Di Ying saw the confusion on Zhao San's face, but did not explain it. Instead, he changed the question and asked: "Have you ever checked whether Qiao Xiuyuan and Shu Huai met frequently after they got engaged?"
"have,"
Zhao San nodded and said again: "Qiao Xiong said they don't meet often. Although the two children are engaged, they can meet frequently to cultivate their relationship, and both families are supportive.
I don't know why, but Shu Huai rarely goes to Qiao's house. Qiao Xiuyuan herself said that she only went to Shu's house once. "
After hearing this, Di Ying picked up the teacup again. Just as he was about to say something, he saw that everyone looked tired. When he saw the bright sky outside the window, he said: "Everyone, go take a nap for an hour. There is only one hour. hurry up."
Everyone also knew that the case was tight and the task was heavy, so they quickly found a place and lay down.
For a moment, there was only a small, even sound of breathing.
Di Ying drank tea slowly.
Starting from the Chunzhuang case, to the disappearance of twenty-six women, and then to the murder of She Xiaoyu, these brothers of mine were really working day and night.
Whenever I hear I can sleep, I almost lie down on the floor and fall asleep.
Di Ying looked at Xie Jing and Zhou Lin who were not sleeping, and nodded her chin towards the sleeping figures of the brothers.
Xie Jing and Zhou Lin quietly and gently moved them one by one to the beds in the guest room.
The sleeping brothers smelled the familiar smell approaching, so they continued to sleep confidently.
…
When the sky was dimming, Qiao Xiuyuan, who had been disturbed all night and was a little restless, finally fell into a deep sleep.
Suddenly I heard a sound from the window.
It was the window she had climbed out of. It made a loud noise, and then something flew in.
Then he rolled to the ground.
That night, Qiao Xiuyuan, who was frightened and frightened, sat up instinctively when she heard an unusual noise, and opened her eyes while still confused.
When I saw something rolling on the ground, I was so frightened that I wanted to scream. When he saw it was just a stone, he closed his mouth.
He jumped out of bed, approached cautiously, looked at the window again, and then approached again.
When he confirmed that it was just a small stone, he breathed a sigh of relief and smiled slightly.
I patted my chest and felt completely relieved. Then he went outside and called the maid in the courtyard to help her wash up.
Her family is not very wealthy, and there is only one maid to serve her. On weekdays, the maid Xiaomeng sleeps in the west wing of the courtyard and is also responsible for guarding the courtyard.
After Qiao Xiuyuan washed up in a hurry, she quietly slipped out of the backyard door avoiding the people in the house without letting Xiaomeng follow her.
The mother-in-law in the backyard was also disturbed all night, and she was snoring loudly, as if she was sleeping loudly.
Qiao Xiuyuan opened the door latch with her own hands and feet, closed the door after going out, and then ran to the river in a hurry.
Between Jingmenfang and Jingyifang, there is a river that is neither wide nor too deep. It winds around the whole city and then flows out into the moat.
This is convenient for people to use for laundry, etc.
Qiao Xiuyuan ran along the river, not far from the abandoned area, and stopped in front of a small bridge.
Standing and panting, I looked around again. When I saw no one was around, I crossed the bridge with my skirt in hand.
Then walk south along the river.
She thought to herself: Go forward a dozen steps, turn left, and enter Jingmenfang, and you will be where she wants to go.
It's really cold so early. It was so cold that her hands and feet were a little cold.
But thinking about that place...
She lowered her head, rubbed her hands together, and blew hot air on them.
It feels like my whole body is getting warm.
But at this moment, I suddenly felt something behind me and a heavy sound.
She was so frightened that she wanted to look back.
But suddenly he was pushed hard.
Qiao Xiuyuan's feet suddenly became unstable, and she turned sideways and fell into the river.
She was so frightened that she was about to scream, but the river water flooded into her mouth. She panicked, swallowed water, scratched the water, and struggled desperately.
Terrified.
But the weather was so cold, the river was so icy, and the thick fur cloak on my body felt very heavy after being soaked in water...
Qiao Xiuyuan soon lost consciousness.
When a person on the shore saw that she had completely sunk to the bottom of the river, he raised his feet and quickly disappeared into the morning mist.
When Di Ying received the report, a cup of tea had not completely cooled down, and the guards lay down and slept for a while.
He drank the rest of the tea in one gulp, stood up, took Xie Jing and Zhou Lin, who were also having trouble sleeping, and went out.
Didn't wake the guards.
Di Ying decided to go there first to see the situation.
In just two hours, Qiao Xiuyuan and Miss Qiao, whom they saw last night, were already lying cold and wet on the river bank.
In the morning, some people went to the river to fetch water and prepare it for heating and washing. I saw a person covered by a thick fur cloak at the bottom of the river.
I thought the man was still alive, so I jumped into the cold and biting river water to salvage him without thinking. It turned out that the person was already dead.
Di Ying looked at the little face that looked a little domineering, arrogant, heroic, and slap-like last night, but was now pale and swollen, and gritted her teeth hard.
Xie Jing's eyes were sharp, and when he saw the veins appearing on the Lord's forehead, he quickly came closer and whispered to comfort: "Sir, she is not a suspect. We can't keep her no matter what."
After hearing this, Di Ying gritted her teeth even tighter.
Seeing this, Xie Jing quickly added: "Even if we don't sleep or rest, as long as we don't arrange for someone to keep an eye on her, we can't prevent her death in time."
Di Ying glared at Xie Jing.
Then let him stop the few people who got up early from approaching.
He took out a pair of gloves and put them on, squatting next to Qiao Xiuyuan, preparing to conduct a preliminary autopsy.
But when he stretched out his hand halfway, he paused.
He looked back at the curious people, then at the sun that had climbed a pole high, and frowned slightly.
According to common sense: during this time, as long as they are not bedridden, most people should have already gotten up. The busy day is about to begin.
How could there be such a river in the city that runs between two buildings, and there are only so few people nearby? Or after reporting the crime, only a few people came to watch the fun?
As soon as doubts arose, Di Ying pinched the palm of her hand.
Last night, because he needed to find the whereabouts of She Xiaoyu as quickly as possible within the golden time period, he Di Ying...
Not being too cautious. Let the guards disturb the peace of the people in these two villages. Later, in order to find the murderer as soon as possible, he disturbed the people for almost a whole night...
All of this was Di Ying's fault.
