The evaluation system of Beijing officials is based on "four standards" and "eight methods" after three years of investigation.

Unqualified officials are demoted or even demoted.

It's about the future. That's understandable. The other party has a distant relative in the matter. When he comes back to impeach him, it's cool.

The backlog of homicide cases in Changle County can be a reason for political opponents to attack.

"How did you die?" Xu Qi'an asked casually.

"I went to the countryside to collect rent. When I came back in the middle of the night, I happened to meet Liang Shangjun in my inner courtyard. It was a bit of a scratch." A colleague tut tut said.

"A witness?" Xu Qian Road.

"My wife heard the news. When she went out to check, she was dead in the hospital. But we found footprints on the outer wall. "

"Is it possible that the enemy acted as a thief?" Xu Qi'an poured himself a cup of tea, took a few preserves from his colleagues and threw them into the cup.

His tone was just like when he discussed the homicide with colleagues in the police station.

"Asked his wife and children, servants, neighbors also asked, the dead recently did not form a feud with people."

"Did the patrol taxi ask?"

"Yudaowei said that there were no suspicious people around that night."

There are three walls in the capital: Palace City, inner city and outer city.

Although there were patrolmen in the outer city, there was no curfew. The gate was not closed all night at twelve o'clock. Merchants could enter and leave the gate freely as long as they made a report in advance and took a book with them.

This system greatly improved the capital's commercial trade and promoted economic development.

Xu Qi'an nodded: "so if it's a burglar, it should be an acquaintance who knows Kangping street like the back of his hand."

"How can I see it?" The Yamen servants were stunned.

"The thief can go in and out of the house at night without being found by the patrolling taxi. It shows that he has stepped on the spot and knows the patrol law of the imperial sword guard very well." While analyzing, Xu Qian instinctively felt for a cigarette in his pocket.

I feel empty.

I can't help remembering that when I was working in the police station, we all sat together in twos and threes, smoking cigarettes and discussing the case.

As a result, he became addicted to smoking.

Several colleagues were surprised and looked at Xu Qian:

"it's very reasonable."

"Why didn't we think of this one."

"Ningyan, after a big prison, people have become smart."

There are no systematic teaching courses these days. Captors rely on their experience in handling cases. The ones with the best performance can be captors.

"You didn't expect it, but Constable Wang must have thought about it. Did you go to the west side of the city and ask?" Xu Qian keeps a low profile and doesn't show off.

Colleague reply: "asked for two days, did not lock the suspect."

In the west of the city is a slum, full of sneakers. When there is a public security problem, the Yamen officers take the white soldiers and run there to catch one.

"How much money have you lost?" Xu Qi'an subconsciously started reasoning in his mind and asked.

A colleague took a look at Xu Qi'an and felt that his tone was a bit like that of the county magistrate. He replied, "I haven't lost it. The dead just came back from the rent collection, and all the money they collected is broken silver. How can the robber escape with a large box of silver after he killed people with copper money and rice grain?"

No!

Xu Qi'an squinted. If I was a thief and stepped on it, I would choose to steal the next day instead of today.

He didn't say this doubt, and continued to listen to his colleagues.

"It's a pity that such a beautiful woman has to be widowed when she is young. That figure, tut Tut, GouLan can't find such a wonderful woman. I'd like to go to bed for a night, even if it's one or two silver. "

"I'm not young any more. I'm only 20 years younger than Zhang. I seem to be in my early 30s. A woman of this age is the most vulnerable to widowhood. "

Hearing this, Xu Qian said with emotion: "how are you, a 30-year-old woman? She is sensible and can hurt people."

However, he was not recognized by his colleagues. People looked at him and laughed and joked

if you want to go all the way to martial arts, you can't break through without breaking through the Qi training. When Yang Qi is dispersed, it is difficult to open the gate of heaven.

Therefore, Xu Qi'an has been holding the Poseidon needle for 19 years, and has not yet subdued the female goblin.

...

the back hall where the county magistrate lives.

