"Okay, I'm done talking, I'm leaving first." Seeing this, Shopkeeper Qian stood up and said.
"Wait a minute!" When Xiang Nan saw it, he stretched out his hand to stop him, "I was just about to go find you, but you just came by yourself."
"What's the matter?" Shopkeeper Qian asked quickly.
"Of course it's about the theft of money from your Wanli Pawn Shop." Xiang Nan explained, "I wanted to ask you just now. Now is the time, so I'll ask you."
"Ah?! Are you still checking?" Shopkeeper Qian said in shock.
He originally thought that if such a big thing happened, the fifty taels of silver would be gone, but he didn't expect Xiang Nan to hold on to it and continue to investigate.
"Then if you think I'm nosy, you can go to the Yamen and sell this piece of paper. It will save you trouble and I will save trouble." Xiang Nan said, "Otherwise, if something is really found out in the future, it won't be a matter of a word."
"I..." Shopkeeper Qian was stunned for a moment. After weighing the pros and cons, he nodded, "Okay, then just ask me."
"Old Qian..." Tong Xiangyu looked at Shopkeeper Qian with prayer in his eyes.
She was already sure that shopkeeper Qian had stolen the money, but if he refused to admit it, others would inevitably be suspected, misunderstood, investigated, and questioned.
Just like the last time Bai Zhantang stole a finger, the city was in trouble and the people were in dire straits. She didn't want to make the same mistake again, and she wanted Shopkeeper Qian to tell the truth.
Shopkeeper Qian hesitated for a moment, but finally made up his mind.
When he thought about it, his wife went back to fetch reinforcements. There are people from one martial arts school, plus a dozen brothers, what a fighting force this is. No matter how powerful the Three Musketeers of Hengshan are, can they defeat so many people? In the end, his wife prevailed.
If he were to be dismissed now, his wife would definitely know that he had stolen the money. Even if she secretly hid three pennies, she would punish her. Fifty taels of silver, if his wife knew about it, his life would be over.
Each of his uncles punched him, and he was healed and became a cripple. So it was the lesser of two evils, and he decided to be questioned.
…
Seeing that he was stubborn, Xiang Nan was not polite and started asking directly.
"Where were you last night and this morning?" he then asked.
Shopkeeper Qian rolled his eyes and replied, "At home, with my wife. We took a rest after taking stock of the inventory. When we got up early, I had breakfast with my wife, and then we went to the counter to prepare for the opening... …”
Xiang Nan smiled and said, "In other words, from last night to this morning, you and your wife have always been together? Have you never been separated for a moment?"
"Yes." Shopkeeper Qian affirmed.
"Okay, then tell me in detail everything you did after you got up early. I mean everything, even if you burped and farted, you have to say it." Xiang Nan asked.
"What are you going to do?" Shopkeeper Qian heard this and asked angrily, "Do you think I am a thief?"
"Shopkeeper Qian, why are you so excited? It's you who asked me to investigate. You also want to get the money back, so shouldn't you cooperate with my investigation?" Xiang Nan said calmly, "If you didn't If you have done it, then tell the truth and this will clear your suspicion."
"Yes." Shopkeeper Qian was speechless and had no choice but to nod.
"Remember, you must tell the truth and never lie, because I can tell if you lie." Xiang Nan reminded again, "Maybe you don't know, there are actually many things that can tell whether a person is lying. method.
For example, when a person answers what he did last night, if he is telling the truth, his eyes will usually look to the lower left; if he is telling a lie, his eyes will usually look to the upper right. "
"Why?" Guo Furong asked puzzledly.
"Because the human brain is divided into two parts, the right brain is responsible for imagination, and the left brain is responsible for memory. If he tells the truth, there is no need to make up at all, so his eyes subconsciously look to the lower left. On the contrary, if his eyes look to the upper right, he will It shows that his words are fictitious..." Xiang Nan explained.
"Really?" Everyone felt very fresh when they heard it.
"If you don't believe me, try it yourself." Xiang Nan said with a smile.
When everyone heard it, they all tried it one after another.
Sure enough, I found that if I tell the truth, my eyes usually look to the lower left. On the contrary, if you are lying, your eyes will usually look to the upper right.
"Wow, Big Mouth, you are so awesome. How did you find out?" Guo Furong asked in surprise.
"I learned it by watching "Lieme"." Xiang Nan explained.
"Oh~" Everyone suddenly understood.
Shopkeeper Qian saw that Xiang Nan really had a way of distinguishing between truth and lies. His psychological pressure suddenly increased, his heartbeat began to accelerate, and he felt out of breath.
…
"Shopkeeper Qian, tell me again, everything you did this morning..." Xiang Nan asked immediately.
Shopkeeper Qian was stunned for a moment, and sweat appeared on his nervous forehead.
"Say it." Xiang Nan scolded.
Shopkeeper Qian was startled and could only begin to narrate, "I got up at 00:00 this morning, put on my clothes, and then had breakfast with my wife..."
"Wait a minute, you have breakfast right after you get up, and you don't even need to wash up?" Xiang Nan asked immediately.
Upon hearing this, Tong Xiangyu and Guo Furong looked at him with disgust.
"Yes, I'll get up, put on clothes, wash up, and then have breakfast with my wife." Shopkeeper Qian said quickly.
"Why didn't you say it just now? I said it, you have to say everything." Xiang Nan scolded, "Continue talking about what happened before and after washing. Did you wash up immediately after getting up?"
"Yes." Shopkeeper Qian said immediately.
"Didn't you go to the toilet?" Xiang Nan asked.
"Come on, come on. After I put on my clothes, I went to the toilet first, then washed up, and then had breakfast with my wife." Shopkeeper Qian said quickly.
"Do you use the toilet inside the house or outside the house?" Xiang Nan asked again.
"Outside the house." Shopkeeper Qian replied.
"Lie." Xiang Nan slapped the table, "You just said that you and your wife have been together since you got up this morning and have not been separated for a moment. Do you want to take your wife with you when you go to the toilet outside the house?"
"I..." Shopkeeper Qian was startled and looked up and to the right involuntarily.
"Hey, he's going to lie, he's going to lie." Guo Furong shouted immediately when she saw it.
Everyone can see it too.
Shopkeeper Qian was shocked and couldn't help but break out in cold sweat.
"Qian Wanjin, why haven't you told me that you went to the warehouse to steal money under the pretense of going to the toilet?! Do you want me to be severely punished?" Xiang Nan shouted when he saw this.
Shopkeeper Qian was frightened by him, and his psychological defense completely collapsed. He finally lowered his head and said, "Okay, I'll say it, I'll say it."
It turned out that his wife had been very strict with him and wouldn't even let him eat enough. Therefore, he often went to Zuojiazhuang and Shibalipu to perform dental rituals in the name of business negotiations.
But the tooth-beating ceremony always requires money, so he got up early this morning and secretly ran to the warehouse to get fifty taels of silver under the pretense of going to the bathroom.
