Chapter 16

Jinglin opened the curtain of the sedan chair and half showed his face. His eyes fell at the entrance of Chenjia Lane, where everyone had gathered here, all of whom came for murder.

"Is Tongling still related to this family?" Cang Ji said in his sleeve, "But this place is clearly an ordinary family."

Jinglin leaned over and got out of the sedan chair and said, "I feel that the copper bell is still here. If I don't find out the case first, I'm afraid I won't be able to find the copper bell."

"This case is bizarre and not artificial." Cang Ji remembered the scene a few days ago and said, "There are five people in his family, but there is a little girl. I heard Ye Yu, the monster next door, maybe I was caught by the monster to replenish blood."

"If it's a monster," Jinglin frowned and put it into his sleeves, "How could Hui'an and the Dividing Department ignore it?"

Cang Ji didn't pay attention, but Jing Lin remembered it clearly. Although the body in the yard had been eaten by Rakshasa birds that night, many traces were still left. Among them, the blood marks dragged out were the most conspicuous. The murderer was clearly torture, not to give him a pleasure with one knife.

"Investigate the case." Cang Ji put the stone villain under his head and raised his legs and said, "Can you still enter this place? The monk in the Drunk Mountain is afraid that he is setting up defenses everywhere, just waiting for you to fall into the trap."

"The Division Department takes care of everything, but it doesn't care about the murder case." Jinglin raised his head slightly, and saw that the constable from the government office was entering and leaving the hospital, so he turned around and went elsewhere.

The guy was stretching his neck to watch the fun. When he was hit by someone, he immediately turned his head and said angrily: "No eyes"

Jinglin was covered in a beautiful body, with arrogance and nobleness between his eyebrows. He leaned against the side, looked in the head, and said with great interest: "Why, the one who hits you is not someone else, but the God of Wealth."

The guy reacted keenly and changed the scarf and plaster to the side, squeezed out with a smile, and said to Jinglin, "It's not the God of Wealth! Grandpa is so angry that he has never been here on weekdays, right? A few days ago, the government office posted a notice saying that a family of people died, and that they are here."

"No wonder they are all crowded here." Jinglin glanced at the person next to him with disgust in his eyes, pulled out a pars from his sleeve, covered his mouth and nose slightly, raised his eyebrows, "Where are you waiting to pick up the story?"

"The little runner is just a mouth, how dare you get over it." The guy smiled, "The store is just over there, a few steps away. Grandpa is free, so you can go and sit there too!"

"It's easy to say." Jinglin said, "Who is living here?"

"This family's surname is Chen. Old Man Chen takes his sick wife and sells candy on the street all day long." The guy pointed to Jinglin, "He is right at the door of our store and meets often. He has a son named Chen Ren, and Chen Ren's wife is Zhou. This is not the end. There is also a little girl in the family, seven or eight years old, who is the little girl left behind by Old Man Chen's daughter who died of prematurely. The family of five is all based on the sugar sold by Old Man Chen every day. Where can you say this be possible? The family is barely covered, and Old Mrs. Chen often asks people to borrow rice and grain."

"Where is my son?" Jinglin really got an appetite.

The guy, Nunu, said, "Chen Ren was scrambling in the gambling house over there all day, owing a lot of debts and was beaten more than one or two times. I want to tell me that this case was mostly done by the gambling house people. Last month, I saw them forcing them to the door of the Chen family. Old Man Chen kowtowed several times before sending them off. They were all desperate people."

Jinglin glanced at the gambling hall and smiled: "The desperate is so easy to fool, can you turn around with just a few sounds? That's better than begging."

"Grandpa, you are wise!" The guy praised the person and said with a smile, "It is because after that time, Donglin often wanders around the Chen family. I'm afraid that the gambling hall can't swallow it, so he called Donglin to wait for an opportunity to take revenge."

"Donglin?" Jinglin asked.

"It's not him." The guy whispered in his ears, "It's famous in the world! It's great at kung fu, and it's gone without a trace. The wanted orders from the yamen are everywhere, but no one has been caught yet. But the one who runs the hall is just right. I heard that he lives in the town. Where do you think he always rests?" The guy winked, "In the kiln in Dongxiang, it's said that he's getting along with a woman named Hua Di."

