Xu Jing paused slightly, and said, "I shouldn't be free, what's wrong?" ”

With so many clues found today, it is estimated that there will be new news about the case one after another tomorrow, and Xu Jing feels that it is better for her not to wander around.

Zhou Wan suddenly looked disappointed, "That's it, I just learned today that there is a very beautiful lake on the outskirts of Xijing, it is said that you can see swans there, the weather is so good these days, it is neither cold nor hot, I also want to invite Sister Jing to go out and play together!" ”

Xu Jing couldn't help but raise the corners of her mouth and said, "Thank you for the invitation, let's talk about it next time you are free, will you go out alone tomorrow?" ”

Zhou Wan shook her head and pointed at Zhou Xian diagonally behind her with a smile, "Fifth brother go with me!" ”

Zhou Xian was still the same as before, with an unruly face, and he didn't look at Xu Jing.

Xu Jing raised her eyebrows slightly and said, "It's good to have someone to accompany you, pay attention to safety." ”

After saying that, he continued to hurry to the room.

Seeing Xu Jing walking away, Zhou Wan turned around, couldn't help but pat his fifth brother on the shoulder, and said angrily: "Bastard fifth brother, a big man is so stingy, Sister Jing just said you before, and everything she said was right, what do you always do to Sister Jing's face!" ”

Previously, if Xu Jing scolded Zhou Xian in the courtyard for not even being as good as a four-year-old child, he would have been reported to the Zhou family in Anping County by the steward here word for word.

Zhou Xian felt that he was Zhou Wan's brother, and he was really shameless to be reprimanded like this by his own sister, so he couldn't help jumping to his feet and said, "Who showed that woman's face!" Obviously, that woman is not feminine at all, that is, she is not gentle and considerate! What man wants to associate with a woman like that! ”

Zhou Wan crossed her hands on her hips and said, "Sister Jing is not gentle or considerate, what does it matter to you?" You don't marry Sister Jing, oh no, it's Sister Jing's house! ”

Zhou Xian: "!! ”

Brother, that bastard, actually told this little girl about the trouble! He doesn't want to lose face!

"What's more, in my opinion, Sister Jing is much better than other women, a woman as powerful as Sister Jing, I haven't seen a second one except for A-Niang! Fifth brother, you obviously recognize Sister Jing's ability! You think I don't know? Although you always don't give Sister Jing a good look, you often secretly observe Sister Jing's actions, and recently you have been secretly reading medical books, and several times I have seen you hiding by the wall and peeking when Sister Jing was training those doctors! Steward Yuan cried with joy several times! ”

Zhou Xian: "!! ”

"It's not! How do you know so many things, little girl! ”

Zhou Wan glanced at him and said, "Although you are my fifth brother, the age difference between us is less than a year, but I don't know you from childhood to adulthood?" You obviously think that what Sister Jing said when she reprimanded you was right, why didn't you just say it honestly and ask Sister Jing to teach you? ”

Zhou Xian's face suddenly turned red, and he suddenly turned his face aside, muttering: "In this case, doesn't it seem that I am faceless?" I'm not bad either, as long as I work hard, who says I'm not as good as that woman? One day, I want my brother to admit that I am better than that woman! ”

Zhou Wan: "......"

I really don't want to admit that this guy is her brother.

It's really naïve to get home.

Being despised by his sister like this, Zhou Xian couldn't stand it, and quickly changed the topic: "The man you met today is reliable, right?" He told you about Feiyue Lake for no reason, and said that you can see swans there, how do you look like an ignorant little lady like you. ”

"Oh, fifth brother, you can rest assured, thanks to that Lang Jun's reminder today, my purse was not stolen by thieves, that Lang Jun is gentle, looking at his dress and conversation, you know that it is not the Lang Jun of ordinary people, such a Lang Jun is full of food and makes a special trip to deceive me into a little lady?"

