Since the founding of the Great Zhou Dynasty, it has been a tradition of respecting the elderly, so although this old Yang Tou looked very energetic, Gongsun Jian still hurriedly walked down to greet the old Yang Tou, and at the same time shouted left and right: "Come on, hurry up and move a chair for the old man to sit on." ”

"Lord Gongsun is polite, it's okay for the old man to stand." When the old Yang Tou below saw Gongsun Jian respecting him so much, he immediately had a smile on his face, and wrinkles also emerged.

Although Lao Yang Tou said that he refused, Gongsun Jian understood very well that he was just polite.

If Gongsun Jian really listened, he wouldn't bring him a stool.

So sure, the county guard will have to call him over early tomorrow morning and reprimand him.

After all, in ancient times, the number of elderly people in a place was also regarded as a political achievement, and even if there were people with a long life, the corresponding local taxes would be reduced or reduced.

It is precisely because of this that both the common people and the chief officials in various places respect and love the elderly.

After a while, a servant moved a stool over, and under Gongsun Jian's request, Lao Yang finally sat down reluctantly.

"Old man, dare to ask if you have seen Zhang Er this morning?" Gongsun Jian asked Lao Yang Tou with a kind face.

It's not at all as indifferent as asking other people.

"Lord Gongsun, you can call Lao Yang Lao Lao, don't talk about the old man, otherwise others will think how old I am?" For the title of Gongsun Jian, Lao Yang Tou instinctively disgusted.

"The old man is old this year, huh?" Gongsun Jian asked in some surprise.

Because Lao Yang doesn't look like a middle-aged man! Why do you shoot others saying that he is old?

"What is high and not long-lived, I am only in my eighties this year, and I am still young? You can just call me Lao Yang. Seeing Gongsun Jian asking about his longevity, Lao Yang Tou was slightly angry.

"More than eighty!"

Gongsun Jian gasped, originally Gongsun Jian thought that Old Yang Tou was fifty or sixty years old.

After all, in the ancient environment of the Great Zhou, it is already a high life to be able to live to be fifty or sixty years old, and looking at the old Yang Tou's clear ears and eyes, his pace is calm and powerful, if it is not for his appearance to raise his age, Gongsun Jian feels that it is very possible for this old Yang Tou to be in his forties.

Contrary to Gongsun Jian, many people around him knew Lao Yangtou's age, so there was nothing surprising.

After being a little shocked, Gongsun Jian began to pay attention to Lao Yang Tou in his heart, and after the case was closed, he asked him for advice on the way to live a long life.

Although Gongsun Jian is only twenty-three years old now, it seems too early to ask for longevity.

But whether it was before or after rebirth, Gongsun Jian has always looked at his little life Gongsun Jian more seriously than the sky.

So he naturally didn't want to hang up early, after all, it's better to die than to live, isn't it good to breathe more air in the world?

Of course, Gongsun Jian still knew that he was handling the case at this time, so he smiled slightly and hurriedly asked Lao Yang Tou again if he had seen Zhang Er this morning.

"Lord Gongsun, I did see Zhang Er this morning, and it was twice." After all, Lao Yang Tou was not confused, and after a little thought, he said what he knew.

"Twice?"

Hearing him say that he had seen Zhang Er twice, the people who were originally quiet at the door instantly became lively.

"That's twice! If this Zhang Er is not the murderer, I dare to eat Xiang. A young man directly swore a poisonous oath, believing that Zhang Er was the murderer.

"Hey, Brother Wu, are you swearing too early! What is the situation still unclear? His companion pulled him a few times.

"How can this be clear, Zhang Er went twice, obviously one time was to deliver desserts, and the second time was definitely to murder Lu Chen." The man known as Brother Wu said confidently.

"But I always felt that something was wrong! Is there anything you didn't expect? "It's just that unlike him, the companion next to him always feels like something is missing.

As for what the person called Brother Wu had missed, Gongsun Jian was very clear.

Therefore, he hurriedly said to Lao Yang: "Old man, is it the first time you see Zhang Er, he is going to deliver desserts, and the second time you see him, are you going back?" ”

Hearing Gongsun Jian's answer, the person outside the door who felt that something was missing just now immediately said in surprise: "Brother Wu, what Lord Gongsun said is right!" The first time is in the past, the second time is back. ”

It's just that he just wanted to say it, but found that Brother Wu beside him didn't know where to run for a long time.

As for the oath to eat Xiang, it seems that it will not be completed.

Gongsun Jian sighed in his heart, and then asked Lao Yang Tou again.

"Old man, you and Zhang Er met twice, how much time did you have in between?" Gongsun Jian hurriedly opened his mouth to ask this crucial question.

After all, this is the most evidence that can get Zhang Er out of suspicion.

Although it is said that the deceased was killed yesterday afternoon, because Zhang Er came this morning, he must also be classified as a suspect.

Otherwise, the people will definitely gossip.

It is possible not to give up at all, this is what the people demand from the criminal department.

Old Yang Tou is not stupid, he naturally knows that this is not the time to play around, so he naturally has to tell the truth.

After thinking for a while, he hurriedly said to Gongsun Jian: "My lord, the time I saw Zhang Er twice today should be less than half a pillar of incense. ”

"Less than half a pillar of incense!"

As soon as Old Yang Tou's words came out, the people outside the door began to talk again.

After all, it's only half a pillar of incense, and it has to be added back and forth, if you calculate it this way, Zhang Er doesn't have time to commit the crime at all, and after adding the pretense that Lu Chen was killed yesterday afternoon, the people who were still questioning Zhang Er just now began to change their words.

"I'll just say, how can an upright person like Zhang Er kill someone!"

