Martial Arts and Longevity: Starting from the Spiritual Beast Picture

Chapter 68 Motivation
"Chai Qihong also has two sons and a widow. If they want to attend the trial, please issue a few summons tickets for them to come."

Magistrate Liu continued to give instructions.

"Yes!"

Zhao Lin responded, and suddenly said: "Tang Zun, I have a small suggestion."

"Oh?"

County Magistrate Liu glanced at Zhao Lin with interest, leaned forward and asked, "What suggestion?"

"The law and order in Dongcheng is chaotic this year. Murder cases have occurred frequently but have not been solved. The people have long held grievances..."

Sun Zhang twitched. Zhao Lin's words were equivalent to pointing at his nose and scolding him for being incompetent. He could not help but give Zhao Lin a hard look.

Zhao Lin ignored him at all, and registered with the county magistrate himself. The bullshit boss ignored him and continued: "This is my dereliction of duty, but it also affects the reputation of Tang Zun."

Magistrate Liu nodded, "Then what is your suggestion?"

Zhao Lin said in a deep voice: "This dynasty established the country with filial piety, but Chai Jie used his son to kill his father. Heaven will not tolerate it!"

"My subordinates suggested posting notices and distributing leaflets widely. Anyone who is willing to enter the hall to listen can let them in."

"Only in this way can we promote filial piety and set the record straight, and at the same time let ordinary people know the majesty of the county government and deter lawbreakers!"

County magistrate Liu knew the elegant meaning when he heard the string song, and immediately realized that this was an opportunity to increase his popularity and build his personal reputation.

Although he has been in office for a full year and has issued many decrees, he feels that he has achieved remarkable achievements, but the people at the bottom know little about it.

Once he overheard the conversation of the people, and he still used his predecessor's name when calling the county magistrate, which made him deeply depressed.

The evidence in this case is conclusive, and there is no risk of blundering. Opening a public trial is undoubtedly the best publicity to use the case to make a name for yourself.

Thinking of this, County Magistrate Liu squinted his crescent eyes, and smiled on his face: "It's very good, it suits me very well. Let the ceremony room and soap class get this matter going."

The head of the ceremonial room and the head of the soap class stepped forward and responded: "Yes."

After the morning class was over, Sun Zhang walked up to Zhao Lin with his hands behind his back, and said with a smirk: "Captain Zhao is really good at it, and he solved a murder case just two days after he came here."

"It's all thanks to Captain Sun's cultivation." Zhao Lin said without changing his expression.

Sun Zhang stroked his short beard, "Since you are so capable, the other two murder cases must be easily caught, right?"

Zhao Lin said neither soft nor hard: "The two cases happened for nearly half a year, and there has been no progress in the hands of the predecessor, and the subordinates are not gods, so they can only do their best."

Sun Zhang's face changed, and he walked away.

He Qingquan shook his head as he watched, thinking that the young man was still too aggressive and didn't know what would happen if he offended his immediate boss, but he hoped that he wouldn't hurt himself as a pond fish.

Zhao Lin didn't take it seriously, he was about to take the blame, so why pretend to be a grandson?
I have experienced this kind of thing in my previous life, and I endured it myself, so forget it in this life!
After leaving the county office, Zhao Lin arranged for He Qingquan and Tao Erleng to inform Chai Ren and Chai Yi of the news of tomorrow's promotion, and he and Liang Song came to the pier.

Tomorrow's public trial, he was worried that too few people would come and he would lose face, so he asked Tian Dabang to help make up the number.

When Tian Dabang heard that Chai Qihong's case had been solved, he asked in surprise, "Have you found the murderer?"

Zhao Lin said deliberately, "Who do you think the murderer is?"

"Who?"

"Chai Jie!"

"Ah... his third son."

Tian Dabang was so surprised that he couldn't close his mouth from ear to ear, and excitedly said: "It's really devoid of conscience!"

