Martial Arts and Longevity: Starting from the Spiritual Beast Picture

59 - A Big Pot

"Don't go, let's discuss something."

After the chief arrester's meeting, Sun Zhang left all the arresters in the eastern district to continue holding a small meeting to discuss the tasks assigned by the superior.

"Zhao Butou, this is the map of the east of the city. Which area do you want to be in charge of?"

Sun Zhang took out a map, spread it out on the table, and asked Zhao Lindao with a smile.

There were three teams of arresters in Dongcheng, Sun Zhang led one team himself, and the other two head arresters Shi Dahai and Jin Liqun each led a team.

Now that Zhao Lin has joined in, the area should be re-divided, and a piece should be given to him.

Zhao Lin knew that he had just arrived, and he didn't have the capital to pick and choose, so he said in a deep voice, "Captain Sun, you are polite, Zhao is new here, and everything is according to the arrangement."

Seeing this, Sun Zhang was very satisfied, and said with a smile, "That's okay. How about this, the wharf is the largest oil and water, so let's assign it to Zhao Butou, how about it?" He drew a circle on the map with a pen.

Zhao Lin glanced at the map and couldn't help feeling suspicious.

When he was a Lifu, he traveled all over the east of the city, and he was very familiar with the pier area.

The area planned by Sun Zhang happened to include the wharf and a large area of ​​commercial and residential areas. It can be said that it is the most prosperous area in the Eastern District.

But why did you assign such a good location to yourself?
The head catcher Shi Dahai, who was standing aside, shouted: "The head catcher is biased. I asked for it a few times and didn't give it to me. When catcher Zhao came, I would give it to him."

Another head catcher, Jin Liqun, also said: "That's right, the merchants in the wharf are only collecting taxes, and there are hundreds of taels of silver every month, just leak it..." When he said this, he felt a slip of the tongue, and immediately covered his mouth.

Zhao Lin felt that they were singing the oboe, his face remained calm, and his thoughts turned quickly.

Ships outside the pier come and go frequently, people are dense, and compared to other places, it is chaotic, which means that murders are prone to happen. He had heard about it when he was working as a force.

Reminiscent of the county magistrate and chief arrester's repeated urges to investigate and handle the case, Zhao Lin has roughly guessed why Sun Zhang gave this piece to himself.

"This is for me to take the blame."

Zhao Lin felt inexplicably annoyed when encountering such a thing when he first arrived.

But can I refuse?
Sun Zhang is his immediate boss, if he didn't obey the arrangement when he first arrived, he was afraid that he would be criticized for disobeying his boss and being incapable of doing things.

Even if they are not driven away, the next days will definitely be difficult.

"Captain Zhao, how are you doing?"

Sun Zhang asked with a smile on his face.

Zhao Lin thought about it again and again, and finally agreed, "That's it, thank you Chief for your attention."

Seemingly relieved, Sun Zhang held his shoulders and said affectionately, "It's easy to say, brother Zhao is young and promising, as long as he works hard, his future is bound to be limitless."

As he spoke, he suddenly slapped his head, "By the way, you are in charge of this jurisdiction, and I will hand over the relevant files to you, so that you can get familiar with it as soon as possible."

"Come here, fetch the file."

The underlings quickly went to the execution room to borrow files and piled them on the table.

"Brother Zhao looked at it slowly, and if you have any questions, just come to me later."

Sun Zhang said hello, and went out with Shi Dahai, Jin Liqun and a group of arresters.

Only Zhao Lin, Liang Song and two other police officers who had just joined were left in the room.

Zhao Lin didn't have time to pay attention to those two people, so he pushed the files down and took out the bottom few files to check.

Things really happened as he expected: the three murders all happened this year.

Liang Song understood now, "Isn't this cheating us?"

Zhao Lin didn't speak, let go of his ears and listened to the voices outside.

Sun Zhang and the others didn't speak all the way, until they walked out of the Yamen, Shi Dahai turned his head and said in a low voice: "Chief arrest, can you let that stunned young man who just arrived investigate the case?"

