Chapter 164: Discovery
The stiff thing made Master Li silent for a long time, and after a while, he looked at Lu Zhian and said:
"Lord Wang, you arrived two days before us, what do you think now?"
When Lu Zhian heard him ask himself, his eyes moved away from Su Yange, and he watched Li Shu return:
"In the past two days, I have only briefly learned about some of the situation, and I have interrogated the subordinates of the Wen Mansion, and the rhetoric is almost the same...
The general meaning is that the second lady is gentle and virtuous, never punishes or scolds her subordinates, virtuous and beautiful.
After the second son had some accidents, his behavior has always been like this, and he has never changed, and this time he doesn't seem to have anything to do with him.
Finally, there is the personal maid next to the second lady, Ah Xiang.
On weekdays, she has very few words, but five years ago, the second lady met a merchant who bought and sold maids on the street, and only bought a reward back, and it is said that she is loyal to the second lady.
It's just that this maid's face is not very good-looking all day long, and she doesn't get close to anyone, so there are no people in this house who have better relationships, so I don't know much about her. ”
"In this way, there are relatively few people in contact with this Ah Xiang on weekdays, but this matter can be implicated, and it is a cut of face...
Why is her face scratched? Is it someone trying to cover up something..."When Lord Li heard Lu Zhian's words, he couldn't help but be a little puzzled, his brows furrowed slightly, and his tone was quite serious.
Lu Zhian supported his chin with one hand, thought slightly, and then looked at Chen Yunxi, who was standing beside Master Li, and saw that she was looking at herself, remembering that she was the one who asked the people from the six doors to check, so his eyes motioned for her to explain.
Chen Yunxi nodded quickly, took the initiative to take a step forward, stood in front of Lord Li, and explained:
"My lord, they didn't think something was right about this matter, so they sent us six doors to investigate.
searched the whole city, and it was found that there were no missing girls in Wencheng, and there were no suspicious people with the same shape as her... For the time being, the maid is designated as herself, but I don't know how much hatred the murderer has for him, so he only dealt with her face. ”
"I have a few questions I want to ask." Jiang Chendu, who was sitting on the side, heard their conversation, and seemed to remember something, as if he had some thoughts of his own, so he took the initiative to speak.
As soon as he said this, he directly attracted the attention of the people in the room, and they all looked at him.
Chen Yunxi regarded him as a friend of the prince, and he didn't dare to slack off, looking at him and saying respectfully: "Son, please speak." ”
"Only checked Wencheng?" Jiang Chendu nodded slightly and asked directly.
"Yes." Chen Yunxi also nodded with a serious face, and then said: "The results of the autopsy showed that the time of death was about the time of death, and when it was almost the hour of the hour, he was discovered by the people in the palace, and he reported it directly to the official without delay."
After the prefect learned about this matter, the first thing he did was to seal the city, and the city gate would only open around midnight, so he had no chance to go out for an hour or two. ”
"If he had been prepared, it would have been an hour, and he would have fled." Jiang Chendu didn't think so, his brows furrowed slightly, and he made a thinking gesture.
The hypothesis is not unthinkable, this is a planned murder, and the murderer must have prepared in advance, including the escape route.
But the city gate will only be opened when it is close to the hour, and the distance from the Wen Mansion to the city gate, I say that it will also take an hour, and it is said that when the city gate is opened, except for those who have been waiting outside. The people, no one left the city, that is to say, the murderer did not go out ...
"Have you checked the neighboring cities?" Jiang Chendu said this, although he had some doubts, but there seemed to be something in his words that he didn't say.
He was waiting for an answer.
"If you also check the neighboring city, the manpower and time consumed are relatively huge, and the possibility of the murderer leaving the city has been ruled out at present, and we have not gone to the neighboring city to find it..."
"I mean, like, is there a girl missing?"
"No... Yes. I don't know why I heard his question, Chen Yunxi's inexplicable tone paused.
"I suggest that the neighboring cities also be checked, to see if there is a girl with a similar body missing, I think the dead maid Ah Xiang is not the real Ah Xiang, she should just be a victim." Jiang Chen didn't come to say this, but it sounded very firm, just to let them listen to their opinions and check it.
"Why is Jiang Gongzi so determined?" It was rare to see that he took the initiative to analyze, Lu Zhian also put aside his prejudices for the time being and asked seriously.
"If I'm not mistaken... Before entering Wencheng, I passed by the city and found something interesting, which seems to be worthy of the number now. ”
Jiang Chendu hooked slightly, and the corners of his mouth were slightly mysterious.
"Don't sell it, say it quickly." Seeing that he was a little cynical, Su Yange couldn't help but lean closer to him and whispered.
