Chapter 488: Revealed
Chapter 488 revealed
The Fourth Highness did not have the consciousness of being a guest at all, strode into the hall, shouted to the maidservant to serve tea, and then owed a debt, took the initiative to give Xiao Ying to the main seat, and sat down with condescension.
Only then did he greet Nie Xuan with a pleasant face.
"Ah Xuan, let's talk about what I found today." The familiar title made Nie Xuan almost frown into Sichuan characters.
Nie Xuan actually has no resistance to people who are familiar with him, not to mention that this Fourth Highness has never looked at people's faces. It is all about your mood.
At this time, it is very rare to treat him with such courtesy.
Nie Xuan was not ignorant of the severity, he looked at Xiao Ying. Xiao Ying nodded slightly, signaling that there was no need to hide it from His Royal Highness Feng Si.
Nie Xuan opened his mouth at this time.
“…… According to the girl's instructions, the subordinate went from house to house to ask what the whole street had done on the day the child was lost. Everyone said that they didn't see the child at all that day. Some people also think it is strange, because the child is always running in the street, and when the meal is served, when he calls his own child to go back to eat, if the child is also there, he shouts to eat together.
But that day, no one saw the child. The subordinates also used the method taught by the girl to verify that the people living on that street were from poor backgrounds, and they were not very bold, and they did not dare to hide what the officials asked. ”
“…… You mean, that kid had been with someone no one knew about that day? ”
During the interval of the visit, Xiao Ying said what she and the woman said in the first visit.
If it was Feng Jing, he wouldn't notice anything abnormal. It has long been a habit for the child not to go home for dinner, and it is the same as peace, and he doesn't see anything abnormal at all, and he instinctively doesn't think much about it.
Nie Xuan nodded.
And the man must have given the child a good meal, and the child told his mother to bring back something good in the evening. For children, what is delicious equals what is not available at home. It is difficult for poor families to see meat. The man should have given the child meat dishes. The subordinates followed this clue to investigate, and found three streets, and finally a guy from a small restaurant recalled. There seemed to be such a customer that day, who looked tall and thin, who looked about thirty years old, and the man looked ordinary, and the reason why the man remembered it was because someone was making trouble in the store that day, and he almost hit the man, and he gave the man a free bowl of wine. When leaving, the man took a few dishes with him. ”
"Found it?" Feng Jing couldn't believe it.
Whether it's too easy, too easy to get, people are often a little skeptical.
"How can it be so easy!" Xiao Ying shook her head. Motioning to Nie Xuan to continue...... "I asked people to draw portraits, and asked the people on the street where the child was lost with the portraits, only a blacksmith at the corner of the street had some impressions of this person, and he said that every morning at that time, there was always a man wandering on the street.
He thought he had come out for a walk in the morning, so he didn't care. I remembered it when I saw the portrait. It seems that a few days after this man appeared, children began to be lost on the street. Lately, the blacksmith couldn't see the man anymore. ”
"Audacious." His Royal Highness Feng Si said angrily.
actually stepped on a point in advance, and in order to abduct the child, it can be described as well-intentioned.
"What else?" There is no need for Xiao Ying to speak, His Royal Highness Feng Si has already opened his mouth to urge. He believed that the people who Xiao Ying reused must have heard more than that.
Sure enough, Nie Xuan continued. "Now that it was confirmed that this man had indeed appeared on the street where the child had been lost, his subordinates sent their brothers to act together. Divided a few ways and went to the neighborhood where the child was lost and asked. Eventually, two more witnesses were found. There are two places where strangers have indeed appeared. However, this is the capital, and there are occasional merchants passing by, so everyone does not pay too much attention to strangers. The reason why this person is destined is because this person seems to have a habit of coming out in the morning. It was rarely seen by the one who got up early to make a living. ”
Xiao Ying nodded.
Although the results are a little unsatisfactory, it only takes one day to find out to this extent, Nie Xuan is already very powerful.
“…… Next, let's confirm whether this is a gang crime. Ask about biting strangers, especially if the child appears three or five days before it was lost and then suddenly disappears. The range can be increased, the murderer is very cunning, and he does not show up lightly during the day. So only a handful of people may have seen him by accident...... After checking for so long, there is no news from Shuntianfu. My guess is that whether they commit crimes alone or in a group, these people seem to have some unwritten rules. Maybe not going out during the day is one of the rules.
I circled a few places on the map. You take someone to ask if they have recently quit the lease alone, or if they have rented for a few months, but the person has suddenly left. Or tell the owner of the house that he has not returned for a long time after going out to run errands. If there is, all of them are documented. ”
Nie Xuan took the map and glanced at it hurriedly.
The place where Xiao Yingquan was found was far away from the lost child.
He had an idea and understood what Xiao Ying meant. "Yes. Subordinates should do it as soon as possible. After Nie Xuan finished speaking, he turned around and left, the so-called soldier is very fast. Solving cases should also pay attention to efficiency.
Xiao Ying made a move, could it be that she had no advance or retreat for several days like Shuntianfu?
That's impossible.
Although I can't guarantee that the case will be solved in a few days, it will be soon.
And saving people is like fighting fires, those children are now uncertain about their life and death, and the sooner they find the real culprit, the sooner they can save the children.
Nie Xuan was in such a hurry that His Royal Highness Feng Si didn't react at all, what did Xiao Ying's picture mean? "Changning, have you found the trace of the murderer?"
Xiao Ying nodded first, then shook her head. "It's too early to say that the trail has been found, but it's just a suspicion. As I said, no matter what the case is, no matter how bizarre or sensational, there is only one truth. I don't believe in ghosts, it can only be man-made. Since it is done by people, there will always be clues. ”
Today she has found the clues of the other party. Next, it's up to you to see who reacts faster.
"When did you last lose a child?"
"Two days ago...... It's a child of a small official's family. The little official's family is quite well-off, and recently the family has hired two more nurses to patrol the night. The two only said that they suddenly felt a headache and weakness that night, and they didn't know when they fell asleep, and when they woke up, the children at home were lost. The door is also wide open, and it seems that the child went out on his own. ”
Feng Jing really worked this case, so he knew the facts of the case.
There are too many petty officials in the capital, and His Royal Highness Fengsi doesn't particularly care about it.
So I just casually call him a small official. "What is the opinion of the imperial doctor in the palace on the ingredients of the incense?"
Feng Jing was a little surprised that Xiao Ying actually guessed that he used the imperial doctor in the palace, but thinking that Xiao Ying could say such an insightful thing to him, it seemed that it was not too surprising that she could guess.
