"The Water Ghost Murder Case?"
"Is that a case we can solve?"
"In the past, cases involving demons, monsters, and monks were handled personally by the county magistrate, county magistrate, and county lieutenant. Why were they handed over to our police squad this time?"
"Mr. Xu, this case is untouchable. It's better to ask Mr. Xu to mediate and see if it can be dismissed."
"This is a water ghost murder case. We are all ordinary people. How can we solve it?"
"The former head catcher Wang Minghu disappeared while investigating this case."
"Unless the Confucian and Taoist master who saved Master Xu once takes action again."
"It's really not the alarmist talk of young people. This case is really untouchable, Mr. Xu."
"Master Xu?"
Xu Taiping glanced across.
Very satisfied with the response of the police officers.
These agents now not only distinguish the big and small kings.
I no longer watch the excitement or even gloat like I did in the morning.
It's not in vain that I put so much effort into dealing with them.
hey-hey.
But he had a troubled look on his face, so he acted with difficulty: "Of course I know that this water ghost murder case is untouchable.
“But Master Xu personally sent the dossier, what does that mean?
"It means this matter is non-negotiable.
"If you continue to push the blame, Master Xu will lose his face, and it will make the county magistrate even more angry."
Speaking of which.
A slap on the table.
A look of determination appears on his face.
"Master Xu is right, this is a test and an opportunity.
“As long as the case is solved, there are many benefits.
"Brothers, the time has come to prove our capabilities to the county magistrate and Master Xu.
"The murder case of the water ghost must be solved by this arrester.
"If it cannot be broken, I will shoulder the corresponding responsibility.
"If it can be broken, it is the credit of the entire police squad.
"At that time, I will personally ask the county magistrate for credit for you!"
These words came out.
The detectives were instantly full of energy.
I just feel that it is not very happy to work with such a boss.
I don’t feel dangerous anymore.
Echoed continuously.
"I swear to live and die with Master Xu."
"Don't worry, Mr. Xu. The water ghost is coming. Even if the little one dies, he will die in front of Mr. Xu."
"With me, Wang Dashan, even a water ghost can't even think of hurting Mr. Xu."
"That's right, with Mr. Xu leading us, why are we afraid of water ghosts?"
"There are so many of us, each of us can drown that water ghost with just a spit of spit."
"..."
Xu Taiping first tried to make things difficult to get closer to the other detectives.
Also determined to solve the case, you bear the risks at your own risk and share the profits.
With just a few words, the mood of all the detectives was aroused.
What is speech skills?
That's it.
If the words are used well, even those college students, masters and doctors who claim to be elites will be led by the nose.
What's more, this group of low-level servants with no cultural knowledge.
certainly.
It can also be understood as boosting morale.
Xu Taiping boosted morale.
View the dossier.
Then assign tasks.
The Water Ghost Murder Case.
It was a murder that happened two months ago.
Time: The twenty-seventh year of Xuanning, February 14th, and the third quarter of Xushi.
Location: Moat at the south gate of Jianyang City.
Deceased: Wang Wu, born in Jianyang, lived in Jiqingfang, south of the city, married.
Eyewitnesses: Zhao Sanlang, a native of Jianyang, Wang Wufa's son and neighbor. He has a very good relationship and is also the reporter.
The murderer: a water ghost in the moat, with a green face and fangs, a bald head, and green hair all over his body.
Tools used to commit the crime: double claws, dragging the deceased under the water and drowning him, leaving blue-black ghost claw marks on both wrists of the deceased.
The case spread and caused a great deal of panic.
To this day, residents of Jianyang City do not dare to approach the moat.
For fear of being dragged into the water by the water ghost.
Xu Taiping finished reading the dossier.
I knew it immediately.
He led Wu Liuyi, Zhou Dafu and three detectives and went straight to Zhao Sanlang's house.
Come in.
Seeing Zhao Sanlang and his wife, I was even more convinced of my reasoning.
Immediately he shouted loudly: "Zhao Sanlang, Zhao Liu, your husband and wife's murder of Wang Wu has been detected by this arrest. Capture them quickly and tell the truth, otherwise, you will be severely punished!"
The expression of Zhao Sanlang's wife Zhao Liu changed immediately.
However, Zhao Sanlang frowned and shouted: "Mr. Xu, you can't make false accusations against good people. If rumors spread without evidence, the villain will lose his dignity."
Xu Taiping sneered: "Without any evidence? Without any evidence, will this arrest come to you?"
The words fell.
Wave.
He shouted: "Tie him up, take him to the county government office, and ask the county magistrate to review him."
Wu Liuyi and several other policemen rushed forward like wolves and tigers.
Arrest Zhao Sanlang and his wife Zhao Liushi.
next door.
