Chapter 20: Portraits
There are two bungalows behind the county government hall, which is the soap room. After the soap room, it is to the Chongguang door, and the door hangs the gold-lettered plaque of "Tianli Guoju".
Zhang Wenxing stood in front of him and stood under the plaque.
After a while, Wei Yi strode over.
"Lord Wei, is what the official is doing to the hearts of adults?" Zhang Wenxing bowed and asked, with a little smug between the corners of his lowered eyebrows.
Before Wei Yi came to the door because Bai Yiju took the initiative to come to the door, he still thought that he had to grasp this opportunity to be courteous. Helplessly, this Lord Wei looks gentle and polite on the surface, but in fact, he is tall and unapproachable, which makes him feel like he has a hot face and a cold buttocks. He was secretly annoyed that he couldn't seize such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, but when he was leaving, the Li family's murder case broke out, giving him another chance. This time, he wants to win the favor of this celebrity in Bianjing Mansion no matter what.
Wei Yi raised the corners of his lips, as if smiling, "Yes, Zhang County's unjust case was tried well." ”
This Zhang Wenxing is interesting, let him try a girl, he didn't know how to ask after asking two sentences, let him judge an innocent person into a guilty one, he was thorough at all.
Zhang Wenxing's body trembled.
Are these words, these expressions, really praising him or intriguing him?
He sneered, "That's a good plan of Lord Wei, a trick to 'lure the snake out of the hole' will definitely make the real murderer let go of his slack and reveal his flaws." Rest assured, the lower officials are all over the city, and once the murderer shows up and sells the stolen jewelry, the lower officials will arrest him. ”
Wei Yi bowed slightly, and said, "Can you send a servant to appease the Shen family?" ”
"Your Excellency, rest assured, the lower official has ordered the clerk to go and properly appease this matter, and there will be no chaos." Zhang Wenxing replied.
Wei Yi didn't say anything more, and started with his feet raised.
"Lord Wei, the dinner is ready, please!" Zhang Wenxing said busily.
If he remembered correctly, the adult had been busy investigating the case and had not eaten since morning.
"Nope." Wei Yi still waved his hand, "An empty stomach keeps people awake." ”
Walk through the cloister, pass the piano room, bypass the osmanthus tree, nod to the servant, and push open the door of the wing.
Shen Yueran was feasting, holding a braised chicken leg in her left hand and a bowl of bird's nest porridge in her right hand.
"I really didn't misunderstand you, cheeky, fearless, and reluctant." With a hint of mockery on the corner of Wei Yi's lips, he walked to the small couch by the window, and sat down in his robe.
"I didn't mistake you, cold, conceited, cunning." Shen Yueran's mouth was full of oil, and she replied mercilessly.
"Oh-" Wei Yi raised his eyebrows, leaned on the window lattice with one hand, and said with great interest, "I would like to hear about it." ”
Shen Yueran threw aside the uneaten chicken legs, slipped along the porcelain bowl and drank porridge and drank it with a slurp, and only put down the porcelain bowl after a full burp, wiped her greasy hands with a tablecloth, and said, "You don't hesitate to use an innocent woman to lure out the murderer who killed Li Xinyi because of coldness, you are convinced that you can use an innocent woman to lure out the murderer who killed Li Xinyi is conceited, can you come up with a way to use an innocent woman to lure out the murderer who killed Li Xinyi is cunning, how about it, big man, is the folk girl right?" ”
She did not deny that she was frightened and frightened when she was in the lobby, but when she was sent into this room, she immediately calmed down.
Wrong!
Something is very wrong!
The county magistrate is wrong, the man who bought the cake is wrong, and the whole thing is even more wrong!
If they were trying to frame her, there was no need to prepare a lavish room for her after convicting her, and serve her a full hot meal.
If they don't want to, why should they try in such a matter?
Thinking about it, she could only think of one reason-
Lure the snake out of the hole.
Anyway, she is notorious, anyway, she was chased and beaten by the Li family, anyway, she did have a dispute with Li Xinyi, so she was unfortunately selected to become a "bait".
Moreover, from the man who bought the cake on the street, and from the attitude of the county magistrate towards the man who bought the cake, she could also judge that the man who bought the cake was either rich or expensive, and his status was far above the county order, so she could say that he was called a "big man".
"Haha." Wei Yilang laughed, "I still didn't misunderstand you, bold, careful, and smart." ”
He had no intention of hiding his plans from her. He didn't have much time, and it was necessary to rush to Tianshui before August 15, so he could only use this radical method to lure out the murderer.
He came here to avoid Zhang Wenxing's flattery, to calmly sort out the case, and to appease her innocent. But what she didn't expect was that she had thought of it all before he could speak. Dealing with smart people is a lot easier.
Shen Yueran spread her hands and said, "So to say it is to admit it, when do you plan to let me out?" ”
Wei Yi raised his eyes to look at the sunset outside the window, and said, "After the dying dusk, the lonely person is at the beginning, and there is no child." ”
Cast a mist before somebody's eyes!
Shen Yueran rolled her eyes at him in her heart, stepped heavily on her cloth shoes, and walked to the bed of the Arhat covered with clouds and brocade and lay down in his clothes.
After sleeping in the ** high bed for five years, I finally had the opportunity to sleep on the soft Luohan bed once......
She fell asleep in a daze, and woke up in a daze.
The moon is on the branches, the candles are flickering, and it's time.
Feeling a little thirsty, she rolled over and got out of bed to find water, only to see that the man was still reclining on the small couch by the window, with a pen in his right hand and a note in his left, surrounded by discarded papers.
She took a bowl of the three-fresh mushroom soup that had been cold, paced to the man's side, and asked curiously, "What are you doing?" ”
Wei Yi's expression was focused, his eyes lowered, "Investigate the case." ”
Shen Yueran couldn't help laughing, "Don't bully people, don't bully people's daughters, ignorant haven't seen the paperwork to investigate the case." The big man is clearly a portrait, where is the investigation of the case? ”
She's right.
Wei Yi is indeed a portrait.
The paper in his hand, the discarded paper, was all painted with all kinds of portraits.
Wei Yi was silent, still concentrating on holding the pen, thinking about it, drawing it, thinking about it, and changing it again.
After a while, Wei Yi raised the portrait in his hand, "Doesn't it look like it?" ”
"What's not like it?" Shen Yueran was stunned.
"Like a murderer?" Wei Yi Zhengse.
Shen Yueran took a closer look and sneered, "The adults are really bullying the people and the girls are ignorant, where is this like a murderer, this is not even like a person." ”
I saw that the person in the painting was an adult body, but his limbs were short and thin; The gray hair is thick, and the expression is sad, but the eyes are round and the saliva is flowing, revealing the greedy appearance of a child.
"I think it's quite like that." Wei Yi turned his head to look at the portrait, serious.
On the way back from Yizhuang, he was already suspicious.
According to further examination, Li Xinyi was indeed suffocated to death by someone with a rope, but there was not just one strangulation mark, but a total of seven, deep and shallow, long and short.
Seven Ways!
Seven whole ways!
The murderer is bent on taking Li Xinyi's life!
