All of Schikov's performances were in Lebezovsky's eyes, and his preconceived statements made the old prime minister even more suspicious, which undoubtedly deepened the old prime minister's suspicions about him.

In this way, although the old prime minister could not be sure whether Schikov had anything to do with the Zhukov case, he indirectly affirmed one point, that is, there must be something wrong with Schikov.

"Oh, General Schi is too worried, I just asked casually, from Belinsko, I already know the whereabouts of the pocket watch, today I came, mainly to thank the general, thank the general for his righteousness, if it wasn't for the general's telling, how would I know the whereabouts of the pocket watch, so as to know the truth, thank you." Lebezovsky clenched his fists and laughed.

Listening to him, he is here today to thank Zhukov.

However, there was a mystery in his words, he did not explain the ins and outs of Belinsko's pocket watch very clearly, but only brushed it off, and also made some foreshadowing, in a word, he was still testing Schikov to see if he could get more useful information from his words.

However, it must be said that the matter of this pocket watch has nothing to do with the progress of the case, and he is not a case officer, so there is no need for Lebezovsky to explain it to him, and there must be a purpose in understatement.

"Your Excellency, this is what I should do." Schikov said carefully.

He has already been fooled once, and he can't go on it again, although he has a lot of doubts in his heart, but curiosity comes at a price, and it is better for him to know a little less, and it is better to know a little.

The truth that too many words will be lost, Schikov is deeply aware of it at this moment.

And as soon as Lebezovsky heard this, he knew that Schikov had raised his vigilance and would no longer fall for him, since this was the case. Then he had to change slightly, from this kind of side-knocking temptation to a direct attack that knocked on the mountain and shook the tiger.

He had made up his mind to squeeze something useful out of Schikov today, no matter what.

And a battle of hearts and wits is inevitable.

"General Siqi is not a pillar of the country, this is the luck of His Majesty, but also the luck of the empire. However, I still have something unclear about, and I want to ask the general, but I don't know why the general taught me? Lebezovsky asked, admiring.

Lebezovsky said he would do it, and he immediately began to take the initiative.

"My lord is serious, and I am willing to serve my lord." Schikov said respectfully.

In the face of the old prime minister's step-by-step approach, Schikov could only take steps and block step by step.

"As far as I know. Not many people know about Belinsko's pocket watch, where did the general learn about it? Lebezovsky asked his question.

This is really a new question, how can outsiders know about such a secret and private matter except the person concerned, is it speculation and nonsense. Otherwise, there is little justification for such illogical reasons.

Schikov really needs to give a reasonable explanation.

"Your Excellency. Belinsko was drunken and accidentally revealed this to me, and he took out the watch to me on the spot, so I dared to mention it to the Prime Minister, and asked him to find out. "Schikov said very calmly.

This is a valid reason. There are no flaws.

And whether there is such a thing, it will be known at a check, but Lebezovsky is confident that in front of him, Schikov will not dare to tell a lie. I'm afraid that's the case.

And Lebezovsky asked this, of course, he would not ask anything he wanted to know, this point, he knew very well, but he had to ask, as long as he asked, he could catch a trace in the process of asking, some things, that were discovered without a trace, and some things were also unintentionally manifested.

The Lebezovskys were old, but not confused, and even older and stronger.

He wants to create such an opportunity to expose these people and things that were originally hidden under the surface to the sun.

In this way, he can act cheaply.

"Oh, understand, understand very much, General Siqi is upright, loyal to the empire, loyal to His Majesty, this is well known, please don't think about it, general." Lebezovsky laughed.

On the scene, Lebezovsky still had to do a full job.

"Lord Xie has an overreputation, I really don't dare to be so praised by adults." Schikov humbly conceded.

People put gold on your face, you can't really look at it as gold, people are valuable in self-knowledge, Schikov's heart is like a mirror, of course he knows that this is just a face, and it can't be taken seriously.

"Alright, General Schi, this pocket watch is over, but I still have one more thing to ask." Lebezovsky brushed a lock of short whiskers from his mouth and continued.

