Dafeng’s Night Squad



67 Case analysis (1)

There were two counties in the capital city, Taikang and Changle.

Song tingfeng opened the file and read it. Xu Qi ‘an and Zhu guangxiu stood on the left and right, staring at the file together.

The contents of the file were as follows:

To the North of Taikang County, there was a great Yellow Mountain. The main peak was more than 1000 meters high, and the mountain range spanned more than ten miles. It was rich in limestone.

It fed the hundreds and thousands of gray households in the surrounding area.

The grey households referred to the craftsmen who harvested and produced lime.

Since the middle of the year, a demon had emerged from the river in the area of the great Yellow Mountain. It often came ashore to devour living people, and many people had already lost their lives to it.

lack of details … Xu Qi ‘an, an experienced criminal detective, made a judgment after reading the file.

This should be a case that has just been reported, so we need to investigate and perfect the case file.

Li Yuchun’s gaze swept over the three of them, and with a serious expression, he said, ” Xu ningyan, tighten your knife by two inches. The position of the gong isn’t straight enough. Tilt it one inch to the left.

….. Are you crazy? you must have late-stage obsessive-compulsive disorder. “Yes!” Xu Qi ‘an said.

As he walked out of spring breeze Hall and crossed the threshold, Xu Qi ‘an suddenly felt a lump under his foot. He naturally lowered his head to pick it up, but suddenly froze.

Silver … It was even heavier.

“Let’s go,” Song tingfeng turned his head and urged.

“Oh, okay.” Xu Qi ‘an put the silver pieces into his pocket and followed him.

……

In the hall, Li Yuchun took out the money bag from the box and hung it on her waist. She was about to leave when she suddenly frowned.

He opened the money bag and poured out a pile of broken silver. After counting it carefully, he immediately frowned.”I lost three silver coins …”

As a person who was ridiculed by his colleagues for “not getting over money,” three maces of silver was enough for him to feel the pain until dark.

The three of them met the bailiffs from the capital governor’s office outside the night watchman’s office. There were also three people. The leader was actually a woman, and the other two were slightly younger.

The capital governor’s office was also known as the government office.

The three bailiffs ‘uniforms were similar to Xu Qi’ an’s. They were black in color, and their neckline and cuffs were lined with red.

The word ‘capture’ was not embroidered on the chest, but a majestic divine beast Suan ni.

One was in the Qi refining stage, and two were in the essence refining stage … Xu Qi ‘an observed the three of them quietly.

The woman in the lead cupped her fists and said, “”Milords, I am Lu Qing. I’ve already ordered people to bring the horses to the city gate. Let’s get on the carriage and talk.”

Riding a horse was to hasten the journey, while riding a carriage was to give everyone some space to discuss matters without wasting time.

The night watchman had a high status, and the other government office’s bounty hunters were naturally shorter than them. However, although this Qi refining stage girl called him “Lord,” her attitude was neither humble nor arrogant.

A spacious carriage was parked on the side of the street, and six people could sit in it without feeling crowded.

The three night watchmen sat on one side, while the three from the government office sat on the other side.

Song tingfeng introduced himself with a smile, as well as Zhu guangxiao and Xu Qi ‘an.

“You should be familiar with this person. During the silver Tax case, he was locked up in the magistrate’s office,”

The three constables from the capital governor’s office carefully examined Xu Qi ‘an.

The female Constable who called herself Lu Qing cupped her fists and said, “”I’ve long heard of your great name.”

The tax money case was handled by the government. As the head constable of the government, she remembered Xu Qi ‘an.

At that time, I felt that this person was quite capable and repeatedly persuaded the Prefectural magistrate to recruit him to take up a position in the magistrate’s office … Seeing that Xu Qi ‘an had become the night watchman, Lu Qing sighed with regret.

Xu Qi ‘an smiled and said a few humble words, while he subtly sized up the female Constable.

It was quite rare for a woman to be an arrester.

Not all the women of the DA Feng dynasty were raised in their boudoir. For some of the women with extremely high talent, the various Yamen would give them a certain amount of cultivation.

This Female Constable was pretty, about 30 years old. Her eyebrows were thicker than the average woman’s, and she looked valiant and heroic.

Her graceful figure exuded the vigor of a female leopard. Her chest was bulging, probably because she was wearing a bra.

Speaking of which, Xu Qi ‘an finally understood why the silver Tax case was not transferred to the Ministry of Justice, but was handled by the government and the night watchman. Back then, he had felt that it was strange.

