"If Qian Weishi is an official, he can only trust five points."

Gu Shen spread out the files, walked around the table, and said: "This man is weird, his expression flustered when he spoke, and his eyes flickered, as if he was afraid that I would not doubt him."

"Brother, maybe he has ghosts in his heart, and he is afraid when he sees you." The subordinate stuffed a few mouthfuls of steamed buns and said.

"Is he afraid of me?" Gu Shen sneered, knocking on the table, "He's not afraid at all, he just makes you think he's afraid. This man is a ghost, he must have lied to something."

"But the neighbors around him all praised him. There are five families in this alley that are not unfavorable to him. Even if he is out of the alley, on that street, he can be respectfully called 'Master Qian'." A subordinate Swallowing the steamed buns with cold tea, he said, "Besides, I think his arms are thin, and if he wants to kill four people, it may be difficult to do it overnight."

"Is he from Jingzhen?"

"No. He is a native of the West Road. Five years ago, there was a severe drought on the West Road. He escaped from the famine and settled here. However, several wealthy families in the town wanted to hire him to be a private husband in the garden. He refused, and stayed in the alley.” The subordinate also felt strange when he said this, “He is clearly at odds with Chen Ren, but he refuses to move out of this place. Moreover, Chen Ren once blackmailed him a lot because of debts and no money. Second-rate."

"How does he get along with the rest of the Chen family?"

"According to the neighbor's reply, Qian Wei is an official and approachable. Except for Chen Ren, he will help everyone in the Chen family if they ask for it." The subordinate flipped through the confession and said, "He treats the little girl of the Chen family. That seven-year-old Chen Caoyu is especially good."

Gu Shen closed the file and asked: "Then how does the Chen family treat Chen Caoyu?"

"Of course it's good." The gray-haired old widow pointed at her crutches and said to Jing Lin while walking tremblingly, "Cao Yu's mother has been liked by her parents since she was a child. When she was young, old man Chen often took his daughter out. .Although the walls of his house were bleak at that time, they were never tighter than his daughter's clothes and snacks. The dowry was prepared early, and the young people who proposed marriage would step on the threshold of his house. But the girl didn't know Why have you made a lifelong appointment with someone else in private, hey, before you even get out of the door, you got pregnant first."

The old widow was led by Jinglin, and she sighed: "But the girl ran away, and the girl couldn't get married. The girl died within a few days after the child was born. Old man Chen lost his sweetheart. Naturally, he wants to marry his little granddaughter." It hurts like an eyeball."

"I heard that the little girl's uncle is an incomprehensible person, how do you treat her on weekdays?"

"Okay." The old widow grabbed Jing Lin's wrist and said, "Don't misunderstand Chen Ren's treatment of Cao Yu just because of his reputation. Although Chen Ren is not a thing, he is very good to his niece. He got married early, but he never had a child. The doctor looked at it for a few days and said it was incurable. Since then, his wife Zhou has often told the little ladies in this area that Chen Ren still wants to choose a day to put Cao Yuguo took her own name and raised her as her own daughter."

"This is a pity." Jing Lin sent the old widow to the door and said, "This alley is deep, and you live here all the time. I'm afraid it will be very inconvenient."

"I've lived here for many years." The old widow took the food and said kindly to Jinglin, "Our Hong'er is sensible, so I don't worry about it at all."

As she was talking, she heard a seven or eight-year-old child running out of it.The child was fat and round, and when he saw Jing Lin, he immediately showed off his off-white teeth.

Jing Lin was being courteous, when Cang Ji in his sleeve whispered: "It's fat and tender, it must taste very good. Jing Lin..."

The stone villain punched Cang Ji, Cang Ji dodged his head and said, "Just think about it!"

Jing Lin was admitted to the hospital.The old widow's yard was smaller than the Chen's, and was blocked by a wall.A few stones were pressed under the low wall, probably because children often lie on the wall to look at the next door.

"Hong'er and Cao Yu often play together, and the two of them would lie on the wall and talk when they have nothing to do." The old widow saw Jing Lin looking at the stone, so she said.

"Success." Jing Lin smiled politely, "I'm leaving now, and I'll go to the yamen earlier, otherwise my brother will be in a hurry."

