Chapter 54 There are visitors at night

The case was solved so soon?

Everyone was excited when they heard this, and Lu Haoshan stood up suddenly and said happily: "Let's go, let's take a look."

Dealing with these emergencies as soon as possible to prevent further deterioration of the situation and solving the case so quickly, Lu Haoshan was naturally overjoyed and immediately led people to see who was so bold that he dared to kill and set fire in Jiangyou County.

The group walked to the county government gate and wanted to greet Cao Hu, but when they saw it, they were shocked: several detectives supported each other and hung them with cloth. The headmaster Cao Hu tied the cloth with one hand. Under the fire, you can see that the bandaged cloth strip was covered with blood. It seemed that it was very injured. Another constable was carried back on a stretcher. It seemed that it was very injured. It seemed that after a fierce battle, the prisoners caught were only one of them, about twelve or thirteen years old, three children and four women, each of them were tied up by wooden shackles. The most surprising thing is that although these women and scholars were arrested, they did not speak silently, no one called injustice or crying, but just walked silently, while the injured detectives were howling and humming.

The scene is a bit weird.

As soon as the "Sir" saw the county magistrate greeting him in person, Cao Hu did not dare to be negligent and immediately took a few steps forward to salute Lu Haoshan. Unfortunately, his right hand was injured and his salute was not complete.

Lu Haoshan didn't care about these common etiquettes or not, and asked quickly: "What's going on? Why, are you hurt too?"

Cao Hu lowered his head with some shame and said, "Sir, the thief is too skilled in martial arts, and his brothers are no match for him. The other party knocked down four or five people in a few strokes. Even villains can't beat him with one move, and it's embarrassing to say."

"What's going on with these women and scholars?" Lu Haoshan's face was a little bad. He was most disgusted with the dirty things like catching good and promising. Now Cao Hu and the others can't catch people, just catch a few people to deal with the job.

"Sir, these people are all with the murderer. That person has too high martial arts skills. We are not his opponents. Fortunately, the other party didn't kill him. Otherwise, the villain would probably be somewhere tonight."

"Since you are not his opponent, how can you catch people back?" Lu Hao looked at the women and scholars and said, "Just them? You can't even fight against women and scholars?"

Cao Hu hurriedly said, "Sir, these are just accomplices and accomplices. The man is a burly man nearly seven feet tall. He is strong and has great strength. When the villain saw that the momentum was wrong, he sprinkled a handful of lime on him while he was not paying attention, and took these accomplices as hostages when he could not see things. This shocked him to retreat. Unexpectedly, a little Jiangyou actually had such a master."

No wonder they all came back in such a mess, it turned out that they had too tough ideas.

Zhang Yunhui asked in surprise: "Who made it?"

"I don't know yet. I have a preliminary understanding that they are people from the Liaodong front. However, it was very dark at that time, and the man covered his face with a cloth scarf, and he didn't know what it was." Cao Hu said with lingering fear.

In fact, if it weren't for that handful of lime powder, so many people would probably have explained where they were. After working as a yamen runner for a long time, they would have found a set of formations that suited them, such as "skills" such as ziplines, knocking sticks, and sprinkling lime, which could be said to be proficient in everything. Cao Hu knew it himself and did not have the martial arts skills like the traveler Wu Song and the green-faced beast Yang Zhi, so he often had lime powder and sweat medicine on his body, which happened to be useful this time.

"How is the situation of Baiyuan Medicinal Materials Store?" Lu Haoshan knew that the incident happened this time was Baiyuan Medicinal Materials Store. He saw fires soaring into the sky in the county government, and he didn't know how big it happened.

When talking about the murder case, Cao Hu's face turned pale and he whispered: "It's so miserable. The shopkeeper and three friends were burned to death. Even the four families living in the backyard were not spared. It can be called a massacre of family destruction. The medicinal material store was burned in a mess, but what is strange is that the precious medicinal materials are still there, and even the silver on the cabinet did not move. It was not like a murder and robbery, but like seeking revenge."

Seeking revenge?

Do these Liaodong people have such a big grudge with a pharmacy? Even if there is a dispute, at most it is to beat people and smash the store. Is it necessary to kill everyone? Such a murderous aura, how much grudge would it be? Lu Haoshan also had a headache. This was the first murder case after he took office, and the first one was a massacre of family destruction.

Zhou Dayuan whispered, "Sir, Captain Cao's wound is still bleeding. Do you think he will be promoted to the court or to be sentenced to prison first?"

"These suspects were sent to the prison first. The situation was tense. All the constables had to go to the county government to strengthen their guards and patrols to avoid the suspects having an opportunity to take advantage of them. I will be interrogated tomorrow." Lu Haoshan hesitated for a moment, and finally decided to be sent to the prison first.

Now Cao Hu and several yamen runners are injured, and now they need to bandage and comfort them. The real murderer has not been punished yet, and even interrogation is useless. It is late at night, and there are no bystanders even when interrogation is interrogation. They cannot show their prestige and cannot increase their reputation. Besides, the personal and physical evidence are not fully prepared, and it is too hasty to go to the court now.

