Amused by his aggrieved expression, Ning Shu felt relieved. She picked up a piece and stuffed it into his mouth, "Don't act pitiful. Eat it quickly!"
When the food was in his mouth, Hui Mo immediately smiled and curved his eyebrows.
Ning Shu also picked up a piece and whispered to Xiahou Qing, "Thank you, Your Highness." The pastry was still warm. Obviously, it was sent here as soon as it was done. When she was looking for the files in the warehouse, he was outside thinking about everything for her.
Listening to her soft and tender voice, Xiahou Qing rubbed his fingers and scolded her with a smile, "You're long-winded."
Ning Shu's heart immediately floated with pleasure. She thought to herself, "Xiahou Qing already has such a devilish face and is so good at coaxing people. I can't let him fall into the hands of other girls. It's enough to let this male Daji harm me!"
It's decided, hee hee.
While eating the sweet pastry, Hui Mo frowned and thought, "So, in fact, Xue Hongyi is the one who has the most motive to kill the envoy to avenge her family, right?"
After going around in circles for a long time, the one with the strongest motive turned back to the most unlikely female ghost? Even Xiahou Qing felt a sense of absurdity in his heart.
His bony knuckles rhythmically tapped on the armrest, "How many descendants does the Xue family have?"
Tan Siwei opened the file and read it in order, "Because of the Great Ancestor Emperor's edict, General Xue was beheaded, General Mansion's family members were demoted to commoners, the rest of them were sent to slave status. Forced by the Zhu family, Xue Hongyi fell into the secular world. She had a younger brother who was eleven years old and a younger sister who was five years old. Mrs. Xue and her two younger sons settled in the wasteland in the suburbs of the capital and made a living by farming. Later, her younger sister died of an illness. Not long after, Mrs. Xue died of depression. Only her younger brother Xue Ran survived under the care of Xue Hongyi. After that, Xue Hongyi committed suicide. Xue Ran's whereabouts were unknown. Someone once said that they saw his body in the mountains and it was eaten clean by wild dogs. "
Hearing this, Huimo sighs again and again, "Oh, the Xue family is really miserable."
Tan Siwei said, "General Xue had two trusted generals when he was alive. One died in battle. The one who survived is called Bai Hong. He is Xunfangtai Susu's father."
After Tan Siwei finished reading, he continued, "But Susu has a maidservant's testimony. When the envoy died, Susu stayed in the room and did not take a step out."
Everyone fell into a brief silence. As the investigation deepened, wave after wave of people were forced into the situation and gradually walked into an unfathomable situation. And who else was connected to that invisible chain? No one knew.
Ning Shu thought for a moment and said, "I remember that Xue Hongyi was once engaged to a scholar when she was alive. What was that scholar's name?"
Tan Siwei read the dossier from beginning to end again. "Let me see. This dossier isn't finished. There should be another one. I'll go look for it in the storeroom tonight. I'll give it to you as soon as I find it."
Ning Shu nodded and said to Huimo, "You just went to inquire about the unknown person who knocked down Zhou Xiang. Did you find anything?"
Speaking of that person, Huimo could not help but sigh, "Don't mention it! I walked around the western market and asked countless people. I even gave out my salary for a few months, but I didn't get anything! Only the old lady who sold embroidery nearby said that she seemed to have seen the scene. But the person kept his head down deliberately and it was dark. In the blink of an eye, the person disappeared into the crowd. She vaguely saw that the person was holding something shining with silver light in his left hand. She could only be sure that the person was a man wearing gray silk clothes. He was not fat. "
"Left hand? Using a knife to quickly cut a strip of cloth from Zhou Xiang's body requires a very precise strength and agile speed. This means that this person is very likely to be left-handed. If he can afford to wear silk clothes, his family should be well-off. There was no trace of a flaw in the process. He quickly mixed into the crowd and hid in a corner. This means that he is very familiar with the terrain of the western market. Either he often goes there, or he was prepared. " Based on these few simple sentences, even Ning Shu could only extract so much useful information.
Vague, too vague.
This person, she really did not know whether to praise him for being resourceful or insidious.
The sunset glow in the sky had disappeared. Thousands of stars shone quietly in the dark blue sky. The stars were connected to form 28 constellations, mysterious and dreamy. It was as beautiful as a poet's dream after drinking.
But no matter how beautiful the dream was, the second day of the five-day period came to an end.
