are still roaring in the ears.
Although others didn't know it, Rongfei knew in his heart that the so-called disaster star was just a crashing and burning spaceship.
If there is no disaster star, where does the disaster come from?
Rong Fei had already made up his mind to find out the truth about the Dunzhou disaster, otherwise countless innocent souls in the dream would not let go, and his own conscience would never be at ease.
If you want to investigate a case, naturally it is most convenient to have a career as a Yamen police officer.
Moreover, I originally wrote suspense novels and was good at reasoning, so it was natural for me to become a detective.
Therefore, after entering Fencheng, you will go to the county government office to stay.
After thinking about it for a moment, Rong Fei made a decision in his mind.
But when he looked up, he saw the expectant look on the old doctor's face, but he couldn't bear to refuse.
"Hahaha, it's the old man who's being rude. There's no need to reply now. You can just give him the right words after you think about it clearly."
After all, the old doctor was showing off his age, so the embarrassment on Rong Fei's face could not be seen. So I didn't rush him, I used words to stabilize him first, and then he slowly figured it out.
The two little ones must have nowhere to go. As long as they are kept in the hospital for a period of time, and slowly penetrate and influence, there will always be a chance to be accepted into the sect.
The little girl received medical treatment and fell asleep in the back room. The old doctor comforted Rong Fei, boiled water and made a pot of tea for him to sit down and drink, while he walked out of the hospital.
Not long after, the old doctor returned to the hospital, handed a package to Rong Fei, and said with a smile.
"There is a stove and a well in the backyard. Go and boil some water, take a bath, and then change into these clothes. These rags are not worthy of you, kid."
"Old man, how can this be done?"
Rong Fei quickly stood up and wanted to refuse, but was kicked in the butt by the old man, and he involuntarily threw himself towards the door leading to the backyard.
"My husband, don't ask for your mother-in-law. A suit of clothes is worth a few copper coins, so hurry up and go. Oh, by the way, there is another set for your girl."
After Rong Fei took a shower and put on clean clothes and returned to the front hall, the old doctor couldn't help but praised him with his eyes shining again.
"What a handsome and handsome boy."
Then he expressed pity again.
"My body is just a little thin. It must have been damaged by hunger, thirst, and fatigue. I don't know if I can make up for it in the future."
The old and the young were sitting in the hospital chatting. At noon, the old man went to the back room to check on the little girl.
As soon as the old doctor left, Liu Yong rushed in.
He sat down where the old man had been, picked up the teapot on the table, and regardless of whether it was hot or cold, he opened the lid and put it to his mouth and drank it down.
"Hahaha, so refreshing!"
Putting down the teapot, Liu Yong wiped a handful of water stains on his beard and roared happily.