This young man seems to be the one who just said that Zhang Er is the human-faced beast heart, but unfortunately, looking at him at this time, it seems that he has long forgotten the slander against Zhang Er half an hour ago.

"Yes, I usually go to Zhang Er's stall to buy things, I have been in contact with him for so long, I'm sure he is not a murderer." This person has never been to Zhang Er's stall to buy things, let's not talk about it for the time being.

But his words that affirmed that Zhang Er was not a murderer were the same as farting.

At this time, Zhang Er's suspicion has been investigated, if he is still the murderer, it will really be hell.

Seeing that the people around him had changed their attitudes, Zhang Er, who was standing there, also regained his original calm appearance.

seems to want to save his image, but unfortunately, the sudden change just now has left a deep impression on the people around him, so even if his image is good at this time, others will not forget how he cried and wiped his tears just now.

At this time, the suspicions of Zhang and the others were already clear, and Chen Da had other neighbors yesterday to prove that when he left, Lu Chen personally went out to see him off.

Because the two most suspects have been cleared, there seems to be no clue to this murder case on the surface.

For a while, not only the people in the criminal department were sad, but even the people outside the door looked a little gloomy.

After all, this is a homicide case, a murderer is on the run, if you can't catch it, then don't think about it, it will definitely make people panic.

"My lord, this case?" Chen Guangrong trotted to Gongsun Jian's side and whispered.

"The case must continue to be investigated!" Smiling slightly, Gongsun Jian said affirmatively.

"But, now there are no suspects?" Chen Guangrong said worriedly.

After all, if there is a headless case, then it will not be good for everyone in the Linlang County Criminal Division.

What's more, some time ago, Gongsun Jian handled the case like a god, and he was about to rush to the first place among all the criminal divisions in this state. But now that this case is encountered, if it can't be investigated, then the efforts of the previous period will be in vain.

Therefore, Chen Guangrong came over just now to ask if this case should be suppressed and investigated next year.

After all, there is still a month to go, and someone from above will come to inspect it.

Moreover, not only the people from above, but also the next few counties also came to watch.

After all, as soon as Gongsun Jian took over the Criminal Division, the efficiency was so high, and the Criminal Divisional Administration in the above state intended to make Linlang County a model and let the counties come to learn and learn.

Therefore, at this time, if this case is not small, it will be a trivial matter to be embarrassed, and the main thing is that the Lord Hu in the state has no light on his face.

After all, this model was set by Director Hu himself.

If Gongsun Jian's case can't be handled, wouldn't it be a slap in the face of Lord Hu?

Therefore, at this time, Chen Guangrong felt that since the case was in a predicament, it was best to press it down as soon as possible and wait for the trial next year.

Gongsun Jian on the side naturally didn't know that Chen Guangrong wanted to give him such a bad idea.

Even if Gongsun Jian didn't have a system and didn't know who the murderer was, then it would be impossible to agree to Chen Guangrong's proposal.

After all, compared to human life, the slap in the face can only be regarded as a small matter.

If Gongsun Jian really did what Chen Guangrong wanted, then as long as the incident happened, not only would Master Hu not let him go, but even the emperor would definitely demote him to the border to farm.

Even Gu Qing said that he had to teach Gongsun Jian a lesson.

Of course, fortunately, Gongsun Jian didn't know what Chen Guangrong was thinking, otherwise he would definitely scold Ling Tang.

It's a completely spoiled idea.

At this time, seeing Chen Guangrong's worried face, Gongsun Jian only thought that he was worried that he could not find the murderer, which would affect Gongsun Jian's reputation.

Therefore, Gongsun Jian hurriedly smiled and said to Chen Guangrong: "Old Chen, who said that I have no suspects?" ”

"Where?" Hearing Gongsun Jian's words, Chen Guangrong was a little surprised, he really didn't know when Gongsun Jian would find another suspect.

Gongsun Jian smiled mysteriously and said to Chen Guangrong: "He is at the scene." ”

"Who is it?" Chen Guangrong, who was aroused, wanted to take a look around and who was the suspect of Gongsun Jian, but he was afraid that it would affect Gongsun Jian's plan, so he just straightened his neck casually, and instantly let go again.

"Don't be afraid, feel free to look at it, since I have already told you, it means that the murderer is already suspicious." Smiling slightly, Gongsun Jian said to Chen Guangrong indifferently.

In fact, strictly speaking, the clues and suspicions exposed by Pu Shang at present are not too big, and they are even a little far-fetched.

However, in view of the fact that this Pu Shang is too good at acting, Gongsun Jian has no choice but to give up and prepare to interrogate Pu Shang.

After all, it has been almost an hour since the case was reported, and seeing that it will be dark in another hour, Gongsun Jian still wants to go to Wei Peng for dinner as soon as possible?

So, I thought about closing the case quickly.

On the other side, after hearing Gongsun Jian's words, Chen Guangrong finally relaxed, and after some guessing, Chen Guangrong looked at Pu Shang with some surprise.

If it was just observation, he would definitely not see anything wrong with Pu Shang, but through Gongsun Jian's various performances that were different from the past at the beginning, Chen Guangrong understood that Gongsun Jian had locked the murderer at the beginning.

Because Gongsun Jian showed a different performance in front of Pu Shang from the beginning.

The reason why the murderer has not been found out until now is that in Pu Shang's mind, it should be that Gongsun Jian has not confirmed the murderer at that time.

But now that he is going to be found out, it means that Gongsun Jian already has the evidence to prove the murderer.

It's just that Chen Guangrong was very surprised, he never thought that this person who cried so hard for the death of his righteous brother turned out to be the murderer of Lu Chen.
