Tuiguan belongs to the seventh rank and is one of the deputies of the prefect. He has the power to supervise, intervene and even interrogate various cases within the jurisdiction of the prefecture.
If there is really a problem in recommending officials, then colluding with the government office to provide cover and convenience for the demons in Wujiabao and Mianyuan counties is really not a problem.
Of course, it is also possible that the owner of the vampire is not the official, but someone else, who is just hiding in the execution hall.
However, judging from the current situation, it is most likely that there is a problem with the official recommendation.
To act as a protective umbrella for the demons in Wujiabao and Mianyuan counties, ordinary police officers cannot do it.
As for deliberately sending vampires to frame him, it's unlikely.
Unless the owner of the vampire has already discovered that the vampire was captured by the Demon Suppression Department, and also predicted that the Demon Suppression Department would release the vampire and use the ghost mother statue to track him down.
If the vampire master really had such an ability to predict the unknown, how could he let Qin Shaoyou and the others encounter the scene of killing Yan Liu and wiping them out?
Qin Shaoyou squinted his eyes and quickly recalled the information he had read.
The promotion official in Luocheng is called Fan Zhengqi, who is from Ningzhou and has a Juren background.
He went to Beijing several times to take the exam but failed. Later, he passed the selection of the Ministry of Personnel, became a recommendation official, and was sent to Luocheng.
Fan Zhengqi served as an official in Luocheng for several years and presided over the detection of many cases. He was well-known among the people. It was said that he was upright and impartial in the administration of justice, and that he was a good official.
Qin Shaoyou did not alleviate his suspicion of Fan Zhengqi just because he had a good official reputation.
Before the incident, Wujiabao was still a well-known house of kindness. What was the result?
In this world, reputation is just like the personas managed by stars on earth. Only they themselves know whether it is true or false, and it may collapse one day.
Zhu Xiucai was also looking at the torture hall in the night.
He and Qin Shaoyou were thinking the same thing: "Why did the vampire come to the execution hall? Is there something wrong with the official, or does the vampire master want to divert trouble to the east?"
"What the reason is, you'll find out once you go in and check it out." Xu Ba'an said with a sneer.
He is the general bannerman, and his official rank is the same as that of a recommendation officer. He is also from the Demon Suppression Department, so naturally he is not afraid of the other party.
Then he turned around and asked Qin Shaoyou, "Brother Shaoyou, do you dare to go in with me to check?"
"Why don't you dare?" Qin Shaoyou held his head high and said with an upright face: "This case not only involves vampires, but also involves cases in Wujiabao and Mianyuan counties. Not to mention the official recommendation, no matter how big the official is, It’s all correct!”
Unless the real culprit behind the scenes is found out, he will feel uneasy. Who knows when the other party will trick him?
So this person must be eliminated!
If he wants to survive safely in this world, he must kill everyone who threatens him.
The vampire has one master, and so does the mysterious nobleman.
They all have to be killed!
Xu Ba'an was very satisfied with what Qin Shaoyou said and nodded repeatedly: "Well said! Our Demon Suppression Department investigates cases with this kind of domineering attitude!"
In the short time they were talking, the night watchmen of the Demon Suppression Department had already surrounded the torture hall on horseback.
Xu Baan was about to send someone to knock on the door.
"The noise of banging on the door is too loud, and it is easy for the vampire master to be prepared." Qin Shaoyou took out a pair of flying tiger claws from his arms, "Let's climb the wall and open the door."
Upon seeing this, Zhu Xiucai, Ma Monk and other subordinates took out their flying tiger claws and wanted to follow him to climb the wall.
Xu Baan was shocked: "Why are you still carrying this thing with you?"
He frowned and looked at Zhu Xiucai, wondering if it was this guy who liked to pick locks and enter the house who taught Qin Shaoyou a bad lesson, right?
"Be prepared for any trouble." Qin Shao said.
Last time in Wujiabao, it was because of the Flying Tiger Claw and Mirage Pearl that they were able to defeat and capture everyone in the Wu family with an outnumbered enemy.
Since then, the Flying Tiger Claw has become a common prop for Qin Shaoyou and his group.
Seeing Xu Ba'an's surprise, Zhu Xiucai couldn't help but laugh and said: "What's this? We adults have a knife hidden in our crotch."
Xu Baan and others were shocked again, all looking at Qin Shaoyou's crotch.
Although I didn't see where he hid the knife, I couldn't help but shudder.
A knife hidden in your crotch? This is too cruel. Aren't you afraid that if someone doesn't pay attention, the egg will be cut off and the chicken will have to go to the palace to eat?
When they looked at Qin Shaoyou again, there was something inexplicable in their eyes.
Everyone was sighing: Qin Xiaoqi is a ruthless person!
Qin Shaoyou and the others threw the flying tiger claws to the wall of the torture hall, pulled the rope, quickly climbed into the torture hall, and opened the door from the inside.
It went very smoothly.
The moment the door opened, Xu Baan led a large group of night watchmen and rushed into the execution hall.
As soon as they entered the execution hall, the hand of the ghost mother statue pointed directly at the backyard.
