Xiao Yi sat down in his seat again and said, "Say." ”

Chen Langzhong responded, and said: "At the beginning, the subordinates found a few fruit sellers to inquire about the situation, they didn't know what kind of fruit this was, and the subordinates thought, this may not be an ordinary fruit pit, so the average small trader didn't know, and then the subordinates had an idea, and found a familiar imperial chef to ask, he immediately said with certainty that this is the core of the lychee, every year in May and June, there will be a southern state town to the palace to worship lychee, and the people in their imperial dining room have no less lychees to cook, so they know very well what the lychee core looks like. ”

Sure enough, it's the pit of the lychee!

Xu Jing frowned slightly, and asked, "Did that imperial chef say that in addition to the palace, where else can you find lychees in Xijing?" ”

Chen Langzhong said: "The average family should have it, and after receiving the lychee in the palace every year, it will take out a part of the reward to the courtiers favored by the saint or the person who received the reward during that time, and the mothers in the palace will also get the corresponding weight according to the grade, and many mothers will send the lychees back to their parents' homes after they get the lychees."

In addition, there are some caravans that specialize in taking the southern route to transport lychees back to sell, but because lychees are fresh fruits, the requirements for transportation are very high, not only to keep them warm, but also to send them back to Xijing as soon as possible, so the price is often very high. ”

Xu Jing concluded: "That is to say, ordinary people generally do not have access to this fruit, and He Qiusheng, who has been taking the northwest route, is unlikely to have the opportunity to come into contact with it, and the lychee kernel in the murderer's stomach can only come from the second murderer!"

And the second murderer is likely to have a prominent background! ”

Chen Langzhong was stunned for a moment, and said: "It may also be that the people of the caravan who specialize in taking the southern route, after all, they are all caravan people, and it is normal to have contact......

"I don't think so."

Xu Jing said lightly: "Fang Cai Langzhong said that when He Qiu was born in the fourth year of Tianxi, he didn't want to go back to Xijing, but then there was a person in Xijing who looked very noble, so he was willing to go back." That person is likely to be the second murderer, if he is from the caravan, it would be a little wrong to describe it as Sven's extravagance?

What's more, it is not May and June when lychees are abundant now, and the lychees that are still there must have been left at that time and kept in the ice cellar, and ordinary people rarely have ice cellars at home. ”

Chen Langzhong listened with admiration.

Indeed it is!

This lady's brain is spinning so fast!

Xiao Yi, who had not spoken all the time, saw this, and said in a slightly deep voice: "In this case, let's focus on checking the families of those who have received lychees from the palace this year, and all things sent out from the palace must be reported to the Internal Affairs Office, and ask the Internal Affairs Office if the list will be made soon, and in addition, we must also check who has bought lychees from the caravan this year." ”

Chen Langzhong immediately saluted and said, "Yes!" ”

After saying that, he also turned around and left in a hurry.

Xu Jing couldn't help but glance at Xiao Yi.

There will be contacts between the big families in Xijing, and if the second murderer is really not ordinary, he may also be Xiao Yi's acquaintance.

When I first started investigating, who would have thought that the Smile Killer case would be so widespread.

Xiao Yi sat motionless, as if in deep thought, and suddenly, he turned to Xu Jing and said in a low voice: "The result didn't come out so soon, does Xu Niangzi have to go home first?" When there is a result, I will send someone to talk to the. ”

Xu Jing was slightly stunned, nodded and said, "It's okay." ”

When she left the Criminal Department, it was Xiao Yi who sent her.

Along the way, Xiao Yi didn't speak, just when Xu Jing thought that Xiao Yi was going to send her out so quietly, when she was close to the entrance of the criminal department, the man next to her spoke, "How did Xu Niang think about it?" ”

Xu Jing was stunned, turned her head and glanced at him with some confusion.

Xiao Yi coughed lightly and said, "Didn't I tell you yesterday morning that during the Mid-Autumn Festival, I hope you can spend it with me and Changxiao." ”

Ah, I mean think about this.

Xu Jing was a little weak-hearted, to be honest, in the past two days, she had been thinking about the case and had forgotten about it at all.

However, there are still four days to go until the Mid-Autumn Festival, and she doesn't want to think about it for too long, so she delays Xiao Yi's own plan in vain.

Suddenly, she thought of something and asked, "During the Mid-Autumn Festival, don't you have to participate in any banquets?" ”

Xiao Yi raised his eyebrows slightly and said, "During the Mid-Autumn Festival, palace banquets are generally held in the palace, and officials above the third rank and their families will be invited to participate in the palace banquet. I...... There is no lady, and the long smile is too small, because I go to the palace banquet alone every year. ”

Xu Jing frowned, "You go to the palace banquet and laugh, what should I do?" ”

Sure enough, as she expected, she smiled distressedly for the first time. Xiao Yi smiled helplessly and said, "The palace banquet usually ends at about seven o'clock in the evening, and I always go back to accompany the long laugh after that." ”

But because the family is full of big men, even the holidays are often deserted.

Xu Jing almost couldn't help but ask, didn't he have to go back to spend the holiday with his family? In the end, I held back.

After this period of understanding, anyone with a discerning eye can see that there must be some conflict between Xiao Yi and his family.

This kind of private matter, she is not an outsider to ask casually.

She quickly made up her mind and said, "Okay, I'll celebrate the holiday with you." ”

She was mainly distressed and smiled, although Xiao Yi would go home after the banquet, but before that, he didn't know how to live a little doll.

Xiao Yi was slightly stunned, thinking for a moment that he had misheard, and after relieving himself, he turned his head slightly, his dark eyes unconsciously softened, and he looked at the woman in front of him and said softly: "Okay." ”

Xu Jing looked at this man's rare expression that could be called gentle, and was inexplicably a little uncomfortable, and walked out of the door of the criminal department with faster steps, and said, "Then I'll go back first." ”

However, as soon as he returned to Zhou's house, the coachman said in a deep voice: "Xu Niangzi, Wu Sanlang from the Marquis of Wushun's Mansion, I just sent someone to follow you again." ”

Xu Jing's face was slightly gloomy.

The guy is here again?

How long has it been since she last shocked him? He wouldn't have turned the corner so quickly, would he?

What did he want to do to her next? Continue to harass her? Or is it looking for an opportunity to retaliate against her?

Xu Jing sighed secretly and said, "Ignore him first." ”

She can't do anything until she finds out what the other party wants to do.

Since he was unwilling to let her go, he would appear in front of her sooner or later.

When the time comes, take another step, just take a step.

Now she is not so easy for him to bully.

After speaking, he got out of the carriage and walked into Zhou's house.

During this time, Xu Jing was busy with training, but also busy making the comfrey paste booked by Mrs. Cen.

Now that Chunyang and Chunxiang are here, they can also help her make medicine together, and she is a little easier.

In the afternoon, Chunxiang couldn't help but sigh while concocting medicinal materials: "This medicine is too fine, since different medicines are used in different seasons, no wonder the pharmacy's business is always endless!" ”
