Chapter Twenty-Six: Local Tyrants
The wall of Wang Laohan's house is not very tall, but it is still a rather difficult obstacle compared to Shen Huan, who has no power to restrain the chicken, so he can only jump onto the wall by Xing Zhutou first, and then pull him up.
Falling to the ground, Shen Huan gasped slightly, and couldn't help but feel a little emotional, thinking about how vigorous he was when he climbed over the wall and went out to surf the Internet in school! Now that he has been reduced to a wall that is only more than two meters high, it can make him work so hard...... The quality of this body is really poor...... You have to exercise well, otherwise if you encounter any bad people in the future, let alone fight with people, you may not even be able to run......
At this moment, it was afternoon, Shen Huan estimated that Liang Ke and them went to worship outside the city, and now they should be on the way back, and there is not much time left for them, they must finish the investigation before Liang Ke and them come back, and leave here!
There was no one else in the courtyard, but no one dared to speak loudly, Song Shi whispered to Shen Huan, "What are we doing here again?" None of them are there! ”
"I'm here to try my luck and see if there are any clues in Wang Laohan's family about Wang Ping's repentance of marriage."
Shen Huan heard Song Shi and Xing Zhutou roll their eyes, this is really a chance to try! More than ten years have passed, and I'm afraid those things at home have long been thrown away! Still waiting for you to come and find it?
Looking at the speechless expressions on the faces of the two of them, Shen Huan could only forcibly find a reason, "You two don't worry!" I've always had good luck! Hurry up and help me find out, which is Wang Ping's bedroom back then? ”
The three of them searched separately in the yard, the courtyard of Wang Laohan's house was not big, only three or four rooms, and soon Shen Huan and they found Wang Ping's bedroom back then.
Stepping into the bedroom, the three of them were immediately stunned by the scene in front of them, Wang Ping's bedroom seemed to still maintain the same appearance as it was back then! Bed sheets, bedding, toiletries are all available! Even the tables were spotless! Apparently someone cleaned it all the time! Wang Laohan is old, and his hands and feet are inconvenient, obviously it can't be him! The only person who can do this is Liang Ke!
Rummaging through the boxes and cabinets, the three of them rummaged in the house, and soon Shen Huan had some gains! He found some gold and silver jewelry and clothes used by Wang Ping during his lifetime, which were made of the finest materials and workmanship! Judging from the family situation of Wang Ping's family, their family should not be able to afford such a valuable thing at all!
The discovery of these things undoubtedly corroborates my original judgment! But what he didn't understand was that Wang Ping, such a beautiful girl, why did she do such a thing?
Just when Shen Huan was puzzled, Song Shi also made a special discovery, and hurriedly called Shen Huan, "Brother Shen, what do you think this thing is?" ”
Looking in the direction of Song Shi's finger, he saw some white powder remaining on a corner of the wardrobe, at first Shen Huan thought that this should be wood chips gnawed down by mice, but when he stuck a little bit on his finger and smelled it, he realized that it was not wood chips!
The texture of these powders is delicate! It doesn't have the rough feel of sawdust, and it has a special fragrance! This fragrance was very familiar, and Shen Huan only felt as if he had smelled it somewhere before, but he couldn't remember where he had smelled it for a while......
I really couldn't think of it, so Shen Huan gave up, maybe it was just some ordinary dust, maybe it was just that he was so suspicious because he wanted to solve the case.
Came to the dresser, this is the place where Wang Ping dressed up before her death, although she is no longer there, but rouge gouache and other supplies are still placed here, just open the lid and take a look, Shen Huan sneezed several times in a row, so frightened that he quickly put it down, but at this moment, he found a detail and something special!
It was a piece of jade, although it had been broken into several pieces, but it was a treasure in terms of both jade quality and carving! There is a way that gold is priceless and jade is priceless, jade ornaments like this, ordinary ones are several times higher than the price of gold accessories, let alone high-quality goods like this! In terms of Wang Ping's economic conditions, she can't afford to buy such high-quality goods at all!
"What's going on here?"
Looking at the pieces of jewelry that he had found before, and then looking at the broken jade ornament in front of him, Shen Huan was also confused at the moment, and according to the information he had before, it was inferred that even if Wang Ping really achieved the wealth as she expected, then she shouldn't have so much money! Could it be that you have overlooked something?
Just when Shen Huan was meditating, Xing Zhutou suddenly heard what seemed to be a voice outside, and when he heard it carefully, it was Liang Ke and Wang Laohan who were back!
It seems that he is a thief, and after hearing the news that Liang Ke and they are back, Shen Huan immediately asked Xing Zhutou to take them out from the back wall.
Looking at Shen Huan's panicked appearance, Xing Zhutou was very puzzled and asked, "Mr. Shen, why are we running?"
