Chapter 47: These two are a natural pair
"Do you need to ask? We'll have to find what the sneaky man is looking for before he returns, so that we can have the initiative. ”
Mu Jiaojiao moved her two chopstick legs and walked quickly.
"I tell you, he must have taken advantage of the employment of others. He must have dropped something of value, or something particularly memorable. Otherwise, he wouldn't have risked coming back. ”
With that, the two of them had arrived at the place.
Mu Jiaojiao glanced at the scene, "The fire is burning from the side of the livestock shed, you start from the northwest corner of the yard and look for the middle, and I start from the southeast corner." That person searched around and didn't find it, the thing must have fallen into some gap or corner, if you look carefully, we will definitely find it. ”
"Okay!" Jiang Zhilian rolled up her sleeves and bent down, her eyes hadn't finished sweeping the square meter in front of her, only to hear Mu Jiaojiao on the opposite side yelling: "Oh yes! I found it! ”
Jiang Zhilian blinked, isn't this speed too mysterious?
"What did you find?" She didn't even know what she was looking for, and thought it would take at least a few hours to figure it out.
Unexpectedly, the powerful little friend ended the treasure hunt in one second.
Mu Jiaojiao jumped three feet high and ran in front of Jiang Zhilian, spread her hands, and there was a black thing the size of a kidney bean lying on it.
Jiang Zhilian looked left and right, but didn't see any mystery, "Isn't this just a burnt stone?" ”
Mu Jiaojiao stretched out her index finger and shook it, "No, no, this is the treasure that the arsonist is looking for." ”
Jiang Zhilian: "Huh? ”
"Look at it! Phew......" Mu Jiaojiao proudly spat two mouthfuls into the palm of her hand, took out a handkerchief and carefully wiped the black bump.
Jiang Zhilian's brows jumped.
Girl, there's a well behind you, so you don't need to saliva......
Obviously she looks like a glamorous little fairy, but who would have thought that she would have an unruly rough man living in her bones!
In the blink of an eye, an emerald green Guanyin jade pendant changed out of the handkerchief.
Jiang Zhilian was dumbfounded, "Little aunt, how did you tell from the black appearance just now that it was actually a jade pendant?" ”
This is simply the female version of Sherlock Holmes of the 80s!
Mu Jiaojiao smiled, and said, "Look hard!" ”
Jiang Zhilian: "......"
Forgive her for a red heart that doesn't have the ability to scan perspective.
"Just kidding, I have good eyes and can see details that ordinary people can't see." Mu Jiaojiao stuffed the jade pendant into Jiang Zhilian's hand, "My task is complete!" Now it's up to you. I'm going back to accompany my man, and after being separated for so long, he should be lonely to the point of emptiness. ”
"......" Jiang Zhilian glanced at her watch, they didn't even come out for five minutes, so they were lonely and empty?
These two are really a natural pair.
"Thank you, auntie!" Jiang Zhilian turned her head and saw that the person had already run away.
"You're welcome." Mu Jiaojiao's voice came from Meng Qing's house, "Call me at any time if you have something, you don't need to see outside." ”
……
In the second half of the night, Jiang Zhilian hid in the dark and waited for the rabbit.
At half past two in the morning, a shadow suddenly appeared in her field of vision.
This person bent over and hunched his back, walked two steps, and looked around in a circle, back and forth, left and right, very cautious, and extremely vigilant.
He walked into the rubble and began to search for it.
Jiang Zhilian quietly observed him for more than ten minutes, until beads of sweat appeared on his forehead and he grabbed his hair impatiently, then got up and walked slowly towards him.
"You're looking for this?" Jiang Zhilian strung a rope for the jade pendant, she pinched the corner of the red rope, and scrubbed the clean Guanyin jade pendant, gently swaying under the bright moonlight, reflecting a trace of warm shimmer.
"You give it to me!" The other party lowered the brim of his hat to cover his eyes and nose, and Jiang Zhilian only saw the three hairs on his mole fluttering in the wind.
Jiang Zhilian: "This is yours?" ”
"Mine, give it to me!" The man's voice was hoarse, like a broken ground-glass window, and it made people's hearts furious.
"How can your stuff be in my yard?" Jiang Zhilian took a step back, just in case he suddenly pounced on him and grabbed it alive.
"When I came to pick up waste, I accidentally dropped it, you give it back to me!" The man was a little breathless, and took a few steps forward, trying to snatch the jade pendant from Jiang Zhilian's hand.
