Cure the cold-faced general by solving crimes

Chapter 55 Sir

As the sun set in the west, Jiang Xihe felt as if he had walked out of the morgue.

When she entered here in the afternoon, she was still a little girl who was ignorant of autopsies. After studying all afternoon, she had already understood the structure of the human body under Sun Chang's guidance, knew the cause of death of the deceased, and why Sun Chang came to such a conclusion.

From the initial fear to shock, to now, she felt a faint sense of pride.

When Jiang Xihe first read the words "Words for the Dead", she was overwhelmed by the surface. Now she deeply understands the power of words. Just looking at the state of the body when it was fished out, most people would subjectively think that the deceased fell into the water and died.

But after half a day of study, Jiang Xihe knew that although the deceased was fished out of the river, he was killed before falling into the water. This and falling into the water are two completely different investigation directions.

In addition to the shock in his heart, Jiang Xihe also had a heavy sense of responsibility.

Looking up at the sky, stars looming in the clouds, Jiang Xihe became more determined to commit suicide, restore the innocence of the deceased, and seek justice in the world.

Walking out of the west courtyard, Jiang Xihe saw Pei Zhizhao standing on the corridor. He stood with his head bowed as he looked into the distance, his robes were blown by the wind, his figure was tall and straight, and he had a proud and heroic posture.

Jiang Xihe felt warm in his heart and called softly, "Master Pei?"

Hearing the sound, Pei Zhizhao pulled back from his thoughts and smiled, "Why so late?"

Jiang Xihe noticed that Pei Zhizhao was smiling more and more, and felt happy. He couldn't help but ask, "Master Pei, have you been waiting for me?"

This sentence was very much like a greeting between lovers, and Jiang Xihe's face heated up.

"Yes!" Pei Zhizhao followed the good advice.

The joy at the corner of Jiang Xihe's mouth couldn't be hidden even more.

Pei Zhizhao looked at her briefly and asked, "It seems that you feel pretty good these days?"

Jiang Xihe realized something, suddenly took half a step back, and asked nervously, "Can you smell the odor on me, sir?"

Pei Zhizhao had long smelled the vague and sour smell of pepper on her body, but he shook his head, "No, work is a respectable profession. I think you must have confidence these days, what? Are you afraid of the smell? Want to give up?"

Jiang Xihe was inspired and strengthened his confidence, "No, I have a lot to say to the adults."

Pei Zhizhao smiled, and a smile appeared on his usually cold face, which made him feel more friendly. "Okay, let's go and have dinner. You have been tired for a long day, and I want to reward you well."

Jiang Xihe was a little embarrassed, "Master Pei, where are we going?" In fact, what she wanted to do now was to find a place to wash up first. Jiang Xihe would be embarrassed to meet Master Mu and Madam like this.

Pei Zhizhao said lightly, "We will stay here for a few more days. We will go back after Lin Qiaoniang's case is over. I have booked an inn and we will stay there in the next few days."

Jiang Xihe was so satisfied with this arrangement that she was even more surprised to hear a name, "Lin Qiaoniang?"

Pei Zhizhao nodded, "The person you looked at the body for half a day is named Lin Qiaoniang, and she is the deceased in our case."

Jiang Xihe felt an indescribable feeling in his heart.

Lin Qiaoniang died of suffocation, was murdered, and was later thrown into the Qingshui River.

She is now half a widower and has determined the cause of Lin Qiaoniang's death. She had no deep experience in solving crimes before, but now, her heart is full of pride, and it seems to be bursting at the seams.

"Master Pei, we must catch the murderer, avenge Lin Qiaoniang, and let the truth come out."

Pei Zhizhao nodded slowly with a faint look in his eyes. The inn is next to the Tongshan County Government Office. Pei Zhizhao booked two adjacent rooms on the second floor. As soon as Jiang Xihe entered the room, he couldn't wait for the hot water.

When the waiter was delivering water, he looked Jiang Xihe up and down, picked up his nose inadvertently, and joked, "Where did the girl go? No wonder the man you were traveling with told us to prepare hot water early. It should take half an hour for us to start boiling water."

Jiang Xihe was stunned and understood Pei Zhizhao's intention.

Her heart was warm, but her mouth was unwilling to be ridiculed and discriminated against by the world. She deliberately moved closer to the man and lowered her voice and said, "I spent half a day with the dead."

The boy screamed in fright.

Jiang Xihe raised his eyes and bent his mouth, deliberately pretending to be a ghost and asking for his life, "Why don't you hurry up and get more hot water?"

The waiter didn't dare to say anything anymore. On the way out, he was bumped by a chair leg, which made his feet hurt. He grinned and ran downstairs.

When he came to deliver water again, a younger waiter had been replaced. Jiang Xihe laughed so hard that his branches trembled with laughter.

Jiang Xihe had packed up. Half an hour had passed. She walked to the next door and was about to knock on the door. She saw that the door was not closed tightly, leaving a large gap. Jiang Xihe looked in through the gap. There were a lot of food on the table. The fence was covered, and Pei Zhizhao was sitting by the window, reading a book.

Jiang Xihe called softly at the door, "Master Pei?"

Pei Zhizhao raised his head, put down the book, stood up and walked towards the door, "The door is left for you, come in."

Jiang Xihe pushed the door open and walked in. The two of them walked in unison and met each other at the dining table. Pei Zhizhao said, "The food is ready. I wonder when you can wash it. I ordered Tongshanfu's special pot. Let's try it." taste."

Jiang Xihe knew that Pei Zhizhao was not particular about food. Looking at the dazzling array of dishes on the table, Jiang Xihe felt warm in his heart. Pei Zhizhao prepared these all for her.

"Thank you, sir." Jiang Xihe was happy and his voice was much lighter.

"You have to thank yourself too, don't you think?"

Jiang Xihe always felt that Pei Zhizhao was cold, but every word he said spoke to her heart, so why was it still difficult to get along with him?

Jiang Xihe now feels that Pei Zhizhao is the warmest person in the world.

Pei Zhizhao opened the lid, and the casserole with charcoal fire was simmering hot, and it was about to boil. Pei Zhizhao said softly, "The time is just right, come on, put the vegetables and meat into the pot according to your preference, and start eating." "

Jiang Xihe ate this new thing for the first time and found it very novel. There were some dry ingredients ground into powder in front of her. Pei Zhizhao introduced, "The shop owner said this is a dipping sauce. The cooked dishes are eaten with the sauce. You can Taste it.”

Jiang Xihe picked up a thin piece of red meat and smelled it. There was no fishy smell, only a meaty aroma, and he put it into the pot without ceremony.

When the meat was half cooked, Jiang Xihe picked it up, dipped it in some dry ingredients and put it in his mouth, nodding in surprise.

She had taken a shower and twisted her hair. Her semi-dry long hair was only slightly tied back with a hair tie. From Pei Zhizhao's perspective, the eyes of the little girl under the candle were shining, and her clear and clean skin was glowing with light. Fengze, delicate and quiet, quietly tasting delicious food, immersed in a joyful mood.

The flower in Pei Zhizhao's heart has bloomed, blooming more vigorously. In the past, the breeze blew over the hills, but now the flowers are blooming and growing hard.

Jiang Xihe found Pei Zhizhao staring at him a little dazed, and the sweetness and shyness in his heart swelled at the same time, so he called him softly, "Master Pei..."

Pei Zhizhao recovered his thoughts and asked with a smile, "Tell me, how was your gain today?"
