Chapter 80 The Seventy-seventh chapter: The Doubtful Soldiers Trapped in a Snare to Find out the Truth and the Judge Talks about Qiu Mi

The more guilty and timid one is in the affairs of the world, fearing that people will find out, the more accidents and unsatisfactory situations will happen.Lian Xing wanted to visit his comrades in Nanyuan, but he was afraid that the detectives would see through his actions, so he pretended to be an old man selling sugar, thinking that no one would be able to see his truth, let alone the people behind him. And Xiaoling is insured, so of course there is no danger of accidents.Unexpectedly, as soon as he went out, he bumped into a rival, who begged behind him to buy candy.If this person was a stranger, he would not be very afraid in Lianxing, but this person used to have a feud with Lianxing, and now he is working as a detective in the admiral's office. Lianxing came back this time. Ji Zhao had already told him.He was worried that if he met him, he would be unable to get rid of him in the future, and everything would be difficult to handle.But he didn't expect that he bumped into him just as soon as he went out, how sad it must have been in Lian Xing's heart!If you want to walk a few steps quickly and avoid him quickly, wouldn't you be showing your feet even more?Let him be perfunctory, although I have changed my face, but I can't change my accent.He and this person had worked together in the Shaolin Association for two years, and they were very familiar with each other's accents. Once he opened his mouth, he would recognize him immediately, and he couldn't escape even if he wanted to.Don't open your mouth, pull the sugar basket and ask the price, but how do you answer him?Lian Xing pretended to be deaf and dumb because of his quick wit, and only gestured towards him, staring blankly, as if he couldn't hear a word.The man teased him on purpose, asking this question and then that question, which made Lian Xing very impatient, but he didn't dare to open his mouth, so he could only be patient and pretend to be dumb to him.Later, it was Xiaoling who got out of the siege. He pretended to run a few steps from behind, deliberately raised his voice, and shouted: "This dumb old man who sells sugar is really hateful! We will buy you ten pieces of candy, and the total cost is only 12 cents." , why did you leave with the 20 cents? Even the 8 cents were stolen! Is this going to go on? Come back quickly! We have to settle the score." Grabbing Lianxing, he turned towards that person, pretending to I just saw it and said: "Isn't this Brother Hei? How did you get here? Please sit and drink tea at home. This old man is unfair, so don't buy his candy!" The man also hurriedly greeted, saying: "Zhao Brother, long time no see, is your old man at home?" Xiaoling said, "I just went out, don't you sit at home?" Because Xiaoling interrupted, the man was embarrassed to make trouble with the sugar seller, so he said goodbye , went in a hurry.Xiaoling still pulled Lianxing, saying, "You overcharged, so you have to follow me to the house and settle the accounts again. Even if you don't spit out the money, you still have to give us candy!" go home.After entering the gate and closing it again, he just said, "Uncle, it's really dangerous! How could it be such a coincidence that I just bumped into him as soon as I went out! I don't think it's a bad day today, so don't take this risk!" Lian Xing also sighed , still walked back to the house with him.Seeing his father and son running back again, Zhao Ji asked in surprise, "What's wrong? Why did you come back again?" Lian Xing took off his mask, stomped his feet and said: "Brother, look at how unlucky we are! I'm afraid that the Qing Dynasty's Jiangshan Sheji is completely hopeless. Yesterday our brothers talked about him, so we were terrified, but when we went out today, he happened to pass by the door. I still I walked a few steps quickly, lest he would notice the signs, but I didn't know that he was chasing me behind, begging for nothing, insisting on buying candy. It seemed that he was trying to make trouble with me on purpose, asking this one, and then asking that one , Fortunately, I pretended to be dumb! No matter how much you forced me to speak, I always gestured, blind oh, thanks to my nephew for being alert, I was relieved. Otherwise, this is the first time I go out, I’m afraid I’m going to fall. In the net. Brother, do you think it’s dangerous or not!”

