Chapter 19 Guiyi Square, White Horse Lane (2)

The key to being a person is to have self-knowledge.

Su Dawei did not think that he had any domineering spirit.

The plot of the tiger's body trembling and the heroes from all directions coming to worship is not something that anyone can do. In the Chang'an County Government, it is about qualifications and connections. Relatively speaking, ability is not the first choice, the key is to handle the relationship properly.

If it was his dead father, no problem.

But Su Dawei is not good, let alone Su Sanlang has been dead for several years and the tea is cold when people leave. Who will give him face?

At this time, it is most important to make a fortune in silence, and never be the first to be a bird.

Not to mention that this is Chang'an, a world where people and demons coexist in strange ways. He is not qualified to control the situation.

Because of the Shangsi Festival, the Chang'an County Government today is very quiet.

Most clerks have holidays, so there are only a few people on duty in the yamen.

Jiang Mohe took a few bad people to the cabin next door to play money, and Su Dawei was the only one in the government.

This also shows that Jiang Maha is still influential among bad people.

He is playing with money, whether he wins or loses, one thing he does is to admit his gambling and accept his loss.

It is precisely because of this that the bad guys are willing to play with him, including officials from other departments in the county government, and they are willing to contact him. How could Su Dawei compete with him after many years and how much money has been used to cultivate the influence?

Sitting alone in the public hall, Su Dawei was bored.

So he took out a simple homemade charcoal pen from his deer-skin pocket, then fixed a piece of paper on a wooden board, and sat there, doodling casually. His head was a little empty, and the pen was flying, which was completely subconscious.

When he stopped writing, he was stunned again.

On the drawing paper in front of me was a black cat.

Su Dawei didn't know why he drew such a cat, but...

The cat, squatting, looked a little ferocious.

It seems that the cat that killed Weishan? But it also looks like the cat I saw on the gable wall of Lingbao Temple.

In my mind, the images of the two cats came one after another and changed. Later, they were extremely strangely combined into one.

That's right!

Su Dawei sat up straight and looked at the black cat on the drawing.

That cat is that cat!

Su Dawei is now sure that the black cat that appeared in Lingbao Temple was the black cat that killed Weishan.

But why did the black cat appear in Lingbao Temple?

A flash of inspiration flashed through Su Dawei's mind. However, the inspiration disappeared so quickly that before he could react, he disappeared. He sat motionlessly, looking at the black cat, his eyes flashing, thinking...

"Is Jiang Maha here? Is Jiang Maha here?"

Outside the government, there was a sound of footsteps.

Su Dawei looked out and saw a man hurried in from outside.

"Where is Jiang Maha?"

"Jiang Shuai..."

Su Dawei didn't recognize the person, but he also felt that the person looked familiar.

He quickly got up, but he didn't know what to say. Could it be that Jiang Mohe was playing money in the cabin next door?

"Shishuai Jiang is out."

The visitor frowned and showed an unhappy look.

He said in a deep voice: "There was a series of thefts in Baima Lane, Guiyifang, and Yang Bantou and the others have gone to check it out.

However, the county magistrate felt uneasy, so he asked the bad guys to come and help. Jiang Maha came later and asked him to send someone to go."

"clear."

After the man passed the message, he hurriedly left.

Su Dawei showed joy on his face, and he quickly walked to the next hut and knocked on the door.

In the hut, Jiang Maha's face was flushed, and it seemed that he had won money.

"Serial theft?"

After hearing Su Dawei's relay, he raised his eyebrows and said, "Since Yang Bantu has gone, why do you have to send someone out again?"

There is a clear division of labor in this yamen.

Wuhou belongs to the police; Kuaishou and the bad guy are both criminal police.

Functionally speaking, Kuaishou is responsible for ordinary cases, while bad people belong to the serious case team, which specializes in solving some major cases.

"I don't know, the man came in a hurry and left after he ordered."

Jiang Maha's eyes swept over the bad guy in the room and said, "Who are you going?"

