Chapter 54: Peer hostility
Guan Wei took a breath of air conditioning. It is not difficult to hear from Fang Song's introduction that this is a murderer, and he is a very experienced veteran. In ancient times, there was no fingerprint, no DNA, and no surveillance. How to catch such a veteran depends entirely on logical reasoning, and the difficulty is too great.
And what if this is a misunderstanding? As long as he leaves Xiongzhou or even leaves Xiongzhou City, where do you go to find him?
Thinking of this, Guan Wei was very angry, and there was still a 10-day deadline, so where can I find someone here?
Fang Song also saw Guan Wei's fault: "Captain Guan just tries his best to investigate the case. I will take care of whatever happens."
"Mr. Fang, I dare not make any promises about this matter, but I will do my best to capture it. My master has been pursuing it for so long, what are you gaining?"
Fang Song shook his head and sighed, "It's ashamed to say that, I didn't find anything at all. It's ashamed to say that, we don't know how this thief came in and out? How could he understand the situation at the victim's house so much?
These three victims are all rich ladies. They usually don’t go out of the door. They don’t know how the criminal got their information and how he entered the girl’s show building.
For example, Miss He Yueru, there are two close-fitting maids downstairs, and they don’t hear any movement upstairs, and there are no signs of struggle and fighting in the room. They are just killed in such an unknown way. We even doubt whether it is a ghost or a god.”
Guan Wei frowned and said, "I have never heard of ghosts and gods who harm people and humiliate the bodies of the victims. This must be a person with great sin."
While discussing the case, the two of them ran forward quickly. In less than two hours, Xiongzhou was under the city. As a border city, Xiongzhou has a high wall and a thick wall. It is stationed with 20,000 border troops. It is the first line of defense to resist the Liao Kingdom.
Fang Song went to the city and shouted loudly. The guards recognized Si Kou as joining the army. Seeing that he was back, he quickly opened the city gate.
Fang Song took Guan Wei to beat Ma Rufei to the prefecture yamen first. Three criminal cases occurred in a row, especially the daughter of the prefect He Lingtu was also killed. Who dared to rest in the yamen runners in the prefecture yamen? They went in and out like hardworking ants.
"Captain Guan wait, I will report to the magistrate and the grandson." Fang Song also felt heavy pressure when he arrived here, so he asked Guan Wei to wait at the door and stepped into the yamen himself.
Guan Wei agreed and stood outside the door and looked up at the majestic state yamen.
"Bang!" Guan Wei was just looking up to see the surrounding scenery for a moment, but he didn't expect that he was blocking his way and colliding with someone.
Guan Wei felt a huge force coming, and quickly resisted it with all his strength. Then he heard a bang, and the person who hit him was bounced out.
"Ouch!" The man fell out of the first-rate side with a thud. He shouted and jumped up from the ground and shouted, "Who are you? How dare you spy on the state yamen?"
When Guan Wei saw that the people surrounding him were all yamen runners, he hurriedly said, "Everyone, misunderstanding! Misunderstanding! Guan Wei is the captain of Yichuan County and is ordered to assist in the investigation of the rape and murder case in Xiongzhou."
"What?" These constables looked at the young man in front of him in surprise. Is he 20 years old like this? Can he be a constable? You won't be scared crazy when you see the body, right?
"I don't care who you are? Get out of here quickly. This is not where you should be." A burly man opposite looked at Guan Wei like a mountain.
Guan Wei saw this guy frowning, and the constables were standing on both sides of him. He thought that this one was the Xiongzhou captain Jiang Hong.
Regarding this Jiang Hong, he heard Fang Song say that this person is an old constable, with rich experience and has repeatedly solved strange cases. However, this time he has not taken the criminal and was scolded by the governor He Lingtu every few days, and he has not been beaten to the point of being beaten. He is inevitably a little more angry.
Guan Wei laughed and said, "Why should Captain Jiang be so angry? No matter what, we are all fellow men, just to catch thieves. We kindly come to help. Your attitude is not conducive to cooperation!"
"Cooperate? I suspect you are the thief! Head up and grab him and interrogate him!" The man who was knocked down just now jumped up and shouted loudly with his fingers Guan Wei.
Jiang Hong hesitated for a moment, and he also knew that Fang Song was going to invite a genius captain from Yichuan County, Guan Wei. He just didn't know if he was the one in front of him. It shouldn't be so fast, right? He sent someone to invite his senior brother, but he still has no information at all.
After hesitation, his constables were wrong, thinking that their leader agreed, so he rushed up with a huh.