It turned out that what Lian Xing met was not a big man, but the black giant eagle mentioned in the previous dozen chapters of this book.Since Black Giant Eagle sang a new opera in Tianjin, he was beaten up by the police. After the beating, he was charged with escorting him back to his hometown and handing him over to the local officials for strict control, so he was sent back to Beijing.Since he arrived in Beijing, all his relatives and friends knew about his usual behavior and the troubles he caused outside, so who would dare to get close to him?He couldn't get any credit, and he was about to starve, but he couldn't do it later, so he asked someone to find a job as a black teacher in a certain small class. Every night, he went to the small class with a huqin to play a few plays, and got a lot of money. Reward three or two yuan, and you can live with it.After working like this for more than a month, I feel at ease, thinking that I can die here, but I don't know that it's time for him to turn around and he should be promoted a step higher.One night, after one o'clock, a group of guests came suddenly, not only drinking tea, but also listening to singing, Mr. Teapot had no choice but to look for Black Giant Eagle, and told him to come and play.The black giant eagle had already fallen asleep, so he forced him to wake up and told him to go quickly.The black giant eagle was full of impatience, and had no choice but to lose his job, so how dare he say no!I had no choice but to bite the bullet and take down the huqin on the wall, and hurried to follow the teapot.As soon as he entered the room, he turned around and ran out again when he saw the people present.Seeing him like this, the teapot pulled him back in surprise, and said, "What are you running for? What did you call you to do?" The black giant eagle just turned his face away, and one of the guests present stood up early and called out loudly. Said: "It turned out to be the second brother Hei, why did you end up in such a situation!" Hei Ying said with a face full of shame: "So it's Brother Wen! How can I face others, my younger brother? This is also forced by livelihood, it is really helpless. But what, otherwise I would have to starve. I have visited my eldest brother twice, but I was always unable to see him. If I wanted to see my eldest brother, no matter what, I would not be in this state. I am really ashamed today It’s difficult, that’s why I want to avoid it. Brother, please don’t blame me!” The person surnamed Wen is Wen Boquan, who was mentioned earlier as being in charge of eating and cheating.He has now sneaked into the admiral's office, acting as a senior detective, with a monthly salary of 200 yuan, dedicated to serving as a lackey for the government.He doesn't care about revolutionary parties, socialist parties, or religious socialist parties, and sells them at a reduced price.Sometimes when I am happy, I will play tricks and frame up, and I can do all kinds of outrageous activities.He didn't go to the team for fun, but to scout out some news in prostitutes, find some suspicious people, so that he can spend some money, or send them to the government to be rewarded for his meritorious service.When he came to the small class this time, he still had this kind of purpose in mind, but he unexpectedly ran into the giant black eagle.When he saw Lao Hei, he immediately had a feeling in his heart, what was he feeling?It turns out that at this time, their detective team lacks a few lackeys who can run in the lower society. Black Giant Eagle is just suitable for this qualification, and he is poor and boring. If he can be promoted for a while, he is of course determined Give them a hard time.Thinking of this, he expressed a look of great regret and concern, let him sit down first, and said: "Brother, you just have to sit down. We are old friends, even if you end up begging on the street, we can't underestimate you." "He introduced to the guests on both sides, saying that this is Ma Dengyun, the second brother of Ma, who is now serving as the admiral's yamen archer; All in all, it's really a combination of spectrum and one alliance, so you don't have to stick to it.The black giant eagle just sat down coyly at this time, and Wen Boquan asked again: "Brother, do you plan to die here, holding a huqin in your hand? Or do you have other plans? Fortunately, brother I'm not an outsider, so you just have to tell me frankly." Black Giant Eagle was already blushing with shame when he asked this question, and he replied slowly: "Brother! Why did you ask this? Brother, if it wasn't for Forced by life, no matter what, I won’t be so ignorant of self-love. If you have a way to arrange me, even if you lead the horse and fall into the stirrups, I will be happy to go. I don’t think my elder brother can watch me hang around in the turtle’s nest for the rest of my life, can it? Am I really that obscene?" Wen Boquan said happily: "Your brother is finally a man of lofty ideals, and now I have a chance, but I'm not sure if I can succeed." The black giant eagle didn't wait for him to finish speaking, Then he interjected and said, "There is no reason why I can't succeed if I have the strength of my elder brother. Please tell me what it is!" Wen Boquan said: "It's just a small matter. In our Beiyamen, there are still a few people who want to explore their legs." What do you mean by probing legs? It is dedicated to running errands for our detectives. The monthly money is very limited, no more than 30 yuan. But the future is very promising. If you have achievements and merits, you will be promoted step by step. After a year For half a year, just like me, I wonder if you are willing to do it or not?" Black Giant Eagle said: "Excellent! I am willing to do it! I am definitely willing to do it! Please take me to the mission immediately, a little later. I'm afraid that someone will take it away." Boquan laughed loudly and said, "What are you busy with? Tomorrow at two o'clock in the afternoon, you go to the detective office of the admiral's office to look for me. I'll take you to see the director. The matter is settled." Black Giant Eagle thanked deeply again.

