Beauty has a disease

It was getting late, which meant that it was time to eat. Zhan Shuyun took Ember into a restaurant for dinner, and ordered a few signature dishes.

"Tell me?"

Ember was sitting near the door of the private room, Xiaoer brought up a pot of hot tea, poured it for the two of them and retreated, Zhan Shuyun looked at Ember and said, "Tell me what you think?"

Ember lowered his eyes and pushed the tea aside, then dipped his hand in some water and drew two circles on the table.

"This is Feng Ping." Ember pointed to one of the circles.

"The rest is her wife."

Ember drew a line between the two circles to connect them, and wrote the word "husband and wife" on the line.

"According to Feng Ping's wife, Feng Ping is a good person. He even concealed the fact that Feng Ping was dead. His mind is unclear."

"According to their neighbors, Feng Ping beat and scolded his wife afterwards, but she concealed this, and only said how harmonious and loving they were, whether it was because of money or other reasons."

Zhan Shuyun nodded from time to time while listening, "So?"

"So the woman lied."

This sentence is equivalent to nonsense, Zhan Shuyun tapped the table with his finger, "I'm handling the case, don't tease me by saying something or nothing."

"How could it be to tease you." Ember raised her hand and dipped some water again to circle the circle representing Mrs. Feng Ping repeatedly, "I haven't finished talking yet, sir, don't worry."

Ember clicked the circle, "She lied about Feng Ping's whereabouts for several reasons: Orphans and widows are not easy to deal with outsiders, or they have plots."

"Oh?" Zhan Shuyun raised his voice, "Have a plan? What is the plan?"

"I don't know." Ember replied bluntly, "Because I don't know, so I guess it's the first one—self-protection."

Zhan Shuyun was amused by Ember's alternative way of reasoning, he said with a half-smile, "Is this how you decide the case?"

As he said that, he nodded his head, "Speaking is just a mouth, and everything is made up?"

Because I don't know the reason of the second, it is directly attributed to the first guess, how can there be such a thing!
Ember snorted, "I call it intuition."

"What's more, if you can't guess it, why not make an inference based on the existing guesses?"

"go on."

Zhan Shuyun leaned back, leaned lazily on the back of the chair, pretended to be "I see what else you can say", and listened attentively.

"She will consciously protect herself, that woman is very vigilant."

People have the instinct to protect themselves, but what Ember said is that the woman can realize that she is a woman pulling the child, without a man, there will be a lot of troubles, after all, "a widow has a lot of troubles".

Of course, this "right and wrong" is not limited to gossip, and even life safety.

The woman was aware of this, so when she saw the face who didn't know the news of Feng Ping's death, she concealed it all.

"I can understand that concealing the news of death is to prevent danger, but how can such a cautious woman believe my nonsense so easily, believe that the money I said belonged to Feng Ping, and take it so easily?"

"Didn't you stuff the money into others' hands?" Zhan Shuyun couldn't help stabbing Ember.

Ember's analysis is good, and Zhan Shuyun can naturally see it. From the beginning, they mentioned Feng Ping's wife's reaction and the woman's recollection when they were invited into the house to drink tea. There was a stark contrast. The behavior of the woman is full of disobedience.

As for Zhan Shuyun's sting, he just wanted to piss off Ember, and didn't want to make her too happy.

As a result, Ember stopped talking.

"What else?" Zhan Shuyun couldn't help urging.

"There are still dishes coming, I'm hungry, I'll eat first."

Zhan Shuyun: "..."

After a meal, the two of them did not communicate with each other throughout the whole process, and they really carried out the principle of "don't talk when eating, don't talk when sleeping" until the checkout——

"I don't know who the two guest officers are paying the money? Sincerely three, two or four money." Xiaoer asked cheerfully.

After eating and drinking, Ember leaned back, pointed at Zhan Shuyun and said, "Look for him."

Xiao Er's eyes turned to Zhan Shuyun.

"Why did I pay for it?" Zhan Shuyun also leaned back, "I never said that I would treat you to dinner."

"No matter how bad it is, each pays for himself, half of each person."

"Because I have no money." Ember said, "All my money was given to Feng Ping's wife."

Zhan Shuyun: "..."

In the end, Zhan Shuyun finally paid the money together, took the embers out of the gate of the restaurant, and was warmly sent off by Xiao Er.

When the two merged into the crowd, Xiaoer curled his lips and muttered: "One or two are really weird, one of them has no money and comes to eat, and wants to eat Bawang's meal? There is another one who picks, picks, and searches, not just three taels of silver, As for bargaining?"

Walking towards him was a young man whose whole body was shining brightly, Xiao Er immediately greeted him with a smile on his face, "Does the guest officer want to eat in the lobby or a private room?"

Cui Shexi waved his hand, "Do you think I'm short of money? Give me the best box here!"

"Okay! Sir, please—"

Here, after Yu Jin and Zhan Shuyun ate and drank enough, Zhan Shuyun took Yu Jin to visit the homes of several other deceased people. It was the same but different from the initial investigation of Feng Ping. Talking about investigation, but mingling in it and building relationships with others, and then getting out the information you want bit by bit.

Ember explained it this way: "Everyone is afraid of the government, especially the common people. When words like 'Dali Temple' and 'investigation' are reported, everyone avoids them. They are afraid of getting into trouble. Who will listen to you?" What to say, who would say those weird things."

"But your efficiency is too low."

Zhan Shuyun understands the reason for Yu Jin to do this, and admits that what Yu Jin said is good, but the efficiency of case investigation is too low, and it needs a lot of energy and time to dig, analyze and extract, and it is best not to delay the case for a long time.

"Your efficiency is high, so high that the real culprit has not been found yet, and there is no new progress." Ember replied.

"And the time was not wasted, the common ground was found."

-

"Guest officer, come in and play!"

"Brother, my good brother, you haven't been here for a long time."

"My little darling, I miss my brother so much, let my brother love you well tonight."

"Young master, I'm waiting for you to gain fame in the exam and come to redeem me."

There are all kinds of people coming and going.

At night, when the lights came on, Ember led Zhan Shuyun to the gate of the biggest brothel in the capital. The girls were standing on the street waving handkerchiefs to attract customers, their voices were so cloying that they were almost sweet, and the men were coming in and out. Walking is hurried or steady, the footsteps of those who come out drunk are like mud, the steps are light and light, and the expression is intoxicated as if it is about to become a fairy.

Ember slackened, Zhan Shuyun frowned: "Do you have to go in?"

Thank you for the recommendation tickets of Sleeping with Flowers and Shi Jin!