"Brother Tian, ​​the county government will open the trial tomorrow. You can listen in as you like, and help find twenty smart men to go over and build up your momentum."

Zhao Lin took out two taels of silver and said, "I won't let my brothers make this trip in vain, it's a fee for lost work."

Tian Dabang declined and said: "Catcher Zhao is being polite, I will listen to such a big matter even if I don't give money."

Zhao Lin smiled and stuffed the money into his hand, "A yard is worth a yard. Let me ask you something again. Where does Chai Qihong's widow live? I have something to ask her."

Tian Dabang didn't dare to neglect, so he asked his supervisor Lifu to inquire.

A middle-aged man said: "The catcher is asking about Chai Qihong's successor, right? Her family name is Zhou, and she lives in Qianniu Lane, the third one from the right."

After finishing speaking, he sighed, "Being widowed at a young age, and having an unborn child, I'm afraid life will be difficult after this."

Qianniu Alley is in the north of Dongcheng. It is said that when Qinghe County was not built, the fairy God Niu passed by here, so it got its name.

When Zhao Lin and Liang Song came to Yanniu Alley, they saw garbage everywhere and sewage flowing across the street, and they had nothing to do with immortals.

dong dong dong...

The two stepped forward and knocked on the door.

Soon, a middle-aged woman opened the door and glanced out, "Who are you?"

Liang Song said with a smile: "We are the county policemen, Mrs. Chai Zhou is at home, right? Let's ask her about something."

The middle-aged woman noticed the official uniforms on the two, opened the door to let them in, and walked quickly into the room by herself.

After a while, a woman with a woman's hair bun came out, stood under the eaves and gave a salute, "The widow has seen the catcher, the house is messy, you two, please talk about it in the yard."

The woman was ordinary in appearance, only about twenty years old, and looked about the same age as Chai Jie, her abdomen was slightly protruding, and she was already a little pregnant.

Zhao Lin saw that the small courtyard was not big, but it was quite tidy, and guessed that the house might not be as messy as she said, and they were not allowed to enter the house, it should be out of defense between men and women.

The three sat down in the yard, and Zhao Lin cut to the chase and said, "The murderer who killed Chai Qihong has been found, and it's Chai Jie."

Chai Zhou said "ah", and then his expression quickly returned to calm, as if he had expected it.

Zhao Lin asked: "Did you know that the murderer was him?"

Chai Zhou shook his head and said, "I don't know, but it's reasonable to think about it now."

"How to say?"

Zhao Lin wanted to know Chai Jie's motive for committing the crime, so he couldn't help asking.

Mrs. Chai Zhou lowered her eyes and said in a low voice: "My husband and his first wife have three sons. The eldest son and the second son are perverted and don't suit his wishes. When they grow up, they will drive out to live alone."

"Only the youngest son, Chai Jie, is handsome and smart, with a sweet mouth. He was deeply loved by his late husband and stayed by his side all the time."

Zhao Lin thought that since this was the case, when Chai Qihong passed away, most of the family property would fall to Chai Jie. Why did he make such a bad move?

Can't wait?
Chai Zhou continued to say: "Chai Jie is addicted to drinking, sex and gambling, and often asks his late husband for money. My late husband refused to listen to his repeated warnings, and the relationship between the two became more and more rigid."

"One time, Chai Jie lost hundreds of taels of silver in one night, and my husband was so angry that he wouldn't give him a single penny of the family property."

"Chai Jie gave me a hateful look at that time, and I still remember that look."

"I went back to my mother's house to say that I was unwell and asked my family to take care of me. In fact, I was afraid that he would harm me. I didn't expect..."

Speaking of this, Chai Zhou looked sad.

Zhao Lin and Liang Song looked at each other.

Suxian was pregnant, and Chai Jie felt threatened, worried that the family property would fall to him after giving birth to a son.

Zhao Lin stood up and took out a summons ticket from his pocket, "Chai Jie will be tried tomorrow, so you should come out too."

"Yes, my lord..."