At this time, it was almost three o'clock, and the hairy guys in the team also hoped that all the customers would leave, so that they could close the door and rest.But these three people became more and more happy as they talked with Black Giant Eagle, and they refused to leave.They weren't visiting the house at first, no matter how long they sat, they would never spend a penny, and now they were delaying their sleep, and everyone was so angry that they were cursing outside the house.Finally, Ma Dengyun said: "Let's go!" The two stood up and walked out of the room slowly.The giant black eagle sent the three of them out of the gate, then turned around and entered again.There was a newcomer among the hairy guys, who didn't know how deep he was, so he cursed: "What! If you don't spend any money, what kind of rabbit master has a nose and eyes!" But he didn't finish these few sentences, hot He had already received a slap on the face, and then Hei Juying scolded: "You bastard! You bastard! You are blind! You don't even know who the three are, so I will send you back to the North Yamen. Military stick, another five months of coolie punishment, let’s see if you still swear or not!” Seeing the black giant eagle like this, everyone yelled in unison: “Reverse! Reverse! You are also a member of our group. Myself, is this okay?" Hei Giant Eagle couldn't hold back when he heard that Mao recognized him as himself, and simply cursed loudly: "What are you? A group of shrimp soldiers and crab generals, stinky bastards in black armor! You deserve to talk about yourself with me, take a look in the mirror first, and then it’s not too late to open your mouth!" He scolded himself like this, but he made everyone angry, and everyone joined hands at the same time, saying: "You also Don't call us tortoises, let's smash your tortoise cover first." Although the black giant eagle has practiced Wuhu stick and knows a few moves, it is no match for a dozen young and strong boys.Everyone, you punched me and kicked him, and he was knocked to the ground long ago.Two other young men were pulling his legs and insisting on chopping him.At this time, the black giant eagle couldn't hold it anymore, it was crying, shouting, and begging. The police outside the alley came to hear the sound, and everyone just stopped.The police asked them why they were fighting, and Black Giant Eagle said that he was a detective from Beiya, and because he came to this team to cover cases, they wouldn't let me in, so they started arguing.Those hairy guys said: "Boss, don't listen to his nonsense! He is the huqin master in my team, so he dared to pretend to be a detective. Just now he spoke rudely and called us all tortoises. Please think about it, boss, we are tortoises. What is he? Everyone couldn't bear it, so they taught him a lesson." The policeman laughed loudly: "You guys, Mr. Wu, are making a fuss, it's really ridiculous! That kid has been playing the huqin for a long time, why? I was promoted to a detective again today? What are you investigating? Could it be that a phoenix came out of your nest, and you use him to detect eggs? Or is it that your girl Cui married the Admiral Hall, and I think of his achievements in playing the huqin and teaching opera on weekdays, Tete It’s possible to promote him to be a detective.” The policeman made fun of it, and although the black giant eagle was so angry, he didn’t dare to turn against the policeman, because he had to be protected by him, and if he annoyed him again, wouldn’t he? Don't you have to suffer more?I had to be patient, slipped away, got up from the ground, didn't even dare to vent my breath, didn't want the Huqin, and limped back to the lower place to sleep.

In the afternoon of the next day, I went to look for Wen Boquan and took him to meet the director. I was actually in love with him, and I was granted a salary of 25 yuan a month to temporarily act as a junior detective.Since then, the black giant eagle has been proud and proud, and has shown off its prestige in the small class several times.Guy Mao knew that he had really been promoted to a detective, so of course he was a little wary. Everyone pooled a few money, asked someone to clear it up, and congratulated him.He took the money, and he was at peace.At this time, the official order to crack down on Lianxing had already been issued by the presidential office, such as the admiral's office, the police department, the law enforcement department, and Jingzhao Yin's office, all of which had been received.Of course, the officials of each hall secretly dispatched them to ask their detectives to pay attention to Lian Xing's whereabouts.The rest of the yamen are not very tight, but the police department and the admiral's yamen, one has a detective team, and the other has a detective office.Especially Black Giant Eagle, he knew Lianxing before, and because Lianxing had knocked him down several times in front of everyone in the Shaolin Club, he held a grudge and always wanted to get a chance to get revenge.This time, he was very happy to hear about Yan's official arrest of Lianxing, so he boasted in front of the director, saying that he was very sure about arresting Lianxing.The director was naturally happy, so he really rewarded him with a few words, and gave him a handbook. In case of emergency, he can use this handbook to call the police and fellow soldiers to help him temporarily.With this handbook, he became more and more attached to his wings, and he was more dedicated to making this matter a complete success in his own hands, so he started the work of arresting Lianxing.Since the black giant eagle obeyed the order, he worked tirelessly all day long all over the inner and outer nine cities, trying to capture Lianxing.He passed by Yunji Zhao's gate, suddenly he had an idea, he said that Lian Xing and Yunji Zhao were brothers, maybe they were hiding in his house, I had to pay special attention.Unexpectedly, he was thinking in his heart that the gate of the Zhao family had already opened, so he immediately stared at it, where is the shadow of Lian Xing?It turned out to be an old sugar seller.He always felt a little strange, why did the sugar seller come out of his house?There may be a little clue in this, so I can't help but try it out.So he deliberately made trouble with the old man on the pretext of buying sugar, meaning to get a few words out of his mouth.It happened that I met a dumb person, and he was deaf. I spent a long time in vain, but there was no effect!He was in a hurry, but Xiaoling ran over and said this, and he was too embarrassed to say anything else, so he nodded and said goodbye.Xiaoling turned back to Tang, dragged Lianxing back home, and didn't dare to go out again.

