Chapter 24: Common Ground
To be honest, what Luo Sen is most interested in in the three peers in Xicheng is, of course, the iron of the Zhao family.
Because it is closely related to his next gun-making plan.
In order not to make his subsequent investigation of Zhaojia Iron Shop look too abrupt, Lawson decided to lay the groundwork first.
Only then did he deliberately mention the shoes of the Chen family.
But he never thought that after hearing Rosen's knowingly question, Zheng An nodded to Zhan Linwen and said, "Also, since you came to Jinxiu Street, it is really impossible to go to my sister-in-law's house to see." ”
Hearing this, Zhan Linwen's face couldn't help but secretly flash a trace of indignation, and then nodded: "Reasonable." ”
And Lawson asked confusedly, "Sister-in-law?"
Zheng An sighed and explained to Rosen: "This eldest brother of the Chen family, Chen Zi'an, was originally the manager of our adjudication department, and he was older than me, but unfortunately he died in an arrest mission, leaving only a pair of orphans and widows, and the child's intelligence is ...... Later, in order to make a living, my sister-in-law took Brother Chen's shirt and opened this shoe shop, and our company has helped me inside and out over the years, which has today's reputation. ”
Hearing this, Rosen realized that the Chen family was still an orphan of a martyr, so he naturally showed a little respect.
"In that case, then we should take a look. ”
Zheng An nodded, and took the first step to take Rosen towards the Chen family's shoe shop, while Zhan Linwen seemed to be deliberately two steps behind, and secretly sighed.
As soon as he entered the door, Zheng An seemed to have walked into his own house, and shouted with a smile on his face: "Sister-in-law!"
A woman who was sitting behind the counter to settle accounts raised her head, glanced at Zheng An, and said lukewarmly, "Investigate the case again?"
Zheng An walked to the table, poured himself a pot of tea, and said with a smile: "Isn't it the case of the daughter-in-law of the Qian family, I found some new clues in the past two days, so I came over to take a look." ”
"Hmm. The woman answered, looked at the accounts, and asked casually, "Have you caught the murderer?"
"No, I don't. Zheng An shook his head, picked up a pair of embroidered shoes, and said with a smile: "Hey, sister-in-law's craftsmanship is really getting more and more exquisite, and these shoes are definitely worn on my family's feet like a little fairy daughter." ”
The woman replied without raising her head: "Thirty wen." ”
So Zheng An could only politely and embarrassingly put down the shoes in his hand and asked, "By the way, what about Da Zhuang?"
"Ducks in there. ”
Hearing this, Rosen wanted to laugh but didn't dare to laugh, so he could only lower his head, hold his breath, and follow Zheng An into the inner courtyard.
Then I saw a big fat boy in his twenties following behind a group of ducklings, leaning in his waist and shouting happily: "Gack, quack, quack!"
Seeing this, Rosen finally understood why Zheng An said that this Chen family kid had a problem with his intelligence.
I couldn't help but sigh secretly.
"Da Zhuang, Da Zhuang!" Zheng An bent down and shouted to the Chen family kid with a smile on his face.
"Uncle Zheng!" Although Da Zhuang's intelligence is not high, he can at least recognize people, and after seeing Zheng An, he trotted over, and then laughed and jumped on Zheng An's body.
Rosen immediately raised his hand to cover his eyes, unable to bear to look at this sad scene.
"Click!"
Sure enough, soon Zheng An was pressed to the ground and shouted, "Oh, my waist ...... My waist ......"
Rosen opened his eyes, and saw that the big man was about to crush Zheng An into a piece of paper, so he hurriedly stepped forward to help him up, and although Zheng An grinned with his teeth, the smile on his face did not decrease, and he pinched the fleshy face of Da Zhuang very dotingly.
"We're really getting stronger and stronger!"
"Big Strong, Big Strong, Quack, Quack!"
