Chapter 499 Clues
Summer nights cannot drive away the heat, nor can they drive away the warriors’ enthusiasm for training.
They train in the hottest days of winter and the coldest days of summer, and continuous improvement is their creed for maintaining their military strength.
East 14th Street, inside the courtyard of the former Julong Martial Arts School.
A dozen shirtless men were still patiently polishing their bodies, drops of sweat reflecting the moonlight and lights, making their muscular bodies look like walking hormones.
Just then, there was a noise and knocking at the door.
Most people acted as if they didn't hear it and continued exercising.
Only one person listened carefully and confirmed that it was the knock on his own yard door, then he reluctantly put down the stone lock and opened the door.
After a while, he led a dozen people around the screen wall and entered the yard.
"Big Brother, Director Cui from the Subdistrict Office and Chief Zhu from the Police Station are looking for you."
More than a dozen people looked over at the same time, and the one leading them was none other than Senior Brother Shi Tian who had caused trouble for Sha Zhu that day.
"Director Cui, Director Zhu, why are you here so late? Please come in?"
Shi Tian took the towel handed to him by his junior brother, wiped the sweat off his body, and asked with a smile.
"Okay, okay, it's bright in the room now, so stop practicing and come over to see if you know each other."
Director Zhu was not polite either, and it was obvious that he was very familiar with these people.
"What's going on?"
Shi Tian took the papers handed over by Director Zhu, glanced at them and asked.
"The big case, the one in Nanluoguxiang, haven't you heard about it?"
"I heard about it. It's just a few people injured, how did it become a big case?" Shi Tian said in surprise.
"Hey, nine people were injured, all of them had their tendons severed. How can this not be a big case?"
Director Zhu also heard about it and walked into the room to take a look.
"Where is your master?"
"He went to drink. That's the only hobby he has." Shi Tian said as he looked at the wanted portrait.
"Okay, I'll go find him later. You guys first check to see if you recognize him. Apart from the features in the portrait, this murderer is probably in his thirties or forties, about 1.75 meters tall, with high martial arts skills. He is used to using a bayonet, and his Qinggong is also very good. It is said that he can climb a three-meter wall like a piece of cake.
Think carefully and tell us if you have any clues.
This murderer has committed two crimes. Three days ago, he injured eight people, and today he injured nine people. I will not hide it from you. Now all the brothers in the capital are looking for him. We have to catch him within a certain time. It is urgent. "
Director Zhu spoke very seriously and with great anticipation.
As mentioned above, as long as they catch someone, they will be rewarded with first-class merit, which makes these people very motivated.
Shi Tian handed the portrait to other fellow disciples and started muttering to himself.
"Thirty or forty years old, with martial arts skills and tattoos."
He thought about all the people he knew, but none of them matched his name.
Seeing Shi Tian shaking his head, Director Zhu looked at the others.
The others stared at the portrait and shook their heads silently. They were all from the same circle. If the eldest brother didn't know him, it was unlikely that they would know him either.
Director Zhu did not give up either.
"Think about it carefully. Age doesn't matter. It's OK as long as other characteristics match."
"No, Qinggong is difficult to practice, and there's no one I know who has this tattoo." The eldest brother still shook his head.
Just then, one of the fellow apprentices seemed to remember something and said something.
"Big Brother!"
"what happened?"
Shi Tian and the others all looked over.
The junior brother pointed to the courtyard wall.
"The one from a few months ago?"
Shi Tian also glanced at the wall and understood what his junior brother meant, but shook his head.
"Don't talk nonsense when it comes to human life. The man should have come up on a bicycle."
"what happened?"
Director Zhu asked quickly.
There is a saying in the detective world: Clues lead to truth, and small clues lead to big cases.
He just liked little clues like this.
"fine!"
Shi Tian felt a headache. If the other party was unforgivable, they would definitely feel obliged to do so.
But there have been rumors in the streets that they are just chivalrous people dealing with the group of people who are doing evil on the streets.
He didn't want to get involved anyway.
Director Zhu's face immediately frowned when he saw this.
"Shi Tian, you can't hide any clues. Don't worry, tell me quickly."
"Yes, Xiaoshi, if you have any clues, please tell us immediately. It's not right for that person to take revenge in this way. It has caused panic among the people in the whole street." Director Cui of the Street Office also hurriedly advised.
Shi Tian thought for a moment and said, "Nothing much. It seems that about four months ago, a young man suddenly climbed up the outer wall. Judging from his movements, it seemed that he had practiced before, but I'm not sure."
"Four months ago? Young man? Do you know him? Where is he?" Director Zhu asked hurriedly.
"I don't know him. At that time, they wanted us to deal with a cook named Sha Zhu. I had a discussion with him. The cook lived in Nanluoguxiang. He should know him."
"Nanluoguxiang, the case happened in Nanluoguxiang."
Director Zhu felt that he had found a clue and was cheered up.
"Shi Tian, this is very important. Are you sure you are right?"
"The boy is only 20 years old and looks very frail, which doesn't match your appearance."
"I also know that it doesn't match. The higher-ups have issued a mission and we need to report any clues. Okay, thank you from here, you guys go ahead and get busy!"
Director Zhu patted Shi Tian on the shoulder, turned and left the yard.
Director Cui greeted him and followed him out.
Shi Tian walked him all the way to the gate, and his face darkened when he turned around.
"Seventh Brother, we shouldn't get involved in this matter."
"Big Brother, I was wrong." The seventh brother also knew that he had said the wrong thing and quickly admitted his mistake.
"Okay, I just hope that boy isn't that guy, eh!"
……
Dongcheng Branch.
After searching for half an hour, Director Liu finally found the case file related to Wang Tiedan - "Suspected Theft in the Secret Room of Prince Gong's Mansion"
This is also an unsolved case.
We were asked to investigate the items in the secret room that were suspected to have been stolen, but there has been no results so far.
Wang Tiedan was one of the people involved, but he was cleared of suspicion through secret investigations.
After reading the case file, Director Liu shook his head and at the same time dispelled his suspicion of Wang Tiedan.
This is an ordinary guy who likes to make a fortune quietly.
Every young man has a dream of treasure hunting, and every young man has been young.
Just then, the phone on the table rang.
He closed the case file calmly and picked up the microphone. Just one sentence made him a little excited.
"Investigate. Don't let go of any clues. Xiao Zhou, contact the Nanluoguxiang Police Station as soon as possible and ask them to fully cooperate and detain the man first. I want to know the result within two hours. No, one hour."
After hanging up the phone, Director Liu wandered around the office.
He knew that Director Xiao had been investigating for three days without finding any clues. He did not expect that he would find a clue in just a few hours.
I just hope this clue can be useful, so that the murderer can be caught as soon as possible and the mouths of those people above can be shut up.
At the same time, Captain Zhou and Chief Zhu of the Dongcheng Branch had brought their men to the gate of Nanluoguxiang Police Station.
Director Zhang was still conducting an investigation downstairs and was not in the station, so the staff who stayed on duty could only help. They led a group of people and rushed to Yard No. 95.
