Chapter 26: The Man in the Painting

"Get out! Get out of hereβ€”why is my son dead! You bunch of shit!! ”

Zang Jintian died, exactly the same as the previous domestic servant's death. When Zhan Suiyu and his party arrived, the yacha who had been guarding Zang's Mansion earlier was already about to be tossed crazy by Wang's hysterical crying and scolding, and they all looked at Zhan Suiyu as if asking for help.

"Childe..."

Wang turned around and broke away from the subordinate who was supporting him, his eyes were cloudy, and he rushed towards Zhan Suiyu with a hideous face.

"Investigate the case, what to say... Find out until now - my son is dead! It's inside! This is the case you are looking into! Don't let that waste get out of the way yet! ”

Liao Zicheng stood in front of Zhan Suiyu, and just wanted to open his mouth to comfort her, asking her to mourn, the government will definitely catch the murderer and give the Zang family an explanation. Zhan Suiyu raised his hand to stop him, stepped forward and said, "The old lady's mood Zhan can be understood, and I am also very sorry that it has developed into this situation." ”

"Regret? Do you regret that my son will survive? I didn't even see the last time he saw him, and now I can't even see his body! He, he, and him! Wang pointed at the catcher who was blocking the door of the study, and said in a vicious voice: "It's my son who died, why did they stop me!" ”

Wang is aggressive, and Liao Zicheng doesn't know what to do. "We can understand your feelings, but it is easy for a layman to destroy the scene when he enters and exits, which is not in accordance with the rules."

He looked back at Zhan Suiyu, and the rest of the catchers stood in place, not doing it, not doing it. What should I do if someone like Wang is an old man?

Damn, it's terrible. If she continues to mess around like this, this case can't be handled!

Just when everyone was hesitating, whispering, and trying to coax people away, Zhan Suiyu turned his eyes with a cold face, and said without a trace of emotion: "Just because we are officials, you are very obstructive here." ”

"What?"

Wang, including those present, was stunned.

Zhan Suiyu has always had no smile in her amorous eyes, her face was calm, and she had the momentum to want to fork her out. "Is it me, or is someone here who killed your son? We are not a nursing home that the Zang family paid for, and we can let you beat and scold. While on duty, someone fished? ”

Looking at Wang, Zhan Sui Yu asked his own people.

"Nope! No! ”

"Childe, we didn't desert, and we weren't lazy!"

It is the government's business to arrest the murderer, and it is also necessary to protect the people. But the world is impermanent, and Zhan Suiyu can't do anything about what he has done his best. But not all sufferers can understand this, especially those like Wang who can't control it and vent their emotions at people when they come up.

In Zhan Suiyu's opinion, the mother-son relationship between Zang Jintian and the Wang family is average, and even a little cold. The sad performance on Wang's face is greater than sincerity, but the nervousness is real. She had just subconsciously looked back into the room, and there was something in the room that made her nervous?

It's a little weird.

Zhan Suiyu looked at the Wang family: "The government investigates the case, and the idle people avoid it." Come on, take the old lady back to the room to rest. In addition, the murderer's whereabouts are unknown, and someone is left outside the door to protect her safety. ”

On the surface, it is protection, but in fact it is surveillance. When Wang found out about this, he pointed at Zhan Sui Yu so angry that he couldn't say a complete sentence: "You, you..."

"If you don't leave, you want to go to prison to rest? That's fine. It's safer. Zhan Suiyu chuckled, raised his hand and asked the Wang family to give way, don't get in the way, and show the image of the bullying brother to the fullest.

"Old Man Zang's bones are not cold, and if the old lady says one more word, he will have to suffer one more sentence in it. Zhan is for the sake of the two of them, why didn't the old lady listen to persuasion? After saying that, he immediately showed a distressed expression, as if his good intentions had been let down.

In the end, Wang was semi-forcibly sent back to the house. Liao Zicheng exhaled, he didn't expect Zhan Suiyu to use such a tough attitude to drive the Wang family back.

Zhan Sui Yu saw that he breathed a sigh of relief, the coldness on his face subsided, and he said with a smile: "Does Liao Zhutou think that I am too unsympathetic?" ”

Liao Zicheng shook his head. If it weren't for Zhan Suiyu, there might be a lot of trouble.

Zhan Suiyu: "Who would want such a result? I have seen this kind of scene a lot, and the pot may not have to be buckled back to my head. Everyone cheered up and didn't let people take advantage of the loopholes. ”

"Yes, Childe!"

Liao Zicheng and Zhan Suiyu entered the scene of the crime together, and he said: "Listening to Gongzi's tone just now, I suddenly remembered Miss Zhang. ”

Qi Ning? Well, to get straight to the point, it's indeed her style to choke people half to death. Don't say it, this trick doesn't just work, it's pretty cool after speaking.

Besides, the people in the yamen seek this errand to support their families, and to put it bluntly, they are ordinary people, who do not have three heads and six arms, and cannot go to heaven and earth.

"Thankfully, no matter what kind of person you are, there is still a yamen when you are in danger."

"What does Childe mean by that?"

"Take Liao Zhutou as an example, with only a little money every month, you can go out of your way to save people. If this kind of thing is not a little righteous or self-sacrificing faith, it will definitely not be possible, although I usually don't say it, but I still have a lot of respect for Brother Liao. ”

Hearing him say this, Liao Zicheng was embarrassed on his face, and touched the back of his head a little stiffly. "Childe praised it falsely, it's just a matter of duty."