There were also policemen who took away Wang Wu's wife, Wang Shi, and Wang Wu's parents.
The magistrate's study.
Xu Qing knocked on the door and entered.
He whispered: "My boss, Xu Taiping claims to have solved the water ghost murder case. Please ask my boss to come forward to judge."
Zhou Yucheng raised his head suddenly: "Is it broken?"
"That's what Xu Taiping said."
"It's not even half an hour, how did he break it?"
"I don't know, I just look at Xu Taiping's expression, and it doesn't look like he's faking it."
Zhou Yucheng sneered: "This case is neither difficult nor simple. Even I can't guarantee that it will be solved within half an hour, let alone a handyman like him."
"Then what does the boss mean——"
"Forget it, I'm here to help him find out the truth," Zhou Yucheng said with waning interest: "It seems that Xu Taiping is only well-versed in the ways of the world, but he knows nothing about practical matters. It is difficult for him to become a great person."
Xu Qing also sighed: "Indeed, as a county official like the arrester, you must not only understand human feelings, but also be able to do practical things. Only in this way can you survive for a long time. Xu Taiping is so frivolous and careless in practice, it is difficult to last long."
County government hall.
The government officials were arranged on both sides.
Holding water and fire sticks, they hit the ground lightly.
At the same time, he shouted "mighty".
The sound is dull.
Full of oppression.
The faces of the parties involved, Zhao Sanlang and his wife, Wang Wu's wife, and Wang Wu's parents, all changed.
The Yamen opens to the south, so don't come in if you have a reason or money.
For ordinary people in the feudal era, the yamen was like a tiger's mouth. Even if they were the victims, they would not dare to enter easily.
It is normal for the yamen to eat the plaintiff and eat the defendant.
In some local yamen, regardless of whether the plaintiff or defendant is promoted to court, they must first give him a beating with a killing stick.
Xu Taiping directly started to "observe everything clearly".
This magical power works on himself.
There were no visions.
But his eyes and insight instantly rose to a new level.
At a glance.
The eyes and expressions of Zhao Sanlang and his wife came into view directly and clearly.
And analyze it in your mind.
At a glance, he could figure out the general mentality and emotions of Zhao Sanlang and his wife.
nervous.
The couple was very nervous.
Zhao Liu's nervousness can be seen at a glance.
Zhao Sanlang's nervousness is hidden under the surface of calmness, but his eyes, small movements and other micro-expressions betray him.
Micro-expression is a science.
Xu Taiping doesn't understand criminal investigation.
But I have read hundreds of episodes of elementary school students solving crimes, a complete series of Sherlock Holmes, and many mystery novels.
Be more proficient in human nature and the human heart.
There was no secret in this water ghost murder case in his eyes, and he knew what was going on at a glance.
According to the level of criminal investigation in this era, just go to jail directly.
Because he was convinced that Zhao Sanlang and his wife were the murderers.
Under severe punishment, there is no need to worry or take action.
but.
How can that show my Xu Taiping's methods?
The county magistrate doesn't know what evil thoughts he is harboring.
I must show some real skills to improve my value in the eyes of the county magistrate.
This is the biggest sorrow of being a grassroots official. The resources and information he has are limited, and he can only improve his own utilization value to gain a way forward.
Made.
So frustrating.
Fortunately, this is a fantasy world.
If you work hard.
Sooner or later, I, Xu Taiping, will no longer suffer this injustice.
Xu Taiping observed Zhao Sanlang and his wife.
While thinking about words.
A quarter of an hour later.
County Magistrate Zhou Yucheng walked out slowly.
Wearing a black gauze hat, a blue collared shirt, and a belt with a plain silver buckle around his waist, he sat down steadily.
Master Xu Qing followed him.
Everyone saluted quickly.
He shouted: "Welcome to Mr. Qingtian."
The ceremony is over.
Zhou Yucheng grabbed the gavel and slammed it on the table.
"Snapped--"
There was a crisp sound.
Everyone was in awe.
Even Xu Taiping was shocked.
Zhou Yucheng asked expressionlessly: "Xu Taiping, have you really solved the case and captured the murderer?"
Xu Taiping quickly bowed: "Sir, my subordinates have captured the murderer of the water ghost murder case on February 14th."
"Is there any evidence?"
"No."
"Where's the murder weapon?"
"There was no search."
Zhou Yucheng was slightly angry: "There is no evidence and no murder weapon has been found. How can we talk about investigation?"
Xu Taiping remained calm: "Sir, this case is simple. I only need a few words to let the murderer explain himself."
Zhou Yucheng narrowed his eyes.
Keep an eye on Xu Taiping.
After a few breaths, he nodded almost imperceptibly: "That's right!"