Zhou Wan pursed her lips and said, "What's more, won't you go with me tomorrow?" With you watching, what are you afraid of? ”

Zhou Xian thought about it, it was indeed the case, and he couldn't say anything for a while.

"And," Zhou Wan couldn't help but be a little excited when he talked about Lang Jun who helped him today, and said: "When that Lang Jun picked up the purse that the thief dropped on the ground and handed it to me, he used his left hand, he is a left-hander, and it is the first time I have seen a left-handed person when I am so old!" It's so fresh! ”

Zhou Xian: "......"

This guy is embarrassed to say that he is naïve, and she herself is only half a catty!

The next day, as soon as Xu Jing got up and finished breakfast, Xiao Yi sent someone over, saying that the case had made significant progress and hoped to invite her to come over and discuss it together.

Xu Jing was a little surprised that news came so early, but considering that this case was named by the saint, the people from the Criminal Department should have stayed up late to investigate the case last night.

She cleaned up briefly and got into the carriage sent by Xiao Yi, but she didn't expect that the carriage went directly to the Criminal Department.

The people sent by Xiao Yi took Xu Jing directly to an office room that looked like Xiao Yi was in the criminal department, and saw that inside, in addition to Xiao Yi sitting behind the desk, there were two men who looked to be in their twenties and thirties.

Seeing Xu Jing, the two men looked stunned, but Xiao Yi just said lightly: "Xu Niangzi has a lot of experience in solving cases, and she was specially invited by me to help solve the case."

Xu Niangzi, please take a seat, these two are Langzhong from the Criminal Department, Shi Langzhong on the left, and Chen Langzhong on the right. ”

They were obviously Xiao Yi's direct subordinates, and when they heard Xiao Yi say this, they didn't ask too much, and immediately saluted Xu Jing respectfully.

Xu Jing didn't show it on his face, but he admired Xiao Yi a little in his heart, he seemed to be like this every time, and brought her to his colleagues openly.

He is really not afraid of any gossip to spread out, such as saying that he relies on women or something, after all, in this era, the world's prejudice against women is still very deep.

After Xiao Yi saw Xu Jing sit down, he said, "Last night, the people I sent out stayed up late to the merchant department, screened out all the caravan personnel who met the characteristics, and found that there were four suspects.

Each caravan departs and returns at different times. Among them, there are two caravans that will leave for the northwest in January and February every year, and return in July and August, and there are ten people in these two caravans who live in the northern border town of Xijing.

In connection with the body found yesterday, it can be judged that the murderer has left Xijing, and only one of the two caravans has been disbanded and left Xijing, so the range of suspects has been narrowed down to four people at once. ”

It turned out to be so smooth.

Xu Jing immediately asked, "When did the people of that caravan leave Xijing, and is it too late to catch up now?" ”

Xiao Yi said: "They were disbanded five days ago, and the people in the caravan should have left one after another in the past few days, but we heard that there was a person in the caravan who lived in Xijing, and this morning, I sent Shi Langzhong to the man's house to inquire about the situation. ”

After speaking, he looked at Shi Langzhong and said, "Go on." ”

Nashiro bowed and said, "Yes." The man, surnamed Jiang, lived in the southeast of Xijing, and he said that there were ten people in their caravan, and that the four people who lived in the town north of Xijing often went home together because they lived close to each other, and they had just left Xijing two days ago.

When his subordinates asked him if he knew any of these four people who would behave strangely in Xijing, such as often disappearing, or having some strange behaviors when leaving Xijing, he immediately said that there was a Lang Jun named He Qiusheng who was very similar to the characteristics mentioned by his subordinates, and whenever he came back to Xijing, he was always mysterious, and he didn't go to drink and have fun with them, and he often didn't know where to run alone.

Every time he left Xijing, he always had a sudden diarrhea, so that the people accompanying him had to stop and wait for him for a long time, so they all guessed that He Qiusheng was eating delicious food alone when he disappeared in Xijing, so he often ate his stomach badly. ”