Zheng An rubbed his old waist and smiled at Da Zhuang: "Okay, let's go play, uncle will bring you delicious food in a few days." ”
Hearing this, Da Zhuang immediately danced happily: "Eat meat, eat meat, eat meat!"
"Haha......" Zheng An smiled and shook his head: "Okay, good, eat meat and eat meat." ”
After getting the promise, Da Zhuang turned his head to chase his duck friends, and Zheng An said to Rosen: "Actually, sometimes I envy this kid, who can live so carefree for the rest of his life, who says it's not a blessing?"
Lawson nodded approvingly: "Yes......"
The two then returned to the front hall, where they saw Zhan Linwen seemingly whispering something to the woman.
Seeing that Lawson and Zheng An were going and returning, Zhan Linwen took two steps back with a wry smile on his face and said no more.
The atmosphere in the arena seemed to be a little awkward.
Seeing this, Rosen couldn't help coughing dryly twice, and asked with a smile on his face: "Sister-in-law, I heard that after the Qian family went to the cloth village to buy cloth that day, she lost her whereabouts, I don't know where you saw her at that time?"
The woman raised her eyelids, but instead of looking at Lawson, she asked Zheng An, "Who is he?"
Zheng An smiled: "It's a newcomer from our company, and today he followed us to investigate the case......
Before Zheng An could finish speaking, the woman interrupted: "I was busy greeting guests that day, and I didn't pay much attention to where that girl went after leaving the cloth village. ”
Rosen smiled and arched his hand: "I see." ”
After that, Lawson turned around and walked towards the outside of the store, while Zheng An was stunned, and then reacted and said with a smile: "Sister-in-law, then we will go first, you are busy, I will come to see Da Zhuang when I have time." ”
The woman waved her hand and returned her attention to the ledger, and until the end, she did not look at Zhan Linwen again.
Zhan Linwen reached out and touched the beard on his chin, as if he wanted to say something, but after all, he was not bored, he paused slightly, and then turned around and left with Zheng An.
As he walked to the door, he suddenly saw a woman rushing into the shoe shop in a rage, smashing the cloth shoes in her hand on the counter, and said menacingly: "Boss! What's going on here? I've changed these shoes twice, and I still can't wear them! I don't care, you have to give me an explanation today!"
Hearing this, Zheng An subconsciously prepared to rush in for the Chen family, but was pulled by Zhan Linwen.
"Let's go. Zhan Linwen shook his head, and forcibly dragged Zheng An to the door of the cloth village on the opposite street, and Lawson had already gone in to ask the boss for questioning.
"My lord!" Zheng An looked angry, and rarely looked a little anxious.
And Zhan Linwen sighed: "Sister-in-law doesn't want to see us, if you intervene rashly, it will make things worse, and then let Xiaolinzi and them deal with it." ”
Zheng An frowned, and after a long time, he finally stomped his feet in annoyance: "Hey!"
After a while, Rosen came out after asking, and saw that Yuan Bo, the unlucky thing, was whispering something to Zhan Linwen.
"How's it going?"
Zheng An waved his hand and said: "According to the conditions you provided, a total of six people have been arrested, and as for whether there is a breakthrough, we can only wait until we bring them back for trial." ”
Lawson nodded and asked again, "What about that Zhao Gongzi from Si Le Fu?"
Unexpectedly, Rosen was still thinking about this, Zheng An was stunned, and then said: "I have already sent someone to call him, don't worry, I can't run away." ”
"Hmmm......"
At this moment, Yuan Bo had already finished reporting to Zhan Linwen, who waved his hand and asked Yuan Bo to take people back to the adjudication department first, and then said to Rosen: "Everything that should be investigated today has been checked, what doubts do you have?"
Lawson hesitated and said: "Judging from the distance we have just traveled, if the Qian family goes home directly after buying the cloth, it will take less than half a pillar of incense, and Jinxiu Street is a busy city, and there is an endless stream of pedestrians passing by, if it is really taken by thieves, it is impossible not to find any clues." ”
Zhan Linwen frowned secretly and said, "What do you want to say?"