Hei Juying went back to the detective bureau alone, after thinking about it, he was still a little hesitant, and regretted that he shouldn't have walked lightly at the door of Zhao's house. At that time, he wanted to find out the truth, and this opportunity was not in vain.I still have to check tomorrow afternoon, but this time I will check again, but not too close to his door. If they want to move secretly, they must prevent others from seeing.As for me, especially on their watchful eye.I have to find a place where the shadows can see them, but they can't see me, so that I can get the truth.The next day he got up early, ran to the vicinity of Zhao's residence alone, and investigated.Inadvertently, he saw a small tea house outside the entrance of his alley, and there were two small buildings facing the street. He saw it and was overjoyed.After having breakfast nearby, I got into the small teahouse, went upstairs and sat down on a seat close to the window.Dr. Tea came over and asked him what kind of tea he would like to drink. Hei Juying said he would like to drink fragrant tablets. The Dr. Tea brewed it for him and said with a smile: "Second Master came today just in time. We have some children with octagonal drums in our teahouse today. They sing single-string, Those who talk about fast reading, it’s a really good thing!” Black Giant Eagle also took advantage of the momentum and said: “Okay! Okay! I have a lot of time today, so I can spend a day here.” After a while, it really happened one after another. There are a lot of teahouses here again, all of which are for listening to singing.On the head of the black giant eagle, two more people were added, one seemed to be a rich man from the countryside, because although the clothes on his body were gorgeous, they were out of fashion, and he wore a braid on top; But he has a bit of a hooligan air, the clothes he wears are very irregular, and he looks like a street rascal.The two are not in the same group, one sits on the left and the other sits on the right.The black giant eagles were sitting in front of each other, drinking their own tea without saying hello to each other.When I was young, the octagonal drum came on stage. I sang "Five Sages Facing the Heaven" first, and then sang "Woo Di Cursing Yan". Everyone listened to the singing quietly, but the black giant eagle looked out of the window with straight eyes.It was a bit late at this time, and suddenly two people came out of the alley, it was the dumb old man who sold sugar yesterday, followed by Xiaoling from the Zhao family.Seeing these two people, the black giant eagle opened its eyes wide as if it had acquired a treasure, and immediately stood up, took out a handful of coppers and put them on the table, and only said, "Tea money! "I want to go downstairs immediately.Unexpectedly, he hadn't taken two steps, the country old Gan who was sitting with him suddenly jumped up and shouted loudly: "Don't let him go! He's Xiaoqian!" After saying that, he rushed a few steps and dragged the black giant eagle back , Said: "You can't go!" It looked like he was desperate.Black Giant Eagle was in a hurry to go downstairs to investigate the case, but he came up with such resistance out of thin air, something he could never have dreamed of.With a push by you, he pushed the old man to the ground, and he cursed: "You bastard! You have delayed the master's business, so I sent you to the admiral's yamen." Said while rushing to go downstairs.In each teahouse, there were many injustices, and they all surrounded him and did not let him go.The countryman also got up and still wanted to fight him desperately. Dr. Cha also came over and said: "You go slowly first, this matter concerns the reputation of our businessmen. Did you take his or not? There must be an explanation " Black Giant Eagle scolded: "It's unreasonable! With what status I am, as for stealing his wallet as Xiaoqian? Don't worry about it!" After saying this, he took a small copper symbol with him I took it out and showed it to everyone. When everyone saw this symbol, they all stared blankly and dared not say anything.The countryman still wanted to use force, but Dr. Cha grabbed him and said, "You are blind! This is a great detective from the admiral's yamen. You dare to falsely accuse him of being Xiaoqian. Beware of half a year's imprisonment!" Black The giant eagle sneered and said: "You lost your wallet, so you can only ask the person sitting across from you, how can you ask me?" One sentence reminded the countrymen, and they hurriedly searched for the hooligan sitting opposite, but there was no sign of him .Everyone also understood at this time, and said: "The person sitting opposite you really looks like a little pig. Someone saw him running downstairs in a hurry, and he must have taken the wallet away. You should hurry up and run down the stairs." Go after him, don't delay any longer." Hearing what everyone said, the countryman hurried downstairs to catch up with Xiao Liu.The black giant eagle also couldn't wait to go downstairs to spy on the dumb old man selling sugar, where is there any shadow?He was very disappointed in his heart, why did he encounter such an accidental leg binding today!The case that could have been successful was delayed by him.Where am I going to find out now?stop!stop!If I don't do anything and keep doing it, I can't give up now that I have volunteered.If he has any relationship with Lianxing, he must go to Nanyuan. I might as well go there and see if they go there.

