I Wish to Ride the Wind - Chapter 24
Shen Jiajia rinsed the food container with a bowl of water, and then Li Si caught a mouse and put it into the water. Sure enough, the mouse died after a while.
Shen Chukuai sighed: “The murderer has foresight and vicious methods. I’m afraid he has deep grievances with Mrs. Yang.”
Li Si nodded in agreement with this judgment, and added: “However, he decided to kill now, presumably something important happened.”
The three of them looked at each other and felt that the investigation had to start with the person Madam Yang had offended recently, but the scope had to be expanded to the entire Zhou Mansion.
That Mrs. Yang has an easy-going temperament, but she likes to deduct money from the people below her. After two days of careful investigation, they found that Mrs. Yang had deducted a lot of money from the servants over time. Looking at this, there are five Six people can barely have a motive for murder.
Furthermore, recently, the family’s daughter-in-law seems to be dissatisfied with the choice of husband-in-law, and she has quarreled with Mrs. Yang in the past.
In addition, because Zhou Xiaolang is not very motivated and spends money like water, Mrs. Yang has also scolded him several times for this…
As usual, Shen Zhukuai would not count his children as suspects, but the case of Qian Da’s father murder just happened just now, which is inevitably reminiscent of people. Now look left and right to see that everyone wants to be a murderer.
Difficult!
When the governor asked about the matter again, several people reported the progress of the case. After listening to the governor, he knew that the biggest problem in this case was that no evidence could be found. Even if there is a suspect, it is not easy to convict without evidence.
The governor pondered for a while and asked Shen Jiajia, “Shen Sanniang, who do you think the murderer will be?”
Just as Shen Jiajia was about to speak, she suddenly felt that it would not work. She had heard of the methods of torture in the yamen to extract confessions. After all, this is the way to go when there is no evidence. But in this way, if the person she suspects is innocent, wouldn’t she have to suffer in vain?
So she shook her head and said, “I need to think again.”
The governor nodded and looked at her. He always felt that something was wrong with Shen Sanniang today. He recalled it carefully, and then suddenly realized: Oh, today, her shoulders are empty, and there is no parrot standing.
“Why didn’t I see you bring that bird today?”
“It went to play.”
In fact, Xie Chengfeng went to Zhoufu to listen to the corner.
He grew up in Zhou Mansion almost every day, told Shen Jiajia everything he had heard, and then the two discussed in whispers together.
Zhou Fu didn’t care about eating or drinking, Xie Chengfeng had to go back to Shen’s house when he was hungry, and it wasn’t far to his left or right. The Shen family is extremely safe now, because his mother has sent a few people to watch him secretly.
In the evening, Xie Chengfeng felt hungry and flew back. Entering the yard, he heard what seemed to be someone talking in the house, so he looked at the window.
It turned out that Shen Jiajia’s aunt heard that Mrs. Zhu Er was detained by the government office, so she came to visit the situation. As soon as I found out that Shen Jiajia was hanging out in the yamen again, I felt it was inappropriate and taught a few words with a stern face.
Shen Jiajia thought that she was a relative and an elder, so she didn’t refute, she just hoped to get rid of her quickly.
Unexpectedly, when my aunt saw her soft attitude, she just thought she could hold her, and threatened her even more: “If you continue like this, you can’t be our Xu family wife.”
Shen Jiajia ran out of patience, and when she looked up, she saw Xie Chengfeng standing by the window, she pointed at the parrot and sneered at her aunt: “You think too much, see, that’s my husband.”
The aunt’s hands trembled with anger, “Why don’t you know what’s wrong with you little hoof! You don’t know the rules! Shameless!”
Xie Chengfeng took out the skills he had learned from the streets and alleys these days, and said, “You will never die.”
The aunt was furious: “What did you say? You little beast?!”
“Immortal.”
“Look I don’t break your mouth!”
“Immortal.”
“Ah ah ah ah ah!”
“Immortal.”
The aunt found that she could not gain the upper hand in a fight with a bird, and got angry.
Shen Jiajia sat on the chair and held her forehead with a wry smile, “Thank you.”
Without hearing Chengfeng’s answer, Shen Jiajia looked up at him strangely and found that he was staring straight at her.
Shen Jiajia thought that she was just talking nonsense just to show off her tongue, and there was actually a man living in this bird’s body, she was quite embarrassed for a while, shook her head and said, “I just wanted to anger her, you… don’t take it to heart. “
“It’s too late,” Xie Chengfeng said, “I have already taken it to heart.”