"Your Excellency. Lawson clenched his fists and bowed, and said slowly: "I want to go to the garrison mansion and Yihuafang again." ”
Hearing this, Zhan Linwen couldn't help but question: "Didn't you say before that the death of the Qian family is the key? Why do you have to investigate the other two cases?"
Rosen nodded and said, "Yes, the Qian family is the most important of the three victims, but this does not mean that the other two have no need to investigate, but the severity is different." ”
Zhan Linwen's eyebrows were almost twisted into pimples, and his eyes continued to scan between Rosen's eyebrows, and after a while, he finally waved his hand: "It's okay." Lao Zheng, you go back to interrogate the suspect first, and if you find anything, report it immediately. ”
"Yes!" Zheng An clenched his fists and gave Rosen a deep look before turning to leave.
After the judges and officials evacuated Jinxiu Street one after another, Zhan Linwen said slowly: "You should know that we are running out of time. ”
Rosen replied with a serious face: "The little people will definitely live up to the expectations of adults." ”
……
A moment later, Rosen came to the garrison mansion under the leadership of Zhan Lin Wen, but unfortunately he did not see the legendary Lin Dutong, but was received by Lin Dutong's mother.
"My son has been busy with military affairs recently, and he rarely sees a person, if he is lazy, I hope that Lord Zhan will bear with me. ”
"Madame is serious, Zhan Mou came here this time, mainly to check Qingbi's relics again, I don't know if it's convenient?"
When the old lady heard the name of her granddaughter, she immediately looked sad, wiped the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief, and then sat down on the chair with the support of her subordinates.
"Little Five, you can take the two adults to the lady's boudoir to have a look. ”
As soon as the words fell, a clever little guy immediately walked over from the side and said to Zhan Linwen: "Lord Zhan, please come with me." ”
Zhan Linwen saluted the old lady, Shi Shiran took Lawson out of the inner hall, and soon arrived outside Lin Qingbi's boudoir.
Suddenly a low whimper came from it.
Seeing this, Xiao Wu hurriedly explained: "It should be Miss's personal maid before her death, Cuiyun." ”
Zhan Linwen nodded and paced in.
Rosen asked more: "This girl is heartfelt, it's been so many days, and she is still so sad." ”
Xiao Wu shook his head and sighed: "Adults don't know, Cuiyun has always felt that Miss's death has something to do with her." ”
"Huh?" Rosen's eyes lit up, "What do you say?"
"Hey. Xiao Wu explained to Lawson in a low voice: "The second day of Miss's murder is Lanhui, and it is said that Zhao Gongzi of Si Le Fu will also go, so Miss originally planned to dress up......"
Hearing this, Rosen couldn't help but raise his eyebrows slightly.
It's Zhao Gongzi of Si Le Fu again.
Who is this man?
Both victims were related to him, so why didn't the adjudication division find out before?
There is no doubt that this Zhao Gongzi is not on the list of suspects given to Rosen by the task force, after all, the task force only sees the files of the adjudication department, and all inferences and investigations are based on this.
However, before this, the Adjudication Division had not investigated the legendary Zhao Gongzi at all.
Of course, his name is not on the file.
But he never thought that this time Rosen experienced the on-site investigation and had such an unexpected gain!
"What does this have to do with that emerald cloud?"
"Adults listen to the little one first, I heard that this Zhao Gongzi has some quirks, he likes ......" Xiao Wu lowered his voice again: "I like women's feet, so originally the day before the Lan Hui, it was Cuiyun who was responsible for picking up the customized foot ornaments for the young lady, and the small chain was also seen, it was indeed beautiful, but I never expected that Cuiyun suddenly had a high fever that day, so I ......"
Hearing this, Lawson finally understood where Cuiyun's self-blame came from.
In the dark, he seemed to think of something.
But before Lawson could carefully stitch the rings together, he heard Zhan Linwen in the room speak: "Don't you want to see Qingbi's relics?
