Chapter 330: Not a Simple Murder Case (2nd Update)
Xu Jing was silent for a moment and said, "Even if you figure it out, the pain in your heart will not be reduced at all." ”
Zhou bit his lip and said, "Mrs. Xu is also a mother, so she can naturally understand Yan Xia's mood. After beating the child, Yanxia was even more depressed than when she first returned to the Jiang family, and she didn't say a word at the end of the day, during that time, the family was very worried about Yanxia, and tried their best to make Yanxia happy.
Mother even sent all the maids around her to Yanxia's side, just for fear of ...... I'm afraid that Yanxia won't be able to think about it for a while, looking for a short-term ......"
Xu Jing's eyes turned slightly.
In this way, the Jiang family also felt that Jiang Sanniang might commit suicide.
She remembered Jiang Yu's words and asked, "But, didn't Jiang Erlang say that he didn't think Jiang Sanniang would commit suicide?" ”
Zhou sighed lightly and said: "Although Erlang's mind is not as delicate as ours women, he is also very concerned about his sister, what he said is not wrong, although Yanxia was very depressed at first, but in the past two months, she has gradually become cheerful, and she is willing to go out of the house, although we are very happy, but we are still a little worried in our hearts, I am afraid that Yanxia just doesn't want us to worry, and force a smile."
After all, according to Jingyi, when Yanxia is alone at night, she occasionally secretly cries. ”
Xu Jing remembered that Jingyi was a maid beside Jiang Sanniang.
Xu Jing looked at her and asked, "What does Mrs. Zhou think is it that Jiang Sanniang will commit suicide?" ”
Zhou Shi was silent and shook his head slightly, "I don't know, after all, it hasn't been half a year since that incident happened, and I don't think anyone will believe that Yanxia can completely come out in such a short time." ”
Truly.
Xu Jing asked again: "Yao Shaoyin said that Jiang Sanniang secretly left the house alone last night, has she done something similar before?" ”
Zhou shook his head again and said: "No, Yanxia is a very polite lady, and she does very little things that are out of line on weekdays, let alone sneaking out of the house, but whether she did this kind of thing when she was a girl, I don't know very well, if Mrs. Xu wants to know, you can ask Erlang." ”
Xu Jing couldn't help but think deeply.
The fact that the Zhou family can come out and talk to her about these things on behalf of the Jiang family must have formed a consensus among the Jiang family.
From this point of view, the Jiang family also felt that Jiang Sanniang might commit suicide, but they didn't want to believe this fact, so they wanted to investigate it thoroughly.
Xu Jing asked again: "Jiang Sanniang's side, what enemies are there, or people who may kill her?" ”
If she had been killed, there must have been some reason why the murderer would have gone to such great lengths to kill her.
This question obviously made the Zhou family a little embarrassed, she thought for a long time, and then said: "To be honest, since I married into the Jiang family, I have seen Yanxia has always been a self-denying, demure and gentle lady, although she is the concubine of the Jiang family's big house, but she has never had any severance, and she treats the people around her very well, I really can't think of any enemies Yanxia will have."
The only one who has a grudge against Yanxia may be the group of villains of the Xin family, when Xin Lei was imprisoned, the rest of the Xin family was implicated and were all reduced to commoners, they once begged Yanxia to let the Jiang family help them, Yanxia refused, and they ...... said some very ugly things to Yanxia, it is said that Xin Lei's mother was particularly vicious, and she was about to scratch Hua Yanxia's face on the spot, but fortunately Erlang and they arrived in time.
But the group of villains of the Xin family have now left the capital. ”
Xu Jing nodded and said, "I understand, if I have any questions later, I'll ask Mrs. Zhou again." ”
After speaking, he and Zhou walked back to the crowd.
Suddenly, there was a soft squeak in Xu Jing's ears, she was slightly stunned, and lowered her head, only to find that she had accidentally stepped on a branch the thickness of a bamboo stick.
The branch was so thin that she had trampled it off.
She looked at the branch lying on her footprints in a daze, and suddenly there was a flash of lightning in her mind.
That's right, footprints!
She remembered that her height and weight were about the same as Jiang Sanniang's, so to speak, the depth of her footprints on the snow should be about the same as Jiang Sanniang's!
