Chapter 407: Yu Lu
"My lord, in fact, I didn't wash the lunch box, Lin Chen took it to wash it." In the end, Gu Qing still spoke.
It's just that his words made Gongsun Jian's heart a little nowhere to complain.
Originally, he thought it was a big deal. So that's it!
However, although he was disappointed in his heart, Gongsun Jian still smiled and said: "Dare to admit your mistakes, it shows that Brother Gu is a high-spirited person." ”
Although he dares to admit his mistakes, it doesn't seem to have anything to do with Gao Feng Liangjie.
But Gongsun Jian was short of words for a while, and he could only come up with a noun to fool Gu Qing, who didn't like to read.
"My lord has won the award, I'm not a high-spirited person." Gu Qing below really didn't know what Gao Feng Liangjie meant, so he hurriedly humbled himself.
Just when Gongsun Jian wanted to continue to praise Gu Qing, there was a knock on the door.
"Come in." After sitting back in his place, Gongsun Jian shouted lightly.
"My lord, I'm here to bring you a washed lunch box."
It was none other than Lin Chen, the official who came.
Because this is Gongsun Jian's lunch box, Lin Chen is not only fast, but also very clean.
"Thank you, Lin Chen." Gongsun Jian nodded with a smile and thanked Lin Chen.
And Gu Qing on the side was not idle, and hurriedly took the lunch box from Lin Chen's hand and put it in his hand.
"Adult, this is what a villain should do." For Gongsun Jian's praise, Lin Chen was still very excited.
Fortunately, he still knew that this was Gongsun Jian's office after all, so he naturally couldn't tolerate his presumptuousness.
Therefore, I forcibly held back my excitement and hurriedly retired.
"My lord, do you know Lin Chen?" After Lin Chen left, Gu Qing, who had put the lunch box away, looked at Gongsun Jian with some curiosity.
"I met at lunchtime, and I told him to help me wash my lunch box." Gongsun Jian said to Gu Qing with a smile.
Hearing this, Gu Qing instantly understood why Lin Chen would take the initiative to wash the lunch box when he had always been a transparent person.
Because this is not because Gu Qing himself has prestige at all, but because Gongsun Jian has already had orders with Lin Chen.
That's why Lin Chen took the lunch box away to wash it.
And all this is what he thinks too much about!
In addition, because Gu Qing didn't know about this matter, he took the initiative to take all the credit on himself, and made such a big oolong.
After thinking about the cause and effect, Gu Qing was full of shame.
No wonder Gongsun Jian kept asking him to bring the lunch box, it turned out that Gongsun Jian had long known that it was not him who washed the lunch box, it was Lin Chen.
Moreover, at this time, Gu Qing also understood that even if Gongsun Jian did not arrange for Lin Chen to wash in advance. It is also problematic for Gu Qing to return so soon.
Just when Gu Qing was about to apologize to Gongsun Jian again, there was another knock on the door.
However, it was not Lin Chen who came in this time, but Chen Guangrong with an urgent face.
"Lao Chen, what's wrong?" Seeing this, Gongsun Jian hurriedly asked.
After all, Chen Guangrong is now his subordinate, and if it weren't for the important things, it would be impossible for him to look in a hurry.
"My lord, there is a murder in the east of the city!" Chen Guangrong didn't dare to hide it, and quickly told the matter.
Hearing this, Gongsun Jianteng stood up and hurriedly walked out of the room with Chen Guangrong.
After all, this is a murder case, such a big matter, Gongsun Jian did not dare to slow down at all.
If there was any theft, Gongsun Jian would not be so nervous, but if someone died, it would be a big problem.
The sooner you arrive at the scene, the sooner you can catch the murderer, so that the people will not be too panicked.
Although Gongsun Jian has always been an egoist, he is still very happy to help the people and hear their praise.
What's more, helping people do things can also earn popularity points.
As soon as he walked out of the room, a middle-aged man who came to report the case ran to Gongsun Jian's side, and while walking out, he reported the case to Gongsun Jian.
