Chapter 35: Handling Cases by Imperial Order
"Well, I just wanted to convey Grandma Lin's concern for you, but I added some minor embellishments."
After hearing these words that would obviously make people angry, Keqing put away the sword in her hand.
"Yes, I appreciate your honesty and straightforwardness."
Keqing placed her hands on the table in front of Gu Sanqiu: "Then I'll be frank. Recently, something needs your help as an incense burner."
"Tell me what it is first, and then I'll consider whether to refuse."
"There seem to be some child abduction cases in Liyue Harbor recently, and the Thousand Rocks Army still hasn't been able to find any clues."
Keqing took out a file from her desk and handed it to Gu Sanqiu.
"When the Qianyan Army was at a loss, I thought of you first. I hope you can give us some help, or at least provide us with some useful information or something."
"Is this what a tool is? When you need something, you just come and hand over the post. When you don't need it, there's not even a daily greeting."
Gu Sanqiu replied and took the file: "What is the period of time when the cases frequently occur, or is there no fixed time point?"
If it is the former, it means that the other party's trafficking methods have certain limitations and regularities. Using the magic skills of working overtime and squatting to the death will definitely yield rewards.
But if it is the latter, although this method of committing the crime is a bit too unscrupulous, it also reflects the other party's reliance or confidence.
The best situation is that the other party is a self-proclaimed thief, who is easier to deal with.
But if it is purely a tactical move with villains, it might be a bit troublesome.
"There is no fixed time and place. This is the biggest headache for the Qianyan Army."
Keqing frowned. “Both areas of Liyue Harbor have this problem. We even caught some copycats, but we couldn’t find any trace of the perpetrators.”
"Copycat crime?"
"Well, strictly speaking, it is different from ordinary copycat crimes, but these people also target children in different areas at different time periods."
"Since these people were grouped together in the early stages of the investigation, this is the statement being made externally now."
"Then have you ever considered that the people who copied the crime are actually the real murderer, or the cannon fodder of the real murderer, and they are breaking up the whole into small pieces to cause trouble."
"It's possible that they were cannon fodder, but the children abducted by those copycats have been brought back safely."
Keqing rubbed her brows helplessly: "This is why the people still have confidence in the Seven Stars even though the case has dragged on until now."
"In a sense, they have accomplished great things?"
Gu Sanqiu finished reading the file and said, "Can you find someone to take me to the prison to see those copycat prisoners?"
"Okay, I'll take you there now."
"Just sit down and find someone to take me there. I'll take this opportunity to eat something. Girls who don't eat regularly age very quickly, you know."
Gu Sanqiu took out a meat dish, a vegetable dish and a bowl of white rice from his waist: "It will definitely be fresh and of good quality. If you think it's a little cold, ask the secretary to heat it up for you."
"Thank you..."
Keqing hesitated for a moment and then thanked him. She then called a tool from outside and took Gu Sanqiu to the prison to look for information.
"Say it or not, say it or not!"
Gu Sanqiu held a long stick made of rock elemental power in his hand and hit the imitators fiercely.
He had already put a layer of shield on the bodies of those prisoners, so if he hit them not only would there be no scars, but if he controlled the force well he could also seriously injure the opponent's internal organs, thus perfectly avoiding the possibility of appeal afterwards.
Besides, he is a person who burns incense. He has the ability to let those people come to Gu's house for a walk.
It’s never too late to beat human traffickers to death.
If this happened in a fairy-tale style world, they would just pass a note to the King of Hell or the Judge in a matter of minutes, asking them to "take good care" of him.
"We, we really don't know anything . We just saw the opportunity and wanted to secretly make some money..."
Yue Haiting's secretary, who was standing by, broke out in a cold sweat, fearing that this eccentric incense burner would beat these guys to death.
Although I have always hoped that the other party would increase their efforts, this is Liyue's prison after all, and basic rules and regulations still need to be respected.
"Then let me ask you a question. When did you realize that you could make a fortune? In what specific time period did you feel that you could make a fortune?"
Gu Sanqiu pointed the long stick in his hand at several prisoners in turn.
"I've already avoided the scenario of 'blindfolding you and beating you up so you don't have a chance to speak'. If you can't come up with another four, five, six, I don't mind throwing you guys into the Hillicorn camp."
"Well, Gu Xiangjun, this is illegal. There is no legal punishment for this."
"It's okay. I guarantee that they will appear in court intact. They can't be killed."
|( T﹏T )
What I mean is, after being tortured by the Hillilks, do they still have to accept legal sanctions when they come back?
This is too inhumane!
Oh, they are human traffickers themselves, that’s okay.
"I said, we said, stop fighting, stop fighting!"
"Half an hour."
Gu Sanqiu turned his head and looked at the secretary and jailer outside: "Separate them and ask them to write a report each. If there are any contradictions, interrogate them to death. Do you understand?"
"yes!"
The Qianyan Army raised their white tasseled spears and responded to Gu Sanqiu's orders with full energy.
"Gu Xiangjun, the letters of these people are all here. If you find any contradictions after reviewing them, we will intensify the interrogation."
The secretary thought he was being subtle, but Gu Sanqiu rolled his eyes anyway.
"You have written the words 'I want to lynch' on your face. I am a free man and I am good enough to do this kind of thing. I don't want to add any stains to your political resume. Keqing will kill me."
"The basic information doesn't seem to be too contradictory. These guys must have lied during the interrogation."
Gu Sanqiu waved his hand decisively: "I was just trying to trick them. If they were just two or three cats working alone, then the timing of their trafficking and the chance of catching them would not be similar or even the same."
"Tell the people of Qianyan Army outside to punish them severely and catch the big tiger behind them. The confidentiality level of this matter has been raised. You will personally monitor it."
"If the situation is serious, or if the person behind them has some background or connections, they can just tell Keqing, and the Seven Stars of Liyue will tell them the rules of survival in this land."
"yes."
The secretary looked at Gu Sanqiu with admiration. Although he was annoyed at being assigned new tasks, he saw things he could learn from Gu Sanqiu's swift and decisive work speed and unconventional thinking ability.
"Gu Xiangjun, have you ever thought about coming to work at Yuehai Pavilion? Your work ability should not be buried among the people. The world needs more people like you to show your ambitions!"
(￣□￣；)
Gu Sanqiu was stunned. After he came to his senses, he waved his hand and told the secretary to get back to work and not to cause trouble for him.
I'm helping you out with your problems out of friendship, and you actually want to drag me into the super vortex of office slaves?
Don’t even think about it!