When they were so nervous, in this awkward atmosphere, I don't know if Jiang Chendu wanted to liven up the atmosphere or deliberately anger them.
After all, Jiang Chendu is not from Yongxia, so what does Yongxia's affairs have to do with him? My family is anxious, but outsiders are not.
Jiang Chendu looked at Su Yange in a low voice, and with a hint of pleading, he couldn't help but feel in a good mood, and said:
"I was waiting at the door of the inn, after all, I couldn't go anywhere, and I was bored when I noticed the signs around me.
It is said that a farmer in the city lost a daughter, and the notice says:
The girl's name was Liu Yue, seventeen years old, black hair, many thin and long braids, apricot eyes, thin lips, and a good face.
He is about five feet long, thin, his feet are about five inches long, he speaks slowly, his mind is a little stupid, and he often can't find his home.
It has been half a month since she disappeared, and if the people in the city meet this woman, please send her to the yamen as soon as possible.
I don't know if you are familiar with such a description? ”
Hearing Jiang Chendu's words, Chen Yunxi was shocked, and even Lu Zhian's eyebrows were wrinkled together.
Like, it's too similar, the woman's facial features can't see anything, but the length of her body and feet are completely matched, and she is thin.
"But why did Childe remember this notice so clearly? Are you sure there are no deviations? Chen Yunxi asked this, mainly because Jiang Chendu spoke very fluently, and he also said the content of the notice clearly, it sounded as if this piece of paper was presented in front of their eyes, and they couldn't help but be a little puzzled.
"Ben Gongzi has always been helpful, and he naturally keeps this kind of thing in mind, and if he meets him on the road, it can be regarded as a good deed, isn't it?" Jiang Chendu seemed to be quite relaxed, but what he said was also true.
And Lu Zhian didn't doubt his words after hearing it, he knew that what he said should be true.
At that time, Jiang Chendu was waiting outside the inn, it was true, the small city was next to Wencheng, passing by at that time, Lu Zhian and they thought about eating at the inn first.
But Jiang Chendu was reluctant to eat at the same table with them, although Lu Zhian took him with him, he didn't really imprison him, there was still freedom, but he needed Mo Chen to follow him everywhere.
After eating at noon that day, as soon as I left the inn, I saw Jiang Chendu and Mo Chen waiting outside, at that time, Jiang Chendu's eyes seemed to be attracted by something else, and they didn't even notice that they came out of the inn and walked in front of them, until Lu Zhian coughed softly, which reminded Jiang Chendu, and when he came back to his senses, he didn't say anything, but he seemed to be thinking about something.
At that time, Lu Zhian didn't think much about it, he just wanted to reach Wencheng quickly, so he didn't ask, now that he thinks about it, Jiang Chen should have seen that notice at that time.
"Whether what this son said is true, you can go and ask the prince." Jiang Chendu saw that Chen Yunxi's expression changed slightly, and he could see that she was a little confused, so she said this helplessly, and directly threw this question to Lu Zhian.
Sure enough, Chen Yunxi looked at Lu Zhian with some uncertainty, as if asking him about the credibility of this person's words.
"He's been staying in the inn for the past few days, and hasn't been to the Wen family with us, so he really hasn't seen the maid, and what he's saying now is almost completely right, which can also prove that he is not lying." Lu Zhian naturally would not have prejudices against him in this kind of matter, after all, what he said was indeed useful.
"So, I said that the neighboring cities should also be checked, and maybe some useful information can be found, such as whether anyone can see where the girl ended up or who she is talking to." Jiang Chendu was also talking about these proposals sincerely, and his expression looked very serious.
"Someone will be sent to investigate this matter." After listening to their conversation, Master Li also opened his mouth to answer the matter.
"After a while, let people check, about the maid next to the second lady, her origin and her origin, if she is really looking for someone to replace her, then it is likely that the original maid Huan is the murderer, but the purpose of her murder is not yet clear." After listening to Jiang Chendu's words, Lu Zhian also made such a decision, Jiang Chendu's words gave him an idea, the lost girl is likely to be in the Wen Mansion now... The Dead Reward.
It's scary to think about it.
"I understand." Chen Yunxi nodded solemnly and replied:
"After a while, I will go back to the six doors and report this matter to the head catcher, so that Liu catcher can notify the prefect that he can approve more manpower for us, so that it will be much easier to investigate."
Although this sounds like no problem, it is also a secret poke and poke expression, the six doors are not manpowered, and they still need to apply to the above.
Lu Zhian heard it, frowned and said:
"If you go directly to the staff, you will say that it is my order."
