General, he's cheating again

Chapter 23 The Madman

The old floor was knocked loudly. Warm tears merged with a line of blood oozing from the forehead from the corners of the eyes, and finally slid across the chiseled face and dripped onto the floor.

The fists supporting the upper body were clenched, and the kneeling man slammed his forehead to the ground fiercely. The scent of flowers and sweet fishy smell lingered in his nostrils. When it entered his throat, it tasted like the blood of a young girl.

"boom--

Wanran, it was my brother who hurt you..."

The wooden box full of money lying in the house was overturned on the ground, and the piled up silver coins rolled down from top to bottom like a mountain of rocks, and lying on the ground at the corner of the wooden bed was a man with broken internal organs and eyes wide open. dead bird.Chen Jin's apologetic confessions echoed in the silent room. His trembling voice sometimes whispered helplessly, sometimes cursed with hatred, and sometimes begged for forgiveness desperately.

The eyes of the people in this room were already red, immersed in their own world and unable to control themselves, with his cheek stuck to the bloodstain, he curled up and wiped two lines of tears from his eyes.

At this moment, Hua Yan, who had already stood outside the house and witnessed everything, had a smug smile on his lips. He guessed right, sure enough, there was something wrong with Chen Jin.

"Hall Master Hua, what happened to him?

Why was he the only one in the room but didn't see Chen Wanran? "

Qin Qingrong, who arrived at Fang Fang, looked into the house from the paper window and couldn't help but frowned when he saw the situation, and found that Hua Yan seemed to have understood everything on his face, so he lowered his voice and asked Hua Yan.

Gu Zhen's eyes fell on the dying bird at the foot of the bed, guessing that this bird was probably strangled to death.There was playfulness in his eyes, and he could even imagine how cold-blooded the man's face would be when he strangled the bird.

"What's up with him?

Now the hall master can be sure that Chen Wanran should have died long ago.And Chen Jin went crazy. "

Hua Yan turned around with his hands behind his back and looked at the sea of ​​flowers under the house, thinking about Chen Jin's words and deeds during the day, he calmly analyzed: "I remember it was recorded in medical books that after suffering a major blow, there is such a type of person who, because of Unwilling to accept the fact that a loved one has left will split into multiple personalities.

So from the beginning to the end, whether it is the person who rescues the birds or the person who cooks for us in the kitchen, Chen Jin plays Chen Wanran.This is also the reason why Chen Jin would put the bird in the study instead of Chen Wanran's boudoir.

Because his imitation only needs to rely on imagination to deceive himself, and it is impossible to be true to every detail. "

"Look at that box of silver." Gu Zhen noticed an abnormality in the room vigilantly, his eyes fell on Chen Jin's back and said indifferently: "After being questioned several times during the day, he can almost face it." He replied without changing his face. But if the private possession of salt and iron really has nothing to do with him, where did he get so much money?"

"Not so sure.

If traced back, the Yantie case started at the beginning of last year at the earliest. "Qin Qingrong thought about another possibility, and spoke in a warm voice, "Perhaps his sister's death happened before this case. If so, Chen Jin would no longer need a large sum of money to pay for the medicine, and it would prove that Chen Jin Jin had no motive for committing the crime. "

Unexpectedly, when the talented and beautiful Grand Tutor Qin would also make omissions, Gu Zhen folded his arms and raised a slight smile on his lips to remind him: "Did you forget? Xiao Qingqing?

During the day, Chen Jin mentioned that the rape of his sister happened in the second half of last year, and there is no need for him to lie to us on this point. "

Looking at Gu Zhen and frowning slightly, Qin Qingrong's face turned red when he heard the three words "Xiao Qingqing". After glaring at him pretending to be angry, he subconsciously looked at Hua Yan's reaction.

However, Hua Yan's expression was indifferent, as if he didn't pay much attention to what Gu Zhen said just now, Qin Qingrong couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief.

Turning his face away from Gu Zhen, Qin Qingrong put his hands on his back and brought his thoughts back to the topic, "If this is the case, Chen Wanran's death is probably related to Yu Duocheng."

"That's right, my hall master can even boldly guess that Chen Wanran died the night she was raped. And Chen Jin also went completely insane after that night."

Hua Yan was stunned for a moment when his eyes fell on Qin Qingrong's still red cheeks. He wanted to laugh when he heard the word "Xiao Qingqing" just now, but he pretended not to hear because of Qin Qingrong's thin skin.

At this moment, when he saw Qin Qingrong blushing and still serious about handling the case, the smile deepened in his heart and he secretly said that he was right with Gu Zhen last time, Qin Qingrong is a young child who can't stand being teased.

The corner of his mouth couldn't help twitching to laugh, and he glanced at Gu Zhen behind Qin Qingrong, staring at him like a god of death with a pair of phoenix eyes.Hua Yanguang could feel Gu Zhen's hidden words from his eyes, if he dared to laugh, he wanted him to look good.

Forcibly frowned to suppress the smile, Hua Yan turned his back to Qin Qingrong and cleared his throat, "It's not without reason that my hall master speculates this way, you must know that ordinary people's self-reports may be deceptive, let alone a People with mental problems.

And if we want to analyze Chen Jin's self-report during the day, we only need to grasp one important point, that is, he is unwilling to believe his sister's death.

——My sister was severely injured after that, and she didn't say a word to me, and her condition became more and more serious.

Does Chen Wanran really not want to talk to her?

