Jianghu Case: Female Psychologist

Chapter 36

Ran Feize's smile was warm, Su Xiaopei looked at it, and couldn't help curling the corners of his mouth along with him.

After laughing, I feel sincerely.

"Strong man."

"Do what?"

"I... Fortunately, I met a strong man. Otherwise, I don't know where I am now."

Ran Feize grinned: "The girl knows how to be grateful and cherish the blessings, I am very relieved."

Su Xiaopei froze immediately.This stinky fart is too spoiling the atmosphere.

The two sat opposite each other, looking at each other without words, and finally couldn't help laughing again.

"The strong man met the policemen tonight, what's the fun?" Su Xiaopei was careful with her words, she made too many oolongs, she really needs to review.

"There are interesting things, but girls shouldn't listen to them." Ran Feize said: "There are also serious things, you can tell girls about them."

Su Xiaopei's black line, that's not suitable to listen to, is it possible that men in this world can tell nasty jokes when they get together?
"Okay, let's listen to the serious business."

"Later today, the teachers and sisters of Miss Sima's family left Sima's house and returned to the teacher's school."

Su Xiaopei was a little surprised: "So fast? Didn't we just see them shopping together today?"

"Second Miss Sima probably took the opportunity to go out with her seniors and sisters to go to the Changfu. She took the seniors and sisters for a stroll, and because of a funeral at home, it is common for them to leave home with a treat. But Miss Cai just said that the second lady delayed returning to the mansion for a day. , what is the delay, you can look it up."

"Check this?" Su Xiaopei thought about it, "Then talk to Mr. Qin tomorrow, and we will go to Sima Mansion to have a look."

"It's fine to go tomorrow, but I think there's a better way." Ran Feize said, "It's a good thing that Second Miss Sima's seniors and sisters left Sima Mansion. They walked for half a day, and they can't stay too far away. I'll see you soon." Go find the sixth child and let him catch up quickly. Those girls and the second lady came back together. They must know clearly what happened on the way. They escaped from the team and sneaked back, and then returned to the team after the crime was committed. Together with the sisters Going home, this schedule and whereabouts can be concealed."

"The strong man doubts the second lady?"

"Don't be suspicious. As long as you haven't solved this matter, it's good to investigate and understand." Ran Feize said: "Today, Qin Butou took the arresters to several houses that are close to Sima's Mansion, including Chang's Mansion. The Chang Mansion has made a lot of preparations for this marriage. The book of ceremonies has been issued, the dowry has passed, and they are waiting for the worship in a few days. I just thought that the day of the worship will become Miss Sima's first seven. Everyone in the Chang Mansion Miss was at home the night she was killed, and I never thought of anyone suspicious. I inquired with Lao Liu, and the relationship between Mr. Chang and Mrs. Sima was harmonious. As soon as the family discussed it, it was decided, and the marriage letter was quickly changed to Geng Tie."

"Why do you have to wait until the eldest lady is nineteen or twenty before proposing marriage? Isn't it a childhood sweetheart? What twists and turns are there in the middle? Before the eldest lady and Mr. Chang got married, did they still have anything to do with others?"

Ran Feize smiled, he also asked the same question, so he knew. "The marriage was engaged three and a half years ago. At that time, the young lady was sixteen and she was at the right age for marriage. But after the marriage was settled, Mr. Chang changed his attitude again, saying that the big man puts his career first, so wait. Two Although the elders have some slight words, but the marriage has been decided, they feel at ease, so they half urged and half agreed, and this matter has been dragged on until now."

"Strong man, can Mr. Chang know martial arts?" Su Xiaopei asked suddenly.

"Yes. The largest martial arts gym in Ning'an City is the business of the Chang family's brother-in-law, Luo Kui. Mr. Chang has practiced martial arts with his uncle since he was a child. The two young ladies of the Sima family were also taught martial arts by the master of the Luo family martial arts gym. Miss left home and worshiped under the Mingxiu sect."

After Ran Feize finished speaking, he waited and saw that Su Xiaopei hadn't said a word, so he asked, "Young lady suspects Mr. Chang?"

"I don't doubt it, but I want to see him. I asked for a marriage, but the marriage was delayed for more than three years. From the perspective of a strong man, is it strange?"

"It's a bit strange. But I heard that Mr. Chang is a talented person, polite and righteous, and everyone who knows him praises him. In recent years, he has worked hard and managed several shops in his family to flourish. And the matter of getting married , He also proposed it on his own initiative."

