Chapter 1020: Observing the Embassy

The Observation Envoy is in Chang'an City, but it's not in the trouble area, because the Observation Envoy is a false title, so he doesn't care about things, since he doesn't care about things, the quieter the place where he is, the better.

However, everyone knows that although the Observer is a false title, few magistrates dare to offend them, because they all have some rights to write to them.

After eating breakfast that morning, Hua Lang took people directly to the Observation Embassy.

After handing over the name post, a subordinate immediately led Hua Lang and them into the living room, sat in the living room for a while, a middle-aged man in his forties, looking quite charming, walked slowly, he came to the living room, Hua Lang and others hurriedly got up and saluted, the middle-aged man smiled slightly, motioned for everyone to sit down, and then looked at Hua Lang and said: "I have heard of the reputation of the playboy for a long time, but I have never had the opportunity to see it, I don't know how the playboy will remember to make this here?" ”

Hua Lang wanted to say something polite first, but for a stranger, Hua Lang always felt that it was too hypocritical to say kind words, so he hurriedly bowed his hand and said: "I don't hide it, I came here today, yes...... It's because I'm investigating a murder case, so I came here as a last resort, and I'm very disturbed by this, so I ask Lord Lu to forgive me. ”

Lu Zhinian was a little surprised to see Hua Lang so direct, after all, he had been in the officialdom for many years, and he had never seen this direct person, but he didn't say much, and after nodding slightly, he asked: "The fate of the playboy detective is known to the world, but you came to me to handle the case, but it made the envoy a little confused, could it be that I have a murder here, or a murderer?" ”

Hua Lang shook his head again and again, and said, "It's not that Lord Lu has a murder or a murderer here, but that there is a murder in Chang'an City, and one of Lord Lu's subordinates may have something to do with the deceased, so I'm here to ask." ”

Hua Lang investigated the murder case, which was allowed by the emperor, so after Hua Lang said these words, Lu Zhinian had to nod and asked, "Oh, I don't know who the playboy wants to ask me in the house?" ”

"Master Cheng Juncai, Master Cheng!"

"Him?" Lu Zhinian was a little surprised, and then smiled again and again: "The playboy should be mistaken, Juncai has always been very peaceful, how can it be related to the murder." ”

"Lord Lu misunderstood, I didn't say that Cheng Juncai had anything to do with the murder, but only that he might have something to do with the deceased, and what the specific relationship is, I'm afraid we won't know until we ask about it."

Lu Zhinian nodded, and then ordered his subordinates to call Cheng Juncai, and after a while, a man about twenty years old and quite handsome walked over, after he came, he first saluted Lu Zhinian, and then asked, "Lord Lu is looking for me?" ”

Lu Zhinian nodded and said, "This is the playboy of the year, he asked you about something." ”

Cheng Juncai glanced at Hua Lang, his expression was very calm, and said, "I don't know what the playboy wants to ask?" ”

"That's it, there was a murder in Chang'an City recently, the deceased was a girl from Fengyue Hutong, can Lord Cheng know her?" The reason why Hua Lang didn't directly ask Cheng Juncai about the relationship with Masako was to test Cheng Juncai and see if he was willing to tell the truth.

And Cheng Juncai was startled at first, and then quickly returned to his usual expression, and said: "I naturally recognize Masako, but I don't know how this Masako was killed?" ”

Seeing Cheng Juncai's calm expression as usual, Hua Lang couldn't help but be suspicious in his heart, so he told the story of Masako's killing, and after finishing speaking, he asked: "Since Lord Cheng knows Masako, I don't know if I can tell you about your relationship with her, as far as we know, this Masako has not seen anyone since she came to Fengyue Hutong, of course, except for you, Lord Cheng." ”

After Hua Lang finished speaking, the corners of Cheng Juncai's mouth twitched slightly, and said: "Actually, I have nothing to do with Na Yazi, it's just that Na Yazi sells rouge on the street, and once he was molested by a few scoundrels, I can't look past it, and I just taught those scoundrels a lesson, and that's why I met Masako, and then I wanted to buy a few boxes of rouge for my friend, and I thought about taking care of Masako's business, so I went to where she was." ”

"In this way, every time Master Cheng goes to Yazi, he must be in a very good mood?"

Hearing Hua Lang ask like this, Cheng Juncai's expression was slightly condensed, but he quickly recovered, and said: "Every time I go, I am in a really good mood, but I didn't expect that this Masako didn't know what illness he was committing, and he wanted to coax me out after I went, I couldn't look past it, so I quarreled with her for a few words, but she, a woman, didn't listen to anything, Fang Zheng just didn't let people go to her house, there was no way, after touching the wall twice, I never went to look for her again." ”

Cheng Juncai's explanation is very reasonable, and it makes sense, but Hua Lang always feels awkward when he hears it, is that Yazi so unkind? Don't you give a good face to those who help you?

This doesn't make sense, and besides, Hua Lang felt that Cheng Juncai's expression changed slightly after hearing his question, and it was this slight change that made Hua Lang feel that Cheng Juncai's explanation was more of a fabrication, and it was made up in order to match his anger.

If all these things he said were made up, then why was he angry at that time?

Of course, Hua Lang knew very well that in this case, he couldn't ask Cheng Juncai anything, so he could only figure this out through future investigations, and after some thought, Hua Lang smiled lightly: "I don't know if Master Cheng has any clues to tell us about his own knowledge?" ”

"No, I'm just a meeting with that masako!"

"So, where were you on the day Masako was killed? The specific time is when it rains heavily in the evening. ”

Cheng Juncai thought for a while and said, "At that time, I was sorting out some things in the study, and there are many people who can testify to this, because I had several colleagues who were there at that time, and we didn't leave until late." Speaking of this, Cheng Juncai suddenly said: "Lord Lu can also testify, because I remember that when it was raining heavily, Lord Lu once went to the study to see us once, and asked us to finish it as soon as possible, and then go to rest." ”

After Cheng Juncai finished speaking, Lu Zhinian nodded again and again in agreement: "That's right, it's true, when I went in, Juncai was still working hard to write, I can testify that he was indeed in the study at that time." ”

Lu Zhinian's words cleared Cheng Juncai's suspicions, Hua Lang smiled slightly, and then got up and said: "The murder case has not been solved yet, and there are still many things to be done in the future, so I won't bother here." ”

Lu Zhinian also got up and nodded, and said, "Okay, dude, please take care of yourself, if you need help in the future, you can come to my observation embassy." ”

"Definitely!"
