The Life of a Son-in-Law in a Courtyard House

Wu Tiejun sneered: "Now they can't deny it even if they want to."

We can also verify fingerprints.

Although it's a bit of a hassle, once some of their fingerprints are on the money, they can't deny it even if they want to.

Yang Dalin really didn't know that police officers these days are so good at checking fingerprints.

Yang Dalin had watched some movies and TV dramas and knew that when the Japanese invaded Northeast China, it seemed that some documents not only had photos of people pasted on them but also had fingerprints registered.

This suggests that fingerprint verification technology was already in widespread use at that time.

Yang Dalin asked Wu Tiejun, who was standing next to him.

I just learned that fingerprint verification methods existed in ancient my country.

The earliest record is that Song Ci, the real-life inspiration for the character played by He Jiong (who is also known as Sha Zhu), wrote a book called "The Record of Injustice Rectified."

That includes the system's fingerprint verification method.

In 1955 or 1966, the "Ten Fingerprint Analysis Method" was promulgated, establishing a scientific fingerprint identification system.

While DNA verification technology is still some way off, my country began developing fingerprint verification methods a long time ago.

This technology may have existed in dynasties even earlier than the Song Dynasty.

In ancient times, transactions such as house deeds would require people to sign and then put their fingerprints on the document. If the fingerprints could not be verified, they would not be allowed to be pressed.

Well, now these people just need to deny it.

There are plenty of ways to deal with it.

As long as you're not wrongly accused, give the Great Memory Restoration Technique a try.

These people will have to be let go sooner or later.

Yang Dalin and Tian Xueyi were waiting in the office.

Wu Tiejun quickly found out the addresses of the other people.

Yang Dalin could clearly see the bloodstains on Deputy Captain Wu's hands.

I guess some unlucky guy got punished.

Yang Dalin and Brother Tian then followed them to search the residences of several other people.

These people don't have much money in their area, but Tian Xueyi is worried that it won't be easy to recover all the stolen money.

So I took Yang Dalin with me and asked him to help me look for it.

Nothing is missing.

The problem is that some people might vomit, but not completely.

They might hide the money in several different places, and then only reveal one of them.

This kind of thing happens often.

After an afternoon of searching, they found quite a few more banknotes.

But far fewer than that Wang Dashun.

It seems Wang Dashun is quite stingy.

The other six people combined didn't even have two thousand yuan.

The lion's share is with Wang Dashun.

As for why he only hid in one place, it's probably because there was an injured person in that room, plus he was quite confident.

After a long and tense interrogation, the truth finally came to light.

Wang Dashun's original name was Li Muhe. He was 42 years old and originally from Anzhou, Henan Province.

He was a notorious bandit leader before liberation.

He has traveled to many places.

Good at learning various local dialects.

A few years ago, a capitalist stole from many wealthy people, leaving behind a lot of nice clothes.

He had been behaving himself for a while, but food became scarce, and being a lazy and gluttonous person, he simply couldn't get enough to eat.

He then contacted a group of his cronies from various places and resumed his old ways.

I came to Beijing before the Lunar New Year.

He was just passing by, but after looking around the square, he noticed that there weren't many powerful figures around. He didn't see anyone protecting this place, probably because it had been severely attacked by the railway bureau before.

He thought this place was a good place.

We could do it.

So he pretended to be a fellow villager and got to know Grandpa Wang, who was sweeping the floor.

Then pretend to be someone who can't live at home.

They gained Mr. Wang's trust by deceiving him.

Seeing that he was pitiful and spoke with a strong local accent, Grandpa Wang wanted to help this fellow villager.

Let him say it's his cousin.

They took him home.

After three days of figuring out his cousin's situation, he had some of his men deliberately cause trouble and beat up Grandpa Wang.

He offered to help Grandpa Wang go to work.

He refused the salary, considering it a way of repaying his kindness.

As long as I can get food and not starve, that's fine.

Once Grandpa Wang's injury has healed, we'll return the job to him.

In this way, even if Grandpa Wang's injury takes a hundred days to heal, he can rest for three months without any problems.

My salary will not be reduced by a single penny.

Seeing that this old man was diligent, resourceful, and took care of his food, drink, and even his bodily needs, Old Wang trusted him.

As a result, Li Muhe took his place at work and led his men to commit crimes wildly in the train station square every day.

He looked down on the poor, so he made his men dress up in nice clothes and look like rich and powerful people, and they would steal from the rich, officials and those with formal jobs.

These people have money and tickets.

If you steal a lot, losing a little isn't a big problem.

The seventh person arrested was indeed problematic; the other five didn't recognize him, and he was only known to Li Muhe.

He was specifically tasked with keeping an eye on the people at the entrance of the Public Security Bureau for Li Muhe.

I never steal anything.

He was also the one who handled communication with the other five people.

The other five people had never seen him before.

They would communicate using notes or special symbols.

It felt a bit like a secret rendezvous between spies.

That's a pretty sophisticated move; no wonder Captain Dou hasn't been able to catch anyone.

The public security brigade mainly catches ordinary petty thieves and thieves.

In the train station square, they are constantly exposed to petty theft and fights.

It's not always possible to catch a professional thief like that.

Moreover, Li Muhe had already decided that he would stay for a few more days and then prepare to leave.

He will not stay in one place for more than three months at most.

In some places, they might just make a quick buck and leave, but here they've stayed for over a month. It's because the profits are really high, and no other patrons are chasing them away yet.

They took longer to finish.

Whenever he spotted a powerful tiger nearby, he would immediately run away.

This Li Muhe is very cunning and cautious.

Unfortunately, I failed today, I failed because of Yang Dalin.

It can be said that even the most cunning fox cannot escape the hunter's grasp.

The amount involved is enormous, and this group may face the risk of being forced to eat peanuts (a metaphor for financial ruin).

I guess I'll never be able to go back to my hometown again.

That evening, Captain Dou Xiaolong had the canteen prepare some good dishes to specially entertain Yang Dalin and Tian Xueyi.

Without Yang Dalin, Captain Dou would have had a headache for who knows how much longer.

After all, some cadres had indeed been robbed, and they had all complained to Director Zhang, Captain Dou's superior.

During the drinking party, Captain Dou and Deputy Captain Wu implied that they still wanted to poach Yang Dalin's girlfriend.

"Brother, you really have a talent for being a policeman. Why don't you transfer to our station?"

Now that you're here, I'll definitely give you a big job.

"If you don't like it, I'll give you the vice-captain position. Later, I can give you my current position too, how about that?"

Yang Dalin actually quite likes being a police officer.

The sense of accomplishment from catching a bad guy is still great.

Unfortunately, he knew that this industry would be severely impacted in a few years.

Moreover, the leader has been ousted and will be crippled in both legs in the future.

He went abroad for medical treatment, but an unexpected incident occurred.

The railway police might not be hit as hard, but they would still have to arrest many people against their will.

He really didn't want to get involved in these messy things.

He was just thinking about how to refuse without hurting the relationship when Tian Xueyi spoke up.

"Captain Dou, you're overthinking it. If anything happens, my apprentice and I can help each other out. Isn't it inappropriate for you to poach my apprentice right in front of me?"
