Chapter 102 Youth
Hearing what Chen Xing said, Gao Yamen's eyes were a bit surprised. He didn't expect that the owner of this small restaurant had such a relationship with the Chen family.
Perhaps the shock on Gao Yamen's face was too obvious, Chen Xing hesitated for a while before continuing to explain: "I didn't agree to their request, so Mr. Chen asked people to put pressure on the people below to prevent them from supplying rice and ingredients. Us. Fortunately, with the help of good people a few days ago, our store was able to come back to life and survive for a while. I just don’t know if it was because of this that it caused this disaster.”
What Chen Xing said was reasonable and well-founded, Gao Yamen also remembered that the small restaurant had no rice to cook some time ago, so he naturally believed what he said.He doesn't want to talk about other people's family affairs, but arson cases are always strictly investigated, so he looked at the mild-faced little boss in front of him with a serious face, and assured him: "Thank you for providing the information, and please let me know." Boss, don't worry, we will definitely capture the person who set the fire as soon as possible and give you an explanation."
"Then thank you sir."
Seeing that the servant Gao was about to lead the rest of the people away, Chen Xing hurriedly gave them the four packs of jerky that he ordered the shop to pack just now.Until they refused and left with the dried meat, he looked at the backs of the four of them and muttered, "I hope they can catch the murderer soon, otherwise there will always be a feeling of fear."
Gu Lang glanced at the place Chen Xing was looking at, and said in a low voice: "I believe they will catch him soon, don't worry! After the store is closed, I will ask Qiu Jiu and the others to find that man. If you find someone, you might be able to figure it out. Let’s recall together later, and I will draw a few portraits of that person so that we can find him.”
Chen Xing felt that what Gu Lang said made sense, so he nodded without much entanglement, "Yes."
Seeing that Chen Xing's complexion improved a lot, Gu Lang didn't look as troubled as before, and a smile appeared on the corners of his lips.It's just that the smile stopped abruptly when he caught sight of the injury on his wrist from the corner of the eye, and he almost forgot the most important thing.
"We don't have anything to do right now, why don't we draw the portrait now, so as not to have a biased memory of that person's appearance later."
Chen Xing was still trying to recall the appearance of that man, for fear that he might miss something, and he would not be able to explain clearly to Gu Lang later, so he felt his hand being held up by someone, and then directly met Gu Lang. A look of pity on his face. "Don't worry, I'll give you some medicine first, so that your hands don't hurt when you're late."
Facing Gu Lang's gaze, Chen Xing always felt a little uncomfortable. It wasn't a serious injury, it was just a bruise. He felt that there was no need to make such a fuss.
However, Gu Lang shook his head in disapproval, looked at the disobedient Chen Xing and said, "After taking the medicine, I can feel more at ease."
Chen Xing's face turned red, and he didn't argue with Gu Lang any more, he could only let him hold his hand and apply the ointment carefully.
Looking at the thin layer on his wrist, Chen Xing felt that the medicine was a bit miraculous. It always felt like there were some burning scratches after applying it, but now it disappeared.He turned his wrist quite curiously, looked at Gu Lang who was putting his head down to put away the ointment, and said, "Where did you buy this ointment, how can it be so effective, it doesn't feel at all after rubbing it on."
Gu Lang lowered his eyebrows, slowly put away the porcelain vase, and said flatly: "I bought it when I was outside. By the way, let's draw a portrait, so as not to run out of time later."
Hearing what Gu Lang said, Chen Xing didn't worry too much, and sat beside him to accompany him to recall the appearance of that person today, and draw that person's appearance.Chen Xing was originally worried that he would not be able to remember well, and that he would not be able to draw the portrait well. Who knew he hadn't said anything yet, but Gu Lang drew the appearance of that young man with just a few strokes, leaving him stunned.
After Gu Lang finished drawing the first painting, he directly brought it in front of Chen Xing, and asked him, "Do you think it looks like it?"
