Chapter 386: Horror
Otherwise, Gongsun Jian still thinks that the system is on vacation today and won't appear?
"Ding, the mission is released, the county guard mansion qilin jade is lost, what should I do?"
"Choose one, give up the investigation, and get one hundred taels of silver, and the popularity value is -1."
"Option two, arrest Chen Si immediately, and have a GPA +1."
Seeing that the system finally appeared, Gongsun Jian breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.
It seems that there is no need to delay long today.
Immediately, he stopped abruptly and looked at the four nervous servants.
"Don't blame the official for not giving him a chance, next, after finding the thief, he can't run away with a big punishment." After taking a closer look at these people, Gongsun Jian said with a sneer.
Of course, this expression was naturally fake, and he also knew in his heart that no one would stand up and confess his guilt at this time.
The reason why I said this was just to make others think that they had found out Chen Si's flaws through this sentence.
Sitting on a chair on the side of the hall, Gongsun Jian shouted, "Ascend to the hall." ”
Immediately, several deacons hurriedly stood in two columns and shouted the word "mighty".
Although they were not government officials before, since Gongsun Jian shouted for promotion, then they must perform the duties of government officials.
After all, handling cases is the task of the criminal department, and with Gongsun Jian, a senior official, they naturally have to abide by the rules.
Because he didn't know the names of the four servants in the audience, Gongsun Jian casually pointed to the leftmost servant and asked, "What's your name, where was the crime last night?" ”
"Adult, little Chen Si, was resting in the room last night when the crime happened." Chen Si hurriedly spoke.
His words made Gongsun Jian feel surprised for a while, because Gongsun Jian never thought that the person he was referring to casually was a thief.
With a movement in his heart, an idea instantly rose to him.
So, he opened his mouth and asked, "Chen Si, when you rested last night, who could testify?" ”
"My lord, all the companions in the villain's room last night can testify, because I was in the room all night." Hearing Gongsun Jian's questioning, no matter what Chen Si thought in his heart, he still answered Gongsun Jian's words unhurriedly on the surface.
"Oh." Pretending to be surprised, Gongsun Jian then looked at Chen Qiang, "Steward Chen, please call everyone in Chen Si's room." ”
Chen Qiang, who was honestly watching Gongsun Jian's case, didn't expect Gongsun Jian to call people outside the court, he was stunned at first, but then quickly left the hall.
After all, the case should be handed over to a professional person, even if he has doubts in his heart, then it is not at this time to ask.
I have to say that Chen Zhi, the person under the county guard, is sensible enough, if Gu Qing encounters something that he has doubts in his heart, he will definitely wait for Gongsun Jian to explain before calling someone.
Thinking of this, Gongsun Jian glanced at Gu Qing, and secretly hated him in his heart.
Gu Qing over there naturally didn't know what Gongsun Jian was thinking, but when he saw Gongsun Jian looking over, he hurriedly smiled back embarrassedly.
After all, no matter what it was, at least he wouldn't make Gongsun Jian angry if he made this move.
Sure enough, seeing that Gu Qing was still looking so stupid, although Gongsun Jian was dissatisfied in his heart, he was not angry.
Chen Si, who was standing below, was a little nervous when he saw that Gongsun Jian seemed to be holding on to himself all the time.
Thinking about what he was doing seamlessly, he instantly pressed his fast-beating heart.
After all, as long as he doesn't say anything about his own side, then Gongsun Jian has no way to take him.
As long as today's events are over, then he will be able to enjoy endless glory and wealth for the rest of his life.
He never thought that Gongsun Jian actually had a system in his body, and he had already discovered that he was the thief.
Otherwise, he would have confessed his sin quickly.
After all, Gongsun Jian had already said just now, as soon as the matter was found out, he would not be able to escape from such a big punishment.
Fortunately, because the door is closed today, the servants of the county guard are all there.
It didn't take long for Chen Qiang to come to the hall with a few people.
"Gongsun is in charge, these people are Chen Si's bedtime." Chen Qiang said respectfully.
After all, Gongsun Jian still needs to do this today, and he will definitely give the face that should be given.
What's more, his lord also explained, and he should be respectful to Gongsun Jian.
Nodding, Gongsun Jian thanked Chen Qiang, and then looked at the servants who had been called.
"Can you prove that Chen Qiang was in the room all the time last night?" Immediately, he threatened in a cold voice: "If someone tells a lie, then don't blame the official for not being emotional." ”
The latter words made these servants tremble a little, although they had never experienced the torture instruments in the official yamen, but they had always heard of it.
Therefore, the consequences of lying are very clear.
Therefore, as soon as Gongsun Jian said this, several servants over there hurriedly spoke: "My lord, I promise that Chen Si was in the room last night. ”
"Yes, my lord, we promise it. Don't dare to tell lies. ”
The assurances of these servants made Gongsun Jian very depressed.
Of course, he was not depressed because he couldn't catch Chen Si's feet, he was depressed because Chen Qiang felt that Chen Si and several people were suspicious.
After all, Chen Si was in the room when the jade pendant was lost last night, so there was no possibility of committing a crime at all?
Why does Chen Qiang think that Chen Si is suspicious?
Thinking of this, Gongsun Jian glanced at Chen Qiang.
Is there something he can't do?
I have to say that as the housekeeper of the county guard's mansion, Chen Qiang's ability to observe words and emotions is very outstanding.
It's just that when I saw Gongsun Jian's eyes, I understood it instantly.
Therefore, he hurriedly explained: "My lord, this morning, Chen Si and the others have been wanting to go out, so the villain thinks that they should be suspicious. Otherwise, I wouldn't have been in such a hurry to get out. ”
Hearing this, Gongsun Jian was satisfied.
