Chapter 340: Everyone is happy
Then he squinted at Zhang Chenglin, and asked suspiciously: "Zhang Chenglin, why did you suddenly run to Miao Caiwei's room last night to deliver tea?" ”
It seems that at this time, he is suspecting that Zhang Chenglin is the murderer.
Hearing him ask, Zhang Mingyuan next to Zhang Chenglin suddenly became excited again, but unfortunately, Gu Qing didn't know what was going on with his mouth, and he couldn't say a word.
The others, including Zhang Xiaoyu, were all slightly stunned, and the careful Gongsun Jian found that Zhang Xiaoyu's eyelids suddenly jumped down several times in addition to being stunned.
After being stunned, Zhang Chenglin over there sighed first, and then spoke: "My lord, I sent tea last night to apologize." ”
"Apologize?" Gongsun Jian muttered in surprise.
"Yes, my lord, I didn't have a very good attitude towards my aunt in the past, so I thought I would find an opportunity to apologize to him." Zhang Chenglin finished this sentence with a somewhat gloomy face.
He just wanted to have a good relationship with his stepmother, but who would have thought that the other party would die tragically in the room early the next morning.
"Then why did you go there late at night to apologize?" Gongsun Jian asked curiously.
There's no way, he can't be curious about this kind of thing, in fact, it's not just him, even Zhang Mingyuan is staring at his son with his eyes.
"Because... Because it came to me suddenly. It seems that he is a little nervous to be stared at, or maybe Zhang Chenglin really has something in mind, so he speaks a little intermittently.
Seeing this, Gongsun Jian was a little surprised, this Zhang Chenglin wouldn't really have anything beyond Miao Caiwei, right?
I don't know if Gu Qing is also particularly interested in this kind of thing, so he ran directly to Zhang Mingyuan's side, went up and clicked twice to close his mouth again.
It's a pity that to the disappointment of Gu Qing and Gongsun Jian, Zhang Mingyuan just opened his mouth, wanted to say something but couldn't say it, and finally sighed, and lowered his head deeply with a very lonely expression.
To be honest, seeing Zhang Mingyuan's expression, Gongsun Jian wanted to step forward and comfort him a few words.
But after all, is it considering that the case is being handled now? So Gongsun Jian could only dispel this thought.
"Zhang Mingyuan, who did you meet when you served tea yesterday?" Gongsun Jian suddenly asked.
Since the poison was in the teacup, it means that Zhang Xiaoyu must have touched the teacup last night.
It's just that what made Gongsun Jian a little speechless was that after Zhang Chenglin heard Gongsun Jian's words, his eyelids jumped a few times, and he said with a somewhat nervous expression: "My lord, I was alone yesterday, and there was no one else." ”
"Are you sure?" Gongsun Jian asked coldly.
Hearing the words, Gongsun Jian now began to have some doubts, whether Zhang Chenglin had anything to do with Zhang Xiaoyu, otherwise why would he hide it?
As if he had made some decision, Zhang Chenglin at this time was obviously not nervous, and said solemnly: "My lord, I'm pretty sure that I was the only one when I poured tea yesterday." ”
As soon as he said this, Zhang Mingyuan was not as excited as he was just now, and he didn't know what he was thinking at this time.
It's just that Gongsun Jian was even more surprised that Zhang Xiaobao was excited at this time.
"My lord, yesterday it was the villain who brought the tea to the young master."
As soon as his words came out, Gongsun Jian was stunned.
Originally, he thought that Zhang Chenglin was covering up the truth of the matter for Zhang Xiaoyu, but he never expected that it was to cover up for Zhang Xiaobao.
The brotherhood between the two of them is so good? It can't really be a half-brother, right?
Thinking of this, Gongsun Jian glanced at Zhang Mingyuan slightly. It's a pity that he doesn't seem to have recovered from the blow just now, so he still keeps his head down and doesn't speak.
