Soon, the carriage stopped in a quiet place, close to the west of the west, some distance from the most prosperous wharf, so there were only a few shops scattered here, and because it was close to the end of the year, those shops were already closed.

There is a small wharf by the river, such a wharf, there will be every distance in the small Dongjiang River, which is for some small boats to get on and drop off passengers or carry goods, and a staircase with a guardrail is also built on the riverside for people to step on the stairs to go down.

At this time, this small wharf was surrounded by people, in addition to the people of the Xijing Mansion, there were also many men and women dressed in rich clothes and heavy faces, most of these people Xu Jing had seen at the banquet he had attended before, they were all from the Jiang family.

At this time, these Jiang family members were all gathered around a clearing next to the small dock, and a desolate female voice was coming from the crowd, "Silly daughter, why are you so stupid!" A-Niang knows that you suffered a lot of blows in the last marriage, but that is all in the past! You are still young, and you are still the daughter of our Jiang family, what good family do you want to marry in the future? Even if you don't want to get married, Daddy and Auntie are willing to support you for a lifetime! You obviously promised A-Niang that you will try to live your life well and no longer think about those things in the past! How can you, how can you leave A-Niang like this! ”

Xu Jing got out of the carriage, and Yao Shaoyin walked up to her and sighed, "Jiang Sanniang's corpse...... Over there, as saw, she should have committed suicide by throwing herself into the river this morning.

Yesterday evening, Jiang Sanniang suddenly left the house alone without telling everyone, and the people of the Jiang family looked for her all night but did not find anyone. This morning at about seven o'clock, an empty carriage was found near here, and the carriage was ...... There was a suicide note and a cloak written by Jiang Sanniang, and the man sensed that something was wrong and immediately came to report the case, and it didn't take long for us and the Jiang family to fish out Jiang Sanniang's body from the river......"

Xu Jing frowned slightly, "Are you sure it's Jiang Sanniang's suicide note?" ”

Yao Shaoyin nodded, "The Jiang family has personally confirmed, the suicide note is not only exactly the same as Jiang Sanniang's, but even some small habits between the lines have been retained...... It is unlikely that there will be a fake. ”

If it was fake, how much effort would it have taken for that person to be so fake.

After all, handwriting is easy to imitate, but writing habits and feelings are not easy to imitate.

Xu Jing asked again: "What about the carriage?" But what are the clues? ”

Yao Shaoyin shook his head, "It's an ordinary carriage, because it's sparsely populated here, and we don't even know when that carriage came here."

But what is certain is that this carriage only came here this morning, and we asked the people who live in this neighborhood this morning, and found a few people who passed by this place last night, and one of them, Lang Jun, said that it was almost curfew when he went home, but he did not see such a carriage in the vicinity at that time.

During the curfew, it is unlikely that the carriage will come here, and it may only have come between five o'clock in the morning after the curfew is lifted and the hour when it is found. ”

After a pause, he added: "Moreover, because there is still snow on the ground from yesterday morning, there is a series of footprints on the snow that lead from the carriage to the river, and that footprint is Jiang Sanniang's after comparison."

Except for Jiang Sanniang's, there are no footprints leading to that pier by the river. ”

Even the footprints are Jiang Yanxia alone!

This sounds like Jiang Yanxia drove a carriage here by herself, and then committed suicide by jumping into the river.

Her brows couldn't help frowning even tighter, and she said, "You called me over to see if Jiang Sanniang's death was strange?" I want to see Jiang Sanniang's body first. ”

Yao Shaoyin immediately said: "Yes, I'll take Xu Niangzi over." ”

As he spoke, he led Xu Jing to the crowd not far away.

Jiang Shaobai was standing on the periphery of the crowd at this time, his face was dark and uncertain, Yao Shaoyin walked over first and saluted him, "Jiang Zhaoyin, Xu Niangzi is here, she said that she wants to see Jiang Sanniang's body." ”

Yao Shaoyin didn't deliberately lower his voice, as soon as he said this, the Jiang family not far away turned their heads to look at Xu Jing.

