Chapter 28 Old things
As that voice sounded, the head catcher named Tan finally walked out of the cell.
Zhang Baihu frowned, and although his eyes were still cold, he still cupped his hands.
"Who did I know? It turned out to be Mr. Tan Litan from the Six Gates. I wonder what Mr. Tan has to say?"
"I can't speak of any insights. It's just some experience accumulated from years of handling cases. Please come with me, Mr. Hundred Households."
Tan Li stood at the door of the cell, turning slightly sideways, as if he were a master inviting guests, obviously wanting to keep the case in his hands.
Zhang Baihu naturally understood what he meant, sneered, and followed with a few of his confidants.
Naturally, the three brothers Lu Jianxing couldn't follow this kind of thing, so they could only eavesdrop on the conversation between the two adults from a distance.
Tan Li first led Zhang Baihu to the corpse of the cell leader, pointed at the corpse and explained: "Sir, please see, there are only two obvious injuries on this corpse, one is the palm print on the top of the head, and the other is on the chest. The different degrees of blood congestion in the two wounds indicate that the perpetrator first knocked the man unconscious with one palm, and then after a while, struck him to death with another palm."
"...it's true"
Zhang Baihu looked at it carefully and couldn't help but nodded, thinking that the title of the best catcher in the world was indeed well deserved.
"Let's not talk about the first palm for now. Let's take a look at the second palm first, which is the palm that takes his life."
Tan Li smiled and opened the prison head's shirt, exposing his chest.
Seeing this scene, Zhang Baihu couldn't help but swallow.
I saw a palm print dented in the already thin chest. The ribs and sternum around the palm print were broken. The sharp bones even directly pierced the skin and flesh, and were exposed together with the flesh and blood.
"What a powerful slap!"
Zhang Baihu couldn't help but speak.
Tan Li nodded: "That's natural. Maybe Mr. Zhang doesn't know the identity of this dead body yet, right?"
Zhang Baihu frowned: "Isn't he just the prison chief in the Tianlu?"
Tan Li shook his head: "No, this person's name is Li Weigang. His ancestors have been jailers of the Heavenly Prison for generations. When he was young, he met a peerless master in the world of martial arts in the Heavenly Prison. Because he treated him kindly, he was rewarded by that master. Mr. Zhang, do you know about the famous Thief Thirteen years ago?"
"I've heard of it, but wasn't this Saint Thief captured by your six gates?"
"It's a shame to say it." Tan Li smiled bitterly, looking at the corpse at his feet with complicated eyes and sighed, "The Thief Saint back then was indeed unparalleled in his skills. Many police officers from the six gates could not do anything to him, but he still died. He died, and he died in this heavenly prison."
"Did he kill him?"
Zhang Baihu couldn't help but look at the corpse of the cell leader.
"That's right."
"Then why didn't I know?"
"Don't tell me it's you, I'm the only one who knows about the entire six doors."
With that said, Tan Li turned his head and glanced at Captain Zhou and others.
"But the jail guards should be very aware of it these days."
"..." Zhang Baihu frowned, "Master Tan, you and I are considered acquaintances. If you have anything to say, please feel free to talk."
"In that case, I will speak out." Tan Li said seriously after hearing this, "I would like to ask your Excellency to hand over this case to the Yamen."
After all, we still have to fight this case!
Zhang Baihu pouted, noncommittal.
Tan Li seemed to know what he was thinking, and explained with a serious look: "This man lived in seclusion in Tianlao back then, and had no intention of fame or fortune, so he gave me his credit after I came to him. He was kind to me, and he was kind and reasonable. I I have to help him find the murderer, and I also ask Mr. Zhang to give this case to me for the sake of my long-standing colleagues."
With that said, Tan Li took out a banknote and quietly handed it to Zhang Baihu.
