Chapter 514: Drunk and Dead?
"What happened to Qian Tianxia's disappearance and death?" Chen Ying's voice rang out.
As soon as he heard this light voice, Pei Shu's tightly blocked chest suddenly relaxed.
He softened his tone, and his voice became a little moist and winey:
"Money from the sky is very greedy. Previously, he lived in the mountains, and he couldn't drink a few sips of wine all year round, but it was fine. Ever since I took him, every time I interrogated him, he would ask for a few glasses of wine. At first I refused to allow it, but then I found that after drinking, he seemed to know better than usual, and sometimes he could talk about the battlefield, so I acquiesced in his drinking, and he always had wine in his house. ”
He shook his head, as if he was a little helpless, but his face became gloomy: "When I went to pick you up today, He Tingzheng suddenly came to report that Qian Tianxia was gone, and I was busy coming back to look for it, but I found his body in a dry well." Later, a night guard reported that in the middle of the night last night, he looked at the old money staggering towards the clean room, and he smelled of wine. Because the dry well was not far from the clean house, and there were not too many wounds on the body of the corpse fished out, it is thought that he was drunk and did not know the way, so he fell into the well and broke his neck. ”
At the end of his words, his expression finally dimmed, and the hand resting on the desk clenched into a fist.
Chen Ying sat silently for a moment, stood up, stretched out his finger and knocked on the desk a few times: "Let's go, go and take a look." ”
Pei Shu looked up sharply.
Although she didn't say it explicitly, he immediately understood her words, and his body reacted, and quickly got up and said, "Lao Qian's corpse is temporarily stored in my yard." ”
Chen Ying nodded, took two steps, and suddenly looked back: "Isn't Lao Chang here?" ”
"He's staying in the capital." Pei Shu raised his hand and pressed the corner of his forehead, looking very tired: "Before coming to Shandong, Cao Zilian said that there was a case that he wanted to help with Lao Chang, and he insisted that I leave people behind." ”
He lowered his face, stepped forward with his long legs, and his face was cold: "These official ruffians are the most difficult, and I don't want to make too much trouble with them, so I agreed to him." ”
At this point, he sighed: "I knew that today, I brought people here." ”
Although people cannot be resurrected after death, there is an old man who is always there, and at least he can verify the cause of death, which can also make things clear.
Chen Ying's eyes were silent, but what he thought in his heart was that he blamed Pei Shu for going and returning, maybe he didn't realize that he actually had doubts about this case, otherwise he wouldn't have asked her to help.
"There are also works in Jinan Mansion, but I can't trust the people here. And I don't want to teach others to know. Pei Shu said again, his deep voice had the coldness of the cold winter of December.
"Of course." Chen Ying said.
Qian Tianxia is a strange soldier, the fewer people in the know, the better, but Shandong is King Kang's lair, it is difficult to say whether there are still nails hidden, it is always too careful.
"Except for the removal of the body from the well, the body was not moved." Pei Shu said again at this time, as if he was reporting the case to Chen Ying: "I also asked someone to stop it with a rope near the dry well, Qian Tianxia's residence has also been sealed, several witnesses were guarded separately, and a small team of personal soldiers was sent to guard the door. ”
At this point, he turned his eyes to look at Chen Ying, his tall body leaned slightly, and his voice was soft, almost not like it came from his mouth: "Ah Ying, I deal with it like this, do you think it's okay?" ”
Chen Ying raised her head suddenly, and her heart was full of surprise.
Such an open mind to ask for advice is really rare.
She stared at him, and he looked at her, his eyes very solemn and serious.
Up close, his pupils were a clear tan color, clean, lighter than amber, with a faint gold-like sheen.
Chen Ying had to admit that he had lost his gangsterism, evil spirit and ruffianism, and Pei Shu's expression at the moment and his appearance were unexpectedly compatible.
She couldn't help but think that if he hadn't suffered a big change and never had his relatives died, with Pei Shu's nature, he might have grown into a very simple person.
However, this thought only lasted for a second, and half of Pei Shu's eyebrows were raised.
In an instant, the little marquis that Chen Ying was familiar with came back again.
"In addition, I also ordered someone to hand over the wine to the military doctor for examination, and there is no conclusion yet." The wine-like voice slid past Chen Ying's ears.
Chen Ying bowed his head: "This arrangement is very appropriate, if I were Ah Shu, I would also explain it like this." ”
Pei Shu smiled, but soon, the smile turned into hesitation: "Actually...... Judging from my superficial knowledge, the death of Lao Qian is probably an accident. ”
He turned his head to look ahead, a hint of self-deprecation on his face.
"It's just that I'm always unwilling." He said, his hands were subconsciously clenched into fists, and his knuckles were slightly white: "I always don't want to believe that he died like this, he died in front of me for no reason, I am really unwilling, and I don't want to give up." ”
He suddenly rolled his eyes and looked at Chen Ying's eyes, with a hint of eagerness: "At that time, I always thought that someone could figure out what I couldn't understand, such as ...... Ah Ying. I...... I didn't know what was going on, so I rode to Uncle Zhongyong's mansion. Now that I think about it, I'm probably going to pick you up. ”
He suddenly withdrew his gaze, lowered his head and eyes, his fists clenched tighter and tighter, and the veins on the back of his hands stretched out.
"I do this, you ...... Mind that? His voice was low, no longer booze, dry and hoarse.
"I don't mind, Ashu." Chen Ying stopped, looked up at him, and looked unusually serious: "Qian Tianxia is very important to you, so he is equally important to me." It is also possible that he died in an accident, but as long as you have the slightest suspicion, I am willing to help you find out what happened. ”
She took a step closer and threw her head higher and closer to him.
The spring breeze swept her green sideburns, and a strand of hair fell down, blowing lightly with the wind, caressing Pei Shu's shoulders.
The tip of his heart fluttered.
"We're going to be a family soon, A. Your business is my business, and I'm glad you're willing to ask me for help. The soft voice, like a lock of long hair, wrapped into his heart.
Pei Shu lowered his eyes to look at her, and after a long time, he suddenly smiled.
It was a very bright smile, Chen Ying had only seen it on his face a few times, and every time, it taught people to rejoice from the bottom of their hearts.
"That's fine." Pei Shu opened his lips and said, his deep eyes looked straight into her eyes.
Chen Ying also smiled: "Let's go, find out the case as soon as possible, and you can rest assured as soon as possible." ”
Pei Shu nodded, said no more, turned around and led the way, and after a while, a fine courtyard appeared in front of him, which was Pei Shu's residence.
At this time, Lang Tingyu was leading his troops to guard the door, and when he saw them, he hurriedly crossed his hands and saluted: "The last general has seen the lord and Chen Ye." ”
Pei Shu waved his hand and strode in with Chen Ying, and Lang Tingyu hurriedly followed.