Sighing slightly, just as Gongsun Jian wanted to continue to ask Zhang Xiaobao, Zhang Chenglin on the side shouted excitedly: "My lord, I was indeed the only one last night, there was no matter about Xiaobao, and I killed my aunt." ”
frowned slightly, and before Gongsun Jian could speak to shut him up, Gu Qing on the side walked over very sensibly.
However, this time Gongsun Jian stopped it in time.
"Brother Gu, no need."
"Yes, sir."
After receiving the order of Gongsun Jian, Fa Guqing could only reluctantly accept the order, and then walked back to his position to continue watching the play.
Although he was surprised that Gu Qing had become so eye-catching now, Gongsun Jian didn't bother so much at this time.
He just looked at Zhang Chenglin coldly and said, "Zhang Chenglin, are you going to handle the case or the official is going to handle it?" I ask, you answer! lest you suffer from flesh and skin! ”
At this time, Zhang Mingyuan, who was on the side, seemed to come back to his senses, pulled his son's sleeve and whispered: "Cheng Lin, do you still want to find the real murderer for your aunt?" ”
"But..." Zhang Chenglin glanced at Zhang Xiaobao beside him, with some hesitation on his face.
In the end, he didn't speak anymore under Zhang Xiaobao's eyes.
Gongsun Jian was a little surprised by this, it seems that Zhang Xiaobao can make him more obedient!
Otherwise, why didn't Zhang Xiaobao even say anything, just a glance movement to shut him up?
"Zhang Xiaobao, who did you meet yesterday when you served tea?" While asking Zhang Xiaobao, Gongsun Jian was also looking at Zhang Xiaoyu beside him with his spare eyes.
It's a pity that Gongsun Jian was a little disappointed, Zhang Xiaoyu didn't have any other expression except for a few eyelid jumps.
Sure enough, Zhang Xiaobao over there replied directly after hearing Gongsun Jian's question: "My lord, no one saw it when the villain poured tea yesterday." ”
Hearing his answer, Zhang Chenglin was a little anxious, and hurriedly said: "My lord, I put the poison after I brought the teacup from Xiaobao last night, and I killed my aunt." ”
"What kind of poison did you put in?" Gongsun Jian suddenly frowned and asked.
"Skin cream?" Zhang Mingyuan asked tentatively, and after seeing that Gongsun Jian had no expression, he hurriedly said: "It's the crane top red, the crane top red." ”
"I think you're farting, right?" Gongsun Jian said coldly.
He was depressed to death by this family, and set up difficulties for him everywhere to handle cases.
It was difficult for him to clear the suspicion of several people.
Zhang Chenglin over there didn't react for a while, and then Gongsun Jian's words said: "Yes, I farted, let go..."
Listening to his words, the people around him almost laughed.
However, although the scene was embarrassing, Zhang Chenglin still cried and shouted: "My lord, I am a murderer, I am a murderer, arrest me quickly!" ”
Frowning, Gongsun Jian looked at Gu Qing, who was smiling and watching the play next to him.
Seeing that Gongsun Jian cast his gaze, he didn't react at first, but then it was instantaneous. So he hurriedly ran to Zhang Chenglin's side, and clicked twice to make him open his mouth wide and speechless.
Glaring at Zhang Chenglin fiercely, Gu Qing said, "Whoever the adult says is the murderer, whoever is the murderer." You can't admit it! ”
To be honest, for Gu Qing's domineering words, Gongsun Jian was quite satisfied.
Nodding at him with a smile, Gu Qing, who was happy all of a sudden, laughed again.
Turning his head, Gongsun Jian looked at Zhang Xiaobao again, "What were you doing when you were called over by Zhang Chenglin last night?" ”
With a little hesitation, Zhang Xiaobao spoke: "My lord, I was with the young master last night. ”
"When are you going to pour tea?" Gongsun Jian continued to ask.
"Hey." Zhang Xiaobao just thought for a moment and blurted out.
It's just that his answer surprised Gongsun Jian a little, after all, ancient times are not as rich in nightlife as in the new century.