The bad guys were in a hurry to bet, and when they heard Jiang Maha's words, they all turned their heads.

"Or why, let Xiao Su go."

A middle-aged bad man smiled and said, "Serial theft cases are not a big deal."

I guess the county lord asked us to cooperate because Wei Shuai was killed, so he was more careful. Since it was a helping, I just thought Xiao Su would go there. He has been a bad guy for almost a year and has some experience. I guess this little thing won’t make him difficult.”

After saying that, the bad man said, "Xiao Su, how about it, thank you for your hard work?"

Jiang Maha felt it was reasonable, but he didn't want to give orders directly.

After all, Su Dawei's tenant is the guest of the county magistrate. He became a regular and bad handsome man, and he thought that Su Dawei would go and say something nice. Such a good weather is rare and it is better to spend time in the public hall than to be busy. If Su Dawei is dissatisfied with this and says something bad to the tenant, it will be in trouble for Jiang Maha.

It is difficult to do good things, but it is just a word.

Jiang Maha said: "Xiao Su, what do you say?"

Su Dawei hurriedly said, "Jiang Shuai and everyone are busy. Don't ruin everyone's interest. Why don't let me go?"

"Okay, since that's the case, you go.

You don’t have to pay attention to Yang Bantou. Just go and see the situation. If nothing happens, you can come back. Yang Bantou knows how to deal with such things, and you just go through a formality when you go there.”

"I understand the humble position."

Jiang Mohe felt that Su Dawei was a sensible person, and his smile on his face was two more points.

"Then you are resigning first."

Su Dawei withdrew from the cottage and returned to the public hall. He picked up the deer-skin bag and slapped it across his body. He picked up the horizontal knife again and walked out of the county government. Yang Bantou had already taken the people to Guiyifang, and Su Dawei dared not delay it. On the way to Guiyifang, he took out the small horn crossbow, held it at his waist, and blocked it with the deer-skin bag.

At this time, the entrance of Baima Lane on Guiyifang was in chaos.

The official who lived here came back from an outing and found that he had encountered a thief at his home.

More than one person was stolen.

Six of the seventeen households in the entire Baima Lane were stolen.

The key is that four of these six households are officials. This is not a trivial matter. The stolen officials immediately notified the Marquis of Wu from Guiyifang. The Marquis of Wu quickly blocked Baima Lane and notified the county government constable.

Yang Bantou, whose name is Yang Yizhi.

He stood at the entrance of the alley with Di Renjie and smiled: "It's just a theft case. The county magistrate is too nervous. Why do you need bad people to come? Such cases can be solved in a short time. They can't do anything, and they are tired of the husband coming."

Di Renjie said: "I just haven't seen such a scene before. I'm a little curious. Yang Bantu has troubled."

"It's not intrusive, it's not intrusive."

A dozen Kuaishou entered Baima Lane and began to investigate.

Di Renjie and Yang Yizhi stood outside the door of a family, chatting with interest.

Yang Yizhi also knew that Di Renjie was the guest of the county magistrate Pei Xingjian, and seemed to have been entrusted by Pei Xingjian to investigate the Yuzhen case. He naturally would not neglect the people he valued. When working in Chang'an County, Yang Yizhi knew very well that he should not offend others. Even if Di Renjie followed him, it would make him feel troublesome. But he would still agree and would not express dissatisfaction.

"Yang Bantu, do you have any clues about the murder case in West City two days ago?"

"ah?"

Su Dawei hasn't come yet, and Di Renjie is not easy to act.

He casually asked about the murder he saw in the West City a few days ago, but Yang Yizhi was stunned.

"I happened to be in Xishi that day and saw Yang Bantou dealing with the body."

"Oh, what Langjun is talking about the case of Niu Er being killed?"

“That’s right.”

“There is no clue yet.

Niu Er is a local rascal who is idle and does not do his job properly, and has also provoked many people. I guess he was killed by someone. But so far, there has been no evidence that several suspects have proved that they are the murderers, so there is no progress in the case.

