Chapter 085: Strange Touch
Lowering his eyes again, Pei Shu looked at Chen Ying, the line of sight projected from the single-eyelid eyes was between sharp and cold: "Third Miss Chen, why do you say this?" ”
The voice is like wine, mellow and magnetic, with great confusion, which makes people subconsciously want to relax their vigilance.
The curvature of the corners of Chen Ying's mouth deepened slightly, and he turned his head to look at the pavilion lotus blooming not far away, unmoved: "This confession must have been obtained from the hands of the adults when they met with the uncle or the prince in the study in front of him." ”
Speaking of this, she suddenly opened her mouth and said, "I am wondering why the Lord came to the backyard alone, and the Bofu did not even send a steward. As an adult, the prince should at least be by his side. Now I finally understand that this is not the reason why Bofu is ignorant of etiquette...... It's still out of the adult. ”
She looked sideways at Pei Shu, and there seemed to be a little smile in her eyes that were as clean as water: "I deduce that the adults must have refused to be accompanied by the people of the Bofu, and it is even likely that they are not allowed to come forward." You want to decide the case alone, and the idle people should not be disturbed, so as not to affect your judgment, don't you? ”
She shook the confession in her hand at Pei Shu, and the corners of her mouth twisted away from the position she frequented: "This confession is so perfect, it is enough to make a difference, if the adult wants to calm things down, you can leave with this confession." And the rest of the corpse is not impossible to leave it to Bofu to dispose of by himself. But now, the adults have appeared here, and the people of Bofu have disappeared. ”
At this point, she stopped talking meaningfully.
Pei Shu personally led people to retrieve the corpse, and also asked experienced officials to carefully examine the body, which showed that he not only did not believe this confession, but even had great suspicions about Bofu.
Chen Ying had an inexplicable relief.
In this world, there is still salvation, at least there are officials like Pei Shu, who act impartially and do not follow personal feelings.
In addition, according to the reaction given by Bofu, Chen Ying also deduced another thing:
The identity of this Master Pei must be quite good, otherwise he would not be able to suppress Xingjibo's father and son.
You know, there is still an eldest princess standing behind Xingjibo Mansion.
Chen Ying's gaze stayed on Pei Shu's face for a long time.
Pei Shu had been silent, and from her position, he could only see his chin.
The two stood silently for a few breaths, Pei Shu suddenly turned his head, and his angular chin regularly went up together, and then closed downward.
Chen Ying's eyes lit up at this moment.
It's a nod gesture!
Pei Shu was replying to her previous questions.
He really didn't believe this confession, and he really didn't hesitate to offend Xingjibo's mansion, and he also wanted to drive away the idlers and others so that he could judge the case without interference.
Almost at the same time as this conclusion was reached, the depression that had always been blocked in Chen Ying's heart gradually dissipated, and she even gave birth to a feeling of pity that was close to sympathy.
Dare to doubt anyone, this is also a belief.
She never expected that in this ancient time and space, she would be able to find someone who held the same philosophy as her, which made her feel a little indescribable relief. It was as if on the road where the cocoon was walking alone, and a companion suddenly appeared.
Perhaps, of course...... No...... There should be a great possibility that she and Pei Shu will not always be on the same path.
However, just this moment of companionship is also precious.
After calming down a little, Chen Ying raised the pile of paper in his hand and said indifferently: "This confession is fake. ”
I only said this sentence, and then there was no follow-up.
Even if he knows that it is false, as long as he has this confession, Jiao Xing's case can only end in throwing himself into the lake.
At least for now, Chen Ying can't find the possibility of overturning the case.
"Miss Chen San, don't you want to interrogate those witnesses in person?" Pei Shu's eyes looked ahead, and he only swept in the direction of Chen Ying with the corner of his eye.
When Chen Ying heard this, the corners of his mouth moved slightly: "Even if someone comes to ask me about a month ago, I may not be able to remember it clearly, let alone three months ago?" She shook her head, raised her hand and put down the drape on the fence, and said in a quiet voice: "Just one sentence of 'I don't remember' can blur all the contradictions and unreasonableness." If you go to interrogate these witnesses, you will only make the case deadlocked, which is not good for the overall situation. ”
The maid named Xiao Zhen is the key.
Rather than wasting time on those few "witnesses" and arousing the vigilance of the opponent, it is better to close the case first, so as to paralyze the opponent, and then secretly follow up the clues.
In Mr. Detective's world, he has used this method more than once to lure the murderer to show his feet.
"I've already sent someone to find Xiao Zhen." The deep voice mingled in the wind, coming slowly, as if dyeing the wind into a slight drunkenness.
Chen Ying breathed a sigh of relief silently, looked at Pei Shu through the fence, and praised sincerely: "Master Pei is high." ”
This Pei Shu not only had the same doubts about this case as her, but also made the wisest decision.
As long as you grasp Xiao Zhen's line and check it down, over time, there will always be a day when the truth will come out.
Chen Ying's heart was relieved, and at the same time, he once again felt that Pei Shu was trustworthy in terms of criminal name.
She never looks at people with preconceptions.
Even if Pei Shu's attitude towards her has always been unfriendly, she will not look down on the other party for this.
After all, she didn't come to find a friend. All she needs is a collaborator with the same goals. And Pei Shu obviously preliminarily met this requirement.
This is a blessing.
Pei Shu not only served in the Criminal Department, but also appeared in this case, which shows that the cases he was involved in will overlap with Chen Ying somewhat, and may even overlap completely.
In this way, it is important to have a trustworthy collaborator.
Thinking about these in his heart, Chen Ying held up the stack of confessions, intending to return them to Pei Shu.
Pei Shu at this moment is also a little absent-minded.
His gaze stopped again in the distance, the boat had been moored in place for a long time, and the two corpse salvages were still diving into the water and resurfacing, and the speed of salvage was much slower than that of Fang Cai.
Pei Shu frowned.
The Guo family only mentioned Jiao Xing alone, that is, there should be only one corpse sunk under the water. But now there is suddenly an extra corpse, what is the reason?
Did Xingjibo Mansion not report it, or did it ...... What's hidden?
He was immersed in his thoughts, and it was not until a strange, paper-specific touch came to his fingertips that he suddenly came back to his senses.
Turning his head to look, he saw that his finger was crossing the surface of the confession, just touching a slender fingertip, and that strange feeling came from this.