However, she looked at her footprints at this time, and then recalled the footprints of Jiang Sanniang she had just seen, Jiang Sanniang's footprints seemed to be deeper than hers!
She hurriedly quickened her pace, walked back to Jiang Sanniang's footprints, walked in directly, and stepped on one of her own footprints next to one of the footprints.
With such a direct contrast, the difference between the two footprints is even more obvious.
Jiang Sanniang's footprints are indeed deeper than hers!
Xu Jing looked forward again, and saw that in one of Jiang Sanniang's footprints not far away, there was a broken branch that had been trampled on.
The branch was about the thickness of a man's middle finger, Xu Jing stepped forward to pick up one of them, found a branch about the same thickness as it was next to it, and tried to put it under his feet.
The branch was broken, but not completely broken.
Xu Jing's eyes couldn't help but darken.
Everyone looked at her actions in amazement, and Yao Shaoyin couldn't help but speak: ", what are you doing?" ”
Xu Jing stood up straight, turned to look at them, took a light breath, and said, "Jiang Sanniang...... It was indeed killed, and the murderer was probably a woman, or a relatively thin and short man. ”
Seeing that everyone was shocked, Xu Jing walked back to the two footprints side by side with Jiang Sanniang, pointed to the two footprints and said: "I am about the same height and weight as Jiang Sanniang, but the footprints left by Jiang Sanniang are obviously deeper than mine, and the owner of the footprints accidentally stepped on a branch when he walked to the riverside.
This shows that ......"
Xu Jing paused, and saw that the faces of many people not far away had sunk, and she knew that they understood what she meant, and said, "That footprint is probably not left by one person, but by two people." This morning, someone put on Jiang Sanniang's shoes, carried her on her back or carried her to the river, and then threw Jiang Sanniang into the river......"
Although the footprints were a little deeper than hers, they were not much deeper, and they looked similar to the footprints left by the tall and strong officials next to them, so when Xu Jing first saw those footprints, she didn't notice the depth of the problem.
This shows that if her guess is true, the combined weight of those two people should be about the same as that of those larger officials.
If Fang Zhutou was here, he would definitely have noticed this earlier.
Everyone in the Jiang family was surprised and angry, and Zhou took a deep breath and said, "But, in this case, how did the murderer leave......
"Swimming."
Jiang Yu, who was standing next to Xu Jing, had a calm face and said word by word: "He and Sister Ah jumped into the river at the same time, and then left Sister Ah and swam away."
I'm afraid that the shoe that fell by the river was also deliberate, just to mislead us. ”
This can explain why this murderer can leave no trace at all!
Everyone couldn't help but gasp.
Swim away in this weather, this murderer is also a ruthless person!
Jiang Yu, who stays in the barracks all year round, doesn't think there is anything wrong with this, after all, winter swimming is also a relatively common sport, and many soldiers in the army have the habit of winter swimming.
"That'...... Who the hell killed the third sister! ”
The little lady of the Jiang family who refuted Jiang Yu at the beginning suddenly gritted her teeth with red eyes and said, "It won't be...... Could it be that the villains of the Xin family secretly returned to the capital and killed the third sister to vent their anger! ”
Yao Shaoyin immediately glanced at her and said, "I heard earlier that when Jiang Sanniang left the Xin family, she had a very unpleasant quarrel with the people of the Xin family, please ask the Jiang family to tell us about the specific situation, in addition to these, we have some questions to ask later." ”
Since this is a homicide, the situation is completely different.
At this time, Xing Guogong took a step forward, and said in a cold voice: "Our Jiang family will definitely fully cooperate with the Xijing Mansion, and I also hope that the Xijing Mansion will catch the murderer as soon as possible, so that my daughter can be at peace under Jiuquan." ”
Hearing that her daughter was killed, Duchess Xing Guo, who was already emotionally unstable, stumbled and almost fell to the ground.
Yao Shaoyin nodded solemnly, "Please rest assured Xing Guogong." ”
The corners of Xu Jing's mouth twitched slightly, recalling the funeral she saw on the way back to Xijing yesterday.
I'm afraid that this is not as simple as a simple murder case.
