Chapter 16: Yan Zi
The fat sheriff then introduced the situation and kicked the thin Cao Xing, "This kid was brought out in the kiln, and after selling the stolen goods, he went to be happy." ”
Then, he introduced two other thieves, a tall middle-aged man in his thirties named Liu Sui, and a stocky long-haired young man named Jiao Yong, "These two goods are even more daring, so they teamed up with Cao Xing to steal the Cao family, and went to steal the other two families in the morning."
When we carried Cao Xing to the scrap yard for identification, it was blocked. Grandma's, if it weren't for the fact that I brought a lot of people, I would have to let these two boys run away. ”
As he spoke, he rolled up his sleeves and touched the oily skin that had been rubbed on his wrist.
Jia Zhengming was impatient to see him show his merits, and continued to use the old routine to intimidate Cao Xing and the others.
As soon as Cao Xing and the three of them heard that there was a dead person, and the charges were pressed on the heads of the three of them, they were immediately anxious, and they knelt down to the sky and swore an oath.
"Dare to pretend, it seems that if you don't move the punishment, you won't be recruited."
Jia Zhengming shouted angrily, "Come on, drag me down, and use the means." ”
"Wait!"
Liu Sui lamented, "I have information, I have information, last night, I saw a man in a top hat leave at Cao's house, the time was about 11:20. ”
As soon as these words came out, the audience was shocked.
"Be careful, dare to leak a little, Lao Tzu will dismantle you."
Gu Chun said sharply.
Liu Sui said, "We and Cao Xing arrived at one o'clock after eleven o'clock, he went to block the two maids first, Jiao Yong and I went to step on the point, Jiao Yong went to the left, and I went to the right."
I was rummaging things in the west wing, and suddenly I heard a snap, I was startled, and hurriedly lay down on the window of the west wing, looked out, and saw a person slowly getting up from the ground, dusting off the dust on his trouser legs, pressing the brim of his hat, and leaving quickly.
The incident happened suddenly, Jiao Yong and Cao Xing didn't find out, Cao Xing was timid and small, I was afraid to say it, he didn't dare to act, and it was a big deal, so he kept it from them.
But we just take some things, exchange some chewing money, and kill people, and borrow ten of our guts, but we don't dare to do it. ”
"Liu Sui, you have to know that if you dare to tell the slightest lie, you will be imprisoned."
Jia Zhengming threatened sharply.
Liu Sui said, "Don't dare."
"The case is getting more and more confusing."
Qin Bing said in a low voice.
Xu Shu didn't speak, there was a pimple between his eyebrows, he took out a cigarette, put it between his lips, and didn't light it.
Knock, knock, there was another sound from the staircase, and it was so rhythmic that you didn't need to listen carefully to know that it was a woman.
Sure enough, a sheriff ushered in a tall woman.
She wore a long light-colored coat and a white wide-brimmed sunhat covering her head, with a delicate figure and delicate facial features.
"Miss Yan, why are you?"
Jia Zhengming took three steps and made two steps to meet him.
"This woman's name is Yan Zi, she runs a bookstore, she is a famous courtesan and has great influence."
Duan Kuohai introduced in a low voice.
"I'm freshening up, and I'm summoned by your people, President Jorge, so I can only come here unkempt."
Yan Zi's voice is very soft and charming, a pair of bright eyes are crystal clear, and what she says is clearly a scene, but it makes people feel sincere.
"Excuse me, excuse me."
Jia Zhengming turned his head and reprimanded the sheriff over there, "I don't know the importance of things, since it is Miss Yan who wants to be invited, why don't you come to the prophet to meet me." ”
The sheriff is only the only one.
Yan Zi said, "President Jia, is there anything wrong with looking for me?" Chief Master Cao, why didn't you see him. ”
Jia Zhengming said, "Unfortunately, Master Cao died. ”
"What...... This, this can't be ......"
Yan Zihua's face turned pale, and her bright eyes turned up, "When did this happen?" Last night, we had a good conversation, and when I left, Master Cao was fine, how could this be......"
"The reaction was real."
Qin Bing said in a low voice.
"Lao Jia, let's change my person and ask."
Duan Kuohai couldn't stand it anymore, Jia Zhengming almost knelt down and licked Shang Yanzi, how could he ask the case in this state.
Jia Zhengming smiled awkwardly and stepped aside.
Xu Shu stepped forward, "Miss Yan, take a step to speak." ”
"It's free to borrow a step, what is there we can't hear, the people of the Cao family have gone down, there are only people from the official family here, there is nothing to hide."
With a wave of Gu Chun's hand, a sheriff brought tables and chairs.
"Whatever you want, ask."
Yan Zi sat down gracefully, her eyes full of sorrow.
Xu Shu sat down across from him, "When did Miss Yan arrive at the Cao family yesterday and when did she leave?" ”
Yan Zi thought for a while, "It should be seven or eight o'clock when I arrived at Cao's house, I can't remember the specific time, it was ten o'clock and five when I left." ”
"Why the time of leaving, remember so clearly."
