10. Meng Heng, an expert in solving cases
Here, Meng Heng just moved into a new house and expanded his new business.
On this day, after performing a hypnotic treatment for the family of a wealthy businessman, he was going straight home, but he stumbled when he passed a lively street market on the way.
At this time, when the lights are on and the crowds are crowded, the stalls on both sides are set up, and the road is also full of people.
However, there seemed to be an argument at a street corner stall, and the crowd of onlookers grew larger and larger, blocking the carriage in which Meng Heng was riding.
Meng Heng had to get out of the car to find out the situation.
Getting closer, I vaguely heard the noisy scolding inside, it didn't seem to be an ordinary battle for buying and selling prices, Meng Heng pushed aside the crowd, approached to see, and understood what was going on.
It turned out to be a jade stall, and the stall owner suspected that a male customer had stolen something, but the male customer insisted that he had not stolen something.
The stall owner was anxious, and he also called the arrester in the yamen, threatening to arrest the male customer and put him in prison, not afraid that he would not admit it.
At this time, Na Kuai also looked at the two of them with a headache.
Meng Heng glanced at the stall lightly, only to see that the jade ornaments with delicate shapes were placed on it, if someone had the intention to steal, it was indeed easy to hide people's eyes and ears, and take the sheep by hand, I am afraid that unless the body is searched, it will be very difficult to find the lost jade.
Thinking of this, he glanced at the stall owner sympathetically, and was about to turn back boredly, but this look stopped his gaze and hooked his lips playfully.
The man's posture and expression all indicate that he was lying.
The angry expression on the man's face was exaggerated, but there was a hint of cunning in his eyes, and while he accused the other party of stealing, his right hand always involuntarily touched the strap around his waist.
Subconscious movements are the most revealing secrets of a person's heart, and perhaps the "lost" jade is hidden in the stall owner's belt.
Meng Heng smiled invisibly.
Then he looked at the young man who was accused of being a thief, the muscles on his face were tense, his lips were pursed to show real indignation, and his eyes were like torches, as if he was silently declaring that he was innocent and falsely accused.
It's a pity that the onlookers present were deceived by the stall owner's superb acting skills, and people always subconsciously sympathized with the plaintiff.
Even the arrester seemed to have been persuaded by the stall owner's arguments and planned to take people to the yamen.
Meng Heng glanced at the fast-catching official uniform.
Red stripes on a blue background, embroidered with a square hollow pattern on the collar, and red tassels on the crown. It is the catch of Suncheonfu.
Meng Heng raised his eyebrows, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he called out to stop the catcher: "My lord, please stay." β
He turned his head quickly, looked at Meng Heng suspiciously, looked him up and down, and saw that he was just a mediocre-looking young man, so he said impatiently: "What's the matter with you?" β
Meng Heng arched his hand and said with a smile: "There is no him, it's just that the grass people have doubts about this case." β
He paused, saw that the catcher's eyes changed slightly, and said: "Just now, the grass people also listened to the truth of some things here, and after thinking about it carefully, they had a different conclusion from the stall owner, and they felt that there was another hidden story in this case, and they couldn't help but let people know, so they wanted to come and tell the adults." β
As soon as his voice fell, the onlookers were in an uproar, some looked at each other and began to reflect on the case, some discussed and suspected that the young man was grandstanding, and more were just pointing and planning to watch a good show.
The stall owner's face suddenly fell, looked at Meng Heng with an unkind face, and shouted, "Where did you come from?" What a nosy! β
Meng Heng didn't pay attention to it, and only said calmly and unhurriedly in the voice of the catcher: "My lord, just ask the grass people and this stall owner and customer to ask one or two, and the truth will naturally come out." β
He looked at the young man with his eyebrows and didn't say anything, and after a while, he said in a deep voice: "You go and ask." But," in the middle of his sentence, he changed his words and threatened: "If you can't ask anything, you will be convicted of disturbing business." β
The smile on the corner of Meng Heng's mouth did not change at all: "There is no such possibility." β
He turned, looked at the crowd, and then turned his gaze back and forth between the stall owner and the young man, hooked his lips and smiled, and then walked up to the man and took a stand.
"Sue me, did you steal the jade from this stall?" The young man asked in a loud voice, the eyes that looked at each other were like a clear lake, and people couldn't help but want to believe it.
The young man frowned, as if assessing the boy's credibility, and after a long pause, he finally replied with a sigh, "There is no such thing." β
The crowd burst into disdainful laughter.
