The blonde Xihu woman, Kelly, was slightly stunned and immediately recovered. But the pillar sitting in the back was obviously relieved.

Chen Laoshi smiled: "There are several elders who have been waiting for a long time, and I, Chen Laoshi, am ashamed." The house is simple, although there are distinguished guests who come to the door to shine, but they also treat the distinguished guests slowly, and they are ashamed and ashamed. ”

"Where is it, children's studies are big, ten years of trees and a hundred years of people, Mr. Chen benefits one party, and the younger generations should be sorry to disturb. Although the humble room is small, it is self-sufficient, and it is completely a hermit's style, and the younger generations should learn from Mr. with an open mind. ”

"Good. Pillar, mountain root, you two still have to guard the gate of the village, both go to work. I'll talk to the governors from the capital for a while. I didn't have time to prepare lunch, so please ask your mother-in-law to help me get two dishes, slaughter a chicken, entertain the guests from afar, and then trouble her to send them later. ”

"Okay, no trouble. It'll be in a while, uncle, don't worry. The pillar accepted it honestly, turned around and bowed to the women, and said, "Sir, sit slowly." Uncle Honest is the benefactor of our Xiaowang Village, thank you for coming to meet Uncle, we welcome you in the whole village of Xiaowang Village. You talk, the meal will be there later. ”

After speaking, the pillar pulled the mountain root, who was still at a loss, and walked out of the courtyard of Chen Laoshi's house.

Sun Yizhen turned her head and signaled, and Li Zhien, who was still behind her, nodded and walked towards the courtyard gate. Holding the door with his hand, Li Zhien looked back at Chen Laoshi and smiled slightly: "Uncle Honest, we may not want the villagers to hear some things, can we close the door and talk?" ”

Chen Laoshi didn't answer, nodded silently and solemnly, then reached out and fumbled, took out the cigarette stick from the back waist, and began to fill the tobacco, while looking up at Kelly and Sun Yizhen in front of him: "I've been smoking for decades, and I can't quit." Several ladies can only apologize. The two girls in the back also came to sit and sat down to talk. ”

The courtyard of Chen Laoshi's house was closed for the first time in more than 20 years.

Li Zhien returned to the back of the desk, and just when he heard Chen Laoshi's words, he went to the courtyard wall and moved two low bamboo chairs. Jiang Shiyan and Deng Xiujing next to them stepped forward to join hands, and the three daughters sat down behind Sun Yizhen and Kelly.

At this time, Sun Yizhen lifted a backpack from her feet and said with a smile: "Mr. Chen, do you want to have some beef jerky from Chang'an?" I haven't tasted my hometown for decades. This is what our chief specially asked the lower officer to bring to you. ”

Chen Laoshi smacked his cigarette and slowly raised his head, his eyes full of doubt.

Sun Yizhen smiled slightly: "Mr. Chen, let me introduce again, I am the acting director of the Second Intelligence Division of the Federal Bureau of Investigation, junior police superintendent Sun Yizhen. Our Bureau of Investigation is a new federal agency created last year, and you may not know it. Investigation of serious and important cases within the federal territory under the responsibility of the Department of Public Prosecution.

These are my colleagues. Operation Captain Kelly, Intelligence Team Leader Jiang Shiyan, Operations Team Leader Li Zhien, and this is the telecommunications team leader Deng Xiujing. Also all from the capital. ”

"Hello Mr. Chen." The sweet greetings of the three girls in the back row sounded.

Chen Honest, who has always been kind to people and very polite, did not respond to the girl's greetings. He took a deep breath of his cigarette and smiled reluctantly, "What should come will always come." Ladies and gentlemen, I ......."

Sun Yizhen interrupted Chen's honest words and said with a smile: "You should be aware of federal law, there is a drawback of a prosecution period. 15 years for general criminal cases and 25 years for vicious criminal cases. Although the court can file a request for a special action in a major criminal case, it is a long process.

We came out this time, and really saw what you have done for Xiaowangzhuang, and we came to greet you with a heart of commendation. Our prefect, Director Yu, specially explained to his subordinates, and I just want you to tell us a story. ”

Chen honestly looked at the big eyes that were so moving, in addition to the fresh breath on his face, he felt sincerity and sincerity, his hands trembled slightly, cleaned up the ashes, and began to tell the story that had been forgotten.

37 years ago, in 655, there was a tragedy in Chang'an City, where the local famous family Miss Lu Sitong and her daughter Lu Wen were killed at home, along with her father Lu Song, housekeepers, guards, subordinates and other 8 people.

The missing male owner, Gu Cheng Gu Luosi, has become a major suspect and has been wanted by the police station.

The specific facts of the case were that the housekeeper and other subordinates died of poisoning, and someone put a large amount of phenolic highly poisonous rat poison into the dinner they ate. The housekeepers, guards, and others were poisoned and died almost unconsciously.

The clinical symptoms of phenolic poisoning are damage to the nervous system, malaise, tonic spasms, to paralysis and death, and some people also show vomiting. The murderer mixed sleeping pills with the poison, so the people should have died in their sleep without suffering much.

The other three victims, Lu Song, the father of the Lu family, died of heart penetrating injuries, and the murderer used a sharp weapon such as a knife to pierce the heart of Lu's father at close range. Lu's father's expression after his death showed surprise, and he committed the crime at close range, which can be judged to be an acquaintance.

