Ran Feize secretly carried Su Xiaopei into the yamen.
Stone Town is a small place, and the yamen is just a three-entry yard, with offices in the front and people living in the back. The township official and the five tolerance officers are all the public officials in the yamen.
These days, because of the fuss about the reward for catching the criminal, two officials from the city government also lived in this yamen. In the middle of the night, two big living people suddenly fell silently in the Yamen courtyard, knocking on the door, they were startled.
Before the two were taken down for a good trial, the man among them showed a waist card, saying that it was the entrustment of Bai Yulang's arrest and fast.
A middle-aged catcher named Liu Xiang saw it, and he knew right away that it was Ran Feize. He heard Bai Yulang tell a lot of rumors about Ran Feize, and he admired it in his heart, but he thought that such a person must be some years old, but he didn't expect to be so young.
Ran Feize met the township official, and spoke a few words of courtesy to the eldest brothers, and then turned to the topic.
He pointed to Su Xiaopei and said that the girl was robbed, and he rescued her, but the robbers disappeared. They came to report to the officials, hoping to find a way to arrest them.
When a few officials heard that the girl's house had been robbed, they were all shocked, and hurriedly said that the gangster who raped and murdered the girl had really arrived in Stone Town. Liu Xiang also shouted that he quickly sent someone to report to Bai Yulang and Qin Zhaotou.
However, Su Xiaopei shook his head and said, "The person who kidnapped me is not the criminal whose reward was announced to be caught. I guess it's probably the thief who kidnapped Miss Tang Lian."
Everyone looked at each other in disbelief.
"Did the girl see the thief's appearance?"
Su Xiaopei shook his head.
"How did the girl find out?"
"The person who stole me is completely different from the serial murderer who offered a reward to catch me, and it can never be the same person."
Everyone continued to look at each other, what is wrong with this
It seems that I understand it, but it seems that I don't understand it.
This short-haired, nondescript woman dressed like a vulgar sister-in-law, said something strange and tight.
"Miss Su's father is a well-known catcher. Miss Su was passed down by him and learned a lot of skills. Adults, listen to what she has to say." As soon as Ran Feize opened his mouth, his tone was too loud.
A famous catcher? Did she learn a lot from her own hand
Well, she said a few words of this kind to him, but she was obviously a lot more conservative. How did things change when Ran Feize said it? He said it with certainty and certainty, and he felt so serious and reserved that she almost believed it herself.
Su Xiaopei glanced at Ran Feize, he smiled at her as if nothing had happened, and in the eyes of others, he thought he was encouraging this woman to express his ideas.
Su Xiaopei grinned but couldn't smile. She turned her head to the officials and said, "My lords, I will discuss with Ran Zhuangshi."
She pulled Ran Fize aside and whispered, "The famous arresting head? The strong man has talked so much, what if the last thing is not done right?"
"That's why I was deceived by you, so helpless."
With his back to several officials, Su Xiaopei put his face down in relief. So his good life is helpless like this
Well, we can't pursue his attitude any more, or this will never end.
"Strong man, that's what I planned. Please go to Tang's house for a while, and tell Miss Tang Lian that I didn't find me, and I don't know where I went. I'm weird, I didn't say hello when I left, you don't care. Now, come and talk to her. Then let a few officers and messengers wear civilian clothes and hide outside Tang's house to watch who Miss Tang Lian will come into contact with in the two days. Man, you are probably the thief."
"Why is this?"
"I'm dead, the thief didn't catch the girl, so she will contact her again. You didn't find me, no matter what happened, she dared to contact the thief with confidence. Tang Lian was the only witness who recognized the appearance of the thief. , my death will make her feel guilty and put pressure on her, so that when you catch someone, you can break through her defenses during the interrogation."
Ran Feize frowned slightly: "Are you sure this girl Tang is really related to the thief's hijacking of you? She was also kidnapped and killed by the thief, and now her reputation in this town has been greatly damaged, and there is almost no place to live, how could she help that? The thief is doing the crime? If the wicked person comes to find her again, she must not shout around and arrest him?"
"Strong man, you believe me." Su Xiaopei didn't know how to explain it. Time was running out. If the thieves had already met Tang Lian, they would have little chance of catching someone.
Ran Feize thought about it, and finally nodded: "Okay, it's okay to trust you."
