"My lord, that's what I'm supposed to do." When you should be humble, you still have to be humble, Chen Guangrong still understands this very well.

With a wave of his hand, Chen Guangrong hurriedly asked his servants to call those families into the hall.

Lu Chen's home is not small, and the hall alone is dozens of square meters.

Therefore, these five families, plus the deacon brought by Gongsun Jian, a total of more than a dozen people standing here is just right.

Because there were more people, and the murderer had already been confirmed, Gongsun Jian did not go directly to the hall for interrogation as he said to Chen Guangrong just now.

He went from house to house, and in the end, he left two slightly suspicious neighbors behind.

At this point, there are fewer people in the hall, and Gongsun Jian's workload has also decreased.

Looking at the two middle-aged men below who were a little nervous, Gongsun Jian slapped the table slightly, and suddenly shouted: "Shengtang!" ”

"Mighty!"

After receiving Gongsun Jian's password, the two rows of officials who had already stood shouted in unison.

In addition to making the two middle-aged men standing in the hall even more nervous, this voice also made the people who were talking outside the hall just now become silent.

It's human nature to like to watch the excitement, not to mention this kind of murder that can only be encountered once in several years in the county town.

Therefore, in addition to the people who came to watch from the nearby streets, even well-informed people from the west of the city also came here to watch the excitement.

Unlike the people in the county, there are many yamen in the county, so the people know a lot about the rules of the yamen.

Therefore, when Gongsun Jian shouted out to ascend to the hall, no one dared to speak immediately.

This is not only because they are frightened by the position of the criminal department, but also because they understand that the dignity of the government is inviolable.

Here, after seeing that the scene was quiet, Gongsun Jian nodded with satisfaction, and then looked coldly at the two suspicious people in the audience.

"Chen Da, tell me, why did you come to Lu Chen's house last night?" Gongsun Jian looked directly at the middle-aged man on the left.

In the inquiry just now, Gongsun Jian knew that this middle-aged man named Chen Da had come to Lu Chen's house for a while last night.

It was precisely because of this that Gongsun Jian kept him who was suspicious.

Seeing Gongsun Jian open his mouth to ask, Chen Da quickly suppressed the apprehension in his heart, "My lord, yesterday the villain wanted to find Lu Chen to drink, but unfortunately he was infected with the wind cold yesterday and couldn't drink, so I chatted with him casually for a while, and then went home." ”

"Anything else?" Gongsun Jian glanced at him and asked lightly.

There's no way, he can't say it lightly!

This thing Chen Da said didn't even have a little ups and downs, and it couldn't bring Gongsun Jian a little waves.

"Adult, small, there's nothing to say." Secretly glancing at Gongsun Jian sitting on it, Chen Da quickly withdrew his gaze.

He was really afraid that his answer would make Gongsun Jian angry, so although he was standing now, his legs were still trembling nervously.

If it was said that he met Gongsun Jian at a normal time, although he would not be able to talk and laugh with Gongsun Jian, at least he would not panic at all.

But today is different, he is a suspect, and it is very likely that he will be arrested and tortured by Gongsun Jian, and even lose his own life.

So, if he didn't want to be nervous, it was impossible.

The Gongsun Jian above naturally didn't know about Chen Da's nonsense, after all, although Gongsun Jian was communicating with Chen Da just now, most of his attention was on Pu Shang beside him.

After all, he is a murderer, and Gongsun Jian is still thinking about how to find him out in a reasonable way?

After listening to Chen Da's answer, Gongsun Jian stopped looking at him and turned his head to look at Lu Chen's other neighbor, Zhang Er.

Unlike Chen Da, Zhang Er seemed to be much calmer.

After all, he didn't kill people, so he had nothing to be nervous about.

If it were someone else, Zhang Er might be nervous. Afraid that others will catch him by mistake or blackmail him.

But Gongsun Jian is different, although Gongsun Jian has only been in Linlang County for less than a year, his name is widely spread in the county. Zhang Er naturally had heard of Gongsun Jian.

Moreover, Zhang Er is also very familiar with Gongsun Jian, so he sells some snacks on the street of the Criminal Division.

So basically every time Gongsun Jian went to the Criminal Division, Zhang Er could meet him, although Gongsun Jian had never bought his things.

However, Zhang Er still knows a lot about Gongsun Jian's temperament and character.

After all, he passed in front of him every day, although Gongsun Jian didn't know him, but as a small commoner, there was a person wearing a six-rank official uniform who passed by every day, and that Zhang Er would naturally remember it very clearly.

Of course, the reason why Zhang Er thought that Gongsun Jian would not arrest people casually, nor would he take the opportunity to blackmail himself.

That's because Zhang Er understands the situation of Gongsun Jian's family, don't look at Gongsun Jian is a criminal director from the sixth grade, one of the several giants in the entire Linlang County.

But Zhang Er knew that all the food and clothing in Gongsun Jian's house were at most similar to his family.

Although there are a few subordinates who look luxurious, the real situation is that Gongsun Jian basically can't save any money every month.

Otherwise, why did Gongsun Jian walk so far away from the Criminal Division.

You must know that those Zhengqipin officials in the county all go to work in a sedan chair, but what about Gongsun Jian?

A giant from the sixth grade turned out to be walking.

What does this mean?

This shows that Gongsun Jian is very poor!

And he never accepts money!

Otherwise, how could a person who was in charge of the six-grade criminal division go to Yingmao?

After all, if Gongsun Jian really received the money, how could he let himself eat so poorly and live so hard.

