did not meet tonight

Chapter 172 Reaction

Yu Yuanyuan really wanted to bite off her own tongue, but she thought that Ye Jian stayed with Xiao Yu every day, getting close to Zhu Zhechi, and even changed his lackluster personality before. I dare to love his open-mindedness because he didn't know it at all!

Seeing that she didn't speak for a long time, Ye Jian felt more and more that something was wrong, and asked: "Yuan Yuan, you are talking, what does the reporter at the door have to do with us?"

Now they are in the Chen family, Chen Zhe didn't say anything, and she didn't dare to make a claim, and with Ye Jian's character, she really didn't dare to tell him rashly.Seeing Ye Jian's eager eyes, she took two steps back, and said in a hey voice, "Azhe called me just now and said that there is something to help over there, so I'll go there first."

"Wait, you finish talking before you leave!" Ye Jian said while tugging at her.

Yu Yuanyuan didn't dare to carry such a big pot on her body. She saw that Xiao Yu seemed to have finished talking with Chen Jing, and was getting up and walking towards here. She rolled her eyes twice, pointed there and said, "Brother Xiao seems to be there calling you!"

Ye Jian looked back subconsciously, Yu Yuanyuan broke away from his hand at this moment, and ran very fast.Ye Jian came back to his senses and raised his legs to chase after him, but seeing Ah Zhen's strange eyes in the distance, he could only stop abruptly.Xiao Yu saw Yu Yuanyuan's fleeing back and asked, "What's wrong with you?"

"I want to know too." Ye Jian said helplessly.

Chen Jing held her skirt and walked to them, bowed slightly, and then ran back to the house with a blushing face. When Ah Zhen closed the door, she still looked at them thoughtfully.Ye Jian said: "Forget it, let's forget about it, how did you ask just now?"

Xiao Yu signaled to leave this place first, they chose a relatively remote path and walked, the surrounding was very quiet, only the sound of wind blowing with fallen leaves.Only then did Xiao Yu say: "She admitted that the person she saw that night was Chen Tai, and the reason why she didn't inform others was that she was afraid of being blamed by Chen Qiankun."

"Then did she say why she went there?" Ye Jian still remembered the scream, and he always felt that Chen Jing's presence there had something to do with it.

"She said she was looking for a cat in the past, because it was Chen Qiankun's residence. She didn't dare to go in and ask, so she searched nearby. She didn't expect to meet you. Chen Tai's sudden appearance surprised her even more. She didn't dare Only when you stay, you choose to escape." Xiao Yu said, these are Chen Jing's original words.

"She didn't mention that voice?" Ye Jian asked in surprise.

"No, she said she didn't hear anything." Xiao Yu said.

Ye Jian frowned and thought hard: "This is wrong, she is outside the courtyard wall, why can't she hear such an obvious scream? Is it really my illusion?"

"There is another possibility that she is lying." Xiao Yu said calmly.

"But why did she do this?" Ye Jian didn't want to understand.

"There are many reasons. Maybe it's because she has other reasons, or maybe it's to protect someone." Xiao Yu has come into contact with too many prisoners and witnesses. Fake.

"So Chen Tai's death really has something to do with her?" Even though he had expected it, Ye Jian was still surprised.

Xiao Yu thought for a while and said, "Tomorrow is Chen Tai's funeral, so how about it, I'll go to visit Mr. Chen later, you go back to your room first, and then contact me if you have anything to do."

Ye Jian was still thinking about what Yu Yuanyuan said just now, and asked, "By the way, besides the murder case, what else did the reporters at the gate come for? Have you heard of it?"

No wonder Yu Yuanyuan ran so fast just now. It turned out that it was because of this incident. Xiao Yu pretended to glance at his watch and said, "It's getting late, I'll go there first."

As he said that, he turned to leave by another road, Ye Jian looked at his back and felt more and more uncertain, could those reporters really have something to do with them?

Xiao Yu went straight to Chen Qiankun's residence. Although he had recuperated for a few days, Chen Qiankun's complexion was still not very good. When Xiao Yu came, he was being checked by a doctor. When he saw the situation, he asked the doctor to stop first, and said with a smile: "Xiao Yu , how did you come here?"

"I just came back from the mountain, Uncle Chen, how is your health? Are you feeling better?" Xiao Yu asked politely.

"It's still the same. As long as this person gets older, he won't be very useful. He doesn't want to worry about small things, but he can't worry about big things." Chen Qiankun sighed as he spoke, "I've lived most of my life, and the loess is almost buried The root of my neck is broken, I never thought that when I was old, I would send a white-haired person to a black-haired person..."

"Life can't be resurrected, so you should mourn and take care of yourself. The most important thing is to take care of your body." Xiao Yu comforted.

"After these things, I have also figured it out a lot. The most important thing in this world is not how much money you earn or how big a house you live in, but your family and the prosperity of everything. I am old, and I really should let go of what should be let go. I I plan to formally hand over the Chen family to A Zhe after Artest's funeral is over." Chen Qiankun signaled Xiao Yu to sit down, and said earnestly, "Xiao Yu, you and A Zhe are similar in age, and there will be more people in the future. There are many opportunities to deal with each other, and there are so many things happening in the manor, now is the time when we need help, I hope you can stay these few days and help Ah Zhe through this difficult time."

"Chen Zhe has outstanding ability, I believe he can handle all these well." Xiao Yu said.

"How can I not understand my son? The biggest problem with Ah Zhe is his lack of courage. If he can handle half of your ability, I don't need to worry so much." Chen Qiankun said with a sigh.

"Uncle Chen is serious. It is because of the working environment that I have developed the current habit of doing things. Chen Zhe has his way of thinking. In my opinion, this is exactly his advantage." What Xiao Yu said was both polite and polite. Actually, although Chen Zhe was not calm enough, he was far more humane than Chen Qiankun. In some things, this was indeed an advantage.

