Hearing what Chen Xing said, Gao Yayi was a little surprised. He didn't expect the owner of this small restaurant and the Chen family to have such a cause and effect.
Xu Shi Gao’s shock on the face was too obvious. Chen Xing hesitated for a while and then explained: “I didn’t agree to their request. Master Chen asked people to put pressure on the people below to prevent others from supplying rice and ingredients. We. Fortunately, with the help of good people a few days ago, our shop was able to come back to life and survive for some more time. I just don’t know if it’s because of this that caused this disaster."
Chen Xing's remarks were reasonable and well-founded. Gao Yayi also remembered the fact that this small restaurant had no rice to cook some time ago, so naturally he believed his words by three points. .He is not good at talking about other people’s family affairs, but arson has always been a case of rigorous investigation, so he looked at the gentle-faced little boss in front of him with a serious face, and promised: "Thank you for the information, please also Don't worry, boss, we will definitely catch the arsonist as soon as possible and give you an explanation."
"Then thank you, the official."
Seeing that Gao Yayi was about to lead the others away, Chen Xing hurriedly gave them the four packs of jerky that had been packaged in the shop just now. Until they refused and left with the jerky, he looked at the back of the four and muttered: "I hope they can catch the murderer sooner, otherwise there will always be a sense of trepidation."
Gu Lang glanced at the place where Chen Xing was looking, and said in a low voice: "I believe they will catch people soon, don't worry! After closing the shop, I will ask Qiu Jiu and the others to find the man, if they can If you find someone, you may be clear.Later, we will recall together, I drew a few portraits of that person so that I could find that person. "
Chen Xing felt that what Gu Lang said was reasonable, and nodded without much entanglement, "Yeah."
Seeing that Chen Xing's face improved a lot, Gu Lang didn't look as tangled as he had been before, and the corners of his lips also showed a smile. It's just that this smile stopped alive when the leftover light swept over the wound on his wrist, he almost forgot the most important thing.
"We don't have anything to do right now. It's better to paint the portrait now, so as not to be too late for the memory of that person's appearance."
Chen Xing was still trying to think about the man's appearance, for fear that he had missed something. Later, he could not tell Gu Lang clearly, and he felt that his hand was being held up, and then he directly confronted Gu Lang. Painful expression on his face. ".No hurry, I'll give you some medicine first, lest your hands hurt when you are late. "
To Gu Lang's gaze, Chen Xing always felt a little uncomfortable. It was not a big deal, but it was bruised. He felt that there was no need to make such a fuss.
Gu Lang shook his head disapprovingly, and looked at the disobedient Chen Xing and said, "I can feel more at ease after taking the medicine."
Chen Xing's face flushed, and he didn't argue with Gu Lang any more, so he could only let him hold his hand and apply the ointment carefully.
Looking at the thin layer on his wrist, Chen Xing felt that the medicine was a little bit magical, and he always felt that when he applied it, there were still some fiery bruises, but they disappeared instantly. He turned his wrist curiously, and looked at Gu Lang, who was lowering his head and putting away the ointment, and said, "You bought this ointment there. How can it be so effective? It doesn't feel like it is applied at all."
.Gu Lang lowered his eyebrows, slowly put away the porcelain bottle, and said faintly: "I bought it when I was outside. By the way, let's paint the portrait, lest we run out of time later."
Hearing Gu Lang say this, Chen Xing didn't entangle too much, sitting next to him and accompany him to recall the appearance of the person today, and drew the appearance of that person. Originally, Chen Xing was worried that he would not remember well, and that he would not be able to draw the portrait well by the time. Who knew he hadn't said anything yet, Gu Lang drew the appearance of the young man in just a few strokes, making him stunned when he looked next to him.
After Gu Lang finished the first painting, he took it directly in front of Chen Xing and asked him, "Do you think it looks like it?"
.Chen Xing thinks that there are similarities here and there. It's just like a lot. He nodded like a chicken pecking at rice, and praised without hesitating words: "I have never seen a person draw with pen and ink before. It’s so like, you’re simply amazing."
