Nightwatcher

The Beijing inspection, which follows the Beijing official evaluation system, is inspected every three years, with the "four grids" and "eight methods" as the promotion and promotion standards.

Unqualified officials are demoted or even demoted to the people.

It's about the future, which is easy to understand. The other party has another distant relative who is involved in the matter, and when he turns around to impeach him, he is cool.

Changle County has a backlog of homicide cases, which can be grounds for criticism by political opponents.

"How did you die?" Xu Qi'an asked casually.

"I went to the countryside to collect rent, and when I came back in the middle of the night, I happened to meet Mr. Liang Shang in the inner courtyard of my house, and he was wiped by me." A colleague said tut-tsk.

"Is there any evidence?" Xu Qi'an asked.

"My wife heard the movement, and when she went out to check, she was already dead in the courtyard. But we found footprints on the outer wall."

"Is it possible that the enemy disguised himself as a thief to commit the crime?" Xu Qi'an poured himself a cup of tea, took a few candied fruit from his colleagues and threw it into the cup.

His tone was like discussing the murder case with his colleagues when he was in the police station.

"I have asked my wife, children, servants, and neighbors in the neighborhood. The deceased has not had any feud with anyone recently."

"Did the night watchman ask?"

"The imperial sword guard said that there were no suspicious people around that night."

The capital has three walls, the palace city, the inner city and the outer city.

Although there are night watchmen in the outer city, there is no curfew, and the city gate is closed at 12 o'clock all night. Merchants can enter and leave the city gate freely as long as they make a report in advance and hold a voucher.

This system has greatly improved the commercial trade of the capital and promoted economic development.

Xu Qi'an nodded: "So, if it's a thief, it should be an acquaintance who knows the area of ​​Kangping Street well."

"How do you see that?" All the yamen servants were taken aback.

"The thief can enter and leave the house at night without being spotted by the patrolling soldiers, which means he stepped on it a little bit, and he is well aware of the patrol rules of the sword guards." Xu Qi'an instinctively touched cigarettes in his pocket while analyzing.

Disappointed to feel empty.

I can't help but think of when I was working in the police station, everyone was sitting together in twos and threes, smoking cigarettes and discussing the case.

As a result, he became close to black and became addicted to smoking.

Several colleagues were taken aback and looked at Xu Qi'an:

"It makes sense."

"Why didn't we think of this crop?"

"Ning Yan, after entering a big prison, people become smarter."

There are no systematic teaching courses these days, and the fast handling of cases depends entirely on experience, and the best performance can be the head catcher.

"You didn't think of it, but Catcher Wang must have thought of it. Have you asked in the west of the city?" Xu Qi'an kept a low profile and didn't show off.

The colleague replied: "After asking for two days, the suspect was not identified."

The west of the city is a slum, full of sneaky people, a mixed bag of fish and dragons, usually there is a problem with law and order, the yamen servants bring white servants, run over there, and catch every one.

"How much money did you lose?" Xu Qi'an subconsciously reasoned in his mind and asked.

A colleague glanced at Xu Qi'an and felt that his tone was a bit like a county magistrate's, so he replied: "I didn't lose it. The deceased just came back from the rent, and what he collected was broken silver; How could it be possible to escape with a large box of money?"

wrong!

Xu Qi'an narrowed his eyes, if I was a thief and stepped on something, then I would definitely choose to steal the next day, not today.

He didn't express his doubts, he ate the melon seeds and continued to listen to his colleagues talking about the mountains.

"It's a pity that such a beautiful woman is going to be a widow at a young age. With that figure, tsk tsk, I can't find such an outstanding woman in the bar. Even if I sleep for a night, I'm willing."

"I'm not young anymore. It's just that I'm twenty years younger than Zhang, who seems to be in his early thirties. A woman of this age is the most difficult to be a widow."

Hearing this, Xu Qi'an said with emotion: "Thirty-year-old woman is good, she is sensible and can love others."

Some old-fashioned words, but not recognized by colleagues, everyone looked at him, laughed and joked

If you want to go all the way in martial arts, you can't break your body if you don't break through the Qi training realm. When the yang qi dissipates, it is difficult to open the gate of heaven.

So Xu Qi'an has not yet subdued the female goblin.

The back hall where the county magistrate lived.

