The Prodigal Son’s Happy Life - Chapter 491

[Chapter 491 Recognition]

“If not”

the watchman stopped just after he started speaking.

He raised his eyes, looked at Fang Xiu, his expression was a little stiff, and he squeezed out a smile and said: “My lord, you are joking with the little old man. How could the little old man have the courage to kill Mrs. Chen?

The little old man has the courage .”

, I don’t have that strength.

With such a weak body, any yellow-haired kid could fall over with just one push, let alone Mrs. Chen.” When

Fang Xiu heard this, he looked at the watchman, smiled, and asked: “ Have you met Mrs. Chen? “

Chen Tong is not particularly eye-catching among the many civil and military officials in the capital, let alone his wife.

Fang Xiu only heard about her after she got into trouble this time. How could a small watchman have heard of her.

If you haven’t heard of it, how can you see it?

Fang Xiu didn’t know why Xia Yixue interrogated this watchman, but he knew that the watchman had lied when he answered the question just now.

One shoulder shakes slightly, the eyes are always looking at the other person, the pupils are slightly dilated, and the voice is slightly raised when repeating words.

These are typical micro-movements that occur when lying.

The appearance of one or two may be a coincidence, but with so many appearing at the same time, there is only one explanation.

The watchman was not resting when Mrs. Chen was killed.

Why did he lie?

What is the connection between him and the murder of Mrs. Chen?

Fang Xiu only used a few tricks to reveal his flaws.

If not,

if not what?

Fang Xiu looked into the watchman’s eyes, still maintaining the original faint smile on his face.

At this moment, the watchman calmed down again and replied: “The little old man has never met Mrs. Chen. He only heard something about Mrs. Chen from others after that incident happened.

Although the little old man I have never seen Mrs. Chen, but the little old man looks like, no matter who he is, as long as he is not sick and unable to move, he will be better than the little old man.”

When he said these words, he was very calm .

, there is nothing unnatural about his expression.

However, what he said was true.

The watchman looked to be sixty rather than seventy.

In ancient times, there were not many ordinary people who could live to this age.

Usually there are, and they all belong to the families of princes and nobles. It is extremely difficult for someone like him to still be alive.

The only thing he could do on weekdays was to do a dozen shifts, even though he was trembling when he walked, let alone murdering a relatively young lady.

Fang Xiu nodded and did not deny what he said.

There was no denial and no confirmation at the same time. In fact, he didn’t reply at all.

Just looking at the watchman, his expression remained the same, with a faint smile.

One minute, two minutes, five minutes.

Finally, half the time for burning incense has passed. The watchman showed an unnatural expression on his face, looked at Fang Xiu, and asked: “Sir, if there is nothing else, can I go first?” Take a step back?”

Fang Xiu looked at him, smiled, and waved his hand: “Okay, you can go back first. I will let you know if there is any progress in Mrs. Chen’s case.” When

the watchman heard this, his expression changed again. stiff.

He really wanted to ask, what was the relationship between Mrs. Chen’s case and the little old man? Why should he inform the little old man if there was any progress?

After thinking about it, he finally held back, bowed and staggered away.

The watchman’s rickety back gradually disappeared around the corner of the Kyoto Prefectural Government Office.

Xia Yixue stood up, walked to Fang Xiu, looked at him, and asked, “How did you see that there was something wrong with him?”

Fang Xiu shook his head and said, “I didn’t see it. I just asked some questions casually and had a chat.” Homely.”

Xia Yixue raised her eyebrows slightly when she heard this, but did not ask any further questions.

When Fang Xiu was questioning the watchman just now, she had been watching quietly from the side.

When I heard Fang Xiu ask: “Why did you kill Mrs. Chen?”

As an outsider, her heart trembled.

She never thought that Fang Xiu would ask such a seemingly incomprehensible question at this time.

At the same time, in just a moment, she understood Fang Xiu’s purpose of doing this.

I also understood why he had to talk to this watchman about so many irrelevant things before.

I said so much just to make the watchman relax his vigilance and enter his own rhythm. The key to everything lies in the last question.

It’s not a great skill, but it’s very useful.

In fact, this time it had a remarkable effect.

If nothing else, at least there are new clues in this case.

When a normal person hears Fang Xiu’s question, they will definitely react immediately.

The reason is simple. Since you are not involved in this case, you must know nothing about this case. Even if you want to answer it immediately, you don’t know what to say.

However, what the watchman just answered was not, ‘What Mrs. Chen? ‘

but ‘if not’.

Therefore, even if the watchman was not the one who killed Mrs. Chen, he must have been involved or knew something.

I thought Fang Xiu would continue to ask questions, and pressed forward step by step.

But he didn’t expect that he would let the watchman go so easily.

At this moment, even Xia Yixue had to admit that the guy in front of her didn’t seem to know anything about catching people.

“What are you doing here?”

At this time, Xia Yixue suddenly remembered something.

This is the Kyoto Prefectural Government Office, why does he appear here.

However, when I thought about it, it wasn’t always normal for him to appear anywhere.

Fang Xiu waved his hand, continued to lie on the chair, and said, “Nothing, I just wanted to see how the case was progressing and help you by the way.”

Xia Yixue frowned when she heard this.

She once said that this was a matter between the Kyoto Prefecture and the Ministry of Justice and had nothing to do with the Qinjun Prefecture.

However, after seeing what happened just now, she actually already had a certain recognition of Fang Xiu’s ability in her heart.

Apart from anything else, it can be said that this case has reached a deadlock to a certain extent.

Master Chen Tong’s enemies can basically be eliminated.

They all had alibi evidence during this period.

Moreover

, the dispute in the court had not intensified to such an extent that it was necessary to hurt the other party’s wife.

The returns received are completely out of proportion to the investment.

There is no fool who can stand on the court.

There is no way anyone would do such a thing.

Everyone that Mrs. Chen came into contact with on weekdays was also investigated one by one, but the result was also nothing.

Finally, it came to the point where we could only look for clues from people who had been around that mansion during that time.

If Fang Xiu hadn’t appeared here today, I’m afraid this case would have become an unsolved case in the end.