Basically, in ancient times, everyone began to rest in the evening, and the time was equivalent to ten o'clock in the evening.
At this time, he was still in Zhang Chenglin's room, so what were they doing?
In this regard, Gongsun Jian did not ask, after all, this is not about this case.
He just looked at Zhang Chenglin, and Zhang Chenglin over there nodded to confirm that Zhang Xiaobao's words were true.
"How long did it take you to pour tea?" Gongsun Jian asked.
"Less than half a pillar of incense." Zhang Xiaobao said very honestly.
"So short?" Gongsun Jian was a little surprised, after all, it takes time to boil boiling water, right? Not to mention the tea that was poured with it.
"Yes, my lord, it didn't take long to pour it last night because there was boiling water in the kitchen."
"Did you prepare it in advance?" Gongsun Jian asked.
"No, my lord, I have been in the young master's room since dinner yesterday." Zhang Xiaobao said something that shocked many people present.
Although Gongsun Jian was still curious about why he had been in Zhang Chenglin's room so late, he could only wait for the case to end before asking.
Therefore, he hurriedly looked at Zhang Chenglin again, and sure enough, Zhang Chenglin nodded, confirming that Zhang Xiaobao's words were true.
Nodding pretendedly, Gongsun Jian suddenly looked at Zhang Xiaoyu.
"Was that the boiling water you prepared last night?"
To Gongsun Jian's surprise, Zhang Xiaoyu over there directly admitted it.
"Yes, my lord, I was going to boil water to wash my wife's feet." Zhang Xiaoyu said unhurriedly.
"Who testifies?" Gongsun Jian asked coldly.
He knew that Zhang Xiaoyu would definitely say that Miao Caiwei saw it, but now that Miao Caiwei was dead, there was no one to prove it at all.
But even so, Gongsun Jian had to ask, because he had no way to break the situation so far.
It's just that to Gongsun Jian's surprise, Zhang Xiaoyu didn't say Miao Caiwei, but said: "My lord, my lord saw me in the kitchen last night." ”
"Oh?" Gongsun Jian was surprised for a moment, then turned his head to Zhang Mingyuan and asked, "Zhang Mingyuan, is her words true?" ”
"My lord, that's true, I did see Xiaoyu go to the kitchen last night." Zhang Mingyuan didn't dare to hide it, so he quickly said it.
"And what did you do in the kitchen last night?" Gongsun Jian opened his mouth and asked, no way, this question is related to the case, even if the murderer is not Zhang Mingyuan, Gongsun Jian has to ask.
Maybe you'll be lucky enough to find some clues.
Hearing Gongsun Jian's question, Zhang Mingyuan over there was a little embarrassed, hesitated slightly, and then said, "I was with Xiaoyu last night." ”
Although Gongsun Jian felt a little confused about the relationship between the Zhang Mansion, he still continued to ask, "When will it start and when will it end?" ”
This question made Zhang Mingyuan a little embarrassed, but he still answered honestly.
"It's about midevening."
Without continuing to ask, Gongsun Jian understood what the two of them should have done last night.
It's just that at the same time, Gongsun Jian also aroused curiosity.
Could it be that this case is really a love killing?
Is it because Zhang Xiaoyu wants to be on top, so he killed the main house?
Just thought about it, Gongsun Jian shook his head in his heart again.
This is the ancient world, not the new century!
It's still okay for a rich person to marry an extra concubine, not to mention that according to Zhang Mingyuan, Zhang Xiaoyu has a good relationship with Miao Caiwei, and the two daughters serve a husband, I believe Miao Caiwei won't care.
So Zhang Xiaoyu didn't need to kill Miao Caiwei at all.
Of course, these thoughts in his heart were quickly dispelled by Gongsun Jian, because now even if he guessed the motive for the killing, it was useless.
Without evidence, Gongsun Jian couldn't catch Zhang Xiaoyu at all.
For a while, Gongsun Jian was completely caught in a dead end, because although Zhang Xiaoyu was the murderer, she had alibi evidence.
