Sure enough.
Xu Taiping breathed a sigh of relief and had the answer in his heart.
Assumption is correct.
Make bold assumptions and verify carefully.
In this era of criminal investigation, there are not so many rules. As long as there is reasonable suspicion, people can be arrested and executed.
With a confession, the case can be closed.
A chain of evidence is the best.
It’s okay if you don’t have it.
Just highlight a simple and crude one.
certainly.
Miss Piaopiao's words cannot be used as evidence.
But it can support his hypothesis.
He was even more convinced that the murderer was Wang Yong, the county military commander.
Miss Piaopiao and Shui Qingqing are both girls from Qunfang House. Even if they don't have feelings for each other, they still have the mentality of being sad when a rabbit dies and a fox hurts its own kind, so they won't lie about this matter.
What's more, his previous actions paved the way for this sentence.
Moreover, he used extremely clever words.
He didn’t ask Wang Yong if he was the murderer.
He didn't ask who Shui Qingqing was killed.
Instead, assume that Wang Yong is the murderer and directly ask why Wang Yong can get away with it.
If in Miss Piaopiao's mind, Wang Yong is either a murderer or an ordinary guest, her first reaction after hearing this is confusion.
On the contrary, as long as Miss Piao Piao believes that Wang Yong is also the murderer, no matter how she answers, it can support the hypothesis that "Wang Yong is the murderer".
Unless, Piao Piao girl can still maintain extremely fast reactions and mislead him by giving wrong answers even when she is drunk and tortured to the point of death.
Well, obviously, no unless.
In this world, most of the so-called unsolved cases are actually very simple. The only difficulty lies in the execution.
If you know who the murderer is but don't carry out the crime, it will become an unsolved case.
but.
This case is indeed difficult to handle.
Behind Wang Yong stood the county captain Yang Jintang.
The county captain is the third in command, and his status is even lower than that of the county magistrate, but his actual power is no less than that of the county magistrate, because the county captain has soldiers in his hands, ranging from five hundred to three to five thousand county soldiers.
The county soldiers are also the only army under local control and are responsible for public security, suppressing bandits, guarding the city, and eliminating demons within their jurisdiction.
The local garrison at or above the county level was under the direct jurisdiction of the imperial court, and the local government had no authority to command.
Therefore, the county captain may not seem to be of high rank, but his actual status and influence are very high.
Many county lieutenants are even more influential than local county magistrates.
so.
If Yang Jintang really wants to intervene, this case will be really difficult to handle.
Xu Taiping frowned secretly.
How can we bypass Yang Jintang and arrest Wang Yong and bring him to justice?
Or, find a way to get Yang Jintang to give up Wang Yong?
Xu Taiping thought hard about countermeasures.
But Miss Piaopiao cried anxiously: "Master Xu, you, you tricked me..."
Xu Taiping looked at the fluttering girl with pear blossoms and rain.
Sigh.
Gently wipe the tears from the girl's face.
Comforting in a soft voice: "Don't be afraid, I am here to seek justice for your sisters."
"Is there any justice in this world?"
"As long as I am here, there will be justice."
"Mr. Xu, you are just an insignificant little catcher. Although you have the reputation of being a great catcher, you are ultimately without quality or rank and have no backing. How can you be a match for those big men? What's more, Yang Jintang has eight hundred county soldiers in his hands. Even the county magistrate wouldn’t dare to look down upon it.”
Xu Taiping raised his eyebrows.
This girl.
That’s a lot to talk.
What's the meaning?
Taking the opportunity to break the news?
Okay.
So many eyes.
All I can say is that he really deserves to be a nightclub guy.
On the one hand, she is pitiful and on the other hand, she explodes with explosive news.
This trip was worth it.
Thinking like this, he pretended to be surprised: "That's not true. The county magistrate is a master at Jinshi level, but Yang Jintang is only a third-rate martial artist. So what if there are 800 county soldiers? He dares to lead troops to attack the county magistrate?"