With dark skin, like an old farmer on the field, Wang Butou lowered his head, listlessly listening to the scolding of the county magistrate.

The county magistrate's surname is Zhu, rich, white and fat, from Yanzhou, a top three Jinshi in Yuanjing 20 years, good at drilling business, not good at public affairs, he is a scholar who lacks professional ability, but knows how to be an official.

The advantage is that it is still conscientious, a little greedy but not a big greedy, incompetent but not disturbing the people.

The disadvantage is that he has a bad temper when dealing with his subordinates, and he is easy to spit out fragrance.

"Incapable, how incompetent."

Knowing that Catcher Wang still had nothing to gain yesterday, County Magistrate Zhu was furious.

"You are an experienced veteran after all, you have no clue for so many days about a mere murder case."

Sweat was dripping from Wang Tunou's forehead, and the thorn was on his back.

As the Beijing inspection was approaching, County Magistrate Zhu became more irritable and Li Dianshi dared not intervene, even though he and Wang Butou had been friends for more than ten years.

Li Dianshi knew that the county magistrate always wanted to go up a promotion, and promotion required two conditions: backing and achievements!

No political achievements, only backing, easy to be impeached, unstable position.

Only with political achievements and backing can a stable rise be achieved.

Where does the achievement come from?

Jingcha is an important assessment standard.

A quarter of an hour later, Magistrate Zhu looked away and took a sip from his teacup.

According to official rules, serve tea to see off guests!

Seeing this, Li Dianshi pulled Wang Butou, who lowered his head and said nothing, and the two left in embarrassment.

Wang Butou returned to the lounge with an ugly expression, and the messy room suddenly became quiet, and everyone looked at Wang Butou cautiously.

"Boss, County Magistrate Zhu scolded you again?"

Catcher Wang rolled his eyes, grabbed the teacup and took a sip: "Damn it, where do you go to find it? Today is really unlucky, and I lost a penny."

You lost that money! Xu Qi'an shrank her neck and drank tea to hide her guilty conscience.

Silver obviously has nothing to do with you.

After listening to Catcher Wang's complaint, a small catcher quickly gave him a bad idea: "Why don't you get a fish?"

Xu Qi'an frowned.

Fishing, a technical term in low-level official circles!

It means: Find a substitute for the dead ghost.

Restricted by technology and equipment, most of the ancient cases were unsolved cases, and the detection rate was extremely low. Sometimes officials seek political achievements; superiors put pressure and other reasons, in order to make a difference, they will find a dead ghost to replace them.

The process is like this: First, the local officials select a group of old bastards who often commit crimes, write their names on paper and fold them, and the officials touch them casually.

Whoever touches it will be a scapegoat.

That's why it's called fishing.

After the unlucky ghost was locked up, the officials went to lock people up, and brought back to the Yamen a set of assembly lines called "beating into tricks", and even the toughest people were recruited.

The superiors are satisfied, the officials in the middle are appreciated, the officials are rewarded, hello, hello, hello everyone.

It's not wrong to take the place of the dead ghost, he is a rotten person anyway, sending him to reincarnation earlier is also for the benefit of the people around him.

There are many similar operations in the officialdom.

Wang Butou nodded: "That's the only way, Xiao Li, you can handle this matter, and pick a few scumbags, older ones."

Just as Xiao Li was about to nod his head, Xu Qi'an frowned and said, "Wait! Boss, there are many doubts in this case, and it's not that there is no way to start."

Xu Qi'an does not recognize this truth.

Although I have not been a policeman for many years, the three views established at that time are still alive.

Although he is a bastard who commits crimes, he is not guilty of death. Even if there is more than enough to die, it is still one yard.

Looking for someone to replace here, wouldn't it be a waste of money over there? The real culprit.

Wang Butou lowered his face, did not speak, and gave him an unhappy look.

People have advised:

"Ning Yan, don't worry about it."

"The boss is scolded every day, and there is nothing he can do about it. Besides, he is simply a bastard who often commits crimes."

Those with a better relationship said: "Boss, Ning Yan's family has just encountered a catastrophe, so it is inevitable that they are a little sensitive to such things."

Wang Butou turned a deaf ear and stared at Xu Qi'an, feeling unhappy, with a sullen face: "Tell me, how to check!"

"Give me the file!" Xu Qi'an said straightforwardly.