"So he took the initiative to propose marriage, then delayed the marriage, and now he took the initiative to get married, and before the marriage, his fiancée died?" Su Xiaopei tilted his head, "I want to see him more."

"Then I'll talk to Master Qin."

"Well, it would be better if you don't have to go to the Changfu to meet. Find a quiet place where you can talk, and talk alone." Su Xiaopei was satisfied with his success in using the word talk.

"girl."

"Ok?"

"When a man and a woman are alone, they are nothing to talk about."

"Ah." Su Xiaopei was stunned. "You mean Master Qin doesn't know how to make arrangements, looks down on me, and thinks I'm shameless?"

"It's good that Mr. Qin knows what the girl is doing. Only Mr. Chang, I'm afraid he won't go to the appointment. But any man who is particular about it will avoid these things. I heard that Mr. Chang is very polite, so I have this guess. "

"Oh." Su Xiaopei looked at Ran Feize.

Ran Feize smiled: "I'm a rough man, I can't live if I'm too particular."

Su Xiaopei nodded vigorously: "Don't be too particular about a strong man, otherwise I won't be able to pass."

The two looked at each other and smiled again.Su Xiaopei said: "A strong man can tell Mr. Qin, let Mr. Qin make an appointment with Mr. Chang, and I will accompany you."

Ran Feize nodded.

Su Xiaopei said again: "Let's make an appointment with Miss Sima as well. Don't tell them at different times. Tell Miss Sima that I asked her to chat about the murderous matter. I want to see, when Miss Sima meets Mr. Chang , what will happen."

Ran Feize thought about it and nodded again.

"Strong man, if I want to guess that Mr. Chang may like the second lady, but for some reason, he is engaged to be the eldest lady. The second lady may be affectionate and sad, so she leaves home to avoid this matter. Is this considered rude?"

"Naturally." Ran Feize nodded, "Brother-in-law and sister-in-law are in love, it's indecent, and they are in a funeral. The relationship is delicate. If there is no evidence, it is disrespectful to speak nonsense. The girl has a quick mind, but she needs to be cautious in her words .”

Su Xiaopei looked at Ran Feize, the strong man obviously guessed like her, but he was more cautious than her in his words.She sighed secretly, if it was in modern times, these people would have been invited to the bureau to drink tea to assist in the investigation, and all the sharp and rude questions would have been asked long ago, unlike here.

But do as the Romans do, it is better for her to learn and adapt early.She should also pay more attention to it. In modern times, it may be a guilty conscience to cause angry reactions to such questions, but here it may be that she is too outrageous and rude to cause real anger. These differences, she also has to secretly calculate in her heart.

Su Xiaopei nodded, thanked Ran Feize for reminding, and the two discussed the details to be done.Ran Feize said that he was going out to talk to Lord Qin and Bai Yulang about these things, and asked Su Xiaopei to close the doors and windows.He said that he would tell the storekeeper well that no one would ignore her again.

He instructed and exhorted, and checked what was missing in her room, and before leaving, he looked at her door and asked her to lock it in front of him before he left.

Su Xiaopei added to the diary, packed up and went to bed.In the dead of night, she was grateful again in her heart. Fortunately, she met Ran Zhuangshi.It can be regarded as the great luck in her unfortunate journey through time.

In the early morning of the second day, Su Xiaopei and Ran Feize had breakfast and walked to the yamen.Qin Dezheng has been working for a long time, and at the moment he is in the yard telling a few police officers. Seeing Su Xiaopei coming, he hurriedly greeted: "Miss Su, this is Butou Gu. Ma Zhengyuan's reward notices have been ordered to be taken down, and Butou Gu is leaving today." , go to Jicheng to supervise Ma Mansion and Ma Yao who is a nun. The nearby areas will also step up supervision."

The catcher Gu saluted Su Xiaopei and Ran Feize with clasped fists, and Su Xiaopei hurriedly followed Ran Feize's example, and saluted with clasped fists as well.

This time, no one disliked her inappropriate clasping of fists, but Gu Butou also said that she heard Su Xiaopei was lucky to see the truth today. .Qin Dezheng discussed with Gu Butou for a few more words, and then Gu Butou yelled at his subordinates to get ready to go.Qin Dezheng turned to Su Xiaopei and asked, "Miss Su, what else do you need to say?"

Su Xiaopei nodded, she really almost missed it, but fortunately she ran into it today.She rushed to catch Gu and said: "Master Gu, please explain to Miss Ma Yao and the Ma family, if you see Ma Zhengyuan, don't show any panic and panic."