His skin was dark, just like the constable Wang of the old farmer on the ridge of the field. He lowered his head and listlessly listened to the scolding of the county magistrate.

The county magistrate, surnamed Zhu, is rich, white and fat. He is from Yanzhou. He is a top three Jinshi of Yuanjing in 20 years. He is good at drilling and not good at official business. He is a scholar who has no professional ability but knows how to be an official.

The advantage is still a conscience, small greed is not greedy, incompetent but also does not disturb the people.

The disadvantage is to treat subordinates bad temper, easy to vomit fragrance.

"Incompetence, what incompetence."

Knowing that Constable Wang still had nothing to gain yesterday, county magistrate Zhu was very angry.

"You are at least an experienced veteran. It's just a homicide case. You have no clue for so many days."Constable Wang is sweating on his forehead.

With the coming of the capital inspection, Zhu county magistrate became more and more irritable... Li Dian Shi did not dare to interrupt, even though he and Constable Wang had been friends for more than ten years.

As Li Dian Shi knows, the county magistrate always wants to rise again. There are two conditions for his promotion: backer and achievements!

There are no achievements, only backers, easy to be impeached, unstable position.

Only with political achievements and backing can we rise steadily.

Where are the achievements?

Beijing inspection is an important assessment standard.

A quarter of an hour later, Zhu county magistrate took back his eyes and took a sip of his tea cup.

Officialdom rules, tea!

Seeing this, Lidian pulled down the constable Wang who kept silent and left in a mess.

...

Constable Wang went back to the rest room with an ugly face. The messy room suddenly quieted down, and everyone carefully looked at Constable Wang.

"Chief, county magistrate Zhu scolded you again?"

Constable Wang rolled his eyes, grabbed the tea cup and took a sip of it: "Damn it, where can I find the thief? What a bad day. I've lost a penny. "

You lost the money. Xu Qi'an shrunk his neck and drank tea to hide his guilty.

Silver is obviously out of your league.

After listening to Constable Wang's complaint, a small captor gave him a bad idea: "how about touching a fish?"

Xu Qian's eyebrows jumped.

Fishing is a professional term in the bottom officialdom!

It means: find a ghost.

Limited by technology and equipment, most of the cases in ancient times were headless, and the detection rate was very low. Sometimes, for the sake of making a difference, officials will find a substitute to replace them.

The process is like this: the local officials first select a group of old men who often commit crimes. Their names are written on the paper and folded. The officials can touch them.

Whoever you touch is the scapegoat.

So it's called fishing.

After the unfortunate ghost was locked, the officials went to lock the people and brought back a set of assembly lines called "Qu Da Cheng Zhao" to the Yamen. No matter how hard the bones were, they also recruited them.

The superior is satisfied, the officials in the middle are appreciated, and the officials are rewarded. Hello, I'm good, everyone.

It's not wrong to be a ghost for death. Anyway, he is a rotten man. Sending him to reincarnation earlier is also for the well-being of the people around him.

There are many similar operations in officialdom.

Constable Wang nodded: "this is the only way. Xiao Li, you can do it. Choose some old people who are mixed up."

Xiao Li was about to nod his head when Xu Qi'an frowned and said, "wait! Chief, there are many doubtful points in this case. It's not impossible to start. "

Xu Qi'an does not recognize this truth.

Although he has not been a policeman for many years, the Three Outlooks he set up at that time are still alive.

Although they are criminals, they can not be punished to death. Even if you live up to your death, it's one yard at a time.

If you find someone to replace you here, you'll get a lot of money there.

Constable Wang lowered his face and did not speak. He gave him an unhappy look.

All the people urged: "Ningyan, don't worry."

"It's impossible for the boss to be scolded every day. Besides, he's just a frequent offender."

Those with a better relationship said, "chief, Ning Yan's family has just been in great trouble. It's hard to avoid being sensitive to such things."

Constable Wang turned a deaf ear and stared at Xu Qi'an. He was not happy and said calmly, "tell me how to check!"

"Give me the file!" Xu Qian is straightforward.
