Chapter 787 Major Case - Caught (5,000-word chapter)
"This is very..." Song Liang was very happy to say, "This is very good" and hurriedly swallowed the words before the last moment. This was not the right time to say this.
He organized his words again and said: "Master Qian Tong, I have already interrogated Gao Jingde, and he has already confessed the crimes committed by others, as well as the location of the wizard known as Ude."
"It's not too late to arrest the criminal. Why don't I, some soldiers from the guard station, and the police brought by Qian Tongpan go to arrest the Ude wizard. On the way, I told Qian Tongpan what Gao Jingde confessed."
Qian Minglin understood Song Liang's purpose at once. He didn't know that bodyguards still have a term of office, and he was secretly surprised: 'Why, isn't it good to be a bodyguard by His Majesty's side? Do you want to seek a foreign position?'
He didn't dare to offend a guard commander like Song Liang, so although he didn't want to be deprived of credit by Song Liang, he could only pretend to be happy and agreed: "It's good that Guard Song has already interrogated Gao Jingde. Since this is the case, it shouldn't be delayed.
Guard Song will immediately go with the lower officials to capture the Ude wizard."
Hearing what Qian Minglin said, Song Liang immediately agreed and ordered a few guards to take half of the people to escort the Gao family to the Guangzhou Police Headquarters. He then said to Feng Xishan: "Go back to the palace and report this to His Majesty."
thing."
Of course, Feng Xishan was reluctant, but he did not dare to go against Song Liang's words. He agreed and took several guardsmen who were guarding the palace to mount their horses and return to the palace.
Several more people were left in the Gao family's residence to count his family's belongings - these belongings are now the property of the Ming Dynasty. They need to count the quantities and hand them over to the provincial treasury in Guangzhou, the treasury or transport them back to the capital.
Treasury, the emperor's inner treasury.
Qian Minglin and Song Liangming gathered the remaining troops and headed outside the Great North Gate.
It was still daytime at this time, and they were very conspicuous on their way to the outside of the North Gate. Logically speaking, it was not a good time to search, and they should go there in the middle of the night. However, Song Liang had already been seen by many people when he came to inspect the Gao family early in the morning.
If they waited until midnight, they would probably have gone somewhere else, so they could only use great speed and gallop to the outside of the Great North Gate.
The group of them quickly left the city and arrived near the Great North Gate. Song Liang and Qian Minglin stopped their horses for the time being and observed the situation in this area while assigning people to search everywhere. Although Gao Jingde said that Wizard Wu De lived in his
Near his family’s tomb, but every time he met with Su Dongli and Wizard Ude at the same time, it was not at his family’s tomb. It can be seen that Wizard Ude may not necessarily live in a house near his family’s tomb, so it is necessary to comprehensively search for people in this area.
search.
Song Liang looked at this place where there were barren graves, broken coffins, withered bones, and the sound of dogs barking from time to time. Even though it was broad daylight, he still felt creepy. He was glad that he didn't have to come here to search at night, otherwise he would be in trouble.
It was so dark that not only everyone was afraid, but also the wizard probably had to run away.
Song Liang and Qian Minglin first assigned some police officers to surround the entire area, and then divided the remaining people into teams to search for different tombs in the cemetery.
While searching for the charity building near Baihua Bridge, a group of people led by Song Liang touched the bells placed by Ude.
…
…
After Song Liang finished shouting, he immediately led the people to the gate of Yizhuang. He was a little panicked but also a little lucky: Although the wizard suddenly discovered that they came to arrest him, they also discovered where he was hiding.
place, otherwise they may not be able to find the wizard before he finds them. The tombs outside the Great North Gate are so big in Yizhuang, and it is impossible for the wizard to escape.
Song Liang was thinking as he rushed to the door. Just as he was about to kick open the door, he suddenly felt something soft under his feet, and then his calf was hit hard by something. He quickly looked down and saw that
There was a small snake under his feet. The snake was not big, only about three feet long. It had black and white rings all over its body. It was a poisonous bungara snake. At this time, the snake's belly was stepped on by Song Liang, and a slender snake appeared under his feet.