"Nonsense! If you don't run, you'll be caught! ”
Shen Huan just wanted to say this, but he instantly realized a problem! He is now a foreign aid invited from the yamen! It is equivalent to the tolerance in the yamen! In the process of handling a case, as long as it is deemed necessary to search, the case-handling personnel can go to other people's homes at any time to search and collect evidence, even if they break in directly, there is no problem at all!
Swallowing these words back into his stomach, Shen Huan pretended to be serious and said: "Actually, I'm afraid of startling the snake, didn't I say it, the murderer is very likely to be someone Wang Ping knows, even Liang Ke and Wang Laohan are no exception!"
"I see, so what should we do next?" Xing Zhutou didn't think much about it, and asked again.
Shen Huan took out a piece of paper from his arms, this paper was printed with the jade ornament he had just found, and he hurried to pull it down before running away.
He handed the piece of paper to Xing Zhutou and said, "You first go to the jade workshop in the city to inquire and see if anyone has an impression of this jade ornament."
Hearing Shen Huan say this, Xing Zhutou was a little embarrassed, "Mr. Shen, I'm afraid it's hard to find just this painting if you don't have a physical object, right?" ”
"It's okay, you can rest assured to find it, although there is no physical object, but the carving of this jade ornament is very exquisite, it is estimated that it is from the hand of a famous artist, you go to inquire, I really can't find it!" said so, but Shen Huan didn't know the bottom in his heart, so he could only try his luck......
After asking Xing to hunt down the jade ornament, Shen Huan and the others separated from him. On the way back to Li's house, I don't know if it was the incident just now that reminded Song Shi of something, and said to Shen Huan: "Speaking of jade ornaments, I remember that you also have a jade pendant, right?"
"Hmmm! This was left to me by my father back then, haven't you seen it before? I also took it and played with it for a few days. ”
"Yes! I thought about it just now, and this piece of jade of yours seems to be a valuable thing! ”
Listening to Song Shi's words, Shen Huan was suddenly happy, "Don't be funny!" Don't you know what's going on in our family? My father has lived in the village all his life, and he has never even been to the city a few times, where does he get the money to buy good things! ”
"Maybe it wasn't your father who bought it, but your family heirlooms? I heard my father say that our ancestors also had a lot of good things, and our ancestors were ......."
"Stop! Stop! I've been tired of hearing these words of yours since I was a child, can we not talk about our ancestors? Let's find a place to pass the stomach first, shall we? ”
Shen Huan hurriedly stopped Song Shi, otherwise this guy would tell him the glorious history of his ancestors from the beginning! This guy has been boasting since he was a child that he is the descendant of Song Jing, the virtuous minister of the Tang Dynasty, but he has not seen the cow anywhere since he was a child, and he has been a farmer for several generations from him! I've never heard of anyone who has ever read a book! It's just a blaze!
Seeing Shen Huan like this, Song Shi lost his interest in blowing, and pulled Shen Huan to find a casual restaurant and went in, but he didn't expect that the one he was looking for was the best hotel in the city! Kyushu Hotel!
Looking at the luxurious furnishings inside, Shen Huan and Song Shi's first reaction was to hurry up! A meal here is enough for them to spend a lifetime! It's not a dish to eat here! It's silver for nothing!
Just when the two of them wanted to leave, the waiter who greeted them at the door had already come to their side, and after tidying up their clothes for them, he smiled at the two and said: "The two sons are inside, please, the private room is empty now, please sit in the two sons for a while, and I will bring you a menu in a while."
Hearing this, Shen Huan was in a cold sweat, he could see that the waiter in front of him had received very good training, and there was a faint bookish atmosphere in his gestures, there were few such restaurants to welcome guests even in the capital! If he really sat inside as the waiter said, it is estimated that the pot of tea placed on it would be enough for him to wash the dishes here for a year or two!
"No, no, no! We're on the wrong track! I didn't look carefully when I came in! ”
Song Shi also trembled in his heart, and after speaking, he quickly pulled Shen Huan and wanted to leave here, but at this moment, he only heard the waiter say: "You two are not wrong, this is the Kyushu Hotel, the owner said, you can come here to eat at any time."
"I don't know your host!"
As soon as Song Shi said this, the two suddenly realized something, Shen Huan looked at the waiter, and asked in disbelief: "Your owner won't be Li Cheng and Li Dashan, right?"
"Yes."
Hearing the waiter's affirmative answer, Shen Huan and Song Shi looked at each other, they knew that Li Cheng was a rich man, but they really didn't expect that even this famous Kyushu Hotel in Jiangsu and Zhejiang was actually opened by Li Cheng! This TM is too rich, right?!
Brought the stunned Shen Huan and Song Shi into the private room, the waiter smiled and bowed to them and withdrew, looking at these exquisite cold dishes and luxurious decorations placed in front of him, Song Shi spit out a sentence in a daze......
"I'll ......"