"Fortunately, Ah Zhe is still willing to think about the overall situation. Although the girl Yu Yuanyuan comes from a mediocre background, she has a pretty good personality. As a woman, the most important thing is to be able to bear children. Ah Zhe has notarized her property. Even if she is It's for money, and I won't get anything from the Chen family in the future." Chen Qiankun made no secret of his contempt for Yu Yuanyuan in his tone, as if she was really a tool, a tool for carrying on the family line.

Xiao Yu obviously didn't want to hear these words, so he changed the topic and said, "Tomorrow is the funeral, and there should be many people coming and going in the manor. There have been three murders in a row. I hope Uncle Chen can strengthen security tomorrow."

"You mean the murderer is still in the manor?" Chen Qiankun frowned.

"According to my speculation, the murderer knows the manor very well. He should have lived here for many years. After the murder, no one left the manor, so I believe he is still here." Xiao Yu said.Although his words made sense, Chen Qiankun was very unhappy to hear: "The Chen family has a strict family tradition, and any servant has to go through strict screening to work in the village. They would never dare to do such a thing."

"But the murderer is not necessarily a servant." Xiao Yu said straightforwardly.

"What do you mean by that?" Chen Qiankun's face has already turned down.

"Uncle Chen, I'm a policeman. It's one of my jobs to infer conclusions based on facts. I'm not sure that this is correct, but it is indeed the biggest possibility at present."

"That's impossible!" Chen Qiankun vetoed it flatly, "If you say that the murderer is among the servants, there is still some credibility, but what you are saying now is simply a fantasy! I will kill myself Son, or is it that Ah Zhe will kill his brother? Xiao Yu, I know that these three murders are of great importance, and if they are solved, it will be of great help to your career, but you can't just talk about it and turn black and white!"

Chen Qiankun has a very stubborn temper, and he has always said what he says. No one dares to disobey him. If others heard his angry words, they would have been frightened into silence. It's a pity that the person sitting opposite him The person is Xiao Yu.Xiao Yu is a very principled person, he will not change his mind just because of threats or slander, and it is not uncommon for him to meet such people who do not want to believe the facts.

"Uncle Chen misunderstood me. I am not responsible for these cases. Even if they are solved, the credit will not be on me. To the Chen family, I am just a guest and I can stay out of the world, but just like Uncle Chen As I said, the relationship between our Xiao and Chen families is extraordinary, and there are still many places that we need to communicate in the future. I can understand Uncle Chen's mood, so I hope to catch the murderer as soon as possible. This is not only for the dead, but also It's for the current Chen family." Xiao Yu said neither humble nor overbearing, with firm eyes, making people believe his words for no reason.

Chen Qiankun fell silent, and said after a long time: "Tell me why you think the murderer is among us."

Xiao Yu briefly explained his suspicions, including the murder method and the method of disposing of the corpse. The more Chen Qiankun heard it, the more ugly his face became, and the hand holding the teacup trembled slightly.He really didn't want to believe it, but Xiao Yu's words forced him to believe that since Lu Baoqian, the murderer had woven a net, and there were not only them, but also the murderer himself.

"Everyone is suspicious now, including me." Xiao Yu said, "There is no motive for killing people. Uncle Chen might as well think about it carefully. Who is related to the three of them."

Chen Qiankun didn't seem to hear his words, his expression was wandering, there were only the two of them in the room, and the atmosphere was terribly depressed.Xiao Yu waited quietly, waiting for Chen Qiankun's answer.As time passed, Chen Qiankun suddenly stood up as if awakened from a dream, and said, "No! This is impossible! I won't believe your fabricated words!"

His emotions were almost out of control, and his eager denial seemed to be trying to cover up something. Xiao Yu insisted: "But this is the biggest possibility right now."

"Enough! No matter what you say, I won't believe such unsubstantiated words!" Chen Qiankun's voice was obviously angry, "You are still young, and you will inevitably be attracted by utilitarianism. I don't care about what happened today. I will argue, but I can only stop here, I don’t want to hear the same words again! After tomorrow’s funeral, if you have nothing to do, you can go first, young people still have to focus on work.”

He also said earlier that he hoped that Xiao Yu would stay and help Chen Zhe tide over the difficulties, but now he issued an order to evict the guest in a blink of an eye, and he did not care about the friendship between the two families.Before Xiao Yu could speak, Chen Qiankun continued: "I've heard about the reporters at the door. Although this is your private matter, it will inevitably affect the reputation of the Chen family if it happens here. You can't appear in public. It's better to hide more things, because if it is really exposed, it will be of no benefit to any of you."

This obviously means to let Xiao Yu leave as soon as possible, and don't involve personal matters in the Chen family. Every word in the words is almost contemptuous, even if the other party is an elder, Xiao Yu's eyes are much deeper.He stood up and said, "I understand, I have been disturbed a lot these days, and I should really leave."

"The doctor is still waiting outside, so I won't see you off. You go back and pack your things first. After the funeral tomorrow, I will send someone to take you down the mountain. The police are busy with work, so they shouldn't stay here to delay business." Chen Qiankun said politely He twitched the corners of his mouth, his expression stiff like a drawn symbol.

Xiao Yu left from here, and when he walked out of the courtyard, the door slammed shut behind him, as if he was really unwelcome.He looked back and saw Chen Qiankun's gloomy face reflected in a window on the second floor, those eyes were staring straight at him, as if looking at his greatest enemy.The curtain was drawn, the face disappeared behind the glass, Xiao Yu looked back, the clouds covered the whole sky into a dull blue-gray, there were dark clouds rolling in the distance, it seemed that there would be another storm.