Led by a man in his forties, with a round face and thick eyebrows, and full of wealth, he looked at Xu Jing, a pair of slightly dull eyes moved slightly, and said in a deep voice: "Shaobai, this is Xu Niangzi?" ”

Jiang Shaobai turned to the man, with a hint of respect on his face, and said, "Yes, eldest brother, Xu Niangzi has a lot of experience in prison matters, and her deeds, eldest brother must have heard of it." It was I who invited to come over and see Yeonxia's death...... Is there something else going on? ”

It seems that that man is the current head of the Jiang family, Xing Guogong Jiang Shaoyan.

is Jiang Yanxia's biological father.

Xing Guogong looked at Xu Jing for a while, exhaled a long breath, took the initiative to step aside, and said, "I'm tired of Xu Niang, Ruoyan Xia...... If he was really killed by a gangster, our Jiang family must want to get justice for Yanxia. ”

Seeing this, the others also stepped aside, making a way for Xu Jing.

Xu Jing saw Jiang Yanxia lying on the ground clearly, but saw that she was only wearing a thin emerald green cardigan skirt, with her hands folded on her lower abdomen, if it weren't for her pale face and lifeless expression, it would really be as if she was just sleeping.

Next to her, a middle-aged woman in purple clothes was crying uncontrollably, and beside her, there was also a young man in a moonlight white narrow-sleeved robe, when Xu Jing walked over, the man slightly raised a pair of fox eyes with a bit of charm, and looked at her deeply.

It turned out to be Jiang Erlang, who had a few encounters with Xu Jing before-Jiang Yu.

Xu Jing doesn't have a good impression of this man with a quirky personality and nosy, but Jiang Yanxia is his sister-in-law, and now that such a tragedy happened in their family, Xu Jing also put aside her private feelings for the time being.

She walked over and squatted beside Jiang Yanxia, and the first thing she noticed was cyanosis of her lips and nails, and when she opened her eyelids, she could see a dotted hemorrhage on her eyelids and bulbar conjunctiva, which was a typical sign of suffocation.

And there was a small amount of mushroom-like foam between her mouth and nose, Xu Jing gently pressed Jiang Yanxia's chest and abdomen, and more mushroom-like foam immediately overflowed between her mouth and nose, and the mushroom-like foam was a large number of small, uniform white foam, which is an important feature that only people who drowned before death can have.

Seeing these mushroom-like foams, it is basically certain that Jiang Yanxia is indeed drowning.

Xu Jing's eyes were slightly gloomy, she opened her mouth, wrapped her index finger with a clean handkerchief and took it out, and when she took it out again, there was obvious mud and sand on the handkerchief, and it was mixed with some green algae.

Coupled with the obvious edema on her face, neck and limbs, as well as the goosebump-like skin on her body that was stimulated by cold water, Xu Jing finally pursed her lips and said, "Jiang Sanniang did drown in this river. ”

Based on the time of Jiang Yanxia's death, it is impossible for her to drown in another river and then be transferred.

When Duchess Xing Guo heard this, she couldn't help but cry again: "My son! Why are you so stupid! ”

Jiang Yu stared at Xu Jing tightly, and said in a dumb voice: "Lady XU, it is impossible for my sister to commit suicide, she is not such a fragile woman, a few days ago, she also told me that she misses the time when she was a child and played rice cakes with us, this time for the New Year, she wants the juniors in the family to try to beat rice cakes together."

I believe in the judgment of the, but the just said that my sister drowned in this river, but did not say that my sister committed suicide. ”

Xu Jing couldn't help but glance at him.

This guy's mind is also sharp.

But when she says this, it's actually more for the sake of rigor.

She stood up and said, "Indeed, only from the cause of death, it is impossible to tell whether Jiang Sanniang committed suicide or was killed by gangsters. Yao Shaoyin just said that there were some footprints left on the snow, and I want to go and see those footprints. ”