The informant's name is Pu Shang, a resident in the east of the city, who sells baked cakes in the fang market on weekdays, because the taste is good, so the neighbors usually like to call him baked cakes.
The deceased's name was Lu Chen, and he was Pu Shang's next-door neighbor. The reason why Pu Shang came to report the case was because Lu Chen had no family. Therefore, for the sake of the villagers, after discovering that Lu Chen had died violently, it was Pu Shang who took the initiative to report the case.
Under Pu Shang's introduction, Gongsun Jian learned that Lu Chen rarely had conflicts with people on weekdays, and as for the cause of death, he died from being pierced through his internal organs by a sharp object.
Soon, Gongsun Jian and his entourage came to Lu Chen's house.
Judging from some facilities, Gongsun Jian can find that this Lu Chen is still relatively rich, not only are the tables, chairs and benches all brand new, but there is even a special study.
Although basically everyone knows how to read in Da Zhou, if you want to buy books, and you have to fill the whole house, it is not a small cost.
Just Lu Chen's bookstore, Gongsun Jian guessed that it should be worth hundreds of taels of silver.
Lu Chen, a young man in his twenties, would definitely not earn this money by himself. He inherited these inheritances from his deceased parents.
Although Gongsun Jian suspected that it was Lu Chen's relative who killed Lu Chen for the inheritance of Lu Chen's parents.
But because the task of the system has not yet appeared, Gongsun Jian does not dare to be too sure.
The man who followed Gongsun Jian into the bedroom hurriedly came over to report after Lu Chen's body was identified.
"My lord, the deceased was about 20 years old, and the cause of death was that a sharp object pierced his internal organs, causing massive hemorrhage. The time of death was about nine hours ago. ”
"Nine hours?"
Gongsun Jian was shocked in his heart, the nine hours of the Great Zhou were equivalent to the eighteen hours of Gongsun Jian's previous life.
It took so long to be discovered, except that Lu Chen rarely went out, that is, the murderer didn't make much noise yesterday.
"Did the deceased have any relatives?" Gongsun Jian looked at Pu Shang on the side, after all, as a next-door neighbor, and he was also the one who came to report the case, it showed that his relationship with Lu Chen was not bad.
"My lord, Xiao Lu has no relatives anymore. Usually he is alone, because I have a wife and children here, so I usually don't pay much attention to his situation, who would have thought that in a blink of an eye, it would be gone. Pu Shang said a little sadly.
Even in Gongsun Jian's observation, Pu Shang in front of him even began to have tears in his eyes.
Gongsun Jian secretly sighed, this Pu Shang is really a good person.
Just as he was about to continue to ask if he knew who Lu Chen had seen last night, the system task that suddenly popped up in front of him made Gongsun Jian's heart stir.
"Ding, the mission is released, Lu Chen, a resident in the east of the city, died unexpectedly, what should I do?"
"Choose one, if you can't find evidence, it becomes a headless murder case, and you will be rewarded with five taels of gold and a popularity value of -1."
"Option two, arrest the murderer Pu Shang and bring him to justice, with a GPA +1."
"The murderer turned out to be him!"
Gongsun Jian glanced at Pu Shang a few times in disbelief, and the reason why he didn't dare to look at him directly was because Gongsun Jian was afraid of startling the snake.
The result given by the system must be bad, Gongsun Jian still wants to expose the unsuspecting Pu Shang to a little clue? How could it be possible to make Pu Shang vigilant?
So, smiling slightly, Gongsun Jian said to Pu Shang: "Pu Shang, don't be too sad, the official promises to catch the murderer for you." ”
When talking about the word for you, Gongsun Jian deliberately accentuated his voice.
Just want Pu Shang to understand that Gongsun Jian is handling the case now, not only for the late Lu Chen, but also for Lu Chen's good friend Pu Shang.
