Chapter 406: [406] Mr. Tang is a Master of Physiognomy_1
Shi Jingpeng said that recently, only three groups of guests had visited his home.
Aside from Hao Yi and Ma Guimei, there was also his younger brother Shi Jinghe and his family.
Because it was the weekend, Shi Jinghe had brought his wife and two children over for a visit and left after only half a day.
Now, with the first two already cleared by Tang Feng, Shi Jinghe and his family undoubtedly became the prime suspects.
During the wait, Shi Jingpeng was extremely anxious.
This was indeed a torment for him.
...
Deep down, he did not want to suspect anyone.
But the pocket watch was too important to him, a matter of life and death, and he couldn’t afford to be soft-hearted.
This time, they didn’t have to wait too long either.
About fifteen minutes later, they heard the sound of brakes from outside.
Shi Jingpeng knew his brother’s family had arrived and quickly got up to go outside.
He was in such a hurry that he stumbled over a chair.
This detail also revealed the panic in his heart.
Tang Feng and the others remained motionless in the living room.
After a while, they saw a line of people led into the room by Shi Jingpeng.
At the head was a man in his fifties who bore some resemblance to Shi Jingpeng; he must be his younger brother, Shi Jinghe.
Next to Shi Jinghe was a woman also in her fifties.
She was well maintained, but her complexion was a bit ugly.
Probably because she was unhappy about being called over in the middle of the night.
Behind them were a seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl and an eight or nine-year-old boy, probably their children.
“Big brother, what on earth has happened?” @@novelbin@@
Shi Jinghe asked curiously as he walked in.
Shi Jingpeng had only said on the phone that there was an urgent matter and asked them to come to the house immediately, without explaining what it was.
“This…” Shi Jingpeng spoke hesitantly for a long time, not knowing how to start with his brother.
Zhou Bingrui was impatient, so seeing him beat around the bush, he took the initiative to speak, “Mr. Shi’s home has lost something very important, so we’ve called everyone who has been to his house recently to rule out any suspects.”
Shi Jinghe was initially stunned, but then looked at his brother with concern, “What did you lose? Did you report it to the police?”
His first reaction was not anger at being suspected, but concern about what valuable item his brother had lost.
But the wife standing beside him had her face darken rapidly, “Big brother, what do you mean by this? Are you suspecting us of stealing your things?”
Shi Jingpeng waved his hands in a panic, “Sister-in-law, don’t get me wrong, I didn’t mean that, it’s just… this item is really important to big brother, so…”
“So what? So you suspect it was us who stole it?”
The woman’s face was full of indignation, “That day, I originally didn’t want to come, but Jinghe said you guys are brothers and should visit more often, and he dragged us here. Now look what happened, you actually suspect us? If that’s the case, we better not visit each other in the future.”
Shi Jingpeng became anxious, fearing such a situation, “Sister-in-law, I hope you can understand big brother; I really had no other choice.”
The woman, however, was unyielding, “What no other choice? You have no other choice but to suspect your own younger brother of stealing your things?”
“I didn’t suspect him…”
“Oh, now I finally understand. You didn’t suspect him, you’re suspecting me, right? It makes sense; after all, he’s your blood brother, these two little ones are your nephew and niece, all from the Shi family. It’s just me who’s an outsider, you’re suspecting me, right?”
The woman’s words were very sharp, barraging him nonstop and leaving Shi Jingpeng unable to get a word in.
At this point, Shi Jinghe could no longer bear it, “How can you talk to big brother like that? Apologize to him right now.”
The woman suddenly felt wronged, “Why should I apologize? I’ve been accused of theft for no reason, isn’t that unjust?”
“Still talking back? Believe it or not, I’ll slap you?”
“You want to hit me, too? Come on, do it, hit me in front of the children, let your son and daughter see how imposing their father is.”
The more they talked, the angrier they got, and it looked like they were about to come to blows.
Shi Jingpeng tried to intervene, but they simply wouldn’t listen.
“Is there no end to this?”
Just then, Tang Feng, who had been watching quietly from the side, suddenly spoke up.
His voice wasn’t loud, but it carried an authority that could not be ignored.
The two who were arguing fell silent instantly and turned to look at him.
“Big brother, who is this?” Shi Jinghe asked, looking at his brother with confusion.
“Ahem, this is Mr. Tang; he’s the one I’ve asked to help investigate,” Shi Jingpeng quickly introduced Tang Feng’s identity, and then added, “Mr. Tang is a Master of Physiognomy.”
The Shi family members all looked at Tang Feng, their curiosity piqued.
Asking a Master of Physiognomy for help investigating?
Isn’t this a joke?
By then, Tang Feng had already approached the four of them, a harmless smile on his face, “Hello, I am here on behalf of Mr. Shi to investigate this case, and it was also my request to have you come here. I hope you will cooperate with my inquiry.”
Shi Jinghe nodded, “No problem, how do you need us to cooperate?”
Tang Feng glanced around, suddenly approached the coffee table, picked up an apple from the fruit plate, and then found a string to tie it up.
Everyone watched bewildered, clueless about what he intended to do.
Tang Feng didn’t have a choice, even though his scanning system didn’t need any props to detect information.
But he had to use some props as a cover, so it wouldn’t be too astonishing.
After tying the apple, he returned to Shi Jinghe’s side, “Watch this apple and don’t blink.”
He started to gently sway the apple as he spoke.
Shi Jinghe watched the apple intently, careful not to make any mistakes.
Meanwhile, Tang Feng had activated his scanning system, and Shi Jingpeng’s personal information quickly appeared before his eyes.
All the people in the room watched the scene in awe, not even daring to breathe too loudly.
“Alright, next one.”
Tang Feng’s lips curled slightly as he turned to look at Shi Jinghe’s wife.
What do you think?
