Chapter Seventy-Four: Mistaken
After a day of investigation, it was finally found that there were only two people who went out of the city twice, and these two people were together, so the two of them were directly taken to the county office.
Liu Yuanwai has been waiting, originally thought that there would be no results today, because the sky was slowly darkening, who knew that someone actually brought it, and when he saw this person, he was also slightly surprised.
This person is none other than Dr. Sun, who came to his house before and helped to see a doctor.
Dr. Sun and he have also been friends for more than ten years, and the relationship between the two is very good, it can be said that they are also teachers and friends, and the friendship is naturally extraordinary.
So when he saw them bring Dr. Sun over, Liu Yuanwai was particularly surprised, and directly turned his head in confusion and said to Shen Lian.
"Could there be some misunderstanding in this, I am already an old acquaintance with Dr. Sun, he would not have done such a thing at all, you must have been mistaken."
Shen Lian smiled slightly and shook his head.
"This kind of thing can't be said for sure, many times some things happen that are done by people you know around you, so it's unknown whether he is still here this time, don't be in such a hurry to make up your mind."
Liu Yuanwai admitted that there was some truth in her words, but she still insisted on her own point of view.
He still has a good understanding of Dr. Sun's character, Dr. Sun is the kind of person who doesn't care about money at all, so it is naturally impossible to do this kind of thing.
Doctor Sun saved his life before, he gave more than 100 taels of silver, but Doctor Sun didn't accept it, only collected the consultation fee and the cost of medicine, and there was not much else at all, so it can be seen how his character is, so now he is suspected of stealing his daughter's dowry, no matter what, Liu Yuanwai has no way to believe it.
Just as they were talking, Dr. Sun also came over and asked puzzledly.
"By the way, what are you doing here? Our father and son were just about to leave the city when you called us, is there something wrong? Liu Yuanwai was embarrassed for a while, and he didn't know how to explain, and at this time, Chu Xi, who was standing next to Shen Lian, began to speak.
"That's the case, isn't Liu Yuanwai's daughter going to get married in the past few days? But the dowry is gone, and I don't know who stole it, so we're still investigating. ”
After hearing this, he nodded, indicating that he understood, but soon changed to a particularly surprised gaze and stared at Liu Yuanwai.
"No, what do you mean? Do you suspect that I stole something? We've known each other for so many years, and I think you know what my character is, but now all of a sudden you suspect me. ”
After a pause, he continued, "If you really suspect that I did it, then you can only take someone to my house to search and see if you can find something, if you find it, I won't say anything, and you will be punished, but if you can't find it, you have to give me a reasonable explanation." ”
"This ......" Liu Yuanwai was embarrassed, this was not his intention at all, and he believed in Dr. Sun very much in his heart, and he would not think that he could do such a thing.
But now the scene was a little embarrassing, which made him a little overwhelmed, and he didn't know what to say, so he could only turn his eyes to Shen Lian for help and ask her to help talk about it.
At this time, Shen Lian did not have any panic, but felt a little interesting, it seems that this Doctor Sun's psychological quality is still very good, even if he is brought here, he is still not surprised.
"Well, even if a thief has stolen everything, how can he hide it in his own house? In that case, if it is suspected, it will not be directly searched, but no thief with a little brain will do this, and after stealing something, the thief will definitely hide it in other relatively hidden places, and will definitely transfer these stolen things outside the city. ”
After hearing this, Dr. Sun asked directly.
"But we didn't take anything with us when we left the city, and if we really stole it, how could we have moved? Where do we have the time? Where's the opportunity? "That's true, according to the two of them just now, they didn't carry anything with them when they were born, and this can still be proved.
Having said that, Shen Lian had other questions she wanted to ask.
"If you're not out of town to deliver or buy something, then why do you go out of town twice so often? Can you explain why? Faced with such a question, Dr. Sun and his son were stunned, and they couldn't come up with a reasonable explanation for a while, which made Shen Lian even more suspicious of the two of them.
The two of them couldn't even say what they were doing when they went out of the city, it was obvious that there was something tricky, but Shen Lian was also a little confused, the two of them must have to transport things when they went out of the city like this, but they didn't carry any packages or anything like that, how did they transport it? Could it be that it was transported by means such as a horse-drawn cart, she couldn't help but have such a question in her heart.
However, you also have to know the news that there are no carriages today, let alone anything that can be loaded, that is, this possibility does not exist.
It's not very likely that someone else can help you get something out, because it's stolen goods, and if you find it, your life will be at risk.
So even if someone is willing to help transport them out, the two of them will never give it away, after all, if something happens, they will suffer.
But for a while, Shen Lian couldn't think of a reasonable explanation, how to transport it out of the city, just when she was thinking about it, Yin Chen stepped forward and walked around Doctor Sun and his son, which lasted for a long time.
And it was precisely because of his action that Shen Lian suddenly had an idea, and her eyes were also firmly fixed on Dr. Sun and his son, because there was already a guess in her heart, but she couldn't be sure.
It's not impossible to get things out of town without carrying any packages.
She just suddenly thought of a possible way, which is safer and ordinary people don't want to find out anything.
After going through the series of observations, she finally affirmed the guess in her heart, and there should be no problem.
Both Dr. Sun and his son are relatively thin, which can be seen from their external contours, plus their wrists are also relatively thin.
This state is quite normal, and there is no doubt about it, but the two of them are dressed a little bloated, and it stands to reason that two thin people will not look so fat at all.
It was precisely because of this discovery that Shen Lian was so confident, because she knew that she had already found a way for them to transport things out.
However, Liu Yuanwai still believes in Dr. Sun very much after all, and the friendship between them is also very deep, so he still wants to give their father and son a chance, if the two of them can explain everything frankly, then they may be able to be lenient.
She looked at the two of them earnestly and said, "It's already this time, aren't you ready to tell the truth?" I already know how you get things out. ”
Even if the words have been said to this point, Dr. Sun still bites himself to death and has nothing to do with this matter, insisting that he was wronged, and saying that Shen Lian is pouring dirty water on them, and he has no ability to just wronged an honest person.
didn't expect him to be so silent tomorrow night, Shen Lian didn't continue to be polite, and directly told his discovery.
"If you still don't want to admit it, then you can just take off your own coat, let everyone see what you are wearing inside, and you can prove your innocence."
As soon as these words came out, Dr. Sun showed an extremely shocked expression, because he didn't expect Shen Lian to know about it, because he and his son were both dressed very secretly, and outsiders couldn't see it at all, how could she know?
