Chapter Seventy-Six: An Old Case
Qin Moyu sent the case file about the disappearance of the person seven years ago that he had taken from Lord Shangshu to the Xia Mansion early the next morning.
With a thick pile, Ning Shuang naturally went to study the case file after receiving it, Qin Moyu had a lot of things to do in the past few days, so he left first.
Ning Shuang sat in the study for more than an hour, she looked at those files, and the shock in her heart was far greater than when Qin Moyu and her had advanced this matter, seven years ago, in less than a year, there were actually more than 20 people who disappeared in the villages and counties near Kyoto, and the age of the missing people was between sixteen and twenty-five years old, these people were generally young men from the relatively poor villages in various counties, and they had not yet married.
Ning Shuang can completely imagine the grief of that family after the sudden loss of their loved ones, so in addition to shock, there is more anger, she really can't imagine who is so cruel to break so many families in just one year.
"Girl, have a cup of tea and get up and move! You've been watching it for a long time. Yan'er changed the tea that had cooled down on the table, and handed the teacup to Ning Shuang.
Ning Shuang hummed, took the teacup, took two sips, and then put the teacup down, let alone get up, staring at the file without moving.
"Girl! You promised the master to take a break! Yan'er pouted and stretched out her hand to put away the file spread out on the desk.
Ning Shuang finally raised her head, sighed helplessly, and patted the back of Yan'er's hand with a smile: "Okay!" Just don't look at it! ”
"Hmm!" Yan'er smiled happily at this time, and hurriedly put away the file on the table with an unusually numb movement, as if she was afraid that she would regret it.
Ning Shuang got up from the chair, raised his hand and pinched his somewhat sore shoulders, and rubbed his eyes again, he had indeed sat for a longer time just now, not only his shoulders and back were a little sore, but his eyes were also the same.
It's just that Ning Shuang's character has always been like this, if she is really busy with things, she will often enter a realm of selflessness, and Xia Han and Yan Rong have not said much about her for this matter.
It's just that she always promised well at the time, and when she was really busy, she forgot about it.
"Girl, all right! Let's go for a walk in the garden. Yan'er quickly cleaned up the table and was in order.
Ning Shuang glanced at the cabinet where the file was placed and walked outside.
Today's weather is a little cloudy, the sun is hidden in the clouds, only occasionally run out to show your face, the yard is breezy, the temperature is suitable, and there is no scorching sun, it is the most suitable to go for a walk in the garden.
Yan'er was a lively person, and with her chattering with her about all kinds of gossip she had heard and inquired about, Ning Shuang naturally had no chance to think about other things while walking around the garden.
"Girl, have you chosen what you want to wear tomorrow?" Yan'er chatted with Ning Shuang for a while, and then as if she remembered something, she tilted her head and asked Ning Shuang.
"Huh? What to choose? Ning Shuang was stunned by Yan'er's question, and asked suspiciously.
"It's the clothes I wore to watch the dragon boat race tomorrow! Did the girl forget it again? Yan'er complained dissatisfied.
In the past, Liu Qingyue's favorite thing was to dress up, there was no way, she stayed in the palace all day, and she didn't have much else to do if she didn't dress up.
Besides, it is definitely the nature of all girls to love beauty, and Liu Qingyue will naturally be no exception.
However, since Liu Qingyue is no longer Liu Qingyue, she basically doesn't put her mind on dressing up anymore.
She felt like she had no time to waste, and that she had so much to do and learn every day.
And she didn't really want to dress up too ostentatious.
Even the human skin mask on her face was made by Xia Han himself, otherwise let her do it herself, maybe she would have dressed herself up as a public face.
However, Xia Han felt that the frosty temperament was too outstanding, and if her face was too ordinary, it was more likely to attract attention, so she personally made a slightly cold mask that was more in line with her temperament.
Originally, Yan'er meant to invite someone to the house in advance to cut a few new clothes for her, but as soon as she got busy, she delayed the matter.
When I finally remembered to invite people, I couldn't catch up, although the clothes that should be cut still had to be cut, but the clothes that went to Yiyuan yesterday and the clothes that went to see the dragon boat tomorrow had to be chosen from the previous clothes.
Two days ago, Yan'er helped Ningshuang choose several sets of alternative clothes, and the day before yesterday, Yan'er arranged the alternative clothes and asked her to give the clothes, but she was called away by Xiaoru just after she casually pointed to a set of clothes.
Yan'er knew that Xiaoru must have something to do with looking for Ning Shuang, so she put this matter down first.
But fortunately, she didn't need to worry about the jewelry, and the eldest princess asked Qin Moyu to bring several sets of exquisite and easy-to-match heads over early in the morning, otherwise Yan'er would have had even more headaches.
"Ahh This one! How can you forget, don't worry, let's go back to choose after dinner in a while. Ning Shuang blinked, smiling and soothing her little butler.
"Hmmm! Then let's finish eating in a while! Yan'er followed her words and said, she actually knew that Ning Frost must be perfunctory, but she didn't expect her to be too serious, anyway, she had already carefully selected Ning Frost in advance.
Let Ning Shuang pick it up by herself, but I want her to occasionally take some time out of business to adjust and adjust, these are also tasks solemnly given to her by the master, and she naturally wants to complete it seriously.
Sure enough, after eating, when Yan'er put the clothes she had picked out in advance on the bed and let Ning Shuang pick them, she glanced at them and chose a set of moon-white brocade embroidered dresses with light purple belts.
"Hmmm! That's this set, girl, you try on the clothes first, and I'll pick out accessories for the girl. Yan'er handed her the set of clothes that Ning Shuang had picked up, and went to choose the jewelry to match the outfit.
"Can't you try it?" Ning Shuang looked at the clothes that were stuffed into her hands, a little helpless.
Yan'er was carefully selecting accessories, and said without looking back: "It's fast to change clothes!" Madame told me to dress up as beautiful as possible! ”
"Girl, let's try it first, I'll help the girl match the jewelry, it must be beautiful!" When Ning Shuang was still hesitating and struggling, Yan'er had already quickly selected the jewelry and brought it over, her eyes were shining, and she looked forward to it.
Under Yan'er's supervision, Ningshuang had to change into the dress she had just chosen, and Yan'er tried on her hair bun and accessories again, and then let her go back to the study.
In the unsolved case many years ago, it is naturally not so easy to see something from the file.
These people basically disappeared for no reason when they went out alone, the time of disappearance is irregular, and so many people are missing, there are actually valuable clues left, if there is no conspiracy in this matter, no one will believe it.
But after this incident was full of turmoil in the city, it suddenly fell silent again, as if it had never happened, and in the past few years, except for those families who have lost their loved ones, there are basically no people who will remember this incident.
Only, is this really the end of it?
After reading the file for a long time, Ning Shuang walked to the window and pondered for a long time, then returned to the desk and pulled out a snow-white letterhead from the drawer.
Yan'er was pounding medicine in the yard, but Ning Shuang didn't call her, she sharpened the ink herself, and waited for the letter to be written and sealed, and then shouted towards the door.
"Yan'er, you arrange for someone to send this letter to the Eldest Princess's Mansion."
