The wife of the power minister's family

The place where the footprints are located is easy to identify, because not far from Jiang Yanxia's body, Xijing government officials stood in two rows facing each other, obviously protecting some traces in the middle. There was also a painter sitting next to him. He raised his head and observed the ground carefully, drawing something seriously.

Xu Jing walked over. It snowed yesterday morning. It was not heavy, but there was still a layer of snow about two knuckles thick on the ground.

And because no one comes to this place, no one cleans the snow on the ground, which is basically what it looked like at the beginning.

On the large patch of snow next to it, there were already countless messy footprints. Only the road guarded by the government officials remained clean and smooth. You could clearly see a series of small footprints heading straight towards the pier. .

There was a carriage not far away, and the footprints started from that place, and went all the way to the pier, down the stairs, and finally disappeared by the slightly rippling river.

The size of the footprints indeed seemed to be about the same size as Jiang Yanxia's feet.

Xu Jing remembered that Jiang Yanxia had no shoes on her feet just now. She turned around to ask Yao Shaoyin, but was caught off guard and met a pair of slightly dark and deep fox eyes.

It was Jiang Yu, and he followed her quietly!

Xu Jing blinked in surprise, but the loss lasted only a moment. She quickly shifted her gaze and found Yao Shaoyin standing next to Jiang Yu, saying, "When Jiang Sanniang was rescued, she had no shoes on her feet. ?”

Yao Shaoyin nodded and said: "Jiang Sanniang was wearing a pair of pink and green embroidered cloud shoes last night. One of the shoes must have fallen into the river. We found the other one by the river."

As he said this, he winked at a yamen servant on the side. The yamen servant immediately came over holding a small and beautiful shoe and handed it to Xu Jing.

Xu Jing took the shoes, squatted down, and compared them carefully. The sizes were just right, and the patterns on the soles were also the same.

If Jiang Sanniang was murdered, regardless of how the murderer left these traces of Jiang Sanniang on the snow, it is impossible for the murderer himself not to leave traces. The snow is different from the hard ground. As long as there are things Passing above it will definitely leave traces.

Even if the murderer walked back and stepped on his own footprints, smoothing the snow as he walked, there would definitely be some unnatural marks left on the snow. After all, the naturally formed snow is not completely smooth. It is basically impossible to fake a natural, unspoiled snowfield.

Although now the site has been destroyed except for a small area where Jiang Sanniang's suspected footprints were left, the Xijing government officials are not vegetarians. After they arrived at the site, they must have carefully investigated Passed the scene.

Xu Jing suddenly thought of something and asked, "I remember that Fang Baotou in your government office is not very good at footprint analysis?"

Although it seems that this string of footprints was definitely left by Jiang Sanniang, or at least Jiang Sanniang’s shoes, they are not professional trace analysts after all. In the eyes of professionals, maybe More can be seen.

Yao Shaoyin suddenly looked helpless, "Fang Captou's hometown is not in Xijing. Previously, he had not been home for the New Year for several years in order to investigate the case. This year, he specifically asked for leave early and left for his hometown.

This ability to analyze footprints is a unique skill of the Fang family. No one else in our government office can do it. "

Who would have thought that such a big case would happen just after he left.

This is a bit troublesome.

Xu Jing stared at the footprints for a while, thought for a while, looked at the Jiang family not far away, and said, "I would like to ask, how is Jiang Sanniang's mood after the case of the Smiling Killer?"

The faces of everyone in the Jiang family suddenly became very ugly. Obviously, the fact that their wife had married such a notorious murderer was a big taboo in their family.

Jiang Yu on the side suddenly glanced at Xu Jing with unknown meaning and said quietly: "I'm right here, why don't Madam Xu ask me directly?"

Xu Jing's eyebrows twitched slightly, and she glanced at him from the corner of her eye, "I am asking this question to all the Jiang family members. If Jiang Erlang knows the answer, just tell him."

Jiang Yu was silent for a moment, sighed secretly, and said in a deep voice: "When I first came back from Jiang's house, my sister was really in a very low mood. I don't quite understand, how could such a man make her mood so depressed? "

"Second brother, you haven't married yet, so you don't understand!"

A young lady in the Jiang family, wearing a pretty goose-yellow cloak, with a round and fair face, and red eyes, suddenly said loudly: "That's it... no matter how unbearable that person is, he was also Third Sister's former husband! Third Sister Even though a lot of unpleasant things happened during the three years after marrying to the Marquis of Huaiyin, that bastard was really kind to the third sister. How could the third sister know that those three years of tender love and gentleness were just that bastard? Disguise! How can a woman bear to suddenly know all this? What’s more, what’s more…”

She suddenly hesitated, looking like she was about to speak.

Xu Jing stared at her closely and said, "Besides what?"

The little girl's face became more and more tangled and painful. A woman with elegant and graceful features suddenly stepped forward, gently pressed her shoulder, and sighed: "I am Yanxia's sister-in-law. Although... Yanxia is already I went, but the next thing involves Yan Xia’s privacy, I hope to talk to Mrs. Xu alone.”

The only person in the Jiang family who can be called Jiang Sanniang's sister-in-law is the eldest son of Xing Guogong, Jiang Dalang's wife, Zhou.

Xu Jing had vaguely guessed something in her heart. She glanced at Zhou with a complicated mood, nodded and said, "Okay."

Zhou took Xu Jing to the side and said with a sad face: "Our Yanxia is a hard-luck child. I heard Yanxia say before that Mrs. Xu saved her life and helped her expose the previous plot of the Huaiyin Marquis Mansion. Madam Hua's plot to kill her. In this case, Mrs. Xu should have a certain understanding of Yanxia's situation in the Huaiyin Marquis Mansion.

Yan Xia has been married for more than three years and has... no children. The people in the Huaiyin Marquis Mansion just dare not say it, but in fact they are very dissatisfied with Yan Xia. Yan Xia has always been very concerned about the fact that her stomach is not moving. Not a day goes by that I don’t wish I could have a baby as soon as possible.

But she didn’t expect that the child she longed for would come sooner or later, but just after...the murderer’s true identity was exposed, he came..."

Although she had already had a premonition, Xu Jing's heart suddenly sank and she said, "So that's it. Jiang Sanniang must be feeling very sad..."

"It's more than painful. Such a child of a murderous maniac must never be kept. However, it is the flesh and blood that Yan Xia has been waiting for for so long. What's more, at that time, Yan Xia still had feelings for that bastard in her heart. …During that time, Yan Xia was in great pain, and she even told us whether she had done too many sins in her previous life and suffered so much suffering in this life.”

Zhou couldn't help but get slightly wet at the corners of her eyes, took out her handkerchief and wiped her eyes and said, "At that time, we didn't dare to persuade her to abort the child, and we were even prepared for Yan Xia not to abort the child.

Anyway, it’s just a child, and our Jiang family can’t afford to raise it, but if this child has such a father, he will definitely be stabbed in the spine as soon as he is born. Yanxia will have such a child in the future, no matter whether she wants to remarry or not, her life will definitely be It's much more difficult than before, not to mention who knows whether he will inherit his father's evil temperament...

Later, Yan Xia finally figured it out and asked to have the child aborted..."