Su Xiaopei was overjoyed, and added: "Then these things, I have to trouble the strong men to tell the officials and officials that when I talk to a woman, there is no such thing as a strong man's words. They are more willing to listen to you."
Ran Feize knew that she was right, but the same thing he said was far less credible than what she said. More importantly, he would believe her shocking remarks, but others might not. So instead of using her rhetoric, it would be more useful to switch to his.
He nodded, brought Su Xiaopei over, and said to several officials: "My lord, Miss Su and Dao Ming's experience of her robbery are really dangerous, but the culprit who offers a reward, like a beautiful young woman from a rich family, is indeed quite different from Miss Su. ."
It's true, but it's really unpleasant. Su Xiaopei pursed his lips, ignoring these, and carefully looked at the reactions of the officials.
Ran Feize continued: "I once met Miss Tang on the mountain and rescued her, and today I am on the mountain to rescue Miss Su. From the perspective of Xia, the way the murderer committed the crime is more like robbing Miss Tang. The one. This thief is rampant and has committed crimes many times. The girl is weak and weak, and this time it is up to the adults to bring him to justice to reassure the people."
Su Xiaopei really wanted Mr. Strong to applaud. He was analyzing, showing weakness, and wearing a high hat. This man is too good at talking.
A few officials were obviously also very useful, and all nodded.
Ran Feize said again: "Since the adults are willing to be the masters of the people, they will feel at ease. Miss Su has just returned from the robbery, and the thief has acted rashly, so it is a good time to find her. I just made a plan with Miss Su, adults listen. Can I listen to it?"
The officials naturally wanted to listen, so Ran Feize went on to say: "Miss Su was chased by this thief and fell into the water. The thief thought she was dead, and that made Miss Su escape. The thief didn't catch anyone, so she was naturally unwilling to do so. , he will definitely go back to town to make an idea. Miss Tang Lian escaped from him, and he is naturally unwilling. Being stimulated by this, the thieves are likely to attack Miss Tang again. I beg adults to get involved and dress in civilian clothes. Dress up, stalk outside the Tang family house, and if Miss Tang comes into contact with a suspicious man, she will bring him back, perhaps there will be gains."
The township official listened and nodded in response: "This also makes sense. When Miss Tang disappeared, we searched for many days and could not find any clues. Now we have only one attempt."
Ran Feize said again: "Then Miss Tang has no memory of the time of the robbery, maybe she can't remember the appearance of the villain. If the villain knew this, and approached Miss Tang to deceive her, I was afraid that Miss Tang would not scream for help. Please pay more attention to adults. In Miss Tang's current situation, ordinary men will not approach her, so... "
He didn't say it to death, but Liu Xiang understood it, and said, "I understand. Anyone who is suspicious, I will bring them back for a first trial."
Ran Feize nodded: "I will go back to the mountain and go around again. The bandit has just kidnapped people up the mountain, so there should be some traces left. I will look for it, and I will have a proof."
In this way, the big guy has finalized the details again and acted separately.
Ran Feize went to Tang's house and told Tang Lian the news of Su Xiaopei's disappearance. Tang Lian lowered her eyes and felt uneasy, and thanked her seriously. Looking at her expression, Ran Feize found it hard to believe that this matter had something to do with her. But he was more curious about where Su Xiaopei's unequivocal confidence came from.
The official changed his attire, and Lei Ye sneaked into the vicinity of the Tang family to monitor.
The township official placed Su Xiaopei at home, and his wife took care of him, and told the family to keep their mouths shut and not to leak.
After Ran Feize left from Tang's house, he returned to Boss Song's tavern as if nothing happened.
The night passed quickly and nothing happened.
At dawn, Ran Feize told Boss Song to leave and went to the mountain. The officials guarded the watch carefully, and thought that it would take a few days of hard work, but unexpectedly, it took only half a day for things to progress.
At noon, after each family had eaten, those who should take a break and those who should go to work went to work. Tang Lian suddenly went out of the house, took her clothes and went to the back of the house to wash and scrub. After a while, a trader came over with a load, and when he saw Tang Lian, he looked around vigilantly, then stopped by the well,
Tang Lian looked at him, then she held the basin, stood up and moved to the man to talk.
This situation is quite suspicious. The noon was quiet and no one was there, and the merchant rarely came out to buy or sell at this time. Even if he came out to sell at this time, he didn't see the merchant shouting, and he just carried the burden and went straight to the well. And that Tang Lian's expression is really weird.
