Chapter 64: Spearheads from all directions point directly at one person
Yongyuan Supervisory Authority.
As the most powerful law enforcement and even legislative body of the Great Shang Dynasty, the Supervisor can be said to be the brightest official in the world.
But...
All the Overwatch Council buildings are dark.
Whether it is the Youxian Supervisory Office or the Longyuan Supervisory Office.
Their structures, walls, inner walls, and even eaves, porcelain tiles, and floor tiles are all extremely dull black.
Tie Tang's predecessor had been to the Youxian Supervisory Office several times, but that was for official business.
Entering here as a suspect... is undoubtedly a different experience.
The dark interrogation room is extremely simple, with only a desk, two wicker chairs, and a copper oil lamp with a crane's beak as tall as a person placed in the corner.
Tie Tang and Zhao Mingzhe sat on both sides of the desk, looking at each other.
"What's your last name and where do you live?"
"Tietang, Yuncheng."
"Why did you come to Longyuan?"
"Watch the feast of Qujiang."
"As far as I know, you are the chief catcher of a party, so how can you have time to come here? Could it be that you have other purposes?"
"No!"
"Where were you at the time of the incident?"
"May I ask, Mr. Supervisor, when is the time of the crime?"
"What? You want to steal information and start making up lies?"
Tie Tang was happy.
He looked at Zhao Mingzhe and asked lightly: "Are you serious? Is this the only method the dignified supervisor can use?"
"Hahahaha!" Zhao Mingzhe laughed loudly, and his powerful laughter echoed in the secret room, almost bursting Tie Tang's eardrums.
Is this guy...showing force?
After Zhao Mingzhe smiled, his expression changed, and he said calmly: "Zhao also heard about the name of Iron God.
When it comes to finding the murderer and solving the case, it is deceptive... Even I dare not say that it is better than an iron arrester.
To deal with people like you.
Sometimes the simplest method can work wonders.
I wonder what the Iron Captor thinks of this move?"
Tie Tang remained as still as a mountain, tapping his index finger lightly on the table.
"In that case, let's open the skylight and speak frankly.
After Lao Wang and I met with Mr. Tang at the county government, we have been in the public eye. Even if they were unwilling to testify for me, it would not be difficult for the supervisor to find out the truth.
After we came back from the trial place, we stayed with Zhang Zhixian all the time. These county officials and others can testify.
Tie asked himself——
No matter when the crime occurred, I have sufficient alibi."
"Okay! It's great to be the iron catcher." Zhao Mingzhe clapped his hands, and then asked a cold question.
"What if Tang Baotou and others... died underwater?"
Hmm?
Tie Tang's heart skipped a beat, feeling vaguely that something was not good.
Zhao Mingzhe noticed the change in his expression and continued to press: "Someone told me that he saw you and Wang Andao opening the door to the trial place and walking out on your own.
And I have never seen you two in the secret realm.
In the middle....
Who is talking nonsense?"
"Lao Wang and I did enter the trial site, but after the Desire Lotus purified the fire, we chose to withdraw." Tie Tang did not deny it.
Because when they went out, in addition to the water tribe, there were also a few sporadic human figures outside, so these deeds could not be hidden from the supervisor.
Quite the opposite.
He also needs these people to testify for himself.
"If you encounter an unexpected encounter, or you don't go in from the beginning, how can you choose to retreat after passing the first hurdle?
Could it be that the two Iron Catchers have some ulterior motives?"
"I just sensed the danger and didn't want to move on."
After Tie Tang finished speaking, he looked directly at Zhao Mingzhe and said slowly: "If Tie didn't guess wrong... I guess the supervisor is inside, so there shouldn't be much gained, right?
There - it should be the legacy of the sage Jiaolong!
If the human race goes in, most of them will return empty-handed."
Zhao Mingzhe's eyebrows were raised upside down and his expression was displeased. It was obvious that Tie Tang had convinced him.
He was indeed busy in vain.
If it weren't for the strong strength, it might not be possible to come out in a while.
"As expected, you are worthy of the name of God's Catcher. I have recorded everything you said and will verify it later.
Now... please ask the iron catcher to wait at our Supervisory Yuan."
"Can I still say no?" Tie Tang laughed at himself, got up and followed Zhao Mingzhe out of the secret room.
——
It was late at night, the stars were shining brightly, and inexplicable roars could be heard from time to time in the Overwatch Council.
Its voice sounds like a human but not a human, and sounds like an animal but not an animal. I don’t know what kind of eerie and strange existence it is.
Tie Tang and Wang Andao were sitting in the main hall of the Supervisory Yuan, drinking tea that had already gone bad.
"Old Wang, the Supervisory Yuan can't do anything to you. Aren't you going to go sideways in this world?"
"Pull down Tietou, I will also forcefully pull off the tiger's skin.
He can't arrest me, but if he puts a sack on me in the middle of the night and beats me up, what can I do?