Lu Shi was strangled to death in bed, with obvious compressive contusions on his neck, and his handprints judged that the perpetrator was a man, with wide palms, which matched the characteristics of the main suspect Gu Cheng. Gu Cheng and Lu's eight-year-old daughter died in her sleep after being injected with sleeping pills.

Doctor's records show that Lu Wen has been suffering from the flu for several days and has to hang the needle every day. It is speculated that someone injected sleeping pills into the hanging needle, resulting in the death of Lu Nu.

The case is not complicated, although there is no evidence to point to, but the situation at the scene directly points the suspicion to the male owner Gu Cheng. However, this case has aroused great concern and backlash from the society. There are two main reasons for this.

First of all, the suspect Gu Cheng, who was 29 years old at the time, worked in the Chang'an Public Works Department, and he was born as a technician, and he had an excellent reputation in the local area. As the technical backbone of the Public Works Department, he is very popular, simple and sincere, and conscientious in his work, and is known as a "model husband" and "ideal father".

His wife, Lu Sitong, worked as a clerk in the state capital, worked decently, was beautiful, enthusiastic and generous, and was a small celebrity in the local high society. At the age of 17, he married Chen Cheng, who graduated from a private school at the age of 19, and married Chen Cheng for ten years and had a daughter.

I have never heard of any public conflicts and quarrels between the two. Lu Shi also often confided in her girlfriends before that marrying Chen Cheng was her luck in this life, and it is said that she also had the desire to have another child to give birth to a son for Chen Cheng.

If there is any disharmony between the two sides, the only problem is that Gu Cheng's family is poor, and he originally belonged to the serfs of the Lu family. The combination with Lu's is of a semi-redundant nature. Although the husband and wife moved out of the ancestral house of the Lu family in Xianyang to live independently, their daughter took the surname of her mother and named her Lu Wen.

Let's talk about another victim, Lu Song, compared with the good reputation of his son-in-law's daughter, Lu Song was unbearable in the first half of his life. The Xianyang Lu family, in the entire Chang'an City area, belongs to a famous family, but this reputation is really not very good.

In Xianyang, the Lu family is known as the local tyrant, and almost all the business of the lower nine streams is controlled by the Lu family, and a large number of acres of land are occupied in the local area, and countless serfs are raised. In the early years, several sons of the Lu family, Lu Song and others, bullied men and women locally, and were known as the four tigers of the Lu family.

However, due to the huge financial resources and power of the Lu family, although there are occasional victims who go to court, they are ultimately gone.

Lu Sitong was originally born to Lu Song's concubine, but she was smart and well-behaved since she was a child, and she was also quite loved by Lu Song. In the public school, he met Gu Cheng, who was born in the Lu family and became a free man, and soon combined with Gu Cheng. After marriage, Gu Cheng graduated from public school, entered the Public Works Department as a formal civil servant, and two years later, Lu also graduated from public school and joined the Finance Bureau as a clerk.

A few years later, Lu Song also left his housework in Xianyang and moved to Chang'an for development, running several brothels and nightclubs in Chang'an City. Chang'an City is where the city government is located, and after Lu Song came, his actions were somewhat restrained, and he was old, and the wind evaluation was okay, but people who didn't know the details didn't know that his past was so unbearable. But after all, it's a leather and meat business, and it's not going to be much better.

After Lu Song arrived in Chang'an, his interactions with the young couple gradually became more and more intense, and he often visited his granddaughter at the Gu family on weekends, and helped the Gu family to buy a small building that happened later, and added housekeepers and servants. According to the general inference, it should be that the relationship with the son-in-law and daughter is not bad.

These backgrounds are not the key, the focus is on the investigation process after the case, and gradually uncovered that Lu Song had large and small connections with the local underworld after entering Chang'an, and some illegal activities were also broken out in nightclubs and brothels, although they were covered up by the Lu family's forces and the police, but the rumors of drug trafficking and gangsters could not be shaken off.

After examining some of Lu's diaries, including interrogating the servants, it was found that Lu's relationship with Gu Cheng in the past six months was not as harmonious as it seemed, and words such as waste, waste, and useless goods appeared in her diary. And some written evidence also shows that the Lu family owed a lot of debts in private, as high as hundreds of silver dollars,

For a family of double civil servants like Gu Cheng and his wife, although Gu Cheng is an intellectual and technical person and has a good salary, the combined salary of the two is only more than 10 silver dollars, and these foreign debts are already a year's income of their family.

Most of the creditors who owe debts are members of the Lu family, and there are even usurers secretly controlled by his father Lu Song. Let the public's evaluation of Lu's father and daughter drop again and again.

And the murder suspect Gu Cheng, no matter how he investigates, is such a gentle and sunny image, and almost no one gives him a negative evaluation. On the day of the incident, some neighbors saw Gu Cheng buy back his daughter's favorite cooked fruits in the vegetable market, and he went to the night market for supper at around 10 o'clock after the incident. I ordered a bowl of noodles and packed two cooking cakes, talking and laughing without hindrance, no different from the past and even seemed in a good mood.

It wasn't until the next morning that the neighbors noticed that the Gu family did not open the courtyard gate, and when they passed by the gate, they found that the guard was lying dead in the gatehouse, and then they discovered the tragedy of destroying the door. At this time, Gu Cheng had disappeared in the vast sea of people, and there has been no news since then.
