MTL - Perfect Encounter-Chapter 43

Speaking of which, Liu Ze had already approached, Zhao Jiahua got up and greeted him, and asked the prefect with concern about the situation of the trial, and whether he had any clues to the child's whereabouts.

An Ruochen looked at Zhao Jiahua's ability to switch between being cunning and meticulous, and being a good wife and loving mother, and she was completely in admiration.

Liu Ze and his wife were discussing the case in a low voice, and Xie Gang also walked in. He glanced at the couple, then asked An Ruochen with his eyes.

An Ruochen stood up and took a deep breath.

[If it is judged that the value of putting her in prison for a strict trial is greater than the value of putting her outside to lure the enemy, it is the right time to arrest her. 】Long Da's words are in my ears. An Ruochen walked towards Xie Gang, feeling sweaty palms and a little nervous.

She made a decision and shook her head slightly at Xie Gang.

Xie Gang said as if nothing had happened: "The prefect has finished interrogating, and there are no clear clues for the time being."

An Ruochen asked in a low voice: "I wonder if Mr. Xie has any orders?"

Xie Gang was silent for a moment. An Ruochen guessed that he was considering whether to accept her judgment or not.

"Let's go back first." Xie Gang said.

An Ruochen couldn't tell whether she was relieved or more nervous. She followed Xie Gang out, and when she stepped over the threshold, she looked back, Zhao Jiahua was staring at Liu Ze, and Liu Ze seemed to feel the scrutiny, and turned her head to look at An Ruochen.

An Ruochen saluted him, and Liu returned the salute.

Turn around and leave.

Leaving the Liu couple behind.

In the Purple Cloud Tower, An Ruochen carefully reported the process of her conversation with Zhao Jiahua and what she said.

Xie Gang and Long Da pondered.

"She asked us to investigate Liu Ze and her background?" Xie Gang frowned.

"That's what you said." An Ruochen was a little uneasy, as if accusing the general and the adults of not checking carefully at the beginning. She had asked and studied before, and the process of investigation was quite troublesome. Matchmaker Xu doesn't travel far often, and it's rare for her to go out and bring back a girl. Many people know about it. The status of distant relatives is reasonable and no one doubts it. But Xie Gang and the others tried their best to trace Xu Matchmaker's family relationship and proved that her identity was not true. Then traced all the way to the coachman who had gone to other counties to discuss life, and found Pinxianglou in Feng'an County. Every link is verified.

Xie Gang went out immediately and called the spy who was in charge of investigating Zhao Jiahua to come in.

The spies carefully reported the process of the original investigation and the relevant people they contacted. "Zhao Jiahua is indeed the Tian Yin of Pinxianglou. She is the red card of Pinxianglou. Many young masters spent a lot of money and fought for her. So although she has been away for three years, the nuns still remember her. Her voice, appearance, and temperament, They all matched. Also, matchmaker Xu went all the way to redeem her, and the nuns were so impressed that they didn't even forget the driver's appearance. The nuns in the building said that matchmaker Xu had betrayed her back then. It only said that they came from Pingnan County, but did not mention the details, the nuns only knew about Zhonglan City after hearing what the coachman said."

Xie Gang added for the spies: "At that time, I also felt that since Tian Yin was the top card and easy to get, there must be many sons who fell in love with him, but why did he agree to let Matchmaker Xu redeem her body, agree to change her name and surname, and marry a woman far away?" An unknown man. This is very suspicious."

The spies nodded: "Nurse said that Tian Yin was an orphan and was sold into the Pinxiang Building when he was ten years old. After that, he practiced the piano and played music like other girls, and sold himself as a prostitute. There was nothing special about it. The most special thing is that he came A woman, said she wanted to redeem her body. I confirmed that the information was correct, so I hurried back to report."

Long Dao: "Go again. Take Liu Ze's portrait and ask Liu Ze if he is one of those benefactors. Also, what are the identities of the other benefactors? What is Tian Yin's relationship with these people? Happy or particularly disgusting. What happened after Tian Yin and Mrs. Xu left? There is also the background of Pinxiang Tower, the origins of the nuns, etc. "

The spies respectfully took orders.

Xie Gang added: "Look out for special decorations, such as bells..."

The spy was stunned for a moment: "In the Pinxiang Building, there is a room that likes to be decorated with bells, and the sound is very nice."

Xie Gang and Long Da exchanged glances.

An Ruochen couldn't help but rushed to ask: "What's so special about that room? Who owns it?"

The spy said: "It's a girl from Pinxianglou. I didn't realize that she was related to this case, so I didn't pay much attention at that time."

"This has to be checked carefully." Xie Gang said.

The spies were ordered to retreat. An Ruochen was a little excited, could there be a breakthrough?

Long Da looked at her expression and said, "Mo Huan is too early to be happy."

"I know, I know, but I finally started to act, which is better than guessing and not knowing what to do."

Hearing this, Long Da raised his eyebrows, then retracted them, and quickly regained his composure.

An Ruochen saw it, and secretly thought what was wrong with her words?

"Have you seen her handwriting?" Long Da asked.

An Ruochen nodded hurriedly. She knew that Long Da was referring to the note "There are meticulous works in the city" that Long Da's leader had just entered the city. But no one with the same handwriting was found.

"Is it her?"

An Ruochen shook his head. When Zhao Jiahua signed and pressed her fingerprints at the Yamen, she saw that the handwriting was different. Zhao Jiahua didn't study calligraphy seriously, and his handwriting was not good. By the way, she also said that she couldn't read well, so it wasn't her.

"General, she said that she can only fight it out. Is something serious going to happen?" An Ruochen was still a little undecided, "Should we arrest her and interrogate her?"

