Before the car entered the county town, the police car of Lishan County Police Department came to meet us. Both parties stopped at the roadside.

A middle-aged man got out of the leading car and extended his hands enthusiastically, "Hello, Captain Tan, I am Liu Jie, the chief of the criminal police of Lishan County Police Department. The leaders have gone home for the New Year and are not in the county. I am sorry for the inconvenience."

The two shook hands.

Tan Yi said, "Captain Liu, what are you talking about? Today is New Year's Eve. It's obviously us who disturbed them."

Captain Liu looked at the strong men who were pressed into the police car, and there was a bit of shame on his face. "What are you disturbing? It's my duty. I should scare you. Let's go, get in the car, and go back to the bureau to have a hot meal."

Tan Yi said, "Captain Liu, let's arrest people first."

Liu Jie smiled, "Captain Tan, just relax, someone has already gone there, I guarantee there will be no delay."

The hotel business in the 1990s was not as flexible as in later generations. Most of them were closed during the New Year. If you wanted to eat, you could only go to the canteen of the county bureau.

Liu Jie probably had some arrangements. As soon as Tan Yi and others sat down, boiling tea and two side dishes were served.

Liu Jie said, "I have never seen these two young men when I went to the Municipal Bureau for training. Captain Tan, can you introduce them to me?"

Tan Yi turned to Ren Yaguang, "This is our second group police officer, Ren Yaguang."

Ren Yaguang stood up, "Hello, Captain Liu, I joined the Municipal Bureau two years ago, and I was still a newcomer."

"This young man is really energetic, and he doesn't look bad at first glance." Liu Jie praised him politely.

Tan Yi introduced Xie Qing again, "This is the young forensic doctor Xie, who just graduated this year."

"Forensic doctor?!" The criminal police of Lishan County Bureau exclaimed in unison.

Liu Jie glared at his family, "Why, you've never seen a female forensic doctor?"

"I've really never seen a female forensic doctor, let alone one as beautiful as this one." An old detective who was sitting with them poured tea for everyone and said to Xie Qing, "Little Forensic Doctor Xie, I'm sorry for being rude. I apologize to you on behalf of everyone."

"You're too polite. Female forensic doctors are not that stingy." Xie Qing smiled and said, "Forensic doctors are forensic doctors, male and female are the same, just get used to it."

Liu Jie praised, "Little Xie is magnanimous, a heroine."

Hearing the last four words, Tan Yi looked at Xie Qing and curled his thin lips.

Some people don't like to talk much, but they never stop having fun.

Xie Qing wanted to glare at him, but she was afraid that the people in Lishan County would think she was "arrogant because of her favor", and she couldn't get rid of it even if she jumped into the Yellow River. She could only curse him secretly in her heart, "Stinky spittoon".

She smiled and said to Liu Jie, "Captain Liu, you are flattering me."

"How can I flatter you? You deserve the honor!" Liu Jie picked up the teacup, "Come on, come on, you can't drink alcohol during your duty. Let's use tea instead of wine. I wish Captain Tan a smooth trip."

"Thank you Captain Liu for your hospitality." Tan Yi raised his glass and clinked it with him, and then he drank it.

...

After drinking tea, the stir-fried dishes came up.

Because there were still tasks to be done, everyone didn't dare to delay, so they grabbed their bowls and started eating. In less than a quarter of an hour, Xie Qing put down their bowls and chopsticks with everyone else.

The criminal police of Lishan County Bureau had not sent back any news.

Liu Jie put down his teacup and said, "After receiving the call from Captain Huang, we investigated Chang Youxin's family situation. His eldest brother Chang Youjian has a criminal record. He has inherited the skill of tomb robbing from his ancestors and has been arrested several times. There are not many good people in this family."

"No wonder he dared to kill people!" Tan Yi said, "The Chang family is not far away. Let's wait for news on the road."

An old criminal police said, "The Chang family is at the junction of the city and the countryside. It takes 30 minutes to drive from our bureau."

Tan Yi stood up, "Then let's go."

He spoke, and Liu Jie certainly would not stop him. The group got back in the car.

Three police cars plus Xie Qing's jeep sped towards the west of Lishan County.

Tan Yi and Liu Jie were in a car. When they were leaving the county, Liu Jie finally received a call: the brothers were back.

The brothers were, of course, the Chang brothers.

Liu Jie said to Tan Yi: "They didn't stay at home for the New Year. Do you think they went to rob graves or to find a buyer for Daqian?"

Tan Yi said: "Daqian is involved in the murder case. I think it is more likely to be robbing graves."

Liu Jie was a little excited, "That's our case."

Tan Yi nodded.

Ten minutes later, the car stopped outside the town.

The town is large and has many residents, but there are no people on the streets. There are the "crackling" sounds of firecrackers everywhere, and the New Year atmosphere is very strong.

Two plainclothes detectives came up to them, and one of them reported: "Captain Liu, if we act together, we will be a big target. Do you want to wait a little longer?"

Tan Yi asked: "Will the villagers rob people here?"

The detective said: "They don't have the courage."

Tan Yi asked again: "Where is his house?"

The detective pointed to the north and said, "The second house in the third row, that's it."

The town's terrain is uneven, with the road at the lowest point, and it gets higher as you go north. The roofs of the third row are clearly visible.

The distance is no more than a hundred meters, and it will take more than ten seconds.

Tan Yi said: "Then don't wait. While there are no people on the street, one team will go this way, and one team will go that way. Everyone will spread out and feel their way over."

Several local detectives looked at Liu Jie.

Liu Jie said: "It's not realistic to act after dark. We will listen to Captain Tan."

Xie Qing stayed behind.

