Chapter 724: The Ghosts and Monsters Have Not Been Cleared Away
At Lin Ze's request, there was no ceremony this time, and the appointment document was simply issued.
Matsuzaki also kept complaining that Lin Sang was too low-key. For such a big event, it was normal to convene all the important figures in Pingjin to hold an appointment ceremony!
Lin Ze just said, "Mr. Matsuzaki, there are still many things to do in Tianjin. I have to go back as soon as possible. It doesn't matter whether there is a ceremony or not. As long as I can do something for the empire, it is enough."
Before leaving, Lin Ze went to see Lao Ma and learned about the various rewards he had received from the headquarters.
Lin Ze was very happy when he learned that Boss Dai had applied to his superiors to appoint him as the commander of the Tianjin Garrison.
This Boss Dai is finally getting the hang of it.
Hello, Security Commander!
By the time.......
Lao Ma also said that his superiors had given him several vacancies for the rank of major. When he talked about this, his eyes were full of fanatical admiration.
The effect is different if you can get promoted yourself and if you can lead a group of people to get promoted.
"Okay, they are generous this time. Old Ma, I'll give you this spot."
Lao Ma rubbed his hands awkwardly and said, "Team leader, I am already a major."
"Really? Old Ma, you got promoted pretty fast. I forgot what incident it was because of. I'll try to get you the rank of lieutenant colonel next time."
"Hehe, after the incident with Chen Xianzhou last time, the higher-ups promoted me to major. I am content to be a colonel. In the past, I would not have dared to think about this. Is this considered a senior military officer?"
Lin Ze nodded, "Of course it's a senior officer, Lao Ma, it's not the major that's valuable, it's your position in our system. Okay, be careful, I'm leaving first, contact Niu Saner if you have anything."
Since Lao Ma is already a major, he has no chance of getting these positions. Lin Ze thought about it, Niu Saner, Wang Xiaoshou, Zhuzi, and, yes, Yu Xuecheng.
These people all have a share. If there are not enough places, they can ask the headquarters for more. They dare not refuse to give them.
This kind of military rank has no practical significance, it just means getting an extra salary every month.
But the symbolic meaning is very different.
Even Director Niu was stunned for a long time, and his eyes even turned red.
After all, in everyone’s mind, the South is still the orthodox one, and the military ranks they appoint still feel different!
If there is an ancestral hall, this letter of appointment must be offered.
Guangzong Yaozu belongs to yes.
Everyone was immersed in a happy atmosphere. Even Wang Xiaoshou was smiling, walking straight, and not saying a single swear word.
Now that you are a major, you have to be strict with yourself!
After arriving in Tianjin, everyone was given two days off, but before they could rest for a single day, a major case occurred.
That morning, Lin Ze had just finished breakfast and was not planning to go to the headquarters. He was going to rest at home.
Niu Saner hurried over and whispered, "Captain Zheng of the Tianjin Police Corps called personally. There was a murder in District 6. Three people were killed. These three people were all workers at the port construction site."
Lin Ze stood up suddenly. Port construction was one of the things he cared about most. Of course, he had to take such a big thing seriously.
"Why are these three people in District 6 when they are not at the construction site?"
"The construction site is closed every ten days, so we can rest for one day. I guess these three workers live in District 6."
The Sixth District is located in the south of Tianjin and was previously under the jurisdiction of Jinmen County, so it is outside the city.
Later, as the population in the suburbs grew, some houses were built and some streets were formed, so a sixth district was drawn, which was the same as the establishment of city gate towns in many places in later generations.
But what is a bit strange is that almost all the ruffians and hooligans in Tianjin have been wiped out by Lin Ye. Not to mention murderers, even those who stole things were just passers-by. How could such a heinous case happen now?
Could it be that some bandits have come to Tianjin to commit crimes? But they would only target the rich. Why would they kill a few workers?
"Let's go and take a look at the scene."
The body was found in Tianxiangli, which is considered a relatively good location in the Sixth District. To the west is Ding Family Garden, and to the north, after passing Li Family Garden, you will enter the Special First District. Many businessmen who do not have the money to buy houses in the Special First District live in the Sixth District.
When we arrived at the scene, Xiao Duan was also there.
“Uncle Lin, Captain Zheng sent me here to assist you. The body was discovered by patrol officers, but because the scene was so tragic, no one dared to move, so they protected the scene.”
"The scene is too tragic?"
Xiao Duan hesitated, "You will know after you see it."
After walking two steps forward and turning into an alley, Lin Ze saw three corpses.
They were only wearing pants and no coats. All three of them were cut open and upon careful inspection, their internal organs were missing.
The corpse was extremely stiff, and one of its arms was twisted in a very strange way. Lin Ze put on gloves and squatted down to take a closer look. When he touched it with his hand, he found that the muscles of the corpse were all hard.
The three people had charred marks on their knuckles and obvious burns.
This is a troublesome matter. These people were electrocuted and then disemboweled.
Xiao Duan came over and said, "Uncle Lin, I heard that there were cases of disembowelment in Peking before..."
Of course Lin Ze knew that the diplomat’s daughter was murdered and he was the one who solved the case.
But this time is obviously different.
The murderer's target was very clear. He did not kill randomly. He also used electric shock, which shows that they had the venue and the manpower. These three men were all strong laborers and could not be subdued by three or five people.
But apart from burns, they had no other scars from fighting.
Lin Ze sniffed and smelled a smoky smell.
A burst of crying was heard. Several old people, women and children struggled and cried bitterly, but the patrol police and assistant managers on guard nearby did not let them in.
One of the old ladies cried out, "My son! I tried to persuade you but you didn't listen. Now you have been punished by thunder and even your internal organs have been eaten by evil spirits. My poor son!"
Lin Ze and Xiao Duan looked at each other.
There is both thunder punishment and evil spirits. What’s going on?
Xiao Duan stepped forward and said, "Old man, is one of these your son?"
The old lady just kept crying, and after a while she said, "Wang Dayou is my son, he is diligent and filial, how could he suffer such a hardship! It's all because of his dishonesty!"
Xiao Duan asked again: "Why is he not sincere? Doesn't he respect the gods and Buddhas?"
At this time, a woman who was supporting the old lady pulled her and said, "Sir, my husband never worships gods and Buddhas. Did the Buddha blame him?"
Nowadays, most people worship Buddha and Bodhisattva. The wealthy build Buddhist altars at home, while the poor go to temples to burn incense during festivals or place offerings at home.
Xiao Duan shook his head after asking, "This is a crime committed by someone, it's not the fault of gods or Buddhas, you guys go home, we will solve the case as soon as possible."
Lin Ze saw all of this.
It seems that the ghosts and monsters in Tianjin have not been cleared away yet!
