"If Qian is an official, you can only trust it by five points."
Gu Shen spread out the dossier, walked around the table, and said, "This man is weird. He looks flustered in his words, and his eyes flicker, as if he was afraid that Lao Tzu would not doubt him."
"Big brother, maybe he has a ghost in his heart and is afraid when he sees you." The subordinate said after stuffing a few mouthfuls of steamed buns.
"He's afraid of Lao Tzu?" Gu Shen knocked on the table and sneered, "He's not afraid at all, he just makes you think he's afraid. This man is a ghost, he must have deceived something."
"But the surrounding neighbors have always praised him. There are five families in this alley, and none of them are not affected by his favor. Even if he is out of the alley, on that street, he can be respectfully called 'Master Qian'." Subordinates He swallowed the steamed buns with cold tea and said, "Besides, I think his arms are thin, and if he wants to kill four people and divide their bodies, I'm afraid it won't be possible overnight."
"Is he from Jingzhen?"
"No. He is a native of the West. Five years ago, there was a severe drought in the West. He escaped from the famine and has since settled here. However, several wealthy families in the town once wanted to hire him to be a private house gentleman. I refused and stayed in the alley all the time.” The subordinate also felt strange when he said this, “He was clearly at odds with Chen Ren, but he refused to move out. Moreover, Chen Ren had blackmailed him a lot because he was in debt and had no money. Second-rate."
"How does he get along with the rest of the Chen family?"
"According to the neighbor's reply, Qian is an easy-going person. Except for Chen Ren, if anyone else in the Chen family needs anything, he will also help." The subordinate looked over the confessions and said, "He treats the little girl of the Chen family, That seven-year-old Chen Caoyu is especially good."
Gu Shen closed the files and asked, "How is the Chen family treating Chen Caoyu?"
"Of course it's good." The gray-haired old widow pointed on a cane, walked tremblingly, and said to Jinglin, "Cao Yu's mother wanted her parents to like her when she was a child, and when she was a child, old man Chen often took his daughter out. At that time, although the walls of his family were sluggish, he never took care of his daughter's clothes and snacks. The dowry was prepared early, and the next generation who wanted to marry would have to step down the threshold of his family. But that girl, did not know How could you secretly set a lifelong relationship with someone else, alas, before the door can come out, the person is pregnant first."
The old widow was mixed up by Jinglin and sighed: "The man ran away, and the girl couldn't get married. The girl died a few days after the child was born. Old man Chen lost his sweetheart and treasure, so he naturally wanted the little granddaughter. Treat it as a sore eye."
"I heard that the little girl's uncle is an unassuming person. How do you treat her on weekdays?"
"Okay." The old widow grabbed Jing Lin's wrist and said, "Don't misunderstand that he is treating Caoyu because of Chen Ren's reputation. Although Chen Ren is not a thing, he is good to his niece. He got married early, but he never had any children. The doctor watched it for a while and said that it could not be cured. Since then, his daughter-in-law, Mrs. Zhou, has often told the young ladies in this film that Chen Ren still wants to choose a day to treat the disease. Cao Yuguo took her own name and raised it as her own daughter."
"It's a pity." Jinglin sent the old widow to the door and said, "This alley is deep, you always live here, I'm afraid it will be inconvenient."
"Have lived for many years." The old widow took the dishes and said amiably to Jinglin, "We Honger are sensible and don't bother me at all."
As she was talking, she heard a seven- or eight-year-old child running out of it. The child was fat and tender, and when he saw Jinglin, his white teeth were immediately exposed.
Jinglin was greeting people when he heard Cang Ji whispering in his sleeve: "It's fat and tender, it must taste very good. Jinglin..."
The stone villain punched Cang Ji, and Cang Ji avoided his head and said, "Just think about it!"
Jing Lin was admitted to the hospital. The old widow's yard was smaller than the Chen's, with a wall. A few stones were pressed under the low wall, probably because children often leaned on the wall and looked next door.
"Hong'er and Cao Yu often play together, and the two just lie on the wall and talk." The old widow said when Jinglin looked at the stone.
