Originally, Sun Shaozong planned to find a suitable opportunity to hand over the price list to Jia Lian.
Given Wang Xifeng's level of greed, knowing that there is such a list, it will definitely be compared with the cost of building a garden at home. At that time, Lai Dazhong's behavior of enriching his own pockets will inevitably be exposed.
However, this plan also has obvious loopholes.
If Wang Xifeng had also committed corruption when he was supervising the construction of the other courtyard, she and Da Lai would have become two wolves, fearing that they would only end up compromising with each other in the end.
To this end, Sun Shaozong also considered for a time, and sent the price list directly to Jia Zheng.
It's a pity that this second master of the Rongguo Mansion, who is obviously working in the Ministry of Industry, wants to learn from those Hanlin pedants.
If this price list is delivered to him, nine times out of ten, it will be handed over to Da Lai for verification—at that time, not only will he not be able to bring down Da Lai, but Sun Shaozong's true intentions will also be exposed.
It is precisely because of these concerns that Sun Shaozong struggled for a long time and was unable to send the price list.
but…
Today he found a more suitable candidate: Jia Baoyu!
Although Jia Baoyu is still young and has not participated in the management of the Rongguo Mansion, he can't stand his backstage stubbornness!
The biggest reliance of the Lai Da family is the affection in front of the old lady, but this mere master-servant affection, compared with Jia Baoyu, is obviously not of an order of magnitude.
In this case, Jia Baoyu belongs to the victim completely, and there is no possibility of complicity with Lai Da and others. In addition, Baoyu has always been willful and reckless. As long as he can arouse his interest, he will not worry about him not checking to the end. .
Therefore, after calculating the benefits and losses in his mind, Sun Shaozong took advantage of the situation and smiled bitterly: "Isn't the garden at home too small to grow so many flowers and plants? Every year, in order to be able to enjoy chrysanthemums on Chongyang, the family has to make great efforts to put the spring and summer together. It takes only two seasons of flowers and plants to be replaced.”
After a pause, he sighed again: "I just shoveled out the old ones this year, but it happened that I was imprisoned in Beizhen Fusi. People in the family were panicked, so naturally they couldn't care about changing chrysanthemums."
If ordinary people listened to it, 80% would be stunned by the extravagant actions of the Sun Mansion.
But how could wealthy people like Xue Pan and Jia Baoyu care about money
Xue Pan immediately patted his chest and said, "Second brother, it just so happens that I've been tired of watching it for the past few days, so tomorrow morning, I'll have someone shovel all the chrysanthemums and send them to your house!"
"Now that Chongyang has passed, what are you shoveling it for?" Jia Baoyu shook his head and said regretfully: "Although viewing chrysanthemums is a beautiful thing, if it hurts a lot of flowers and plants, it is really bad for the scenery. ."
The way of thinking of this local tyrant and Wen Qing is indeed different from that of normal people!
In his heart, Sun Shaozong nodded his head on the surface: "Brother Bao is right. I have been thinking about it in the past few days. I want to expand the backyard and set aside a flowerbed to save trouble in the future."
After speaking, he said in distress: "It's just that I asked someone to inquire about it. Now the cost of repairing the garden is a bit exaggerated..."
slap~
Without waiting for Sun Shaozong to finish speaking, Xue Pan beat his chest again, and said sternly, "What are you afraid of? If the second brother doesn't have the money, just explain it, and my old Xue will make it up for you!"
This stuff is really...
Sun Shaozong didn't know whether he should be annoyed by his talkativeness or moved by his generosity.
In the end, I had no choice but to say: "If I really lack money, I will definitely not hide it from you. It's just that my biggest worry now is that those profiteers are shoddy—that's right!"
As he said that he suddenly remembered something, he excitedly said: "Brother Bao, isn't that other courtyard in your house almost finished? The craftsmen and merchants are all ready-made! Why don't you help to inquire, if it is still good and cheap If so, I'll save myself finding someone else."
"this… "
Jia Baoyu, like his father, was the most impatient of such mundane affairs in his life, and even meant that the blue was better than the blue.
Therefore, when I heard that I wanted to inquire about these common things, I was a hundred unhappy in my heart.
It's just because of Sun Shaozong's face, but it's not easy to refuse his request.
I was in a dilemma when I heard Sun Shaozong laugh: "Didn't Brother Bao always want to learn criminal detectives? Collecting all kinds of information is one of the basic skills of investigating a case. Imagine if you can't even collect superficial information, what will happen? Can you find out the truth behind the scenes?"
These words hit Jia Baoyu's itch!
In front of Lin Daiyu that day, he boasted that he wanted to 'solve the cause and effect for others', and what else did he say
This big talk has been blown out, and it has also won Daiyu a lot of admiration, but in the past few months, apart from reading some miscellaneous detective stories, he has not made any progress at all - but Xiren passed the storybook and unlocked it again. Several new poses.
Coupled with Daiyu and Tanchun asking from time to time, Jia Baoyu inevitably felt a little anxious.
Therefore, he took the initiative to come here today, in fact, he wanted to ask Sun Shaozong for an idea and see how he could achieve his goal.
Hearing Sun Shaozong talking about the basic skills of investigating a case, he immediately became energized and leaned forward and asked, "Second brother, tell me quickly, what are the basic skills necessary for solving a case?"
Although this is obviously a bit off topic, but seeing Xue Pan also coaxing, Sun Shaozong can only say: "Leave the details aside, I think the most important thing in investigating a case is actually maintaining curiosity."
"Stay curious?"
"Yes, if you are not interested in the case, and you are not even curious about the truth behind the scenes, how can you pursue it perseveringly?"
Jia Baoyu thought about it carefully, it really made sense, and after 'introspection', he said excitedly: "I have no shortage of curiosity! Second brother, go on and say, what else is there?"
"Secondly, it is naturally a keen observation ability. If you can find more information than others at the crime scene, then you will naturally be one step closer to the truth than others."
"Furthermore, it is necessary to accumulate enough knowledge, so that when faced with intricate secret cases, you will not miss any important clues because of ignorance."
"Finally, it is the ability to sort out information. If you can sort out a fairly clear context from the seemingly messy clues, it will definitely make you get twice the result with half the effort in the process of solving the case!"
"There are naturally a lot of other abilities that need to be used, such as good memory ability, but compared to these four, I think they are slightly less important."
Having said that, Sun Shaozong spread his hands and said: "Except for the first item, the most basic of the remaining three items is keen observation. If you can't even collect information well, it means that no matter how rich the knowledge is and the more you can sort out the clues, It is also a place where heroes are useless.”
"I understand!"
Hearing this, Jia Baoyu's eyes were already shining, and he said without hesitation: "Since this is the case, this matter is covered by me, second brother, don't worry, I will check it out for you. !"
It's really best to be fooled by a middle school boy or something.
Sun Shaozong was secretly self-satisfied, but he said with a warm smile on his face: "This is your first time investigating alone, so don't rush to set too high goals - it just so happened that I also collected some materials, prices, etc., and I will give you tomorrow. Send it over for reference."
