Chapter 649: Object of Suspicion
Lebezovsky went straight to Belinsko.
In fact, strictly speaking, Lebezovsky and Belinsko had a good relationship, they both belonged to the civilian clique, and both had a lot in common in terms of political orientation and in the struggle against the military attache clique.
Therefore, it was normal for Lebezovsky to go to Belinsko, there was no ideological burden at all, because they were friends, but this time, Lebezovsky wanted to say something very unusual to Belinsky.
Belinsko was also very surprised to see Lebezovsky's visit, usually, they mostly interacted with each other in the court or on official affairs, and as for private affairs, they rarely interacted, let alone such personal visits.
In other words, when Lebezovsky suddenly came to visit, there must be something important, and Belinsko dared to slack off, and enthusiastically invited the old prime minister into the house, and then, the two sat down as guests and hosts, and after a slight cold noise, Lebezovsky went straight to the point.
"Belin, I'm here today because I have something important to ask you." Lebezovsky stared into Belinsko's eyes and said with a smile.
Belin is Belinsko's nickname, as long as people who are familiar with it are usually called so.
When Belinsko heard that the old prime minister had something important to discuss with him, he quickly sat up straight and said solemnly: "Your Excellency the Prime Minister, please speak." ”
Belinsko saw that although the old prime minister was smiling, his tone was strict, and he knew that this was not a trivial matter, he couldn't help but be a little apprehensive, and he was secretly guessing the purpose of the old prime minister's visit.
"I heard that you have a pocket watch in hand, which is very precious, can you lend me a look?" Lebezovsky said with a smile still on his face.
He said it casually, as if it were gossip, and people were not the slightest wary.
And he just said that he wanted to see it, but he didn't say why he wanted to see it. But he is the prime minister, and if he says he wants to see, who can refuse to his face, I'm afraid even Belinsko, he will not refuse.
And Belinsko couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he saw that the old prime minister just said that he wanted to see the pocket watch. He thought there was something big, but he knew that it was just such a small thing, which made him nervous for a while, but when he turned his head and thought about it, no, not many people knew that he had this pocket watch, but how did the old prime minister know. Besides, how could he want to see a pocket watch for no reason.
He couldn't help but be a little puzzled, but after thinking about it carefully, he immediately came to his senses and vaguely understood the prime minister's intentions.
And thinking of this, he couldn't help but chuckle in his heart, knowing that something was broken, I was afraid that something was going to happen.
Although he was not at fault of his own. But the bad thing is that he has one thing at hand, and Huaibi is a mistake. Of course, he knew that Lebezovsky was investigating the murder, and Zhukov was arrested because the deceased had a pocket watch that Zhukov had with him, and now that the Prime Minister came to ask about the pocket watch, it must be related to the murder.
However, how can his pocket watch be related to the murder.
Belinskobai was puzzled.
And it is based on this. He couldn't help but hesitate a little, he thought, if it was a murder, he would have to think carefully about whether he wanted to take out this pocket watch. What will happen if he takes it out, what will happen if he doesn't take it out, and whether he takes it out or not, his first thing on his mind now is what will be beneficial to Gutavov.
All of them put the interests of Gutavov first.
So, Belinsko needs to think about it.
In fact, Lebezovsky came here to confirm the existence of the pocket watch, and there was nothing too complicated about it, and besides, it was originally a simple question, but now Belinsko's analysis complicates the problem.
Therefore, as long as this matter involves the issue of interests, people's hearts will not be simple.
"Prime Minister, I wonder why you borrowed this pocket watch...... Don't get me wrong, I'm just a little curious, and if you don't know it, that's okay. Belinsko pretended to be embarrassed.
He had to make a judgment in his favor, and he did not believe that Lebezovsky, who had always had little personal contact, would come to his door and ask him such a simple question.
However, the reason why he dared to ask Lebezovsky like this was because he knew that if he asked like this, Lebezovsky would definitely tell a reason, because the pocket watch was his, and even if the prime minister wanted to see it, there must be a reason, after all, he was not a criminal now, and he was not listed as a suspect who needed to be questioned.
While Belinsko was turning his mind, Lebezovsky, who was sitting quietly, had also been paying attention to the subtle changes in Belinsky's body, especially when Belinsko said this, Lebezovsky's mind turned around, and he understood a little, and between his words and expressions, he had already estimated Belinsko's inner thoughts, and he couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
This man's heart!
The old prime minister was a little emotional.
