Chapter 217: Interrogation
If Prince and Princess Ying are willing to cooperate, then things will undoubtedly be much easier.
Xi Liangxian took out the correct posture that a shrewd and capable ancient criminal investigation detective should have, and asked with a look and tone that was neither humble nor arrogant: "May I ask the princess who will serve the maids, servants, and grandmothers of the county lord of Mingzhu, including the cook who is in charge of the county lord's diet and the chauffeur who travels, regardless of distance and relatives, as long as they are people who have had contact with the county lord before the county lord disappears, they all call here, and the minister wants to question them." ”
Seeing that the young squire did not flatter, or begged his mother for mercy, or his heart was weak and flustered, his eyes were clear and upright, and his attitude was neither humble nor arrogant, it seemed that he was the type that made people feel reliable from the bottom of their hearts, and Princess Ying's heart that had been hanging for many days finally got a moment of peace.
It's just that when Princess Ying heard Xi Liangxian's request, she still couldn't help but be slightly puzzled, and said: "Lord Su, a few personal maids who served Mingzhu, after Mingzhu's whereabouts were unknown, this princess had already controlled it as soon as possible, and interrogated them, and they all said that they didn't know when Mingzhu disappeared, and they didn't ask for any useful information." ”
Prince Ying was embarrassed to say that you were purely superfluous, so she only said: "Lord Su interrogates again, it is understandable, but this princess is puzzled-"
"Master Su, it is reasonable that you want to interrogate the personal maid and grandmother who serve Mingzhu, but the cook and the coachman ......."
Speaking of this, Princess Ying paused, "Please forgive Princess Ben for being blunt, as Mingzhu, I'm afraid I haven't said a word to the cook and the coachman, I don't know what Lord Su asked these people to do in the court?" ”
Xi Liangxian didn't miss every expression on Princess Ying's face, and she noticed that when Princess Ying mentioned the cook and the coachman, the expression on her face was very indifferent, and she even frowned obviously.
- Prince and Princess Ying is a person with a very strong sense of dignity and inferiority.
Xi Liangxian made a note of this discovery in his heart.
Princess Ying doesn't look down on the cook and the coachman, but she was born into a noble family, and the dignity and humility are engraved in her bones, so she won't care about the cook, the coachman, who has never been in her eyes.

Xiliangxian said: "Princess, when investigating the case, anyone may become the clue to solve the unsolved case, so no clues can be let go." ”
"The coachman knows where the county lord has been before and after his disappearance, and he can't blindly listen to the maid's words, not that the maid is not credible, but the testimony of the witnesses on both sides may be able to find out the key points differently."
"And the cook fully understands the taste preferences of the county lord, what dishes the county lord likes to eat, what snacks, what drinks, no matter how big or small, maybe she knows better than the princess."
There was one more sentence she didn't say-
If the lord of Mingzhu himself is missing, or is ...... with someone elopement, then these are very important clues.
You can't say that.
At least, we can't say it now until we have further definitive evidence.
If she tells Prince Ying now, your favorite daughter Mingzhu County Lord disappeared not by someone abducted, but eloped with someone, I am afraid that the entire Prince Ying Mansion will be offended by her.
As soon as Xiliangxian explained, as soon as Princess Ying heard it, she said abruptly: "It's still Lord Su who is more thoughtful, I'm really ashamed." ”
Turning his head, he instructed his personal maid, "Jade Bracelet, go, according to Lord Su's instructions, call the county lord's maids, grandmothers, minions, cooks, and coachmen, as long as they are people who have had contact with the county lord for a period of time before the county lord's disappearance, all of them will be called here." ”
After Xiliangxian promised to find her daughter within seven days, Prince Ying changed the fragile and sad appearance of her beloved daughter Pearl County Lord in the Jinluan Palace, and cheered up, and her body exuded a refreshing energy, and she spoke and acted very vigorously.
Thinking that Prince Ying is a general king, and the sons he has trained are also young generals,
Xi Liangxian made another request to Prince Ying and Princess Ying, "Please ask the princess to prepare a room for the lower officials." ”
"It's better to have a narrow room, a little close, the light doesn't need to be too strong, the orientation doesn't need to be sunny, and you only need a table, two chairs, and a candlestick inside."
It is impossible for so many people to be brought back to the Criminal Department for interrogation, so a simple interrogation room can only be arranged in the British Prince's Mansion.
This kind of interrogation room is easy to give people a sense of psychological oppression, and it is undoubtedly much more convenient for interrogation.
Thinking of something, she explained again, "By the way, after the princess called these people, she put them separately and let them guard, and no verbal, physical, or eye contact was allowed. ”
The Prince and Princess Ying responded one by one, although she did not understand some strange requests of this young squire, but she felt mysterious and professional, and her trust in her increased a little more.
**
In the makeshift interrogation room of the Prince of England's palace.
Xi Liangxian sat down, the candle flame was faint, and the vermilion official robe on her body had a feeling of being as beautiful as jade.
The first person to come in must be Qin Se, the personal maid of the Lord of Mingzhu.
"Sit." Xi Liangxian raised his chin slightly and motioned for Qin Se to sit down on the chair opposite him.
Qin Se was slightly startled, and subconsciously refused, "Sit?" Or...... Why don't you be a slave or still kneel? ”
"The official told you to sit down, and you sat down."
Xi Liangxian is still quite prestigious, as soon as she said it, although Qin Se was trembling, she also sat down on the chair, and her back subconsciously straightened.
Xi Liangxian came up with a modern set of interrogation methods.
"Name?"
“…… Jean Se. Perhaps it was because she had never seen such a young and beautiful adult, or maybe she was nervous about being interrogated alone like a prisoner, and the maidservant named Qin Se swallowed her saliva, and her voice was slightly hesitant.
Xiliangxian looked directly into Qin Se's eyes and continued to ask.
"Age?"
"Sixteen."
"You are a son of the Ying Prince's Mansion?"
"That's right, the slave maid grew up in Prince Ying's mansion since she was a child, and the slave maid's mother is a member of the palace."
"How long have you been serving the Lord of Mingzhu?"
"The slave maid has been serving the county lord since she was four years old, and it has been twelve years now."
From the age of four, twelve years.
Xi Liangxian frowned secretly, and thought: Isn't this Nima's child labor?
Thinking that this was ancient times, Xi Liangxian had no choice but to endure the desire to complain in his heart and continue his interrogation work.
"You have served the county lord for more than ten years, you should fully understand the county lord's personality and preferences, right?"
"Yes." Qin Se nodded and said, "Although the county lord has a noble status, he has always treated his subordinates kindly, and he treats slaves and maids like sisters. ”
Xi Liangxian's eyes suddenly sharpened-
"So, for the sake of the county lord, you're willing to do anything, aren't you?"
