Chapter 10 Zhao Shizhen
Zhang Cheng stepped forward and knocked on the door, and a little girl of fifteen or sixteen years old opened the door and poked her head out, looking delicate and lovely, wearing white flowers on her head, and her teary eyes were swollen like walnuts. She is Xiao Cui, the daughter of the dead old servant, who worked as a maid in Zhao Shizhen's house, Xiao Cui looked at Guo Zhiyuan and the others vigilantly, and said with some cringe: "You guys...... Is there something wrong? ”。
Guo Zhiyuan took out his waist card, shook it twice in front of her, and said in a deep voice: "Shuntianfu investigates the case, please open the door!" ”。
Xiao Cui looked at this somewhat strange investigation combination again with some suspicion, and shouted into the door with a somewhat hoarse voice: "Master, the people from the Yamen are here again!" After saying that, he ran away like a frightened rabbit.
As soon as Guo Zhiyuan and the three of them entered the door, they saw the mourning hall in the main hall, full of white curtains, two white candles lit on the platform, and a few plates of steamed buns and pig's head meat.
There is a black lacquer coffin in the center of the mourning hall, the coffin lid has not yet been covered, Guo Zhiyuan walked forward and stretched out his head to look inside, and was suddenly startled, there was a bloody corpse in the coffin, half of his face was blown off, and he couldn't see the appearance clearly, the flesh inside the wound on his face was turned out, and the residual black smoke inside the wound could still be vaguely seen.
Chu Wan'er also followed and poked in, so frightened that she almost screamed, thinking of maintaining her image as a female head catcher of divine martial arts, she forced her composure and finally didn't scream, but her pale face still betrayed the fear in her heart, and Xiaolan simply covered her face and didn't dare to look at it.
However, Zhang Cheng looked very calm, presumably he had seen too many of this kind of scene, and turned his head to Xiao Cui, who was cowering and hiding in the corner, and asked sharply: "What about your master Zhao Sheren?" Why don't you see anyone else?! ……”。
Xiao Cui was so frightened that she couldn't even speak, Guo Zhiyuan waved his hand at the fierce Zhang Cheng, and said to Xiao Cui and Yan Yuese: "Girl, don't be afraid, we just want to learn about the case from your master, there is no malicious ......."
Xiao Cui saw that Guo Zhiyuan was indeed different from those fierce and vicious government officials, so she was not so afraid, and pointed to the inner room tremblingly: "My master is tinkering with fire in the inner room!" …… Don't go in, my lord hates ...... most! ”。
Before she could finish speaking, Chu Wan'er couldn't hold it back, and took the lead in pushing open the corner door and walked in quickly, Guo Zhiyuan was afraid that she was in danger, so he hurriedly followed, only to see that the room was messy, an old man in his fifties was concentrating on a fire gun against the door, he was completely unkempt, his gray hair was fluffy and fluffy in a knot on the top of his head, his fingernails were black and stained, and his eyes were bloodshot, but they were as bright as stars, staring at the fire gun in his hand motionlessly, That gaze was like a womanizer seeing a stunning beauty, fanatical and obsessed, and he didn't even notice that Guo Zhiyuan and his party came in.
This person must be Zhao Shizhen, seeing this famous firearms expert, Guo Zhiyuan couldn't help but feel hot in his heart, although he knew that this person was likely to be related to the demon book case, but he was more respectful than hateful, this guy is really as obsessed with firearms as the legend, if he was born in modern times, he was only afraid of being an academician of the Academy of Sciences, it was more than enough, if he could subdue this person, it would be a big help to himself who came to this time and space.
Chu Wan'er was bent on solving the case, so naturally she didn't think as much about Guo Zhiyuan, and sneered at Zhao Shizhen and said: "Zhao Sheren, we came to investigate the case from Shuntianfu, your old servant is dead, and you still have the heart to tinker with these things here, could it be that you expected the death of your old servant?" ……”。
Guo Zhiyuan nodded secretly, it seems that Chu Wan'er said that she had a lot of experience in investigating cases, but she was not completely bragging, she caught the suspicion when she came up, and used psychological tactics, Zhao Shizhen was naturally easy to expose flaws when she was caught off guard, so Guo Zhiyuan did not stop Chu Wan'er from questioning Zhao Shizhen, and only quietly observed Zhao Shizhen's reaction on the side.
Zhao Shizhen raised his head, glanced at a few people, and snorted coldly: "Didn't the Shuntian Mansion already send a servant?" Although the old man's official rank is not high, he is not an ordinary person, what is the reason for you to come to the door again and again to disturb you?! Is it really easy to bully an old man? If you want to investigate the case, if you want to insert charges on the old man's head, I can't say that the old man wants to go to Dali Temple with you to theorize! ……”。
Chu Wan'er couldn't imagine that Zhao Shizhen's words were so sharp, and their investigation combination was originally a tiger skin to fill the banner and not be able to put it on the table, and for a while, there was a little speechless, Guo Zhiyuan was also secretly frightened, it seems that this Zhao Shizhen is really not simple, although he is obsessed with firearms, he is not the kind of scientific research madman who is completely unpopular, I am afraid that it will not be so easy to open a breakthrough from him.
Fortunately, Guo Zhiyuan was the mayor's secretary in his previous life, and he had to deal with those old men in scientific research units, and he also had some experience in this regard, so he hurriedly stepped forward and said respectfully to Zhao Shizhen: "Zhao Sheren misunderstood, we are not suspicious of Zhao Sheren, but there are still some doubts in this case, the boss ordered me to re-investigate, as far as I know, the old servant who died had served Mr. Zhao for 30 years, the master and servant are affectionate, presumably Mr. Zhao also hopes that the case will be revealed. We are also duty, if there is any offense, please also ask Zhao Sheren Haihan to ......".
Guo Zhiyuan's words were not leaky, soft and hard, and Zhao Shizhen was not easy to shirk, so he put down the fire gun in his hand, patted the stain on his chest, and said arrogantly: "My old servant committed suicide and died, I don't know what doubts there are at all, but since you have come to investigate, the old man will definitely cooperate, if there is anything to ask, leave quickly, don't delay the old man to study firearms, if you want to make any benefits, the old man's family is poor, don't make up your mind!" ……”。
Zhao Shizhen actually regarded himself as an official who came to blackmail, Guo Zhiyuan was secretly funny, but this was good, it could make Zhao Shizhen relax his vigilance, so he pretended to be a little disappointed and arched his hand: "Thank you Zhao Sheren for your cooperation, we are also routine, and I also ask Zhao Sheren to tell you in detail about the situation at that time, as for whether it is suicide, the free boss will decide the ......case."
Zhao Shizhen snorted coldly, and said expressionlessly: "There is nothing to say, Zhou Liang is an old servant who has followed me for thirty years, a few days ago there was a shortage of money in the family account room, I didn't blame him, but he blamed himself very much, last night, I was on duty in Wuying Palace, and I heard that Zhou Liang committed suicide when I came back, I don't know the specific situation, you can ask Xiaocui, she is the ...... witness on the scene."