She sat in the car, watching Tan Yi and Ren Yaguang lead a team to move quickly along the left side road, and soon arrived at the third row of houses. They turned right and disappeared.

A few seconds later, crying and shouting were heard in the alley.

"Someone, the police are beating people!"

"Damn it, they won't let people have peace during the New Year. Arrest me, arrest me, I don't want to live anyway."

"Dad, Dad, I want my dad!"

...

Xie Qing's heart was in her throat. She thought for a moment, started the car, and drove to the third row.

People came out from both sides of the alley, men, women, young and old, but no one was holding a shovel or a stick.

Xie Qing breathed a sigh of relief.

Several teenagers in the crowd pushed and shoved, and finally a little boy about ten years old walked to her car.

He was wearing old clothes discarded by older children, and looked timid, "Sister, who are you? What happened to the Chang family?"

Xie Qing took out the remaining half bag of White Rabbit from her bag, leaving three or five pieces, and put the rest in front of the child, "We are the police, someone in the Chang family has committed a crime."

"Candy, White Rabbit candy?" The boy's eyes lit up. "Is it for me?"

Xie Qing nodded. "Yes, all for you. It's the New Year, so I'll give you a sweet mouth."

A middle-aged woman ran over and snatched the plastic bag from the child's hand. "Old son, you are not allowed to ask for things from others casually."

Xie Qing took out her police officer ID. "Don't worry, sister, we are not bad people."

The middle-aged woman breathed a sigh of relief. "It's really a policeman. The Chang family is the same. They always cause trouble." She touched the back of the boy's head. "Hurry up and thank the police sister?"

The little boy thanked her and went back with the candy. Each of his friends shared one.

...

Xie Qing felt comforted. There are still many good people in the world.

About ten minutes later, Tan Yi and Ren Yaguang came out one by one.

One was a tall man, about 185cm tall; the other was a woman of medium height, who was obviously Wei Fenfang's colleague Bai Yun.

Liu Jie and others were holding down the other one, and the criminal police were each holding a clay pot and a wooden box.

Tan Yi escorted the two to the back row and said to Liu Jie, "Captain Liu, we are going back now. You guys come to the city bureau and make a phone call, and I will entertain everyone then."

Liu Jie said, "Sure, take care on the way."

"Okay." Tan Yi went to the back row and sat between the two suspects.

Ren Yaguang got into the co-pilot's seat.

Xie Qing stuck his head out, said goodbye to the people from the Lishan County Bureau, and drove out of the alley first.

At around four o'clock, Xie Qing drove to the scene of the accident.

With the overlapping Lishan Mountains blocking the way, it was already dark, and the road was quiet, with no one on it.

Captain Tan asked Xie Qing to stop the car, "Go down and check the road." Ren

Yaguang said, "Captain Tan is smart."

Xie Qing understood and teased, "Captain Tan, don't you dare to assume the greatest malice?"

Captain Tan said, "Better safe than sorry."

Xie Qing turned on the headlights and got out of the car with Ren Yaguang. They found the right angle and looked at the road ahead. As expected, they saw more than twenty shiny little nails.

Ren Yaguang scolded, "These scoundrels should all be arrested."

Xie Qing said, "They are a mob, and Lishan County can't do anything about them."

The two of them picked them up one by one in the stinging northwest wind.

It was estimated that the village was indeed poor and there were only a limited number of nails. After picking up this batch, there would be no more.

Xie Qing successfully got out of this mountain road, left Lishan County, and returned to Anhai City Bureau before eight o'clock.

Tan Yi organized the interrogation without stopping.

Xie Qing listened to the interrogation while eating oranges.

Since the person was captured and the person was captured, there was nothing to deny. As

soon as Tan Yi entered, Chang Youxin confessed.

"This big coin is the one that Wei Fenfang tied to the lantern rope, right?"

"Yes, it belongs to her."

"Did Bai Yun tell you that?"

"Yes."

"How did you jump into the Lu family's yard?"

"I stepped on it a few times and knew there was a brick pile in the alley. I moved a few bricks, stepped on it, and then went down the coal chute."

"Bai Yun thinks this big coin is valuable?"

"Yes, I taught her that this is a carved mother coin and is very valuable."

"Then why didn't you buy it, or deceive Wei Fenfang?" "

Bai Yun told her about antiques. As soon as I mentioned buying it, she knew it was valuable."

"Then you could have just robbed it, but why did you kill people?"

"I didn't mean to kill anyone. I had just untied the big money and was about to fasten the nut when she came out. I got nervous and pulled the light cord tight, and the light came on. She knew me, and I was confused, so I picked up the knife from the stove, and cried... I didn't mean to, I really didn't mean to!"

Chang Youxin cried for a long time.

Just when Xie Qing thought the interrogation was over and was about to leave, Tan Yi spoke again.

He said, "You haven't learned the craft well enough. This is not a real mother coin, but a cast mother coin."

Chang Youxin went crazy immediately, "You know nothing. This one has no trace of casting. It is thicker than the mother coin and the carving is exquisite. It is definitely a mother coin."

Tan Yi said, "Clean off the grease on it, and you will find that the characters on this copper coin are not wide at the top and narrow at the bottom. The three-dimensional sense is much worse."

Chang Youxin said, "You are talking nonsense. You need to practice for a few more years if you want to fool me. I have been in this business for fifteen years. How could I not know whether it is a mother coin? Don't you just want me to regret it? I already regret it. I regret it so much. What else do you want? Ahhhh..."

Chang Youxin collapsed.

Tan Yi walked out of it with great pride.

Xie Qing raised her thumbs up, "Captain Tan is awesome."

Tan Yi said innocently, "I didn't lie to him. This one is really not a mother piece. If you don't believe me, we can find an expert to identify it."

Xie Qing: "..."