"Yang Jiu, Feixi, put them all in prison." Cao Hu ordered loudly.

"Yes, the captain." Yang Jiu and Feixi heard this and drove the people to the prison with red eyes. This time, the murderer injured several brothers. The two of them were in a state of pain. They were ready to "reception" them after they were imprisoned, and they would have to vent their anger to the injured brothers.

Lu Haoshan heard the complaints in their words and shouted quickly, "Slowly." After Yang Jiu and others stopped, they said with a serious expression: "I know that you have a resentment in your heart, but you cannot avenge your private revenge, and you must not use torture in private, do you understand?"

These yamen runners have a torture method. Once they get angry, they can kill you. The case is not clear now, so it is not advisable to act rashly, especially the suspect is very skilled in martial arts and difficult to deal with. It is best not to cause trouble. Another very important reason is that for some reason, Lu Haoshan vaguely felt that this matter was probably related to the burly man who sold white tiger skin on the street yesterday.

"Yes, sir." Seeing that the county magistrate was so serious, everyone did not dare to rebel against his intentions, he quickly agreed.

After detaining the person, Lu Haoshan arranged for Cao Hu and others to recover from the wounded in the county government office, sent someone to find a famous doctor in the county to heal the wounded, arranged for people to patrol and guard, and comforted and praised the heroic injured constables. After promising to receive a lot of rewards, he dragged his tired body back to the room to rest. It was really troublesome tonight.

When he returned to the backyard, he heard that the kitchen had made midnight snacks for those constables to enjoy. Lu Haoshan was also a little hungry and lay on the free-standing chair and asked Liu Jinzhu to get some, while closing his eyes and shaking his mind.

After a while, the room opened with a squeak, and the sound of someone coming in, then the sound of a plate being placed on the table.

Lu Haoshan didn't open his eyes, and closed his eyes and asked casually: "Jinzhu, what should I eat for midnight snack?"

(No one answered...)

Lu Haoshan increased his voice again and said unhappily: "Jinzhu, didn't you hear it? I asked you what you have to eat?"

Still no one responded. Lu Haoshan opened his eyes wide and wanted to see what happened, but when he opened his eyes, he was shocked and jumped up from the Xiaoyao chair and shouted loudly: "It's you?"

In the room, it was not his younger brother Liu Jinzhu. A man as tall as a mountain was sitting by the full table made of rosewood. He was playing with a porcelain cup while looking at him with interest. This man was very kind-hearted, and he was the burly man who sold white tiger skin to him yesterday.

With a "crack", the burly man suddenly exerted force, and the cup was crushed by him. While putting the fragments on the table, the burly man said lightly: "Mr. Lu should not shout, otherwise he would be afraid that his face would be bad. I can easily break your neck before your cowardly men arrived here."

He had such a great force of fingers, but he didn't see him exerting force. He just pinched it casually, as if he was pinching tofu. The fingers were too scary. Lu Haoshan was shocked. He knew that this burly man was a master, but he didn't expect that he was so powerful and had already increased his vigilance. He didn't expect that he could sneak in quietly and he would have no effort to plot against him. Fortunately, with that kindness, Lu Haoshan was startled first, but soon returned to peace.

"Where is my Changsui?" Lu Haoshan was most concerned about his younger brother's situation. He just went to get midnight snacks, but now there is no one. The midnight snack was sent in by this burly man. It was obvious that he was robbing Liu Jinzhu. I don't know whether he was dead or alive now.

The burly man said lightly: "It's okay, he just fainted."

This is a little better. Lu Haoshan sat opposite the burly man, frowned and said, "You did the murder of Baekje Medicinal Materials Store, right?"

"That's right" the burly man did not deny it.

"Why?"

"It's very simple, killing someone to pay for his life."

Lu Haoshan said in surprise: "What? Killing someone to pay for his life? Who to kill?"

"A man who is more important than my life finally raised some money and bought his father, but he didn't expect to fool me with fake ones. After eating the fake old ginseng, the person I protected kicked and left like this. If he didn't kill them, it would be difficult to calm my hatred."

"There are injustice and the debt is in charge. Why do you want to kill?" Lu Haoshan said seriously: "You are eager to use silver to sell the white tiger skin. To put it this way, for a mere hundred taels, you kill eight people in a row, and your murderous aura is too strong."

"If you die, you will die. Those few cheap lives can be said to be more than death." The burly man said coldly, and as he spoke, a rebellious look appeared on his face. In his eyes, several lives were like several chicks, and he didn't care about them at all.

Lu Haoshan stared at the burly man and said, "It's so late, you sneak in here. Why? Do you want to save someone and take my official as a hostage?"

"Hostage?" The burly man was stunned for a moment, then laughed. After laughing, he said seriously: "Just like this small county government can't stop us. To be honest, for yesterday's sake, Yuan was not here to kill you, but to save your life."