Hearing Gongsun Jian's words, Pu Shang over there suddenly trembled, and then cried even more sadly.
"My lord, you must catch the murderer for my brother!"
What surprised Gongsun Jian was that Pu Shang's crying was not a fake cry, but a real cry.
"Don't worry, I'll definitely catch the murderer for you." Gongsun Jian patted Pu Shang on the shoulder and said.
Once again, he said that he was catching the murderer for Pu Shang, and that was because Gongsun Jian wanted him to understand that he did not suspect him, so that he could relax his vigilance.
After chatting with Pu Shang casually, Gongsun Jian finally got to the point, "Did you see anyone who came to Lu Chen's house last night?" ”
Hearing Gongsun Jian's question, Pu Shang unexpectedly showed nervousness to Gongsun Jian.
Just when Gongsun Jian was very curious, he saw Pu Shang there and said nervously: "My lord, I came to Xiao Lu's house last night. ”
Then waiting for Gongsun Jian to speak, Pu Shang actually knelt down directly and said to Gongsun Jian: "My lord, when the villain left yesterday, Xiao Lu was fine, and I didn't kill the person." ”
Looking at Pu Shang's nervous appearance, Gongsun Jian couldn't help but sigh in his heart, his acting skills are really good enough.
After all, it's easiest to believe that it's true.
Pu Shang first admitted that he had been to Lu Chen's house last night, so even if there were witnesses who saw Pu Shang go to Lu Chen's house last night, because Pu Shang had already admitted it in advance, Pu Shang's suspicion would become smaller under the premise that there was no evidence.
Moreover, as soon as Gongsun Jian came in, Pu Shang's various performances clearly showed that he had a deep affection for Lu Chen.
It completely demonstrated a heartbroken picture of Lu Chen being killed and Pu Shang as a friend.
After all, the tears that Pu Shang shed just now were not fake!
Moreover, coupled with this kneeling performance, ordinary people will not think that Pu Shang is the murderer at all.
After all, thinking that Gongsun Jian had just started asking about last night, Pu Shang directly knelt down and kowtowed and said that he was not a murderer.
Such a small person, in the eyes of ordinary people, if it is really a murderer, then he will definitely be directly frightened to admit that he is a murderer.
Instead of being like Pu Shang, he was just afraid that he would be mistaken for a murderer.
It is also Pu Shang's various performances, Gongsun Jian suspects that Lu Chen's death may have been planned by Pu Shang a long time ago.
Otherwise, why would it be so carefully arranged?
If it weren't for the systematic existence of Gongsun Jian, maybe he would have been fooled by Pu Shang a long time ago.
However, after all, Pu Shang didn't expect that Gongsun Jian had such a magical thing as a system.
Therefore, no matter how good his acting skills are, then he is not Gongsun Jian's opponent.
Gongsun Jian only needs to make a step-by-step inference that makes people feel very reasonable.
It's just that the information exposed by Pu Shang at this time is useless, so Gongsun Jian can only press to interrogate Pu Shang first.
Moreover, Gongsun Jian also helped Pu Shang up with a smile on his face, "Pu Shang, don't worry, this official will definitely not let go of a bad person." ”
Gongsun Jian didn't directly say that he didn't believe that Pu Shang was the murderer, after all, if he said this, wouldn't he be slapped in the face when he caught Pu Shang?
Moreover, when Gongsun Jian said this, it is very likely that Pu Shang will expose a little loophole.
"Thank you, thank you, your lord." Pu Shang was still crying and thanking Gongsun Jian.
The crying voice was very loud, and the tears flowed in a sparse manner, and it was not touched at all by Gongsun Jian's words just now.
In this regard, Gongsun Jian was very disappointed, because Pu Shang did not reveal any useful information at all, on the contrary, his approach made Gongsun Jian feel that this Pu Shang was too difficult to deal with.
After all, for this kind of character who is as hard as iron and hides deeply, it is indeed difficult for Gongsun Jian to deal with him at such a young age.
