Martial Arts and Longevity: Starting from the Spiritual Beast Picture

Chapter 60 Murder
Three murder cases, a serial rape and murder case, a secret room murder case, and a local timber merchant was murdered for money.

The first two cases happened in the first half of the year, and time has passed. Only the last case happened half a month ago. Zhao Lin decided to investigate from the most recent one.

It was mid-autumn, when the crops were ripe, and open-top boats from the countryside were berthed here and there at the East Wharf of Qinghe County.

The boat is loaded with new rice, which keeps the boat very low.

Going up Hebu is a street that can accommodate two carriages walking side by side.

The sun shone, shining on Zhao Lin, Liang Song, He Qingquan and Tao Erleng and their group.

From far away, Zhao Lin could see the men with white sweat scarves on their shoulders and black belts around their waists busy unloading goods.

"Don't rush, the boat hasn't stopped yet. Ma Jiu, take a few people to the next boat..."

The supervisor waved a bamboo stick and shouted loudly.

Looking at the familiar scene, Zhao Lin felt sad and remembered the experience of moving goods with Zhou Paotou at the beginning of the year.

The two of them were so busy that they could only earn [-] to [-] Wen a day, so they squatted down at the head of the river to eat at noon, but unfortunately things were different.

Liang Song didn't know what Zhao Lin was thinking, thought he was worrying about the murder case, and said angrily: "Then Sun Zhang is really not a thing, it's shameless to dump the case on us when the matter comes to an end!"

"Why don't we stop doing it, don't take the blame, and go to whomever we like."

Zhao Lin withdrew his thoughts, forced a smile and said, "You're right, but you have to try before you're reconciled. Isn't there still seven days left?"

Liang Song sighed, "It's too hasty."

The files of the three murder cases are very rough, only some interrogation transcripts, and there are very few records about the scene, obviously no in-depth investigation has been conducted.

Zhao Lin didn't think that Song Ci was reincarnated, Di Renjie was reincarnated, and he didn't have the ability to read people's hearts.

But he has something that detectives don't: a great sense of hearing.

This is one of his hidden advantages, being able to spy on the suspect without their knowledge.

However, the suspects in these three cases have not been identified, which is quite nerve-wracking.

This time I came to the pier just to understand the situation first.

"Captain Zhao, I'll go over there and have a look."

He Qingquan pointed to the shops along the street.

As he spoke, he untied the girdle at his waist, hung it on his shoulder, and ran over quickly in small steps.

Athletic and vigorous, it doesn't look like an old man over sixty years old.

Zhao Lin knew that he was seeking benefits.

Tax collection was originally the job of officials, and most of the police officers were sent to the countryside where the folk customs were simple and honest to collect taxes.

However, the fast arresters are all warriors, unwilling to give up such a large piece of fat, so they occupy good neighborhoods with reasons such as merchants resisting taxes and gangs obstructing them.

This can be regarded as a piece of hidden income as a catcher.

After a while, He Qingquan came back with a disappointed face.

"It's over, the oil and water have been fished out."

"He Lao, what's the matter?"

After Zhao Lin asked, he found out that Sun Zhang had collected all the taxes for this year, and it was just collected this morning.

He cheated himself, and he didn't forget to get a ticket before he left. This is simply human nature.

"Very well, this account will be settled slowly in the future."

Zhao Lin didn't care about these for the time being, and decided to spend his energy on investigating the murder first.

"Master Bang, are you resting?"

When he came to the bank of the river, Zhao Lin said to Master Bang who was tasting tea.

Mr. Bang has more than 100 powerful men, who walk the streets and deal with all kinds of people, and are the most well-informed.

Since he wanted to know the situation, Zhao Lin immediately thought of Mr. Bang.

Mr. Bang turned his head and saw a young catcher talking to him. He jumped up from his chair in shock, with a smile on his face, and said, "This catcher, why are you looking for a villain?"

"Master Bang doesn't recognize me?" Zhao Lin said with a smile.

Master Bang was taken aback, and boldly stared at Zhao Lin's face for a long time, only to feel that the face was vaguely familiar, but he couldn't remember it, and hesitantly said: "My lord, are you..."

At the beginning of the year, Zhao Lin's body had not yet grown up, but now he is tall and strong, and he is completely different from before.

"My surname is Zhao. I worked with you at the beginning of the year. Do you remember?" Zhao Lin reminded.

