Chapter 7: Catching the Thief (I)

Zou Chen returned to the East Palace, remembering the previous episode, and couldn't help but show a smile on his lips.

This...... Is it fate?

Originally, there was something important to deal with tonight, but he learned that the seventh day of the seventh month of July was her birthday through Du Ruozhi's mouth, and he regretted that he couldn't go to Anguohou's Mansion to congratulate, but he met her in the temple.

However, when he said the phrase "happy birthday", the expression on the other party's face was really funny.

At the same moment, Jiang Jingshu, who had just returned home, shuddered.

The night breeze is so cool.

Back in the room, Jiang Jingshu wanted to fall asleep, but suddenly felt that something was wrong.

This room has obviously been visited by outsiders.

The back room was also turned over, and the stacked gifts on the table looked neat, but there was always an indescribable weirdness.

"Mu Tao, do you have a list of gifts?"

"Yes, it's so late, how did Miss remember to watch that?"

"I'll take a look."

After counting it, Jiang Jingshu found that at least three gifts were missing, and they were all very valuable.

It seems that this "thief" is not only familiar with the environment in the house, but also has plenty of time, finds the most precious gifts to take away, and deliberately does the thing of carefully arranging the scene of the crime.

However, it is too late now, and besides, these gifts are not important to her, so let's sleep first, and we will solve it tomorrow.

From today onwards, it is the time of the recess to come, and the school also has a six-day holiday.

Jiang Jingshu got up early in the morning, and she couldn't take care of breakfast, so she began to gather the maids and made a lot of noise.

When Ji Shuhua, the eldest lady of the Marquis of Anguo's Mansion, arrived at the main hall, she saw a group of maids around the courtyard, bowing their heads, lined up, Jiang Jingshu standing at the front, talking about something.

"Shu'er," Ji Shuhua walked slowly, "What are you doing early in the morning?" ”

Although it was a helpless tone, his eyes were full of doting.

"Mother, it's so good that you're here, my daughter is really anxious."

"Shu'er, don't worry, tell your mother slowly about something."

"Mother, when I went back to my room last night, I found that a few gifts were missing. According to her daughter's observation, the thief who stole the gift should be an internal thief. ”

Jiang Jingshu lowered her head, and her voice became a little choked, "As the old saying goes, courtesy is light and affection is heavy, everyone has a heart, how can you live up to it?" Shu'er should have seen everything one by one, and then thanked the giver one by one...... That thief is truly hateful. ”

"Is there such a thing?" Ji Shuhua frowned, "So Shu'er summoned these maids to ask for confessions one by one?" ”

Jiang Jingshu nodded, a hint of cunning flashing in her eyes.

Ji Shuhua's eyes were a little more stern, "Your father is not here, in this way, my mother is in charge, if I catch this thief, I will not be merciful!" ”

The maids who were called were in various chambers and in the side rooms. And the maid in the main room, there is a personal servant Ji Shuhua, who was also called by Ji Shuhua to the queue.

Seeing that everyone had arrived, Jiang Jingshu began to interrogate, "Where were you all yesterday?" ”

After a pause, he added, "Where there are more than three people who can testify against each other, it is deemed that there is no time to commit the crime." ”

When the words fell, the maids all exploded and began to talk nonsense.

"Third Miss, we can testify to each other! At that time, the five sons were drinking in the Huxin Pavilion, and several of us were waiting aside, by the way, the sons could also testify for us! ”

Jiang Jingshu pondered for a moment and signaled that she understood.

The maids in the east wing breathed a sigh of relief.

Seeing that Jiang Jingshu's gaze turned to her side, the maids in the side room also rushed to speak.

Everyone has something to do, and everyone can prove to each other. glanced around, but no one had any doubts, which made Jiang Jingshu a little frustrated.

Ji Shuhua saw her little emotions and comforted her: "It's okay, Shu'er, don't be impatient, my mother believes in you, you will definitely be able to handle it well." ”

Jiang Jingshu smiled, regained her mood, and continued to interrogate. In the end, only the maid in the west wing where she was left did not ask.

Coincidentally, the maids of the three young ladies were present today, Jiang Jingshu walked up to the eldest lady's maid Begonia first, and asked softly, "Begonia, were you making soup for the eldest sister at that time?" ”
