The summer solstice girl was a little uneasy after all, and went to the construction site again, planning to persuade those coolies again, hoping that the thief could take the initiative to stand up, so as not to affect everyone.

Yang Jing was pondering alone in the tearoom, his clue was relatively clear, and he was about to go to the medicine garden to verify his speculation, but at this time Chen Shuisheng walked in.

Chen Shuisheng was not very old, he was upright, and he couldn't hide anything on his mind, so as soon as he came in, he walked in front of Yang Jing, and his face was a little gloomy and he defended to Yang Jing.

"Brother Yang, the brothers on the construction site can't be thieves, they are all good people, big brother can't wronged them."

Yang Jing knew that Chen Shuisheng was a scheming child, and he was not angry, he just handed him a cup of herbal tea, Chen Shuisheng saw that Yang Jing didn't care, and turned his face away with some anger: "I'm not thirsty." ”

Yang Jing also smiled, after all, Chen Shuisheng really regarded him as a brother, so he didn't greet him politely, nor did he treat him as his master or superior, so he did his best to help at the construction site, which made Yang Jing feel very warm.

However, he is a teenager who does not have much experience, and he lives alone with his father on the shore of Dongting Lake all the year round, even if he sells fish, he will not bargain, such an honest person usually has his own stubbornness.

Yang Jing saw that he was angry, so he put down the teacup gently, and then looked directly at Chen Shuisheng and said, "That foreman asked you to intercede, right?"

Chen Shuisheng was about to nod, but he remembered that the foreman told him not to admit it, but he was not a person who could lie, so he immediately blushed and buried his head in silence.

Although Yang Jing's vision is not as vicious as Wang Buliu, Chen Shuisheng is such a simple child as a blank sheet of paper, he can naturally see through it at a glance.

Chen Shuisheng is a simple person, he has not been in contact with too many people, he has no friends, he has eaten and lived with these bold and uninhibited men for a few days, and he will soon be called a brother and sister with others, Yang Jing is also very aware of this, but it is precisely because he knows this that he must remind Chen Shuisheng, lest he be too gullible and go astray in the future.

"Shui Sheng, I know that you are kind-hearted and sympathetic to these people, but some of them enter the medicine garden without authorization and steal herbs, this is a matter of conduct, if you don't let him suffer some losses in time, I am afraid that he will get away with it, and he will continue to steal, stealing herbs today, and not knowing what to steal tomorrow, which hurts him, let him suffer some hardships, so that he can remember the pain, and he can be honest in the future." ”

Yang Jing was also bitter, but Chen Shuisheng still couldn't turn the corner, he muttered in a low voice: "Isn't it just a few herbs, since Brother Yang is willing to give them meat and processing money, why do you have to grab a few worthless herbs?"

Yang Jing patted him on the shoulder, pressed him to the chair, and handed him the teacup again, and then continued to explain.

"Shuisheng, do you know why I asked you to move reinforcements?"

Chen Shuisheng only knew that Yang Jing asked him to inform Xu Fengwu and Song Fengya, and by the way, he called Wang Dou over, but he didn't know the specific situation, so he had to shake his head at this time.

Yang Jing sighed lightly and said: "A few herbs are indeed not worth much, but it depends on where they are used, if I say that the herbs he stole were to cure a murderous Jiang Yang thief, would you still think that it was just a few herbs?"

"The things in this world are not the value that determines the role, but the role determines the value, the literati regard the treasures, the only classics that are the pearls of the words, to the hands of the illiterate peddlers and pawns, can only be burned as firewood, the literati disdain the coarse steamed buns, for the hungry and cold victims are life-saving rations, we must not look at things from the heart, do what you want, but also look at the comprehensive, look at the long-term, so as to be impartial"

Yang Jing can be regarded as well-intentioned, Chen Shuisheng is not dull, and he also has some understanding after listening to it, but he still can't change it for a while, and immediately questioned it.

"Okay, just like Brother Yang said, these herbs are very useful, and if they are used to treat bad people, it will be a great sin, but how can you be sure that the thief is someone from our family? Can't it be that the bad guy stole it? In order to boil medicine for my father, Sister Xia Zhi and I have also picked herbs a few times, why is Brother Yang so sure?"

Although Chen Shuisheng has also heard some rumors about Yang Jing solving the case, he is only anxious to intercede for the workers at this time, where did he think of this stubble, and besides, he has not seen and experienced it with his own eyes, and he cannot have too much experience of rumors such as Yang Jing being good at solving cases.

Yang Jing smiled: "Because I have checked the shoe prints in the medicine garden, Xia Zhi is a girl, her feet are smaller than yours, and hers is her own cloth shoes, but the workers are straw shoes, and the shoe prints are different." ”

Chen Shuisheng: "Then why can't it be me, but someone else?"

Yang Jing glanced at Chen Shuisheng's smooth feet, and said with a light smile: "Shuisheng, what the eldest brother said is shoe prints, to be honest, you are no longer a little fisherman fishing on the shore of Dongting Lake, and you should get used to wearing shoes."