"It's done." Jinglin smiled politely, "I'll leave here, and I'll make an appointment with the yamen earlier, otherwise the big brother should be in a hurry."
"It's good to go, it's good to go." The old widow sent him out.
When Jinglin went out, Cang Ji said: "This case is messy, first Donglin took the copper bell and realized that you and I were chasing, so he hid here and disappeared. Then the Rakshasa bird appeared in the world, and a family died, you On the contrary, I was targeted by the ghost messenger, and then attracted the drunk mountain monk. Now if I say that this case has nothing to do with Donglin, I don’t believe it. But it has to do with him, and it’s like nothing to do with him.”
"He will definitely reveal some clues." Jing Lin said, "There are no seamless cases in this world."
"People are really cunning." Cang Ji said, "I see that they have different hearts, but this old woman is more honest."
"If you listen to it, it will be dark." Jing Lin said, "Not only do people have different opinions, but they are also very good at disguising."
Cang Ji was about to continue, but suddenly stopped talking.
Jing Lin took a few steps, and sure enough, he heard footsteps behind him. When he was about to leave the alley, someone grabbed his sleeve. Jing Lin looked back, with unpredictable joy and anger in his eyes.
"You are also from the yamen, are you investigating this case?" A Hong, who had just met, took a few steps closer, hugged Jing Lin's leg, raised his head and said innocently, "You buy candy for me, and I will give it to you. Tell a secret."
Jing Lin took A Hong and bought a lot of food. Cang Ji hated his teeth and felt angry. He looked at A Hong coldly, and felt more and more that this fat boy should eat. Because when he was a child, Jing Lin never held him like this.
"He's fat into a ball, can't he walk by himself?"
The little stone man sat on the side, took off the grass crown from the top of his head and made a weave. Hearing this, he made a gesture to Cang Ji, meaning that you used to be as fat as a ball.
Cang Ji said, "Am I the same as him? In your eyes, I am the same as him?"
The stone villain blinked and pretended not to understand.
Cang Ji said, "You and Jing Lin..."
The little stone man put the grass crown on his head, and Cang Ji stopped for a while. This grass crown is precious, because when he saw Zongyin go over the mountain, the stone was not willing to take it off. He has always eaten soft and not hard, so wearing a grass crown, he can only forcefully support the stone villain: "He is ugly as hell, I am fat and good-looking, understand?"
Jing Lin raised his eyebrows very lightly and turned to look at A Hong. It shouldn't be the first time that Ah Hong has asked people for something, and he knows how to order things easily. This child is obviously young, but at this time it is too early to reveal a philistine.
"What secret are you going to tell me?"
Ah Hong sucked his fingers and just glanced around.
"What else to eat, what to play, tell me as much as you can." Jing Lin said.
Ah Hong tiptoed to the food stall, looked around for a while, and said, "I want to eat candy man."
Apart from old man Chen, there is no one who sells candy in this street. Jing Lin didn't answer, A Hong waited for a while, pulled Jing Lin's sleeve a little anxiously, and cried, "Sugar man. If you don't give it to me, I won't tell you!"
"Then I won't listen." Jing Lin rolled his sleeves and wanted to leave.
A Hong wailed in an instant, he grabbed Jing Lin's sleeve and dragged him to the ground crying.
"You don't give it to me!" Ah Hong said, "I told my grandmother, you are going to kidnap me! You are going to kidnap me!"
Cang Ji said coldly: "Not only that, I can eat you."
A Hong thought it was what Jing Lin said. He knew this type of people clearly, and he was not afraid at all. He just thought that Jing Lin was frightening him. He was rolling around, crying non-stop, attracting onlookers and laughter.
Jing Lin was inconvenient to attract attention, so he raised A Hong's back collar and crossed the crowd in a few steps. Ah Hong grabbed his arm, but before he could hold it firmly, he was thrown to the ground. His butt hurt from the fall, and he burst into tears.
"What secret are you talking about." Jing Lin looked at him.
Ah Hong wanted to cry, but felt cold all over. He couldn't help shrinking, stomping his feet and staring.
"Tell me honestly." Jing Lin slowed down, grabbed Cang Ji from his sleeve, and shook it in front of Ah Hong, "I'll give you a puppet to play with."
