As soon as this name was spoken, the entire government office fell silent.
All the detectives, no matter how old they were, no matter how many cases they had handled, they all looked at the golden-robed catcher holding a folding fan with fiery eyes, their faces full of admiration.
"See the Golden Catcher!"
Everyone saluted again, but this time, it was much neater than before, and the voice was much louder. Every word was true and sincere.
As big as the Ming Dynasty was, with two capitals and thirteen provinces, there were some golden-robed arresters, all of whom were talented people. However, when it came to fame, they were not even worthy of carrying the shoes of the people in front of them.
Jin Jiuling is recognized as the number one master of the six gates in the past century.
Some people say that this is because of high martial arts skills, but more people think that it is because of high ability to solve crimes!
He joined Liumen at the age of thirteen and spent more than twenty years in it. He grew from a little-known little catcher to the current chief arrester of Jinling. South of the Yangtze River, Liumen is known for his
For respect!
No one is dissatisfied, just because in the more than twenty years since he joined the yamen, no matter how big or small the case is, as long as it comes into his hands, there is no case that cannot be solved.
No matter how difficult it is, no matter how high the opponent's martial arts skills are, as long as he takes action, the case will definitely come to light, and the criminal will definitely be arrested!
This name has been resounding in the world for more than 20 years, and the man from Hulong Villa also admires him very much. It is said that he intends to promote him to be the chief arrester of the six sects, and take charge of the entire six sects!
It can be said that these policemen in Gusu City have grown up listening to the legendary deeds of the golden-robed head catcher in front of them, and their admiration for him is self-evident.
As for Mo Li, his eyes looked a bit strange.
Jin Jiuling, I never expected that the envoy from Jinling City would be him!
In the original work, this guy is not a simple character. Even Lu Xiaofeng suffered a lot at his hands and lost all his confidante.
Jin Jiuling glanced at everyone with a smile, and did not take Mo Li's small offense into his heart.
As a young man, it's normal to have a bad temper. A little assistant manager would not put him in his eyes at all. He might have died during the handling of the case.
He said: "Tell me, what happened just now that you want to report to the general office?"
Wang Qidao: "For your information, my lord, an hour ago, Xiao Mo, the head catcher, was assassinated. We summoned six people to prepare for a strict investigation of the murderer. Unexpectedly, Zhang Haoyuan and Zhang Jinyi disappeared without a trace. A brother saw him after the assassination hour."
Heading out of the city gate, we are doubtful... doubtful..."
Seeing him hesitating, Jin Jiuling suddenly closed his folding fan, and his expression changed: "How brave, you dare to commit murder in my six-door area!"
This is a slap in the face of Liumen!
He said coldly: "You suspect that the murderer is Zhang Haoyuan, don't you?!"
Don't look at his smiling face just now, but now his face is downcast and his aura is so scary. Everyone present is trembling with fear, and no one dares to speak.
Wang Qi gritted his teeth and said: "We are just suspicious. After all, Zhang Jinyi is out of the city at this time, and his behavior is indeed suspicious."
"He is definitely not a murderer!"
Jin Jiuling denied it and said: "He left the city to pick me up. I received the letter from you yesterday. While I was flying pigeons to reply to you Zhang Jinyi, I was speeding up my horse and galloping here under the starry night. Who is Jiang Cai?"
Jiang Cai felt nervous, wondering what Jin Jiuling was doing by calling his name at this moment.
He took a step forward and saluted cautiously: "Master Jin, I am Jiang Cai."
Jin Jiuling looked at the gray-haired old detective in front of him and said: "Jiang Cai, you can be considered an old man in the sect. You have been in the sect for most of your life. Why are you so confused? People in the underworld like the Snake King do whatever they say."
, Xiao Mo is a newbie and is ignorant, and you are also making nonsense, how can you take what a gangster says casually seriously?!"
It’s over, officials protect each other!
Jiang Cai's mouth was filled with bitterness. Just as Jin Jiuling said, he was an old man in the family. How could he not know that a few casual words from underworld leaders like Snake King could not be regarded as real evidence.
However, the Snake King's situation at that time did not look like he was telling lies.
Jin Jiuling, on the other hand, insisted on Zhang Haoyuan's innocence without even conducting a basic investigation. The water involved is deep...
In a daze, he seemed to see the position of the assistant manager, getting further and further away from him...
"Humble job...humble job..."
Just as he was about to say a few words of humiliation, he suddenly heard a young voice in his ear: "Master Jin's words are wrong. We still need to check whether they are true or false."
Jiang Cai was stunned, almost thinking that he was hearing hallucinations. How dare anyone question Jin Jiuling's words?!
He raised his eyes and followed the voice, and what he saw was a handsome and heroic face, it was Xiao Mo, the head catcher.
