Chapter 342 The crime is so heinous that death is inevitable
"People are similar and things are the same. Could it be that brother punched him in the eye?"
"This..." Li Qingyuan seemed a little hesitant.
After all, he didn’t see it with his own eyes, so how could he dare to vouch for it?
What's more, this kind of thing is a bit weird to begin with. Firstly, he was eager to express himself in front of Tie Tang, and secondly, he heard something strange, so he hurried over.
"If you do this, send someone to confirm it first, and don't alert the snake. If it is accurate, then let me know."
Although Tie Tang also felt that it was very subtle, the arrangement of the formation had not yet been finalized, so he did not pay much attention to other things at the moment.
"Yes, sir, I took the liberty." Li Qingyuan nodded repeatedly.
"Well, you can go on your own." Tie Tang turned around and was about to go back home. He suddenly thought of something and asked casually.
"Where is that person from?"
Li Qingyuan quickly replied: "According to the records, he is a native of Qingshui City and a member of the Gou family."
"Huh?"
"The Gou family? Which Gou family?" Tie Tang turned around suddenly.
Li Qingyuan responded in a low voice: "Sir, there is only one Gou family in Qingshui City."
"Oh, interesting."
Tie Tang crossed his arms over his chest and thought for a moment.
"It seems that they did bump into me, but I don't know who is planning it... Let's go back to the county government office."
Originally, this case had nothing to do with Tie Tang.
As the governor of a county, unless thousands or tens of thousands of people died at once, ordinary cases would not be his turn and there would be no need for him to handle them.
No matter how big the case is, the local inspection department and the supervisory county are responsible for it. If it really breaks the truth, there will be no Changsheng. Qiu Zhengyang and two people will know the truth.
As the governor of a county, you must first take care of the livelihood of the hundreds of millions of people in Qingshui County, instead of focusing on one or two strange and unsolved cases.
However, when Tie Tang takes office as a new official, it seems a bit strange that this kind of case suddenly appears, and it seems that the person who comes is not good, and the good person does not come.
He and Li Qingyuan returned to the county government's arrest hall. The place was brightly lit, no longer noisy during the day, and there were fewer arrests coming and going.
In the ordinary secret realm of the physical body, witchcraft power has not yet been refined. It still needs to absorb nutrients through a strong physical body, and it also needs to ensure the spirit through sufficient sleep.
"Where is that brother? Bring him over and explain in detail."
Li Qingze was still here, and when he saw Tie Tang arriving, he was inevitably surprised and looked at his brother curiously.
"Brother, something happened." Li Qingyuan didn't hide anything, and slowly told them what he knew in front of the two of them.
It turned out that during the day, Li Qingyuan quickly locked in the scope of the murderer based on the reports from the on-site search and inspection hall police officers and the gangsters.
After getting Tie Tang's permission, he went to the Supervisory County Residence and reported it to the supervisory envoy on duty.
The inspector did not waste any time. He quickly conducted a search, arrested two fire-signed documents, stamped his own seal, and quickly arrived at Fenghuaxueyue Pavilion with his men Xing Ming, Li Qingyuan and other detectives.
During the day, Fenghuaxueyue Pavilion is more than ten times cooler than at night, but there are still people taking a rest inside.
This includes some soldiers from Longwuying.
When the government wanted to arrest the people in the army and the captains in the Longwu camp, the first one refused.
Fortunately, Li Qingyuan did not go alone, but also brought the supervisor with him. After a dispute, he finally calmed down these soldiers.
Human lives are involved, and military personnel are involved. These are extremely sensitive matters.
Li Qingyuan and the inspector did not arrest anyone, but chose to interrogate them on the spot.
After all, it was a human life case, and the soldiers present did not hide too much. They told everything they knew and quickly narrowed down the scope of the murderer significantly.
Coupled with the evidence of some brothel women in Fenghua Yuexue Pavilion, the suspect without alibi was directly targeted to one person.
According to the soldiers here, this man left before midnight last night and has never come back. He may have returned to the camp outside the city.