The backyard is where the officials and their families live.
Xu Ba'an raised his eyebrows and sneered: "It is indeed related to Tuiguan. Let's go to the backyard to meet Fan Tuiguan."
The officer on duty heard the noise and ran out of the officer's room to check the situation. Before he could ask for a warning, he was controlled by the night watchman.
These officers wanted to resist and struggle at first, but after seeing the cards shown by the night watchmen, they all became honest.
They, who work in the yamen, know the power of the Demon Suppression Division better than ordinary people.
Since the night watchman is here and is still mobilizing people like this, it means that there is a ghost in the execution hall.
The officers suddenly began to tremble, feeling as if there were terrifying creatures hiding in the dark night, coveting their bodies.
Therefore, the guards not only did not struggle, but also hugged the night watchman tightly, wanting to ask for protection and comfort.
At the same time, Qin Shaoyou, Xu Baan and others had arrived in the backyard.
The backyard is not big, with the main house facing north and south, wing rooms on the left and right sides, and a courtyard in the middle.
As soon as they entered the backyard, the ghost mother statue raised its hand all the way and put it down.
Zhu Xiucai caught a glimpse of this scene and said anxiously: "Why did it put down its hand? Did the vampire escape? Or was it silenced?"
Qin Shaoyou knew better and explained: "If the vampire is silenced, we are so close, it is impossible not to sense it. It puts down its hand, which means the vampire is here!"
"So that's it." Zhu Xiucai breathed a sigh of relief.
In the inner courtyard, Fan Zhengqi heard the noise and walked out of the main room.
By the light, he saw Xu Ba'an and others wearing the official uniforms of the Demon Suppression Division. He couldn't help but be startled, frowned and asked: "What are the people from the Demon Suppression Division doing in my execution hall?"
Xu Ba'an cupped his hands and said with a half-smile: "I'm sorry, Mr. Fan, we are chasing a vampire. When we saw it broke into the execution hall, we followed it in to investigate. You should cooperate with us, right?"
"Vampire?"
Fan Zhengqi was shocked when he heard this, and then said righteously: "Such a ghost appeared in Luocheng? Refining a vampire is a serious crime of beheading! Although such cases are not the responsibility of our prison, since vampires Sneaked into our execution hall, we must fully cooperate!"
"It would be best if Mr. Fan is willing to cooperate."
Xu Ba'an nodded, but couldn't help but frown because he couldn't see anything unusual in Fan Zhengqi's performance.
Don't talk about him, Qin Shaoyou's [Bright Eyesight] talent has not found any problems with Fan Zhengqi for the time being.
Xu Ba'an turned around and whispered to Qin Shaoyou: "Shaoyou, please bring a few people into the room to search. Places where vampires are trained are usually filled with toys to amuse children, or sweets that children like to eat, and where blood is stored. Bottles and utensils of ghost corpses.”
"Yes." Qin Shaoyou nodded in agreement, said "offended" to Fan Zhengqi, and then led Zhu Xiucai, Ma Monk and others into the room to search.
Fan Zhengqi did not stop them, but just warned: "Please be gentle and don't break things in the room. They are all the public property of the Criminal Court. And the files on my desk must not be defaced."
He looks like a good official who loves his job and is dedicated to his job.
Xu Ba'an asked Fan Zhengqi to call out all the family members and servants living in the backyard, and also sent people to bring over the officers on duty in the front yard.
Then he took out something similar to a compass and measured each of these people.
People who often come into contact with vampires are bound to be contaminated by the vampire's yin energy.
This compass is specially used to measure Yin Qi.
Once the pointer in the compass moves randomly, it means that the person's yin energy is very strong, and it is most likely related to ghosts.
Either you have a ghost, you sleep with a ghost, or you are haunted by ghosts.
Perhaps Ba'an General has tested everyone in the execution hall, and the compass needle has not changed.
It shows that there is no yin energy in these people, including Fan Zhengqi.
"No problem?" Xu Ba'an couldn't help but frown. This result was completely beyond his expectation.
Unwilling to give in, he took the compass and checked the Yin Qi situation in the yard.
While inspecting, look carefully.
Any place with heavy Yin Qi will find it difficult for vegetation to grow and insects and snakes to stay away.
In the backyard of Keli Prison Hall, the vegetation grew very well, and although no snakes were seen, there were quite a few mosquitoes.
It is completely inconsistent with the situation of heavy yin energy.
And the compass gave no warning.
Just when he was confused, Qin Shaoyou led people to search several rooms in the backyard and came out with a sullen face.
Xu Ba'an hurriedly approached and asked, "How are you doing? Did you find anything?"
Qin Shaoyou shook his head: "There are no children-related things in these rooms. No matter it's toys, candies or small clothes, there are none. There are a few bottles and jars, but they are all empty. It doesn't look like they have been stored. Corpses.”
"It shouldn't be..."
Xu Baan frowned.
Qin Shaoyou is also wondering what is going on.
suddenly.
Dong dong dong...
A sudden drumbeat sounded.
In this silent night, the strange drum sound is particularly penetrating.
