I Wish to Ride the Wind - Chapter 25

Shen Jiajia ignored Xie Chengfeng for a while. Xie Chengfeng was eating melon seeds and drinking water alone, and felt a little uncomfortable. Seeing that Shen Jiajia had been ignoring him, he asked, “You don’t want to know what I heard today?”

Shen Jiajia turned to look at him, “Ah, what?”

Xie Chengfeng poured out what he saw and heard. It was nothing more than a quarrel between the maids and the quarrel between the servants. After hearing it, Shen Jiajia seemed to have a bunch of twine in his head, thanks to Xie Chengfeng’s memory being so good.

Shen Jiajia sighed.

Xie Chengfeng was a little disappointed: “It’s useless? I’ll try it in the evening.”

Shen Jiajia shook his head and said, “Although it’s quiet at night, it’s easy for people to relax their vigilance. But this murderer is very thoughtful, so he probably won’t show any words. Don’t go, it’s so dark, be careful to get lost.”

Xie Chengfeng made a “uh” sound, and his heart was a little warm.

At dinner, Shen Jiajia made hoto, and Shen Jukuai ate it rudely, chatting with his daughter about the case while eating. Depending on what Fu Jun means, if there is no more eyes on this case after two days, Fu Jun may arrest all the suspects and torture them.

Shen Jiajia frowned and shook her head, disapproving. It’s a pity that someone who is an official and a slaughterer manages the people, and it is not something that a little girl can intervene.

After dinner, Shen Jiajia sat in front of the lamp in a daze, always feeling that there was a detail in this case that she hadn’t caught.

Xie Chengfeng jumped in front of him and said, “I think it’s better to send someone to search the Zhou Mansion upside down, and maybe they’ll be able to find the poison.”

Shen Jiajia shook his head and said, “The Zhou Mansion is so big, it would be difficult for the murderer to find the poison in any crevice. Besides, he may have thrown the medicine away.”

Xie Chengfeng disagreed: “Naive.”

“Oh?”

“I’ve seen the world, and I’ve never heard of this kind of poison, which shows that this medicine is extremely rare. Since the murderer is a ruthless person, most of them are reluctant to throw away this high-quality product that kills people.”

Shen Jiajia stared at him, her eyes getting brighter and brighter.

Her expression and eyes made Xie Chengfeng very useful. At the end, he raised his head, and the hair on the bird’s head shook arrogantly and said, “Although you are smart, you don’t understand human nature.”

Shen Jiajia was not annoyed, and smiled and stroked his head, “I have an idea.”

The next day, the governor came to visit Shilang Zhou, after which the two broke up. The reason for this quickly began to circulate throughout the Zhou family.

“It was said that the people in the yamen found the medicine powder in the food box in the kitchen.”

“Ah? Medicine powder?”

“That’s right, the medicine powder, the mansion has asked the imperial doctor who is well-known in the palace to identify it. He already knows what the medicine powder is and what it is… Well, I didn’t understand, anyway, the superior knows it. Now I want to search the whole palace. !”

“Ah? Lang Jun agreed? Our yard is also searched?”

“Lang Jun didn’t agree. He said that the Zhou mansion is so big and there are so many female dependents. Is it okay to search up and down and let outsiders see jokes. The mansion and Lang Jun couldn’t quarrel, so they got angry.”

“So, stop searching?”

“That’s not necessarily true. We, the ruler of the government, have a bad temper. It’s hard to say that a memorial will be sent to the imperial front. If you don’t search it, you will have to search it.”

“Hey, it’s none of our business anyway. You and I should clean up the dirty clothes and socks first, so as not to get the eyes of the yamen dirty.”

“You smelly socks!”

babble…

Shen Jiajia sat in the flower hall of the government office, drinking tea and eating snacks, and from time to time, she smashed the snacks into **** and fed it to the parrot on her shoulders, with a rather leisurely demeanor.

The governor admired her attitude very much. He took a sip of tea and asked Shen Jiajia: “Shen Sanniang, now all the manpower of the government office has been dispatched, and the Zhou residence is strictly guarded. Can you be sure of this?”

“There is no foolproof thing. Mansion, let’s just bet that he was reluctant to throw away the poison before, and that he has to throw it now.”

“You girl, you really have an exquisite heart. Have you ever promised someone? I have a nephew—”

“Cough, cough…” Shen Jiajia choked on the dim sum at once. She took a teacup and took a few sips of water.

Fuxu, the governor of the government, smiled and said, “You should ask your parents about this kind of thing. I’m sorry, it’s because this government is abrupt.” After saying this, he looked surprised again, “Hey, why did your bird blow up?”

Shen Jiajia hurriedly stroked Xie Chengfeng and stroked Mao down to him, “I think I was frightened by my cough.”

At this moment, someone from outside rushed in, shouting, “Report-Fujun! Caught, caught!”

Fu Yin got up from his chair with joy, “Oh? Really?”

That man ran into the flower hall, but it was Li Si who was sweating. It turns out that although Li Si’s kung fu is not good, his footwork is first-class.

“It’s true! That fellow threw something into the thatched hut and was caught by us. Now the stolen goods are on the way. Does the government know, who is that fellow?”

“Wait a minute.” The governor raised his hand to interrupt him, turned to look at Shen Jiajia, and asked with a smile, “Shen Sanniang, can you tell the object of your doubts now?”

“Naturally. The food boxes in the Zhou Mansion are divided into hot and cold. The murderer put the poison in the cold food box because if it was placed in the hot food box, the poison would become damp again as soon as it was steamed by the heat of the food, and it would stick to the top of the food box. The tribe can’t come down. Therefore, the murderer can only choose the cold food box. So how to ensure that Mrs. Yang can use the cold food box for lunch? Naturally, a basket of crabs is given, so that Mrs. Yang wants to eat what she likes, but the children don’t. Therefore, my first suspicion is Mrs. Yang’s nephew who delivered crabs. Even if he is not the murderer, he may have something to do with the murderer.”

After listening, the governor asked Li Si, “Is it him?”

“God, god!”