When Li Qingyuan and others heard about it, they naturally found the barracks outside the city. Although they did not go in, they also saw the entry and exit registration documents.
When officers and soldiers are training in the army, there are strict procedures when entering and leaving. They do not come and leave when they want.
According to the documents registered at Longwuying, the man never returned after leaving with the large army.
This person's whereabouts are currently unknown, and the clues are now half broken.
However, Li Qingyuan and the supervisory envoy were not idlers. As soon as they integrated the context of the incident, they immediately grasped another core.
According to the report at the murder scene, there were probably two or more murderers who killed the naughty gangster.
The missing soldier from Longwu Camp is considered one person, but there is at least one more.
And if this other person is the first to attack that person...then his strength is obviously lower. He may not be in the Yijin realm, but in the Bone Forging realm, which is equal to the deceased's cultivation.
The Inspection Department and the Supervisory Hall joined forces and quickly followed the clues and found a group of gangsters who might be the murderers from the connections of the missing soldier.
Just as Er Mazi from the Kowloon Gang asked Xiong Zi to entertain the Longwuying soldiers, the other three gangs from the outer city will also send people to win over these military masters.
Li Qingyuan summoned the other three gang leaders, and after a short interrogation, he found out the gangster who was colluding with the missing soldier.
"However, after we got the information about that person, we went to look for it... and found that he was also missing!"
Tie Tang, Dama Jin Dao, sat down and took a sip of steaming strong tea, purely as a hangover.
He didn't interrupt until he heard this.
"You mean...the two suspected murderers are now missing?"
"Yes, we are still looking for them, but there is no news yet. I estimate that... they are probably in danger."
Li Qingze is also a veteran in solving cases, and he noticed something was wrong as soon as he heard the process.
"What's the reason? What's the motive? Why would you kill a gangster when you have a force that can make a soldier disappear?
This doesn’t make sense!
To put it bluntly, even if the soldiers of Longwu Camp really killed someone.
If the forces behind him want to protect him, then they have to spend a little money, make some promises to the gang leaders, and let them find someone with a good criminal record to take the blame. It won't be that difficult at all."
What Li Qingze said is hard to hear, but it is a fact in this world.
First of all, the deceased was not a great person, and his cultivation level was not high. He had no relatives or friends, and the only people who could stand up for him were the so-called gang brothers.
As long as the crime is done well and someone comes to plead guilty, the police will only act according to the rules and will not be able to get to the bottom of it.
No one will be held accountable for the death. If no one complains, the matter will not be too big and will soon be over.
Li Qingyuan scratched his head: "The reason behind this... I haven't figured it out yet, and I don't have enough time."
"Okay, let's not talk about this for now. What does this have to do with what you said before?" Tie Tang did not delve into the inside story, but asked about the Gou family.
He had a premonition that the article in this article...may be aimed at him.
"Sir, since we can't find the two suspects, we can only continue to look at the relationship between them to see if we can find anything.
Unexpectedly, after this investigation...it was like pulling out the carrot and bringing out the mud.
The missing soldier's hometown was in Zhoufeng City, and he came to Qingshui City to join the army because of someone's recommendation.
The recommender’s last name is Gou!
The subordinates were a little curious when they saw it, secretly wondering if there was a Gou family in Zhoufeng City?
Because Zhoufeng City is quite far away from us and there is less traffic on weekdays, I don’t know the situation there.
I thought about asking my plum blossom cousins who came back some time ago.
After asking this question, I learned that there is indeed a Gou family in Zhoufeng City, but it is very small, but very powerful. It dominates Zhoufeng City and is notorious.
I asked that brother to describe the situation of the Gou family in detail. After learning the appearance of the head of the Gou family, the more I thought about it, the more familiar it became.
Later, when I opened the file, I immediately confirmed my guess."
Tie Tang was a little puzzled: "You can recognize that person just by verbal description?"
Li Qingyuan nodded repeatedly.
