Zhang Yan was drunk for at least eight of the ten days, and if he was sick, he was even more paralyzed in bed and couldn't move, and he couldn't remember whether his daughter had gone out on any day.

As for Zhang Yiling, he only said that Deng Yu had indeed been there that day, but without saying a few words in front of his father's bed, Deng Yu went elsewhere with his sister - and he had been taking care of him in his father's room, and later fell asleep, and when he was scolded and woke up by his father, it was already dark.

Cheng Ran was very surprised by this.

To tell the truth, in cases like this, some of the suspect's family members he has seen have lied very realistically, and some of them have loopholes in and out of their words, but they have never seen one that tells the truth clearly, but it can also make people unable to find the slightest clue......

It is rare to be absurd and degenerate to such an extent, not to mention that he met father and son once.

Come to think of it, that Zhang Meiyan also expected that this would be the case, so she dared to let Deng Yu commit perjury for her.

"I know. I thought maybe I could find other clues in him. Zhang Luan said.

"Then why didn't you go to see it?" Even though Song didn't want her husband to have anything to do with Zhang Yan anymore, she still asked puzzled at this time.

Zhang Luan sighed heavily.

"I was there...... But as soon as he got out of the carriage, he saw him staggering along, carrying a wine bag in his hand. When I met a half-grown child, I went up and kicked someone else's child - but guess what happened? ”

Song frowned.

She had already faintly heard that Zhang Yan was now drunk and gambling, and his temperament was very gloomy, but she was afraid that she was not far from madness.

"You went up and stopped you?" Song asked.

"Where can I stop him, the boy turned upside down and kicked him over. I looked at him for a long time before I saw him get up. ”

Song was speechless for a while.

It's useless and cheap, and it's a shame that I can live until now because the security in the capital is good.

"I thought, let's forget it...... Don't wait for me to get close by then, and before I say anything, he will have something to do with me, so that I can't tell if it gets out. ”

After all, he has a lot of experience in being falsely accused.

And being defrauded of some money is still a trivial matter, the key is because of this case, and now it is a time for discussion outside. If there is any more trouble between him and Zhang Yan at this time, I am afraid that it will bring more trouble.

"It's also ......," Song said helplessly: "Don't lose a big one because of a small one." ”

"Wait, I'm looking for clues everywhere, and I can always find out." Zhang Luan said.

Song sighed.

"I'm not in a hurry about this, I already have a rough idea of who did it, so I need to be more vigilant. I'm more worried about Chi'er now—"

She thought that the child's body was so weak, maybe she would not be able to bear it on the first day and be sent out.

But a few days have passed, and now they have started to take the second exam.

"Don't worry too much, Chi'er is a measured child. And there's no news coming out, isn't that the best news?" Zhang Luan said: "Otherwise, tomorrow I will ask someone to inquire?" ”

Song nodded.

"It's okay, it always makes people have a bottom in their hearts."

Zhang Luan smiled and sighed, hugging his wife tighter.

After a while, Song suddenly felt a chill on his forehead.

She raised her hand and touched it, but it was wet and cold.

Extrapolating from experience, this should be the husband's tears.

"What are you crying about?" Song asked with a frown.

This person looks at Wei An from the outside and has responsibility, why is he crying at every turn in front of her?

"How can I Zhang Luan, how can I marry Qin Niang as my wife......" Zhang Luan's voice was hoarse and moving.

In the past, he never dared to think that Qin Niang could do this.

Qin Niang is gradually seeing Chi'er as her own child-

"I know, you're all doing this for me......" Zhang Luan choked and sighed, and took his chin off against the top of his wife's head.

"It's Chi'er who is sensible and competitive, and likable...... What does it have to do with you? ”

Song felt the need to explain.

Zhang Luan's tears stopped.

He inexplicably felt that his wife's words didn't look like a joke, what was going on?

……

The next day, Zhu Youzhu confirmed in advance that Zhang Luan did not take a break or leave, and then went to Beijing to see Cheng Ran.

As Cheng Ran expected, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince came precisely for the case he is in hand now.

It's just that whether it is the meaning of the prince or the emperor, he is not sure for the time being.

What the? The emperor doesn't care about these things at all?

Hehe, what if the emperor wants to listen to gossip to relieve boredom?

Cheng Ran told Zhu Youzhu what he had gained in recent days.

"Even in and around that Zhuangzi, no suspicious objects were found?" After listening to this, Zhu Youzhu asked.

"So far, it seems."

"Lord Cheng can order someone to leave a list of fine things?"

The so-called detailed list is to secretly record the searched items in a detailed book when searching for evidence, so that they can be repeatedly checked afterwards.

However, this is an unwritten method in handling cases, and because it is time-consuming and laborious, few people know about it...... How did His Highness know?

I heard that His Royal Highness had the ability to help His Majesty relieve his worries at a young age, and he should have boasted-

Now it seems that there may not be a falsehood.

"That's what I kept." Unconsciously, Cheng Ran's tone became more and more respectful.

"Can you give me a look?"

Cheng Ran immediately asked people to take it.

Because there are only three of them in the Zhuangzi where Zhang Yan's family lives, and all the things that can be sold have already been sold, this transcribed list of fine things is not too cumbersome.

The young man held the long slip in his hand, his expression was focused, and his eyes moved slowly.

Cheng Ran also quietly looked at the young man, seeing the subtle changes in the young man's expression.

The more he looked at it, the more surprised he felt in his heart.

His Royal Highness doesn't seem to be pretending to understand, and he doesn't know how to pretend to understand. On the contrary, it seems unusually stable and handy.

A quarter of an hour passed quickly, and Cheng Ran noticed something unusual.

According to his observation, if His Highness was thinking, his gaze would stop for a while, but this time, His Highness's gaze stayed on one place for a long time-

"Childe did you see something wrong?"

He hurriedly asked.

"Twelve pairs of medicines?" Zhu Youzhu pointed to the previous place and asked, "Do you know why so many medicinal materials are stored at home?" ”

"I once inquired, saying that his father Zhang Yan had an old illness and could not take medicine, so he always had it at home." Cheng Ran replied.

"Can you check it?"

"I've seen it, it's all ordinary medicinal materials, and there's nothing out of the ordinary."

He will not miss such details. But at this time, listening to His Royal Highness's question, Master Cheng couldn't help but feel that the young man in front of him was thoughtful.

He's lived most of his life to accumulate these experiences. But His Highness is still in the age of childishness, and it is really amazing that he can have such insight.

"Do you know what kind of medicine is it used to cure any disease?"

Master Cheng thought for a while and said, "I know how to test injuries and drugs, and I can roughly know that they are some warm and tonic medicinal materials. ”

Zhu Youzhu nodded.

"To be able to find out so meticulously, Master Cheng has bothered."

Cheng Ran shook his head, revealing a look of shame.

Zhu Youzhu closed the list of fine things, looked at Cheng Ran, and asked, "Master Cheng, do you know that there is another use for this list of fine things?"

"Oh?" Cheng Ran looked slightly confused: "Son, please speak-"

He vaguely felt that His Highness, who seemed to be calm, seemed to have sensed something.
