Chapter 332: A Difficult Steward
After some idle people left the pharmacy, Zhou Tong snapped his fingers, removed the protection covering several corpses, and said: "We can all start to reorganize the case, of course! This matter cannot rely on my strength alone, and we also need your assistance, so that it is possible to piece together a complete picture of the truth."
The man's eyelids seemed to be raised, and he asked, "How can you cooperate?" We can't help anything, just don't play tricks!"
Wu Yan and Liu Wenyan stared at them with sarcastic expressions, and did not say anything to fight back at each other, but just a few cold snorts that overflowed from their lips that made people listen to them uncomfortably.
Senior Brother One Hundred and Two watched the situation in front of him with some surprise, he didn't expect Zhou Tong to be able to create such a mutually beneficial scene, and couldn't help but sigh that he still underestimated his ability.
Zhou Tong slowly walked to the middle of the corpses, turned his back to everyone and asked slowly, "Who found these corpses first?"
Xiao Baimian hurriedly replied: "It was discovered by the steward Wang Chuanzhi." His quick answer immediately aroused the dissatisfaction of the others. "Am I wrong?"
Everyone who was looking at the side pouted and retracted their gaze, waiting for Zhou Tong's next question or move. ”“
"Where is this steward now?" Zhou Tong leaned down and squatted down to carefully examine the body surface of the corpse, and continued to ask.
"He was taken under house arrest by our servants. This time it was the sterd-faced man who grabbed the right to speak.
Zhou Tong looked back at him and said solemnly: "Bring him here, I have some questions that he needs to answer......
The grumpy man did not wait for his words to speak, but raised his right hand, and a servant with sharp legs and feet ran away nearby.
After some time, the servant took the steward Wang Chuanzhi to the pharmacy. The steward looked more like a gentleman who taught, with three strands of graceful beard flowing down his chest, and a remarkable temperament, which was the opposite of what they were.
After looking at the other party from head to toe a few times, Zhou Tong said: "What is this called?" He knew the other party's name but deliberately asked this, in order to break the barrier between the two parties first and gain some trust before he could delve into the following topic.
The steward Wang Chuanzhi replied without humility or arrogance: "The name below is Wang Chuanzhi, and the master of the five and seventy-three can be called the king steward below." ”
The answer is very organized and decent, worthy of a competent steward, and the person who can recognize him and the number corresponding to him, I have to say that the other party can be rated at a high level in addition to being competent.
Zhou Tong nodded, "Steward Wang, how long have you been in office?"
"Ask some nonsense!" the grumpy man scolded.
Zhou Tongma, who was still smiling a moment ago, showed his inadequacy, he skillfully controlled the angle and did not let the steward Wang Chuanzhi see it, and glanced at the other party angrily, signaling his warning. Then he regained his gentle expression and faced Wang Chuanzhi.
The man who was warned was already irritable, and just when he wanted to go crazy, he was intimidated by other people at the same time, and he had no choice but to swallow this sulk.
Of course, Zhou Tong had already calculated this point, so he dared to suppress him unscrupulously with such an obscure and inferior move.
Steward Wang Chuanzhi replied calmly: "I started my post on the day of the establishment of 'Wu', and I was the first director. ”
"Presumably you should be very familiar with the habits and relationships of everyone here?" Zhou Tong asked tentatively.
Steward Wang Chuanzhi pondered for a moment and replied: "I don't dare to say that I am very familiar, but I only know one or two of them." ”
"Then I don't know if it's convenient to tell one or two?" Zhou Tong looked directly at Wang Chuanzhi with an undeniable gaze.
Wang Chuanzhi, the steward who just wanted to refuse, was immediately shocked by his eyes, he pursed his lips hesitantly, and couldn't say a few words for a long time.
"Hmph, what else can't be said that everyone is dead?" the steril-faced man suddenly exclaimed.
The steward Wang Chuanzhi didn't look at him, and replied: "Well, it's true that these people are dead, but some people are still alive, how do I know if the next moment I say something that I shouldn't say, I will become one of them?"
"What if I can keep you safe?" Zhou Tong asked nonchalantly.
The other party was stunned for a moment, and then turned to laugh out loud. "Hahaha...... It's very light, you got what you wanted, and my life is still worth it? Don't fool me like a three-year-old child!"
Zhou Tong looked at Wang Chuanzhi fixedly, and re-evaluated this person, at first he looked like a knowledgeable teacher, but now when he bargains, he looks like an old businessman who is full of copper smell. It seems that if you want to pry open this person's mouth, you can't afford it without enough money. "How are you going to say that?" he simply asked the other party to make a direct offer.
Steward Wang Chuanzhi laughed and said: "I like to see what people say, and I don't know anything about you, how can I weigh the pros and cons? If I say too much, I will suffer a loss, and if I say too little, then I will not be able to stand you! This ...... I'm afraid it's not easy to handle, well, it's really not easy to handle. After speaking, he peeked to observe Zhou Tong's reaction.
Zhou Tong was a little unsure of what this person was thinking, listening to the meaning of those words, it seemed that the other party wanted to set out his bottom line, but it seemed that he was perfunctory in a roundabout way. "I'm afraid you have no choice now, only obediently cooperate. ”
"Oh, you have the final say in this matter, is there really no second way to choose?" Wang Chuanzhi, the steward, walked a few steps left and right, looking around at everyone.
After seeing that everyone really acquiesced to his rhetorical question, he could only sigh lightly, and said with a pretended disappointment face: "It seems that the time is not with me! But I have a bad problem, that is, I have a stubborn temper, I like to work against others, and I don't know what it means to be a person who knows the times as a handsome man. He spread his hands out, showing that he couldn't help it.
Zhou Tong didn't expect this Wang Chuanzhi to be so awkward, neither straightforwardly prescribing conditions nor willing to submit to the suppression of force to obey himself, what is this guy trying to do? "Don't you want to know who the murderer is? Although you don't say it now, but for the murderer, you have always been a thorn in the heart, and you want to pull it out quickly, have you thought about this?"
This remark seemed to have touched the steward Wang Chuanzhi, but he still wanted to get more for himself. "What do you have to guarantee my life?"
Zhou Tong sneered unmoved: "Many things are outside the body, do you think that the things you get in your hands must have a life to enjoy? Don't be too greedy! I still say the same thing, you have no choice in this matter." ”
