After Ji Wanrong heard Ji Yunyao's last words, he took advantage of her unpreparedness and closed the wooden door without hesitation.
When she turned her head, Mo Jiecheng was already immersed in reading the documents bit by bit, and he seemed to be reading them very seriously.
Ji Wanrong snorted coldly, knowing that he was secretly listening to the conversation between her and Ji Yunyao, and now he was pretending to be quail.
She took a few steps forward and carefully observed the files that Mo Jiecheng was looking through, and found that Mo Jiecheng was an unsolved case in Jingzhao Mansion in recent years.
"Why did you read this? I thought you would read those files where Lu Zhongfeng went out to work."
After all, if something happened to an official in the capital, Lu Zhongfeng would often be called to seek justice. When Ji Mansion was the Nanyang Marquis Mansion, Jing Zhaoyin was called several times for Ji Wanrong's matter.
"Because I always feel that something very strange happened in Jingzhong before, but that case has not been solved, and in the end it was dropped."
Ji Wanrong raised his eyebrows, "When did it happen? Why don't I remember it at all?"
"It was about seven or eight years ago. I was in the army at that time, so I heard about it. And you -" Mo Jiecheng glanced at Ji Wanrong and stopped talking.
"Of course you don't know what happened at that time. After all, you only changed drastically this year."
There was something in Mo Jiecheng's words that made Ji Wanrong a little sarcastic, but she still refused to admit defeat and choked on her neck: "Hasn't His Highness Han Wang learned from the pain and changed his past mistakes? Why do you allow yourself to change, but don't? Allow others to change?”
When Mo Jiecheng heard Ji Wanrong's words, he curled up his lips, then shook his head without refuting, so he accepted it.
"I have asked people to investigate Lu Zhongfeng's actions during his tenure, but there is no news yet."
Ji Wanrong nodded: "I don't have one here either."
After the two of them said this, Ji Wanrong followed his own ideas and began to search the rows of wooden shelves for some cases of Lu Zhongfeng going out to work.
There are also some particularly strange incidents in the suburbs of Beijing, whether during Lu Zhongfeng's tenure or before he took office.
After all, Ji Wanrong guessed that Lu Zhongfeng and Lu Liangfeng met in the capital, so a series of unusual things happened afterwards.
When Lu's mother was seriously ill, Lu Zhongfeng ignored his own future. After Ding You returned to his hometown, Lu's mother recovered from her serious illness inexplicably.
Then she met Yuan Yizhi. After Yuan Yizhi married into the capital, she started her hellish life.
So all the changes happened after Lu Zhong was named on the gold list and before he married Yuan Yizhi.
Maybe he met Lu Liangfeng when Lu Zhongfeng was on his way back to his hometown, but if the two brothers had a relationship with the queen, then Ji Wanrong believed that this happened while Lu Zhongfeng was in the capital.
The capital could accommodate Lu Liangfeng, or other people like Lu Liangfeng, and punch and kick them without anyone even noticing.
That was probably in the suburbs of Beijing.
And since Lu Zhongfeng has become Jing Zhaoyin, after saving his brother, he will probably go back and look at the scene of the previous crime, right?
Ji Wanrong thought, then bent down and found a series of things that happened in the suburbs of Beijing from under the shelf.
It's just that this shelf hasn't been taken care of for too long. As soon as Ji Wanrong pulled out the files, dust suddenly spread all over the sky.
Ji Wanrong hurriedly closed his eyes, coughed twice, and covered his nose.
Before she could notice that the scrolls on the shelf above her head were loose in an instant, she was about to hit Ji Wanrong's head one after another.
Ji Wanrong heard the movement above her head, opened her eyes suddenly, and was caught off guard when she saw the scroll hitting her head in the dust.
Before she could react, a hard figure suddenly approached her in the next second.
The familiar scent of fir is on the tip of the nose again.
Then he put his long arms around Ji Wanrong's waist and suddenly pulled Ji Wanrong towards him, causing the hem of Ji Wanrong's skirt to fly violently.
Mo Jiecheng retracted his long arms, and then hugged her tightly in his arms.
What Ji Wanrong felt was the blazing temperature of his chest, and the wooden scroll hit Mo Jiecheng's back, and Mo Jiecheng made a low groan.
Time seems to stand still at this moment.
Both of them were stunned. After a long time, Ji Wanrong tightened the scroll in his hand, pushed Mo Jiecheng away without saying a word, and then said thank you softly.
Mo Jiecheng looked at Ji Wanrong's back as he walked out in a hurry, his eyes dimmed, and he silently picked up all the scrolls on the ground and put them back in their place.
Then he took his own scroll and continued to read silently.
A room full of scrolls returned to silence at this moment.
Ji Wanrong and Mo Jiecheng were both watching in silence at this moment. They didn't know how much time had passed, as if they had learned nothing.
Ji Wanrong rubbed his sore eyes and moved his neck, but found a line of small words in the upper left corner of the file in his hand that was not eye-catching.
"On May 10, two people disappeared in the capital, a boy and a girl. The girl was pregnant in May."
Ji Wanrong frowned slightly, then turned to the front to look at the date of the file and found that it happened six or seven years ago.
Ji Wanrong scrolled further and found that the number of missing people in the suburbs of Beijing would vary from year to year. There was no specific pattern, but it was still within a reasonable range.
However, some of these people were found, some had their bodies recovered and were confirmed to have died accidentally, while some did not even have an account of their whereabouts.
When Ji Wanrong saw this, he thought for a moment, then made a small mark on the page, and then turned back.
Before Ji Wanrong could look at it for a long time, he heard Mo Jiecheng's voice coming from behind him: "Found it. I have found the whereabouts of the case that has never been solved before."
Ji Wanrong's eyes lit up, and he slowly raised his head, and saw Mo Jiecheng happily walking towards him with several files.
"Look here, here, and here."
Mo Jiecheng casually pointed out a few places to Ji Wanrong.
Ji Wanrong took a closer look at the place where Mo Jiecheng mentioned, only to realize that the unsolved case Mo Jiecheng mentioned was also a missing person in Beijing.
"The file says that within one month of five years ago, five families came to Jingzhao Mansion to report to the government that their family had lost someone. One of them was a merchant in Beijing, so he had some wealth."
"The only son of the merchant's family contracted tuberculosis since he was a child, but he spent money to raise him to a tender age. The fortune teller said that he would not survive until he was a weak boy, but after he bought a girl to celebrate his wedding, the young man suddenly developed tuberculosis. alright."
"The merchant's whole family was almost overjoyed, but unexpectedly, not long after, the young master Ke disappeared. The merchant bluntly said that the happy girl killed the consumptive young master, so Jing Zhaoyin had no choice but to temporarily take the happy new daughter-in-law into custody for investigation."
"But half a month later, the merchant asked the fortune teller for help. The fortune teller calculated that the young master was in the west at the moment. The merchant's family actually found the body of the consumptive young master in a mass grave in the west of the capital."
"What impressed me deeply at that time was that the corpse of the consumptive young master was turned into a skeleton. The merchants of the Bao family confirmed his identity through the jade pendant that Mr. Bao carried. At that time, they almost fainted from crying. However, there were many wild dogs in the mass graves, and the author believed that the bones were eaten by wild animals, so it did not arouse anyone's suspicion at the time."
"After the news spread in the capital, four more families reported it to the police that month, but the bodies were never found."