"Don't worry." Jiang Zhilian dodged, walked quickly to the well, and threatened: "You stand in place, if you move, I will throw the jade pendant into the well." ”
The man was anxious, "Don't throw it!" I'll listen to you for everything, as long as you give me back your things. ”
"This jade pendant is important to you?" Jiang Zhilian sat on the edge of the well, shaking the red rope strung with a jade pendant.
"Important! Especially important! The man stared at the jade pendant in Jiang Zhilian's hand for a moment, and his heart followed the ups and downs of the jade pendant, almost suffocating.
Jiang Zhilian: "What's your name?" ”
"Zhu Chengcai."
Burst...... Jiang Zhilian couldn't help but laugh and asked, "Which one?" ”
The man paused, not knowing which word to use to explain.
Jiang Zhilian: "Genius? ”
"Well......" Zhu Chengcai nodded, he had no intention of chatting, only thinking about his precious jade pendant, "Be careful, don't get rid of me." ”
"How much your parents have to hope that their son will be Jackie Chan to give you such a name. Tell me about you, it's too uncompetitive! How much benefit can I gain by doing such an immoral thing as arson for others? Have you had a hundred bucks? ”
Jiang Zhilian sighed exaggeratedly, "Hey...... What a disappointment your parents would have been if they knew! ”
"I don't have a mom or dad." Zhu Chengcai's voice trembled, looking a little excited.
Jiang Zhilian's hand paused, "Huh? ”
"As soon as I was born, I was thrown into the wasteland and almost taken by a wolf. It was my mother-in-law who saved me and raised me. The name was given to me by her, and this jade pendant was also given to me by her, I heard that it is an heirloom treasure......" Zhu Chengcai's lips trembled, and his voice trembled. Halfway through the words, the emotions seemed to be overflowing to the point that they couldn't bear it, so they couldn't pick up the next words for half a day.
Jiang Zhilian waited quietly for him to calm down, and did not ask any more questions.
She was going to give him a chance to confess.
Zhu Chengcai did not disappoint, he pulled the brim of his hat up, revealing his whole face, looked at Jiang Zhilian, and asked, "I will explain everything, can you return the jade pendant to me?" ”
Jiang Zhilian raised her eyebrows, "Then it depends on whether you explain thoroughly or not, it's really insincere." ”
Zhu Chengcai lowered his head and found a flat board to sit down.
Maybe Jiang Zhilian's reaction and the signals released made him feel a certain sense of security, so the whole person relaxed a lot.
"My mother-in-law always had a stomachache and struggled for a long time, and started vomiting blood a while ago. We didn't have the money to go to the hospital, so we just looked for a little Langzhong, who said that there might be a tumor in his stomach and he had to go to the hospital to cut it off. If you don't cut, you won't be able to live......"
Hey, it's miserable, it's miserable.
Jiang Zhilian didn't want to hear it anymore, the rest was nothing more than to make life-saving money, and she was willing to do anything to kill people and make money.
If this story is true, then he is indeed a filial son who knows how to repay his kindness, but at the same time, he is also a criminal with conclusive evidence.
A yard is a yard and cannot be confused.
No amount of purpose or motive can change the fact of committing a crime.
Jiang Zhilian interrupted him and asked, "Who is the person who asked you to set the fire?" ”
Zhu Chengcai was stunned for a moment, and seemed to be trying to recall, "A girl, carrying a schoolbag, may still be a student." I don't know what it's called, but the people around her seem to call her Yanyan. ”
It's Jiang Yan again!
Jiang Zhilian smiled helplessly, this person really doesn't shed tears if he doesn't enter the coffin.
I still didn't have a lesson in place last time, and I don't have a long memory, but I forgot the pain after the scar.
Jiang Zhilian: "Did she give you money?" ”
Zhu Chengcai shook his head, "No." ”
"It's been a few days since the fire was put off, and she hasn't paid yet?" Jiang Zhilian sneered: "Is it because you didn't burn me to death, so you're not satisfied?" ”
Zhu Chengcai hurriedly explained, "No, she said that she just burned the house." ”
Jiang Zhilian wanted to roll her eyes, "Big brother, don't you feel cheated?" ”
Zhu Chengcai: "...... She said she would give the money when things settled down. ”
Jiang Zhilian: "Are you stupid?!" Isn't this money for your mother-in-law's medical treatment, and your mother-in-law can wait so long? ”