However, Lebezovsky's heart was frank and open, and he felt that what he had done was nothing to be disgraced, so he did not hide it at all, and said bluntly: "Belin, you know that I am investigating the murder that happened at the last drinking party, and now I am at a critical point, but I don't understand a few things, especially about the pocket watch, I thought about it, and suddenly remembered that you seem to have such a watch, so I want to see if this pocket watch in your hand is similar to the one on the body of the deceased at the drinking party, So that I can make the right judgment, do you think there is something wrong with this? ”
Lebezovsky's words were clever, but also a bit soft, and he was sure that Belinsky would understand what he meant.
When Belinsko heard this, the doubts in his heart were suddenly resolved, this was exactly what he expected, the old prime minister really came for the murder, but why just look at his pocket watch, what does that watch have to do with this case.
Belinsko's mind turned away again.
In this way, the pocket watch involved in the murder is extremely similar to the one in his hand, and if he does not take it out at this time, it is very likely that Lebezovsky will have reason to suspect the provenance of his pocket watch, and it is even very likely that he will be suspected of his head, and it is even possible that the people behind him will be involved.
If that's the case, then it's a big problem.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat on his head, it was too dangerous. One thought is wrong, the problem is very big, fortunately he has more eyes and asks one more question, otherwise, I really don't know what he will do.
It's good now. It is already clear that the only thing he has to do is to take out his pocket watch and let the prime minister take a look, so as to prove his innocence and the innocence of those related to him.
It was so dangerous, he was still glad in his heart, and almost caused unnecessary trouble for Gutavov.
So, Belinsko quickly showed a smile on his face and said, "Prime Minister." Don't get me wrong, I'm just talking, I'll get it if I want to, and I'll get it right away. ”
Belinsko asked Lebezovsky to sit down for a moment, then he hurried up and went to get the pocket watch, which both of them cared about.
However, he hurried away, but returned sweating profusely.
As soon as he returned. He hurriedly apologized to Lebezovsky: "Your Excellency, look at my memory. I took that pocket watch to be repaired a few days ago, and I'm afraid it will take a while to fix it, so I'm sorry for today, I'm afraid I'm going to have to make the Prime Minister run for nothing, but please rest assured. As soon as the pocket watch is repaired, I will immediately send it to the house for you to see, what do you think? ”
Belinsko's subtext was that the watch was not in the house.
His face was even more apologetic.
And Lebezovsky, who had been waiting for his pocket watch, immediately changed his face when he heard this. He thought to himself, could it be that Belinsko's pocket watch was really missing, it was impossible, and Lebezovsky pondered it for a while.
And when he once again focused his eyes on Belinsko, who looked apologetic, the doubts in his heart were getting stronger and stronger, but he had no evidence to prove that his guess was correct, besides, this is someone else's thing, since the thing is in someone else's hands, and someone else says it is for you, then give it to you, if someone else says not to give it, then you can't do anything.
So, despite his suspicions, Lebezovsky did not immediately express his thoughts, nor did he forcefully demand what to do, he was not stunned, he knew what to deal with in what way and when.
Now, he had to pretend that nothing had happened, leave quietly, and look again.
So Lebezovsky got up to take his leave, and Belinsko, still with an apologetic face, sent him to the door.
Seeing Lebezovsky leave, Belinsko turned around, his face immediately changed, and then a roar sounded in Belinsky's mansion, bastard, hurry up and get the pocket watch back for Lao Tzu.
However, it is not known who he is yelling at, the only thing that is certain is that there must be something wrong with the pocket watch.
When Lebezovsky returned to his house, he also thought about it for a while, and he carefully recalled the situation in Belinsko's house today, and then made a careful analysis, and finally he came to a preliminary judgment that Belinsko's table was probably not that there was something wrong, but that Belinsko was hiding something that should not be hidden.
And what is Belinsko hiding?
He thought of a possibility, but immediately rejected it, but it always kept popping up in his mind and lingering.
Could this be a coincidence?
I don't know, Lebezovsky's head hurts.
The idea was too bold, and he speculated that the watch he had received from the deceased was the same as the one in Belinsky's hand.
Assuming that this idea is true, then the course of the case should be like this, after Zhukov's pocket watch was lost, it actually fell into Belinsky's hands, and then Belinsko killed the maid for a well-known reason, and left the pocket watch on the deceased, so as to blame Zhukov, so as to help Gutahuo ascend to the throne of Tsar.
Lebezovsky was taken aback by this idea, but although this speculation is somewhat bold, it is indeed possible, so it is not ruled out.
Therefore, regardless of whether this inference is valid or not, in the present desperate situation, we should first try to prove in this direction, even if our own inference is wrong, it just excludes such a possibility, and increases the odds of other possibilities to be established.
And as soon as the direction was clear, Lebezovsky immediately moved. (To be continued......)