"That being said." Zhan Suiyu sighed with his hand: "It's nonsense to indiscriminately put the responsibility on us, and it's not good to make the big guy feel cold." Who is willing to do this business after being scolded miserably? At that time, if something happens to the people, they can only consider themselves unlucky. ”

Liao Zicheng noticed that Zhan Suiyu was talking about us. There are many large and small cases he handled, and it is not the first time I have seen such a scene today.

He also wavered, after all, he was too unpersonal in the mouth of the bitter master. He wasn't so carefree, and he couldn't take those ugly words to heart. Take it to heart, you can't get along with yourself; If you don't take it to heart, you can't look past it. If they are indifferent to the suffering of the victims' families, how can they put themselves in their shoes and handle the case with all their heart? Human nature dictates that I can only live in the middle.

In the end, Zhan Suiyu concluded: "Our people are too bad to cause trouble, and I have to go out in the end." I said that this official authority should still be put on the table, don't let people think that we are easy to bully. Liao Zhutou, you go back and take the lead in training. ”

What to train? Learn how to be an official?

The corners of Liao Zicheng's mouth twitched.

After Zhan Suiyu entered the study, he first swept the inside, the windows were properly closed, and the front door was closed normally when Zang Jintian's body was found.

Zang Jintian sat there with his eyes closed, his back against the back of his chair. With both hands on the armrests, the strangulation marks on the neck were the same as those of the previous six.

The ledger on the case is ajar, and the rest of the people who have finished reading and those who have not finished reading are neatly built on the left and right, and the ground is also clean. There was not the slightest trace of a fight or struggle.

Zhan Suiyu walked over, only to find that a half-unfolded scroll had fallen from Zang Jintian's feet, revealing a corner of the sleeve of the person in the painting.

He picked it up and unfolded it.

The woman in the painting is gentle and gentle, wearing a simple light blue dress, with long seaweed-like hair tied loosely behind her with a hairband of the same color.

The location on this painting is Wuqing River, not far from the city in Suzhou.

"It's so pretty." Liao Zicheng looked at the person on the painting: "Childe, shouldn't the person on this painting be..."

"Zang Jintian's deceased wife, Hu." Seeing Zang Jintian take this painting scroll before, he could recognize it at a glance. And judging from the results of the previous investigation, there will be no portraits of other women in Zang Jintian's room.

This was the last thing Zang Jintian saw. Zhan Sui Yu sighed lightly, closed the painting, and briefly examined Zang Jintian's body.

Slender finger marks, and just like before, the size is much smaller than that of an adult. Although he felt that it was impossible, Zhan Suiyu still couldn't help but think in the direction that the murderer might be a child.

"The Wang family is making trouble outside, why don't the Huang family see anyone?"

Liao Zicheng: "The Huang family fainted with fright when they heard the news, and they haven't recovered yet. ”

"What about Zang Binghua? His father is dead, and he won't come out to show his face? ”

Speaking of Zang Binghua, Liao Zicheng felt a little ridiculous. "He went out drinking with someone last night, and came back at dawn, and now he is still drunk in bed like a puddle of mud, and his mind is not clear. The person who reported was smashed out by him with a pillow, and I guess I haven't reacted to his father until now. ”

Zhan Suiyu chuckled lightly. The mother has another purpose, the wife is cowardly, and the son is drunk and dreaming of death, all of them are like this, who would have thought that this family is even cooler and ridiculous than the outside. As soon as Zang Jintian died, the Zang family was afraid that it would decline from now on.

"What about Zang Chengji's family?"

Liao Zicheng: "I heard that someone reported his life, he tossed all morning, and he wanted to take his wife and daughter away, saying that the dead were not clean and easy to get dirty." ”

He sighed and said bitterly: "Looking young, he doesn't know who is tougher than the Wang family." Our people stopped and didn't dare to move, and he scratched out two flowers on his face.

The brother told me to go back to his house and explain to his daughter-in-law that he didn't come back last night because he was really doing official business and didn't go out to fool around. Childe, what do you tell me about? ”

The world is big, but it's no bigger than the wife and children. Scratching people with his hands is indeed in line with Zang Chengji's urine.

"What about people?"

"He lived in the courtyard before he moved out. Do you want to call him over? ”

"Not yet."

Hearing this, Liao Zicheng breathed a sigh of relief, Zang Chengji moved his hands like a shrew, scratching and biting and scolding and spitting, but fortunately he didn't have to go.

"How's his daughter?"

Liao Zicheng thought that Zhan Suiyu was concerned about whether the child was frightened by this.

"Zang Yingying? In the room, it's fine. Zang Chengji was very tight, and if he didn't let him go out, he would pour mugwort leaves, grapefruit water or something, sprinkled and smoked inside and out, and I struggled to look at it. ”

Zhan Suiyu smiled speechlessly, but I have to say that Zang Chengji is a man who cares about his family except for the nerves that he was abused by his mother the day after tomorrow, which is not a little more successful than Zang Jintian.

His eyes fell on the painting scroll, Wu Qinghe... He had a plan in his mind. "What should the big guy do when they come in, I'll go out, keep an eye on the Wang family, and report any movement immediately."

"Yes."