Chen Xing felt that there was a resemblance here and there, it was so resembling, okay? He nodded like a chicken pecking rice, and praised without hesitation: "I have never seen a person who can draw a person with pen and ink before." So like, you are simply too powerful."
Hearing Chen Xing's sincere praise, Gu Lang also showed a smile on his face. Just when the two looked at each other and smiled, and the atmosphere was very warm, a figure rushed in from outside the door. Just head straight for the counter.
"Boss, I got some useful news."
Chen Xing was taken aback, but he took a closer look at Qiuwu who was sent out to inquire about the news today. He stared at Chen Xing and the others with sparkling eyes, and said excitedly: "Young master, I went to inquire clearly today. The lamp oil I found was very expensive, and there are only four families in the whole town who can afford it, the Chen family, the Zhao family, the Shen family and the Fu family."
Hearing that the Chen family was involved, Chen Xing vaguely had an idea in his heart that he could definitely use this incident to teach the Chen family a lesson.After all, what they did during this time was a bit too much.It's just that he only has this clue that is not evidence, and he feels that it is not enough. He has to produce some more solid evidence to prove his conjecture.
Gu Lang listened at the side, and after Qiuwu finished speaking, he handed him the portrait he had just drawn, and said to him: "We know, next you take this painting, and Qiuwu Ninth, they went to find someone together, and if they found someone, they would bring them directly to the Gu family."
Qiuwu took the portrait, looked at the young man on it, and nodded confidently, "Boss, don't worry, I will bring you back soon."
After Gu Lang nodded, Qiu Wu ran away in a hurry, looking like he should go to find Qiu Jiu to work together.
After Qiu Wu left, Chen Xing looked at Gu Lang, his eyes sparkling with excitement, "I remember that arson is a felony, if it is done by the Chen family, what punishment will they receive?"
Although Chen Xing took over the body of the original body, he was not himself after all, so naturally he had no sense of belonging to the Chen family.Later, when they exchanged him as a commodity for Gu Lang's dowry, he felt that even if it was the kindness of childbirth, he had paid it off for the original body.
To him, the current Chen family can only be regarded as strangers, and these strangers repeatedly attack their small shop for things that do not belong to them. He feels that this is already his Bottom line.It's not that he can't fight back, but he hasn't found a chance to fight back yet.Seeing an opportunity right in front of him now, he couldn't help but feel a little excited.
Gu Lang didn't understand why Chen Xing, who was fine just now, suddenly became excited. He just looked at his bright eyes, thought for a while, and thought about how to make him not hug him so much without dampening his enthusiasm. expectations.It's just that he thought about it for a long time, and finally decided to tell the truth,
"We still need more evidence. Now the Chen family's arson is just our guess, and we still don't know who set the fire. If we find out that the fire is really related to the Chen family, But as long as they randomly find someone to take the blame, then we still have nothing to do with them."
At the beginning, Chen Xing was only thinking about the miserable situation of the Chen family, and never thought of the option of finding someone to take the blame. Now that he was reminded by Gu Lang, he immediately became nervous, and asked in a panic: "Then what should we do?" what to do?"
Gu Lang looked at him, hooked the corners of his lips, smoothed out the broken hair on his cheeks with him, and said softly: "Of course, we should find out who set the fire before we startle the snake."
Chen Xing looked at Gu Lang's smile, his eyes flickered a few times, he didn't know if it was his illusion, he always felt that Gu Lang's smile was a bit strange just now, as if he was planning some kind of huge conspiracy.

In the next two days, neither the yamen nor Qiu Jiu, who went out, brought back any news.
This made Chen Xing a little annoyed, and even began to wonder whether this matter would become more and more uncontrollable as time went on if no clues could be found.
Sitting on a chair in the backyard, Chen Xing sighed silently as he looked at the kitchen in front of him that had already started repairing.
Just when Chen Xing was wondering if he would be kicked out if he went to the yamen to inquire in person, Qiu Jiu who had been out for two days suddenly ran back, stood in front of him, and said excitedly: "Little boss, do you want to go out?" The person we are looking for, we have already caught, do you want to go and have a look?"