Jinglin had not yet noticed it, but Cang Ji sat up suddenly in his sleeve.

Jinglin asked again: "What is this person doing?"

The guy whispered: "The thief in Jiangyang has many big cases under his command."

"Thieves." Cang Ji bit out these two words and sneered at the stone villain, "I said why does the room have a familiar smell."

The guy wanted to say it, but someone picked it up from behind. He staggered his body with a "ouch" and shouted: "Which God of Wealth is this?"

When he turned around, he saw a familiar face, his legs and feet became weak, and he said flatteringly than when he saw Jinglin: "Captain Gu! Are you handling the case?"

Gu Shen held the knife with one hand. He was not young and his eyes were particularly sharp. He mentioned the friend to him, but Yu Guang was looking at Jinglin and said, "I heard you speak so well. Go directly to the yamen and make a confession."

"What's wrong with me!" The guy was shocked and said in a hurry, "You can find someone on this street that is more familiar than me! That Master Qian, don't Master Qian live next door to Old Man Chen? You go find him!"

"I've been there early in the morning." Gu Shen handed the clerk to his subordinate behind him, shook his waist card, wiped his hands, and raised his chin as if he was normal, and smiled roughly, "You are so handsome."

This person has a double eyebrow, and I am afraid that even ordinary monsters will not dare to look at him.

Jinglin's veil was still not moving, but still half-covered his mouth and nose. When he narrowed his eyes, a smile flowed out, which seemed to be unrestrained.

"I am a kind-hearted and obedient person, and I am afraid that all adults should be faced with me."

Gu Shen laughed, turned to look at the alley, and said, "Young Master is also interested in this person's murder case?"

"Natural." Jinglin said, "I have never encountered it before, it is very novel."

"This is a case of silence, the bodies are scattered and tragic." Gu Shen pointed at the hilt of the knife, "Shouldn't ordinary people be afraid?"

"What are you afraid of?" Jinglin responded to the move, "How can I be afraid of hearing things? There are so many rumors that three people become tigers, so I will wait for the adults to find out the truth."

Gu Shen rubbed the stubble on his chin and said, "Young Master is curious, and he doesn't ask me about it. This case is now in my hands. I know much more than the guys."

Jinglin took the handkerchief and turned his head slightly, his expression faded a little, and said, "How many beads do you want? No need to go around the corner, just say it bluntly."

The yamen's constables are no longer as hard as the rest. They are only worth twenty silver beads in the end of a year, and they are just miscellaneous stickers. The yamen does not pay monthly money, which has led to the fact that the constables in various places are extorted by their positions.

Gu Shen was stunned, then raised his head and laughed, raised his hand and waved it, and said, "Young Master looked down on Gu. What are the beads? Don't ruin my name. Sorry, I'm abrupt just now."

He wanted to say something, but he heard the person behind him reminding him: "Brother, Liu Shirong is here."

Gu Shen hugged Jinglin and said goodbye. Jinglin nodded and saw him turn around and walk away.

"This person is not easy to fool." Cang Ji said, "Are people so keen? I see that he almost never pointed at the knife. Jinglin, he is seducing you."

Jinglin was still staring at Gu Shen's back and said, "This case is confusing, and he still needs to find some clues in front. What did you say in your sleeve just now?"

"The thief who took the copper bell was Donglin. He really had something to do with this case." Cang Ji hugged his shoulders, "What did he do to kill the Chen family? This family is so poor that they beg for food, so they can't give him any money."

"Maybe it was entrusted by someone." Jinglin said, "It is not impossible to have money to make the devil push the mill, and it is not impossible for him to buy him in a gambling house to commit crimes."

"But he took the little girl away?" Cang Ji said, "Why not silence me?"

Jinglin thought silently and finally said, "It is rare to get the whole picture based on one side of the word, and there are still people."

Qian Weishi shivered and kept wiping his palms. The water in the basin was still clear, but he seemed to have impure filth. The more he wiped, the harder he rubbed his skin and red.

The door was suddenly knocked, Qian Weishi suddenly stood up and knocked the basin to the ground. He quickly packed it up in fear, and asked softly, "Who?"

"Master Qian, I'm upset." Gu Shen's waist sign swayed between the cracks in the door.

