The wife of the power minister's family

Chapter 190 He doesn’t want to lose face! (first update)
Xu Jing paused slightly and said, "I guess I'm not free. What's wrong?"

So many clues were discovered today, and new news about the case is expected to come tomorrow. Xu Jing thought it would be better for her not to wander around.

Zhou Wan suddenly looked disappointed, "Well, I just learned today that there is a beautiful lake outside Xijing. It is said that you can see swans there. The weather has been so good these days, neither cold nor hot. I also want to invite Jing Let’s go out and have some fun together, sister!”

Xu Jing couldn't help but raise the corner of her mouth and said: "Thank you for the invitation. Let's talk about it next time when you have time. Are you going out alone tomorrow?"

Zhou Wan shook her head and pointed to Zhou Xian who was diagonally behind her with a smile, "Fifth brother, come with me!"

Zhou Xian was still the same as before, with an unruly look on his face, without even looking at Xu Jing.

Xu Jing raised her eyebrows slightly and said, "It's good to have someone to accompany you. Pay attention to your safety."

After saying that, he continued to rush to the room.

Seeing Xu Jing walking away, Zhou Wan turned around. He couldn't help but slap his fifth brother on the shoulder, and said angrily: "Asshole fifth brother, a grown man is so stingy. Sister Jing just said something to you before. Everything you say is right, why are you always giving Sister Jing a look!"

If Xu Jing scolded Zhou Xian in the yard for not being as good as a four-year-old child, the steward here would have reported it to the Zhou family in Anping County without missing a word.

Zhou Xian felt that he was Zhou Wan's elder brother, and it was really shameless to be scolded by his sister like this. He couldn't help but jump to his feet and said, "Who gave that woman a hard time! It's obvious that that woman is not womanly at all, that is, she is neither gentle nor considerate!" What man would want to associate with a woman like that!"

Zhou Wan put his hands on his hips and said, "What does it have to do with you if Sister Jing is not gentle or considerate? You are not marrying Sister Jing, oh no, you are marrying into Sister Jing's house!"

Zhou Xian: "!!!"

Brother, that bastard actually told this little girl about getting married!He doesn’t want to lose face!

"What's more, in my opinion, Sister Jing is much better than other women. Apart from A Niang, I have never seen another woman as powerful as Sister Jing! Fifth Brother, you obviously also recognize Sister Jing's ability! Do you think I don’t know? Although you never give Sister Jing a good look, you often secretly observe Sister Jing’s actions. Recently, you have been secretly reading medical books. Several times, I have seen you hiding behind Sister Jing when she was training the doctors. Peeping at the wall! Manager Yuan cried with joy several times!"

Zhou Xian: "!!!"

"No! How can a little girl like you know so many things!"

Zhou Wan glanced at him and said: "Although you are my fifth brother, the age difference between us is less than a year, but we grew up playing together. Don't I understand you? You obviously think that Sister Jing is What I said when I scolded you was right, why don't you just say it honestly and ask Sister Jing to teach you?"

Zhou Xian's face suddenly turned red, and he suddenly turned his face to the side and muttered: "Doesn't this make me look shameless? I'm not bad either. As long as I work hard, who says I can't compare to that woman? One day, I want my brother to admit that I am better than that woman!"

Zhou Wan: "..."

She really didn't want to admit that this guy was her brother.

It's so childish.

Zhou Xian couldn't stand being so despised by his sister, and quickly changed the subject: "Is the man you met today reliable? He told you about Feiyue Lake for no reason, and said you could see swans there. Why? It seems like I came here specifically to seduce an ignorant little lady like you."

"Oh, fifth brother, don't worry. Thanks to that gentleman's reminder today, my wallet was not stolen by thieves. That gentleman is very polite. Looking at his clothes and conversation, you can tell that he is not an ordinary gentleman. Jun, is such a man so full that he came all the way to trick me into a little girl?"

Zhou Wan pouted and said, "Besides, aren't you going with me tomorrow? With you watching, what are you afraid of?"