The truth is not, because Chen Wanran is already dead, and the dead can't speak.As for Chen Wanran's condition getting worse, it actually meant that Chen Wanran's body was decomposing more and more.

——Fortunately, I planted flowers, and my sister’s heart has been healed so far.My sister has already forgotten the shadow of the past, but I can't forget it.

If the hall master guessed correctly, Chen Jin would have buried his younger sister in the sea of ​​flowers under us.

The soul he said healed by the sea of ​​flowers is not Chen Wanran's soul but his.

And when Chen Wanran was buried in Huahai, Chen Jin completely successfully deceived himself.Because in his heart, if Chen Wanran is still alive, he will be able to use this sea of ​​flowers to save Chen Wanran's soul. "

Suddenly remembering how he looked every time he got sick, Hua Yan couldn't help trembling uncontrollably with his hands, he clenched his fists to contain the emotional changes and said in a deep voice: "Chen Jin is deeply in the pain of his sister's death and cannot extricate himself. To put myself in such a state of embarrassment seemed ill.

We have to be careful, because he is likely to do hurtful behavior. "

As soon as he finished speaking, when he turned his head, he found that Chen Jin who was in the room had quietly walked to the door at this moment, holding a dagger in his hand and was about to stab Qin Qingrong who was facing away from the door.

The pupils in his eyes shrank suddenly. Before Hua Yan had time to remind him, the dagger in Chen Jin's hand had already stabbed fiercely at the person in front of him. He subconsciously closed his eyes and then heard a muffled groan.

When he opened his eyes, he found that the dagger was stuck in Gu Zhen's arm. Fortunately, Gu Zhen quickly grabbed Chen Jin's wrist with his other hand, so the injury was not deep.

After knocking Chen Jin unconscious with one palm, Hua Yan took out a bottle of medicinal powder from his sleeve, took the square handkerchief from Qin Qingrong, and immediately bandaged it up for Gu Zhen.

Hiding under the clothes, the wound with flesh and blood sticking to one place was reflected in his eyes, Qin Qingrong subconsciously stroked his injured arm, knowing that Gu Zhen must be in pain now.

A pair of peach blossom eyes looked at Gu Zhen slightly, Qin Qingrong pursed her lips and sighed for a long time: "Sorry."

"Interesting, I thought you were going to say something like thank you, but I didn't expect you to apologize." Although his lips were pale, and there was even a layer of sweat on his forehead, Gu Zhen still had a lazy chuckle on his face, The charm in the eyes is endless, "I have already thought about it, the general, if you thank me, I will push you up and make you agree with me."

Qin Qingrong showed self-reproach, he stared at the wound on Gu Zhen's arm with his hands on his back and said sadly: "I seem to have caused you a lot of trouble, so I'm sorry."

"Master Qin, why do you say that?" After Hua Yan bandaged Gu Zhen's wound, he put away the medicine bottle in his hand to comfort Qin Qingrong, "You must know that this kind of thing is a sudden disaster and cannot be avoided in advance. There is nothing you can do about it, so don't blame yourself. "

Fearing that Qin Qingrong was still blaming himself now, he changed the subject, Hua Yan looked outside the courtyard and muttered to himself, "Hey, this case has been investigated for so long, but the real culprit behind the scenes has not been found."

"Don't worry." Gu Zhen's eyes were filled with coldness, "I always feel that the real game hasn't started yet."

In the middle of the night, the three of them took Chen Jin back to Tiju Mansion, waited for the guard outside the door to take orders, and then tied Chen Jin up and locked him in the firewood room.

After returning to the room, Leng Ji noticed a trace of worry in the eyes of Gu Zhen's wounded arm.

However, seeing Gu Zhen's calm expression, he didn't ask any more questions, stood aside quietly and cupped his hands and said, "General, I just got the news that there is a change in the Governor's Mansion.

The guards guarding the dungeon came to say that someone visited him in the cell at night, but he disappeared before they saw the person coming. "

"Hmph. It seems that Yu Duocheng still has a hand under the nose of this general."

After returning to the room and putting down all his guard, Gu Zhen closed his eyes wearily for a long time and asked again: "What exactly is Han Zhaocen going to do when he leaves the mansion, did you find out?"

"It has been asked from the servants in the mansion." Leng Ji said calmly and slowly: "It is reported that Han Zhao Cen received an urgent letter last night, he looked very flustered after reading it, and left the mansion early the next morning.

There were also guards at the gate of the city who pointed out that Han Zhaocen was heading towards Longshan County when he left the city. "

"That's no wonder." Resting on his forehead with a headache, Gu Zhen shook his head and sighed coldly, "It's no wonder that the case of Qian's disappearance has been investigated in Tanzhou for half a year and there is no news.

From Yu Duocheng to Chen Jin and then to Han Zhaocen, the Lord watched helplessly as the ranks of the officials involved got higher and higher.

Leng Ji, do you think this case will be related to people in the capital after the investigation? "

Leng Ji looked up at Gu Zhen and guessed: "The general refers to Master Dong and Master Chen. Or, Lin Wenshan."

"Do you still remember that Dong Wen went to find Chen Linxiang the night before we left the city?" Gu Zhen's mind was full of thoughts, and he frowned slightly, "I always feel that there is something strange between these two people.

You should keep an eye on Chen Linxiang these few days. If there is any change in him, remember to report it to the master immediately. "

Hearing this, Leng Ji cupped his hands and said: "Yes."
