The wife of the power minister's family

Chapter 230 It’s just a small scene (first update)
Xu Jing and Zhao Shaohua spent most of the day and finally read all the scrolls.

While sorting out the scattered scrolls, Xu Jing said: "I was thinking earlier that although the murderer had sneaked into Guixiang Courtyard to kill people beforehand, he would have gone to Guixiang Courtyard earlier than He Anming, so he must have gone earlier. There were not many customers in Guixiangyuan at that time, so if he behaved strangely, the waiters in the store might be impressed.

But he didn’t expect that He Anming only went to Guixiang Courtyard at the end of the Youshi period (around [-] p.m.). Before that, there were already many guests in Guixiang Courtyard, and in addition to the main staircase in the hall, there were also stairs on the left and right sides of Guixiang Courtyard. It can lead to the third floor. It is not difficult for the criminal to sneak into the room without anyone noticing. "

The people from Dali Temple asked almost all the clerks on duty at Guixiangyuan that day, but no one had any impression of the suspected murderer.

It seems that there is no value in continuing the investigation at Guixiangyuan.

Zhao Shaohua said: "No wonder Dali Temple has been unable to solve the case. I see that they have done a lot of things, but I feel that they have never found the right way. However, I see that in all the scrolls in Dali Temple, there is no such thing as Hanshisan." Three words.”

Xu Jing said: "In fact, in this case, there has been a place where Hanshi Powder has appeared, that is, in the seam of the bed in the room where He Anming was rented by Guixiang Yuan. I am not sure that this Hanshi Powder is related to the case, but if it is really related, It might not be the entry point into this case.”

After saying that, she stood up and said, "Let's go, we're going to the next place."

Zhao Shaohua couldn't help but get excited, "Where are you going next?"

This was the first time she had been so deeply involved in a case, and no matter what she did, it felt fresh.

"If you want to know whether Hanshi Powder is related to this case, you have to ask the servants around He Anming."

The He family can be regarded as a prestigious family in Dachu, but in the past few years, no capable descendants have emerged, and it has gradually declined.

With Xiao Quanzi leading the way, regardless of what those people thought about Xu Jing coming to investigate the case, at least they were all respectful on the surface. When they heard that Xu Jing was going to ask about He Anming's personal servant, they immediately arranged a room for Xu Jing. Jing and his group were waiting inside.

After a while, a stern-faced grandma walked in, followed by a fair-looking young man of fifteen or sixteen years old. She saluted Xu Jing and the others and said, "I am the lady's friend, Xu Jing." The lady and Mrs. Zhao called the old slave Aunt Cui. Because of Julang Jun's matter, the lady... has not yet recovered from the sadness and cannot come to receive Mrs. Xu and Mrs. Zhao in person. I hope that Mrs. Xu and Mrs. Mrs. Zhao, don’t mind.

This is Hua Jiu who has been following Juro Jun. The old slave has told Hua Jiu to fully cooperate with Madam Xu in investigating the case and strive to find the murderer of Juro Jun as soon as possible. "

Zhao Shaohua curled his lips secretly.

It’s understandable that their wife is too sad to come out to entertain guests, but with so many people in the He family, it doesn’t make sense that they don’t even have a master who can receive guests, right?
Worst of all, the manager should be asked to come over in person.

What's more, A Jing came here to find the murderer of He Anming. A normal family member would definitely want to immediately find the murderer and cut his body into pieces. How could he not even have time to meet the investigators?When Manager Liao was killed earlier, they followed the investigation throughout the whole process, wishing they could also develop a brain that could investigate cases.

It was just that she was looking at Ah Jing and looked down upon her in her heart, so she was so negligent. She was sure that when the people from Dali Temple came, they did not have this attitude.

Although Xu Jing did not understand the rules of aristocratic families as well as Zhao Shaohua, she could clearly feel the lukewarmness of the other party's attitude, and said softly: "Excuse me, I want to ask Hua Jiu questions next, and I would like to ask Aunt Cui to leave first. .”

A gleam flashed in Aunt Cui's eyes, "Madam asked the old slave to follow Madam Xu throughout the whole process to assist Madam Xu in handling the case."

This was related to the murderer of their Juro-kun, and she couldn't let this woman mess around.

The Holy One was so confused that he allowed a woman to be involved in this case. They couldn't be so confused. If the murderer got away because of this woman's troubles, or if the wrong murderer was caught, their poor Juro-kun would not be able to do anything even under Jiuquan. peaceful!

"Assist me in handling the case?" Xu Jing twitched her lips, looked at her with cold eyes, and said unceremoniously: "If you leave now, you are assisting me in handling the case!"

Aunt Cui was startled and her face tightened, "Mrs. Xu..."

"If you don't want to leave, you are obstructing official business!"

Xu Jing was too lazy to argue with her, and suddenly said with a serious face: "Or, is your wife's real request to hinder my handling of the case?"

This...you can't say this nonsense!
Grandma Cui's face suddenly turned pale, and she quickly bowed deeply and said: "Ms. Xu's words are meant to kill me, old slave... I just want to have one more person here, Miz. Xu." You can help me when necessary. Since Madam Xu said so, I...I will leave first."

After saying that, he ran away in a hurry.

Zhao Shaohua, who originally wanted to take action, couldn't help but raise his eyebrows and sat down peacefully.

Thinking about it, how could Ah Jing not be able to handle such a small scene?

After the little episode just now, the boy named Hua Jiu also became obviously nervous. After Granny Cui left, he obediently followed Xu Jing's instructions and walked up to her.

Xu Jing asked Xiao Quanzi to help record their conversation. She looked at Hua Jiu calmly and said, "When did you start following your husband?"

"Little...little man has been with Mr. Lang since he was a child."

"Besides you, your husband has other servants who have been following him?"

"Yes, but since Lang Jun entered the Imperial Academy, our Lord Lang has been dedicated to letting Lang Jun cultivate his moral character and does not allow Lang Jun to bring too many servants in, so only the villain has been following Lang Jun."

Xu Jing nodded and asked him a few more irrelevant questions. Seeing Hua Jiu's face gradually relax, her eyes suddenly flashed slightly and she said coldly: "So, what your husband does on weekdays, you should You know everything, right? Including the fact that he has been taking Hanshi Powder!"

Hua Jiu's nerves, which had only been relaxed for a few breaths, suddenly became tense again, even more intense than before. He looked at Xu Jing in shock and subconsciously said: "You... what are you talking about? I don't... …I don’t know what cold food powder is!”

Seeing him like this, Xu Jing was sure that the cold food powder on the bed was indeed left by He Anming!
Xu Jing smiled coldly and said: "It's useless for you to deny it. I have already found evidence that your husband was secretly taking Hanshi Powder. Several other deceased persons, as well as Jiang Zhengdao, who was very close to your husband before, Let’s take them together too!”

"Little...little man..."

Facing Xu Jing's aggressiveness, Hua Jiu was already at a loss.

Seeing that he still wanted to resist, Xu Jing said coldly: "Looking at you, could it be that you have also taken it? Because you are afraid of speaking out and exposing the matter, you dare not admit it?"

"No villain!"

As Xu Jing expected, Hua Jiu was furious. He quickly knelt down on the ground and said, "I don't read as many books as your husband, and I know that taking that stuff is illegal! Every time I go home My parents have to warn me not to follow Lang Jun's mischief! I...I also persuaded Lang Jun before not to touch that thing again..."
