Looking at the carriage that was gradually swallowed up by darkness, Rong Fei fell into deep thought.
What is Chen Xiusong hiding from? What are you afraid of?
Unfortunately, Rong Fei didn't know much about Chen Xiusong and couldn't make effective guesses.
After standing outside the door for a while, he was about to turn around and return to the courtyard, when the sound of horse hooves and wheels rolling on the ground could be heard again in the darkness.
Following the sound, many people were walking towards this side. They were thirteen agents from the Ji Xian Division and a dilapidated carriage.
When they got closer, Gu Fengxiao, who was driving, also saw Rong Fei standing at the door. He tightened the reins, stopped the carriage, jumped down, and told Rong Fei exactly what happened.
Rong Fei raised his right eyebrow unconsciously when he heard this. At the same time, an idea flashed in his mind, and an almost forgotten doubt already had an answer.
In recent days, when clearing the backlog of cases in Kyoto Prefecture, Rong Fei's biggest impression is the shockingly low case detection rate.
Most of the hundreds of cases he has handled are a piece of cake for Rong Fei. There were only a few cases that could barely be considered difficult, and that was because the case records provided by the Kyoto Prefecture were incomplete, requiring Rong Fei to send people to re-investigate the scene and interrogate the witnesses' confessions, thus delaying the best time to solve the case.
Rong Fei, the detective from Kyoto Prefecture, has met a few of them, and he is still capable. As long as he is willing to work hard, he will have no problem solving most cases.
Chen Xiusong was also a capable official known for his fairness and strictness.
This makes it even more strange. Why are there more and more cases in Kyoto Prefecture?
While listening to Gu Fengxiao's account of the process of arresting human traffickers, Rong Fei's mind suddenly opened up.
Perhaps it's not that Kyoto Prefecture doesn't have the ability to solve the case, but it just doesn't want to solve the case.
To be precise, I don't want to solve a certain type of case, but if all other cases have been solved, shelving all the cases of this type will inevitably arouse suspicion and prove the truth. Don't care.
The best way to hide a drop of water is to throw it into the sea.
What type of case makes Chen Xiusong so afraid that he would spend so much effort to hide it.
The answer is obvious. It is the serial missing persons case that the Ji Xian Division is trying its best to solve.
What secret is hidden behind the case of missing persons, so that the dignified governor of Kyoto is willing to break his forehead to perform a painful trick and does not want to be involved in it?
"Boss, do you want to interrogate now?"
Gu Fengxiao opened the car curtain and pointed at the two people tied up tightly in the car and asked.
"Go back to Xiansi."
Rong Fei gave an unexpected answer.
Now that Chen Xiusong has made it clear that he does not want to be involved in the missing persons case, there is no need for everyone in the Jixian Division to stay here and make people disgusted.
And if there are really some big forces involved behind the missing persons case, only by returning to the Anti-immortal Division can we better ensure that the progress of the case investigation is not leaked.
Although all the arrests were puzzled as to why Rong Fei chose to go far away from the near, after a period of time and experience of Rong Fei's abilities, the thirteen arrests were all convinced of Rong Fei, so no one raised any objections.
After returning to the Jixian Si Yamen, Gu Fengxiao dragged the two traffickers out of the carriage and prepared to send them to the torture room. Li Jun and the other detectives went to sort out the cases they investigated today.
Rong Fei, however, stopped the arrests and asked everyone to gather in his office room.
Everyone came to the room where Rong Fei worked in Rong Fei's second courtyard. Li Jun came in last, closed the door and stood guard here with his back against the door.
Gu Fengxiao knocked the two traffickers unconscious with his palm knife and then kept them aside.
"There is a situation that I think it is necessary to tell you in advance."
Rong Fei faced everyone, glanced at everyone's face and spoke.
"According to reliable information, the serial missing persons case we are currently investigating may involve some high-level forces in the court. If nothing goes wrong, the subsequent investigation will face great pressure, and we do not rule out even more extreme and dangerous situations. . Out of consideration for your personal safety, all members of the Immortal Division will be on vacation immediately. The time of the vacation is uncertain. I will notify you when you will return to work."
"Boss, what do you mean? In your mind, we are all rats who are greedy for life and afraid of death."
Li Jun quit after hearing this, blushing and roaring angrily.
Gu Fengxiao and the other four agents also had ugly expressions on their faces, staring at Rong Fei with angry eyes, waiting for his answer.
Hou Chunhua and the other detectives breathed a sigh of relief, secretly thinking that Rong Fei was really reasonable and considerate.
Facing Li Jun's questioning and the fiery looks given by Gu Fengxiao and others, Rong Fei waved his hand to let him finish his words first.
"For you, Ji Xian Division is just a place to make a living, and it is not a crime to risk your life for a dozen taels of salary per month. But if someone insists on staying, I will not object. Should you go home safely for a vacation, or stay here and risk your life? It's up to you to decide.
