Datang Coroner

Chapter 396 She's Lying

They were the only ones drinking mint drinks at the stand—after all, it was already the hottest time of the day, and after a while, it was time to cook dinner.Where else would anyone come out to drink this?

While drinking mint drink, Li Changbo chatted with the stall owner: "My old man's stall is here, are the neighbors taking care of business?"

The stall owner sighed: "Isn't it? I'm old and I don't know how to earn a living. I can only do this. It all depends on the care of my neighbors."

Li Changbo nodded: "The old man must be very familiar with the neighbors around him."

The stall owner nodded, and simply sat on another bench and chatted with Li Changbo first: "Isn't it? To put it bluntly, I know the people around me very well."

When Li Changbo heard this, he smiled slightly, "Then let me ask you about someone?"

The stall owner nodded: "You say."

Li Changbo said Zeng Qinshou's name: "Zeng Qinshou, do you have any impression? The one with the birthmark on his face."

Listening to Li Changbo's tone, those who didn't know thought he knew Zeng Qinshou well.

Fu Shiyi suddenly came to his senses: like a master, there must be a servant. Fang Liang is so exquisite, so he has nothing to do with Li County Magistrate, right?

Fu Shi picked up his ears, drank mint drink, and listened quietly.

When mentioning Zeng Qinshou, the stall owner nodded without even thinking about it: "I remember. He sometimes gets off work at noon every day, and he brings back a bowl of sugar water for his youngest son. Sometimes he drinks a bowl himself."

Fu Shiyi's heart skipped a beat: Every day?

Before Fu Shi could speak, Li Changbo said slowly, "Then when was the last time he bought sugar water?"

The stall owner thought about it for a while, "It seems to be the day before yesterday? No, it seems to be the day before yesterday—"

The people in the yamen were almost panicked to death: what day is it?

The stall owner finally thought about it, but he couldn't remember it.But he said very firmly: "I didn't come yesterday. I remember that I almost closed the stall at noon yesterday, and I didn't see him come. I also thought that it was delayed by something."

When the stall owner said this, Li Changbo smiled kindly and asked, "Didn't you have such an impression before?"

The stall owner nodded: "No. But I can't remember the last time he came."

Fu Shiyi rubbed the space between his eyebrows: Well, the old man is getting old, and it's normal for him to have a bad memory.

But for such a bad memory, Fu Shiyi was still a little annoyed: It would be great if he could remember.

Li Changbo suddenly remembered something: "By the way, are there any washerwomen around you? We want to wash some clothes."

The stall owner immediately laughed: "My youngest daughter-in-law is. How about looking for her?"

Fu Shiyi understood Li Changbo's meaning in an instant, and immediately answered the words with a smile: "We need to be familiar with it. Wash some expensive clothes. I'm afraid no one will know how to do it."

The stall owner took care of everything: "Don't worry, my second daughter-in-law has been doing this business for several years! She also distributes the work to other people. The laundry ladies in our area all take the clothes in her hands! "

Fu Shiyi and Li Changbo looked at each other, smiled and asked the stall owner to lead the way.

The stall owner is also very happy.

The stall owner stood up and led the way, and Fu Shiyi gave Li Changbo a thumbs up: County Magistrate Li is awesome.

The corners of Li Changbo's mouth curled up slightly, and he calmly got up to follow.

Li Hai looked at Fu Shiyi, then at Li Changbo's back, silently taking a step behind.

And just right to block others.

Fu Shiyi followed behind Li Changbo, and the two exchanged glances from time to time.

How to talk for a while, what purpose to achieve, the two have already tacitly agreed.

After seeing the young daughter-in-law of the stall owner, Fu Shiyi went up and greeted politely: "I have something that I want to ask the young lady."

The youngest daughter-in-law hurriedly returned the gift: "Little lady, please speak."

Fu Shiyi told about Zeng Qinshou and Zhang E, "When was the last time my lady saw Zhang E?"

The youngest daughter-in-law thought for a while, but she couldn't remember, so she went back and looked through her account book: "It was noon the day before yesterday. She took the clothes and went back to wash."

Fu Shiyi raised his eyebrows immediately: "I took the clothes and went back to wash? The day before yesterday?"

The youngest daughter-in-law nodded with certainty: "It was the day before yesterday. I'm afraid I'll remember it wrong, so I remember it all."

Li Changbo asked in a deep voice beside him, "Did you send it back?"

The youngest daughter-in-law still nodded affirmatively: "I sent it back. But it was sent by the eldest daughter of their family. It was just delivered at noon yesterday. Then she said that her mother was not free, so she was called here. But she didn't take the clothes back to wash. It's kind of weird."

Fu Shiyi and Li Changbo looked at each other, and they both saw the surprise in each other's eyes: In this way, it can be shown that Aman was indeed lying before.

Aman said that Ye Niang went out the day before yesterday, early in the morning.

But now...

Li Changbo said softly, "Look again."

Fu Shi nodded, then politely thanked his youngest daughter-in-law, and promised: "I'll ask someone to send the clothes to wash later."

Li Changbo suddenly said: "I wonder if I can take a look at how the eldest lady washes her clothes?"

Everyone was dumbfounded by this request.

Only Fu Shiyi remembered the words he said during the autopsy: ...so magistrate Li still remembered it.

Although the youngest daughter-in-law found it strange, she had no choice but to comply with the county magistrate's request.

The little daughter-in-law pointed to the stone slabs in her yard: "Generally, this is the way to wash. Press with your left hand and rub with your right. For particularly heavy things, you can only press with your left hand and beat with a tamping stick with your right. Sometimes you can also use a rubbing plate--"

The younger daughter-in-law demonstrated it one by one.

Fu Shiyi said: Without good detergents, it is really difficult to do laundry.

Then, Fu Shi took a look at Li Changbo and found that Li Changbo was serious about it.

Facing his serious posture, Fu Shiyi was inexplicably wanting to laugh, and also inexplicably admiring: no one in this background and status can be so eager to learn, so willing to lower his figure to pay attention to these small things.

Fu Shiyi sighed sincerely: He really is a male god.Aside from that face, this character is also shining.

Coming out of the stall owner's house, Fu Shiyi asked Li Changbo in a low voice: "Then what should we do now? Are we going to take him away?"

Li Changbo shook his head: "It's easy to take people away, but it's hard to find out the truth. Maybe we have to put on a show."

Fu Shiyi rubbed his hands expectantly, feeling that he finally had a chance to show off his Oscar statuette: "I listen to County Magistrate Li."

"Then let's go to the alley and continue to drink mint drinks." Li Changbo calmly talked about the follow-up arrangements.

Fu Shiyi's movements of rubbing his hands froze, and he began to seriously wonder if he hadn't cleaned his ears for so long that his hearing was affected a little?

Seeing that she was not moving, Li Changbo smiled, "What's wrong with Miss Fu?"

Fu Shiyi confirmed again: "So, our plan is to drink water?"

Fu Shiyi said in his heart: County Magistrate Li, are you ignoring me~

　Fu Xiaodao: I have all my Oscar statuettes out, you tell me this is the plan?