His tail kept swishing, and the snake's mouth bit into his leggings.
Song Liang secretly called a fluke. This snake was obviously highly venomous. Fortunately, he had wrapped a thick leg wrap around his pants today, otherwise he would have been poisoned to death. He immediately raised his other foot and struck hard
He stepped on the ground and stamped the snake's head heavily under his feet. He crushed it harder, freed up his other foot and stamped it down again. After four or five kicks, he trampled the snake's head to pieces. He stopped only when he saw that he could no longer survive.
foot.
In this moment, the two leading soldiers rushed to the door in a few steps, inserted the dagger through the crack of the door with a skillful move; however, the door latch was not opened. It turned out that the door knocker was inserted inside, and they
I had to insert the tip of the knife into the crack of the door and pull it out bit by bit.
Seeing this, Song Liang roared: "Get out of the way!" He took a few steps back and rushed over, kicking the door. He was a martial arts practitioner and was born with great strength. He kicked the door with a "bang" sound, not only
The door latch broke into two pieces, and even the door frame shook a few times, and suddenly a yellow-skinned gourd fell from above with dirt attached to it.
Song Qingshu also rushed over a few moments ago. Just as he was about to say a word to Song Liang, he caught a glimpse of the yellow-skinned gourd rolling on the ground. He immediately shouted: "Get out of the way!" and pulled Song Liang and ran out again.
.
Song Liang was in a daze when he saw the gourd sutra being dropped, a few mud seals fell off, several eyes were exposed on the gourd's belly, and there was a buzzing sound coming from the gourd.
Now everyone knew what it was, but it was too late to run away. In an instant, a swarm of wasps as long as half a finger emerged from the gourd. These wasps were twice as big as the average Hu Feng.
, its body was black and shiny, and the yellow stripes on its body could be seen through the sunlight. It circled briefly and then pounced towards them.
Several soldiers who followed Song Liang and ran over were stung several times by the swarm of wasps in an instant. They rolled on the ground in pain and howled, and after a while they lay on the ground and stopped moving.
The swarm of wasps did not fly away even after stinging people, but flew up and down around the gourd at the gate. When everyone saw how venomous the wasps were, no one dared to step forward rashly.
But just because you can't enter through the gate doesn't mean you can't get in. The crowd surrounded the courtyard, found a place where the courtyard wall was in disrepair and was not very strong, broke down the courtyard wall, and rushed into the courtyard.
This courtyard is very large, but there are not many houses in it. Only the three main rooms look neat. On both sides are long rows of small houses that were later built and have become dilapidated. The dilapidated doors and windows are all open. When you look inside, there is a person parked inside.
The coffin with its mouth is very scary.
The soldiers of the guard station immediately dispersed to search, and Song Liang and his men were about to rush straight to the main room. Song Qingshu immediately stopped him and said: "I'll do it. I am from the Wudang sect after all, and I know more about the secret arts than you.
There are many.”
It's not that Song Liang really doesn't care about his own life, but he actually violated Yunxi's orders before and had to set an example. Now that Song Qingshu is willing to step forward, and what he said is reasonable, Song Liang has retreated to the second line.
The doors and windows of the main room are closed. If there was a commotion just now, if the demon is still inside, he must take action. Although Song Qingshu volunteered to take the lead, he actually has no idea what tricks the enemy will play. He has already seen poisonous snakes and wasps.
After that, what’s next?
Fortunately, they had already rushed into the yard and were surrounded by iron barrels. As long as the wizard was still in the room, he would not be able to escape.
Just as he was thinking about it, the soldiers who searched the backyard also came back and reported that there was nothing in the backyard, only coffins and other things.
"Fire up the smoke bomb! Get this wizard out!"
Qian Minglin, who had also walked into the yard, gave an order. Several Guangzhou policemen immediately took out round objects from their pockets, picked up stones from the ground and smashed the sash of a window in the main house.
After lighting the fire, the round objects were thrown in. The round objects were smoke bombs. The Ming Dynasty was very knowledgeable about smoke-generating firearms and they were commonly equipped in the army. After the subordinate officials were changed to police, Yunxi ordered the police across the country to also
They are equipped with a small number of muskets and smoke bombs, so they have smoke bombs in their hands at this time.