"Of course my subordinates remember that although twenty years have passed, this case was not a small case at the time.
Twenty years ago, my eldest brother and I were not police officers. At that time, our Li family... was not in very good condition. Sir, you should know that.
Qingwan had only been serving as the county magistrate for a few years when an extremely bad case broke out.
Because the murderer was so cruel, even if he was a member of the Gou family, he could not escape punishment. He was captured on the spot, interrogated, and sentenced to death without even a chance to be sent to a cold and cold place for labor.
The reason why the subordinates still remember, besides the murderer's conscience, is also because Qingwan withstood a lot of pressure and forcibly beheaded the man.
Originally, according to the law, and the Gou family united with other aristocratic families to exert pressure, there was actually a chance to win the possibility of going to work to make amends.
However, Qingwan teamed up with Mr. He and Mr. Qiu to finalize the case without giving him a chance, and the murderer would be brought to justice within seven days."
At this point, Li Qingze also knew which case Li Qingyuan was talking about.
"You mean Gou Zhen is still alive?"
"It's very possible..."
"Impossible!"
"He has obviously been beheaded in public. You and I both went to Masipo to watch and saw his head being chopped off on the spot..."
Li Qingyuan said quietly: "Brother...Gou Zhen was already a great witch of the soul back then, and his cultivation level is higher than that of you and me now.
Not to mention cutting off the head, but cutting out the heart and lungs, he is still capable of surviving.
We couldn't see through these things back then, but now we can't stand to think about them carefully."
"It's getting more and more interesting..." Tie Tang knocked on the armrest and thought carefully.
A criminal who should have been beheaded twenty years ago may still be alive in the world today, free and lawless.
There happened to be an unknown promoter who deliberately put this matter in front of Tie Tang.
Still at such a sensitive moment!
"It seems that I have been stable for a few days, but they started to get scared..."
There is no need to think about this matter, other aristocratic families in the city must have taken action.
Seeing that he had not taken any action during this period, these wealthy families might have guessed that he was going to cause trouble.
So I took the lead and offered a ‘meeting gift’.
It depends not only on whether you dare to accept it, but also on whether you have the ability to accept it.
After pondering for a moment, Tie Tang asked the Meihuatang internal guard who had already arrived to once again describe the situation of the Gou family in Zhoufeng City.
Li Qingze was also present and saw Gou Zhen. As soon as he heard this description, he quickly made the same judgment as Li Qingyuan.
"Sir, there is a high probability that I can confirm it right away as long as I go there."
Li Qingyuanze was a little worried: "If this is true... then there are too many people involved. I'm afraid there are not just one or two people who covered up this case.
Sir, do you want to ventilate with others first?"
Tie Tang waved his hand: "Master Li dared to resolve the case despite their pressure, how could I be afraid of them?
Don't talk to anyone about this matter, I will arrange it!"
"Yes, sir!"
"The magistrate of Zhoufeng City...how many years have you been there?"
Li Qingze responded: "This county magistrate should have been in office for less than seven years. According to convention, the county magistrate of a city will be transferred or promoted after seven years.
However, our Qingshui County has always had a bad reputation. It is a notoriously cold place. Officials in subordinate cities often serve for ten or twenty years at a time, and there are still many who serve longer periods."
"In other words...in the past twenty years, there have been at least two magistrates in Zhoufeng City?"
"It should be so."
"Twenty years after resurrecting from the dead, he is still bullying the local tyrants, the county magistrate, the county magistrate, and the chief arrest... Can't these people see the man's crime?" Tie Tang was disappointed.
Li Qingyuan said cautiously: "I'm afraid it's still related to the Gou family... All the major families in Qingshui City, although they all live in Qingshui City on the surface.
In fact, their roots... have already spread to all the subordinate cities, and even have their manpower in the villages."
"I know this!"
Tie Tang chuckled: "When I was in Yuncheng...there were already people who wanted to kill me, and they were pretty good at it."
How barren is Yuncheng?