You have to have a strong fist!
It's a pity that my martial arts talent is average. I don't know how far I can go after entering the secret realm of witchcraft." At this point, Wang Andao was a little downcast.
"How can a dignified inspector do such a childish thing?"
"You don't know how to be an inspector? You are the third rank of the imperial court..." Wang Andao did not continue, because there were outsiders in the hall.
Zhao Mingzhe walked in with a strange expression, holding a letter in his hand.
"I didn't expect that the iron catcher... is also a member of our generation, look at it."
A yellowed cowhide envelope was handed to Tie Tang. It was also engraved with the mark of a delicate Qiushui Yanling knife.
This is an official document from Dashang Inspection Department.
Are you from Qingshui County?
"What do you mean, sir?"
Tie Tang pointed to the fire seal on the letter, which had been opened, indicating that Zhao Mingzhe had read the letter inside.
"I was afraid that the inspection department would protect my subordinates, so I opened it and checked it as usual." Zhao Mingzhe looked up at the sky of the hall, his eyes evasive.
"Tie Tang will report this matter truthfully."
"It's up to you." Zhao Mingzhe obviously doesn't care.
The Inspection Department and the Supervisory Yuan... just fight and it's over. No one has ever tried to intimidate anyone. Talking about anything else is nonsense.
Tie Tang took out the letter and just glanced at it, he felt a tall figure appear in his mind, like a mountain cliff or the top of a cliff, majestic and majestic.
What does it mean to see the words as the face?
This is the true meaning of seeing words and seeing faces!
"I respectfully acknowledge you, Iron Captor, I am Yan Su, the Commander-in-Chief of Qingshui County.
Regarding the death of Tang Huaqing’s chief arrester in Longyuan City, I already know that this matter is a serious matter and should not be taken lightly.
I have heard for a long time that Tie Captou solves crimes like a god, and now he is in Longyuan City, and he is also a witness to the case..."
The more Tie Tang watched, the faster his breathing became, and his expression became strange.
"Because of the above, this case will be reviewed by you and the Yongyuan Supervisory Authority.
We have a limit of seven days to solve the case, and we must not ruin the reputation of our inspection department. Remember! Remember!"
Who?
Who is targeting me?
Solve the case within seven days?
It’s a joke. If you have the skills, come and do it.
Yan Su...you, Pang Feiwen, Li Chengyun and the others are all in the same group, right?
Most of this letter is spent bragging about Tie Tang's past achievements. It seems like praise, but it is actually flattering.
This can be seen from the deadline of seven days to solve the case.
Without this last condition, Tie Tang would still think that the other party admired him.
But with this condition...
If I can't solve the case within seven days, I'm afraid I won't be able to continue my job as the chief catcher.
Officialdom is like a battlefield. If you show this letter to anyone, they won’t be able to find anything wrong with it.
But if something goes wrong, I will be the first scapegoat.
No wonder Zhao Mingzhe said that he was with him. He had read the letter and naturally understood what was going on.
Sure enough.
If you are not careless in this world, you can get shot even while lying down.
Tie Tang knew that even if he was not in Longyuan City, the Qingshui County Sheriff would probably find other reasons to embarrass him.
You can’t rely on mountains, but you can’t rely on water, so you have to rely on yourself!
"Inspector Zhao, I wonder if Tie has been cleared of suspicion now?"
If you don’t solve this problem, talking about other issues is useless, and you can’t get involved at all.
Zhao Mingzhe looked at Tie Tang meaningfully and remained silent for a long time.
"What's going on with you? What's wrong with you?" Wang Andao was a little anxious.
Although he didn't know what the letter said, he knew it wasn't a good thing from the look on Tie Tang's face.
After glancing at Wang Andao, Zhao Mingzhe finally spoke.
"Basically no problem!"
"Zhao has read the iron catcher's file, plus his past deeds, and... If Wang Lingshi comes forward, Zhao will not be able to give you this face.
But..."
Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by Tie Tang: "Master Zhao, if Mr. Tang died underwater...
Then the adults are also suspected of committing the crime!
Even because of your cultivation, your suspicion is much greater than ours."
Tie Tang's words were not shocking and he would not stop dying. He didn't want to be controlled by others, so he simply dragged Zhao Mingzhe into the quagmire.
The hall was as quiet as still water for a moment, and the air was filled with strange gunpowder smoke.
Thumb! Thumb! Thumb!
There were footsteps outside the hall.
"Sir, the Inspection Department sent an official document through the Qinglong Zhenxun Formation. It is stamped with the seal of the Chief County Police Officer and marked to be forwarded to the Chief Police Officer of Yuncheng."
Zhao Mingzhe's expression changed slightly, he looked at Tie Tang, and was about to respond...
The sound of rapid footsteps was heard again outside the hall.
"Sir, a Xing Ming from the You County Supervisory Office came and said that he wants to arrest Tietang!"