This was because Vice Minister Zhou of the Ministry of Justice and the Ministry of Revenue were exchanging glances and had an accomplice.

He only realized these details now.

“The contents of the dossiers are simple and crude, and many details are not clearly explained. The case was taken over by your government first, so let’s exchange information.” Song tingfeng said, ”

“When did the monsters appear?”

“June and July.” The female Constable’s voice was slightly misty and magnetic.

“Did anyone see the monster’s appearance clearly?” Song tingfeng asked again.

“In the beginning, the local grey households often disappeared. When the family searched for them, they found monster claw marks and blood by the river. After that, the grey households disappeared one after another, and the claw marks on the riverbank increased …

“The local village chief has gathered the grey households and cast a net in the river, planning to kill the demons. But it didn’t work, and the net was easily bitten through …”

It was amphibian! Xu Qi said in peace.

Song tingfeng frowned and asked, ” what I’m curious about is, why did you only report what happened in June and July now? ”

“The demons only ate the grey households that entered the mountain and didn’t attack the village, so the Taikang County Magistrate didn’t care at first. Only when more and more people died did they send hunters to work with the grey households to kill the monsters, but they found nothing.”

As Lu Qing spoke, she kept looking at Xu Qi ‘an, but to her disappointment, the talent who had solved the tax and silver case kept frowning and silent.

“After a few times, the county Magistrate of Taikang was no longer willing to care about it. Or rather, as the capital investigation approached, not only did he not deal with the case, but he also intended to suppress it.”

“Then why did you report it?” Zhu guangxiao asked in a deep voice.

Lu Qing was silent for a moment and said, ” the gray households don’t dare to go up the mountain to burn their ashes, but they still have to pay taxes. They have no choice but to take a detour into the mountain and avoid the river. However, something unexpected happened …

“The twenty-odd people who went into the mountains to burn the ashes never returned. The nearby grey households had no choice but to report it to the magistrate’s office.”

Song tingfeng and Zhu guangxiao looked at each other and did not say anything.

knock, knock …

At this time, Xu Qi ‘an knocked on the long bench, looked at the three people from the capital governor’s office, and asked, “”Do you have a map of the Yellow Mountain and the nearby villages?”

yes, we did. Considering that we unknown the monster’s realm, we plan to explore on our own first. We don’t want to bring the local grey households in case of an accident. Lu Qing looked at his colleague who was sitting on the side, and his colleague took out a picture book from the bag he carried with him.

Xu Qi ‘an took the map and slowly unfolded it. It was a geomancy map of the great Yellow Mountain range.

After looking at it carefully for a moment, Xu Qi ‘an said,”I have a guess, and I think I should let you know.”

Everyone in the car looked over. Song tingfeng smiled until his eyes narrowed.

The female Constable’s eyes brightened slightly. She straightened her posture and said,”Please speak.”

Xu Qi ‘an said,”it attacks the people rhythmically. In other words, it has a strong purpose.” This might not be a simple demon rebellion.”

“Why do you say that?” Lu Qing furrowed her delicate eyebrows.

“At first, it only devoured the grey households near the river. Then, it began to expand its range, spreading out from both sides of the river. Until they entered the mountains and devoured the grey-robed men. This was not just for hunting.

“First of all, the great Yellow Mountain is a River that stretches for hundreds of miles, and there is no lack of fish and shrimp in the river. Wild beasts chose their food based on their environment and not their own taste. If it didn’t lack food, it wouldn’t go into the mountains to hunt for people just to have a good meal.

“Secondly, if it’s an intelligent monster, it’ll be different from wild beasts in that it likes to eat people. It would not have turned a blind eye to the nearby villages. However, it didn’t. It only ate the grey households near the great Yellow Mountain.

According to the analysis of behavioral psychology, it’s a form of intentional driving.”

Behavioral psychology? Lu Qing pondered and said,”divide the territory?”

Without waiting for Xu Qi ‘an’s reply, song tingfeng shook his head, “”No, if it had intelligence, it would never have divided its territory in such a way. To take up a piece of land in the suburbs of Beijing was no different from courting death. And if it was just a wild beast, it wouldn’t drive away the Grey House.”

Lu Qing thought for a moment, and his pupils shrank. “Is there anything in the great Yellow Mountain that it cares about?”

The carriage fell into a brief silence.