The constable was just an ordinary person. Guan Wei didn't take him seriously. He saw his iron chain coming over, flashing to the side, and then reached out to grab the iron chain.
Guan Wei suddenly pulled forward, and the man could not resist his strength. He was dragged and snatched in. Guan Wei shook his hand and threw the other party's iron chain back, then he slapped the man and locked him up skillfully.
Experts can tell if there is any problem. When they see Guan Wei's attack, Jiang Hong has basically confirmed that this person is a constable and his methods are too proficient.
"Stop!" Jiang Hong meant to drink his subordinates, but the time he chose was not good, and it was the time to stop his opponent.
The constables thought it was their heads to support themselves, and without saying a word, they pulled out their weapons and continued to rush up. When Guan Wei saw that it was impolite to not be polite, he did not hesitate to pull out his waist knife with a sound.
"Stop! What are you doing?" Fang Song ran out of it at this moment, and saw that he was about to fight, and shouted angrily.
When the constables saw Fang Song, they quickly put away the weapons in their hands. Fang Song looked at them with a pale face and said, "I can't catch thieves, but there is no way for them to fight. Why is it so exciting to fight? Jiang Hong, is this your subordinate? It really disappoints me!"
Jiang Hong had a meal for no reason. He didn't dare to resent Fang Song, but he kept all the resentment on Guan Wei.
"Catcher? Humph! In a small place, you can claim to be a capture by chance. This time we will see how you are embarrassed! And my senior brother is coming, and when he comes, let you know what a capture is."
"This is just a misunderstanding for joining the army. Please forgive me if we have offended you. God will forgive me if you have any offense."
Guan Wei smiled and said, "I dare not be a genius, and I still need more advice from all colleagues. Lord Fang, he was a villain just now, so please don't blame me."
Fang Song then snorted coldly, "Summoner, please come in and meet! Jiang Hong, come with you!"
"Yes!" Guan Wei and Jiang Hong agreed, they bowed and bowed, and then followed Fang Song into the prefecture yamen.
Guan Wei and the others arrived at the lobby and saw the governor He Lingtu. At this time, He Lingtu was no longer as elegant as before, with a gray face, as if he wanted to eat people.
"Sir, the captain of Yichuan County Pass has arrived." Fang Song took a few steps forward and bowed.
Guan Wei and Jiang Hong stepped forward and bowed, "Greetings to the magistrate, the minister."
He Lingtu had no smile on his face, and he snorted coldly, "Jiang Hong, do you have a clue about this case?"
Jiang Hong was so embarrassed. Who knew that this adult would not give him any face!
"Hmph! The country raises you to catch thieves and thieves, maintain peace for one side, see how you do it? Are you worthy of your clothes, the expectations of the people, and the emperor's kindness?"
This scolding made Jiang Hong's head sweat blew. Guan Wei couldn't stand it. He was also a constable and knew the difficulty. Who dared to say that this case would definitely be solved?
"Sir, I don't think Captain Jiang is willing to see this. Although I just heard of this demon, I can also conclude that this person is a recurrent criminal and has some hidden experience. He must have destroyed the clues he left behind. It is very difficult to catch him. It has been delayed in solving the case and cannot be completely blamed on Captain Jiang."
As soon as these words came out, Fang Song was shocked. What was going on with this guy? How could he risk confronting Lord He to defend Jiang Hong? And wasn’t he hostile to Jiang Hong at the beginning?
Jiang Hong was also stunned and looked at Guan Wei in surprise. He Lingtu's face was not good-looking. He glanced at Guan Wei and said, "You are the constable Guan Wei from Yichuan County, right? Fang Song told me that you are a genius detective. Then tell me that this case will be solved in a few days."
Although Guan Wei excused himself, Jiang Hong didn't appreciate it, or he couldn't bear such a lot of pressure and needed someone to share it with him. Now let's see how Guan Wei handles this matter?
Guan Wei smiled and said, "It is extremely irresponsible for anyone to say that he can solve the case. Any case has its uncertainty and may be difficult to control. I can only say that I will do my best to do it and never let criminals get away with it."
"No, the case must be solved within ten days. This is my last request for you. If you can't do it, everyone will tattoo their faces and exil thousands of miles."
This is what an official said in ancient times. Sometimes it is more useful than the law, and sometimes it has no reason to say.
"Yes!" The three of them sighed and had to agree first.
Guan Wei and the other two sighed, then retreated.
"Catcher Guan, you're implicated this time."
"Master Fang is so polite. I really want to accept this challenge." Guan Wei's eyes flashed with light, and he looked very excited.