It was a truly barren land, but even in that kind of place, there were people who wanted to pluck the geese's feathers and squeeze out the last drop of blood from the people.
"Bring me the files from Gou Zhen's past, and let me see what he did to make him so angry."
"Sir, we have no longer stored the files from twenty years ago here. We need to go to the Supervisory County Residence to retain them."
"Let's go and see."
Tie Tang took the Li brothers and rushed to the Supervisory County Residence in a hurry.
However, he was stopped by an inspector in front of the warehouse door where the files were stored.
"Sir...what is your identity?"
Although the county guard has a high rank, he cannot trespass here, nor can he interfere in the affairs of the Supervisory Hall. He needs two deputy guards or Qiu Zhengyang's documents.
The inspector who guarded the warehouse was conscientious and did his best, and did not let him go just because of Tie Tang's identity.
Without saying a word, Tie Tang took out his official Pixiu seal and tied it around his waist: "The procedures must be correct, so register in my name."
"Please!"
Without any further obstruction, the supervisor took out his seal and pressed it on the dark door, then took out a two-foot-long key covered in green and black and inserted it into the door lock.
Boom!
The door slowly opened, and a rotten smell wafted out along with the aroma of pen and ink.
There is no dust inside, clean and tidy.
"Sir, the files stored here are all closed cases that are more than ten years old. When are you looking for the case?"
"I'll take a look at it."
"Understood." The man exited the warehouse, leaving only Tie Tang and the other two people there.
Li Qingyuan followed the picture and searched the rows of cases in front of him, and soon found the dossier from that year.
"Sir, you see, the Tianlu official seal has been affixed, and there is no inspection seal of your lord. This person has already confirmed that he has committed suicide."
This file was wrapped in a cowhide bag, which recorded the time of the case, the characters, the penalty results, and the official seals of the Inspection Department and the Supervisory Hall.
Theoretically, this is already an ironclad case!
The evidence is conclusive and irrefutable. Even the murderer has been brought to justice, so there is no need to overturn the case.
Tie Tang gently opened the seal and pulled out the two-foot-thick file inside.
"Looks like he's a villain!"
"Sir, that's just a directory, the details are here."
Bang!
Li Qingyuan loosened his grip and placed a seven-foot-high cloth bag in front of him.
"People say that they are the best person in the world, but this person is the most sinful person in the world. There is something wrong with him."
Tie Tang reached out and grabbed it, and his magic power burst out. He opened the two bags and threw them into the air.
Wow.....
Like a goddess scattering flowers, the top of the warehouse was covered with documents, which recorded the past crimes of this person.
Tie Tang stood still, his eyes flashing purple, looking up and down, seeing every document clearly.
"On the ninth day of the tenth month in the seven hundred and ninety-first year of the Human Emperor's calendar, Gou Zhen and three other people, together with six servants, were roaming on horseback in Qingshui City.
They went to the southwest road of the city and forcibly plundered the two women and mounted them on their horses. They drove to the foot of Quan'an Mountain outside the city and raped them in turns.
Gou Zhen was arrested and detained on October 20 of the same year, and released without charge on November 8.
On the sixth day of April in the year seven hundred and ninety-three, Gou Zhen forcibly violated a fifteen-year-old girl named Song in Room D, Tianzi, of the Fengyi Inn.
On the second day of June of the same year, in Room C of Tianzi of Fengyi Inn, Gou Zhen violated Zhang in public despite other people in the room.
Three days later, in the same room, he forcibly violated Zhang's friend He again, and forced him to bring his ten-year-old little sister to him tomorrow for his sexual pleasure.
When He refused, Gou Zhen ordered his servants to beat him severely, peel off the fingernails of his hands, and make him bite a corner of the desk with his mouth, and then kicked him violently. Seventeen of his teeth were lost on the spot, and his face was distorted. June 21st, at Nanshan Villa..."
Tie Tang only read a small part of it and suddenly put away all the files with a wave of his hand.
His heart beat violently, and a thunderous voice sounded in the warehouse.
