Chapter 13: The Truth Behind the Truth

Guo Zhiyuan glanced at Cui'er sympathetically, pointed at Zhao Shizhen and said, "Where is your father now?" Then you have to ask your master, only he knows best! ……”。

Zhao Shizhen became more and more flustered, and said with a dodgy gaze: "I don't know what you're talking about!" How do I know where Zhou Liang is? ……”。

Guo Zhiyuan was not in a hurry to expose Zhao Shizhen's lies, he just stared at him with a smile, Zhao Shizhen felt that Guo Zhiyuan's gaze was as sharp as a blade, which made his heart tremble, how could a young man have such a sharp gaze, and the sweat on his forehead came out.

After a while, Zhang Cheng walked in quickly, holding two shoes in his hands, respectfully handed the shoes to Guo Zhiyuan with both hands, and said respectfully: "Childe is really clever, Zhou Liang really didn't die, the two shoes in the villain's hand, one is Zhao Sheren's, the other is the old servant's, I have compared with the footprints in the grass outside the windowsill of the secret room, Zhao Sheren's shoe size is slightly smaller than the footprints in the grass, and Lao Zhou's shoes are completely consistent with the footprints in the grass!" ……”。

The villain also deliberately re-examined the corpse in the coffin, the corpse only had calluses on the middle finger of the right hand, the palm was calloon-free, and the nails were slender, obviously not like the hands of servants who often needed to serve tea and pour water, but more like the hands of a scholar who often used a brush! Therefore, it can be concluded that the body in the coffin is by no means Zhou Liang! ……”。

Guo Zhiyuan glanced at Zhang Cheng appreciatively, it seems that he really didn't choose the wrong person, this Zhang Cheng is quick-witted, meticulous, and can check and fill in the gaps, he is indeed a good assistant, so his inference is completely established, and the whole case is a fake case laid out by Zhao Shizhen, so his purpose in doing this is worth scrutinizing.

Thinking of this, Guo Zhiyuan took the shoes in Zhang Cheng's hand and waved at Zhao Shizhen: "Zhao Sheren, the matter should be very clear, can you tell us now, why are you doing this?!" ……”。

Zhao Shizhen sat down on the chair behind him weakly, his face was cloudy, his Adam's apple kept shaking up and down, obviously his heart was doing a fierce struggle, after a while, he clenched his fists, closed his eyes painfully, looked up to the sky and sighed and said: "Alas, people are not as good as the sky, I have exhausted my calculations, and laid down this seamless situation, but I didn't expect to be seen through by your ignorant child!" Yes, all this is exactly what the old man did, Zhou Liang has been killed by me, if you want to kill or chop, come to the old man! ”。

Chu Wan'er jumped up when she heard this, pointed at Zhao Shizhen and scolded: "Sure enough, it's you!" I doubted you from the beginning, but when I saw that you old guy was not a good person, now the truth is revealed! ……”。

Xiao Cui looked at Zhao Shizhen with a face full of disbelief, and said in a trembling voice: "Master, really... Is it really you? You... Why do you want to kill... Kill my dad?! You... Didn't you say that we are like your relatives? You... Why is your heart so ruthless?! ……”。

Zhao Shizhen shook his head painfully, two lines of turbid tears flowed down his wrinkled face, and said in a trembling voice: "Xiaocui, don't ask!" I'm sorry for your father, I'm sorry for you, I can only pay you back in the next life! ……”。

Guo Zhiyuan frowned, he didn't believe that Zhao Shizhen really killed the old servant, because he had no motive to do so at all, from Zhao Shizhen's expression, it could be seen that he had a deep affection for the old servant and the Xiaocui family, how could he kill the old servant?

But Zhao Shizhen took the initiative to admit that he killed someone, which would not only ruin his reputation, betray his relatives, but also cause him to take his life, what made him pay such a big price to cover up the real truth? !

Thinking of this, a fine light flashed in Guo Zhiyuan's eyes, and he looked at Zhao Shizhen with burning eyes and said, "I'm afraid things are not so simple!" You can't fool me, you don't have the motivation to do it at all, what the hell are you trying to cover up? I want to know the real truth! ……”。

At this time, Zhao Shizhen suddenly became excited, stood up suddenly, clenched his fists, and roared a little hysterically: "I said that all this was done by the old man, what else do you want?!" I was so good to Zhou Liang, but he took my money behind my back, and I killed him in a fit of rage, this is my motive for killing! That's the truth! ……”。

Chu Wan'er also looked at Guo Zhiyuan with a strange expression and said: "Yes, are you too suspicious, he himself admitted to killing, killing people is to pay for his life, why do you have to lie if he doesn't even want his life, you have nothing wrong with your brain!" ……”。

Guo Zhiyuan ignored Chu Wan'er, shook his head at Zhao Shizhen and said: "No, your motive is not valid at all, Zhou Liang has followed you for so many years, and he is like a family, how could you kill him for such a trivial matter, take 10,000 steps back and say, even if you kill Zhou Liang, what is the matter with the corpse in the coffin?" Aren't you doing this too much? You don't even want your own life, but you want to cover up the truth behind this, it seems that this truth must be extraordinary, you will only want to cover it up by doing this, and let me want to know what the truth behind this truth is?! ……”。

"Yes! What you said seems to have some truth......" Chu Wan'er said suddenly, looking at Guo Zhiyuan's gaze became more and more weird, and said in her heart, why are there so many twists and turns in this guy's brain.

Zhao Shizhen was caught off guard by Guo Zhiyuan's series of forced questions, and he was secretly surprised in his heart, the young man in front of him was too powerful, and he carefully arranged the situation that he thought was seamless in front of him, but it was full of loopholes, it was really not easy to deceive this kid, so he simply came to a dead pig who was not afraid of boiling water, and his neck was stalked, and his eyes were closed: "Whatever you say, I killed the person anyway, and I bought the corpse from Yizhuang, and I also told you the motive for the killing, there is nothing else to say, anyway, it's a big deal, You don't want to know anything from me......".

Guo Zhiyuan couldn't imagine that Zhao Shizhen would come with him for this trick, and he was a little dumbfounded, Zhao Shizhen was not even afraid of death, it was just a stone in the toilet--- it was smelly and hard, even if he knew that he was hiding a bigger secret behind him, there was no way for him to tell it!

For a while, it fell into a stalemate, Zhao Shizhen would rather die and refuse to tell the truth, and Guo Zhiyuan was still worried about subduing this firearms expert and making him a big help for his achievements in this era, since it was impossible to really hand him over to Jinyiwei to be tortured, so what should he do?

Guo Zhiyuan clenched his fists involuntarily, and suddenly his fingers touched a hard object in his sleeve, which was the piece of wood that he had just picked up in the secret room, his eyes lit up suddenly, and he turned his head to Zhang Cheng and Chu Wan'er on the side and said: "This case is very important, I want to talk to Zhao Sheren alone for a while, please Brother Zhang and Miss Chu avoid it first, okay......."