Thinking of this, he hired a rickshaw and pulled it to the platform of the small railway outside Yongdingmen, hoping to take a car from Nanyuan to investigate on the spot.Unexpectedly, when he came to the platform, the small train from Nanyuan had just passed by, and he felt very disappointed again.But already here, how can we turn back?Fortunately, this rickshaw was going fast, so he booked it and drove him back and forth to Nanyuan. He negotiated a yuan and twenty cents, no matter how long he waited, the fare would not be increased.The cart puller let go of his legs and dragged him to Nanyuan. When he got out of the cart, he was very hesitant. He couldn't go to the camp to investigate the case, but he couldn't go far away from the camp, and he had to find a place to hide himself. And it would be nice to be able to see the people in front of the camp!He wandered in his mind, and suddenly saw not far from the camp, there was a row of pine and cypress trees, and under the tree, a cigarette stall built a hut with a few wooden boards. The outside of the house was colorfully decorated with many cigarette signs.Using the pretext of buying cigarettes, he approached the house and asked to buy a box of Bandit cigarettes.The owner of the cigarette seller came out of the house, the two of them looked at each other, and laughed unconsciously, Hei Juying blurted out and asked: "Aren't you the third brother in high school? Why did you come here to enjoy the breeze? The man also laughed and said, "Master Hei, are you asking me? I still want to ask you! You are not in Beijing Admiral's Yamen, why did you come all the way to Nanyuan?" Black Giant Eagle smiled and said: " We are thieves meeting Fanzi (Note: Beijingers call for arresting Fanzi quickly), so don’t ask anyone else!” The third year of high school let him into the room, poured tea for him with his own hands, and said, “Have a cup first, Warm and warm, let’s tell each other our hearts.” While drinking tea, the black giant eagle asked: “Third brother, you must not come here for no reason, you must always be ordered by Shangfeng, can you tell me carefully, brother? Let’s talk about it.” Gao San said, “I’ve always kept things secret from others, not to mention we’re doing the same thing. Even though we’re in different yamen, the nature of eating is the same after all, so why should I hide it from you? To tell you the truth, I This time I came to Nanyuan to do business, and I was directly appointed by Director Wu, and indirectly instructed by President Xiang, and the task I shouldered was very important." When he said this, he suddenly opened Mu Kezi's door and asked Peeking outside, only the driver pulling the black giant eagle was standing far away. He immediately took out 20 cents, and said to the driver: "The gentleman you pulled has to sit in my room for a while! Here is Two cents, you take it first, go east from here, there is a small teahouse that sells steamed stuffed buns and noodles, you go to have some dim sum first, and it won’t be too late to wait for a seat when you come back.” The cart driver took the money and went, meaning Still a little uncertain, Gao San smiled and said: "You don't have to be afraid that the seat will run away. No one will give you the money for the car. Turn around and ask for someone from my cigarette stand. No one will ask me for money. Isn't it okay?" I was relieved, and happily took the money to eat.The third year of high school turned around and said to Hei Juying: "Brother, don't be too careless. If you ask the cart pullers to sweep the wind, our affairs will be completely ruined. You know that the Presidential Palace is very careful about the Zongsha Party. I don't know where I got the news that the most violent member of the Zongsha Party is Lianxing. This person is now in Jilin and has a close relationship with the Nanyuan Guards. They often communicate with each other. The president sent Wu Director, asked to detect the news of the Imperial Guard and the whereabouts of Lianxing. He also ordered Feng Juntong to pay attention to the actions of junior officers at all times. Our director received this kind of face-to-face instruction, and held a meeting in the department today, and dispatched three capable people Detective, let's find out the clues in this case first. The three people have different positions. One is to inspect Lianxing, the other is to inspect Xiling, and the other is to inspect the Imperial Guard. I am responsible for the investigation of the Imperial Guard. Responsibility. Please think about it. There is a vast sea in Nanyuan, and there are 10,000 to 20,000 imperial guards. Where do you want me to start? That’s why I thought of this way of doing small business, and simply put my body in Nanyuan for a long time. I spend all day with them, maybe I can get some real news. But I didn't expect to meet you here. I think you must not come here for no reason. It is probably because of the Lianxing case, and I think You look quite complacent, and you have some clues, don’t take the credit for yourself! If you have any secrets, you might as well tell me a few words, I will definitely help you, and the first credit will be yours in the future Yes, I just want to touch a little bit, and I can get two hundred yuan for three heads, and it’s not a waste of effort." He said here, and took two mandarin oranges, peeled them himself, and He handed it to the Black Giant Eagle as a sign of special preferential treatment, and said: "My brother, eat two pieces first, and moisten your throat." Say yes, or not tell him?To tell him so easily that I spent two or three days of hard work and get half of the credit from him is really uneconomical; why don't you tell him?I feel that my conscience is a bit unjustifiable, and besides, if one person handles the case, there will never be two people who succeed. With his help, it is possible that great achievements can be made.After hesitating for a while, he finally decided to announce to him, so he told Gao San in detail about the matter of the dumb man selling sugar. Running in the camp, the gatekeeper stopped him, but he couldn't explain why he was gesticulating. Later, a young man came over and said something for him, and the gatekeeper let them in. I think this man It's also a bit strange, no wonder you pay attention, brother, we have to see the truth. I think the case of Lianxing will probably be solved on the mute! In any case, there must be something to do with it. Don't be impatient. Too impatient , as soon as they are prepared, we can't make a move." Black Giant Eagle said: "At present, the third brother has to come forward, because I am an acquaintance with that boy, and he bumped into me yesterday, if I show up again today, he will definitely recognize my intention If you spy on him, you might be able to catch him." Gao San said: "My brother, you are very right. When they come out later, I will have my own way to spy, so you just watched my stall and looked at me through the window in the hut. From the outside, no matter what I do, you must not worry about it, this is a confidential operation, and if you are not careful, you will inevitably delay the matter." The black giant eagle agreed repeatedly, and the two of them stared straight at the camp gate. Sure enough, the dumb old man who sells sugar came out again, and behind him was Xiaoling from the Zhao family, followed by an officer.The third year of high school recognized that the officer was Xiling, the main suspect in the case, but Black Giant Eagle did not.At this time, the third year of senior high school had a plan in mind, but he was calm outside, not showing any airs, and when the two people walked out of the camp gate, he said to Hei Juying: "Brother, you wait here, I will follow them a few steps." , come as you go.” After saying that, he hurried out of the room.He went all the way to the small teahouse in the east to look for the cart puller. The cart puller was full and was drinking slowly with a bowl of tea. The third grader said, "I won't be going back to the seat you pulled today. This time It's getting late, and the evening train will leave early. Hurry up and pull me into the city, or I won't be able to catch up with the city gate if I'm a moment later!" Hearing this, the driver of the cart panicked and said, "Okay! Okay! If you are old, please sit on it! My car is at a negotiated price, one yuan and twenty cents for a round trip, and the gentleman hasn’t paid the money yet, so you can’t give me one less!” Senior three laughed: “Don’t talk nonsense. Hurry up, let's go!" The driver picked up the handlebar and ran back to Beijing like the wind.

