Xu Jing, who was still a little confused, suddenly woke up, sat up with her arms in her arms, and her voice was still a little hoarse in the morning, "How long have they been here?" ”

Chunyang said: "As soon as they arrived, the slave maid saw that they seemed to be in a hurry, so they took it upon themselves to wake up the lady. ”

"What time is it?"

"It's past nine o'clock in the morning, Lang Jun said that it was very hard for the lady to travel during this time, so let the slave and maid sleep with the lady."

It's already time.

Xu Jing subconsciously turned her head to look at the bed next to her, and saw that it was empty, not only the big one was gone, but the small one was also gone.

couldn't help blinking, "What about Xiao Langjun?" ”

She was used to Xiao Yat getting up earlier than her, and when she opened her eyes and saw that Xiao Yat was still sleeping next to her, she was surprised.

"Xiao Langjun got up almost at the same time as Lang Jun, Lang Jun was worried that Xiao Langjun would make a noise to Mrs. if he stayed here, so he asked the slaves and maids to change Xiao Langjun's clothes, and then took him out."

Chunyang said, suddenly pursed his lips and smiled, and said: "Madame didn't see Xiao Langjun following behind Lang Jun, just like a little heel worm, so cute, Lang Jun didn't take a few steps, seeing that Xiao Langjun was struggling to follow, he turned around and hugged him directly."

Later, Lang Jun and Xiao Langjun had breakfast together, and then went to work, and Xiao Langjun went back to his yard to do the homework left by the master. ”

Xu Jing imagined this picture for a while, her eyes couldn't help but be slightly soft, but she thought that she was going to help the Xijing Mansion investigate the case, and she didn't know how long it would take, but she was afraid that the time to make a birthday cake for the little guy would be gone, so she couldn't help but sigh secretly, and said while getting out of bed: "Help me prepare things for washing, and by the way, call Qiushui in, and let Chu Ju go and talk to the people from Xijing Mansion, wait for me for about two quarters of an hour." ”

Chunyang answered, turned around and left the room.

Soon, Qiushui walked in, but saw that Madame was not in the room, but in the study on the right side of the small hall wearing a coat, and was spreading out a blank piece of paper with something written on it, so he walked in and saluted: "Madam." ”

Xu Jing nodded, didn't speak, racking her brains to think about the steps when she was pulled by her friend to make the cake before.

Although she is not good at cooking, she has a good memory, and although her friend was the main cake maker at the beginning, she was the one who reminded her of the steps, so it is not difficult for her to recall those steps until now.

The only difficulty is that there was no oven in ancient times, and it was too late to make one temporarily, Xu Jing simply changed the baked cake to a steamed cake, although it didn't taste so fragrant, but it was healthier, not to mention that she believed in the craftsmanship of autumn water, and there was nothing bad to make through autumn water!

After writing, Xu Jing handed the piece of paper to Qiushui, and said helplessly: "I originally wanted to study with you today, and make a cake for Changxiao to celebrate his birthday, but I have something to go out for a while, and this matter can only be handed over to you alone, I wrote the cooking steps of the cake on the paper in as much detail as possible, you see if you can make it, I will also rush back as soon as possible, if you have something that you don't know well, you can always send the guards in the house to ask me." ”

Qiushui was stunned, took the piece of paper and glanced at it, when she saw this never-before-seen fresh food, the spirit of challenge in her heart suddenly ignited, and she quickly nodded vigorously and said: "Madame, don't worry, the slave will definitely try to make this thing called cake!" ”

Madame always had all sorts of new ideas coming up, and to be honest, she was used to it, and she often expected Madame to come up with ideas that she had never heard of.

After all, every time Madame comes up with novel food, it is indeed delicious!

After Xu Jing explained some things to Shen Niang and them, she hurried to the front hall.

As she expected, it was Yao Shaoyin who came to find her, and when she went to the front hall, Yao Shaoyin was walking around there, his face was covered with dark clouds, and he looked very restless.

From Yao Shaoyin's appearance, you can know that this is indeed an unusual case.

Xu Jing's eyes were slightly dark, and he said, "I've been bothering Yao Shaoyin for a long time." ”

When Yao Shaoyin saw her, he hurriedly greeted her, and said with a look of surprise: "...... cough, it's time to call you Mrs. Xu, I'm really sorry, you just returned to Xijing yesterday, we came to ask you for help early this morning, I'm afraid Mrs. Xu hasn't rested enough. ”

Both ladies and ladies can be used to address married women, but the common people often use the title of Niangzi, and unmarried married young women are uniformly called Niangzi.

And the lady, generally the woman herself is noble and prominent, or the husband she married has a certain status and power, and the woman can be called the lady.

To be honest, Xu Jing is more accustomed to being called a by others than the title of Mrs. who seems to be separated from others.

She smiled lightly and said, "Yao Shaoyin still calls me a, I'm used to listening to it, and we don't have to be so restrained." Since the saint has made me an external staff officer of the Xijing Mansion, the affairs of the Xijing Mansion are also my business, and I should help. ”

Yao Shaoyin immediately said very happily: "Working with is just comfortable." This case is very important, without further ado, I also asked Xu Niangzi to come with me, Jiang Zhaoyin was already waiting at the scene of the crime. ”

Xu Jing couldn't help asking: "Aren't the major cases that usually occur in Xijing City taken over by Dali Temple?" ”

Yao Shaoyin's face suddenly became a little weird, and he sighed secretly, and said: "A major case of a bad nature is only within the jurisdiction of Dali Temple, and our case actually looks like an ordinary suicide case. ”

After a pause, Yao Shaoyin said: "That person, Xu Niangzi should also know, the woman who committed suicide is the third mother of the Jiang family, Jiang Yanxia, that is, ...... The ex-wife of Xin Lei, the second murderer in the previous Smile Killer case. ”

Xu Jing was slightly stunned, and a beautiful and gentle face immediately appeared in front of her.

Jiang Sanniang...... Committed suicide!

After Xin Lei was arrested, she returned to Jiang's house with him, and it has been almost half a year.

Could it be that it's been so long, and she hasn't come out of that incident yet?

Because it involved someone she knew, Xu Jing couldn't help but feel a little heavy on the way to the scene of the crime.

Yao Shaoyin took her all the way to a river in the north of Xijing, the river is called the Xiaodong River, which is a tributary extending from the Nu River, because the Xiaodong River is very busy every day, and even the two sides of the Xiaodong River are full of all kinds of shops, but now it is winter, it is the off-season of Caoyun, and because it is almost the end of the year, both sides of the Xiaodong River are not as lively as in the peak season, and even seem a little deserted.

Because she was in a hurry, Yao Shaoyin didn't tell her much about the details of the case, but the moment she saw Xiao Dongjiang, Xu Jing had an idea in her heart-

Jiang Sanniang, I'm afraid that she committed suicide by throwing herself into the river.

But if it was really just a simple suicide, Yao Shaoyin and the others didn't need to rush to her over.

This case must have some hidden secrets.