Although several officials could not guess the connection between this scene and the meeting of the thief and the robbed girl, but the suspicion was really suspicious, so they swarmed up, captured the man who turned and was about to flee, and took Tang Lian back to the yamen.
At this time, Ran Feize also came back. He found some footprints near the river on the mountain, and a series of footprints that looked like they had been chased. They thought it was the bandit who robbed people and Su Xiaopei. He measured the size of the footprints, and compared the foot size of Su Xiaopei and the salesman, and they were all the same.
This rural official has confidence in his heart, and immediately joins Liu Xiang to judge the slut.
But the trader insisted that he came from out of town to sell goods. He passed by the well and saw a woman, so he wanted to sell some things out. He didn't know what robbed people or not, and he had never seen Tang Lian before. He ran away when he saw the officials, because the officials did not wear official uniforms, and he thought they were wicked people who robbed the goods.
Tang Lian was flustered, but she also said that she had never seen that guy before. She used to talk to him because she wanted to ask him what kind of fun he was selling.
The township official and Liu Xiang couldn't find any flaws. Although they felt that both of them had some problems, they just couldn't say what was wrong. They can't convict someone just by matching the size of their footprints. Besides, Tang Lian was the only one who had seen this bandit, but Tang Lian had been frightened and forgotten, so what should I do
Su Xiaopei couldn't show up because he was still pretending to be dead. After listening to Ran Feize's retelling, she asked Ran Feize if there was something strange about that slut? Like her with short hair and a different accent.
Ran Feize was stunned for a moment, Su Xiaopei was relieved, this person was definitely not Cheng Jiangyi.
She asked Ran Feize and the township officials to leave the businessman alone and try Tang Lian alone.
According to what Su Xiaopei said, Ran Feize insisted that Tang Lian did not lose her memory. She remembered what the bandit looked like and everything that happened on the mountain.
Tang Lian shook her head and denied it.
Ran Feize also said that Su Xiaopei was helpless and only regarded Tang Lian as his only friend, but in the end he was also killed by the bandit and died unexpectedly. If Tang Lian could not identify the murderer, how could Su Xiaopei be reconciled under Huang Quan.
This incident was hitting Tang Lian's weakness. She burst into tears and broke down emotionally. She was not surprised at all that Ran Feize said last night that Su Xiaopei had disappeared, but today she said she was dead. Tang Lian's reaction surprised the officials. She seemed to be sure that Su Xiaopei was no longer alive.
But Tang Lian cried bitterly, but she did not want to speak again. No matter whether the official was intimidating or coaxing, and using all her means, she would never speak again.
At this time, Tang Lian's family and neighbors rushed outside the yamen, and everyone started making trouble.
A good girl's family has suffered disasters and disasters. Although there is a lot of gossip, the people in the village are very affectionate, and the villagers still sympathize with her. Now that I have been detained by the government for no reason, there is no reason to justify it. Could it be that after talking to a businessman, he became an accomplice of the wicked
Tang Lian's mother cried and fainted outside the yamen. Seeing this, the neighbors became more and more indignant, shouting louder than ever, and the men were even more excited with sticks.
Although the township official is one of the parents' officials, this matter is indeed somewhat unreasonable, and it is naturally impossible to suppress the scene. The officials saw that things were different, but they couldn't come up with a reason. There was really no way to make things like this. In the end, the township official sighed heavily and said that the only way is to let people go.
At this time, Ran Feize said, let's listen to Su Xiaopei's thoughts again.
Listen to that woman's idea again
Although the officials were suspicious, they entered the village official's house with Ran Feize and found Su Xiaopei.
Seeing Tang Lian's situation, Ran Feize was more than half convinced of Su Xiaopei's judgment. He explained the matter to Su Xiaopei in detail and asked her, "What do you think the girl should do?"
Su Xiaopei was waiting for news in the backyard. She thought about the possibility of the matter. Now it seems that the matter is imminent. She looked up at everyone's expressions, then looked at Ran Feize, and asked, "The strong man can trust me?"
Others are not important, as long as Ran Feize is on her side, she believes that everything else can be done.
"Letter." Ran Feize only gave her one word.
Su Xiaopei smiled.
It's "faith", not "let's trust it."
Su Xiaopei stood up, stroked the folds of the cloth on his body, took a deep breath, and straightened his spine: "Then, let me do it. I will let her tell the truth."
