Chapter 194: No matter how big or small
"It's still a wise man." After saying this sentence like a sycophant, Yu Linglong said business.
He just went to the houses near Li Zhang's house with the White Dragon Envoy, found a few families, and asked about it, all of whom were not very familiar with Li Zhang, but his mouth was average.
Li Zhang did not marry a wife, only lived alone, a few years ago his old mother died of illness, he became a lonely person, from that time on, he became even more different from before.
Before, he was a little withdrawn at most, but after that, he began to be a little irritable, a little uncomfortable, or a collision between neighbors, he would make a big fuss, and after a few troubles, they didn't interact with him.
However, this Li Zhang has a hobby that is gambling, but the neighborhood is also strange, and he didn't see what he did in the past, but he always had silver flowers.
This should be the only suspicious point that Yu Linglong found, but Zhen Chutian caught what he said that Li Zhang did not marry.
And according to Yu Linglong's words, they didn't see any woman entering or leaving this courtyard, so the woman must have crept in.
This is the biggest flaw, and it is also their only clue, as long as the woman is found, it is estimated that the murderer will be caught, but where is this woman found now?
It was as if all the clues were broken.
Zhen Chutian fell into frustration, and so did Gu Chenghan.
After finding nothing, the group returned to the Prime Minister's Mansion.
Seeing that those maids were busy, Zhen Chutian suddenly thought of something, Li Zhang is Mrs. Lan's cousin, so will she know more?
It was a smile that flashed on Zhen Chutian's face.
"Why are you still smiling?" Gu Chenghan rolled his eyes and saw Zhen Chutian's smile.
Her breeze-like smile, although it was inadvertent, made people feel a little relaxed and happy.
Gu Chenghan's somewhat irritable mood was also soothed a lot by Zhen Chutian's smile.
"Mrs. Lan." Zhen Chutian snapped his index finger and thumb, and then went straight to Mrs. Lan's courtyard.
This action was made by Zhen Chutian to make a heroic feeling, Nan Hong looked at her back with admiration on her face at this time, "When will I be able to judge the case like Chu Tian?" ”
"Miss Nan, what do you have to learn!"
Nan Hong, who was said by Yu Linglong, was a little disappointed, and looked at him aggrievedly, "I still have a lot of time left and right, I will definitely be able to learn, I will investigate and judge the case with you in the future, I still don't believe it, why am I also Saihuatuo's apprentice now." ”
"Miss Nan, is Saihuatuo really so powerful?" The White Dragon Envoy had long heard of Sai Huatuo's reputation, and now that he heard it again, he really wanted to know a thing or two.
Speaking of his master Nan Hong, he had endless words, and at this time, he came to the side with the white dragon envoy, and the two began to talk endlessly.
Yu Linglong and Han Shuangyi suddenly had a feeling of being abandoned, and the big and small people glanced at each other.
"Why don't you go with me to Brother Song Jiang, and let's go study the corpse?" Han Shuangyi looked at Yu Linglong innocently.
Thinking that there was nothing to do at this time, Yu Linglong agreed directly.
At this time, Zhen Chutian and Gu Chenghan had already come to Mrs. Lan's courtyard, but as soon as they arrived at the gate of the courtyard, they were stopped by the maid, and the little maid looked at him with a shocked look on his face, "Two adults, this is?" ”
"What, what's wrong with you Mrs. Lan?" Zhen Chutian naturally saw the dodge in the maid's eyes, which was obviously deliberately blocked.
They had no contact with Mrs. Lan in the past, and now that the maid is blocking it, Mrs. Lan has some ulterior secrets that she doesn't want to be known.
"No, no, it's just that my wife has just become pregnant, so this will be resting, the slave maid thought that if the two adults were fine, then ......" The maid was shocked by Zhen Chutian's cold aura, and swallowed back the words in the back.
"That's really unfortunate, you better wake up your wife, it's really important for Master Gu to come over today." Zhen Chutian looked at the maid in a chic manner.
It's not easy to say anything else with the maid, after all, the old lady has sent someone to spread the word before, and she must cooperate with the people of Tiandu Mansion to investigate the case.
When the maid went in to call Mrs. Lan, Zhen Chutian used a voice that only Gu Chenghan could hear beside him, "Do you think that Mrs. Lan would have known that Li Zhang was dead?" ”
"I agree." Due to the fact that there were still maids around, Gu Chenghan only replied softly at this time, and there was no change in expression on his face.
Although Gu Chenghan and Zhen Chutian did not study the case too much during this time, the tacit understanding between the two of them became more and more self-evident.
This feeling made Gu Chenghan more and more reluctant to leave Zhen Chutian, and he didn't even dare to think that if she really returned to Fulai County that day, wouldn't it be very troublesome for him to supervise other cases in the capital alone.
Thinking so, Mrs. Lan also walked out with the support of the maid.
After a while, Zhen Chutian saw that Mrs. Lan's little face was a little pale, and she looked bloodless, wasn't she pregnant? Why are you so inattentive to your body?
Zhen Chutian couldn't help but look at Mrs. Lan suspiciously, seeing that she could fall to the ground as soon as the wind blew, right?