He didn't take this opportunity to finish all the questions he wanted to ask, so when.

And Schikov originally thought that the exam was over, who wanted to come, he really wanted to scold his mother.

However, this scolding is okay, you can't really scold it in person, the prime minister is the prime minister after all, and he still represents the tsar, so it's not something he can offend casually.

Schikov still had to reply patiently and earnestly.

"Adults don't have to be polite, I know everything, and I can't say anything." Schikov smiled, his tone was calm, he tried to put his body in a suitable position, and then said.

At this moment, today, he can only sacrifice his life to accompany the gentleman.

And Lebezovsky was a little hesitant by Schikov's cheerfulness, he felt that he had made a mistake in his judgment, and that it was possible that someone like Schikov would be involved in this murder?

It's really a bit unclear.

However, his hesitation lasted for a moment, and then he was interrupted by reason, he was here to find clues to solve the case, and he couldn't change his original intention because of a few words from Schikov, which was obviously wrong.

So, Lebezovsky straightened his mind and decided to continue the pursuit until he got the result he wanted.

"Okay, then thank General Siqi first." Lebezovsky tract.

He really wanted to thank Schikov for his cooperation.

"Your Excellency, please!" Schikov said.

He was ready to be questioned.

"What is the relationship between the general and General Zhukov?" Lebezovsky asked casually.

He had to start with the easiest topic and go deeper, and after paralyzing the other person's spirit with simple questions, he had a chance.

"Not bad." Schikov replied briefly.

If it is pulled on Zhukov's head, it must not be a good thing, and Schikov has to be careful.

"What does it mean to be good, good or bad?" Lebezovsky asked.

He wasn't going to let Schikov go like that, he wanted to know how good it was.

There is often a word difference, and the difference is very big, and he also asked clearly.

"There is the friendship of colleagues, but there is no righteousness of friends." Schikov said calmly.

This sentence is more concise, but the relationship between the two is clear.

It means that they have a relationship, but to put it bluntly, it is only a little relationship.

He thinks that he is clean and self-conscious, and never forms gangs, so he can speak conclusively without the slightest suspicion of pretentiousness.

He was telling the truth, the big truth.

And for this, Lebezovsky also affirmed.

So, he nodded and couldn't help but praise: "The general's reputation is known to all dynasties, and I admire it very much." ”

He said this from the bottom of his heart.

The population of Schikov is indeed commendable.

"My lord is overrated, I'm just doing what I have to do." Schikov is quite authentic.

Although he heard a lot of such words, he was praised by a person of such status and status as Lebezovsky, and he still felt extremely happy in his heart.

Of course, this is just an interlude, just gossip, and then it is still necessary to get to the point.

Lebezovsky finished praising Schikov, and then said with a straight face: "The general can be said to be a person close to General Zhukov, and recently, has the general noticed anything unusual about General Zhukov?" ”

He had to get as clear as he could about the details.

"No, General Zhu is doing everything as usual, and there is nothing wrong with it." Schikov thought for a moment and said.

Although he felt a little that Zhukov was resentful, he could not casually express his personal opinion until everything was clear, which was not in line with his principles of doing things and did not conform to his personal interests.

In short, just tell the truth.

"During this period of time, has General Zhu had any unusual contact with some people he doesn't know?" The old prime minister still asked very earnestly.

If he should ask, he must ask.

Otherwise, how to solve the case.

"I don't know this, he is under my command in official affairs, but in private affairs, I don't know much." Schikov shook his head and said.

He is not a voyeur, it is not his hobby to understand other people's privacy, not to mention, Zhukov is the crown prince and is courting him, how can he take the initiative to get up again, he is too late to hide.

And what he said was leaky and close to the truth, and Lebezovsky couldn't find any flaws.

Between the two answers, before they knew it, more than an hour had passed, and Lebezovsky did not return any information related to the case that would have the value of solving the case.

And all this seems to indicate that the case does not seem to have anything to do with Schikov. (To be continued......)
