Chapter 2: Crisis
Yu Kun went to bed late and got up early because he woke up from hunger. Yu Kun searched all the utensils in the house and only found a handful of rice. He quickly washed the rice in a clay pot and put it into a big pot.
He added water to the pot. Then he lit the leaves with a fire sickle and filled the bottom of the pot with the little firewood and sticks he had at home. The rice porridge was finally ready. He filled a large bowl with a black porcelain bowl and held it with both hands.
Put your mouth close to the edge of the bowl, turn it around and drink slowly. Breathe in the heat while drinking.
Finally filling his stomach, Yu Kun rubbed his stomach from top to bottom with his hands, and then breathed a sigh of relief. Yu Kun straightened up his official uniform, took an iron ruler and prepared to go to the Yamen as an errand. He walked to
Under the wooden bridge that he passed last night, Yu Kun took a closer look to see if he could find any clues. However, there were many people passing by, and the place that was attacked last night had long been changed beyond recognition.
Yu Kun knew that the robbers were seeking revenge, but it was difficult for him to solve the case on his own. The robbers had already fled after they succeeded. The robbers thought "he" had been beaten to death, so Yu Kun thought that at least he was safe for now.
After walking south for another quarter of an hour, we entered the county government area. Some shops began to appear on the street, and the people coming and going on the street were just like what Yu Kun had seen in paintings before.
Yu Kun thought for a while, it would be nice to go back to living such a leisurely life hundreds of years ago. Most of the streets were breakfast shops, rice noodle shops, fabric shops and grocery stores. Yu Kun didn't have the intention to browse here, he strode towards the
He was walking to the county government office on Zhongchen Street. He was still a stone's throw away from the county government office. Suddenly, Yu Kun's sleeve was pulled by a man. Yu Kun looked up and saw that this man was Yu Kun's only friend in the county government office in ancient times. His nickname was
The "stubborn donkey" Lu Wang.
"Yu Dalang, the head catcher Liu Kai is looking for something wrong with you and wants to kill you. You didn't want to think of a way, but almost made a mistake. Are you deliberately making yourself uncomfortable?"
"Brother Lu, it's not the time yet! Besides, you have to come in order. I'm at the back, so it should be fine. Have you passed the meal?"
"I've already agreed. Come in quickly!" Upon hearing this, Yu Kun quickly entered the county government office and stood behind a dark row of police officers. As soon as Yu Kun stood firm, he heard Liu Kai call his name. He lightly
He responded softly and saw Liu Kai staring at him with dagger-like eyes. Yu Kun quickly lowered his head. This Liu Kai had a broad mouth, flat nose, hawk-like eyes, and a short, stiff beard. He was not a kind person at first glance.
Yu Kun thought for a while, Yu Kun in ancient times was quite pitiful. He was a bachelor without a father or a mother. To say that he was honest and honest would be better to say that he was dull and taciturn. He liked to say anything that offended people. But Yu Kun devoted himself to
In terms of his career as a police officer, since he had cut off the money of the head catcher Liu Kai two or three times, he and Liu Kai had become enemies. Liu Kai regarded him as a thorn in his side and wanted to get rid of him as soon as possible.
After Liu Kai had finished training all the arrests, he was preparing to relieve Yu Kun when assigning errands to remove this thorn in his side. At this time, the drum for the promotion of the county magistrate Wu Bing sounded. Liu Kai, the head arrester, and Zhang Hao, the county magistrate
, Lord Bo Wensanduo and County Lieutenant Jiang Shuangyong immediately went to the government office to listen to the training. The county magistrate Wu Bing received the order from the government office, and a shocking murder and theft case occurred in Wu Bing's jurisdiction.
The area under Wu Bing's jurisdiction is densely populated and has convenient commercial ports, so there are many Hu merchants here. Every spring, the merchants who come here bring gold, silver, jewelry and local specialties to the Central Plains in exchange for silk and porcelain. They usually live and eat in time-honored shops.
"Wanbaozhai". Just last night, five of the six Hu merchants who came here to do business together were killed, one was seriously injured, and all the gold and silver items were looted.