Lord Bang opened his mouth wide in shock, and it took him a long time before he said, "Brother Zhao..."

In the middle of speaking, he slapped himself quickly, "Look at my bad mouth, why is Catcher Zhao looking for a villain?"

He didn't expect to see Zhao Lin for more than half a year, and Zhao Lin became a headhunter, and he was still in charge of the pier. He couldn't help but secretly rejoiced that he had good eyesight and didn't do anything out of the ordinary.

Zhao Lin waved his hand and said with a smile: "It's okay, I just served as the head catcher in this area, and I asked Mr. Bang to pay a pier."

Mr. Bang hurriedly said: "Zhao Butou offends the villain. The villain's surname is Tian, ​​and his name is Dabang. Zhao Butou can just call the villain's name directly."

"How's business going?" Zhao Lin asked casually.

Tian Dabang said with a smile: "Thanks to you, this year's weather is good and the business is good."

Zhao Lin chatted for a while, and then turned to the main topic: "Do you know about Chai Qihong's death?"

Chai Qihong was the timber merchant who died at home half a month ago.

The medical officer appraised that the person died at night, but the body was not found until the next morning. The cause of death was a knife in the chest, but the knife disappeared.

Hearing Chai Qihong's name, Tian Dabang said with some disdain: "I know. Once he died, the three sons were busy fighting for the family property, and the body was buried for ten days. They are really a bunch of filial sons and grandsons."

Fight for property?
Zhao Lin's heart moved. According to the file records, on the day of the incident, Chai Qihong's eldest son and second son both asked him to borrow money.

The third child didn't have a family, so he lived with his father and was at the casino that night.

Chai Qihong was so angry that he couldn't stay at home, so he ran out to have a drink, and his friends sent him home at night, but he died not long after.

"What was he like before he was alive? Did he have any enemies?"

Tian Dabang rubbed his chin and thought for a while, "Chai Qihong is still conscientious in his business, and he also takes care of his employees. I haven't heard of any enemies."

"Why, Catcher Zhao wants to investigate the murderer?"

Zhao Lin nodded, "To tell you the truth, I'm a new official and I want to do something. Please ask Lord Bang to help me find out who Chai Qihong had contacted before the incident happened, and the details of their background."

Tian Dabang patted his chest, "No problem, we don't have any other skills. There is nothing in the wharf that I can't find out."

"Thank you very much." Zhao Lin patted him on the shoulder.

Mr. Bang was slapped by him, and his bones became lighter. "Don't worry Zhao Butou, I can investigate his house in half a day."

……

"call……"

Zhao Lin stretched his limbs, lying on the plum blossom pile in a big shape, with an iron sand bag on his head, back, and waist, and kept raising his head and straightening his waist.

This is an exercise for the cervical and lumbar muscles.

The longer the tendons are, the stronger the strength is. There are many large tendons in the human body. After stretching, the flexibility and agility are greatly improved, and it can also lay the foundation for the next step of Qi training.

Zhao Lin has absorbed the spirit of the black-horned antelope, the ligaments are strong and the Achilles tendon is stretched, but the neck tendons, back tendons, underarm tendons and lumbar tendons of the trunk still need to be strengthened.

Be prepared for danger in times of peace, and martial arts is the foundation of one's life. Although he is temporarily protected by the Yamen, Zhao Lin dare not underestimate the threat of Huzi.

Besides, even if Huzi doesn't pursue them anymore, Zhao Lin is not going to let them go.

Today Zhu Huaishan told him that the Escort had sent a letter back, that their family had arrived in Changliu City safely, settled down properly, and their lives are safe now.

Hearing this news, Zhao Lin's hanging heart was finally relieved. Only when his family was safe could he deal with Huzi with all his strength.

It was getting late, and Zhao Lin practiced the stick technique for a while before leaving Liuhemen.

On the way back to the Yamen, he took a look at the houses on Shuncheng Street.

The project has entered the final stage, but the plan cannot keep up with the changes, and it is temporarily unusable here.

However, his position as a headhunter is not secure, and he may come back to live someday.

"Whoever benefits is the most suspect."

Walking on the road, Zhao Lin thought about the case of the murder of the timber dealer again, recalling what Tian Dabang said, his three sons should be suspected, but...

"Is it possible for a son to kill his father?"