Because he has found another breakthrough in handling the case.
smiled and nodded to Chen Qiang, then he looked at Chen Si below again, and asked coldly, "Chen Si, why are you in a hurry to go out this morning?" ”
"Adult, the villain is the long-term worker in the back kitchen, isn't this in a hurry to go out to buy vegetables?" Chen Si below didn't panic, and quickly explained.
Glancing at Chen Qiang beside him, after the other party nodded, Gongsun Jian was depressed again.
Originally, he thought that Chen Qiang had any special abilities? It turned out that this was the suspicion.
Although Chen Si is indeed a thief, Chen Qiang's method of grasping has no effect at all.
After all, what if Chen Si is not a person in the back kitchen? Could it be that Chen Qiang is going to let him go?
That being said, Gongsun Jian did not despise Chen Qiang either.
After all, the jade pendant given by the official family was lost, and as a housekeeper, of course he couldn't let go of a little trouble.
Seeing that this road was blocked, Gongsun Jian could only look at a few of Chen Si's fellow sleepers.
"Did Chen Si really not go out last night?" Gongsun Jian asked again.
If he really couldn't ask anything this time, Gongsun Jian could only directly arrest Chen Si and extract a confession.
After all, Gongsun Jian didn't want to spend it here, because as time passed, the more likely it would be that the county guard's loss of the jade pendant would be exposed.
Of course, at this time, Gongsun Jian was a little speechless to the county guard Chen Zhi.
Although it seems that he is very nervous about the loss of the jade pendant, he can leave the county guard mansion directly and go to work in the yamen, which means that he is actually indifferent to the loss of the jade pendant in his heart, and it can even be said that he doesn't care much about it.
However, Gongsun Jian had promised not to expose the matter, so he could only solve it quickly.
What made Gongsun Jian slightly surprised was that the few people who had not reported his hopes finally said something that made him happy.
"Your Excellency, your Excellency. I don't know if it's counted when Izuku is done? There was a fellow sleeper of Chen Si, and he said tremblingly.
After all, just now they promised that Chen Si had never gone out, but now they said that Chen Si had been flattering.
So, I was scared, but if I didn't say it, I was even more scared.
Because of the seriousness of the matter, they also know that if the thieves can't catch them, they will definitely suffer.
In the end, after thinking about it, he decided that it didn't matter whether it was useful or not, and just said the right thing.
Listening to this completely opposite to just now, Gongsun Jian was not angry, after all, this news can prove Chen Si's suspicion even more, why is Gongsun Jian angry?
Therefore, without paying attention to the servants who were a little nervous after speaking, Gongsun Jian turned his eyes to Chen Si again.
"Chen Si, do you have anything to say?"
"My lord, I'm just going to a thatched hut normally, so there shouldn't be any suspicion, right?" Chen Si looked disdainful and spoke.
After all, if you go to the toilet normally, will anyone say anything that can't be done?
What's more, it would be incredible to say that he was a thief just because of that.
Before Gongsun Jian could speak, Chen Qiang on the side asked with some surprise: "Master Gongsun, do you suspect that this Chen Si is a thief?" ”
After all, Gongsun Jian paid too close attention to Chen Si, and after adding the conversation between the two, it was obvious that Gongsun Jian was suspecting Chen Si of being a thief.
Gongsun Jian nodded noncommittally, and then looked at Chen Si, "Then can you tell me how many times you went to the thatched house last night?" ”
"My lord, I know this." A few of Chen Si's bedmates over there hurriedly interjected.
Of course, the reason why he wanted this was so that Gongsun Jian would not pursue their mistakes in concealing things, so he was more eager.
Chen Qiang on the side saw Gongsun Jian nodding and admitting it, although he still had some doubts in his heart, but Gongsun Jian was a professional after all, so he naturally would not say anything against it.
However, seeing that this servant was so eager at this time, he suddenly began to doubt in his heart, "How do you know so clearly?" Could it be that you and Chen Si are accomplices? ”
These words made the servant almost cry in a hurry, and quickly defended: "Steward Chen, don't slander me." I'm just a light sleeper, and I wake up when I move a little, so Chen Si went a few times yesterday, and I still know it. ”
Although this is very reasonable, Chen Qiang, who has already been in the limelight, still looks at him with suspicion.
Gongsun Jian on the side naturally understood that this servant was definitely not an accomplice, so he smiled at him and said, "What do you know, tell me quickly." ”
Seeing this, the servant over there didn't dare to hide it, and hurriedly spoke: "But last night, if I remember correctly, Chen Si went to the toilet four times. ”
"Are you sure?" Gongsun Jian pretended to look at him with suspicion.
In fact, Gongsun Jian was not interested in Chen Si going to the toilet a few times, after all, he was not like others, and now he was just suspicious of Chen Si.
With the prompts of the system, he understood very well that Chen Si was the thief.
However, although he knew, he couldn't arrest Chen Si directly, after all, there was no evidence at all now, and directly arresting people would definitely have an impact.
Those who think about it will definitely think that Gongsun Jian is like a god in solving the case, and the thief can be seen in the slightest detail.
But if you can't think about it, you will think that Gongsun Jian is a criminal officer who likes to arrest people, even if it is confirmed that Chen Si is a thief in the end, then others just think that this is Gongsun Jian's luck.
If you want to perform well in front of the county guard, Gongsun Jian can't do this.
On the other side, seeing Gongsun Jian open his mouth to ask, the servant hurriedly said honestly: "My lord, I'm pretty sure Chen Si has gone out a total of four times. ”
