Chapter 44

Su Xiaopei met the mother-in-law first.The mother-in-law looked stern, and first told Su Xiaopei how bad her daughter-in-law was during the cup of tea. She didn't start talking about today's events until Su Xiaopei felt that she had said enough and guided her to talk elsewhere.

In fact, it was an ordinary day. Because the sun was good, the mother-in-law asked her daughter-in-law to take out the winter quilt and clothes in her house to dry in the sun, washed the quilt and clothes, and asked her to clean the decorations.The daughter-in-law followed suit.But in the afternoon, when the old lady took a nap and woke up to check whether she had done her work carefully, she found that her favorite jade pendant was gone.

She asked her daughter-in-law on the spot, but the daughter-in-law just said she didn't know, and pretended to search her mother-in-law's house, but she couldn't find it.But the mother-in-law naturally didn't believe that she didn't take it, so she searched the house and body of the daughter-in-law herself, but found nothing.In the end, the two of them quarreled in the Yamen.

The old lady scolded every time she said something, and cursed every time she said something, Su Xiaopei listened patiently.

After chatting with the old lady, Su Xiaopei met her daughter-in-law again.The young daughter-in-law is already the mother of a child. The child is ten years old. Today he went to school, and only went home at noon for dinner, took a nap, and then went back again.After the child went out, the old lady also woke up. She walked around the yard and played with some flowers and plants. When she came back, she checked whether the clothes washed by the daughter-in-law were clean, whether the returned ones were neatly folded, and whether they were sorted and put into the cabinet according to the rules. Then she checked whether she had cleaned all the combs and jewelry, and found that a jade pendant was missing.

"Did you wipe the jade pendant today?"

The daughter-in-law wiped her tears and nodded: "I wiped it, because it is my mother's favorite pendant, I wiped it very carefully, I remember this clearly."

"Where did you put it after wiping it?"

"It was put back into the box along with other jewelry, and I never took it."

"Did the child play with it when he was naughty?"

The daughter-in-law shook her head violently: "When I cleaned the jewelry, the child was studying in school. Besides, the mother was always strict in teaching, and the child dared not take it."

"Are you sure you put the jade pendant back into the box?"

The daughter-in-law paused, and cried: "I do remember that I put it in the box, but my mother asked me several times, and I thought about it, but I couldn't remember the scene of putting it back. I wiped the jewelry together." Yes, everything else is there, I must have put it all in. But today my son came back at noon and said that he was punished by his master and he didn’t want to go to school anymore. I kept thinking about this all afternoon, and I was a little dazed. I was afraid that he would play elsewhere. My mother asked me to collect the sheets in the yard when I was polishing the jewelry. I quickly put all the jewelry in the box, went out to collect the sheets and came back. No one else came into the house during this time. But the pendant was indeed gone. .”

"So you're not sure you put it in the box?"

"I..." The daughter-in-law bit her lips and wept, and finally knelt down with a plop, crying, "My lord, please be clear, I am not a thief. My mother-in-law has never liked me, but I have always done my duty, earnestly." Filial to her old man. I don't want to make peace, not to mention that I have a deep relationship with officials and officials, even this crime I can't afford. If I am convicted of stealing and divorced back to my mother's house, how will I behave in the future?"

Su Xiaopei was startled, and quickly helped her up.She could imagine how tragic it would be if this woman was really wronged, her husband and children were taken away from her, and her reputation was ruined.She thought for a while and looked out the window.In the yard outside the window, the man surnamed Zeng looked in the direction of the house, waiting anxiously, while his mother stood beside him, still muttering something angrily.Su Xiaopei turned his gaze, but saw Ran Feize.

She was overjoyed, Ran Feize met her gaze, and nodded at her.

Su Xiaopei told the daughter-in-law to wait, then pushed the door and went out.

"Why is the strong man here?" As soon as she went out, Ran Feize came over, and she asked hastily.

"I heard that the girl has taken on a case, so I'll come and take a look."

Su Xiaopei smiled and nodded: "It's a small case."

Ran Feize also laughed when he heard the words: "It seems that the girl has a plan in her chest."

"There is a way to argue their words. Does the strong man have any advice?"

Ran Feize frowned when he heard the words, he understood what Su Xiaopei meant, her method must be a little weird again.

"Girl, don't make up your own mind, don't make troubles, just be careful with your words and deeds."

Su Xiaopei nodded.

Ran Feize was worried, and asked, "Does the girl understand?"

"Understood." Su Xiaopei was amused by his expression, and replied: "The one who can be informal has a sword in his hand."

"What the girl said is very true."

The two looked at each other and felt like laughing again.

Su Xiaopei lowered his head and said: "Then I will report to Lord Fu Yin first."

Ran Feize nodded, but did not move.Evidently he did not intend to accompany her.

Su Xiaopei walked a few steps, looked back, saw that he was also turning to look at her, Su Xiaopei's heart warmed up, and he quickened his pace and left.She felt as if she was going to the exam room alone, and Ran Feize stood there watching, like a parent sending the exam.Su Xiaopei walked hurriedly, and saw Qin Dezheng again in front of the governor's house.