He only heard the other party say: "As long as we capture the Snake King and confront him one by one, it will not be difficult to tell whether it is true or false."
Li Qiye was confident that as long as he was present, the Snake King would have to tell the truth even if he didn't want to tell the truth!
"It's too late!"
Suddenly, a slightly out-of-breath voice came from outside the door. Everyone took a closer look and saw Zhang Haoyuan walking through the door with a gloomy look on his face.
This normally majestic gold-clad head catcher was injured at the moment, his gold-clad uniform was dyed dark red with blood, and his complexion was frighteningly pale.
His face was pale and his steps were sloppy. It looked like he had been seriously injured. Even the sword at his waist was a little twisted and deformed, as if he had been struck by a heavy weapon.
Jin Jiuling frowned and said, "Master Zhang, why were you so seriously injured?"
Zhang Haoyuan coughed twice and replied with a low expression: "Your Excellency, I was ordered to go to invite the Snake King. However, I was assassinated by a thief at his home. Although I tried my best to resist, I still... still failed to protect the Snake King.
he died……"
No one present knew about Mo Li and Jiang Cai's investigation of the Snake King yesterday, so when they heard several of them repeatedly mentioning this underworld leader, they were all confused, especially since Zhang Haoyuan was dressed in gold and his martial arts was definitely top-notch in the world.
, he couldn't even protect a gang leader, which shows how terrifying the perpetrator is.
"The Snake King is dead?!"
Jin Jiuling's pupils shrank, his face was as gloomy as water, and a terrifying aura spread from him. Everyone present felt a chill all over their bodies and couldn't help but shudder. They all looked at it with awe in their eyes.
he.
Everyone knows that this famous six-door god catcher is already full of anger!
"So brave, really brave. You are blatantly trying to embarrass our Six Doors!"
Jin Jiuling's tone was cold, and he looked around the crowd and said: "Zhang Haoyuan, you lead everyone present to look for clues for me. If there is no progress within three days, don't blame me for being rude to you. Go and give it to me now."
check!"
Everyone agreed and then walked out of the government office under the leadership of Zhang Haoyuan.
Mo Li was still immersed in the news of the Snake King's death, and there was a bit of chill in his heart. It had nothing to do with the level of martial arts, but the ruthlessness of the mastermind behind the scenes.
At this moment, Jin Jiuling said: "Little Mo arrests the head, but Jiang Ban will stay here for a while."
People quickly walked out.
In the lobby of the government office, only Mo Li, Jiang Cai and Jin Jiuling were left.
Valley
Jiang Cai was very worried. Jin Jiuling seemed to be protecting Zhang Haoyuan, so what would happen to him and Mo Li, the two people who caused trouble for Zhang Haoyuan?
If I had known earlier, I wouldn’t have taken Little Mo to catch the snake king yesterday!
He was filled with regret, while Mo Li looked calm.
He doesn't care whether the person is arrested or not, he is just looking for someone.
If Jin Jiuling really takes the opportunity to remove him from his post, it really means that this matter has something to do with Jin Jiuling. After all, he died as soon as he came to the Snake King, and he excused Zhang Haoyuan. No matter how he looks at it, he can't get rid of the suspicion.
"You two, don't take what I just said to heart."
For no apparent reason, Jin Jiuling suddenly changed his smiling face. He opened the folding fan in his hand and fanned it gently, which felt a bit like a spring breeze.
He smiled and said: "Xiao Mo, the new boss, dared to investigate the snake king and other gangsters who have been entrenched for many years. His courage is commendable. Jiang Bantou has been working hard for the six doors for more than 30 years. He has worked hard and made great achievements. Both of you are mine.
The talents of the Six Doors, as for the talents just now..."
He shook his head and chuckled, saying: "Zhang Jinyi is the chief arrester of Gusu City after all. If everyone doubts and investigates him at will, where does his authority lie, and how will he be able to control his subordinates in the future? I hope you two don't take it off.
.”
Even if Mo Li had known that Jin Jiuling was not a good person, he couldn't help but have a good impression of him. With this method, it's no wonder that such a young man climbed to such a high position. He is the number one master of the Six Doors in a hundred years, and he really deserves his reputation.
.
Jiang Cai also felt relieved.
He said: "Your Majesty, your words are serious."
Jin Jiuling added: "In the case of the snake king's murder, I will keep an eye on all the details. If Zhang Haoyuan really did something to cheat, I will never forgive him, but you two must keep it secret and do not expose it to others."
Tell us what the Snake King said yesterday, otherwise if it is found out that they are not related, Zhang Jinyi will be in big trouble."
Both Li Moli and Jiang Cai responded honestly.
Jin Jiuling nodded and said: "The Snake King's confession yesterday also involved Butcher Wang. He is closely related to the file fire case, so I would trouble you to bring him back for interrogation. As for the required manpower, you two can do it yourself."