The missing gold and silver items were worth thousands of taels, so the government government issued a death order to the county government, giving it a deadline of half a month to solve the case. Otherwise, the entire county government officials, big and small, would be dismissed or relegated. No matter how big or small the officials were, it took a long time to get the official position.
After many twists and turns or spending some money, the black gauze hat is the only way for them to make a fortune, so everyone does not want to throw away the black gauze hat on their head.
After the county magistrate Wu Bingxun finished speaking, he waved his hand and entered the inner office. The county magistrate followed him into the inner office. The county lieutenant Jiang Shuangyong stayed to see the specific tasks assigned by Liu Kai to the police officers. The county lieutenant was in charge of criminal cases in the county.
and civil disputes. If this murder case cannot be solved, he and the head catcher Liu Kai will definitely become the biggest scapegoats.
Jiang Shuangyong simply scolded him to show his presence. Then Liu Kai assigned tasks one by one. The tasks assigned to Yu Kun and Lu Wang were naturally to search for clues at the crime scene and find the murderer. If nothing was gained in one day, Liu
Kai would take the opportunity to scold and teach him a lesson. People in the officialdom would use this method of pretending to be self-serving, and Liu Kai was naturally familiar with it.
However, the modern Yu Kun is not worried. He is not the brave and resourceful person like the ancient Yu Kun. Although the Yu Kun who came from time travel has not been exposed to modern criminal investigation, he has liked reading detective novels since he was a child. With the knowledge of modern people,
Consciousness, solving a case in ancient times was not only a piece of cake, but after reasoning and analysis, it can be regarded as a matter of course.
The policemen were about to disperse and go about their own business. At this time, the county magistrate's followers walked up to the county lieutenant Jiang Shuangyong and informed the county captain that the government would send people to the scene of the accident soon to give lectures. The county magistrate ordered everyone to come forward.
Go and wait in line. At this time, the county magistrate Wu Bing came out of the inner office and got on the official sedan. The bearer trotted towards the place of the accident. The principal, the county magistrate and the county lieutenant also quickened their pace and followed.
Liu Kai personally led the team to follow him. He had a bad feeling in his heart. It might be difficult to solve the case this time and it would be difficult to keep his own secret. Liu Kai actually overestimated himself.
In the eyes of government officials or higher-level officials, the Pincatou is no more than a dog running errands. When he is happy, he throws a few bones in; when he is unhappy, he kills the dog and eats its meat.
Yu Kun followed the police team to Wanbaozhai, the area where the crime occurred. The streets in front and back of the place were guarded by police officers, and idlers were not allowed to pass or enter. Naturally, Wanbaozhai in Nuoda was also closed, waiting for the case to be solved.
Business can be reopened after the ban is lifted. Entering the Wanbaozhai compound, Yu Kun carefully observed the surrounding environment. The Wanbaozhai compound is large enough to accommodate hundreds of carriages, and there are seventy or eighty houses around it that can accommodate
Four to five hundred people stayed.
Wanbaozhai has an independent food, wine and food supply room. Residents can eat in the private room, or they can have the food delivered to their rooms by the store staff. Near the west wing of the courtyard, there are five corpses lying flat.
They were all dressed the same way, and they looked like they were not from the Central Plains. From a distance, Yu Kun saw that these people looked similar to people in modern Arabia.
Wu Zuo has examined the corpses. There were no obvious internal injuries on these five people, and they were confirmed to have been drowned. This is basically consistent with the scene at the time of the incident. At that time, the five corpses were all in the smelly ditch outside Wanbaozhai.
The only Hu Shang who was found alive was found inside. His body was covered in scars and seemed to have been bitten by wild dogs. He is now being treated at the hospital.
Yu Kun had no official position and was light-hearted. He was a small policeman. If the case was solved, he would receive only a few copper coins as a reward. If the case was not solved, the most he would receive would be a few slaps. So the dismissal from office and loss of life had nothing to do with him.
, he has no official position to dismiss. The case cannot be solved, and it has nothing to do with him being a small policeman, so he will not lose his life.
Detective Liu Kai estimated that he was too busy taking care of this difficult case and no longer had the energy or opportunity to resolve himself. Yu Kun felt like laughing just thinking about it. It seemed that God was helping him. What Yu Kun had to do now was to actively