As the smoke bomb was thrown in, thick smoke billowed out from the three main rooms, and a spicy and pungent smell suddenly filled the air.
A violent coughing sound immediately came from inside, and it was very dense. Song Liang was happy for a while: the wizard was still there! But then he heard something was wrong.
At this time, Song Qingshu also came over and said: "Brother Jinming, there are more than one person in the room, at least two people. It is absolutely impossible for one person to cough such a sound."
"Perhaps he is a servant of the wizard." Song Liang guessed: "But no matter who he is, he will definitely not be able to escape."
The two of them just stood at the door waiting for the people inside to come out.
But as soon as the time for the incense burning passed, there were still a few sneezes occasionally heard in the room, but gradually as the smoke became thinner, there was no movement in the room.
"Is this what it is?" Song Liang scratched his head: "You wouldn't rather be choked to death in the house than come out, right?"
Since no one could come out, he had to go in by himself. Song Liang stayed outside the house to give instructions, while Song Qingshu slowly walked in with a few policemen wearing thick clothes. Although the police had no experience in dealing with wizards, at this time
Still better suited than soldiers to search a house.
Song Qingshu saw that the house was dark, damp, and dilapidated. It was said to be three main rooms, but in fact the partition walls inside had long been damaged. Standing at the door of the main room, you could have a clear view of the entire room. The walls inside the room had also long been moldy.
The wall peeled off, and only a few broken bricks were left on the floor. There was no furniture in the room, only some rotten straw mats thrown at the foot of the wall. I don't know what they were used for.
If there is anything else, there is a shrine on the wall of the main room, with a water and land painting hanging on it. It looks like it was newly hung up not long ago. Song Qingshu felt a little strange because it looked new, and he saw that there was nothing worthwhile in other places.
Surprised, he reached out and took off the painting, but what he didn't expect was that there was a small door behind the painting.
Song Qingshu gently knocked on the door with his gloved hands, and then kicked the door open.
Inside the door is a room, which is small but clean and tidy. The furniture only has a table, a bed and a stool. If you look closely, they are all exquisite things. But this is not important, because there is a person squatting next to the bed in the room.
This man had dark skin, and because he was curled up beside the bed, he could not see clearly his appearance. He could only roughly tell that he was of short stature and that he was wearing silk clothes.
Song Qingshu walked into the house subconsciously, pulled out the knife on his waist, and said loudly to him: "Who are you? Turn around."
After hearing Song Qingshu's words, several soldiers who followed him also came over with weapons.
Song Qingshu immediately felt that something bad was going to happen and shouted: "You guys stay where you are and don't move!" There was absolutely no way that this person was the only one in the room. They all came over and didn't let the other person who was hiding elsewhere escape.
.
But his words were still a step too late. He only heard a burst of crackling noises outside and the sound of screams. He didn't dare to go out now, so he picked up something to cover his head and lay on the ground.
The chaotic sound soon ended. Song Qingshu immediately stood up and ran to the door of the dark room. He saw that the soldiers inside the room had fallen to the ground and did not know whether they were alive or dead. He didn't care to look for a second, and rushed out of the dark room in one stride. There was a figure about to rush out of the corner of his eye.
Go out of the room.
Song Qingshu waved the knife in his hand and threw it at him. The man stepped away from the knife and ran out of the room.
The people outside the house didn't react at all these few times. When they saw this man rushing out of the house, they thought he was one of their own. Seeing him rush to the edge of the courtyard wall, they were about to climb out of the courtyard wall.
At this moment, Song Qingshu rushed to the door of the house and shouted, and everyone woke up as if from a dream. However, everyone was several feet away from him at this time, and it was too late to stop him.
Fortunately, one of the people in the yard had brought a musket and had loaded it with gunpowder and bullets. At this time, he picked up the gun and started shooting.
The man was lucky and shot the man in the arm at once; but the man was very tough and struggled to climb over the courtyard wall even after being shot in the arm.
But he couldn't run away after getting out of the courtyard wall. At this time, the person who led people to the side of the wall where he climbed was Feng Delin, who had discovered the scene of the raw material cutting case last time. He heard gunshots ringing in the courtyard.