Cang Ji was unable to guard against it, he was still in the air, not daring to move rashly. His eyes caught sight of Ah Hong's snotty and sticky palm, and he almost climbed back into Jing Lin's sleeve. Fortunately, Jing Lin just shook him and didn't hand it over.
A Hong did not forget to wipe his nose during this relaxation and tense. He wiped his tears and said intermittently: "I... I know who... murdered."
Jing Lin said "um".
Ah Hong said, "I-I saw it. I tell you...you...you buy me some more candy. I'm so afraid...you...you tell others, Master Qian, he killed him!"
He is spying on Jinglin, and children are far more aware of a person's emotions than adults. But he didn't understand that such a terrifying thing did not change Jing Lin's expression.
So Ah Hong screamed at Jinglin: "Master Qian! Killed people! A lot of blood! Red, it's coming over! It's in the yard."
Jing Lin squatted down and raised his index finger to signal him to be quiet. Ah Hong gasped for breath, he was very annoyed that he didn't get the expected reaction, he stared, grabbed a handful of soil, but didn't dare to throw it at Jinglin.
"Tell me." Jinglin said, "Are you and Chen Caoyu playmates?"
"No!" A Hong said bitterly, "No! She stinks to death." Before Jinglin could continue, A Hong hurriedly said, "She is a bitch! Her mother is a bitch! Dirty and stinky, I just Don't play with her. She also cheated on the Master's candy, and she cheated the most! I saw her run into the Master's yard, she ran into the Master's house, they hugged each other, and the Master kissed her."
Jinglin's eyes widened, and he heard Ah Hong uttering obscene words beyond his age in a childish voice full of malice and disgust.
"Little prostitute." Ah Hong almost vomited, "Little bitch!"
Jing Lin stood up suddenly, Cang Ji noticed that he was in a wrong mood, and seeing his gloomy and cold expression, he stared straight at A Hong.
"Money for the job?"
Ah Hong shrank and nodded vigorously. He spat to one side and said, "Disgusting! They took off their clothes..."
"You." Jing Lin leaned over to cover him, "When did you see it?"
Ah Hong was shocked, and he was so scared that he cried directly. But Jing Lin was trapped in his body, and he shook his head in confusion: "I don't remember, I don't remember! Many times, many times..."
Cang Ji didn't understand, what was so many times, what was disgusting? Undress for what? What exactly did Qian Weishi do to Chen Caoyu, which made Jinglin look as cold as autumn frost, and even overflowing with killing intent.
In the middle of the night, Gu flipped through the file, his subordinates yawned and murmured on the case: "Brother, why did you take Chen Caoyu away when you said you killed someone? A seven-year-old girl, following her around will only reveal her whereabouts, whether it's Donglin. It's still money for an official, there's no reason to do that."
Gu Shen's eyes turned red, and he said, "How do I know that?" He paused for a moment, "... In recent years, there have been a lot of kidnappers, and it is possible to take them away and sell them. But if they take away and sell them, they will never be Donglin. what."
"Why? Isn't he a thief himself, stealing things but not people?"
Gu Shen put down the file, raised his head and said, "Because Donglin's girl was kidnapped. He has been running around all these years just looking for his daughter. This kind of person will only hate Ya Po to the core."
When the subordinate thought of something, he gave Gu Shen an embarrassed look.
Gu Shen wiped the vicissitudes of his face and sneered: "Why do I understand him? Because I was kidnapped and sold."
Subordinates were inconvenient to comment, so they had to bury their heads in the confessions. He glanced at a line of words, and sat upright again.
"Big brother." He said, "Why is there a confession? I didn't see it when I entered it yesterday."
Gu Shen reached out his hand and said clearly: "Coaxing the child..." He paused in his voice, then sat up abruptly, and read the words attentively.
"Does Qian Weishi often bring Chen Caoyu home?"
The subordinate nodded and said, "Not only does he often bring the little girl home, but it is also common for him to lead the little girl out."
The pages between Gu Shen's fingers were deeply wrinkled, his face was ashen, and he scolded, "...Damn."
