[Clues]
Chen Xing commanded the manual laborer to do their work, calculating that when the official came to see, and after those evidence are collected, he will let the craftsmen to repair, but this time he has to pay attention to it, must think of ways to get more water storage place, or add more heat insulation things, lest next time it catch on fire again.
Just when Chen Xing racked his brains to think of how to build, in order to do it on the safest time. Gu Lang has brought a few officials back. Looking at the officials from afar, Chen Xing was still a little surprised, he originally thought that in such a case, at most two people to record or take note a little, did not think that all of a sudden four people came.
When they entered the door, Gu Lang introduced Chen Xing: “This is the High Rank Yamen attendant in charge of the case, and this is my wife.”
The high magistrate is a tall and thin young man, his face looks a bit cold and harsh, but when he heard Gu Lang’s introduction, he laughed and said towards Chen Xing: “Little boss, my wife loves to eat your stew meat here.”
Chen Xing smiled politely, “Thanks for liking it.”
That yamen attendant does not look like a talkative person, but able to talk, and chat a couple of sentences before saying goodbye to Chen Xing, and followed Gu Lang into the ‘collection of evidence’ division to go.
Waiting for them to go in, Chen Xing also didn’t be idle, he went to the small stove’s side, seeing whether they needed help or not, after confirming that they can complete it independently, he went back to the front desk to attend there.
Chen Xing stood back to the counter, glanced at the door at the person who stuck his head out and looked around. He looked very much wanted to come in to see, but did not know for what reason to stop. That man was only in his early twenties, dressed in gray clothes, did not look rich, and even looked rather embarrassed
Chen Xing felt that he should want to come in to taste the food, but because he was too embarrassingly short of money so in front of their front door, he didn’t dare to step forward.
In order to avoid that man’s embarrassment, Chen Xing removed his eyes from his body, and looked elsewhere. However, he soon heard a distorted voice ringing in his ears, “Shop Manager, didn’t you guys have a fire here last night?”
Chen Xing’s heart froze, He turned his head to look at the direction of the conversation, only to see just now there is some distance from the youth. Not knowing when he came to his front; at this time, a complicated face staring at himself.
Chen Xing looked at his expression, somewhat doubtful, finally considering it yet still opened his mouth and said: “Yesterday here, there was indeed a fire accident, but because of extinguishing it in time, so it did not cause any loss.”
That man, hearing his words, revealed ‘sure enough’ such expression; he then saw Chen Xing who had been staring at him. He also startled, his face showing a constraint or embarrassed feeling, “Boss, why are you looking at me like this?”
Chen Xing put on a soothing smile, looked at him and said in a gentle voice: “I don’t know how Gong Zi knew that my small restaurant was on fire yesterday. Did you see something? If you know any information, tell me, I will also give you some silver/ money as a thank you gift.”
That man heard him say so. He hesitated, finally as if he did not know what he recalled about, he raised his eyes to look at Chen Xing. His eyes flicker a little as he said in a hurry: “No, I did not see anything, I will leave first then.”
Looking at the back figure of the man who left, Chen Xing pursed lips, intuition tells him that this man must know something, otherwise he will not have this kind of reaction. He can not manage to care about others. He ran out from the counter, towards the direction of the man who left and chased him up.
“Yes…, indeed…, let’s …… knock him….”
When Chen Xing caught up with that person, only to see that youth’s pleasantly surprised face with a person similarly dressed with him, enthusiastically said something.
The sound Chen Xing heard was not that real, however he vaguely felt that they must have seen something, he immediately cared about nothing at all as he rushed over and grabbed that person’s sleeve and said: “If you know then tell me directly. This is a very important matter to us.”