"Miss Su." Qin Dezheng called: "I heard that the lord has entrusted the girl with a case."

"It's a small case." Su Xiaopei said.

Qin Dezheng listened, smiled slightly, took his leave and left.

Was he worried about her too?

Su Xiaopei collected himself and suddenly realized that this is really an exam.

But she is not worried, this is really a small case, she can do it, it is a small matter.

Su Xiaopei went to see Fu Yin.When Fu Yin saw her, he asked, "What's the matter?"

"My lord, what the daughter-in-law said is indeed a little uncertain about where things are put."

"This official already knew about it."

"I have a way to help her remember where she put things, or, if she is stealing, teach her to tell where she put them."

"Really?" Fu Yin frowned.

"Really, don't beat, scold, or scare. I just talk to her. Only my method requires a quiet environment, and no one can disturb me. I hope adults know about this."

Fu Yin thought for a while, nodded, called a yamen servant to come in, and explained a few words.The yamen servant was ordered to go with Su Xiaopei.

Su Xiaopei went back to the room where the daughter-in-law was interrogated. The daughter-in-law was still there, but she was holding hands with her family officials and talking tearfully through the window.Su Xiaopei came over, nodded to the yamen servant, the yamen servant took two people, invited other idlers away, and led them outside the courtyard.Ran Feize didn't stay behind either, and followed him out of the yard.

The daughter-in-law panicked and looked at Su Xiaopei.

Su Xiaopei smiled at her: "Ma'am, don't panic, because Madam didn't remember exactly where she put the pendant. I will tell my lord to let Madam think about it quietly, and Madam's grievances will definitely be cleared up."

The daughter-in-law showed surprise on her face: "I didn't lie, I did think about it carefully, I remember that they were put together in that wooden box."

"Ma'am, don't worry." Su Xiaopei greeted her: "Sit down."

The daughter-in-law sat down.

"Madam trust me, I will be able to find that pendant for Madam." Su Xiaopei's voice was soft but firm.The daughter-in-law nodded involuntarily.

"Ma'am, listen to me carefully and think according to what I say, okay?"

"Okay." The daughter-in-law nodded again.

"The weather is very good today, the sun is warm, Madam dried the clothes and sheets."

"Yes."

"Madam, please close your eyes."

The daughter-in-law closed it.

"Recall that standing under the sun today, isn't it warm?"

"Yes."

"That's good. Ma'am, I'm standing under the sun at this moment, just like today, warm. Madam, do you feel comfortable?"

"Yes, the sun is fine."

"Ma'am just stood there and did as I said. Now, slowly inhale, exhale, inhale, exhale...the sun is still there, very warm, very comfortable...."

Su Xiaopei guided slowly to let the daughter-in-law relax completely, which took her some time.She confirmed that the daughter-in-law completely relaxed her consciousness and followed her instructions, and then she said: "Now, madam is standing in front of the clothes, and the clothes are all dried, madam. You can see clearly, right in front of your eyes."

The daughter-in-law followed the voice and saw the picture: "Yes. I saw it. It's all finished hanging. The clothes are in front of the sheets."

"Now, tell me how many clothes are there to hang?"

"Ah..." The daughter-in-law was surprised.

"You can see it, right in front of you."

The daughter-in-law nodded, she could see it very clearly, she said the number, from left to right, adults and children.

"Okay, Madam has gone back to the room now, Madam needs to tidy up the jewelry." Su Xiaopei spoke very slowly, with a very peaceful and steady voice, "How did Madam tidy up?"

"I carried the thick quilt inside, and spread it out on my mother's bed to dissipate heat, and folded it later. Then I sat on the chair by the bed, opened the wooden box on the low cabinet by the bed, and wiped it. I put the pieces on the bed, wiped them all, and then wiped the box."

"Then madam, let's start wiping. Which one does madam wipe first?"

"It's a silver hairpin." The daughter-in-law saw it clearly. "I took out all the things, the silver hairpin for cleaning, the silver comb..." She explained the order clearly.

Su Xiaopei waited for her to finish counting one by one slowly without interrupting her.

After waiting for a while, she said again: "Someone is calling you outside now, who is it?"

"It's mother. She said that the quilt is ready to dry. She doesn't like to dry it for too long. She said it smells."

"Then how did you do it?"

"I put my stuff in the box and get out quickly."

"Okay, don't worry. Look carefully and put them one by one."

The daughter-in-law became short of breath: "I grabbed the hairpin and hairpin and put them in, and then the silver comb..." She counted one by one, and then she said suddenly: "The pendant, the pendant is on the bed, I didn't put it in, I ran out."

"It's okay, it's okay." Su Xiaopei almost said "It's okay", but when she changed her words, she collected herself and said carefully: "The pendant is still there, don't worry. What are you doing out there?"

"Put back the sheets."

"What's next?"

"Unfold on the bed."

