Chapter 67 Responsibilities

Feeling a strong sense of accomplishment and satisfaction in Zhao Lin's heart, he raised his knife and walked up to Chai Jie, "We have all the witnesses, what else do you have to say?"

Chai Jie bit his lip and didn't speak, turned his head away.

"Take it to the county government."

Zhao Lin waved his hand, ignored him, turned to Gao Xiaoliu and Duan San and said, "You guys go too."

"My lord, you said you would let us go."

"I beg the adults to give the little one a way out."

Gao Xiaoliu and Duan San pleaded.

Zhao Lin said seriously: "It's not that I don't count. You are the key witnesses, and you must testify in court during the trial."

"Only by making up for the mistakes can the charges be mitigated, understand?"

Both of them lowered their heads at the same time.

Bringing the evidence, Zhao Lin, Liang Song, Tao Erleng, and He Qingquan escorted Chai Jie and others to the county government.

Zhao Lin asked Gao Xiaoliu and Duan San to record confessions for Gao Xiaoliu and Duan San, signed them, and then notified the prison chief to put the three of them in prison together.

"Zhao Butou is young and promising, it's really not easy, I admire it."

He Qingquan raised his thumb and smiled authentically.

These words were not all flattery, he originally thought that Zhao Lin was pulled to top the vat, and he was afraid that he would suffer if he was under his command.

Unexpectedly, Zhao Lin was really capable, and by some means, he got the stolen goods in less than two days, which was beyond his expectation.

"Mr. He is too much, it's just luck."

Zhao Lin was in a good mood, but he didn't get carried away.

It is of course important to catch the murderer, but the whole thing is only complete when the finishing work is done.

He invited a medical officer to appraise the knife seized from Chai Jie's house.

"Yes, the blade is slender and has a small arc, which matches the shape of the murder weapon I drew according to the wound."

The medical officer confirmed that it was correct, and Zhao Lin went to the torture room to ask for a file to add the latest progress of the case.

"Mr. He, I'm not good at writing brushes, please help me write."

He Qing was old, and it was not his turn to arrest him. He often did some chores, but he was good at writing.

The two discussed to record the key events in the investigation, the confession, and the origin of the evidence.

As for the details of the investigation, such as how he found the evidence through hearing, he will not mention it.

"He Lao, you have rich experience, do you think this case can be convicted?"

He Qingquan said with a smile: "It's too much to worry about arresting the head. The iron case is like a mountain. Even if the gods come, they have to admit it!"

"That's good."

Zhao Lin felt relieved, this was the first case he handled, and it was also the key to gaining a firm foothold in the Yamen.

He went through the file again and found that the only thing missing was a motive.

Although it is the county magistrate's responsibility to adjudicate the case, he is also very curious, what is the reason for a person to do such a thing that is so insane and inferior to pigs and dogs?

Just because of family property?
Zhao Lin suddenly remembered that Chai Qihong still had a widow.

He originally planned to go to the widow of the deceased to find out the situation if there was no progress in the case, but he didn't stop when he was busy.

Now that the case has come to light, I can take the time to ask.

After sorting out the files and handing over all the evidence to the warehouse, after finishing all this work, it's time to clear the value.

Zhao Lin came to Liuhemen as usual, and when he entered the gate, he saw two new faces in the courtyard.

They are all young people aged sixteen or seventeen, with slender stature and strong physique, and they are good candidates for martial arts at first glance.

"Hello Senior Brother Zhao."

The two newcomers took the initiative to say hello.

"Second teachers... hello brother."

Zhao Lin responded politely.

Yuan Cheng came over and whispered: "They are both talented, and they have something to do with you to come to our Liuhemen."

Zhao Lin thought he was joking, "Everyone who learns martial arts depends on the master, what does it have to do with me?"

Yuan Cheng smiled and said, "Don't believe me. The fact that you have practiced bones for half a year has spread in the martial arts schools in the county. They came here just because of the fame."

Zhao Lin was stunned, "That's it, but half a year is an exaggeration, in fact it took me seven months..."

After chatting for a while, Zhao Lin walked to the practice area, grabbed two huge iron sand bags, and jumped on the plum blossom piles to practice tendons.