Gao San only got off the car at the front door and paid the fare. He stood by the wall alone, motionless, knowing that the mute would come back and never fly past the front door.I'm waiting here, so I definitely can't miss it.The two policemen on duty in the Qianmendong all recognized Gao San and knew that he was a senior detective in the department, so they all raised their hands to salute him, but Gao San gave them winks, and when there were few people, they leaned over and whispered to them. After a few words, the two policemen nodded and said that this method is very good, and we will definitely follow it.The third year of high school ran back to the base of the wall to stand there, and within a short time, two cars ran in from outside the city. The one in front was Xiaoling, and the dumb sugar seller was in the back.Senior Three let the car in front pass by, grabbed the car behind with one hand, and shouted: "Slow down!" The man pulling the cart didn't know what was going on, so he stopped the car in fright and asked, "What's the matter? You're old! "The third year of high school didn't care about indiscriminate, pulled the mute out of the car, and shouted: "You don't pay back the debt you owe me, where do you want to go!" If he didn't think well, he could only pretend to be dumb, pointing at the sky and talking nonsense.But the third year of senior high school didn't listen to this, so he stretched out his hand and slapped him twice on the mouth, cursing dirtyly.By this time, Lianxing couldn't bear it anymore, so he cursed loudly: "What are you! I don't know you, how can I owe you money?" Gao Sanyi was overjoyed when he heard his words, and said to himself I can actually be squeezed into a dumb speech, this case is not worrying about being clueless!But he still refused to let go of his face, saying: "I only think that you are going to pretend to be dumb all your life! So there are times when you talk. To tell you the truth, if you don't pay back my two hundred yuan today, you will never move!" After finishing speaking, he grabbed Lian Xing by the collar again, refusing to let go.At this time, two policemen ran over together and asked what was going on. The senior senior said, "He owed me 200 yuan for three years, and I couldn't even see anyone. Now it's so easy to meet him. How can I take it lightly?" Let it go lightly?" Lian Xing said: "We don't know each other, so how can I owe him money? He's just blackmailing!" The third grader glared and said, "What is blackmail? If you don't pay back the money today, it's not because of a fight with you." No lawsuit!" Lian Xing said: "Okay! Okay! Let's go to the lawsuit! No one can be ambiguous!" The two policemen also agreed to go to the lawsuit, saying: "Originally, no one can rely on your words, and you should go to the court. Go face to face, and there will always be a clue." One of the policemen stood up and volunteered again, saying, "I'll take you to the upper district!" Lianxing had to pay the fare for the car, and went with them.In fact, in the district, the third year of senior high school ran to the back to meet the director. The director was a banner man named Enlun. When he saw the third year of senior high school came in, he hurriedly gave up his seat. The third year of senior high school said something to him in a low voice. , Immediately prepared a document to send the two of them to the police station.

In fact, there is no need to make a big fuss about this kind of case. If he directly dragged Lian Xing to the police station in the third year of high school, wouldn't it be straightforward, why bother to make such a detour?Little do they know that the officials are the most thoughtful, and this is a very confidential serious case handed over from above. If he is to be arrested blatantly, I am afraid that it will be obvious to everyone, and if the news leaks, something may happen.Besides, in the third year of high school, he didn't know that the person arrested was Lian Xing. He thought he was Lian Xing's henchman.That's why he set up debt collection traps, not only to avoid suspicion for onlookers, but also for those who are arrested, which is a bit baffling. This is where he is alert and thorough.The policeman and the director also understood what he meant, so they didn't stop for a moment, and immediately sent the two of them to the police station as usual.Needless to say, Lian Xing was placed in the judicial department, but the senior year went to the room of the chief of the judicial department, Tie Jinsheng, to talk. When the chief of the judicial department saw him, he laughed and said, "It's really you! A debt lawsuit is coming. You bully someone who is dumb, and insist on extorting two hundred yuan from him, is this going to go on?" The third year of high school also laughed, and said: "Don't frame him first, do you know who this dumb guy is? Tie Jin laughed and said, "He's just a bitter old man who sells sugar. Do you still treat him as a robber?" He came down." One sentence awakened Tie Jinsheng, he stood up immediately, and asked in a low voice beside Gao San, "Is this person related to Lianxing?" Gao San said, "Why not? I followed him After three days and five nights, it was very easy to visit, and then the arrest was made, which is very rare! You should go back and ask carefully! I will go to see the director and report everything, as well as his party members, so hurry up and find out Meet Feng Juntong and arrest them quickly, it will be difficult if there is a delay."