, and saw a person climbing over the wall. Knowing that this person was one of the criminals, he went up and threw the person to the ground with a tiger pounce, and the two rolled together.
Although he didn't see the man's appearance clearly just now, he could tell that he was an old man. He felt that an ordinary old man would have broken his muscles and bones at this moment. Although this old man was not ordinary, he should have fallen into pieces.
Is it difficult to recover?
But he didn't expect that the old man's body was astonishingly flexible. He seemed to have practiced bone-shrinking skills, and he twisted around and got half of his body free.
Feng Delin had practiced martial arts before, and he had just carelessly allowed half of his body to break free. Now seeing this, he used all his strength to twist the man back three times.
The two were fighting, and they heard the sound of chaotic footsteps, and people were rushing over from all directions. The man knew that the longer the entanglement lasted, the harder it would be for him to escape, so in desperation, he used all his strength to twist his body and kick.
He kicked Feng Delin out and took the opportunity to roll out.
However, people from all directions had already rushed over at this time. In addition to seven or eight people, there were two big dogs surrounding the man in the center. When the man saw the formation, he was secretly anxious: not only was he mentally exhausted, but his arm was also wounded by a musket
He was hit, and in his current state he would definitely not be able to outrun the dog.
But he was not one to sit back and wait for death. No matter how bad the situation was, he would still give it a try. He reached out and took out a gourd, unscrewed the stopper and threw it at one dog, while he rushed towards the other.
Everyone didn't know what was in the gourd he threw out, so they didn't dare to catch it. They all took out the things in their hands and waved them around randomly. They only heard an inhuman sound, and saw the dog he had brought fall to the ground, and a small
If something is crawling on the dog's body, it must be that the dog feels that it is dead and is about to pounce on the person next to it.
The people around him immediately became afraid. To say that they were afraid of death was not necessarily that much, but they were not willing to be killed by something unknown; not to mention that this person was probably a wizard, and it would be very dangerous to be killed by such a weird thing on his body.
Scared.
Fortunately, Song Qingshu climbed out from the courtyard wall at this time. When he saw this small thing flying towards a person, he immediately took out something from his waist and threw it over, emitting a strange smell.
Strangely enough, the little thing stopped in mid-air, jumped to the ground, and stopped moving.
Song Qingshu ran over, took out a small bag from his body, and stretched out his gloved hand towards the little thing.
Someone immediately reminded: "Watcher Song, be careful! This thing just killed a dog in one go!"
"Thanks for the reminder, but I have a way to keep this little thing." Song Qingshu said.
When they heard Song Qingshu say this, they said nothing more and watched Song Qingshu put the little thing away.
When Song Qingshu put this little thing away, the matter over there was already over.
After the man threw the gourd out, he rushed towards the other dog. He stretched out his hand and several black lights flew towards the people here. Several people were caught off guard and were hit by the black light. They died without even a grunt.
Unexpectedly, everyone died. The dog was lucky enough not to be hit by the black light just now. The man wanted to run away, but the dog bit his clothes.
The man looked back and was about to beat the dog to death, but he didn't beat it to death, and beat him again. At this time, Song Liang had already rushed over with his men. Seeing that he was about to run away, he didn't care about the request to capture the criminal alive.
If he gets there, let someone armed with a musket or bow shoot at him.
He dodged a few times, but still couldn't dodge them. He was hit by an arrow in his left leg and staggered to his knees.
Song Liang seized this opportunity and asked the people who had followed him to surround the man again. The man with the bow and arrow in his hand raised his bow and arrow and pointed it at him, and the man with the musket immediately began to load gunpowder and bullets.
This man had one arm and one leg injured. Now he saw so many people pointing bows and arrows at him. He knew that he could not escape successfully, so he decided to commit suicide.
But he didn't succeed in committing suicide. Song Liang swung a wooden stick and hit him hard on the back of the head. He groaned and fell to the ground. Song Liang immediately ordered him to be handcuffed and shackled, and his mouth was closed. He finally breathed a sigh of relief.
:The criminal was finally caught.
