Chapter 321 Fisherman
Lin Xiang was a little panicked when he said, "Master, I really didn't hit him hard, just touched him gently, and he fell down... The other guys also kept talking. The court suddenly became a mess.
Yang Qiuchi slapped the auspicious tree again, stopped them and ordered the rest of the friends to be taken down first and to examine Lin Xiang first.
Lin Xiang couldn't even blame him for killing Shi Qiujian, because he was on the street at that time, and so many people watching the fun were watching. Besides, he had already pleaded guilty before, and it was too late to deny him. He had to truthfully explain the incident.
Master Jin made a record aside and asked Lin Xiang to draw a copy.
Next, Yang Qiuchi asked those guys one by one. The guys told the truth and made records. Then he asked the guys to wait far outside the lobby.
Then, Yang Qiuchi wanted to interrogate the Nabahe corpse sinking case and ordered all the attendants to be driven away and not allowed to attend. He also asked the Zaoli to retreat, and asked Nangong Xiong to send guards to carry Shi Qiujian's body away. Only a few constables and a few personal guards such as Nangong Xiong were left in the lobby.
Yang Qiuchi then asked Lin Xiang, "I'll ask you another thing. Did you buy a bundle of mats at the market the evening before yesterday?"
Lin Xiang was depressed and wondering what to do about this matter. Suddenly, he heard Yang Qiuchi ask about this matter, recalled it, and nodded: "Yes, the villain bought a bundle of mats."
"Didn't the mat be tied with a thin iron chain?"
"Yes!" Lin Xiang was a little surprised. "I was also a little surprised at that time. I also asked the mat seller how to tie the mat with thin iron chains. He said it was tied tightly like this."
"Where is the iron chain? Where is it now?" Yang Qiuchi asked.
Lin Xiang lowered his head and thought for a while. He shook his head: "I asked Long Er to carry the mat directly to the guys' residence. I didn't care, so I didn't know it. However, the young man who went with me to buy the mat was outside, so I could ask him."
Lin Xiang didn't know why Yang Qiuchi was concerned about buying a cold mat. For him, he cared more about how his case would be judged, so he asked: "Sir, my case..."
Yang Qiuchi said: "I will handle the case impartially, but if you kill someone, I will not be able to help you."
Lin Xiang's face turned pale in fear, and suddenly turned around and shouted outside the lobby: "Long Er. Go and tell the shopkeeper quickly and let him save me!"
The guys outside the lobby were waiting in the same room, far away, so I couldn't hear Lin Xiang's words.
Yang Qiuchi smiled slightly and said, "Shopkeeper Lin, don't be so anxious. If you have anything to say, you can ask them to come in and give orders."
"Thank you... Thank you, Lord!" Lin Xiang's voice was trembling when he heard that he wanted to kill someone and paid for his life.
Yang Qiuchi ordered a Zaoli to run out and call the guy named Long Er. The guy bent over and went up to the platform. Standing there, he didn't dare to come in, Yang Qiuchi said, "Come in, you have anything to say now. Otherwise, it will be inconvenient to say it after being arrested."
The young man Long Erha trotted in with his waist and knelt down next to Lin Xiang.
Lin Xiang said: "When the magistrate finished his question, you should go to Baoning Mansion to report this matter to the shopkeeper after you go back and ask him to find a way to save me no matter what. Do you understand?"
The guy nodded: "I understand."
Yang Qiuchi looked at them and asked the guy: "Are you Long Er?"
The guy kowtowed and replied: "Yes, the villain."
"The afternoon before yesterday, you and your shopkeeper bought a bundle of mats. Where did you put the thin iron chains on the bundle of mats?"
"Mat?" Long Er's head did not turn around for a moment.
Lin Xiang glared: "It's the bundle we bought on the market the day before yesterday. I'll let you carry it back to use the cool mat for your brothers!"
"Oh!" Long Er then remembered, "I'll carry it to the store and give it to my brothers."
Lin Xiang asked anxiously, "Where is the thin iron chain on the mat?" Although he didn't know why the Count was interested in this thin iron chain, he was eager to please Yang Qiuchi and asked afterwards.
Long Er was confused. He didn't pay attention to what the mat was tied. He scratched his scalp and said, "Fine iron chains? Are thin iron chains used for tied mats?"
"Damn it! I'll beat you to death!" Lin Xiang was anxious, raised his hand, causing the subway chain to be locked on his body.
Long Er shrank his neck in fear and said quickly: "Shopkeeper, I really didn't pay attention to what the mat is used for binding. Don't worry. If it is tied to the mat, it must be where the shop's guys live. I'll find it for you now." Long Er said and was about to get up.
Yang Qiuchi thought to himself, the iron chain is here with me now, you can't find a big deal, but this cannot be said, so as not to scare them to talk nonsense at that time. Then he called out, "Don't worry, I have something to ask you."
"Yes!" Long Er kowtowed quickly and looked at Yang Qiuchi.
"Do you remember the chains tied with the cold mat??" Yang Qiuchi asked.
"Master, the little man really didn't notice it, but the brothers waiting outside may remember it."
Lin Xiang was overjoyed: "Why don't you go and call them in!" Excited, the subway chains in his hand were clattering, and then he realized that he was still a murderer. He was in the lobby of the prefect's office. It was his turn to give orders, so he quickly looked at Yang Qiuchi.
