Chapter 9 Inquiries

"Why did you get down?" Offstage, Ouyang Xiu, who was looking for traces of gems everywhere, saw Zheng Hanfei walking down with a relaxed expression, and couldn't help asking, "The case is solved?" ”

"Nope." Zheng Hanfei shook his head, frowned slightly, pursed his lips, and had a disappointed expression, "The current clues not only did not make my thinking clear, but made me more and more confused, so I want to find some useful clues in the audience." ”

"Oh? Already found a new lead? If you don't mind, let me hear it, how about it? ”

"No problem." Zheng Hanfei nodded, and spent nearly ten minutes telling Ouyang Xiu the clues he had mastered.

"In this way, as long as the mystery of the disappearance of the gem is solved, the prisoner will be revealed." Ouyang Xiu pondered for a while, "It's just that these clues can't be worn at all, I think, it lacks some 'notes' and a 'stave'." ”

"Notes? Stave? ”

"yes!" Ouyang Xiu glanced at Katie, who was standing on the stage and discussing with her younger brother, and said, "Katie once said that if you compare clues to musical notes, then the evidence is a stave, and the combination of the two is a musical score called 'Truth'. ”

"What an exact analogy." Zheng Hanfei smiled, "Even if she says such philosophical words, my suspicions about her have not diminished in the slightest. ”

"It doesn't matter." Ouyang Xiu shrugged his shoulders, "I don't think Katie's character would have done such a thing, and even if she did, it showed that she had a hard time." ”

"Regardless of whether there is a bitterness or not, and how many reasons there are, a crime is a crime, and it cannot be forgiven."

"You...... Won't you think about the feelings of the prisoners? Don't you have a little emotion? ”

"Consider? Emotion? Zheng Hanfei smiled disdainfully, "I also want to have it, but these things are not something I can master, I couldn't before, and the possibility in the future is not great......"

"What do you mean by that?"

"Nothing?" Zheng Hanfei shrugged his shoulders like Ouyang Xiu, "Let's go, do you want to come along?" ”

"No! You can go and look for it, but let me warn you, these people have been standing here for a long time, and they have a slightly bad temper, so don't touch the nails. ”

"Thanks for the reminder."

...... the hell What happened? Are you really ...... Looking at the flash of despair in Zheng Hanfei's eyes, Ouyang Xiu's heart was knocked hard, and a wave of sadness was spreading throughout his body. It seems that he has felt it before.

Where the hell is it? Heh, Zheng Hanfei, you are really becoming more and more mysterious.

……

"Excuse me, from the beginning of the exhibition to the present, you have not noticed any abnormalities." In order to save time, Zheng Hanfei first asked Linda about the guests closest to the stage, and then estimated the possibility that they could find the stage abnormality one by one, and finally, locked a few people and asked them one by one.

"Nope." Glancing at Zheng Hanfei, who was dressed in shabby, a middle-aged man dressed in gorgeous clothes replied angrily, and then turned his head away from looking at him.

"Please think about it, whatever it is, as long as you feel abnormal." Zheng Hanfei didn't give up, and still asked, but unfortunately, what he got in exchange was not the clues he thought, but a bunch of angry words from middle-aged people.

"I said no, no, no! What's the point of your nagging! Don't think that you know the knowledge of emeralds is great, just want to learn detective cases, look at your shabby appearance, I don't know why you are participating in this exhibition, little boy, go quickly, don't pollute the scenery in front of you. ”

"You ......" Zheng Hanfei regretted that he had come down to look for clues in person, although he followed Ouyang Xiu's warning, he didn't expect that these people's tempers were so bad, and there was no one in their eyes, comparable to European nobles...... No, it's the nobility of the nobility, at least some of the nobility can still treat people equally.

Zheng Hanfei endured his anger and left, looking for the next person to ask.

"I don't know!"

Asked again.

"Let's go!"

Also go and ask.

"What detective? Walk away, out of my sight. ”

I can't stand it anymore! Zheng Hanfei yelled in his heart, holding on to the corner of the wall and gasping for air. As the saying goes, the prime minister can hold a ship in his belly, but he can withstand the anger of two aircraft carriers, and no one can stand it, unless he is not human.

"What's wrong with you, young man?" At this time, a kind voice sounded in Zheng Hanfei's ears.