Langjun, do you recognize Niu Er?"

"I don't recognize it, but I'm a little curious when I think of this."

"Well, the murderer is very clever and he is very cruel in his attacks. He killed him with one knife.

The key is that it rained that night, so many clues were not covered. Now I can only look for needles in the sea and slowly look for clues."

"Drunk with one knife? This is a master."

"Mr. Lang, what do you mean?"

Di Renjie laughed and said, "When I was looking through the files these two days, I accidentally saw the record of Niu Er's murder. This man, Kong Wu, is powerful, proficient in horns and has good skills. That night, according to his companions, he did not eat too much wine, which means that when he left the restaurant, he was in a state of soberness, right?"

“That’s right.”

"Under such a situation, he was killed with a knife.

The murderer must be much more skilled than him. Moreover, his property was not lost, which means that the murderer was not killing his life for money. He was not killing his life for money, and the murderer was a master... You might as well start from his past grievances and check it out, and maybe there will be clues. Maybe, he had offended someone that made the murderer attack him so fiercely."

"Well, my husband said it is reasonable."

The two were talking, and Su Dawei rushed over.

"Ami, why are you here?"

"Jiang Shuai has other businessmen, and there is no one else in the yamen, so I asked me to come and cooperate with Yang Banto."

"Are there any other business?"

Yang Ban's mouth curled, revealing a sarcastic look.

Who is Jiang Maha? Yang Yizhi knows the most.

Before reporting the case in Baima Lane, Yang Yizhi saw Jiang Moha and others hiding in the hut to play money. It was probably because he was in a hurry, so he sent a coward to deal with the matter. But this would be fine, and he would not expose Jiang Moha to avoid meeting him in the future. Sending a coward to avoid the trouble. He didn't want a bad person to steal his limelight.

"You are here, accompanying your husband, and I still have to investigate the case."

"I understand the humble position."

Yang Yizhi claimed the crime to Di Renjie again and left in a hurry.

Seeing Yang Yizhi walking away, Di Renjie said, "Ami, what should I do next?"

"have no idea!"

"I don't know what it means?"

"The only clue left by Wei Shuai is the place name Baima Lane. If a bad person breaks in and searches directly, it is likely to anger the officials living here. So I want a name that can come out openly. On the one hand, it can avoid alarming the snakes, and on the other hand, it can avoid the dissatisfaction of the officials here. We can't afford to offend them."

Di Renjie smiled slightly, showing admiration.

"Since that's the case, let's go."

Su Dawei and Di Renjie, one after another, pretending to be nothing, and investigated from house to house.

"This is Ma Zhanjun's home and he lost a box of jewelry."

"This house is the residence of Zhang Sizhi of Dali Temple. He is on duty at Dali Temple today, so I am not here."

"This family's surname is Sun, and it is a local family."

"This one...hey, what does this one do?"

Di Renjie walked in front, and Su Dawei followed him, introducing the residents of Baima Lane one by one.

Previously, the shopkeeper of Zhao's shop gave Su Dawei a detailed list, and the residents of Baima Lane were on that list.

However, when they walked to the door of a family at the bottom of Baima Lane, Su Dawei suddenly stopped.

"What's wrong?"

"There is no mark on the map given to me by Manager Zhao."

"Can he forgot?"

"I don't know, maybe it is."

Di Renjie thought for a while, turned around and waved to a Wuhou on the roadside.

The Marquis of Wu was stunned and quickly walked up to him, bowing and saying, "What are the instructions for your husband?"

"Do you know this family?"

Wu Hou glanced at the closed door and thought for a while and said, "This family's surname is Bai, and it seems to be from Goguryeo, mainly dealing with medicinal materials. He bought goods outside for more than half a year. There was only one old slave in his family, who was also from Goguryeo.

But he is deaf and dumb, and rarely goes out on weekdays. I guess he doesn't know that there is a theft here."

Di Renjie frowned and turned his head to look at Su Dawei.

Goguryeo? Deaf and dumb?