It is precisely for this reason that in the face of an honest official like Gongsun Jian, Zhang Er will not be afraid at all.

Of course, if you are not afraid, you are not afraid, but if you don't respect others, you will suffer in the end, and you will not be able to complain about others.

Therefore, although Zhang Er at this time was respectful to Gongsun Jian, he was not afraid of Gongsun Jian arresting people.

"Zhang Er, why did you suddenly come to Lu Chen's house this morning?" Gongsun Jian still asked Zhang Er in the audience in a light tone.

"My lord, this morning, the villain went to deliver desserts to Lu Chen." Zhang Er below first punched Gongsun Jian, and then told the truth.

"Dessert?"

Zhang Er's answer made Gongsun Jian's face a little weird.

After all, aren't you tired of eating this stuff in the morning?

If he hadn't known that Pu Shang was the murderer, Gongsun Jian would definitely suspect that this Zhang Er was suspicious.

You must know that although Zhang Er sells snacks, he sells pies, salty, not desserts that Lu Chen wants to eat.

Therefore, Zhang Er's answer made everyone present except Gongsun Jian begin to look at Zhang Er.

After all, even if Chen Da had concealed what he said just now, Zhang Er's words in front of him showed great doubts.

Seeing that the people around him began to look at themselves, Zhang Er still did not panic, and still stood there calmly.

Seeing him like this, the others present were even more convinced that Zhang Er was very suspicious.

After all, murderers are generally bolder, and there are only two possibilities for people like Zhang Er, who are not confused at all in the face of dozens of people.

Either he has a big heart, or he is a murderer.

But anyone who knows Zhang Er knows that he is an ordinary person, and he is usually as timid as everyone else.

Therefore, at this moment, some people were even ready to say that Zhang Er was the murderer on the spot.

It's a pity that they can only think about it after all.

After all, now Gongsun Jian is interrogating Zhang Er, if they open their mouths at will to disturb the order, they will only be punished in vain when the time comes.

And, most importantly, even if they say that Zhang Er is the murderer, it is useless.

After all, everything is about evidence, and without evidence, there is no conviction at all.

Otherwise, there is a system to point out the murderer, Gongsun Jian doesn't have to be so troublesome at all, and he has to think hard about how to make the process of handling the case very reasonable.

It's just that the people outside the hall were silent, but Pu Shang, who was beside Gongsun Jian, spoke.

"It's you! It turned out that you killed my brother Lu, and I want you to pay for your life. Pu Shang roared angrily as he made a gesture to rush over and pinch Zhang Er.

It's a pity that as soon as he made a move here, Gongsun Jian's side looked down, and Gu Qing directly picked up Pu Shang's expression, like catching a chicken, and lifted him back to his original position.

"My lord, hurry up and arrest the murderer, you can't let him escape." Although he was brought back to his original position, Pu Shang still shouted at Gongsun Jian excitedly.

If he didn't know that Pu Shang was the murderer, Gongsun Jian would probably feel respectable for the deep relationship between Pu Shang and Lu Chen.

It's a pity that he knew that the murderer of Lu Chen was Pu Shang, but Gongsun Jian only felt that his acting skills were not bad.

After all, Gongsun Jian looked at Pu Shang from the perspective of God, so he could naturally see some flaws.

But the others present were not like that, and they saw Pu Shang's excited expression.

Most people are a little emotional.

"Lu Chen has such a good brother, and he can be regarded as able to smile at Jiuquan."

"Yes, I envy such a good brother."

"If one day a brother could do this to me, I would be satisfied."

Although the voices of these people were very small, because the place was not very big, Gongsun Jian still heard it.

However, for their words, Gongsun Jian did not dare to agree.

Don't look at these people who are very greedy for the brotherhood between Lu Chen and Pu Shang, but Gongsun Jian believes that after a while, they will not only be slapped in the face, but also feel frightened.

After all, there is such a person who seems to have a deep friendship with outsiders, but the murderer who really killed him is indeed terrifying.

If you don't seriously investigate the case, it is very likely that the murderer will escape the punishment of the law of the Great Zhou.

Of course, even though the scene became a little noisy, Zhang Er below was still so calm, and he didn't seem to be affected by the pointing and pointing of the surrounding crowd.

In fact, the reason why Zhang Er is like this is because he is confident enough in Gongsun Jian, and he believes that Gongsun Jian will definitely find out the case.

At that time, not only will he no longer be slandered, but he will not be able to run away from a good reputation of calmness and composure.

There is no stupid person in the world, of course, except for those who are really neglected by their parents, or very spoiled, as long as they come out to work hard for a few years, even if they are very kind, they will inevitably be affected.

At this time, Zhang Er hoped to take the opportunity of Gongsun Jian's case to create a good reputation, so as to make his snack business better.

After all, as long as he has a good reputation in the county, then there will definitely be business that will come to patronize him.

No matter how bad the food is, as long as his reputation spreads during this period of time, then his business will definitely be far greater than ever.

Gongsun Jian on the stage naturally didn't know what Zhang Er below was thinking.

If he knew Zhang Er's thoughts, then he would definitely admire Zhang Er's courage enough.

Isn't he afraid that he will make mistakes in handling his own cases?

At that time, Zhang Er, the most suspicious person, is likely to suffer from unwarranted disasters.

In this regard, Gongsun Jian was quite speechless, the previous Pu Shang was full of confidence in himself, and the same was true for Zhang Er in the back!