After the third year of high school, I immediately went to see Wu Bixiang.Because the case is of great importance, Bixiang has to sit and wait until twelve o'clock at night before returning home to rest.After waiting for three days and two nights, still waiting for any news, he was restless. Suddenly, the policeman on duty came in and replied, saying that detective Gao Buqing wanted to see him immediately. Wu Bixiang repeatedly said, "Tell him to come in!" In the office, he took off his hat and bowed, then stood aside.Bixiang asked: "Do you have any clues about the case you investigated?" The third grader hurriedly replied: "The detective came to see the director to report this case." Hearing what he said, Bixiang immediately had a smile on his face, While urging him to speak quickly, Gao San said: "The detective spent three or four days working on this matter. He knew that Lian Xingzao and Zhao, who sang the lotus falling, had a close relationship, so they scouted around Zhao's house day and night to investigate. It turned out that this dumb man behaved suspiciously. This afternoon, he went to Nanyuan to sell sugar, and the detective followed him to Nanyuan. Later, he and that Xiling came out together. Xiling was the suspected repeat criminal in this case. They are together, of course there is some reason behind it. So the detective followed him back to Beijing and dragged him to the district on the pretext of collecting debts, in order to cover the eyes and ears of the outside world, lest the principal culprit in the case escape. How to interrogate, you have to ask the director Excuse me!" Wu Bixiang said: "This matter can only be ordered by the Chief of the Judicial Section to interrogate him personally, and he has to secretly use peaceful means to slowly deceive his confession. Don't be impatient. If you are impatient, you may become paralyzed. He stood firm What can you do if you don't want to recruit?" When Bixiang said this, he immediately ordered his little servant, Lu'er, to invite Section Chief Tie, and Lu'er went in response.Tie Jinsheng walked in with him. Of course, Bixiang couldn't treat the section chief the same way he treated the detective. He quickly got up and gave up his seat, and told him what he wanted. Tie Jinsheng answered "Yes" a few times, and then walked out. Prepare questions.高三又请示总监，还有什么吩咐没有，必翔道：“你下去，听一听供词，得着线索千万不可放松！”高三答应一声退下去，暂且按下不提。再说铁金声回到司法科，便预备提讯那个哑巴，但是自己心里，也实在觉着为难，明明是一件债务的案子，如今原告却不出面，还要硬往联星身上去拉，这可怎样开口呢？但是上司的交派，又不能不办，如果彰明昭著地坐堂审讯，他要装起哑巴来，一死不肯开口，我又有什么法子呢？总监吩咐我，叫秘密和平，确是审讯此案的要着。看起来，倒是得遵照着去办。他想到这里，便把值勤的司法警察喊过两个来，这两人全是著名的干警，一个叫春明，一个叫武成宣。铁金声叫过他们来，先嘱咐了春明几句话，然后又告诉武成宣，叫他如此这般地去办，两人应声去了。春明先在小饭馆中，要了四样菜，一壶酒，馒头米饭，送到司法科管押处。自己陪着那个哑巴吃饭，斟酒布菜，极其殷勤，嘴里还说：“这是司法科铁老爷知道你负屈含冤，特别地优待你，给你叫来菜饭，先叫你吃饱了，然后再开庭审讯。你自管放开量地喝几杯吧，没要紧，回头问一问，就可以开释了。”联星本是一个慨爽人，怎禁得这样奉承，不知不觉，便逗出他的话来，说：“承铁老爷这样优待我，我心里很是不安。不过我的冤屈，也实在是显而易见的。请老总想，我一个卖糖的穷老头子，怎能欠下他二百块钱，这不明明地讹诈吗？”春明万没料到套出他这许多话来，又敷衍他几句，把一顿饭吃完了，便上去回话。