"Why is this?"

"Don't be afraid of him, you can save your life."

"Can you save your life without being afraid of him?" Everyone doubted.

Su Xiaopei didn't want to explain too much, and said that it was a long story, and it was difficult to explain, but it really worked, so Gu Butou must bring the words to him.

Gu Catcher looked at Qin Dezheng, saw that Qin Dezheng had no objection, nodded his head, and agreed immediately.He got on his horse, took a few men with him, and set off with a warrant.

Qin De was watching them leave, and invited Su Xiaopei into the house.Several people talked again, first of all, they said that Bai Yulang took someone to chase after those Mingxiu sect's seniors and sisters last night, and asked about Sima Wanru.Then there was the matter of inviting Mr. Chang's family to have a conversation with Sima Wanru, and Qin De was about to confirm the details with Su Xiaopei.Su Xiaopei had already thought about the matter last night, so he explained it in detail, and Qin Tutou nodded in agreement.Send someone to start arranging.

Today, the investigation that should be carried out in the yamen is in full swing. In the afternoon, Su Xiaopei still pretends to be a yamen servant, and sits with Ran Feize and Qin Dezheng in the teahouse waiting for Mr. Chang.Su Xiaopei proposed not to choose the Changfu or the Yamen, and finally Qin Dezheng settled here.The private room at the corner of the upper floor has a good environment, quiet and peaceful. The outside window on the opposite side of the street can see the street view of the tea house gate, and the window of the private room can see the movement of the stairs. Su Xiaopei thinks the location is really good.

After a while, Chang Jun brought a young servant up.Su Xiaopei looked out of the window and noticed that the young man was holding a sword in his hand.She glanced at Ran Feize questioningly, and Ran Feize said softly to her, "That's the boy who serves the sword. A martial artist carries a sword with him as a status symbol. Needless to say, in the Jianghu, the sons of high-ranking families also like to wear swords. One is to use a gorgeously decorated sword to show dignity, and the other is to wear a sword to show that one is capable of martial arts."

Su Xiaopei curled her lips, thinking to herself that Sima Wanru came with a sword last night, did she misunderstand her intentions?

Chang Jun entered the private room, called on Qin Dezheng, met with Ran Feize and Su Xiaopei, then sent the servant to wait outside the door, and sat down by himself.The whole process was decent, dignified and steady, coupled with his good looks, he was indeed a handsome young man.

Qin Dezheng asked Chang Jun a few questions as discussed with Su Xiaopei.Including whether Sima Wanqing has heard any troublesome things, whether she has found any grievances with others, how the marriage preparations are going, where he was on the night of the crime, whether he has heard any suspicious news, etc.

In fact, Qin De had already asked these questions when he was in the Chang Mansion, and Su Xiaopei knew about it, but seeing Qin De was asking again, Chang Jun didn't show the slightest expression of impatience, he lowered his eyes slightly, spoke slowly, and answered seriously.

Ran Feize specially taught Su Xiaopei this behavior of lowering his eyes today. He said that it is not polite to stare at others when he talks. At home, people who are not familiar with each other will be polite or respectful, and they will answer with downcast eyes.He neither lowered his status, nor stared at others abruptly.Su Xiaopei thought at the time that she was always staring at others, so she was a rough person who was always rude to others.

By the way, she knows this "polite" behavior, so it's hard for her to observe Chang Jun's eyes now, and she can't judge that Chang Jun is hiding and covering up.He speaks smoothly and smoothly, but this is also an expression of deliberation and preparation.Su Xiaopei was still not sure whether he was too particular about etiquette or whether he had ulterior motives and had prepared all the answers to the questions.

Finally, all the previous routine questions were finished, and Qin Dezheng suddenly asked Chang Jun about the Sima sisters in a small chat, such as how they got along with each other when they were young, their engagement, whether his sister was weak and practiced martial arts, would he worry about her being unable to bear it? Does the younger sister leave home and the elder sister nagging and caring about him, whether there is anything special about the two sisters since they were young, special friends, etc.

This was specifically requested by Su Xiaopei, and he had also communicated with Qin Dezheng about the method and content of the question.Chang Jun's answer finally changed.He no longer answered the questions fluently, he spent some time thinking about the matter of the two sisters, and he would also care about Qin Dezheng's intentions for these concerns.Some serious questions Qin Dezheng explained that this is to learn more about the situation of the Sima sisters and see if they can find clues.When some personal matters were involved, he would play haha ​​and fool around, as if he asked casually and didn't care.Su Xiaopei felt that Qin Dezheng was indeed a veteran in interrogation, quite experienced.

