Chapter 80

To everyone's surprise, the jade pendant had been posted for two days, and no one came to claim it. Not only that, but the team that was salvaging the dead body in the river did not hear good news.

Lu Xizhi stared at the jade pendant in her hand. It was a cute rabbit. She didn't understand jade, but from Yuan Yanxi and Wang Yuanzhi's mouth, she somehow knew that this piece of jade was not only of excellent quality, but also carved by a master craftsman. Not cheap.

It stands to reason that with such conditions, the search scope has been narrowed down a lot, so it should be easy to find talents. Why is there no news at all after two days?

She played with the jade pendant with one hand and propped her cheek with the other, puzzled.

"Pity it." Wang Yuanzhi walked in and called her.

Lu Xizhi answered absent-mindedly: "Huh?"

"The quality of the corpse's clothes is also very good, I'm afraid..." Wang Yuanzhi hesitated to speak.

"What? Is there any new discovery?" Lu Xizhi regained his energy.

"I'm afraid it's not something that can be bought in the market, but..." Wang Yuanzhi gestured in an upward direction with his hand, "Then it was given by the above."

"what?!"

Wang Yuanzhi motioned her to keep her voice down, and said, "The deceased was indeed a woman. She died about six days ago, and the bone age was estimated to be around 16 or [-] years old. However, the corpse was too corrupt to do other tests. The examination of the bones revealed that the deceased was not harmed by external force, at least not mechanically damaged, so there is no strong evidence to support your previous suspicion that the body was sunk by someone."

"What about poisoning?"

"It will take time, and I can't see it for the time being."

Lu Xizhi looked around, made sure it was safe, and whispered, "Yuanzhi, since you think the deceased's clothes came from the palace, then...this jade pendant is also...?"

Wang Yuanzhi stroked his chin and nodded slightly.

"Just now, I was wondering if the person who knew this piece of jade had something to hide, so he didn't dare to claim it; or, even the deceased's family didn't know, only the murderer and the deceased knew..." Lu Xizhi looked up fiercely. .

"As a token of love, let's make a bold guess. Could this girl belong to the rabbit? So, someone gave her this jade pendant."

Yuan Yanxi walked into the lobby and saw such a scene. Lu Xizhi and Wang Yuanzhi's heads were very close to each other. They looked furtive and afraid that others would see them, and they were whispering intimately. They frowned and suppressed the tension in their hearts. unhappy.

"cough…"

The two whispered to each other and bounced away quickly, Wang Yuanzhi walked out of the door inexplicably, just stepped out with one foot, then retracted it, thinking: I'm here to report the autopsy, so I won't go out.

Lu Xizhi was also so frightened that the jade pendant almost fell to the ground.

It's strange, the two of them didn't do anything shady, why is Yuan Yanxi so scary when he coughs.

"What did you find?"

The two made a statement on the speculation and autopsy results just now. Yuan Yanxi rubbed his eyebrows, looking very tired, took the medicine handed over by Dong Hai, and poured it down without looking at it.

Lu Xizhi smelled a strong smell of traditional Chinese medicine, Yuan Yanxi will also get sick?
"If this is a murder case, the murderer probably didn't expect that the body would be discovered so early. He must have taken precautions now. It is really difficult to investigate, but if he doesn't come to identify the body, we can find the source of the jade pendant. It is so exquisitely polished. Carvings are not hard to find." He coughed a few more times, "Nanyang, take the blueprints and go to all the jewelry stores in the capital immediately to check."

Nanyang took the order to leave, Donghai felt that his boss seemed to be in a bad state, so he stepped forward to care: "Factory Supervisor, Doctor Miao wants you to rest more."

Yuan Yanxi waved his hand impatiently, "Tomorrow, the governor will escort King Jing to the feudal Jingzhou, and it will take ten days to go back and forth. Since this case may be involved with the aristocratic family, you can put it aside for the time being and make a decision when I come back." Don't worry , staring at Lu Xizhi: "If Miss Lu needs help, she can find Nanyang, Xifeng and Beixue. Remember not to act without authorization."

"The factory superintendent has been away for so long?" Lu Xizhi was a little uncomfortable.

What is not suitable?She didn't think about it.

Raising the corner of her eyes, Yuan Yanxi looked at her with a hint of ridicule on her usual stern face: "Reluctance?"

Ok? !

Ouch, why is he suddenly... so coquettish.

Turning his head to look at the others, Wang Yuanzhi drooped his head, serious; Donghai also held the medicine bowl motionless as if he didn't hear it, why didn't he act like he didn't hear it?
"Young lady, don't mind the joking words." Yuan Yanxi stood up and took the jade pendant from her hand.

When hands intertwined, Lu Xizhi felt a string in his heart slightly 'twist' for no reason.

Wang Yuanzhi suddenly remembered something: "Director Yuan, the yamen hasn't received any missing persons reports in the past few days."

Yuan Yanxi played with the jade pendant in his hand, and said with a sneer, "Oh, it's fine if the man is missing, and nothing will happen if he finds it. If it's a woman, then it's not as simple as finding it back, so no one will." Come report to the officer."

"Why?" Lu Xizhi didn't turn the corner.

"Miss Lu doesn't think so?"

Wang Yuanzhi coughed at the right time, reminding Lu Xizhi.

"Hey, yes, no one will come to report to the officials, because they are afraid that it will get a bad reputation." Lu Xizhi suddenly realized.

Yuan Yanxi glanced at Wang Yuanzhi meaningfully, with probing and annoyed eyes.

"Could it be that Yuanzhi is also suffering from a cold? Why don't you ask Miracle Doctor Miao to prescribe side medicine for you, so you can recover quickly."

Wang Yuanzhi didn't make a sound, but took two steps back: "Since the factory supervisor has made arrangements, I'm going back to do a drug test."

At this time, Yuan Yanxi took out a token different from 'Jiji', handed it to Lu Xizhi, and said, "This is my waist token. Seeing the token is like seeing someone."

Lu Xizhi took it in a daze, and asked in puzzlement, "What's the reason for the factory supervisor?"

Unexpectedly, the other party flung his sleeves and left: "Lu Xizhi, see you in ten days."

She stared at the waist plate engraved with the word 'Yuan', feeling a little uneasy.

"Okay, take a rest for a while, you should have a headache again." The woman looked at her daughter who had been playing the piano since the morning with distress.

The girl who was playing the piano in the courtyard acted as if she hadn't heard it. Her forehead was already covered with fine beads of sweat, which connected into drops and landed on the piano plate. Her ten fingers were also red and swollen from playing for too long. But she still showed no signs of stopping, and the sound of the piano became more impatient and impatient.

With the sound of 'collapse', the sound of the qin stopped abruptly, the woman panted heavily, and in a fit of anger, she plucked the strings of the qin violently, and finally pushed the qin down forcefully, the maids and women in the courtyard were too frightened to move.

"King Xuan and King Rui have both appointed the princess! It's fine if it's not me! The new King Jing will also go that day, and I've prepared for so long!!! It's all due to that Lu Xizhi, it's all her! It ruined my good deed !" The girl's eyes burst out with strong hatred, and a fierceness that didn't match her age.

"On the day of Princess Changle's blessing banquet, I will make her pay the price."

 I thought it was just a cold, but the nucleic acid test was abnormal. No wonder I felt weak for the first time, with a severe sore throat and no sense of smell...

  Dear jasmines, you should take good care of your health and wear a mask when you go out.

  Dong Mie will not stop updating, but it may be less, forgive me.

  After recovering from the illness, tens of thousands of updates will be sent.

  The medicine is working, good night