"You unfolded, and what did you do next?"

"The wooden box is under the sheet. I reached out and took it out and put it on the table."

"What's next?"

"I folded the quilt, and folded the thick quilt, and put it in my mother's box."

"Where's the pendant?"

The daughter-in-law didn't speak, her breathing was clearly audible.

"The pendant is on the bed, you can see it. The sheet is folded, the thick quilt is folded, where is the pendant?" Su Xiaopei guided slowly.

At this time, the daughter-in-law said: "I saw it, it was on top of the quilt, and I folded it together with the quilt."

"Very good, don't worry. Then?"

"I made the bed, took back the clothes, folded them, and put them in my mother's suitcase according to the rules. After tidying up the house, I went out."

"Okay, now we're back in the yard. Feeling the warm sun?"

"Yes."

"Where is the pendant?"

"In the quilt, I put it in the big wooden box in the east corner of my mother's house."

"Very well, now you can rest easy, you feel very comfortable. You are in the yard, there is a breeze, do you like being in the yard?"

The daughter-in-law didn't speak, and said after a while: "It's a bit hot, I still like to go back to the house."

"Okay, now go back to the house."

After a while, Su Xiaopei asked, "Are you in the house?"

"Yes, I'm sitting. The armchair was made for me by an official. It's very comfortable."

"Then just sit for a while and rest for a while. When you're done resting, just open your eyes and tell me, okay?"

"it is good."

Su Xiaopei waited for a while, confirmed that she was all right, and breathed a sigh of relief.She patiently waited for the daughter-in-law to open her eyes. After waiting for a long time, she finally opened her eyes as if she woke up from sleep.

"My lord." The daughter-in-law looked around, both surprised and happy, "I remembered, I know where the pendant is."

Su Xiaopei nodded: "Indeed. Madam thought about it carefully, and she did remember."

"I just took a rest for a while." She still remembered everything, she remembered Su Xiaopei chatting with her, she remembered recalling the details of what happened, and she remembered that she sat for a while as if taking a nap.

Su Xiaopei smiled, and then nodded: "It is necessary to have a good rest, so that you can concentrate all your energy and think carefully. Madam has done a good job."

The daughter-in-law couldn't sit still: "I, I want to tell the officials, I thought of it."

Su Xiaopei nodded again, she opened the door, went out to call the yamen servant just now, everyone poured into the yard, the daughter-in-law hurriedly ran towards her official, and told him the matter in detail, the mother-in-law was suspicious, Su Xiaopei asked them to Wait, she went to call the Fu Yin, and the Fu Yin listened and sent a servant to go back with the family.In the end, the emerald green jade pendant was indeed shaken out of the folded quilt in the wooden box.

Su Xiaopei, who heard about the result, and Ran Feize, who had been waiting with her all the time, proudly said: "I failed last time, but this time I will always teach me to succeed."

Ran Feize said: "This method of remembering things is very wonderful, the girl is very capable."

Last time he asked her if she was enchanted, this time he said the method of remembering things.Su Xiaopei blinked and realized.

The Hou Fu Yin called Su Xiaopei and asked her what method she used. Su Xiaopei changed the name of the hypnosis to the method of remembering things, saying that it was actually because the daughter-in-law couldn't remember when she was nervous, and she talked with her to teach her to relax. can remember.Fu Yin didn't say much and let her go down.But after a few days, Fu Yin called Su Xiaopei over again and asked her if this method of recalling events could be used in confession.

If it was in modern times, Su Xiaopei would discuss with him the legal and technically feasible results, but this is another world, and in this world, the Mr. Strong Man she trusts the most, long before she successfully used hypnotism On that day, I taught her earnestly that a person who makes publicity must first have the truth.The ability he said is the ability of the sword.Of course Su Xiaopei understood.

So Su Xiaopei replied to Fu Yin, this method is just to help others think of more things in a very relaxed situation, just like listening to music and reading books when they are tired, the principle is the same, but the method used is different.Therefore, I am afraid that it should not be too clever for interrogation and confession.

But Fu Yin did not give up, he called Su Xiaopei to have a chat from time to time.Even Qin Tutou and several masters were pulled over to discuss how this method can be used.

This matter made Ran Feize frowned and sighed: "Girl, some people are born to cause trouble, maybe you are." Because of this trouble, he wants to leave but can't, can walk but doesn't want to leave, how much he doesn't want to He was also a little confused when he left.He sighed and poked Su Xiaopei on the head.Now that something happened, he had to go, and it was really sad to think about it.

Su Xiaopei looked behind at the sore spot where he was poked, and muttered: "The strong man has something on his mind?"

Ran Feize thought for a while, and said frankly: "There is a murder case in the rivers and lakes. It is said that the murder weapon was the Jiuling Slash made by my teacher, but the identified murderer claimed that he did not do it, and has sent someone to find me, let me go Identify the wound and identify the murder weapon." He paused, looked at Su Xiaopei's disappointed expression when he understood, and sighed in his heart: "Girl, I have something to do, I have to go."