Miss Piaopiao sighed: "Master, you are still too young and have been in the industry for too short a time. The position of county captain is so important, how can you wait for someone who is idle to take the position?"
"you mean……"
"Yes, the relationship between the county captain and the Wang family in the south of the city is not ordinary. Even Wang Yong is a distant branch of the Wang family."
Xu Taiping suddenly took a breath of cold air.
The Wang family in the south of the city!
Grass!
Careless!
He actually ignored this low-key family.
Within the jurisdiction of Jianyang, people with the surname Wang account for 60% of the total population.
Although most people are not related to the Wang family in Chengnan, there may be a beggar named Wang on the roadside who is inextricably related to the Wang family in Chengnan.
Made.
This case is even more troublesome.
If the Wang family intervenes, this case will not be solved even if Zhou Yucheng takes action himself.
but……
Will the Wang family really get involved in this matter?
The Wang family has been keeping a low profile for many years, so it makes no sense for them to suddenly become high-profile, right?
No matter how low-key the Wang family is.
Still have other plans.
It is unlikely that they will suddenly change their behavior for a mere Wang Yong.
Think of this.
He chuckled lightly, hugged Miss Piaopiao into his arms, and patted her twice: "Don't worry, even the Wang family in the south of the city cannot cover the sky with one hand."
"Master, you don't dare to talk nonsense. You are still young and have a bright future. For, for a brothel girl... it's not worth it."
When Miss Piao Piao said "it's not worth it", her tone was sad and full of self-pity. Tears slid down her smooth face, which made people feel pitiful.
Xu Taiping was heartbroken and kept comforting him: "Don't worry, I know what's going on."
He added: "It's okay if I didn't take over this case. Since I accepted the commission from the county magistrate, I will arrest the murderer even if my body is broken into pieces."
"Master, woo woo..."
"Hey, hey, why are you crying again?"
"Yet, no one has ever taken the lives of our poor sisters seriously. Wow, since childhood, too many sisters have died inexplicably. But, no one has ever cared about it. Of all the people, In my eyes, our sisters are not as valuable as a cat, wuwuwu..."
"Others are others, and I am my master, and I feel sorry for you."
"real?"
"Well, if someone bullies you in the future, just say that you are covered by Xu Taiping, the police officer."
"Master..."
Girl Piao Piao burst into tears of gratitude.
Afterwards, he tried his best to serve Xu Taiping.
until late at night.
Just let it go.
Daybreak.
Xu Taiping washed and dressed under the service of Miss Piao Piao, and left Qunfang Building.
Before leaving, I left ten taels of silver for Miss Piaopiao.
Only then did I know girl Piaopiao’s surname.
Remain.
Yu Piaopiao.
Of course, I don’t know if it’s true or false.
Go out.
Xu Taiping immediately put away the tenderness and affection on his face.
Walking to the county government office.
Passing by Ping'an Square, it suddenly occurred to me that I still owed the old man selling tofu bread dozens of pennies.
So I took a detour and walked a few steps.
But when I got there, I didn't see the old man's stall.
I asked the stall owner next door and he didn’t know.
A neighbor laughed and said, "It's common to wake up late, or to have a headache or a fever. Mr. Xu, if you want to eat tofu puffs, try Lao Zhang's."
Come all come.
Give it a try.
But the taste was a bit disappointing.
There are delicious food on the street stalls.
But most of the food on the street stalls is far from delicious, just filling the stomach.
When Xu Taiping drank tofu nao.
Qunfang Pavilion.
Yu Piaopiao dressed up neatly.
His face was deserted.
Looks indifferent.
Enter a secret room.
He said coldly: "I have investigated, and Xu Taiping has indeed entered martial arts, but his talent and strength are very poor. He is just a good talker and a little clever. He cannot be of help in the short term, and it is difficult to become a big success. It is not recommended to invest too much. More energy.”
