Chapter 27 The Headless Female Corpse Case
Originally, a small shop in Yangtashan could not invite the fourth-rank magistrate. He was a new arrival. Not to mention the magistrate, even the co-magistrates, the magistrates and other assistants would probably not give him such face. However, Yang Tashan had just recovered the official seal for the magistrate Han. The magistrate Han was grateful for his contributions, so he not only came to congratulate him in person, but also brought his wife to come together.
Since all the prefects and masters have gone, who dares to stay away from moving? So they posted the post and all came, filling the small yard of Yangtashan Mountain with a very lively atmosphere.
The banquet was set up in the living room, with Yang Tashan accompanying Han Taishang and other high-ranking officials. Although Tian Nizi helped a lot, women in ancient times were generally unable to go to the floor. However, Yang Tashan thought that she was so caring for her, so he arranged for her to sit together with his cousin Hou Wei and the other constable. However, Tian Nizi didn't sit at all, and took her maid and Xing'er to greet the guests.
Since it was a joy to move in, the guests from the places naturally brought gifts. Yang Tashan invited the more than 30 people to the banquet, and spent a total of five or six taels of silver. However, the gifts received were seven taels of gold alone, not to mention some messy things.
The wine was drunk until the lights came on, and the prefect Han took his wife and staggered to Yang Tashan and left. Then, the guests also said goodbye one after another.
Tian Nizi and Xing'er were busy helping to arrange the program. After the guests left, they had time. Yang Tashan was very grateful to Tian Nizi and had been greeting the prefects and the others just now. At this moment, the guests were all gone, leaving only Cheng Ziqin, Shaohou, Luo Yi and Ma Liang, and others, who accompanied Yang Tashan to drink. The endgame in the yard was cleaned up by the Qingyang Restaurant.
Yang Tashan invited Tian Nizi, Xing'er and Tian Nizi's little maid Xiaolian to sit down and have a glass of wine together.
Tian Nizi couldn't bear to drink, so she quickly turned red and flushed. When she heard Yang Tashan thank him, she took advantage of the alcohol and said, "Brother Yang, are you really grateful to me?"
"Of course!" Yang Tashan smiled, "You have helped me so much. I am grateful from the bottom of my heart."
Tian Nizi's eyes fluttered and she said in a slight voice: "Then I mentioned the last time that I've always wanted to recognize your fuck brother. Now I'll mention it again. Call me sister, will you win?"
Yang Tashan was already grateful. The reason why he refused last time was because he was afraid that Long Wang would be too worried and saw his vigilant look. He was angry. This time he could enter the yamen to be a constable, and Tian Nizi helped a lot. He was sincere and did not ask for anything from him. So Yang Tashan was still grateful. In addition, he was now the captain, and the size of the Qingyang Mansion was also considered a person. He recognized Tian Nizi as his fucking sister. It was not considered a high-spirited person, let alone had already drunk seven or eight points.
So, he stood up with the alcohol, bowed and said, "Since my sister valued me so much, I would be more respectful than obedient. I am here, please give me a gift."
Tian Nizi was overjoyed and quickly stood up and gave a blessing: "I have you, this brother. I am so happy."
Shouhou, Cheng Ziqin and others applauded and cheered. Yang Tashan brought a glass of wine, had a glass of marriage recognition wine with Tian Nizi, and drank a glass of wine with everyone.
The few people drank until the second day of the second day, and then they had a happy ending.
Yang Tashan was already fainted, and Xing'er helped him into the master bedroom and lay down. When he helped him take off his robe and wash him, Yang Tashan was already asleep.
Early the next morning, Yang Tashan came to the yamen and officially took office.
There are two main areas of work in the yamen: criminal investigation and public security. Criminal investigation actually includes some work in the bailiffs, such as summoning defendants and witnesses. The public security is also patrol, which is equivalent to 110 police officers. Of course, the street patrol is not the main responsibility of the street patrol, and the street patrol mainly relies on the people's strength, which is equivalent to current joint defense team members, and the constable is just patrol.
The Qingyang Prefecture constables are divided into three groups. If there is no murder or major case, two groups of people will be sent out to patrol the street every day, and the other group will wait in the room for the order. Once a major case is discovered, two groups of people will generally be sent to solve it. If the case is particularly urgent and serious, then all three groups of constables will be put into the investigation.
Yang Tashan is the deputy chief chief officer, so he can't send this street patrol matter to him, so the Shouhou and the others will go there.
The first thing Cheng Ziqin did to distribute Yang Tashan was a large number of case files. These were cases that had not been solved in the Qingyang Prefecture recently. There were about twenty or thirty cases, most of which were thefts. There were no major cases such as murders. It was not that there were no murders, but because such cases were bound to be solved, otherwise it would affect political achievements. Therefore, if the land could not be solved, it would be punished by the prisoners.