Because of his extraordinary strength, ordinary iron sand bags are no longer sufficient for practicing.

Zhu Huaishan custom-made two thick big bags for him to use.

A curious apprentice tried to take advantage of Zhao Lin's absence, but found that he couldn't even lift one.

The case was solved, and Zhao Lin practiced kung fu very vigorously.

After a breakthrough in martial arts, the metabolism of the body became stronger, and the speed at which the spirit beast map released the white mist also accelerated.

This further improved Zhao Lin's three special abilities: strength, speed, and hearing, which in turn promoted the evolution of his body, forming a two-way positive feedback.

……

The next day, Zhao Lin came to the commissioning room early in the morning and handed over the dossier to the commissioning officer.

"Please allow me some convenience in releasing the announcement."

When handing over the file, he put a small piece of silver prepared in advance into the opponent's palm.

This is what He Qingquan instructed him.

The contractor is responsible for arranging the release of reports and reporting various matters to the county magistrate.

Which matters come first, which matters come later, and which ones are put on hold for a later date are all decided by the contractor.

The Chengfa officer was slightly surprised, but he didn't say anything. He opened the file, saw that it was a murder case, and immediately closed it and said, "Don't worry, I'll be the first to submit it today."

He wouldn't dare to postpone such an important case even if he had ten guts, but since he has received the money, he will be the first one.

Zhao Lin said "thank you" and walked into the lobby to wait for the morning hall.

After a while, the yamen staff arrived one after another.

Standing beside Zhao Lin were Liang Song, He Qingquan and Tao Erleng, the four of them formed a small group.

Sun Zhang, Shi Dahai, Jin Liqun and other East District police officers stood at a distance, intending to draw a clear line with them.

As soon as the morning hall time came, Magistrate Liu appeared on time.

The Chengfa officer went out and said loudly: "today, there should be 320 people in each room and class, but 27 people actually arrived. Among the [-] people, five were injured and sick, and nine people who went to the countryside to urge money and food did not return. ..."

County Magistrate Liu let out an "um" after hearing this, "What are you cooking in the morning hall?"

Chengfa said: "The first one is Zhao Lin, the head arrester in the Eastern District..."

After receiving the money, the commissioner paused when he read Zhao Lin's name, "The murder case of timber dealer Chai Qihong was uncovered, all witnesses and evidence are available, and the murderer has been put in prison."

After speaking, he held the file and presented it with both hands.

"Oh?"

County magistrate Liu raised his eyebrows, and immediately flipped through the file after receiving it.

As if someone had stepped on his tail, Sun Zhang suddenly turned his head to look at Zhao Lin, followed by Shi Dahai and Jin Liqun.

Zhao Lin watched his nose with his eyes and his heart with his nose, pretending not to see.

County magistrate Liu was familiar with the case, so he skipped the previous article and checked Zhao Lin's newly added part.

"Unexpectedly, the murderer was actually the son of the deceased."

County Magistrate Liu sighed after reading, and looked down the hall, "Is Zhao Lin here?"

Zhao Lin came out, strode forward and said, "This subordinate is here!"

County magistrate Liu praised: "Your errands are well done, and the files are well written."

Zhao Lin said in a deep voice: "What is the responsibility of the subordinates."

Magistrate Liu nodded in satisfaction, and was about to speak when the chief secretary came over and whispered something in his ear.

"Just took office for two days?"

County magistrate Liu was surprised, and when he looked at Zhao Lin again, there was a sense of approval in his eyes.

"Boss Li arrests the head, you have to make good use of such talents. As for those who are full of food all day long and reserve seats to make up for their numbers, don't let them take up their seats in vain."

He said the last sentence to Li Qiuyuan.

Li Qiuyuan hurriedly said: "Tang Zun is right, this subordinate will clean up now."

County magistrate Liu glanced at the file again, "Since the criminal has been captured, let's arraign today."

The Chengfa officer reminded: "Today is not the day for trial."

The yamen only hears cases in the third, sixth, and ninth halls every ten days.

County magistrate Liu remembered that today is the eighth day of the lunar new year, and said with some regret: "Then tomorrow!"