"In order to protect my skin, I have to drink a glass of milk and go to bed before half past ten every day. So before leaving, I deliberately looked at the time. ”
"Did Chief Master Cao send you?"
"No, he and Mr. Zuo are chatting."
Jia Zhengming leaned into Gu Chun's ear and said in a low voice, "From the confessions of Dongmei and Xia Zhu, it can be determined that yesterday evening, Yan Zi visited Cao's house at the same time as a man, and that man must be Mr. Zuo." ”
"What is Mr. Zuo's name, what does he do, and where does he live?"
"I don't know, it's the first time we've met, Mr. Zuo was invited by Master Cao, and through last night's conversation, I can see that Mr. Zuo is very interested in Zen Taoism."
"What does he look like?"
"Medium build, Chinese face, wearing a black top hat with a low brim."
With a brush, everyone's faces changed.
Jia Zhengming instructed the fat magistrate to interrogate Dongmei and Xia Zhu again, find a painting expert, and copy the image of Mr. Zuo as much as possible.
Xu Shu stopped the fat sheriff and asked him to bring Dongmei up.
Yan Zi sat on the sofa next to her, and Dongmei sat in the seat she had sat in before.
"First of all, tell me what your impressions are of the two guests who visited your lord last night."
"One is...... Yes, this is this young lady, she is very beautiful, I am very impressed. ”
Dongmei pointed at Yan Zi, and Yan Zi nodded at her slightly.
Dongmei continued, "There is another gentleman, I only see him wearing a hat, and I don't know what he looks like. ”
"How is this possible? If you can see Miss Yan's face clearly, how can you not see the face of another visitor clearly? ”
"It's true, when the two visitors came, we were looking for the Pu'er tea stored by the master in the storage room according to the master's instructions, and the master said that we would entertain the guests.
When the two guests came, I only glanced at the window of the storage room from a distance, the storage room was in the corner, the view was not good, the two visitors walked very fast, and only saw about a man and a woman. ”
"Didn't you send the tea tray in the master bedroom?"
"Yes."
"But the master took the teapot at the door, and I didn't see it inside."
"Then how do you say that Miss Yan is very beautiful and impressed by her."
"When Miss Yan left after ten o'clock, I hadn't even laid down and was washing, and I happened to meet on the first floor, and she smiled at me."
"What time did the male visitor leave?"
"I don't remember, after I sent the tea tray, the master asked me to rest, and specially instructed him to send off the guests and close the door when the time came."
"So when you came to deliver medicine to your lord at eleven o'clock, the male visitor was no longer there?"
"That's right."
At the end of the questioning, Xu Shu asked Dongmei to take Dongmei down.
Gu Chun sneered, "It's been a long time, and it's been a little bit." ”
Xu Shu ignored him, turned around and walked towards the master bedroom, he stood at the door of the master bedroom, looked at the master bedroom, and carefully explored every detail.
So far, he has not noticed the slightest abnormality.
But I always felt that there were too many things that happened last night, and some things happened too coincidentally.
For example, Mr. Zuo, why did he come and go just to avoid the maid's sight.
And Chief Master Cao clearly didn't want Dongmei to see Mr. Zuo, otherwise, he would never let Dongmei serve tea inside.
An hour later, a sketch of Yan Zi's dictation was placed in front of everyone.
"After Liu Sui and Dongmei pointed out, the body shape and hat shape are like this."
Jia Zhengming's face was full of red light, "If this is the case, then this Mr. Zuo is a major suspect, as long as this person is caught, all the mysteries can be solved." I've already sent someone to investigate the file, and I'm sure there will be clues soon. ”
Two hours later, the sheriff who investigated the household files came to report, saying that he had searched all the household files and found no Mr. Zuo, and that if he wanted to find any clues, he could only rely on visits, but it would take a long time.
"I'm afraid it's useless to visit, if it was really him who committed the crime, he couldn't still stay in Chunshen."
Gu Chun said, "The key now is not the identity of Mr. Zuo, but the cause of Chief Cao's death." There is no evidence, at least yet, that he died of murder. ”
Gu Chun and Jia Zhengming's interests are not the same, Jia Zhengming wants to solve the case, and Gu Chun wants a case involving extraordinary power.
If it was just an ordinary vendetta, his trip would have been in vain.
"Check, check his relics for me, so many books, open them and check them one by one."
Gu Chun shouted the order.
Xu Shu hurriedly said, "Pay attention to protect the scene, except for the desk, don't move anywhere else." ”
After another two hours, I found something.
A thick notebook with a yellow cover was sent to Gu Chun, and Gu Chun looked at it while snorting, laughing and scolding from time to time.
Gu Chunzheng was fascinated, and a big hand reached out and took off the notebook.
"What are you doing!"
Gu Chun glared at Duan Kuohai angrily.
Duan Kuohai said, "Lao Gu, according to your opinion, it's dark. ”
As he spoke, he flipped through it, looked at it, and was fascinated.
Xu Shu couldn't wait, snatched the notes from Duan Kuohai's hand, glanced at them roughly, and was secretly speechless.
This is a "love from the heart" diary, which records the process of Cao Guangxiao playing with women with the help of power in his hands.