After thinking about it, Mrs. Lan had already come to the two of them and coughed lightly, "Why did the two adults come to my courtyard today, but they caught the murderer who killed my husband?" ”
She looks more haggard today than she did that day, but she doesn't seem to care so much about the death of the prime minister's son-in-law.
It's just that Zhen Chutian didn't know how to come up with such an idea.
After that, Mrs. Lan coughed with difficulty again, and her little face was even more twisted together, and the white color made outsiders feel a little distressed when they saw it.
At this time, Zhen Chutian hid the worry on her face, she felt pity for being a woman, but this was not the time to be emotional.
The maid saw that Mrs. Lan was so nervous, you must know that the old lady has told her that this period of time is the most critical moment for the fetus, and it is necessary to ensure that the lady is well, can give birth smoothly, and add a man and a woman to the prime minister, which can be regarded as a successor.
Knowing that the old lady attached great importance to this child, the maid frowned and looked at Mrs. Lan worriedly, "Madam, how are you, is there anything uncomfortable, or the slave maid will go to ask for a doctor." ”
"Don't panic, it's just that I've occasionally felt cold in the past few days, don't worry so much, if something really happens to me, I will also tell the old lady that I am not careful, and I will definitely not implicate you." This Mrs. Lan saw things thoroughly and knew that the maid didn't really care.
As soon as these words came out, the maid was a little uncomfortable, and looked at her embarrassedly, "Madam, what are you talking about, I ......"
"Alright, my lord is still here." Mrs. Lan didn't give the maid a chance to explain, and turned her head directly to look at Gu Chenghan, "My lord, I'm smiling." ”
"It's okay, Mrs. Lan, we want to ask about Li Zhang today." Gu Chenghan was afraid that Mrs. Lan would faint after a while, so that he could quickly enter the theme of today's arrival.
Li Zhang?
Zhen Chutian had been staring at Mrs. Lan, and when she saw that Gu Chenghan had just finished saying Li Zhang's name, she shook her body, her eyes turned, and she rubbed her hands in a panic, and then looked at Gu Chenghan with a little calmness, "My lord, what's wrong with my cousin?" He used to just like to gamble, and he didn't have any other hobbies, so he shouldn't cause any big trouble, right? ”
Mrs. Lan looked at Gu Chenghan very nervously.
"What is the relationship between Mrs. Lan and Li Zhang?" Seeing that Mrs. Lan was so nervous, and she knew to explain a thing or two for him, she must have had a lot of contact in the past.
"Well, there is no one in my mother's family, only this cousin, although he has no ability, but he is very good to my cousin, if I am wronged, he will definitely stand for me......"
talked about some of the two of his sisters, but also explained the past.
It's just that Mrs. Lan's words of avoiding the important and trivializing them made Zhen Chutian and Gu Chenghan fall into suspicion.
"Li Zhang is dead."
"What?"
Gu Chenghan said these words lightly, but Mrs. Lan got up suddenly, completely in disbelief.
So much so that she got up too violently, and she stumbled and fell directly to the ground.
The maid didn't react, and when she saw it, Mrs. Lan was already paralyzed on the ground, "Madam, Madam, what's wrong with you?" ”
"No, it's fine." Mrs. Lan trembled and asked the maid to help her up, and then looked at Gu Chenghan with tears on her face, "My lord, what did you just say?" ”
"How long has it been since you've seen Li Zhang?"
"Seven or eight days, the last time I saw my cousin say that he was going to go on a long trip, I didn't say what to do, I haven't seen it since then, and I'm still thinking about letting the maid go to find her these days." Mrs. Lan looked at Gu Chenghan word by word.
"Is my cousin really dead?" Mrs. Lan saw that Gu Chenghan didn't say anything, so she asked.
"Yes, dead."
"How is it possible, although he has a bad temperament, he has never had a grudge against anyone, why was he killed?" Mrs. Lan muttered to herself.
"Mrs. Lan, we just said that Li Zhang died, but we didn't say that he was killed, how can you be sure that he must have been killed?" Zhen Chutian looked at Mrs. Lan aggressively.
Facing Zhen Chutian's seductive black eyes, Mrs. Lan quickly dodged, "Ah, my cousin can't have committed suicide, he is very sorry for his life." ”
"Spare your life?" This made Zhen Chutian smile.
According to the words of the neighbor and Mrs. Lan, Zhen Chutian can conclude that Li Zhang is a money-hungry and lustful person who spares his life, of course, everyone will cherish their own life.
However, Mrs. Lan concluded that Li Zhang did not commit suicide, but Zhen Chutian did not dare to agree, and she was even more afraid to approach when she smiled and did not speak.
"Mrs. Lan still knows something about Li Zhang, no matter how big or small, now in order to find out how he died, we all have to know." Zhen Chutian restrained the doubts on his face and looked at Mrs. Lan with a smile.
Such a Zhen Chutian is like two people with her just now, and Mrs. Lan looked at her suspiciously.
"What's wrong, Mrs. Lan?" Seeing Mrs. Lan staring at herself, Zhen Chutian raised her hand and shook it in front of her eyes.
In this way, Mrs. Lan came back to her senses, looked at Zhen Chutian embarrassedly, and nodded slightly, "My cousin has been with my mother since he was a child, and later after my mother passed away, the two of us depended on each other.