These case files are very simple. They are all statements of the owners. The stolen land is also small things like rice and noodles. The biggest case, the value of the stolen goods is not more than three taels.
These cases are simple records, and they are not clueless after a long time, so they have no way to investigate. Besides, Yang Tashan has no interest in these thieves. He looked through them boringly, threw them aside, and couldn't explain them with a wry smile.
Cheng Ziqin understood Yang Tashan's psychology and said, "Since you don't want to solve the case, then go patrol the streets."
Yang Tashan thought in his stomach, I would rather be bored and patrolling the streets and wandering around, than be too lazy to be confused about these clues.
A small case of garlic is a brain-struggle. He smiled and said, "Okay!" He pressed the handle of the knife and walked away.
Cheng Ziqin hurriedly said, "Wait, I'll go with you."
"Ah? You also want to patrol the streets?"
"I didn't have to go there myself, but you, the deputy chief, have already taken to the streets to patrol, so it would be a matter of not going. We have a companion when we go together."
"Okay! The so-called match between men and women is not tired of working." Yang Tashan smiled.
The two left the yamen side by side and patrolled the streets to the west city.
The constable and the street patrol have a district demarcation, each taking responsibility, but Cheng Ziqin and Yang Tashan are the chief constables. Their street patrol is equivalent to the inspection work. The constables in the district were surprised and even moved when they saw the two heads patrolling themselves. They were busy nodding and greeting.
The two of them patrol to the City God Temple in Xicheng. Yang Tashan remembered that when he first arrived in Qingyang Prefecture, he once lived here with Xing'er. Now he has become the headmaster of Qingyang Prefecture. Things in this world are changing very quickly.
When Yang Tashan was feeling emotion, he suddenly heard someone shouting behind him: "Chief!Chief~!"
The two of them quickly turned around and looked. The Skinny Monkey ran over with the Rabbit-toothed Constable, panting. The Skinny Monkey bent down and gasped for a few breaths before saying, "Two heads, the prefect, the Grand Master, told you to go back quickly!"
The two of them were shocked and asked what was wrong.
The thin monkey said: "A naked headless female corpse was found in Pingtougou outside the southern city!"
Ah? The two were surprised. A murder happened! This is not a good thing.
Yang Tashan asked Cheng Ziqin to go back to the yamen first, and went back to get his own forensic physical evidence investigation box, and then arrived at the yamen. Because of a murder case, the two groups of constables had already assembled.
The prefect Han was dressed neatly and was about to set off. When he saw the two captains coming back, he ordered the sedan chair to get up. Zaoli called the gong in front of him and drove the way. Yang Tashan and the other constable followed behind him and went out of the city gate and headed straight for Pingtougou outside the southern city.
The body was found next to a stinky ditch. Luo Yi, the leader of the constable, had already arrived with Min Zhuang in advance to arrange a warning.
After the prefect's official sedan chair arrived, it stopped far away under a willow tree. The prefect got out of the sedan chair, and the sedan chair was placed under the willow tree. The umbrella man put the parasol and handed the incense tea with his followers.
The prefect Han called Cheng Ziqin and Yang Tashan over and told them to investigate carefully, and then they would start drinking tea there happily.
Being an official is good. You only need to command the matter on the side and listen to the report. According to the case situation, you will set a limit. If the case cannot be solved within the limit, then you will be able to beat the constable and show your power.
Cheng Ziqin, Yang Tashan and other constables walked towards the body. An old woman stood beside Luo Yi, who was so scared that her face was pale and trembled all over. Next to her was a basket of backs. There was half a basket of weeds in it. This woman was the first person to find the body.
Cheng Ziqin asked, "Old man, where are you from? Please tell me about the passage of the body when it was discovered."
The old woman nodded: "Mife Zhao, the village in Pingtougou, is in Pingtougou Village in Qiantou. This morning, I came out to beat pig grass, and it was almost done. I thought of this small river ditch to wash pig grass. As I washed it, I always felt that it smelled so bad nearby, it was not the smell of the ditch. I stood up and looked around. I almost scared me to death. Just in the grass not far ahead of me, there was a corpse, whose head was gone, and it was covered with maggots. I was frightened and ran back to report it."
"Very good!" Cheng Ziqin nodded, "You haven't moved this corpse before?"
"No...no..., there is a few villagers in the village. When they go to report to the officials, we watched from afar and didn't move."
"That's good!" Cheng Ziqin and Yang Tashan and others walked carefully to the corpse. They saw a ditch not wide. The ditch was covered with messy aquatic plants. On the shore were knee-high thatched grass. There were buzzing sounds from the thatched bushes two or three steps away from the ditch. From time to time, green-headed flies flew up and landed on their hair and shoulders.
Cheng Ziqin waved her hand away in disgust. This time it should not be the first time she had a murder scene, because there was no newbie nervous and excited.
