When Jiang Xixi woke up, he saw Cheng Muyou sitting on the edge of the bed, his back was straight, and his eyes looked out through the window, which seemed to be full of worry.

Jiang Xixi didn't bother him, she stared at Cheng Muyou quietly for a while, and saw that he still hadn't detached himself from his thoughts, so she sat up with her arms on the bed and said softly, "My lord, is there something wrong?" Why does it look so gloomy? ”

Hearing Jiang Xixi's voice, Cheng Muyou suddenly came back to his senses, just for a moment, the look on his face had changed, the gloomy cloud was gone, and there was a rare tenderness on his face, he smiled at her, "You woke up, these days, Xun'er is worried, although I told him that you just fell asleep, but he still cries for a while every day, it's really annoying to me." ”

Jiang Xixi knew that he had something to hide from him, but if he didn't say it, she didn't want to embarrass him, so a smile came out of the corner of her mouth, "Xun'er is only six years old after all, I know that adults always think he is squeamish, not like a boy, I am afraid that he will be spoiled by us, but although this kid loves to cry, his heart is still very tenacious, and he also has his own set of attention, I heard Shi Jin say that when Miss Yan lived in the house, she once taught Xun'er to read half a military book, he seemed to like it very much, and he held it all day long, maybe, We can become an invincible general in the future. ”

At the mention of Yan Niang, the smile on Cheng Muyou's face froze for a moment, although it was fleeting, Jiang Xixi was still keenly aware of it, "My lord, something happened in Xin'an City again?" ”

"Jiao Xiaomei has found it."

"Found? What does that mean? Jiang Xixi slept in Xin'an Mansion for a few days, and did not know what happened that night.

On the night of the lunar eclipse, she went to Sun Huaijin to seek revenge, ran out of the house alone, and disappeared. Yesterday, Shi Jin and they found her body in Tianyi Pavilion, the skin on her body was stripped clean, even the scalp was stripped off, and there was nothing left. ”

Jiang Xixi was shocked, and then burst into tears, "She has just turned ten years old, and she is still a child." As she spoke, she clenched her fists and slammed them into the bed, her teeth creaking, "My lord, have you caught the murderer?" ”

Cheng Muyou's face darkened, "No, and there are very few clues to solve the case," he stood up and sighed lightly, "I have a hunch that this will be another tricky case." ”

"We have solved so many cases with many obstacles, my lord, I believe that this case is not a problem for you, besides, isn't there still Miss Yan, she knows the past and the present, and has strange skills, she will definitely be able to help us solve the case quickly."

Cheng Muyou hesitated for a moment, and then looked at Jiang Xixi, "Xixi, what kind of person do you think Miss Yan is?" ”

"She's beautiful, smart and smart, Xun'er is also very close to her, and it's not too much to say IKEA IKEA." She thought about this sentence in her heart for a long time, so when Cheng Muyou asked her, she blurted it out, and she didn't even stumble.

Cheng Muyou smiled bitterly, "What are you talking about, I'm asking you, do you think Miss Yan is a credible person?" ”

Jiang Xi was stunned for a moment, only then did he realize that he had misunderstood, and his face was a little unbearable, so he laughed dryly twice, "Miss Yan, she ...... She, like adults, is reluctant to confide her sincerity to others easily, and she is a person who hides a lot of secrets. ”

Cheng Muyou narrowed his eyes, "You think so too?" ”

Jiang Xixi sat up straight, "I think so, but, at the same time, I also know that the reason why she didn't say it was not because she didn't want to say it, but because she couldn't say it." Moreover, even if she did not open her heart to me, it did not prevent me from respecting her, because after all that I had been through, I found that she was actually pure in heart, jealous and hateful, and a ...... Well......" she paused, "a very nice person." ”

"Nice, nice people?" Cheng Muyou was amused by her words, but although he said it childishly, his heart suddenly felt a lot more comfortable, Jiang Xixi is a very simple person, but maybe the more simple the person, the more he can distinguish the truth of people's hearts.

He helped her lie down again, "You rest for a while, I'll go and bring you some food, you have drunk some gruel in the past few days, you should be hungry." ”

As soon as he turned around to leave, Jiang Xixi sat up halfway up with his arms propped up, "My lord, I'm ...... I suddenly remembered something, maybe it had something to do with Jiao Xiaomei's death. ”

"What's the matter?"

"Do you remember Madame's sister?"

"Madame has two younger sisters, the eldest sister has passed away, and there is a younger sister who is about the same age as you."

"Do you know how Madame's eldest sister died?"

Cheng Muyou pondered for a while, "When I came back from the Song-Liao border with you, my wife had already passed away, and I only occasionally heard people mention that her eldest sister went a few months earlier than her, but at that time I was reviewing the imperial examination, and after returning home, I moved to another remote house, so I didn't hear about it, and I haven't investigated the cause of her death." ”

Jiang Xixi's expression was solemn, "At that time, you were not in the mansion, I had just arrived in Xin'an City, I was not familiar with everyone, and I was extremely unsuitable for this kind of life without going out of the door, and I wanted to go out all day long, and wanted to go to the side house to find you, but as a result, those servants told me about my wife and sister in order to scare me." ”

Cheng Muyou's long eyebrows were deep, "Could it be that she is the same as Jiao Xiaomei?" ”

Jiang Xixi nodded deeply, "Those servants said, Miss Xixi, don't run around, in case someone picks you up, we won't be able to recognize you if we want to collect your body." Look at Madame's fellow sister, such a big girl like a flower, she finally became a bloody child, her skin was gone, she was stripped clean, and even her hair was pulled out, which scared her to death. I was completely restrained because of these words, no, not only did I close my heart, I was so scared that I didn't sleep well for half a month, as soon as I closed my eyes, I always felt that someone was standing in front of the bed, smiling at me hideously, saying that they wanted to peel off my skin. Later, thanks to the master, he ordered people to boil a calming decoction for me to drink every day, and I slept well and slowly eased up. ”

"It turned out that the same case had already happened in Bianliang six years ago, and now it is happening again in Xin'an. It's just that after six years, the murderer hasn't been brought to justice? ”

"It is not known whether these two cases are the same person, after all, I only heard someone say it when I was a child, and the specific facts of the case have to be understood by adults in Bianliang in person."

Cheng Muyou looked out the window, "I'll go, I'm just thinking, if it's really the same person, then this matter will be even more complicated." ”
