Magistrate Su stood up and walked over. When Xu Qing saw it, he immediately lowered his head and said, "Sir."
Su Qian looked at Magistrate Su and said: "Dad"
"Dad?" Su Qing was suddenly startled when she heard this.
Magistrate Su turned out to be Su Qian’s old father! Is there really a father who has nothing to do and lets his daughter be a policeman?!
How can you say that the county magistrate also belongs to a scholarly family, right?
Usually the lady of the county magistrate’s family does not play piano, chess, calligraphy and painting at home, but plays swords and small whips?
And Su Qian played so smoothly...
Then he noticed that Magistrate Su and Su Qian's eyes moved towards him. Magistrate Su looked at him inexplicably.
Xu Qing coughed and said: "I'm sorry, I didn't mean it. Sir, boss, you guys are talking..."
Magistrate Su glanced at Xu Qing inexplicably, and then turned his attention to the three people strung together with their wrists tied with ropes: "What crime did the three of them commit?"
Su Qian said calmly: "Stealing young children."
Magistrate Su couldn't help but widen his eyes when he heard this sentence, thinking whatever he wanted!
Then Magistrate Su County quickly conveyed the order to the court.
Outside the court, Xu Qing looked at Su Qian with a flattering look on his face and said, "Boss, you have a lot to say about what I said before, so don't mind..."
Xu Qing remembered what she said outside the palace after the poetry meeting, but she didn't expect that the person involved was right next to her and she didn't know it...
Su Qian said calmly: "I wouldn't mind if you write more scripts."
Xu Qing: "..."
At this time, the trial of the case was about to begin in the court.
Under normal circumstances, if there are no major cases in the county government, the county lieutenant will hear the case. Only when it involves major cases, such as murder and arson, will Su County Magistrate go to court for questioning.
But this time, because he happened to be caught in the crosshairs of Magistrate Su, and it was unlikely that this case would be related to his future career.
Three hours later, Su Qian walked out. Xu Qing walked over, looked at Su Qian and asked, "How is the case?"
Su Qian shook her head and said, "The three of them confessed."
Xu Qing nodded and said, "Just plead guilty."
Su Qian shook her head and said, "The crime they pleaded guilty to was not stealing children."
Xu Qing was stunned and said: "What is that?"
Su Qian said: "What they admit is that they just let these disabled children who the thieves cannot sell to beg for money, that's all. As for the thieves, they say they don't know anything about it."
Xu Qing frowned after hearing this. The difference was huge. If it was just used for profit, it would not be such a serious crime.
Those who steal children will have to live and eat for free for at least ten years, but if they just use these disabled children who cannot be sold to beg for money, there is no clear crime.
Because this thing is still very common in this era.
The big beggar robbed the little beggar and got a lot of money.
Is it considered robbery at most?
But these people also provide a place for these disabled children to live, and provide them with the food and water necessary for their survival.
In this way, the robbery will not be established.
It can’t be considered child labor, right?!
The laws of this world do not yet have the concept of child labor...
For the crime they are pleading guilty to, they can only be detained for a few days in a symbolic manner before being released...
Xu Qing asked again: "What did that little beggar say?"
Su Qian said: "The little beggar admitted that they were not the ones who kidnapped her. They took her away from the captors. As for the little beggar's hand was broken by the captors, and even if
Her identification cannot be used as strong evidence because she is too young."
Although Su Qian managed to remain calm when speaking, Xu Qing could hear the anger in her tone. What kind of person would be able to do something to such a young child?!
When Magistrate Su came out, he happened to see Su Qian and Xu Qing standing together chatting, so he walked over. Su Qian looked at Magistrate Su and said in a calm voice: "What are their charges?"
Magistrate Su sighed and said: "They have not been convicted yet. They will be detained temporarily and will be tried again tomorrow. If they are really not the ones who stole the child, they will only be detained for a few days and then released."
At this time, Xu Qing said from the side: "Sir, can you allow me to say a few words?"
Magistrate Su looked at Su Qian, then at Xu Qing, and said, "Just tell me."
Xu Qing said: "My subordinates think they are the group of people who steal young children."
Magistrate Su frowned: "How can you see that? Wait, what do you mean by that group?! They are all in the same group?! Follow me to the backyard to talk in detail."
Normally, he would have no intention of listening to a police officer's opinion, but this time it was different. This case was different. He was a police officer under his own daughter.
Moreover, this is related to his career advancement, and he is willing to understand even if it is a small hope.
Finally, why can this kid talk so much to his daughter?! It’s really unreasonable!

The three of them sat on the stone bench. Xu Qing continued the previous question and said: "I have seen something similar before. An organized theft gang is generally divided into three parts. One part is responsible for checking points, one part is responsible for stealing, and another part
Responsible for selling these stolen healthy children to remote places."
Magistrate Su seemed to think what Xu Qing said was reasonable, and nodded: "Then how can we prove that those three people are not just using these children to make profits, but are members of this gang?"
Xu Qing said: "Because they are so rich! When my subordinates and the boss caught them just now, they wanted to bribe them. The amount of silver they brought out was one or two pounds! And they also took two pieces of silver! They could take it easily.
With so much money, there is no need to let these young children beg!”
"Perhaps they just come to West Street to visit, and they are casually using the physical defects of the children to win the sympathy of passers-by and give them some money, in order to squeeze out the last bit of value of these children who cannot be sold."
The more Magistrate Su listened, the more frightened he became. After Xu Qing finished speaking, Magistrate Su thought for a long time before saying: "It makes sense."
Then County Magistrate Su sighed again: "It's a pity that they didn't plead guilty, and the court has repeatedly banned torture to extract confessions. Now that the prince is back, it's not that they will be tortured under his nose, which is very sad."
Xu Qing thought for a while and said: "Sir, I have a method. If you trust me, I can try it."
After hearing this, Magistrate Su said: "I allow you to give it a try. If you can solve the case this time, I will reward you!"
Xu Qing's eyes immediately lit up after hearing this: "What do you want to reward the villain for?"
Magistrate Su County said: "I will reward you with ten taels of silver."
After saying this, Magistrate Su felt a little regretful. If the case was solved, he would be expected to be promoted. Wouldn't it be too little to only give ten taels of silver?
While Magistrate Su was thinking, Xu Qing suddenly stood up and said, "Don't worry, sir! This subordinate will definitely be messed up!"
Ten taels of silver!
I have to write a book for a month and a half or die twice to save enough!