Yang Qiuchi ordered Zaoli to call all the guys up.
After several guys came up, before Yang Qiuchi asked, Lin Xiang asked first: "Do you guys still remember the iron chain that Long Er carried the mat that he had been carrying the day before yesterday, and where did the iron chain tied the mat to go?"
Several guys looked at each other and shook their heads.
Yang Qiuchi's heart sank and asked, "A very thin iron chain is usually used to tie dogs."
"Tie dog?" A guy frowned and thought for a while, his eyes suddenly lit up. "I remembered that there was a brother from the boat family coming to pay the help fee. He passed by our residence and said that the rope tied to the fishing boat was always broken, and he wanted to find an iron chain. I was busy laying a mat and asked him to find it by himself. He might have taken the thin iron chain on the mat."
Yang Qiuchi said happily: "Can you be sure?"
The guy said embarrassedly: "I just heard him say this, and didn't notice whether he took it away. But it seemed that after he made the bed, he didn't see any thin iron chains. He should have taken it away because the mat was directly carried into the room and untied the ground. The brothers of the boat were sitting on the threshold and talking. If the iron chains were not taken away by him, they should still be in the room."
Another guy interrupted, "I'm not here, I'm definitely not here. After I packed up, I cleaned the room, and I didn't see any thin chains." He turned around and asked the other guys: "Have you seen it?"
Those guys shook their heads and said that they had made the bed and rushed out to call the business, not paying attention to the ropes that tied the mat.
Yang Qiuchi thought to himself, it seems that Lin Xiang and his friends said nothing like lies, nor like a string of confessions. Otherwise, Lin Xiang could directly deny that the bundle of mats was tied with thin iron chains and confessed one-on-one. And these guys could also say that they could not find it if they were thrown in the garbage dump, and they would not say that they should be in the room and would not cause trouble for themselves.
It seems that it is possible that the fishing boat brothers took it away.
A fisherman? Yang Qiuchi's mind flashed with inspiration and asked hurriedly: "Who is the fisherman? Where is it now?"
The guy shook his head: "I don't know him. I just saw that he was dressed and came to the backyard of our business. Then I guess he was the brother of the boatman who came to pay the help fee."
"Aid fee?" Yang Qiuchi of course knew it was their boat gang's helper. He asked inadvertently, "What kind of helper fee?"
Lin Xiang glared at the guy and whispered: "Are you fucking asking for death?"
The guy then realized that he had missed his mouth and hurriedly covered up, "No, nothing, I was wrong, it seems that he was here to buy things."
Yang Qiuchi smiled and said, "Okay, I don't ask you what kind of help you are. I have important things to find this fisherman. I hope you can cooperate with me to find this fisherman."
As the saying goes, people have to bow their heads under the eaves. Lin Xiang’s fate is in Yang Qiuchi’s hands. Besides, he doesn’t know what Yang Qiuchi is looking for this fisherman, but it is probably another case, it shouldn’t be the matter of their boat gang. Even if it is, the fisherman doesn’t know any inside information. In addition, most of the fishermen in Bazhou and the northeast are all gang members of the boat gang. If they want to investigate, they will find someone else if they don’t look for this fisherman.
Since Lin Xiang probably went to Yang Qiuchi to find this fisherman not to investigate their gang affairs, there was no need to hide it. He turned to Long Er and said, "Go back and check the registration book quickly. I will help you that day... who are the fishermen who come to do that matter?" He also said to the young man just now: "Go together, think about it with them, who is the fisherman who may have taken away the thin chain!"
"Yes!" Long Er and the young man agreed. Yang Qiuchi asked Captain Zhan to take the two constables with them. After finding out, they came back and reported immediately. Then they ordered Lin Xiang to be imprisoned and announced their withdrawal.
Song Yun'er was always at the back. Seeing Yang Qiuchi come out and was about to speak, Yang Qiuchi waved his hand and took her to the residence of Nangong Xiong and his guards. Several guards sat in the room. When Yang Qiuchi came in, he quickly got up and saluted.
Yang Qiuchi asked: "How is Shi Qiujian? Is it okay?"
"I'm fine, thank you for your concern." Shi Qiujian bowed and bowed to salute.
Nangong Xiong, who was following Yang Qiuchi, smiled and said, "Sir, Shi Qiujian is one of the most famous masters in our Jinyiwei. He is very good at practicing Kung Fu with the Thirteenth Taibao. Lin Xiang's punch was not enough to scratch him." Everyone laughed.
Yang Qiuchi also smiled and said, "You guy pretends to be like that. When you carry it in, you have no breath. I'm really worried."
Song Yuner also said, "Yes, I saw that his face was covered in blood, and I really thought he was injured."
Shi Qiujian smiled and said, "That's the pig blood I drank in advance, and then spit it out with the reverse true energy. Thank you for your concern to Miss Song."
It turned out that Shi Qiujian went to the Chuanjia Trading Company to deliberately make trouble, and Yang Qiuchi arranged it. The purpose was to make Lin Xiang, the shopkeeper of the shop, get involved in the lawsuit. After arresting him, he took this opportunity to start solving the case of the Chuanjia Trading Company.
Yang Qiuchi said: "In theory, you are dead, so I have to feel wronged that you hide in the guard room and don't go out, and wait until the case is clear before showing up."
Shi Qiujian bowed and said, "Subordinate to obey the order."