It took a lot of time to finish those words, but Su Xiaopei already had some ideas in his mind.At this time, Ran Feize was pouring tea, and accidentally knocked the teapot into the cup. This was the signal that had been negotiated before, and Sima Wanru came.

So Qin Dezheng started to end the conversation, expressing his gratitude to Mr. Chang for his help and so on.Chang Jun was polite, got up and prepared to leave.At this moment, he finally no longer lowered his eyes politely, but looked directly into Qin Dezheng's eyes, earnestly and earnestly: "My lord, Miss Sima died unjustly. If the real murderer is not punished, how can her soul be at peace? Please, my lord, put the villain to death." Capture her, and let Miss Sima rest in peace under the Nine Springs."

Qin Dezheng clasped his fists and answered earnestly.At this time, Chang Jun's servant outside the private room called out in surprise, "Second Miss."

Chang Jun was shocked slightly, his expression changed.At this time, Sima Wanru outside the door also saw the boy at the door and the scene inside the house, and her complexion suddenly showed mixed feelings.When the two eyes met, Sima Wanru quickly lowered her head, and Chang Jun also bowed slightly, saluted, and called out, "Sister Wanru."

The two of them saluted and passed by. Chang Jun turned his head and looked at Sima Wanru again, but Sima Wanru froze and didn't look back.

Chang Jun took the boy away, and Sima Wanru sat upright, looking at Su Xiaopei and the others.She still had a cold face, didn't bring anyone down, and still had the sword on her body.

Qin Dezheng still used the trick, and talked with Sima Wanru about some questions that he had already asked.Sima Wanru obviously showed impatience, and expressed dissatisfaction with the government's lack of progress in pursuing the murderer in the past few days.Su Xiaopei saw that she was the same as that night, nervous and irritable.

Ran Feize looked at Sima Wanru's sword, and suddenly said: "Miss Sima should change her sword."

Su Xiaopei took a closer look, this sword looked really simple, she was ignorant, but this sword was comparable to Cai Changjun's sword just now, not like a rich man's.

Sima Wanru was taken aback.Ran Feize said: "The body of this sword is short and narrow. Although I can't weigh its weight, I can tell from a glance that it is for teenagers aged [-] or [-]. Girls are getting older now, and the width and strength of their palms have changed. , it is no longer suitable for use, I see that the girl is holding it, it is not suitable for the hand, does the girl want to change it?"

Sima Wanru's face was dark, and she replied: "It is said that it is a matter of discussion, but now it is talking about these things. Is this the way the government handles cases? The adults have nothing to do?"

Qin De was busy picking up the conversation.Su Xiaopei and Ran Feize exchanged a look, look, she came again, and asked back aggressively.

Sima Wanru's conversation ended quickly, because she was not in the mood to deal with Qin Dezheng, and she was not as cooperative as Chang Jun.After she left with a cold face, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Su Xiaopei said: "Now if I say that there is love between the two of them, it's not considered rude and suspicious." The look at each other was too obvious.

Qin Dezheng glanced at Ran Feize: "I will send someone to check that sword quietly."

Ran Feize nodded: "That sword should be an old thing to her. It's really unreasonable for a martial arts practitioner to hold an unsuitable weapon. The sword is an old sword, but the scabbard has traces of new repairs. My lord, let someone secretly inquire about it." Inquire." The two discussed a few words, and then turned to Su Xiaopei together.

Su Xiaopei propped his chin: "Mr. Chang said that Miss Sima died unjustly, but he called Second Miss Wanqing's younger sister. Although there are differences in the object of narration and semantics, there is still a contrast in the difference. When he talked about the two sisters, he used Some vague words, they are sisters, everyone, not Wanqing and her sister, in his mind, he does not rank his fiancée ahead of his sister-in-law. He has never used the possessive, my fiancée, etc. " She paused at this point, well, this world pays attention to etiquette, what she just said seems to be a mess of words again.She simply asked: "He is too polite to deal with, isn't it like responding to the death of a beloved woman?"

Both Qin Dezheng and Ran Feize frowned.Qin Dezheng said: "Young Master Chang responds with courtesy, which is reasonable, but his reaction to the death of his beloved woman is indeed a bit too polite." Everyone didn't think it was like this when he was questioned in the Chang Mansion before, but now he is alone Ying Tan, but felt that Chang Jun was too reserved.

"Second Miss Sima's resentment towards him is obvious. What the two of them said must have been concealed."
