Seeing that the woman had been kneeling under the hall, silently wiping her tears, Shen Lian was a little unbearable, so she moved a chair for her to sit on.

This is not a flood of sympathy, but she saw that the woman's belly was already slightly bulging, she should have been pregnant, and she was pregnant, so naturally she couldn't kneel for too long.

After she sat down, Shen Lian asked, "Have you been four or five months pregnant?" The woman was a little surprised, and didn't understand how she knew, but she nodded and replied, "Yes, I've been pregnant for four and a half months." ”

Everyone present was very shocked, because none of them saw anything unusual about this woman, but Shen Lian found out when she came, and she had to be admired.

Judging from the words and demeanor of this folk woman, Shen Lian can deduce that the environment in which she lived before should be quite good, because such a thing as upbringing is easy to see.

After waiting for a while, the catcher who had just gone out had already returned, followed by a man, who was Ali.

After walking inside, Ali knelt directly on the ground, looked at Chu Xi who was sitting on it and asked, "My lord came to me for Zhang Sheng's business?" ”

"That's right, you can tell Miss Shen specifically."

Chu Xi responded simply, and then shifted the topic to Shen Lian.

Now that she has been asked to help solve the case, Chu Xi doesn't have so much care, let her be in charge of everything, and she can't have any jealousy.

Ali's eyes immediately fell on Shen Lian's body, "You can tell me any questions you want to ask." ”

"Tell me what happened."

Chu Xi didn't understand her words a little, after all, the woman had already said it very clearly just now, and there was nothing unclear, and she didn't understand what was the point of saying it again.

But standing on the side and silently watching Yin Chen, who didn't speak, she knew very well what her purpose was for doing this.

In order to compare the words of the woman and Ali.

Although this woman doesn't look like she is lying, she has to guard against others, and everything she shows may not be the truth.

In order to prove his guess, Shen Lian thought of this method.

Because people's way of thinking is different, even if they experience the same thing, but when describing, the focus is different, and there will be deviations in what is emphasized.

Now it depends on whether what the two of them say is the same, and if they are all similar, it can basically be concluded that they have discussed it together before, and it will be like this.

Ali began to describe.

When he went to the place where he was on the boat, he found that the boatman was sleeping on the boat, but he didn't see Zhang Sheng, so he woke up the boatman and asked him what was wrong.

The boatman who woke up said that he didn't see Zhang Sheng coming, he had been sleeping, and if Zhang Sheng came, he would definitely wake him up.

It was already the appointed time, and no one came, so Ali waited for a while, but still didn't see anyone.

This trip to Jiangnan was discussed two months ago, and now Zhang Sheng did not come, which also made Ali a little anxious.

He called the boatman, and the two separated to look for Zhang Sheng, but when the two of them converged, they still didn't find him.

The boatman went to Zhang Sheng's house and learned from the mouth of the woman that he had already left home.

That's pretty much it, after finishing speaking, Ali looked at Shen Lian and asked, "I've said everything that needs to be said, is there anything else you want to ask?" ”

"You just said that the boatman went to Zhang Sheng's house? Why aren't you the one who goes? "Because I thought he might go to the teahouse, where we used to meet a lot, I wanted to go over and see if people were there, but there was no one.

After hearing these words, Shen Lian briefly thought about it, and then looked at the people's woman.

"When your father-in-law left home, did he bring a lot of things with him?" The woman nodded, "It's quite a lot, after all, I have to leave for a while, so in addition to some food on the road, there are also some silver to buy spices, at least a few hundred taels." ”

If Zhang Sheng really had an accident, someone would be concerned about these things on his body and would not be easy to deal with the corpse and the things he carried.

Even if there is a place to hide, it is impossible to hide all the time, the weather is so hot, it will rot quickly.

Shen Lian felt as if she had missed something, and she always felt that something was wrong, but she couldn't figure it out for a while.

And just when she was confused, Yin Chen stepped forward and asked Ali, "Could the boatman be lying?" ”

"Lying? What kind of lie did you tell? Ali was puzzled and looked at him in confusion.

"Maybe he saw Zhang Sheng, or maybe he made a move on Zhang Sheng and deliberately concealed it."

Hearing this, Zhang Sheng shook his head, and the woman also questioned, "How is this possible?" My father-in-law has been on his boat many times, but this kind of thing has never happened, and the boatman is always on the boat, how can he make a move on my father-in-law? Hiding the body on the ship? Seeing her so stupid, Yin Chen sighed helplessly.

"It's very simple, just push people into the sea, so that you don't have to deal with the corpse, and no one will find out, isn't it easy?" There is really no problem with this analysis, and Shen Lian also feels that what he said is very reasonable, and there is indeed such a possibility.

But before she could speak, the woman began to refute again.

"It's absolutely impossible, he's just a boatman who does his duty, how could he do such a thing? Moreover, how could he do such a thing when he and I were innocent and innocent? I know you want to help solve the case as soon as possible, but I don't want to wronged any good person. ”

This made Yin Chen feel a little speechless, her words were clearly said, but she still didn't understand the meaning of her words.

After sighing helplessly, he began to explain to her carefully.

Although there is no full evidence, it is just speculation, but it is a reasonable and reasonable speculation.

"Your husband has brought so much money, I'm afraid that people who have a little bit of thought will be interested in making money, right? This is normal as a reason to kill, right? ”

This made the women suddenly not know what to say to refute, which does have a certain amount of truth.

But the boatman has a reason for doing this, but it does not necessarily mean that other people passing by do not have this kind of mind, but it is possible for anyone who has this kind of thought.

But who had seen Zhang Sheng that day, I am afraid it was not so easy to investigate, and people deliberately concealed it, and there was no way to know about it.

Ali, who had always thought that the boatman could not do such a thing, gradually agreed with this kind of statement, thinking that the possibility was relatively large.

"It was relatively early, and it stands to reason that there would have been no other people on the beach at that time, so I think it's possible that the boatman would have done that."

Just when everyone thought so and became more and more certain, Chu Xi's words directly poured a basin of cold water on everyone.

"Even if this is a possibility, how do you know that the boatman must be the murderer? We need to come up with evidence, otherwise we will only be wronging him. ”

Shen Lian nodded in agreement, thinking that what he said was very reasonable, and now he really has to come up with evidence, otherwise this kind of speculation, even if it is reasonable, will not have much effect, and it cannot prove that the murderer must be the boatman.

She repeatedly recalled what the women and Ali said, analyzing every detail, refusing to be sloppy and lax.

And it was at this time that she suddenly noticed a very important problem, which was crucial.

She looked at the woman and asked seriously, "When the boatman went to your house to look for Zhang Sheng, what did he say first, do you remember?" After recalling for a while, the woman nodded, and she remembered.

"I remember that he came knocking on the door, and before I could respond, he called my name and asked me where Zhang Sheng was?"

"Where is Zhang Sheng? That's the question, isn't it? Shen Lian asked repeatedly.

The woman nodded in the affirmative and replied, "That's right, that's what he asked me, yes, I remember it clearly." ”