Meng Heng nodded, he paced in front of the stall owner again, and said loudly: "Since that person said that he didn't steal your family's jade, then you are wronging him?" Let's be honest. β
The stall owner snorted disdainfully, and everyone laughed too.
I thought that this young man had some real ability, and he dared to stop the arrest when he saw what the truth was, but he didn't expect it to be such a stupid and simple thing, just based on the defendant's words, he believed it to be true, and ran over to cross-examine the plaintiff.
didn't see the wonderful scene, and a few of the onlookers shook their heads again and again, intending to leave.
Unexpectedly, something happened at this moment.
The stall owner, who had just been upright, changed his tone at this time, and his arrogance was swept away, and he knew everything about the young man like a deflated ball.
ββWhat happened? What just happened?
- I don't know! All of a sudden...... Look, the stall owner has confessed!
The crowd exclaimed.
The owner of the jade stall was already sweating profusely, and the young man's dark and deep eyes were like a vast fog swamp, enveloping his whole person, and making his consciousness involuntarily follow the young man's questioning.
"I want to hear the truth." The boy said in a calm and gentle voice.
"Yes...... I saw the man linger in front of the stall for half an hour...... I didn't want to pay for it...... I think he's unlucky...... He accused him of stealing the jade pendant...... "The man replied expectantly.
"Oh? I see. Meng Heng smiled: "What about the jade pendant?" β
"In ...... ...... in his waist," the man replied slowly.
Meng Heng took a step forward and stretched out his hand to neatly pull out the jade pendant on the man's waist, and the jade pendant drew a graceful arc in the air.
The crowd was in an uproar again. It's just that this time I'm either marveling at the divine turn of the case, or I'm impressing the young man.
"The physical evidence is here, the plaintiff himself has overturned the case, and the truth of the case has become clear." Meng Heng smiled lightly and handed over the jade pendant in his hand.
Catch Kuai took a deep look at Meng Heng. After a long time, he took the jade pendant, glanced at the young man again, and escorted the stall owner back to the yamen.
Meng Heng stood in place, looking at their backs with a smile and a silent smile.
Gossip spreads unusually fast in any era, especially fresh anecdotes with reversed plots.
In just three days, the talented man Dr. Meng who sat in the Yichun Building had another layer of magical color on his body - "Meng Zhenyan", which means that as long as Dr. Meng goes into battle, no matter whether you are black or white, good or bad, you have to speak the truth and speak from the bottom of your heart.
There are even rumors that the long-bodied young man is described as a thunderbolt with an iron face, and the cold-faced young man only stands there, and he is so frightened that the traitorous villain cries and grabs the ground, declares his bad deeds, and kneels on the ground to beg for mercy.
In this regard, Meng Heng only smiled meaninglessly. He is concerned about the effect of the spread of these messages.
He was not disappointed, and five days later, someone came to the door with a large deposit to ask for a meeting.
The person who came was the arrester who dealt with the jade stall case before, and the official of Shuntian Mansion.

Chen Ping looked at the young man standing upright in the hall, and a touch of anxiety and happiness flashed between his eyebrows.
He is the chief of the Shuntianfu Criminal Prison Division, although the official is not small, and he is the envy of the neighbors in the township on weekdays, but the burden on his body is really heavy.
Not to mention that he is in the capital, a place of right and wrong, where there is a mixture of fish and dragons, and there are many cases involving a wide range of people at every turn.
But the boy in front of him is different!
That day at the jade stall on the street, he saw with his own eyes the young man's extraordinary skills, but with three or two sentences, he forced the jade stall owner to surrender and spit out the truth.
It's so fast and efficient......
If you can invite the teenager over for your own use, what is the point of the KitKat unsolved case?!
Thinking of this, Chen Ping glanced at Lord Yin again.
I saw that Lord Fu Yin, who was sitting in the hall, frowned slightly, as if he was a little skeptical about the ability of the rumored "Meng Zhenyan".
Seeing this, Chen Ping hurriedly spoke: "My lord, this Mr. Meng's ability is what I have seen, and there will be no fake. Moreover...... These cases have been pending for several days, and I can't think of any other way at the moment, so I might as well ask Mr. Meng to try one or two. β
Lord Fu Yin pondered for a long time, nodded, turned his gaze to the young man who had been standing quietly, and said, "Okay, then please ask this Meng ...... Childe give it a try. He waved his hand, his tone a little low and impatient: "Don't wait, let's start now." β
"Yes." Meng Heng said lightly, "But in order to save time, please bring those suspects with you." β
