Chapter 100: A Kidnapping Case
"My son must be in his hand, because when this letter was delivered, the jade pendant that my son was carrying was also in this envelope, which my son had always carried close to him, and he would not take it down at all, even if he took a bath, he always carried it with him."
At the time just now, Shen Lian still thought that there would be other possibilities, but after Zhang Yuanbai said this, he directly determined that this was a kidnapping case.
In modern society, kidnapping is relatively easy, but in this ancient world, all kinds of technology were not developed, and it was not easy to find the kidnapped child.
She began to feel a little regretful, the pressure was very huge, she knew that she would not agree so easily, and now that she had promised others to retreat, it would be too embarrassing, not only to lose her own face, but also to lose the face of the entire yamen.
There is no way, since it was promised by himself, then even if he gritted his teeth, he had to hold on.
The basic situation is already very clear to Shen Lian, but if she continues to be tired now, it won't have much effect, it's just a waste of time.
After sitting for a while, she began to wander around the entire Zhang family, not letting Zhang Yuanwai or the housekeeper follow her, but with Yin Chen.
After only the two of them remained, Shen Lian began to express the worries in her heart.
"I feel that this time I really promised the wrong one, I shouldn't have come here at all, I don't have a clue at the moment, there is no way to help Zhang Yuanwai find his son, but if I leave like this, it seems a little too embarrassing, what do you say I should do!" This is the first time she has said such a thing, saying that she is really powerless, and it does not make Yin Chen feel that she is incompetent, or has any other ideas, but thinks that she is quite cute and sincere.
It is really rare for a little girl to have such a powerful ability, and there is no way to force her, she has always had extraordinary skills.
"You can't help it, don't you still have me? I can help you. ”
This was said lightly, which made Shen Lian a little surprised.
"Are you really sure you can help me?" It's not that Shen Lian looks down on him, it's just that when he handled the case before, Yin Chen was almost silent and didn't help himself too much, so this time it was a little surprising that he was able to take the initiative to help himself, and I wasn't sure if he had such ability.
Seeing that she didn't seem to believe in herself a little, Yin Chen was even more sure of herself, and wanted her to see her own skills.
"Okay, since you don't believe that I have such ability, then let me help you this time, and let you see my ability by the way!"
The words were full of confidence, without the slightest hesitation, although Shen Lian was also a little incredulous, but he didn't feel that he was bragging.
Because Yin Chen has always been a very low-key person, she has never come out because she wants to show off, and she has always followed her silently, which Shen Lian is still very clear.
But at the same time, she was also a little curious, could it be that Yin Chen had always deliberately hidden her edge and did not leak it, and now that she saw that she really had no way to solve it, she was willing to help herself? Before preparing to start the investigation, Yin Chen also specially instructed her.
"I have to tell you about this matter in advance, although I helped you, but you must not tell anyone that I helped, you have to insist on telling others that you did this thing."
After hearing this, Shen Lian was a little surprised, and he didn't quite understand what the reason for him was doing this.
"Why? This is your credit, you let me snatch it away for nothing, don't you feel uncomfortable? ”
"If someone else snatched it, then I would definitely feel uncomfortable in my heart, but if it was you, I didn't feel uncomfortable, but I felt quite happy."
The suddenness, a bit like a confession, made Shen Lian directly couldn't help laughing.
The two of them didn't waste any more time and started to act, she just wanted to see what kind of ability Yin Chen had.
Because they have the permission of Zhang Yuanwai, they can enter and exit the entire Zhang family freely, and go to any room at will, and no one will stop or follow them.
After a brief question, they came to Zhang Yuanwai's son's room.
According to the next person, Zhang Yuanwai's son is 13 years old this year, because he is an old man, so he takes special care of this son and loves him very much, so that his son was kidnapped baldly, and there is no way to accept it.
After entering the room, the two of them took a brief look around, and did not find anything abnormal, everything was neat, but it could be seen that this room had been unoccupied for several days, and a thin layer of dust had fallen.
After a brief look around, Shen Lian didn't quite understand Yin Chen's intention to do this, so he asked.
"What's the use of coming to this room? I don't think it's of much use, this child was kidnapped and abducted, shouldn't someone be sent out to search? You might even find it! After hearing this, Yin Chen shook his head directly.
"Zhang Yuanwai should have sent someone to do this method from the beginning, and it is estimated that it has no effect, but I have another guess in my heart, but there is no way to confirm whether my guess is correct at present."
Seeing his mysterious appearance, Shen Lian came to her side with interest and asked in a low voice.
"What the hell is speculation? Tell me about it, and I can help you analyze it. ”
"I always think it's a little strange that the child was kidnapped suddenly, because they all know that the child is from Zhang Yuan's family, and ordinary people don't dare to kidnap it at all, they are afraid of getting into trouble, but since this person can ask for a thousand taels of silver as soon as he opens his mouth, it means that he should have some understanding of the Zhang family, so ......" The words have not yet been spoken, and when he finished speaking, he was directly interrupted by Shen Lian.
"So you suspect that this matter was not done by someone outside at all, but by someone inside the Zhang family, right?" Seeing that she was so smart and realized, Yin Chen nodded.
"That's right, that's how I feel, but there's no evidence yet, so I wanted to come to this room and maybe find something, but I came in vain and found nothing."
"And who do you think would do that?" Yin Chen shook his head, "There are also many people in this Zhang family, and everyone may do such a thing, so there is no way to make a conclusion at present, but I think so, the person who took back the kidnapper's envelope is likely to be the one who kidnapped Young Master Zhang." ”
After a pause, he briefly explained the reason for his analysis.
"Think about it, if it was really the hands of the Zhang family's subordinates, then this envelope must have been put out from the inside to the outside at the door, and in order for others to discover this envelope earlier, I think the kidnapped person should be the first to get the envelope, and after opening the envelope and seeing the contents inside, he hurriedly told everyone to pretend to be flustered."
After being analyzed by Yin Chen like this, Shen Lian felt that there was indeed a lot of truth, so the two of them came to the grape trellis again and asked Zhang Yuanwai, who was chatting with Shen Jingde.
"There's a question I want to ask you, who found the envelope first?" Almost without any thought, Zhang Yuanwai said, "It's the housekeeper." ”
At this time, the butler also stood up and nodded.
"At that time, I found the envelope first, because I was about to go out, but I found an envelope at the door, I thought it was strange, so I picked it up, opened it and looked at it, and after finding the contents, I hurriedly told the master."
When he said this, his whole state was quite calm, without the slightest panic, and his expression was quite serious, looking very normal.
Although Shen Lian and Yin Chen were secretly observing him, they didn't deliberately show it too obviously, but pretended to be still investigating, and did not show suspicion of him.