Listening to Chen Xing’s sincere compliment, Gu Lang followed with a smile on his face. When the two of them looked at each other and laughed, and the atmosphere was very warm, a figure hurriedly ran in outside the door, and he came in. Just come straight to the counter.
"Boss, I have some useful news."
.Chen Xing was startled, but he fixed his eyes on Qiu Wu who was sent out to inquire about the news today. He saw his eyes staring at Chen Xing and the others with excitement, "My son, I'm going to find out today. It's in the yard. The lamp oil I found was extremely expensive, and only four families in the town could afford it, the Chen family, the Zhao family, the Shen family, and the Fu family."
Hearing the shadow of the Chen family in it, Chen Xing had a vague idea in his heart. He could use this matter to teach the Chen family a lesson. After all, what they have done during this period is also a bit too much. It's just that he only has clues that are not evidence. He feels that it is not enough, and he has to produce some real evidence before he can prove his speculation.
.Gu Lang listened beside him. After Qiuwu finished his words, he directly handed him the portrait he had just drawn, and said to him: "We know, next you take this painting, and Qiu Nine, they went to find someone together, and when they found someone, they brought it directly to Gu's house."
Qiu Wu took the portrait, looked at the young man on it, nodded confidently, "Boss, don't worry, I will bring you back soon."
After Gu Lang nodded, Qiu Wu ran away violently. It seemed that he had gone to work with Qiu Jiu.
After Qiuwu left, Chen Xing looked at Gu Lang with excitement in his eyes, "I remember that arson is a felony. If the Chen family did it then, what punishment would they be punished?"
Although Chen Xing received the original body, he was not himself after all, and naturally did not have any sense of belonging to the Chen family. .Later, when they exchanged him for goods to Gu Lang and arrived at Gu Lang's betrothal gifts, he felt that even if it was the kindness of birth, he would have paid it off for the original body.
Today's Chen family can only be regarded as strangers to him, and these strangers have repeatedly attacked their small shop for something that does not belong to them. He feels that this is already him. The bottom line. It's not that he won't fight back, but he hasn't found a chance to fight back yet. Seeing that there was an opportunity right in front of him, he couldn't help but feel a little excited.
Gu Lang didn't understand why Chen Xing was so excited just now. He just looked at his bright eyes and thought about it for a while, thinking about how he could not hold him so big without damaging his enthusiasm. Look forward to. It’s just that he thought for a long time, and finally decided to tell the truth.
."We still need more evidence. The Chen family setting fire is only our guess, and we still don’t even know who set the fire. If we find out that the fire is really related to the Chen family at that time, But as long as they find someone to commit the crime at will, then we still have no way to use them."
At first, Chen Xing was just thinking about the tragedy of the Chen family. He didn't even think of the option of finding someone to carry the pot. Now when Gu Lang reminded him, he immediately became nervous and asked in a panic: "Then we should How to do?"
Gu Lang looked at him, curled the corners of his lips, straightened out the broken hair on his cheeks, and said in a low voice, "Naturally, I found out who set the fire before starting to start the snake."
.Chen Xing looked at Gu Lang's smile, his eyes flickered a few times, not knowing if it was his illusion, he always felt that Gu Lang's smile was a bit strange just now, as if he was planning some kind of huge conspiracy.
###
In the next two days, neither the Yamen nor the Qiu Jiu who went out brought any news from either side.
This made Chen Xing a little irritable, and even began to wonder if he couldn't find any clues, would this matter become more and more uncontrollable over time.
Sitting on a chair in the backyard, Chen Xing sighed silently, looking at the back kitchen that had already been repaired in front of him.
.Just when Chen Xing was thinking about whether he would be driven out if he went to the yamen in person, Qiu Jiu, who had been out for two days, suddenly ran back, stood in front of him, and said excitedly: "Little boss, you want We have caught the person we are looking for. Would you like to go over and take a look?"