Dispatch among the six doors."
"Sir, this is inappropriate!"
Jiang Cai objected with an excited look on his face: "You may not know the details of Butcher Wang. His origin is very mysterious. If there are no experts in charge, just me and Xiao Mo, I'm afraid... I'm afraid...
Encountered something unexpected.”
When he thought of that slaughterhouse, his scalp went numb.
"Then I will go with you to get him." Jin Jiuling smiled.
As soon as he heard that he was going to take action personally, Jiang Cai immediately became energetic. With Jin Jiuling suppressing him, why should he be afraid of ghosts and ghosts? In the entire Gusu City, apart from the Wanmei Villa, what else is worth fearing?
Immediately, everyone dispatched the police and quickly headed towards Butcher Wang's slaughterhouse outside the city.
When everyone arrived, it was almost noon, and the slaughterhouse was located in front of them. The smell of blood could be smelled from a long distance away. The place was relatively neatly built, but under the sun, this slaughterhouse gave people a strange feeling.
This gloomy feeling, coupled with the pungent smell of blood, made everyone's hearts tremble slightly.
The policemen in Gusu City have never heard of this weird guy named Butcher Wang. He is a butcher who slaughters pigs and sheep all year round. He is very murderous. Instead of venting his anger, he enjoys it and never goes out.
Pressed on the slaughterhouse, who would want to provoke such a evil star?
Next to the slaughterhouse, there is a courtyard that also has a gloomy and bloody smell. It is the residence of Butcher Wang.
Jin Jiuling glanced at it and said, "Be careful and go in."
When everyone heard what he said, they felt relieved. With this great god sitting in charge, why should they be afraid of the Butcher King?!
At that moment, a group of police officers skillfully divided into several teams, surrounding the entire courtyard from front to back, left and right, and two skilled soldiers quietly climbed onto the courtyard wall. They patrolled carefully and did not hear any movement. They immediately did what they did.
Made a safety gesture.
Jin Jiuling nodded and said: "Break the door!"
boom!
A policeman kicked open the courtyard door, and everyone rushed in. But when they entered, they saw that everything was quiet and there was no one at all.
"Sir, there is no one!"
One person shouted loudly.
nobody?!
Jin Jiuling raised his eyebrows and said, "Let's go in and have a look!"
Mo Li followed him in. The courtyard was not big, except for a well and an old locust tree, which looked a bit eerie for no reason.
Suddenly, a policeman screamed, and everyone looked intently, only to see that the door of a small house in the corner of the courtyard had been pushed open. There were corpses one after another inside, and the fishy smell hit their faces.
!
"This is?!"
Jin Jiuling was stunned for a moment, then quickly walked in. He looked at the outermost corpse. Most of the corpse was rotten, but there were still knife marks on the white bones, deep into the bones, and in more than one place, all in vital parts such as the throat and heart.
.
"What a vicious knife!"
Jin Jiuling's eyes were solemn, and he could clearly see that the knife mark had almost severed the bone.
Li Qiye looked around and saw that there were at least dozens of corpses here, and each one had knife marks on it. The further in, the more knife marks there were on the body, and the fresher the corpses were. Especially the last few, which had been cut into pieces.
The hands and feet were separated, and the torso was cut into pieces. It was so cruel.
"This Butcher King is so murderous!"
"Slaughter all the people like cattle and sheep!"
"No wonder there are many people who mysteriously disappear in the city every year, and they must be here!"
…
Everyone was talking about it, but they were shuddering in their hearts. Who could not be afraid of this kind of serial murderer or the cruel method of dismembering his body?
"Jin Captou, what kind of martial arts is this?" Li Li asked subconsciously.
He could feel a ferocious murderous intention from the knife mark. It must be a very terrifying knife technique, but he didn't recognize it because he didn't have a deep understanding of the martial arts in this world.
"I haven't seen it either, but it must be a kind of magic knife."
Jin Jiuling frowned and ordered: "Check and see if there are any other clues left by Butcher Wang?"
At that moment, everyone turned the small courtyard upside down, but the other rooms in the courtyard were cleaned up, not even a piece of paper was left. It seems that Butcher Wang got the news in advance from somewhere and left calmly.
"Xiao Mo, you and Bantou Jiang are here to guard the corpse. Don't let it be destroyed. I will write to the Jinling General Office today and ask them to send sword masters to check it out."
Li Qiye nodded. As long as he knew the origin of the sword technique, it would be easy to find out this person's identity.
Jiang Cai felt chilled all over. So many corpses were still in the wilderness in the dead of night...
He said with a mournful face: "Jin...Jin Captou, I can't stand the cold night, let me..."
However, Jin Jiuling did not listen to him and turned around and left immediately.