"Haven't you already made up your mind?"

An Ruochen glanced at Xie Gang with a guilty conscience, with General Long and Master Xie here, could her self-determination be reliable?

"She's imitating you." Long said.

An Ruochen was taken aback for a moment, that's right, what was missing, what was going all out, even when she tried to win over the general in order to achieve her goal, thinking about it, it was really the same routine.

"Why is she like this?"

Long Dao: "One of the possibilities is that she is implying that she is just like you. Manager An, how are you?"

"Smart and reliable." An Ruochen replied quickly.

Xie Gang clenched his fist and coughed lightly on his lips, obviously holding back a smile. And General Long raised his eyebrows high.

An Ruochen's serious face is very innocent, she is serious, isn't she like this?

"Guardian An." Long Da opened his mouth to speak, but her serious expression was too cute, Long Da leaned back, a little far away from her, and then said: "It's a victim. I can't help myself, I can't do anything."

【You have a general as your backer. And I can only go all out. 】

An Ruochen thought of the old self, when he was covered in scars, desperately crawled out of the dog hole, made up his mind, even if he dragged his broken legs, he would go to the yamen, and beat the big drum of grievance.

Going all out—this kind of determination in despair and unwillingness to give up, she knows very well.

"I'll go see her tomorrow."

Long Da nodded: "Bring her over and use it for you."

"Success?" Does it mean to use her weakness to control her like Xu Matchmaker and let her be your informant?

"On the battlefield, when the two armies are facing each other, they will send out candidates for the battle depending on the opponent's opponent. There is a strategic consideration in choosing who to be the opponent. Judging from the various situations in which Zhao Jiahua fought with you, she has planned for a long time and knows you quite well. She chose you for a reason. Didn't she tell you that she is on your side? You have to calm down, find out what she is asking for, and recruit her. You know this, you deal with me, matchmaker Xu It's the same with those girls."

An Ruochen blushed and was not convinced: "How could I deal with the general?" Subconsciously, she glanced secretly at Xie Gang, how could she slander her like this in front of outsiders, no, in front of others.

"Well, that's me dealing with you."

An Ruochen: "..."

Choked, completely unable to refute. The general really dealt with her, you can feel it now!

An Ruochen, who received Long Da's advice and personally demonstrated what coping is, went to Zhao Jiahua with great energy the next day.

In a short while today, something must be gained.

It's just that An Ruochen never expected that when he went there, let alone captured him, he never saw him face to face.

She was rejected.

The concierge of Liu's house, Miss Daofu, disappeared yesterday. His wife was terrified and grieved. After returning from the yamen, she fell ill and was unable to see guests.

This lie is just like An Zhifu claiming that he is a good person.

An Ruochen's shocked expression was not feigned, but she was genuinely surprised that Zhao Jiahua was so calm yesterday, but today she has become a coward.

Did she hide from her on purpose, or did she lose her freedom?

Both of these exceeded her expectations, and they were not the results she could have imagined at all.

It was a bad situation, quite a bad one. An Ruochen began to panic. She won't lose the clue of Zhao Jiahua, right? She made a mistake, she should have taken Zhao Jiahua back yesterday.

An Ruochen tried his best to calm down, and asked Zhao Jiahua's condition with a concerned look, whether he had invited a doctor, etc. The concierge also respectfully invited the doctor to drink the medicine, but the wife was bedridden to recuperate, so it was inconvenient to see guests.

How to do? Go back and ask the general to send troops to force the way? But since the other party dared to deal with her like this, he must have made corresponding preparations.

An Ruochenchu's mind went blank for a moment at the gate of Liu's residence, and then she asked: "What about Boss Liu? Can I see him?"

"The master is in charge of the restaurant. If the girl wants to see him, she has to go to the restaurant to look for it." The concierge pointed to the south side of the mansion, Zhaofu Restaurant is in this direction.

An Ruochen went.

Sure enough, Liu Ze was busy in the restaurant, when he saw An Ruochen he was still polite and polite, saying that there were many distinguished guests who had reserved tables today, and the shopkeeper couldn't keep an eye on them, so he had to come to greet him in person. His wife was ill and his daughter was still looking for him. He thanked An Ruochen for his concern.

The restaurant was indeed full, and all the guys were busy running around. An Ruochen observed Liu Ze carefully, his eyes were straight, and his face looked a little tired, like an ordinary man who had an accident at home but still had to brace himself to take care of business.

But because of Zhao Jiahua's words and Long Da's previous point, An Ruochen was suspicious of this man.

An Ruochen thought for a moment, and felt that now was not the time to express doubts and disturb Liu Ze. There must be a reason for Zhao Jiahua's acting in front of Liu Ze. If she was really on her side and had evidence in hand, she should have taken advantage of the situation yesterday to arrest Liu Ze instead of investigating Liu Ze. And she said that if she is arrested, she will not be able to help, and the news she does not know will be gone.

[I am the clue. Remember every word I say. 】

An Ruochen decided to trust Zhao Jiahua. At least at this stage, she is more inclined to believe her.

"Just now I went to visit the mansion, and the concierge said that Mrs. Zun was ill and could not see guests. Boss Liu also knew that Mrs. Zun was related to me. My fourth sister was also missing and has not been found yet. The last time I met Yin by chance like this My son, I feel very emotional in my heart. Unexpectedly, Yin’er also suffered such a disaster yesterday. The pain in my heart at the beginning was the same as that of Mrs. Madam today. I think I can relieve Madam and help her get out of depression as soon as possible. It is very beneficial. So I also ask Boss Liu to give me a chance to meet Mrs. Zun."

When An Ruochen said this, she looked at Liu Ze seriously, not missing any expression on his face.
