The wife of the power minister's family

Chapter 266 People who have nothing are the craziest (second update)

Died of illness? !

Xu Jing's eyes opened slightly, and a certain idea suddenly came to her mind, which made her unable to help but said coldly: "Does Manager Yang know about the death of Mrs. Wen from illness?!"

Mrs. Wen bit her lip and said, "I haven't told him yet. I just wanted to find a good time to talk to him about it again..."

"If Mrs. Wen has been dead for two months, and if you summon Manager Yang every month to ask him to see Mrs. Wen, who did Manager Yang meet last month?!"

Mrs. Wen didn't understand why this woman kept asking questions about this matter, and said impatiently: "Last month I just made an excuse and didn't let him see Mrs. Wen."

Xu Jing couldn't help but twitch her lips and said: "You used to let Manager Yang see Mrs. Wen every month, but suddenly you don't let him see her. Do you think Manager Yang won't be suspicious? Mrs. Wen, you are too confident in yourself. Got it!"

Wen was slightly stunned.

Jiang Zhaoyin looked at Xu Jing and said, "You mean, the kidnapper could be this Yang Quanfu? He knew about Lady Wen's death from illness and believed that Lady Wen's death was related to the Xu family, so he borrowed Xu Sanniang's plan to take revenge. ?”

If he puts it this way, he will not only take revenge on Xu Sanniang, but also on the entire Xu family!

"Yes, if the kidnapper is Yang Quanfu, many doubts in this case will be explained. Moreover, Yang Quanfu has helped the Xu family for so many years, and he still has a rough idea of ​​how much money the Xu family can give in total, so he can propose A ransom figure that was enough to bankrupt the Xu family.

It is very simple to further confirm whether the kidnapper is Yang Quanfu. "

It is much simpler to extrapolate from the results than to speculate from scratch.

Xu Jing said: "There are four bloody footprints left in front of the door of the cabin. There must be the kidnapper's footprints inside. Send someone to take Yang Quanfu's shoes and compare them with those footprints. Then you can know the possibility that the kidnapper is Yang Quanfu. How old is it?”

In ancient times, it was always inconvenient to have a camera.

Fang Captou originally wanted to ask a painter to draw the bloody footprints, but where could he find a painter at night? Moreover, it is difficult to complete the delicate task of copying footprints just by relying on the faint light of the torch. It is better to wait until dawn to do this work.

Xu Jing originally planned to have the suspect's shoes sent over for comparison, but Qiulin Mountain was not close. Xu Jing originally planned to wait for the Wang family to determine the scope of the suspect, and then take the shoes for comparison at once. .

Duke Qiao said in a deep voice: "Didn't you say that the kidnapper might have an accomplice? What if the footprints belong to his accomplice..."

Xu Jing shook her head and said, "If it were Yang Quanfu, he would most likely do such an important job as kidnapping someone himself."

The original owner had been with Yang Quanfu for so many years, so he understood his temperament to some extent.

Yang Quanfu has always been careful and cautious in doing things, otherwise Xu Sihai would not have chosen him to take care of the original owner.

"And, again, if the two guards and someone unknown to Tan Yun were the ones who kidnapped someone, there would be no need for that person to kidnap the three of them together."

Jiang Shaobai immediately called people to Xu's house and brought over Yang Quanfu's shoes, and at the same time brought over the shoes of other suspects.

In this regard, he was as efficient as Xu Jing. He thought that he had to make a trip to compare the footprints, so it was better to compare all the suspects at once.

It would take at least more than an hour to go back and forth to Qiulin Mountain from here, not including the comparison time.

The waiting time was destined to be the most painful. After the officials took the order and set off, Duke Qiao walked up and down the front hall, angrily urging the people below to collect the ransom as soon as possible.

After all, what Bishui said before was right. Even if they knew who the kidnapper was, they couldn't change the fact that the hostages were in their hands.

Knowing the identity of the kidnapper only allows them to better deduce the logic of the kidnapper's actions. The best result is to find his hiding place.

The most critical and difficult point in a kidnapping case is how to find out where the kidnapper holds the hostages, which is usually his hiding place.

Only when they find the location of the hostages can they carry out the rescue.

Therefore, they still have to do what the kidnappers want before they can figure out how to rescue the hostages.

