However, he also noticed something, that is, whether intentionally or unintentionally, Deng Chengfeng avoided the question he asked him about whether he was familiar with Zhang Taijiang.
In this situation, Yong Ming is not in a hurry to make his own judgment.
Now, after all, we are at the stage of understanding the incident and exploring the whole story, so it is not appropriate to make a decision directly.
Regarding Deng Chengfeng's situation, Yong Ming felt that he still needed to observe it patiently before making a judgment.
After Sheng Qingfeng finished questioning Deng Chengfeng about the case situation that he wanted to know, Yong Ming asked Deng Chengfeng for confirmation about the snuff bottle.
The result of this verification was exactly as Yong Ming had expected, this snuff bottle did not belong to Deng Chengfeng.
But after Deng Chengfeng heard Yong Ming ask about this snuff bottle, his feedback surprised Yong Ming.
This surprise came from the fact that Deng Chengfeng actually knew about this snuff bottle.
However, he didn't know whose snuff bottle belonged to him.
When you hear it this way, it may make people feel strange. I know that there is this snuff bottle, but I don’t know who the snuff bottle belongs to. Isn’t it a very contradictory thing?
After hearing Deng Chengfeng's answer to him, Yong Ming said with a clear conscience: "Brother Deng, can I understand what you said this way?
That is, you know that this snuff bottle exists, but you don't know when it appeared.
It doesn't belong to you, but you also don't know who it belongs to, do you?"
"Yes, dear brother. This is what I want to express."
Seeing that Yong Ming understood his thoughts so well, Deng Chengfeng nodded quickly and said.
At this time, Yong Ming glanced at Sheng Qingfeng intentionally or unintentionally.
After Sheng Qingfeng's eyes met Yong Ming's, he immediately coughed softly and asked Deng Chengfeng: "Boss Deng, since you know so much about the situation of this snuff bottle.
Can you recall when it appeared in your tea house?
Who specifically brought it?"
Following Yong Ming's suggestion, Sheng Qingfeng lost no time in interjecting and asking Deng Chengfeng these two questions.
After closing his eyes and thinking about it, Deng Chengfeng replied: "Brother, this snuff bottle should not have appeared in the tea house for more than ten days.
I had never seen this snuff bottle before.
Moreover, after seeing this snuff bottle, I picked it up and played with it out of curiosity.
Because I had never seen such a delicate thing, I even opened the lid of this snuff bottle and smelled it. It smelled like a normal camphor for waking up the brain.
However, since I was not in the habit of using the snuff bottle, I put it back on the tea table where I found it.
I wonder if some customer accidentally left it here when he came to the tea house to buy tea?
I put this snuff bottle on the tea table so that it can be easily returned to the owner when he comes back to look for it.
Unexpectedly, the snuff bottle has been placed on the tea table and no one has come to pick it up.
Until that day, when Mr. Zhang came to the tea house to buy tea, the snuff bottle was always placed on the tea table.
I would like to ask, is this snuff bottle related to the poisoning and murder case that happened in my tea house?"
When Sheng Qingfeng heard what Deng Chengfeng said, he couldn't help but frown.
Sheng Qingfeng thought to himself that according to Deng Chengfeng's words, the emergence of this snuff bottle was an "unsolved case" with no answer.
Moreover, after the snuff bottle appeared, he picked it up and played with it, which is a reasonable explanation for leaving his fingerprints on it.
However, in my own tea house, something that was not there before appeared, so picking it up and checking it out is indeed an understandable move.
Sheng Qingfeng felt that Deng Chengfeng, who was sitting across from the reception room, definitely looked like a careless person.
Deng Chengfeng is definitely a thoughtful person.
This is a feeling Sheng Qingfeng has increasingly felt after communicating with him.
After Sheng Qingfeng glanced at Yong Ming, he continued to ask Deng Chengfeng: "Boss Deng, when you placed this snuff bottle on the tea table, did you put it in a conspicuous position, or did you deliberately hide it?
"
"I put it in a conspicuous place on the tea table so that the owner of the snuff bottle can see it at a glance when he returns to the tea house to look for it after discovering the lost snuff bottle."
Deng Chengfeng replied.
"Boss Deng, you just put the snuff bottle that doesn't belong to you directly on the tea table. Aren't you afraid that someone might see this exquisite snuff bottle and get greedy, take it away and keep it as their own?
"
Sheng Qingfeng combined Deng Chengfeng's words and expressed his worries.
When Deng Chengfeng heard Sheng Qingfeng's question, he not only pursed his lips, pondered for a moment, and said: "Brother, you don't know something. All the customers who come to my store are basically old customers, repeat customers, and strangers."
Not much.
After many years of business dealings, we can say that we have a close friendship with each other.
They and I are all old friends, and I know their character very well. It is impossible for anyone to covet something that does not belong to them and take it directly as their own.
There is no such person among my clients."
Deng Chengfeng trusts his customers and speaks confidently to defend them.
After finishing speaking, Deng Chengfeng felt he was still unfinished and added: "Generally, people who don't need or don't like to use snuff bottles will not be interested in snuff bottles."
After Deng Chengfeng finished speaking, Sheng Qingfeng turned to look at Yong Ming.
Although Sheng Qingfeng did not speak, his meaning was very obvious, that he was thinking about what questions Yong Ming had to ask Deng Chengfeng.
If there are no more problems, according to Sheng Qingfeng's wishes, today's meeting and exchange with Deng Chengfeng can be concluded.
Yong Ming looked at Deng Chengfeng and suddenly asked: "Brother Deng, after this snuff bottle appeared, has anyone opened the snuff bottle and used it?
If not, then this snuff bottle has nothing to do with the case of someone being poisoned and killed in your teahouse."
Yong Ming straightforwardly gave his own judgment criteria on the issues that Deng Chengfeng was concerned about just now.
The question that Yong Ming asked now is very critical.
After realizing this, Deng Chengfeng couldn't help but let Deng Chengfeng recall it carefully and did not dare to give an answer rashly.
Yong Ming knew the reason for Deng Chengfeng's caution, so he was very calm and did not rush Deng Chengfeng to answer.