Zhang Baihu took it calmly, glanced at the numbers, suddenly smiled, and said cheerfully: "Since Mr. Tan has made it so clear, I have no choice but to reluctantly give up, but after all, I am only a hundred households, is it? It’s really hard to explain that the pawns of Lord Qianhu, Lord Governor, and Lord Commander are just going back like this!”
It means you have to pay more...
Tan Li frowned, hesitated, pulled Zhang Baihu to the cell, and made a gesture.
Zhang Baihu looked at it, shook his head, and made a gesture.
Tan Li gritted his teeth, nodded in agreement, and then watched Zhang Baihu and others leave with a gloomy look.
After everyone left, the confidant next to him came over and said in a low voice: "Sir, the robbery of the Heavenly Prison is a big case. Although it is a great achievement, it is also a big trouble. You just bought it from Jin Yiwei and you have taken the trouble. , spent money again, wouldn’t it be a big loss!”
"It doesn't matter!" Tan Li smiled slightly, turned to look at the palm print on the prison head's chest, and said, "If this case can be successfully completed, not only will we not lose money, we will even make a profit."
The confidant was slightly startled: "Oh? Does your Excellency already have a clue?"
Tan Li smiled and pointed at the prison head's chest: "Look at the palm prints on this chest. Does it look familiar?"
The confidant squatted down and examined it carefully, and found that the fingers of the palm print were slender and the fingertips were sharp, like a pointed cone.
After thinking for a moment, his confidants suddenly realized and exclaimed in shock: "It's the white-bone demon hand who pays Qingyun!"
Tan Li stroked his beard and nodded: "Yes, it's him. This person has repeatedly killed the Xuanjin Pavilion killer. He has been included in the must-kill list by Xuanjin Pavilion. The reward has also been increased from the original one thousand taels of gold to three thousand taels. If we can capture him and bring him to justice, it will not only be a great achievement, but we can also cut off his bone hand and take him to the Xuanjin Pavilion to receive the reward, and get three thousand taels of gold for nothing, wouldn't it be wonderful!"
Hearing this, his confidants stood in awe, stepped back and held their hands.
"Your Excellency is wise!"
"Okay, stop flattering me."
Tan Li said lightly, walked out of the hole in the cell wall, and stood in the dark alley outside the cell. He first glanced at the one-meter-thick hard wall, then raised his head and observed the surroundings. Condition.
"Well, I think this wall is thick and hard. To be able to break such a big hole, it should be by using a rope to tie a heavy object such as a giant cauldron stone lion to a high place, then let go and push it down, and use the force of the fall to break the wall open, like this Only then can we explain the act of breaking the wall. It is naturally inconvenient to carry such a heavy object. Send an order to search all shops and homes within a three-mile radius. We must find the heavy object that broke the wall!"
"yes!"
The confidant accepted the order and was about to retreat when he was stopped by Tan Li again.
"Wait a minute, since there are heavy objects to break the wall, it means that the opponent has a lot of people. In addition, Fu Qingyun has outstanding physical skills and strong martial arts. You can't deal with them forcefully, you must outsmart them. After you pass on the order, go there again Shenji Camp asked General An to borrow two teams of fire gun soldiers, saying that I have to deal with a master with outstanding light skills like the Thief Saint thirteen years ago, and I need the help of fire gun soldiers."
General An was the person who almost leaked the ordnance blueprints back then. It was Tan Li who saw through the Dongyi spy in time and arrested him, thus saving General An from any implicated guilt.
Because of this, General An owed him a favor.
As long as his subordinates tell General An his true story, they will definitely be able to borrow firecrackers from him.
"yes!"
The confidant once again accepted the order and turned to leave.
After the policemen left, Tan Li jumped up to the wall, glanced around, and frowned.
"However, the location of this prison is so hidden. There are many dark alleys outside the prison, like a maze. Not only can Fu Qingyun sneak in here quietly, but he can also accurately find the location of cell No. 1 in Tianzi. It really makes me a little surprised. Solution..."
