Beloved at the Door - Chapter 19

For the Shangguan family, it is the Buddha’s blessing that her daughter can be released from prison. Although she is worried about her safety, it is better to follow the imperial adult instead of going to jail.

The secret meeting did not end until late this night. Shangguan Yan stayed in his mother’s yard specially, and the mother and daughter talked overnight, and they were very close.

The next morning, Shangguan Yan went out of the house quietly, returned to her own house, put on a tight-sleeved shirt and a saber around her waist, and continued with a disguised face, and reported to the government office as agreed.

As an undercover arrester, she now became an undercover arrester, acting as a errand by Di Jing’s side.

On the first day, the female security guard who took her to the errand office led her to the errand office. There were six people in the errand office, and she was the seventh. Everyone had their own table and seats, and files were piled on each of them. Before the few cases prepared for her, the files above were piled up higher, Di Jing asked her to read them all.

She stared at the pile of files hell, wondering if this person used her as a master? She thought she would at best run errands and do errands.

She couldn’t help whispering in her heart, slandering Di Jing, but she whispered back to her, she immediately sat down and began to read. She was in charge of the store business, and she often reviewed the account books on weekdays. In addition, she often checked the case and reviewed these dense files. Can’t trouble her.

In addition to the narrative of the incident, there are also testimonies and transcripts of the interrogation of relevant witnesses, indicating the relationship, location, and time of the characters. It is not a day or two to read these files.

Once Shangguan Yan started to look carefully, he would enter a state of restless sleep. When it was time to eat, he hurriedly went to the big canteen to get the steamed buns, put all the vegetables and meat into the steamed buns, and then hurriedly returned to his case and sat down. Reading.

Every day, people report Shangguan Yan’s every move to Di Jing.

“How did she perform these three days?”

“My lord, Shangguan has been reading the dossier for the past three days. Except for meals, I have been reading carefully from morning to evening. Sometimes I stop to think, and after thinking, I continue to read. Every day, she has been reading the dossier. The first one to take care of the work room, and the last one to leave.”

Di Jing nodded. “Understood, go on.”

After the reporting subordinates left, Di Jing sat in front of the case, tapping his index finger on the desk.

The first task he gave her was to read those files. After three days in a row, the subordinates reported almost the same content. Once she started a case, she was very focused, which made him laugh. This girl really doesn’t sleep. Constantly, it was right to find her.

It was already dinner time. After a while, an official came to ask Di Jing to have a meal?

Di Jing thought for a while and ordered. “Dinner.”

“Yes.”

“Wait.” He called the waiter back. “Prepare two sets of tableware.”

“Yes.”

When he came to the office, Shangguan Yan was sitting at the desk and resting. He stepped forward slowly, and the officer on the side was about to wake her up, but Di Jing raised his hand to stop her, and waved to signal the officer to leave.

The officer closed his mouth and stepped back silently. He stepped forward and saw that the files on the case table had been divided into two piles. After looking at it for a while, he understood that she had seen one pile and the other had not been read yet. There are a lot of papers on the dossier I have read, with a mark on the top, and some things are drawn on the book on the side, and words are marked on the top.

He sat down quietly and flipped through the book in his hand without making a sound.

When Shangguan Yan woke up, he found that the room had been lit and the sky was dark. She used her mind a lot, and was sleepy for a while, and then she wanted to say that she was resting on the desk for a while, but she fell asleep accidentally. She raised her head, yawned, and then stared at Di Jing who was sitting opposite. , Saw that he was reading with a book in his hand, and that book was exactly what she had written in the past three days and notes.

She blinked and stared at him. This person seems to have been sitting here for a while?

Di Jing raised his eyes to look at her. “Woke up?”

“Well, I woke up.” Didn’t he come to catch her for being lazy?

“Come over for dinner when you wake up.” He stood up, didn’t say much, turned and left, and took the book away without returning her.

Shangguan Yan wanted to say that it was hers, but in the end he closed his mouth and said nothing.

Well, he has a high rank. Since he wanted to see it, he had to leave it to him. She happened to be hungry, so she got up and went out of the room to go to the dining hall.

“Where to go?” He turned around and called her.

She stopped and pointed in the direction of the canteen. “Go and eat.”

“Come here with rice and come with me.” After he finished speaking, he continued to walk, Shangguan Yan looked puzzled, but still followed.

It wasn’t until Di Jing walked into Di Jing’s study to see that there were four dishes and one soup on the table, as well as two sets of chopsticks, that she realized that he was asking her to eat together.

