Xie Zhao lowered his head, and after a while, a sketch appeared on the rice paper. The marked words were free and unrestrained, with a bit of his clear and powerful aura.

Xie Zhao spoke with a very calm expression, his words neither angry nor angry: "Madam, this bun shop opened three days ago, and Zhao Fendie happened to get lost in the bun shop. This is not a simple missing person case."

"How did the master know that the bun shop was newly opened?"

Jiang Yuzhu leaned over to take a closer look. The names of the shops around the bun shop were all written by Xie Zhao, and they were somewhat different from what Biyun said.

After hearing this, Liang An boasted proudly, "Madam, Biyun was too frightened and might have misremembered it, but the master will never be wrong."

Xie Zhao served as Jingzhao Yin for several years and traveled to every inch of the capital.

Whether it is the inner city or the outer city, the east city or the north city, every shop is remembered in his mind.

Before the bun shop opens, Xie Zhao's memory will be updated. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is a living map of the capital.

Biyun tried hard to recall: "I remember that next to the mutton soup shop was a snack shop, and it is exactly the same as what Master Xie drew!"

Xie Zhao turned around slowly, his expression unchanged: "Madam, if my guess is correct, the bun shop may have closed down."

When Biyun discovered that Zhao Fendie was missing, her first reaction was to look for someone nearby and then go to the bun shop to inquire.

Assuming that the bun shop was the last place where Zhao Fendie disappeared, they would definitely find a way to cover it up in order to get rid of her.

This delayed the best time to rescue people.

Jiang Yuzhu's face turned pale. Although she agreed with Xie Zhao's words in her heart, she still struggled to defend herself: "Master, maybe it's just a coincidence."

Xie Zhao frowned, his eyes flashing: "It's not a coincidence."

Liang An watched coldly, his lips twitching uncomfortably.

No wonder the master has been single for several years after getting married. He can't please his wife at all and is even worse than him, a servant!

Zhao Fendie is the lady’s good sister. At this time, the master should say nice words to comfort her and become the lady’s support!

Liang An was so worried that he took the initiative to help make up for it: "Madam, the master means that Miss Zhao may have been delayed by trivial matters. When she learned that we were looking for her, she would definitely come back to deliver the letter first."

Xie Zhao's face darkened, his eyes stern. "When you encounter difficulties, you must face them head-on. Even if you soften your words a bit, it still can't change the facts."

The owners of the bun shop on North Street are a pair of brothers. They have been running the shop for more than ten years and their business is booming because the fillings taste good.

Some time ago, the two brothers suddenly owed a large sum of money to the gambling house and had to sell the shop with great reluctance.

An official from the Jingzhao Yin Yamen was acquainted with the two brothers. After learning the truth, he suspected that the brothers were being plotted against.

The government just took over the case yesterday and is currently investigating.

One coincidence is accidental, but the accumulation of many coincidences must be premeditated. If you make a wrong judgment with a fluke mentality, the consequences will be serious.

"The person behind this is either seeking something, or... is in grave danger."

If the person behind this has a grudge against Zhao Fendie, the time wasted in finding that person is enough to kill her.

After Xie Zhao explained, his eyes darkened slightly and he reprimanded, "Liang An, don't mislead Madam."

Liang'an: "..."

He was not misleading, he was just trying to ease the tense atmosphere.

Not only did the master not appreciate it, he also gave him a scolding, which made Liang An feel very upset.

What to do when you are wronged? Of course, you should complain to the old lady Shen. As an insider, Liang An also plans to carefully mention the master's neglect of his wife over the years.

For example, when entering the palace on the wedding night, there is not even a bridal chamber with flowers and candles.

"Master, why are you scolding Liang An? He just wants to comfort me."

Jiang Yuzhu made the decision for Liang An, which touched Liang An even more.

Look, the difference between people is so huge.

The lady is really nice. Even if her subordinates are stupid and make mistakes, she won't beat or scold them. Instead, she will praise them and give them benefits if they do well.

Liang An looked at Hong Jin. He couldn't wait to join his wife!

Before he knew it, Xie Zhao had been deserted by everyone.

"Master, since they went to such great lengths to kidnap someone, they must have some ulterior motive."

Jiang Yuzhu wanted to get some psychological comfort, and after Xie Zhao poured cold water on her continuously, she came to her senses.

Half an hour later, news came from the north of the city that the bun shop had closed. The police went to search, but found the shop empty.

The subordinate replied, "Sir, there is a secret door in the bun shop that leads to a small alley. Miss Zhao must have been taken away from the back door."

After hearing this, Jiang Yuzhu lost the last bit of hope in her heart.

Xie Zhao sent his men to look for witnesses, but there were too many people on North Street and there was no news by noon.

At noon, the sun was scorching and the hot wind was drying.

In the study, Jiang Yuzhu fidgeted restlessly. She stood up and paced back and forth, her palms sweating. "Biyun, has your young lady ever offended anyone?"

Sitting back and waiting for the people behind the scenes to negotiate terms is not a solution; we must take the initiative.

Jiang Yuzhu thought carefully and realized that Zhao Fendie had indeed left the Zhao family, but it was unacceptable that the Zhao family went to so much trouble to buy the bun shop just to kidnap someone.

If you want to catch Zhao Fendie, you just need to trick her.

If it’s not the Zhao family, could it be the Ji family?

"Master, do you think it was Ji Chengyun who did it?"

There are not many families that Zhao Fendie is familiar with, and even fewer that she celebrates major festivals with.

Xie Zhao's eyes flashed with slight surprise: "Madam, do you suspect him?"

Ji Chengyun is a stupid person, just a good-for-nothing, and he definitely doesn't have the ability to make such meticulous arrangements.

Besides, after the divorce, Zhao Fendie had no connection with the Ji family.

Jiang Yuzhu rubbed his brows and said, "Master, I thought you would never underestimate your enemies, but I didn't expect you would look down on others sometimes."

Ji Chengyun is not smart, so there is no guarantee that he will get guidance from an expert.