Qian Weishi clenched his fists vigilantly, supported the door, exposed his eyes from the crack, and said, "I have told you everything I know about you. What else can I do if you ask me?"

Gu Shen only smiled and said roughly: "Some things must be heard by the Master again."

Qian Weishi swallowed saliva in Gu Shen's eyes. He removed the door bolt and opened the door. Gu Shen stepped through the door, looked at the yard casually, and said, "I didn't pay attention in the morning. The Master's courtyard wall is not high, so it is easy to attract thieves."

Qian Weishi's yard is close to Chen's family. In fact, the walls of this area are not tall. People of similar size can see clearly the situation in the courtyard of their neighbors by just standing on tiptoe. Chen's family is stuck in the alley, and inward is an old widow with a grandson, and outward is Qian Weishi.

Qian Weishi followed Gu Shen and said, "It is necessary to increase the number of lives that a person has died."

Gu Shen said again: "Where are you washing your hands? You haven't eaten yet."

Qian Weishi reluctantly glanced at him and said, "I just looked at the corpse with the adults. I'm afraid I can't eat anything these days."

"I have handled countless cases, and it's the first time I'm so cruel. Killing and dismembering people is shocking."

Qian Weishi signaled to sit down at Gu Shen, and Gu Shen sat down with a golden sword. He said, "Don't talk about it, and then I will gossip about the offerings given to me in the yamen."

Qian Weishi sat upright and was calm when he spoke. He was nearly forty years old, but he still had tender skin. It can be seen that he had few wind and frost on weekdays. He was thin and looked like a woman with no power to tie a chicken to Gu Shen.

"That night, I came back early because I finished school and drank some wine and slept harder than usual. In the first half of the night, I heard the noise of the wind, which made me half asleep and half awake. I was shocked to find that I had not closed the window, so I stood up in my clothes. When I closed the window, I heard the noise of Chen Yuan, and I thought it was Chen Ren who had returned home." Qian Weishi frowned unconsciously, "Chen Ren has always loved gambling, and even robbed the coffin of the two elders of gambling. If I don't go home for a long time, I must be for money. This person also has the habit of beating and scolding his parents and his wife, so he would make noise every time he went home. I was drunk and the scolding continued. I was upset and I was annoyed for a moment, so I blocked my ears." He said this and covered his face, choked, "But how could I know that someone had died the next night. I was poor Cao Yu, and he was caught. She was only seven years old, and I don't know what the murderer was intended."

Gu Shen said nothing.

Qian Weishi made a little rectification, and his eyes were red when he looked up. He said, "Chen Ren is such a bastard! He was the one who harmed the family. This person is full of evil deeds and is not worth jealous of death. It's a pity that he still wants to take others with me. It's really heartbreaking."

"I heard from the guy that Chen Ren owes a lot of debts to the gambling hall."

"Sixteen golden beads." Qian Weishi wiped his eyes, "I can't afford to buy grass rain!"

Chen Caoyu is the little girl from the Chen family.

"This case is brutal. Before it is solved, Master must be careful. Don't go out to teach books in the past few days. The yamen will come to find you at any time." Gu Shen stood up and suddenly turned his head when he was about to leave, handing to Mori a handkerchief, "Master, wipe the sweat behind his neck."

Qian Weishi's shock almost instantly turned into fear. He responded slowly and touched the veil, nodded in a hurry, and said, "Thank you, thank you."

Gu Shen said goodbye with his fists and crossed the door and left. As soon as he left, Qian Weishi calmed down. The Master frowned and stared at the handkerchief in his hand for a moment, and finally realized a little dissonance.

When will Gu Shen, who is used to being called "I'm a slap" when knocking on the door? The government office remembers his confession clearly. If Gu Shen wants to see it, he can see it at any time, so why should he go there? He is a person suspected by the yamen. Gu Shen also needs to make a special trip to say hello to him and tell him "don't go out"?

Qian Weishi burst into cold sweat and even his hair stood up.

The person who came was not Gu Shen, who was it?!

When "Gu Shen" stepped out of the alley, he missed the street vendors, and instantly lifted up like a cocoon, revealing a pair of affectionate peach blossom eyes.

Jinglin pinched his throat and buckled it.

Cang Ji whispered to the stone villain: "Look at him, he is obviously more powerful than me."