Zhou Xian thought that it was indeed the case, and couldn't say anything for a moment. "Moreover," Zhou Wan couldn't help but get a little excited when she talked about the husband who helped her today, and said, "When the husband picked up the thief's purse that fell on the ground and handed it to me, he used his left hand. He’s left-handed, and this is the first time I’ve seen a left-hander in my life! It’s really new!”

Zhou Xian: "..."

This guy has the nerve to call him naive, but she herself is only half-assed!

The next day, as soon as Xu Jing got up and finished her breakfast, Xiao Yi sent someone over, saying that there had been significant progress in the case and he hoped to invite her to discuss it together.

Xu Jing was a little surprised that the news came so early, but considering that this case was named by the Holy Emperor, the people from the Criminal Department should have stayed up late last night to investigate the case.

She tidied up briefly and got on the carriage sent by Xiao Yi. Unexpectedly, the carriage went directly to the Ministry of Justice.

The people sent by Xiao Yi took Xu Jing directly to what looked like Xiao Yi's exclusive office room in the Ministry of Justice. Inside, in addition to Xiao Yi sitting behind the desk, there were two people who looked to be in their 30s or [-]s. man.

Seeing Xu Jing, the two men looked stunned, but Xiao Yi just said quietly: "Ms. Xu has a lot of experience in solving cases. She was specially invited by me to help solve the case.

Madam Xu, please sit down. These two are doctors from the Ministry of Justice. The one on the left is Doctor Si, and the one on the right is Doctor Chen. "

They were obviously Xiao Yi's direct subordinates. After hearing what Xiao Yi said, they didn't ask any more questions and immediately bowed respectfully to Xu Jing.

Xu Jing didn't show it on her face, but she admired Xiao Yi in her heart. He seemed to be like this every time, bringing her to his colleagues openly.

He is really not afraid of any gossip spreading, such as saying that he relies on women or something. After all, in this era, the world's prejudice against women is still very deep.

After Xiao Yi saw Xu Jing sitting down, he said: "Last night, the people I sent out stayed up late to go to the Hongshang Department and screened out all the caravan members who met the characteristics, and found that there were four suspects in total.

Each caravan departs and returns at different times.Among them, there are two caravans that leave for the northwest in January and February every year and return in July and August. Among these two caravans, there are ten people living in the town north of Xijing.

Based on the bodies found yesterday, it can be concluded that the murderer has left Xijing. Among the two caravans, only one has disbanded and left Xijing. Therefore, the scope of suspects has been narrowed to four people. "

The situation turned out to be so smooth.

Xu Jing immediately asked: "When did the caravan leave Xijing? Is it too late to catch up now?"

Xiao Yi said: "They were disbanded five days ago. The people in the caravan should have left one after another in the past few days, but we found out that one person from the caravan lived in Xijing. Early this morning, I sent Si Langzhong went to that person's house to inquire about the situation. Si Langzhong just came back and was about to explain the situation."

After finishing speaking, he looked at Si Langzhong and said, "Keep talking."

The doctor saluted and said: "Yes. The man's surname was Jiang, and he lived in the southeast of Xijing. He said that there were ten people in their caravan, and the four people who lived in Zhouzhen, north of Xijing, because they lived in We are close together and often go home together. They just left Xijing two days ago.

His subordinates asked him if he knew any of the four people who behaved strangely in Xijing, such as disappearing frequently or having some strange behavior when leaving Xijing. He immediately said that there was one named He Qiusheng. The husband's characteristics are very similar to those described by his subordinates. Whenever he comes to Xijing, he is always mysterious and mysterious. He doesn't often go drinking and having fun with them. He often goes alone without knowing where he is.

Every time when he left Xijing, he always had diarrhea suddenly, which made the people accompanying him have to stop and wait for him for a long time. Therefore, they all guessed that when He Qiusheng disappeared in Xijing, he went to eat delicious food alone, so he often Eat your stomach badly. "