"Let's go, let's go." The old widow sent him out.

Jing Lin went out, and Cang Ji said: "This case is a mess. First, Dong Lin took the copper bell and realized that you and I were chasing, so he hid here and disappeared. Then the Raksha bird appeared and a family died. You Instead, I was followed by ghost guards, and then Drunken Mountain Monk was attracted. Now if you say that this case has nothing to do with Donglin, I don’t believe it. But if it has something to do with him, it’s like an irrelevant relationship.”

"He will definitely reveal some clues." Jing Lin said, "There is no perfect case in this world."

"People are really cunning." Cang Ji said, "I see that they all have different opinions, but this old lady is more honest."

"If you listen to one side, you will be dark." Jinglin said, "People are not only good at duplicity, but also very good at disguising."

Cang Ji was about to continue, but suddenly kept silent.

Jing Lin walked a few steps, and sure enough, he heard footsteps behind him.When he was about to leave the alley, someone grabbed his sleeve.Looking back, Jing Lin could not guess the joy and anger in his eyes.

"You are also from the yamen, are you investigating this case?" Ah Hong, who had just met, walked a few steps closer, hugged Jinglin's leg, raised his head and said innocently, "You buy me candy, and I will give it to you Tell a secret."

Jing Lin led Ah Hong and bought a lot of food.Cang Ji hated his teeth and felt angry, he looked at A Hong coldly, and felt that this fat boy should be eaten more and more.Because when he was a child, Jing Lin had never held him like this.

"He has become fat like a ball, can't he walk by himself?"

The little stone man sat on the side, took off the grass crown on his head and weaved it, and gestured to Cang Ji after hearing the words, which meant that you were once as fat as a ball.

Cang Ji said: "Am I the same as him? In your eyes, I am the same as him?"

The little stone man blinked and pretended not to understand.

Cang Ji said: "You and Jing Lin..."

The little stone man put the grass crown on his head, Cang Ji stopped talking for a while.This grass crown is precious, because when he saw Zongyin climbing the mountain, he didn't want to take off the stone.He has always been soft and not hard, so with the grass crown on his head, he can only forcefully support the small stone man and say: "He is ugly as hell, but I am fat and good-looking, do you understand?"

Jing Lin raised his eyebrows lightly, then turned to look at Ah Hong.It should not be the first time Ah Hong has asked someone for something, and he knows how to order things with ease.This child will be young next year, but at this time, he reveals a kind of philistine prematurely.

"What secret are you going to tell me?"

Ah Hong was sucking his finger, and his eyes just looked around.

"What else to eat, what to play, just tell me." Jing Lin said.

Ah Hong tiptoed up to the food stall, looked around for a while, and said, "I want to eat sugar man."

Apart from Old Man Chen, there is no one selling sugar on this street.Jing Lin didn't answer. Ah Hong waited for a while, and anxiously tugged on Jing Lin's sleeve, crying, "Sugar Man. If you don't give it to me, I won't tell you!"

"Then I won't listen." Jing Lin shook his sleeves and wanted to leave.

Ah Hong wailed instantly, he grabbed Jing Lin's sleeve and dragged him on the ground crying.

"If you don't give it to me!" Ah Hong said, "I told my grandmother, you are going to abduct me! You are going to abduct me!"

Cang Ji said coldly: "Not only that, I can also eat you."

Ah Hong thought it was Jing Lin who said it, he knew this kind of people clearly, and he was not afraid at all, he only thought that Jing Lin was scaring him.He was rolling, crying and crying, which attracted people to watch and laugh.

Jing Lin didn't want to be noticed, so he lifted Ah Hong's collar and walked across the crowd with a few steps.Ah Hong grabbed his arm, but he was thrown to the ground before he could grab it firmly.He hurt his butt from the fall, and burst into tears again.

"What secret are you going to say?" Jing Lin looked at him.

Ah Hong still wanted to cry, but felt cold all over.He couldn't help shivering, kicking his feet and staring with anger.

"Tell me the truth." Jing Lin slowed down his voice, grabbed Cang Ji from his sleeve, and waved it in front of Ah Hong's eyes, "I'll give you a puppet to play with."

