188. The secret of the gold-shelled pocket watch

"Grandpa had a men's pocket watch with a gold case. When I was a child, I loved this watch so much that I always begged my grandfather to show it to me. Until one day Grandpa smiled and said, 'If you like this pocket watch, Grandpa will give it to you.' But this is a men's watch, and you can't use it when you grow up. That's right! When the time comes, you can give this pocket watch to your husband. ’

Of course! It was just a joke, but after my grandfather said so, he gave me the watch. ”

When Tian Chunda and Director Yang heard this, they couldn't help but stare at Zhu Shi's side face with a puzzled expression.

What is the relationship between what she looked for Zhu Wenwu last night and this pocket watch?

However, for fear of interrupting Zhu Shi's speech, the two of them did not express any opinions, but listened patiently and attentively.

Zhu Shi still looked into the distance and continued: "After I got this pocket watch, I was so overjoyed that I kept it by my side from then on, and even when I sleek, I didn't forget to put it next to my pillow and listen to its ticking and ticking sound. However, I was still a kid at the time, and although that pocket watch meant a lot to me, there were times when I broke it, sometimes when the clockwork turned its head or hit the water...... At this time, Zuo Qing will always fix it for me. ”

As soon as they heard Zuo Qing's name, Tian Chunda and Director Yang couldn't help but show nervous expressions on their faces.

"Zuo Qing is three years older than me, and since he was a child, he has been very interested in mechanics, such as assembling radios, toy trams, etc., so repairing my pocket watch is just a trivial matter for him.

Although he always reprimanded me every time he saw me break my watch, when he saw my sad face, he immediately changed his tune and said, 'Alas! Rest assured! I'll fix it for you. I'll fix it tonight and I'll hand it over to you tomorrow. The next day, when he handed me the repaired watch, he always said to me in a mocking tone: 'You have to treasure this watch more!' Because when you grow up and become a bride, don't you want to give this watch to the bridegroom? After that, he would poke my finger in the cheek......"

When Zhu Shi said this, a flush flew on his brain, and his watery and beautiful eyes were also full of brilliance.

At this time, Tian Chunda tried to paint an image of Zuo Qing in his mind.

Although Zuo Qing is now unrecognizable and wears a mask all day long, judging from the photos attached to "Hong Lichuan", Zuo Qing can indeed be called a beautiful man in the past.

Now the episode that Zhu Shi mentioned should be when she was a child. It's just that at that time, what kind of emotions existed between the two little guesses?

And what will Mr. Hong Li feel when he sees it?

At this time, Tian Chunda suddenly thought that Hong Li seemed to have planned to let Zuo Qing and Zhu Shi marry a long time ago.

However, this Zuo Qing is no longer the Zuo Qing of the past, and his original outstanding beauty has now been ruined......

Tian Chunda remembered seeing the broken and disgusting piece of flesh before, and in addition to being terrified, he was also very sympathetic to his experience.

Zhu Shi began to tell her story again: "This watch broke down later, but because Zuo Qing, who could repair it for me, had already studied in the United States, and I didn't want to send this watch to a watch shop for repair, one of the reasons is that I often heard that some people give their watches to watch shops for repair, but the parts in the watch are repackaged, so ...... Another reason is that I always felt that no one could fix this watch except Zuo Qing, so I didn't want to hand it over to someone other than Zuo Qing to repair it. So this watch has been broken until now, until Zuo Qing recently returned home for reunion......"

Zhu Shi suddenly stopped when she said this, but she immediately picked up her spirit and continued: "Four or five days ago, when I was chatting with him, I once showed him the watch and asked him to repair it for me......

As soon as Tian Chunda heard this, his spirit immediately perked up.

"Did Zuo Qing fix that pocket watch for you?" Tian Chunda asked.

Zhu Shi shook his head slowly.

"No, Zuo Qing took the watch and looked at it for a while, only saying that he was not in the mood to repair it now, and he would talk about it after a while, and then he returned the watch to me."

When Zhu Shi said this, he stopped talking.

Tian Chunda and Director Yang both held their breath and looked at Zhu Shi, but Zhu Shi kept facing the lake and didn't speak for a long time.

Captain Tian scratched his mane with his little finger in confusion.

"Excuse me...... What does this have to do with last night's conversation? ”

Zhu Shi didn't answer Tian Chunda's question, but said heavily: "Last night, Zhu Wenwu and Xin Youzhi took out Zuo Qing's handprints that were stored in Miyun Temple before, and wanted to prove Zuo Qing's ...... Zuo Qing's true identity ......"

When Zhu Shi said this, his shoulders trembled slightly involuntarily.

"They hoped to verify their identity, but unexpectedly it caused a commotion. Aunt Hong Xiangsong refused to let Zuo Qing stamp her handprint at all, which disappointed everyone. At this time, it occurred to me, didn't I just say that? A few days ago, I asked Zuo Qing to repair my watch, so when I returned to my room, I opened the cover and found that there was a fingerprint on Zuo Qing's right thumb on the back. ”

When Tian Chunda heard this, his spirit was lifted.

Director Yang was stunned, and it took him a while before he faced Zhu Shi again.

"But how can you be sure that this is Zuo Qing's fingerprint?" Director Yang asked.

Tian Chunda thought that Zhu Shi must have deliberately designed Zuo Qing to leave fingerprints somewhere in the pocket watch from the beginning.

Zhu Shi is such a smart girl!

"I don't think that's wrong. Because before I took the pocket watch to Zuo Qing, I had already wiped the surface clean in advance, not to mention that no one had touched this pocket watch except me and Zuo Qing, and the fingerprint on the watch was not mine. ”

As I expected, Zhu Shi had this intention from the beginning, so he wiped the watch clean in advance and asked the other party to leave fingerprints on the back of the watch. What a clever move! Tian Chunda nodded approvingly.

In that intense atmosphere last night, it was impossible to collect Zuo Qing's fingerprints, but if they were left alone, it would only deepen the suspicion in the hearts of Zhu Wenwu, Xin Youzhi, and their parents. Therefore, I would like to ask Zhu Wenwu to compare the fingerprints on the watch with the handprints on the scroll. Zhu Shi said again.

"I see, you are here to talk about this matter, so you asked Zhu Wenwu to come here to meet?" Tian Chunda asked.

"Yes."

"It was eleven o'clock?"

"It was eleven o'clock when I left the room. Because if Yuan Zhuang knew about this matter, he would definitely follow, which may not be convenient; So as soon as I got back to my room, I stayed in the room until eleven o'clock, and then quietly left the room. ”