Sun Zhang curled his lips and said, "Didn't he want to punish the strong and eradicate the evil? Let him do it. What, why don't you come here?"

Shi Dahai hurriedly shied away: "I'm sure I can't, I'm just worried that if the deadline is up, what should I do if the case can't be solved?"

Sun Zhang snorted and said, "Of the five cases in the Eastern District, three are in his hands. Who do you blame?"

Shi Dahai and Jin Liqun looked at each other. In the other two cases, each of them was the other, and Sun Zhang had already prepared to take him out.

If Zhao Lin didn't come, it's probably the two of them who are responsible.

Jin Liqun worried: "What if this kid has a background?"

Sun Zhang spread his hands, "It's good to have a backer, and he can take the matter down. If the backer is not strong, then he will take the blame and kick the matter away."

Shi Dahai and Jin Liqun praised in unison: "The chief arrester is wise."

They thought Zhao Lin couldn't hear it, but they didn't know that he heard it verbatim.

Zhao Lin was speechless.

On the first day of my arrival, I was greeted with a big pot. If I can't do something humiliating, I will go back in disgrace. How can I explain to Master?
However, I am not without support. My super-strong hearing may be useful in handling cases. As long as I complete a case, I can get out of trouble...

"Tsk tsk tsk, these cases are not easy to handle."

While Zhao Lin was thinking, someone was talking beside him.

He looked up and saw an old man and a strong man standing in front of the table.

The old man was flipping through the file, and the voice came from his mouth.

These two people are Zhao Lin's new subordinates.

Although Zhao Lin didn't know these two people, he knew their details clearly.

Just now Mr. Li asked each of the three chief arresters to nominate one person under his own name. After the three chief arresters mentioned their names, many people discussed it.

After listening to the general idea, Zhao Lin also remembered the origins of the three people.

The old man's name is He Qingquan, he was originally a policeman from Xicheng.

His beard and hair are all white, and the wrinkles on his face are layered one after another. He looks not 70 years old, but at least 65 years old.

He only shed his skin three times, and he didn't even practice skinning. Considering his age, he might not be able to fight against ordinary people.

The brawny man is a candidate provided by the Chief of Nancheng. His real name is Tao Zhuang, and he is known as Tao Erleng.

He was at the bone training level, and his combat prowess was quite good, but when he was practicing, he used too much force and accidentally swung the hammer on his head, making him stupid.

This is how the nickname Er Leng came about.

After becoming stupid, Tao Er Leng became impulsive and irritable, jealous of evil, and beat the suspect violently at every turn, destroying the scene.

Once he met two gangsters who molested women on the street and beat them to death and the other maimed, causing an uproar.

The former county magistrate wanted to deal with Tao Erleng severely, but he was afraid that the arresters would be discouraged, so he had to be imprisoned for half a year and released again.

But since then, no one dared to use him again, for fear of causing trouble.

The chief arrester in Beicheng District was even more extreme. The person he sent was Tao, the nephew of the county magistrate.

Zhao Lin knew that people would not send capable generals, so he could understand.

But what about an old man, an idiot, an air man?

He shook his head secretly, read the files of the three murder cases carefully, then raised his head and asked the old man He Qingquan: "Mr. He, you just said that these three cases are not easy to solve. What is the reason?"

Because of He Qingquan's old age, he has always been unpopular among the police. He was a little flattered to hear Zhao Lin call himself by an honorific title.

"Returning to the arresting head, there is no witness at the scene of these three murders, and there are so many people at the dock, it is too difficult to find the real culprit."

"But the head catcher is young and promising, so it's easy to catch it, and the old man just feels it, so don't pay attention to the head catcher."

Zhao Lin thought he could have some insight, and was a little disappointed after hearing it. He turned his head and saw Tao Er Leng flipping through the file with a serious look on his face.

"Tao Zhuang, did you see anything?"

Tao Er was short of breath, his eyes were red, "Catch the murderer and beat him to death!"

Ugh……

Zhao Lin rubbed his forehead with his hands, got up and said, "Let's go, go out and walk around."