Hearing Yang Jing's ridicule, Chen Shuisheng suddenly blushed and shrank his bare feet back, as if Yang Jing's gaze was a silver needle piercing his feet.

Yang Jing did find a few bare footprints in the medicine garden, which should be Chen Shuisheng's, because the other workers are all veterans and know what the fate will be if they don't wear shoes when they work on the construction site, and Chen Shuisheng has too little experience, and he is used to the barefoot days coming and going in the water, and the whole manor does not wear shoes, except for him is his father Chen Chao, which is not difficult to deduce.

In fact, on the first night after they came, Xia Zhi prepared shoes and socks for them, but Chen Shuisheng saw that the shoes were clean and comfortable, and he was reluctant to wear them.

After all, he has seen too little of the world, and Yang Jing can deduce the Tao just by his footprints, which may be very simple after putting it bluntly, but for Chen Shuisheng, such an inference is a very magical thing.

"Why is the big brother sure that he is our worker, and not the bad guy?" Although he still had doubts at this time, he was no longer complaining about Yang Jing's ruthlessness, but out of curiosity, hoping to continue to listen to Yang Jing's reasoning, as if he had found something interesting and interesting, he was deeply attracted.

Yang Jing originally wanted Chen Shuisheng to be a catcher or stay by his side to listen, seeing that he was interested, he was naturally happy in his heart, and he was afraid that Chen Shuisheng would be fooled by those workers, so he decided to work with this group of workers.

Yang Jing smiled, took out a paper bag from his arms, spread it out, put it on the table, pushed it in front of Chen Shuisheng and said, "What do you see these?"

Chen Shuisheng looked suspicious, looked down carefully, twisted some more, rubbed it with his fingertips, scratched his head and replied: "This is stone chips, it is very common on the construction site, in the past two days in the foundation building, the stone chips are all over the body."

Yang Jing nodded with satisfaction, and then continued to enlighten: "These stone chips were found in the medicine garden, and they were found on the edge of a shoe print under a few peony plants, what does this mean?"

Chen Shuisheng knocked on his head and replied with a sudden realization: "I understand, these stone chips must have fallen on the shoes of the workers when they were working, so the eldest brother is so sure that the thief is from our construction site!"

Yang Jing smiled, but asked rhetorically: "These stone chips may also be left by that bad person, since he asked the people inside to help him steal herbs and not go to the construction site, how can he instruct that person?"

Chen Shuisheng had already devoted himself to analysis at this time, and after Yang Jing's step-by-step inspiration, he gradually mastered this rhythm, and after pondering for a while, he calmly analyzed.

"It's not the bad guy outside, if it's the bad guy, since he can come to the construction site, he must pass through the medicine garden, since he passed through the medicine garden, he steals it back, why should he instruct others in one move, this is unreasonable. ”

Yang Jing laughed, and continued to guide: "Since that bad guy didn't come in, how could the people inside be instructed by that bad guy?"

Chen Shuisheng: "The people outside can't come in, but the people inside can go out, it must be that person who came back to steal the medicine after he went out and was instructed by the bad guys!"

"Well, very good, then how can we know who the thief is?" Yang Jing continued to ask, this time Chen Shuisheng thought for a long time, and his eyes did not have the initial excitement, but more calm.

"As long as we ask who has been out in the past few days, that thief must be one of those people who went out!"

"Not bad, hahaha!" Yang Jing patted Chen Shuisheng on the shoulder, smiled and praised, to be able to enter the state so quickly, Chen Shuisheng's thinking is still relatively active and meticulous, perhaps it is precisely because he is pure-hearted, does not have too many distractions, and is not easily disturbed by external factors, it is easier to get close to the truth, from this point of view, he is indeed a good seedling worth cultivating!

After getting Yang Jing's appreciation, Chen Shuisheng forgot that he was here to intercede, and immediately stood up eagerly, and said excitedly: "I'm just asking, who has gone out in the past few days!"

Yang Jing didn't expect him to be so resolute, and he couldn't cry or laugh, so he hurriedly stopped and said: "No need, I've put pressure on them now, this person can't withstand the pressure of the big guys, and he will definitely run away tonight."

"Yes, yes, yes, we just need to catch him, and we can ask who the bad guy behind it is!" Chen Shuisheng's eyes lit up, as if for the first time he had tasted the sense of accomplishment that brought by deducing the truth.

However, Yang Jing waved his hand lightly and said: "We don't need to arrest him, even if we catch him, in case he is tight-lipped, we will have to work hard to pry his mouth open." ”

"What should I do then?" Chen Shuisheng was a little anxious, for fear that the target of his mouth would fly away, but Yang Jing smiled, closed his eyes calmly, and said slowly.

"After this thief escaped, his identity was exposed, and he would definitely worry that I would pursue him, this person, once he was afraid, he would always think about finding a stronger backer than himself, this is instinct, who do you think this thief will look for after he escapes?"

Chen Shuisheng suddenly opened his eyes and replied excitedly: "That thief will definitely go to find the bad guy behind him! As long as we follow him, we will be able to find out the bad guy behind him!"