Shangguan Yan also sat down politely. She would behave respectfully in front of others, and her attitude towards him was very casual when there was no one.

Just like when she was at the Qin’s house, although she was his maid, she was a bit like a friend when she talked to him in private, and Di Jing didn’t have any opinions. It seemed that there was already a tacit understanding between the two.

Seeing the dishes on the table, she moved her index finger and found that she was really hungry. Although she was not picky about food on weekdays, she inevitably ate a few more bowls of dishes that she liked, not to mention the four on the table. She likes all dishes and soup.

Di Jing glanced at her and saw that she was not polite with him when she was eating, and the corners of her lips were slightly raised.

When she was in the office just now, when she was asleep at the desk, he took the opportunity to look at her desk and found that she sorted the files into categories, picked out the important ones, and sorted out the key points in the book. He was surprised at her. Her thoughts are well-organized, and she can’t help but look at her abilities even more.

After eating, he saw that she was full, so he ordered the meal to be taken down and served tea for digestion.

“What’s the experience?”

The question was endless, but Shangguan Yan understood what he meant. He asked about those files.

“Those cases seem to be impossible to fight, but they all have one thing in common. Those who pleaded guilty still had many doubts, but the case was closed.”

He nodded. “anything else?”

“The key people are dead. Those who don’t die are either crazy or paralyzed. Once the case is over, there will be no further investigation.”

Di Jing has praise in her eyes. She seems to be careless about many things, but once a case is opened, she is not sloppy. She has noticed everything that should be paid attention to, and she is still observant of what others have not noticed, and will not let go of anything. Clues.

“The closing of the case is for people to see, and it is not impossible to conduct a thorough investigation in private.”

There was a bright flash in her eyes, she smelled something in his words, and raised her eyebrows to look at him. “I want to go to the top?”

“You have to have evidence.”

She nodded. “Understood, but it will take a lot of effort and more manpower is needed.”

He likes to talk to her. She is very smart. She doesn’t have to spend any time explaining. Some things are easy to understand. They know each other well, save a lot of trouble and ease. Every time he talks with her, he will show her expression and reaction. In mind.

When it comes to the case, her eyes are very smart and bright, and she did not alienate him because he is a superior, but has an unruly casual spirit like a friend, which makes him happy, and the corners of her lips rise unconsciously.

In order to get along with her more, whenever the topic is about to end, he throws out the next topic.

If you say this too much, you will get thirsty easily. He asked her to prepare water for her. After she drank a glass, he would fill her naturally, but in order not to be too obvious, he would add his own first and then help her. .

The time spent with her always passed very fast, and he didn’t realize that the curfew was approaching until there was a call from outside.

“It’s late, and the humble job doesn’t delay the adults’ rest. It’s time to go back.”

Di Jing nodded, and when she stood up, he deliberately said casually: “If you are extremely tired, if there is room available, you can stay overnight.”

“No, there is no time to go back before the curfew in a hurry. The humble post will retire first.”

He nodded and didn’t hold back. After she left, his deep gaze kept locked her back, until no one was visible, he still didn’t take his gaze back.

The next day, Shangguan Yan did not show up, but instead sent someone to ask for leave. Di Jing frowned when he heard the news.

“sick?”

“The second young master of Shangguan’s family came to apply for leave in person, saying that Shangguan caught a high fever this morning and couldn’t get up.”

Di Jing nodded. “Understood, go on.”

“Yes.” Di Jing couldn’t help but fall into contemplation when the informing officer exited the study.

Is she sick? Is it cold? Or did he give her too much official duties?

Thinking that he had detained her for ten days before, and then immediately asked her to work, could it be that he was exhausted and sick?

If he knew it would make her sick, he wouldn’t do it.

On the surface, Di Jing continued to look at the document, but actually couldn’t concentrate. He just heard that she was ill, and he was troubled. He didn’t see her for a day, but he was very worried.

He wanted to visit her, but couldn’t find a suitable reason. There were a lot of servants by his side. It’s a trivial matter to get sick and take leave. He didn’t have an example of visiting her personally. As an adult, he wanted to care for someone specially. Quickly catching a small catch, it seems unreasonable.

Finally put her by his side. The time is not yet ripe. If she seems too enthusiastic at this time, what if she is scared off, then avoid him? What’s more, she still has an oral engagement.

He could see that her heart was still not on him, the eyes when she looked at herself didn’t have too much emotion, and before he was sure of it, he would never show up, so he had to think about it step by step.