Turning his head to look, he saw a woman about seventy or eighty years old standing in front of him, with white hair, shallow wrinkles, and a set of gorgeous clothes, looking at Zheng Hanfei with a pair of smiling eyes, which suddenly made him feel that she was an amiable old man, so he also said with a smile: "Grandma, it's okay!" ”

"Don't be angry, young man. In fact, when I was young, like them, people will always understand some great truths when they are old. ”

"Grandma, how can you talk like that?" Zheng Hanfei said, "You are not old, you look like you are only fifty years old at most." ”

"Hehe, young man, you are really good at talking, but you can't be more clever in lying. Since you call me grandma, how do you tell I'm young? ”

"This ......" Zheng Hanfei was speechless for a moment, maybe the sudden appearance of this old grandmother startled him, and his nervous mood was not calm, so he would talk so nonsense.

"Young man, I've seen it all, you've been asking if there's anything unusual on the stage, don't you ask me?"

Hearing what the old grandmother said, Zheng Hanfei remembered that the position she was standing in the venue was also very close to the display shelf, and the angle was also very good, but the other party was an old man, so he waited until the end to ask.

"Are you alright, young man?"

"Huh? Yes! It's okay, that, did grandma find anything unusual? ”

"Well, you know there was an accident at the show, right?"

"Well, you know, it was at the end of Miss Katie's performance that the red cloth covering the bulletproof glass suddenly fell."

"That's right, that's when I saw the gems on the display shelf."

"This ...... Looks like everyone has seen it, right? Zheng Hanfei replied with a blank face, wondering if this was what she told me, right?

"Young man, I'm not done yet!" The old lady glared at Zheng Hanfei, and then said, "At that time, I always felt that something was wrong with the gem. ”

"Something is wrong?"

"Yes! The jewel looked a little illusory and mysterious under the light. ”

"This ......" Zheng Hanfei was still a little confused, he didn't know what the old grandmother wanted to express at all.

"Also, I seem to see that the shadow of that frame seems to be missing a little."

"Missing?"

"Well, the defect is in a semi-arc, as for the location, I don't know."

"Grandma, are you sure?"

"Don't underestimate me, young man." The old woman said with some annoyance, but the smile in her eyes indicated that she was not angry at all, "I look old, but my eyesight and hearing are not at all as bad as those of old people." ”

"Oh. Thank you, granny. Zheng Hanfei thanked. Her words seemed to have made Zheng Hanfei grasp another important clue, so that he had almost found all the clues, and now, he was going to run to the display shelf and listen to the clues brought by Uncle Wang to improve his theory.

"That's right." Before leaving, Zheng Hanfei asked the grandmother, "Can you tell me why you want to tell me these clues?" ”

"Hehe, young man, you can see from your knowledge of emeralds that you are different from other children, although others do not believe that you are a detective, but I believe it, so I tell you these things."

"Grandma, can I tell you your name?"

"My name is Yuan Cui, I have a lot of research on emeralds, if you have time, go to No. 32 Tieyuan Road to find me, I really want to hear your case." Yuan Cui smiled, patted Zheng Hanfei on the shoulder, and turned around and walked towards a place in the venue.

Yuan Cui ...... Why is the name so familiar, forget it! It's important to solve the case! Hurry up and find evidence, if I'm guessing correctly, the thief shouldn't have taken that thing. Thinking of this, Zheng Han quickly ran towards the display shelf.

"Uncle Wang, how is it, did you ask anything?"

"Young Master, regarding the anomaly on the stage, the three of them all said that they didn't find anything."

"Alright, I got it! Anything else? ”

"And then there's the incident about Miss Cady's Gab at the show, which Sterling said was to show that Cady was a protagonist at today's show."

"Did he think of it himself?"

"No, it was Delo who said it."

"I see!" Zheng Hanfei nodded, knowing the clue of this piece, the "notes" he wanted to play were all together, and he also knew how to write the "score" and how to play the "movement", and next, he should find the most important stave, which was called "evidence".

"Looks like you've got it in mind." Ouyang Xiu walked over slowly, his face full of smiles like Zheng Hanfei.

"The same goes for you." Zheng Hanfei nodded, "Eavesdropping on our conversation?" ”

"How can it be called eavesdropping? I just accidentally heard it while looking for gems. ”

"Oh? So where are the gemstones? See if your reasoning is the same as mine? Zheng Hanfei said with a playful face, but he had already guessed in his heart that Ouyang Xiu must know the answer.
