367 The cousin is gone
Seeing her like this, Zhang Meishou affirmed the guess in his heart.
"What the hell is going on?"
"Jing'er is gone......" Xu Wanxi was so nervous that she didn't know where to put her hands.
Zhang Meishou's eyes changed suddenly.
Jing'er is the cousin of the Dingguo Mansion and the daughter of Aunt Xu.
"How could it not be?"
"This afternoon, my aunt and I went out with Jing'er, my aunt was looking at jewelry in the Treasure Pavilion, Jing'er was clamoring to eat sugar gourds, so I asked Aunt Lian to buy it - but who knows, Jing'er also ran out."
Xu Wanxi recalled the situation at that time, and said in a trembling voice: "When Jing'er's nurse found out, my aunt and I immediately took someone to chase them out, but we couldn't find it...... Aunt Lian also said that she didn't see Jing'er at all. β
"The people in the house have found it now, but there is no news for a long time, and my father has also gone out and has not come back yet."
Xu Wanxi grabbed Zhang Meishou's hand uneasily and asked, "Zhenzhen, do you think Jing'er will ......?"
"Don't talk nonsense, Jing'er was born to experience a great disaster, and she must be a blessed person."
Zhang Meishou comforted her, and then asked, "Can you go to the Yamen to report to the official?" β
Jing'er is only three years old now, but there is no need to worry about talking too much, and the safety of the child is the most important.
Xu Wanxi nodded and said, "Half an hour ago, my grandfather was in charge and reported to the official...... The streets near where Jing'er went missing were also posted with missing person notices. β
Jing'er had an accident, and the family was in a hurry, and they used all the methods they could think of, and they didn't dare to hide the matter at all.
Zhang Meishou nodded.
It's the best way to do it.
Xu Wanxi looked at the darkening night outside the window, and suddenly shed tears: "Jing'er has never gone out alone, and she must be frightened if she can't find me and my aunt...... I don't know where she is at this time, but I'm hungry and frozen......"
And hungry and freezing, I'm afraid it's still the best outcome.
I'm afraid I'm afraid that I'll meet a bad guy......
"Don't think about it yet." Zhang Meishou pulled her to sit down and said, "You can tell me in detail about Jing'er's disappearance." β
Xu Wanxi explained the matter in detail before and after.
Every time she said it, she felt extremely uncomfortable, but now she was asked not to say or do anything, but it was even more painful.
She called Zhen Zhen to talk.
Zhang Meishou frowned slightly when he heard this.
At first, she vaguely felt something strange when she heard the words, but now that she listened to it in detail, the strangeness in her heart deepened.
"How long did Aunt Lian go out before Jing'er's nurse found out that the person was missing?"
Listening to her friend's question, Xu Wanxi thought carefully for a moment, and then replied: "At most, it's only half an hour." β
"A quarter of an hour smaller...... That's not short. β
"Zhenzhen, what do you mean by that?" Xu Wanxi vaguely sensed something.
Zhang Meishou didn't answer and asked: "Jing'er is still so young, it stands to reason that it is impossible for the nurse and the maid to relax for half a moment, let alone half an hour - who was responsible for watching Jing'er at that time?" β
"Jing'er had an accident, the nurse and a maid only cared about passing the buck to each other, and no one dared to admit it, and both of them were kneeling in the aunt's yard at this time."
One of them must be lying, but the immediate priority is not to deal with anyoneβif Jing'er can't find it, it's useless to let the careless die a hundred times.
Zhang Meishou asked again: "Then who said that Jing'er went out with Aunt Lian?" β
There are many possibilities in a quarter of an hour, and people may not have gone out with Aunt Lian.
After she mentioned it like this, Xu Wanxi realized that something was wrong.
"It was the nurse who said it! At that time, she found that Jing'er was gone, so she babbled and said, 'I must have gone out with Aunt Lian'...... At that time, the situation was urgent, and when she said this, my aunt and I thought the same way. β
So, at that time, they took people and went to the direction of Aunt Lian.
"Zhenzhen, you say...... Is she in a hurry, orβ"
"I just don't think it makes sense." Zhang Meishou didn't let Xu Wanxi make up his mind, and he didn't either, but he immediately said: "Let's go see her." β
Xu Wanxi nodded hurriedly.
The two took the maid and went to Xu's yard.
On the way, Zhang Meishou kept thinking.
It stands to reason that most people should be blank in their minds when they are in a hurry, and they don't know what to do - but this woman can open her mouth to guide others.
If it's just guidance, it's just that.
I'm afraid, I'm misleading.
It's not that she thinks people too badly, but this matter is really strange. And if her guess is only one in a thousand, it should also be confirmed.
At the moment, there is no doubt to be missed.
In Xu's courtyard, there were really two people kneeling at this time.
It's just that the Xu family is not in the courtyard, according to the maid, he went to the Duchess of Dingguo to discuss countermeasures.
"I didn't come to see my aunt." Xu Wanxi walked straight towards the two kneeling figures.
Zhang Meishou slowed down and didn't get too close.
At this time, she came forward to ask, and there was something wrong. On the way, she had already told Wanxi everything she should ask.
"Why did you decide that Jing'er went to find Aunt Lian at that time?" Xu Wanxi opened her mouth and asked.
Zhang Meishou stared closely at the reaction of the two.
There was a moment of confusion on the maid's face, but the nurse's expression became vaguely nervous.
"Before, the cousin girl was clamoring to eat rock sugar gourd, thinking that she should have gone with her......" The nurse reacted and hurriedly replied: "At that time, the slave was so worried that she just blurted out." β
Jing'er now understands the words, and she is the most obedient on weekdays, so if she wants to wait, she will wait. You are her personal nurse, how can you not know? β
The nurse obviously didn't expect a second girl to come suddenly, so aggressive, she didn't know how to explain it for a while, so she just knocked her head on the ground and choked up: "I didn't look at my cousin girl today, and there is indeed a dereliction of duty for slaves and maids...... The slave and maid were willing to be punished. β
"You don't want to talk to me about him here, and you will answer whatever I ask you!" The girl's face is delicate, but her voice is very cold at this time.
"What should be said, the slave has already told my aunt and grandmother." The nurse still knocked her head on the ground and sobbed: "Could it be that the second girl wants to treat the slave and maid like a thief for the sake of saying something in a hurry......
"You think you are something, and you deserve to talk to me like this - don't say that I caught a sentence and came to judge you, even if I didn't have this sentence, I wanted to judge it, and I could also judge it!"
Xu Wanxi sneered and said, "And if you are frank and honest, you have no shame in your heart, you can just answer what I ask." Such a dodge, is it because you are afraid that you will not be able to make mistakes if you say too much? β
The nurse's face tightened, and before she could speak, she heard the maid kneeling beside her say: "The second girl is wise, just a few words, but they all hit the nail on the head...... In fact, the slave maid was already suspicious, but because Mother Lu was the nurse of the cousin, there was no evidence, so she didn't dare to say it......"
Xu Wanxi looked at her, frowned, and said, "There's no need to pat yourself on the back, you just have to get down to business." β
Besides, those are the words that Zhen Zhen taught her, she is wise.
