After saying that, Yue Guanchao and his party wanted to leave, but the detective walked out of the office, followed closely by Taoist Master Jin and Monk Hua. Out of curiosity, Yue Guanchao looked at Yue Qingshan: "Co-author, you are not the one looking for it. Relationship?"
"Just tell me if it's useful?" Yue Erpao said, holding his nose.
"It's useful, but how come Taoist Master Jin knows this detective?" Yue Guanchao became more and more confused at this moment. Now that he saw that the old Taoist priest and the detective of the Public Security Department also knew each other, he felt even more confused. Zero eight suspicions.
When Old Taoist Jin and Monk Hua came to his side, they asked: "Old Taoist Master, you are really powerful. You can even persuade the detective of the Public Security Department. Tell me, if you were so capable, if you had arrived earlier, Junshan Island, maybe these people don't have to die." Thinking about it now, no matter how the old Taoist priests deny it, they at least know that the Golden Rat Society will have something to do at the Dragon King Temple Festival. Coupled with their magical powers and dialogue, Yue Guanchao even It is certain that the Golden Rat Club also knows them, otherwise, they would not sell their face so much and leave after just saying a word.
Monk Hua pinched his waist and shouted: "Boy, I know what you want to say. Taoist Master Jin and I have been in Yueyang for decades. Everyone from the squires to the beggars in Yueyang City knows us. Inspector Luo was born in an orphanage. , we sent him in, and he sold us to save face, isn’t it normal?”
"As for those people, we just don't want to get involved in the cause and effect. You don't understand what happened back then. If you get involved, you don't know how much noise it will make." When Monk Hua was talking, the detective saw them talking in the corridor and walked in. : "Why are you still here?"
"Hengsen, this is an old friend of Master Hua and I. Today, it can be regarded as an old Taoist priest relying on his old age and stalling your investigation." Before Taoist Jin finished his words, Luo Hengsen quickly pushed his hand and said: "Taoist Jin, if it weren't for you, I was sent to an orphanage, and I would have starved to death on the streets. They are really your friends, so it’s no big deal if I let them go. It’s just that what their identities are, I don’t look like they are locals.”
"Indeed, from the north, this Yue Qingshan was the second master of the Golden Rat Club in the past, and the other old man was the third master of the Golden Rat Club. They had disbanded the Golden Rat Club decades ago. This year, I heard that the Dongting Lake Golden Rat Club The rats risked their lives and came here to investigate the truth." Luo Hengsen obviously had not thought about this. Seeing that they were members of the Golden Rat Society, his face immediately became surprised: "You are the Golden Rat Society? Then I can't let you go."
"Why? You don't want to lock us up again." Yue Erpao slightly wanted to escape.
"Ahem, that's not true. I want you to help us investigate the case." Luo Hengsen coughed a few times.
"Those corpses that look like golden rats?" Yue Qingshan asked tentatively.
"You also know?" Luo Hengsen's eyes widened, a little surprised. Yue Guanchao nodded towards him: "Yes, we have seen the strange news written by gossip reporters in the tabloids, and we also saw those corpses in Junshan Town." Luo Hengsen was surprised: "Well, what we saw was not the same. The corpses we saw do not include Junshan Town, you come with me." Since Luo Hengsen has said this, they also want to see what the corpse Luo Hengsen calls is, and follow the detective into the morgue in the backyard. Came to a morgue.
Turn on the light to perform an autopsy and lift the white cloth. Yue Guanchao looked at the corpse on the bed. The corpse was that of a middle-aged man. The body was swollen and white after being soaked in water. The surface was covered with golden fuzz. Even the teeth turned black and turned into fangs, just like a mouse lying flat on the bed. The totem on his body is just like the corpse in Junshan Town.
After observing the details, his tone became serious: "It's similar to what we saw, except that Junshan Town was afraid that these things were corpses, so they sealed them all in coffins and kept them secret to prevent outsiders from knowing."
"Then, this method is the method used by golden rats to kill people in the past?" Luo Hengsen looked at Yue Qingshan. The old Yue shook his head: "No, although the Golden Rat Society is an organization that digs graves, it has never thought of killing civilians. Those who wanted to kill people at that time must be heinous people. All they need is to give them a clean cut." , why bother to torture them like this."
"Look!" Lao Yue opened the corpse's neck and saw that the slightly swollen neck had many strangulation marks. Due to the lack of blood circulation in the strangulation marks, they had turned into blue and red mottled blood stasis. It looked like Shocking: "Most of these corpses were formed after strangulation and then being thrown into the water. In addition, they must have been tortured before death, otherwise their eyes would not be so painful. This also means that the murderer killed them out of necessity." To vent his anger and kill."
"In this way, the purpose of the Golden Rat Society has changed from intimidating the people to killing them. But what I don't understand is that the Golden Rat Society has never had any enmity with the people. Why do they treat the people of Yueyang City like this? Even You also want to talk about repaying a sinful debt." Old Yuetou didn't understand this. Yue Guanchao seemed to have thought of something and took out the things he picked up at the scene and handed them to Luo Hengsen: "I picked this up at the scene. See if it’s useful in investigating the case.”
"This is the cover of the water bandit camp." Luo Hengsen recognized what this thing was at a glance.
"Water Bandit Camp? Are you sure?" They had already made this suspicion. Seeing that their suspicion came true, Yue Guanchao had already smelled the conspiracy behind the badge.
"Yes, do you know what the predecessor of the Public Security Department was?" Luo Hengsen deliberately let it slip.
"What?"
"Yueyang Case Investigation Bureau." He paused and continued: "In other words, all the files of the Case Investigation Bureau were inherited by the Public Security Department. After I was promoted to detective, I had the authority to access the files. At that time, I thought I have been working to protect the environment and the people, investigate cases and arrest culprits, and have also sorted out previous files. The totem I saw comes from the theft of Hunan Army pay and silver in Yueyang forty years ago." Thirty or forty years ago, the Taiping Army failed, and the remaining remnants flowed into In the southwest, the former Taiping rebels followed the rebels into Sichuan, Hunan and Guizhou and became bandits. This move also caused many gang uprisings in the southwest, which caused a bad custom among the people in the southwest. The ancient roads no longer existed, and the capital suppressed them at that time. After defeating the Taiping Army, in order to quickly quell the war, he began to order the southwest to set up regiment training camps to protect the territory and the people.
At that time, the people responsible for suppressing the civil unrest were the regiment training camp of Hunan Province, also known as the Xiangyong who protected the territory. They invested their troops to suppress the bandits, eliminate the disorderly people, and cooperated with the case investigation bureau to kill and solve the case. However, in the past few years, the folk customs in Hunan have changed drastically. Those who The remaining forces gradually faded away, and they no longer dared to cause chaos in the streets.
Since the case investigation bureau is involved, it is inevitable that there will be unjust, false and wrong cases that have been beaten. The case of theft of salary was the first major case handled after the change of folk customs in Hunan. It was also a case recorded in Yueyang local chronicles with many doubts. of unsolved cases.
This case is hanging in the balance, and it is impossible to determine whether the perpetrator was wronged or deserved it!