Cang Ji was overwhelmed by defense, fixed in the air, not daring to move rashly.He caught sight of Ah Hong's snotty palm, which almost climbed back into Jing Lin's sleeve.Fortunately, Jing Lin just shook him and didn't hand it over.

Ah Hong didn't forget to wipe his nose during this tense time. He wiped away his tears and said intermittently: "I...I know who...killed people."

Jing Lin said "hmm".

Ah Hong whimpered and said: "I, I saw it. Let me tell you...you...you buy me candy again. I'm very scared...you...you tell others, Qian, Mr. Qian Killed!"

He is spying on Jing Lin, children are far more aware of a person's emotions than adults.But he didn't understand that such a terrible incident didn't change Jing Lin's face.

So Ah Hong screamed at Jing Lin: "Master Qian! You killed someone! There's a lot of blood! The red one is coming! It's in the yard."

Jing Lin knelt down and raised his index finger to signal him to be quiet.Ah Hong was panting, he was very annoyed that he didn't get the expected reaction, he stared and grabbed a handful of soil, but he didn't dare to throw it at Jing Lin.

"Tell me." Jing Lin said, "Are you and Chen Caoyu playmates?"

"No!" Ah Hong said bitterly, "No! She stinks to death." Before Jinglin could continue, Ah Hong rushed to say, "She is a bitch! Her mother is a bitch! Dirty and smelly, I am Don't play with her. She also lied to my wife's sweets, she loves to lie! I saw her run into the wife's yard, she ran into the wife's room, they hugged each other, and the teacher kissed her."

Jing Lin's eyes sharpened, and he heard Ah Hong say obscene words beyond his age in a childish voice full of malice and disgusting tone.

"Little whore." Ah Hong almost vomited, "Little whore!"

Jing Lin stood up abruptly, Cang Ji sensed that he was not in the right mood, seeing his gloomy and cold expression, he stared straight at Ah Hong.

"Money as an official?"

Ah Hong flinched and nodded vigorously.He spat to one side and said, "Disgusting! They took off their clothes..."

"You." Jing Lin leaned over him, "When did you see it?"

Ah Hong was shocked, he was so frightened that he burst into tears.But Jing Lin was firmly trapped in his body, he shook his head in confusion: "I don't remember, I don't remember! Many times, many times..."

Cang Ji didn't understand, why so many times, what's so disgusting?What are you doing undressing?What exactly did Qian Weishi do to Chen Caoyu, which made Jing Lin's complexion as cold as autumn frost, and even overflowed with murderous intent.

Gu looked through the file in the middle of the night, and his subordinate yawned and murmured on the desk: "Brother, you said you killed someone, why did you take Chen Caoyu away? A seven-year-old girl will only reveal her whereabouts if she is by her side. It’s still money for an official, there’s no reason to do that.”

Gu Shen's eyes were flushed, he said: "How do I know?" Then he paused for a moment, "...there have been a lot of kidnappers in recent years, and it is possible to take them away and sell them. But if they take them away and sell them, they will never win What Lin did."

"Why? Isn't he a thief himself, stealing things but not people?"

Gu Shen put down the file, looked up and said: "Because Donglin's girl was kidnapped, he has been running around all these years just to find his daughter. This kind of person will only hate the matchmaker to the bone."

When the subordinate thought of something, he gave Gu Shen a embarrassed look.

Gu Shen wiped his vicissitudes of face, and said with a snort, "Why do I understand him? Because I was kidnapped and sold."

It was inconvenient for the subordinates to comment, so they had to bury their heads in the confession room.He glanced at a line of words, and sat upright again with a cry of surprise.

"Brother." He said, "Why is there a confession here? I clearly didn't see it when I recorded it yesterday."

Gu Shen pulled out his hand, and said clearly: "To coax the child..." His voice faltered, and he sat up suddenly again, concentrating on reading the words.

"Does Qian Weishi often bring Chen Caoyu home?"

The subordinate nodded and said: "Not only does he often take the little girl home, but he often leads the little girl out."

The paper between Gu Shen's fingers was deeply crumpled, his face was livid, and he cursed: "...Damn it."