此时武成宣已经脱了制服，换了一身普通衣裳，开审的地方，就在一间小客厅里。春明把那化装的联星引进来，屋中只有铁金声一个人，是在外间，至于里间是否有人，却不知道。外间只设着一张桌子，两把椅子，桌子上也没有硃盒笔架，只有一把茶壶，两个茶碗，另有一桶才打开的炮台香烟。铁金声很随便地坐在椅子上，一见春明领被告进来，他就满脸赔笑地招呼一声：“请坐！”那卖糖的老头子，哪里肯坐，说：“老爷在上，我是一个做小生意的买卖人，怎敢同您对坐呢？”铁金声哈哈大笑道：“岂有此理，你说你是做小生意的，我偏不承认你是做小生意的，况且由种种方面，还能证明你不是做小生意的。你不肯坐，难道还叫我站着陪你吗？”这一席话，把个化装联星硬给木在那里了，急切间哪有适当答话。铁金声一看这情形，心中早已明白了八九，更表示出一种谦恭态度来，一定让他坐下。联星迫不得已，只好勉强坐了。铁金声又斟过一杯茶来，亲手送到联星面前，请他随便喝茶。一面又示意春明，叫他出去。春明急忙退出，铁金声张口也不审问债务，只问他贵姓，联星便随口答道：“姓邢。”铁金声又问：“你住家在哪里？”联星便随口答道：“住在北新桥一个朋友家里。”铁金声又问：“你那朋友姓什么？”联星答道：“姓赵。”铁金声又赶进一步问道：“可是唱莲花落的髽髻赵吗？”这一句是出其不意，真把联星吓了一跳，深悔方才说话太莽撞了，但是再想挽回，如何来得及呢？只好硬着头皮，应了一个“是”字。铁金声听他承认是住在髽髻赵家里，心中已有了八九分把握。索性将自己的座位向前挪近一步，低声说道：“邢先生，我有一件事同你商量，你千万不要多心。”联星道：“铁老爷，有什么事吩咐，请你只管说，我哪有多心的道理呢！”铁金声道：“常言说，识时务者呼为俊杰。人生在世上，总要知时达务，自然能够逢凶化吉，遇难呈祥。就以你老哥说吧，原告是因为债务，将你拉进警厅，其实你不欠他钱，他自己也承认你不欠他钱，然而他要不把你拉进警厅，便是放弃了他的职务。他所得的罪过，比欠债不还还得加重一些，你想到这里自然就可以谅解他了。”联星听这话简直摸不着头脑，忙问道：“铁老爷，你这话怎么讲呢？”铁金声叹了一口气，说：“唉！你哪里晓得？你可知道北京城中现在窝藏着一名要犯，是项大总统亲口交派下来叫九城一体严拿，据说这个人犯的罪名是组织宗社党，勾结禁卫军，想要颠覆民国，重兴清室。我们奉了这道严令之后，昼夜侦察，内中有几个得力的侦探，异口同音，全说此人窝藏在髽髻赵家中。因为没有真实凭据，不敢进入赵家逮捕，约法上人民有居处自由，非依法是不能侵犯的，所以只能在赵家左近，侦察形迹，偏偏你老先生是从他家出来，而且有他的儿子常在后面跟随，这事已经就惹人注目。今天你两人又跑到南苑去，尤其令人可疑。因为做小生意，偌大一个北京，还容放不开，何必要往南苑跑呢？当时便有侦探，随你们一同到南苑，亲眼看见连长锡龄，送你两人出来。那个锡龄，也是案中的要犯，这样看起来，你老先生一定与本案有密要关系。现在既然来到这里，依我劝你，最好将此案的底细和盘托出，不但你本身得不着一点罪名，将来保案上还可以列你为头功。你要升宫可以得官，要发财可以得钱，这是多么快意的事情。我想你一定赞成我的话，你就实实在在地把详细对我说了吧！”

铁金声说完了这一套，笑吟吟地用眼盯住了他，只等他的下文怎样答复。哪知联星听完了，只微微一笑，问道：“铁老爷，你说了这半天，到底项大总统交谕的要犯是哪一位呢？难道他也没有一个姓名吗？”铁金声被这一问，自己也觉着好笑，说：“你问这要犯的姓名吗？他乃是保皇派的要人，宗社党的领袖，从前在禁卫军中充当连长，后来跑到关东，组织秘密机关，同北京的禁卫军秘密通信，想要乘机起事，推倒民国的一位大人物。此人也是旗籍，姓联名星。差不多九城之中，没有不知道他的。料想你同他不是要好的朋友，便是切己的同事，此人现在哪里，还得求你指示一切呢！”联星当时哈哈大笑，说：“铁老爷，你曾看见过这个联星吗？”铁金声道：“可惜我不曾同他会过面。你身上可带着他的相片吗？如果要是有呢，请你赏给我，我也瞻仰瞻仰这位伟人！”联星笑道：“相片我倒是不曾带得，不过我有拘神遣将的法子，你如果真想看他，我当时就能把他拘了来，立在你的面前，请你详详细细地看上一遍。”铁金声听他这样说，心里还不大醒悟，认为他是闹着玩呢！说：“你果然有这大神通吗？你真能把联星拘了来，不但将功折罪，我回头去见总监，一定保你即刻升一个头等巡官。只怕你没有这种能力，不过拿我开心，那就不用说了。”联星道：“铁老爷，你的心眼儿太多了！我既然说得到，必能做得到，怎能够拿你开心呢？”铁金声笑道：“好的！戏法不变不灵，就请你变一回我看吧！”铁金声的话尚未说完，只见对面坐的那个人，忽然把头向外一扭，回过手来，向自己脸上一摸，只一眨眼工夫，又一回头，铁金声不觉吃惊道：“啊呀！哪里去了？”方才对面坐的不是一个老头子吗？怎么一转眼工夫忽然变成青年壮汉？那个老头儿上哪里去了？丢失了被告，这场官司可怎么问啊？铁金声还在游移着，忽见高三从外面慌张张闯进来，一把手拉住了联星，说：“我的联二爷，您敢情在这里呢！我早算定了，凭您这样大人物，决不肯藏头露尾叫我们没地方去请。果然您这样光明坦白地发现在警察厅，这一来，不但我们当侦探的省了许多手脚，就连吴总监，早早圆了这案，省得担不是，也要感激不尽呢！”要问联星怎样答复他，且看下回分解。
