Lin Shanjiang's face became more solemn. He frowned and paced while analyzing: "As long as he rents out the shop at a low price, for example, 10,000 taels can be used for three years. Then what if the next tenant is the same as next door? Will the chatting with tenants make the whole commercial street uneasy? I can only say that if it is really him, then what they want is not this little rent, but the life of the prince and princess. It’s not easy.”

Lin Zhen felt goosebumps all over her body as she listened to his analysis. Are there really such terrible people in the world? She couldn't believe it and didn't want to believe it. She trusted the tenant so much that she gave him the most enthusiastic attitude and the best price. If it was really this man who did it, wouldn't it be a slap in her face? Her heart was filled with confusion and pain, and she didn't know how to face this fact.

Seeing her sad expression, Lin Shanjiang couldn't bear it. He sighed, patted her shoulder, and said: "Miss Lin, you don't have to blame yourself too much. This matter is not your fault. We just speculated based on common sense. After all, his behavior is indeed somewhat suspicious. However, This is just a possibility and we need further investigation and verification.”

Lin Zhen nodded, but tears flowed down unconsciously. She didn't know whether she was crying for the tenant or grieving for her own stupidity. She just felt that her heart was so tired and tired.

Lin Shanjiang looked at her and felt a little sad. He knew that she was a kind and simple girl who had been working hard to run her own shop and never thought of hurting anyone. This matter was really too heavy for her.

"Okay, let's list him as the number one suspect for now. Next, we will analyze the two boys." Lin Shanjiang quickly changed the topic. He didn't want Lin Zhen to be immersed in pain anymore, "These two boys , one is called Ah Fu and the other is called A Gui. They are usually very honest and honest. However, recently I found something unusual about them."

"What's wrong?" Lin Zhen wiped her tears and asked.

"Afu has always been mysterious recently, and sometimes sneaks out secretly. Agui is okay, but he has also become very close to a tenant these days. I wonder if they have been bribed. Lin Shanjiang said.

Lin Zhen was shocked. She remembered what happened a few days ago. That day, she went to the study room on the commercial street, but she didn't see Ah Fu. When I asked everyone around me, they all said they didn’t know. Later, a woman told her that he was in the teahouse on the corner of the street. He also said that he was having tea and snacks with a stranger, looking very mysterious. She didn't think much about it. She just thought that Ah Fu might have something to deal with, so she didn't ask anyone to call him back.

Thinking about it now, Lin Zhen felt that she was too naive. Why didn't she think that Ah Fu might have been bribed? If so, could what he was talking to the stranger be about the shop? Could he have stolen the account book?

In short, she would rather have it stolen by a boy than by that gentle and polite man today.

"There is another thing that I think is a bit suspicious." Lin Shanjiang continued, "A few days ago, I was in the study and saw a strange man through the window. He was dressed in black and held a fan in front of his face. His face couldn't be seen clearly. He walked around in several shops and came out quickly. He didn't look like he was buying anything, and he didn't see him renting a house. After looking at four or five shops, he He left in a hurry."

Lin Zhen's heart tightened as she remembered what happened that day. She also saw the man in black. There is no way, that abrupt figure is very conspicuous on the street.

At that time, she thought he looked familiar, as if she had seen him somewhere. Thinking about it now, the figure and accent of the man in black were very similar to someone she knew.

"Brother Lin, could this person you are talking about be..." Lin Zhen hesitated.

"Who is it?" Lin Shanjiang asked.

Lin Zhen bit her lower lip and said, "It's a friend of mine. His name is Li San. He is a businessman and often does business all over the country. He has a grocery store in Yizhou.

He spends about a quarter of the year in Yizhou. I met him in a shop on the street. I went to check and he went to buy something. He is a very talented man and has a great sense of justice. There is no smell of copper in the body.

Usually when he sees a beggar, he will give him food. We got along very well and became friends. "

Lin Shanjiang frowned slightly: How long has Lin Zhen been here? Aren't you usually very busy? Why do you always meet some men from outside?

Looking at Lin Zhen's increasingly delicate skin and face that was at least ten years younger than when she first arrived, Lin Shanjiang felt a sense of urgency for the first time.

He was well aware of his admiration for Lin Zhen, but he had always buried it deep in his heart and never revealed it.

First of all, it was because he was overwhelmed by recent busy affairs, and Lin Zhen was also very busy, so he had to put this relationship on hold for the time being and wait until they both had free time to discuss it again.

Secondly, it is also because no matter how stubborn he is, he always finds it difficult to say anything to the person he likes and is afraid of being rejected, so he would rather maintain the status quo than take the risk.

Looking at Lin Zhen who was getting brighter and brighter, Lin Shanjiang suddenly realized that he was so stupid!

Such an outstanding girl, what on earth is he hesitating about? She was brought from his hometown through careful planning. If because of his timidity, she ends up marrying someone else, he will probably be heartbroken! It is possible to burst into tears so much that they can tear down the Great Wall!

Then... confess your love later? Want to send something? what to give? Rouge and gouache that girls like?

She doesn't seem to like dressing up. I never see her applying anything to her face, at most it's just medicated oil.

Then send cloth? Lin Zhen likes to be a female celebrity, so she gives her cloth and lets her make some beautiful clothes.

Although he thinks this gift is a bit cheap, even if he wants to buy ready-made clothes, he doesn't know her size.

Lin Shanjiang was thinking about his and Lin Zhen's future at the moment, and his thoughts had already drifted into the distance, noisy like thousands of horses galloping.

"Brother Lin..." Lin Zhen was a little scared when she saw Lin Shanjiang didn't speak for a long time.

"Lin Zhen, do you suspect that Li San has anything to do with this matter?" Lin Shanjiang asked as he recovered his thoughts.

Lin Zhen said: "I don't know, but I think he is unlikely."

Unlikely again!

Lin Shanjiang asked with a dark face: "Is it written on his face that I am a good person?"

Lin Zhen paused and suddenly blushed like a ripe apple: "I feel that the way he looks at people from time to time is a bit silly and sweet, like a dull puppy, always looking with wet eyes. Looking at you, people can't help but want to touch his head."