Hearing Qiu Jiu's words, Chen Xing's eyes lit up immediately. He was already too excited, and subconsciously ignored the word'grab' in Qiu Jiu's tone. He just said with excitement: "You have found someone. where are you?"
Qiu Jiu was not at all vague, and said directly: "Don't you let the son send us to the review mansion after we catch the person? He is there now, and the son is interrogating."
"Go, let's go back quickly!"
When Chen Xingfei ran back home and saw the two young people who might have known it, he was almost taken aback. .The clothes that were originally clean were as if they were rolling in mud, and the two ordinary faces were covered with traces of bruise, which seemed to have suffered a lot of crimes.
Chen Xing's excitement subconsciously eased a lot, and even the steps he walked in became lighter, until he came to Gu Lang, poked the expressionless man, and whispered: "How did they respond? What happened, Qiu Jiu and the others did it?" Although he wanted to know the truth of the matter, he also felt that violence was not desirable!
Gu Lang just glanced at Chen Xing and quickly understood what he was thinking. He shook his head and replied faintly: "No, they fell by themselves."
"Then they fell a little bit cruel!" Chen Xing sighed, seeing the two men faintly looking at him, suddenly coughed with a guilty conscience, and immediately changed the subject: "Did you ask?"
.Gu Lang shook his head and said calmly: "I want to wait for you to ask. Don't worry, they promised just now that they will answer honestly no matter what you ask."
Chen Xing felt that Gu Lang's words were a little weird, but for a while he couldn't figure out what was wrong, so he didn't think about it. He came to the two men neatly, cleared his throat, and said unceremoniously: "Did you two set the fire in our shop?"
Hearing his words, the two looked at Gu Lang behind Chen Xing in fear, and shook their heads desperately.
Chen Xing frowned, and then said: "It wasn't the two of you who set the fire. Then how did you behave like a guilty conscience last time, do you know who set the fire?"
.At this time, the two young people looked at each other, and then the young man who took the initiative to speak with Chen Xing last time took the initiative to speak, "We are not sure if that person set the fire. We have to make sure these days. , I was arrested by you, no, I was invited back."
He said that he carefully looked at the man behind him. He didn't know what this man came from. Anyway, he looked gentle and weak, and there were so many torture methods. It was really terrifying.
Chen Xing didn't notice his strangeness, but felt that what they said was a bit strange. After thinking about it, he still said, "It wasn't you who did it. Why did you run so fast last time?"
.When the young man heard Chen Xing's question, his expression was tangled, and then he turned his head and glanced at his companion. After seeing him nodding towards him, he gritted his teeth and said their plan, "Originally, we planned to use this From the beginning, to blackmail a sum. So when you asked us that day, we didn't speak."
Chen Xing didn't think it was the reason at all, but then he also wanted to understand it, probably because he thought it would be no good to tell him, but it was different to blackmail them. They could get a lot of money. But this also shows in a disguised form that the person they want to blackmail should be richer than them, otherwise the two of them would not be able to stay close.
Chen Xing didn't have the patience to go around, he just looked at them and asked bluntly: "Is the person you are talking about from the Chen family, or who is from the Chen family?"
.The young man and his accomplices glanced at each other, and then said a little entangled: "We don't know who it is, but we watched that man came out of the inner courtyard and entered the door of Chen's house all the way. It should be Are you from the Chen family?"
When asked about this, Chen Xing then asked: "How tall, how old, and what are the characteristics?"
The young man recalled, his face was a little weird, but he answered honestly, "The two of them don’t look very tall, the figures of ordinary women, and when I saw them go in, everyone else was very polite, feeling The leader should still have a higher status in that mansion. The person behind her called her a young lady. By the way, the person at the front desk still wears a veil. He seems to be only sixteen or seventeen in age."
.Hearing the young man’s description, Chen Xing flashed a savage figure in his mind for a moment, and then he was blinded for a moment. He muttered in disbelief: "Impossible!? How could it be her?