Hearing Qiu Jiu's words, Chen Xing's eyes lit up immediately. He was already too excited, subconsciously ignored the word 'catch' in Qiu Jiu's tone, and just said excitedly: "You have found someone, Where is it now?"
Qiu Jiu was unambiguous at all, and said directly: "Didn't the young master tell us to send him back to the mansion after we catch him? He is right there now, and the young master is interrogating."
"Go, let's go back quickly!"
When Chen Xingfei ran back home and saw the two young people who might know about it, he was almost startled.The clothes that were clean at first were as dirty as if they had been rolled in mud, and the two ordinary faces were covered with bruises, which looked like they had suffered a lot.
Chen Xing's originally excited mood subconsciously subconsciously eased up a lot, and even the pace of walking in was a lot lighter, until he came to Gu Lang's side, poked the expressionless man, and said softly: "What are they doing? What happened, Qiu Jiu and the others did it?" Although he really wanted to know the truth of the matter, he also felt that violence was not advisable!
Gu Lang just glanced at Chen Xing, and quickly understood what was going on in his heart. He shook his head, and replied flatly, "No, they fell by themselves."
"Then they fell a bit hard!" Chen Xing sighed, and when he saw the two men looking at him resentfully, he coughed guiltyly, and immediately changed the subject: "Did you ask?"
Gu Lang shook his head, and said calmly: "I want to wait for you to come and ask you. Don't worry, they promised just now that no matter what you ask, they will answer honestly."
Chen Xing felt that Gu Lang's words were a bit weird, but for a while he couldn't figure out what was wrong, so he simply didn't think about it.He quickly came to the two men, cleared his throat, and said unceremoniously: "Did you two start the fire in our shop?"
Hearing his words, those two people looked at Gu Lang behind Chen Xing in fear, and shook their heads desperately.
Chen Xing frowned, and continued: "You two didn't set it off, so how did you act like a guilty conscience last time? Do you know who set it off?"
Now, the two young men looked at each other, and then the young man who took the initiative to talk to Chen Xing last time took the initiative to speak, "We are not sure whether it was that person who set the fire, we were going to make sure in the next few days , and ended up being arrested by you, no, I was invited back."
As he spoke, he carefully looked at the man behind him. He didn't know what the origin of this man was. Anyway, he looked gentle and weak. It was really scary that he had so many methods of torture.
Chen Xing didn't notice his strangeness, but felt that what they said was a bit strange, after thinking about it, he said: "You didn't let it go, why did you run so fast last time?"
When the young man heard Chen Xing's question, his expression was tangled, and then he turned his head and glanced at his companion. After seeing him nodding towards him, he gritted his teeth and said their plan, "Originally, we planned to use this For the first time, to blackmail a sum of money. That's why we didn't talk when you asked us that day. "
Chen Xing didn't think of this reason at all, but then he figured it out. He probably thought it would be useless to tell him, but it's different to blackmail them. They can get a lot of money.But this also shows in a disguised form that the person they want to blackmail should be richer than them, otherwise these two people would not be able to stay away from each other.
Chen Xing didn't have the patience to go around in circles anymore. He just looked at them and asked straightforwardly: "Is that person you are talking about from the Chen family? Who is he from the Chen family?"
The young man and his accomplice looked at each other, and then said with some confusion: "We don't know who it is, but we watched the man come out of the inner courtyard and entered the door of the Chen family along the way. It should be Are you from the Chen family?"
At this point, Chen Xing then asked: "How tall, how old, and what are the characteristics?"
The young man recalled it, his face was a little weird, but he answered honestly, "The two of them don't look very tall, they are of ordinary women's figure, and when I saw them go in, the others were very polite. The leader should have a relatively high status in the mansion, and the person behind her still calls her Miss. By the way, the person at the front desk is still wearing a veil, and he seems to be only sixteen or seventeen years old."
Hearing the young man's description, a savage figure flashed in Chen Xing's mind for an instant, and then he was blinded for a moment, and he murmured in disbelief: "Impossible!? How could it be her?"