Xu Jing suddenly looked at Yao Shaoyin and said, "Did the kidnapper's blackmail letter say when the ransom would be paid?"

Yao Shaoyin immediately nodded and said: "As I said, the letter requested that the ransom be traded in a forest near Qiulin Mountain today at Xu Shi (seven o'clock in the evening)."

Xu Jing pondered and said: "When the kidnapper came to collect the ransom, the two children should have been left in his hiding place." Yao Shaoyin said solemnly: "Yes, so when the ransom is traded tomorrow, it will be an opportunity , if we don’t take this opportunity to find his hiding place, it will be difficult to find him again.”

It wasn't until around eight o'clock in the morning that the government officer sent to Qiulin Mountain finally came back. As soon as he came back, he said excitedly: "Jiang Zhaoyin, among the four footprints in front of the cabin, there is one footprint that is exactly the same size as Yang Quanfu's shoe! Moreover, the pattern on the soles is also the same!”

So, that footprint is indeed that of Yang Quanfu!

It may be a coincidence that the shoes are the same size, but if the sole patterns are the same, the probability suddenly increases!

Jiang Shaobai immediately said in a deep voice: "Come here, go immediately to investigate what Yang Quanfu has done during this period, where he has been, and whether there is anything suspicious!"

There was a breakthrough in the case, and everyone was very excited. After receiving the order, they quickly went to work.

Wen and Xu Guangyi did not expect that the kidnapper was actually Yang Quanfu. They looked in disbelief. After realizing what this meant, their backs suddenly became wet.

In this way, Wang Baojun was kidnapped because of the Xu family's involvement.

Sensing the murderous looks directed at them by the Wang family around them, they immediately did not dare to say anything and huddled in the corner with pale faces.

After all, they still count on the Wang family to help them raise another ten thousand taels!

At this time, Xu Jing suddenly said: "Since just now, I have been thinking, since Yang Quanfu probably kidnapped the two children for revenge, what will he do next?"

Yao Shaoyin immediately said: "Do you need to say more? I killed the child to vent my anger! Then I hid the money and looked at the Xu family in great pain!"

Xu Jing remained silent.

Jiang Shaobai glanced at her and said, "What do you think, Madam Xu?"

"I'm thinking that the reason why Yang Quanfu took revenge is that he thought it was the Xu family who killed Lady Wen."

Xu Jing said slowly: "Yang Quanfu is an orphan. When he was a child, he wandered on the street until he was twelve years old. He was accidentally seen by my uncle, and then he entered the Xu family."

For Yang Quanfu, Xu Sihai can be said to have the gift of reinvention.

Therefore, when he betrayed the Xu family, the Xu family was so unbelievable and angry.

"For Lady Wen, he even betrayed the Xu family. Now that Lady Wen is gone, he has nothing again..."

Yao Shaoyin was stunned and heard Xu Jing say in a deep voice: "People who have nothing are the craziest. I always feel that things will not be that simple."

Jiang Shaobai couldn't help but look at Yao Shaoyin. Seeing the tiredness in Xu Jing's eyebrows, Jiang Shaobai said: "Mrs. Xu, please stop thinking so much. When the people who went to investigate Yang Quanfu come back, maybe there will be new ones." Clues, it’s still early before the ransom is paid, Madam Xu can go to the carriage to have a rest first.”

Because new information will come back at any time, Xu Jing cannot go home.

She was indeed tired, so she nodded and said, "Okay, thank you Jiang Zhaoyin for your concern."

After saying that, he slowly walked to the carriage, feeling a little dazed as he walked.

Last night, it was Xiao Yi who sent her to the carriage. He was still outside, guarding her for almost two hours.

However, now, Xiao Yi has gone back a long time ago and is preparing to go to the Ministry of Punishment for duty.

He didn't sleep all night last night, is he going to be okay?

Realizing that her thoughts were drifting further and further, Xu Jing quickly shook her head and got into the carriage.

After this break, they rested directly until Shen Shizheng (four o'clock in the afternoon). Xu Jing went out to exchange news with the government officials during lunch. Knowing that there was no useful information, she went back to sleep.

In the end, it was Yao Shaoyin who woke her up. After Xu Jing got off the carriage, he immediately said: "The people we sent to investigate Yang Quanfu brought some new information. They are preparing to report to Jiang Zhaoyin. Please come with me, Madam Xu." Come."
