The fatal wound was just a tiny cut under the neck?
Song Qiu took the last wonton into his mouth, chewed it slowly, his eyebrows moved slightly, and he roughly thought of what was going on.
It would be better if Zhu Captou died, lest they fail to handle things properly, and Du Chuanfu would be accused of committing suicide out of fear of crime, and he would be unable to recover by then.
Now that Capt. Zhu is dead and the police at the town office are leaderless and they dare not solve the case without authorization, they have enough time.
Song Qiu secretly praised Aling for doing a good job, while listening to everyone around him speculating about what was going on and who the murderer was.
But just after breakfast, not long after, news spread throughout the town that Mr. Zhu had been killed last night.
For a time, people in the town were even more panicked and there were many speculations.
A bunch of police officers in the town office were like headless flies, unable to find their way in, and they were afraid that if they passed Mr. Zhu, they would be the next one. They hid in the town office and did not dare to come out. They were so anxious that they could not come out.
The chief of the pavilion is just a low-ranking person, not much better than these policemen. He can take care of the miscellaneous things in the town. In this kind of murder case, especially when a headman was killed, he was helpless.
No idea.
It was just when the chaos was inextricable that at around noon, several fast horses came from Songyang County, entered Ye Town, and went straight to the town office.
When the leading policeman named Liu saw the person coming, he was startled and rushed to greet him.
"Lord County Lieutenant, why are you here in person? Have you heard about the murder of Zhu Captou so soon?"
As soon as Gao Xianwei entered the door, he was confused by these words, "What did you say? Zhu Captou was killed?"
Agent Liu finally felt like he had a backbone, so he quickly explained everything.
When Gao County Lieutenant heard this, he also regretted taking this trip.
What kind of devil's nest is this Ye Town? How could it be so vicious?
Not to mention the tragic case of skinning and picking off the flesh first, now he even dared to kill the head of a county!
His life is more valuable than Zhu Baotou's gold. If he also dies here, it will be more than worth the gain!
Thinking of this and the purpose of his coming, he quickly said: "You arrested a man named Du yesterday, right? Where is he? Was he tortured?"
Inspector Liu didn't understand why he immediately asked about the person he arrested yesterday, but he honestly said: "The person is being held in the cell, and he hasn't had time to torture him yet!"
It was too late last night, and the police chief told them that they would not be tortured until they got up early this morning, and then they would directly plead guilty and put a bond on them. After finishing the case, they would go back to report.
Who knew that before dawn, Zhu Captou died.
How strange!
He is also afraid that he will be next.
Now the county captain is here in person, just in time.
Inspector Liu quickly asked for instructions, "My Lord County Lieutenant, what do you think we should do about this case?"
County Lieutenant Gao breathed a sigh of relief when he heard that the person was fine, and hurriedly ordered, "Hurry up and release the person! This case has nothing to do with him. If you don't have any brains, why do you dare to arrest anyone? You really know how to cause trouble!"
As soon as he arrived at the county government office early in the morning, he was sent by the county magistrate to rush here non-stop. He didn't dare to take a breath on the way. Isn't it because of these bastards!
Release him?
Captain Liu was stunned. He was waiting for the county captain to quickly settle the case so that they could follow him back to the county to avoid dying here in vain.
But the county captain actually asked him to let go of the one who took the blame?
He tentatively spoke, "Lord County Captain, what is the origin of this person named Du...?"
County Lieutenant Gao glared at him, "Don't ask around for things you shouldn't know. You just let him go. Don't ask any more questions!"
Captain Liu was stunned. The county captain is the brother-in-law of the county magistrate. Is there anything else in Songyang County that he is afraid of?
This guy named Du probably has a lot of background.
He has been working with the county captain for so many years and knows the county captain very well, so he quickly responded, "Hey! I'll go right now, little one!"
Then he said he was going to go, and he quickly went to the prison cell and released Du Chuanfu, who had been detained for one night and one morning.
Thinking about this man's background, even the county captain had to bow his head and come all the way to ask them to release him, so he couldn't help but nodded and bowed, and personally sent him out with some flattery.
Then he turned back and listened to Gao County Lieutenant's instructions on what to do next.
When Gao County Lieutenant came, he didn't expect that Zhu Captou would be killed!
He knew that his subordinates had nothing to lose, and the deceased had been stripped of his skin and flesh. This case sounded complicated, and he had no hope that they could solve it.
The reason why they were sent here was because they believed that with Capt. Zhu’s experience in handling cases and knowing what to do, they could resolve the case well to avoid causing him any trouble.
So I'm not worried.
Even this morning, someone came to my brother-in-law with the seal of Prince Changshan, saying that Capt. Zhu had arrested the wrong person in Ye Town, and asked my brother-in-law to order Capt. Zhu to be released.
Then his brother-in-law sent him to come in person, and he didn't worry much along the way.
I even thought that this was because my subordinate wanted to find someone to take the blame to solve the case, but he was unlucky and caught someone he shouldn't have.
He came and released the person, and gave his subordinates two more days to find another chance to close the case, and the matter was over.
But I never expected that Zhu Captou would also be killed!
What should we do now?
Tell him to stay here?
impossible!
He is also afraid of death!
He immediately looked at Inspector Liu and directly ordered: "The county captain is now promoting you to be the acting chief catcher. As long as you solve the case and come back to resume your duties, you will be officially promoted to the Songyang County chief catcher!"
With that said, he patted Captain Liu on the shoulder and said, "Do a good job, this county captain will take good care of you."
Liu. Acting as the head catcher. The catcher said that it would not be fun to be the head catcher under such circumstances.
The previous head catcher had just been killed!
He almost cried, "What about you, Lord County Lieutenant?" Why don't you stay and direct him to handle the case?
Gao County Lieutenant said seriously: "This County Lieutenant is busy with official duties and will return to Songyang County immediately."
After that, he left as soon as he said it.
Not to mention the meat-scraping case, even the case of the murder of Capt. Zhu was left to the newly appointed acting captor to take full responsibility.
No matter how he handles the case.
No matter what you do, if you do it well, it won't bother him, and if you do it badly, you won't be blamed.
Those who are above just pat their butts and leave, those who have nothing to do but suffer a little.
The newly appointed Chief Liu was also in a panic. He was afraid that he would not survive the night. He hid in the town office and did not even dare to show his face, let alone go out to investigate the case.
Several detectives who had always had a good relationship with him did not want to stay here and be frightened, so several cobblers got together to discuss countermeasures.
At about midnight, Liu Captou personally led the team and went straight to the Tiaozi Hutong in the west of the town. He held Jiang Gengfu, who had no father, mother, wife, children, or relatives, in a group, and walked through the streets and alleys, escorting him back to the town hall.
.
Jiang Gengfu was still an old bachelor at a young age and had no wife, so he was withdrawn, eccentric and cynical. This was the motive for committing the crime.
He has to do the watch every night, so he is still out wandering around late at night, which gives him time to commit crimes.
To sum up the above two points, Jiang Gengfu is definitely the murderer.
When Jiang Gengfu was interrogated, he also confessed to what he had committed. In the end, his confession was postponed and he committed suicide on the spot out of fear of guilt.
Since then, the case has been settled and everyone is happy.
Capt. Liu and his party didn't even wait for tomorrow. They didn't care whether they could rush back to the county or not. Even if they had to stay out tonight, they still left Ye Town without stopping.