From now on until the decision is made before dawn, those who are still here after the rooster crows will have no chance to withdraw. Don't worry if you are on vacation. After the case is understood, you can still come back and continue on duty. I am not a petty person, and I will not give you little shoes to wear just because of this. All that needs to be said has been said, let’s go out and think about it. "
Rong Fei waved his hand to drive people away.
"Boss, I, Li Junsheng, am from the Ji Xian Division, and I am the ghost of the Ji Xian Division. I won't leave!"
Li Jun jumped out, banged his chest and roared.
"I told you to think about it carefully. If you don't understand people, get out!"
Rong Fei raised his foot and kicked Li Jun's butt before saying angrily.
"Get out, get out, I won't leave anyway."
Li Jun rubbed his butt and muttered, turned around and left angrily.
After all thirteen police officers went out, Rong Fei used his rain-calling power to create rainwater out of thin air and woke up a seemingly younger trafficker.
The man opened his eyes and looked around in confusion at first, then regained consciousness with a horrified expression and cried out in tears.
"Master Chao... Master Chao, please forgive me. I was just confused for a moment. I won't dare to do it again next time. Wuwuwu, I have an eighty-year-old mother and a three-year-old boy at home. If I don't have the little one to take care of me, my mother won't be able to take care of her." People support people, but children have no one to nurture them..."
Rong Fei pulled up a chair and sat down in front of the trafficker, crossing his legs and watching his performance quietly.
After crying for a long time, he got no response. The trafficker was surprised and couldn't go on anymore, so he couldn't help but look up at Rong Fei.
"No words."
Rong Fei sneered.
"Hey, Mr. Cha has a sharp eye, so don't make fun of Xiao De."
The trafficker said with a smile.
"what's your name?"
"When I return to Mr. Chai, Xiao De's eldest name is Sun Decai, and this is my subordinate brother's name is Zhou Hu."
"Do you know why you were arrested?"
"Hey, take pictures of flowers. But you know it well, Mr. Chao. This is Xiaode's first time doing this business. If money hadn't been a bit tight recently, I wouldn't do such a sinful thing even if I were killed."
Sun Decai wanted to swear to the sky, but found that his arms were still tightly tied, so he could only speak with a straight face and the most sincere tone.
"Haha, do you know why I just woke you up first?"
Rong Fei asked, pointing to Zhou Hu, who was still unconscious.
"Well... I'm so stupid. Please tell me."
Sun Decai said cautiously.
"There will be leniency for confessing, and there will be leniency for lying. This arrest will ask you some questions, and you only have one chance to answer each question. After you finish answering, I will knock you out, and then wake up your little brother. Ask him to answer the same question again.
If you two give the same answer to all the questions, it proves that you are not lying, and the arrest will naturally be lenient as appropriate. But if you two give different answers to the same question, it means that one person must be lying, or both of you are lying. Hum hum, Sun Decai, do you know what punishment is imposed for the crime of abduction according to the laws of this dynasty? "
"Hmm... I don't know, please tell me."
"The laws of this dynasty stipulate that abducting people is a heinous crime and should be punished."
"What is... punishment?"
Sun Decai had never heard of punishment, but he sensed from Rong Fei's expression and tone that this punishment was probably not simple, and he immediately panicked.
"Hehehehe, I don't know about punishment, but I have always heard of cutting into pieces. It means first cutting off the limbs of the heinous person, then cutting off the head, and then using a knife to cut off the skin and flesh leaving only the skeleton, and finally discard it. No one is allowed to collect corpses in the wilderness. Tsk, tsk, tsk, just thinking about it makes my hair stand on end and my whole body feels chilly."
Rong Fei described the execution process vividly while gesturing with his hands.
When Sun Decai heard this, his complexion was ashen and his body was shaking like chaff.
Seeing that the fire was almost done, Rong Fei was about to ask a question when he saw Sun Decai suddenly trembling violently, and a pool of yellow water spread out from under his crotch.
This guy was so frightened that he pissed himself.
Rong Fei moved his chair back in disgust and then asked.
"Have you thought about how to answer my question?"
"okokokok…"
Sun Decai wanted to say that he had thought about it, but after opening his mouth a few times, he found that his tongue was not working properly, so he could only nod wildly.
"How many people have you kidnapped in total?"
"one…"
Sun Decai subconsciously wanted to say something, but he quickly changed his mind after seeing Rong Fei's threatening gaze.
"One, two, three...seven, eight, eight in total."
"Where are the abducted people sent?"
"That's not necessarily true. Every once in a while, our boss will change the place where we pick up the goods. This time, the pick-up point is an abandoned house in a T-shaped alley. It is rumored that the house is haunted, and no one dares to approach it even during the day."
"How many others are like you two?"
"Our boss is not allowed to inquire at will, so I only know about the other three groups, but I don't know how many there are specifically."
"What's your boss's name? Where does he live?"
…
Half an hour later, Rong Fei knocked Sun Decai unconscious and woke up another trafficker, Zhou Hu. Following the same pattern, he used the method he just used to deal with Sun Decai on Zhou Hu unchanged.
"What is your name?"
"Zhou Hu."
"Do you know why I only woke you up?"
"..."
