Chapter 42: Case Solved

"Brother Jiang, can I go in with you?"

Zhao Yi thought for a moment and then spoke.

Since I can't ask directly, I'll try to get some valuable information out of Miss Jiang Liu's heart.

"Can."

Jiang Li nodded.

He walked in with Zhao Yi.

"I've seen my mother."

"Are your two younger sisters here too?"

Seeing Jiang Youning and her sister, Jiang Li nodded to them in a cold voice.

"I have met the lady and the two young ladies."

Zhao Yi also bowed.

"Aren't you discussing a case? Why are you here in my hospital?"

Lin Xiangyin nodded slightly to the two of them.

Immediately a maid served tea.

"Mother, I sent someone to inquire around our house, and it turns out that a maid in your yard also lost something yesterday. Brother Zhao and I came here specifically to see if we can find any clues in your yard."

Jiang Li spoke slowly.

Lin Xiangyin immediately nodded in understanding.

"Check it carefully, and it would be best if you could check the entire mansion.

Tell everyone below to keep their mouths shut, and if anyone loses anything, don’t let anyone know.”

This kind of thing caused a sensation in the whole city, but if the news spread that a young lady had lost her bellyband, her reputation would be completely ruined.

"Don't worry, mother. Your sons know all these things."

[Investigate, investigate, it's still an unsolved case anyway, and in the end there will be a scapegoat for you to take back.]

[After all, no one would have thought that the murderer would be a parrot. ]

[I heard that the Zheng family spent several years raising that parrot. It would be great if we could bring it home and play with it for a few days.]

“…”

Jiang Wanrong and Zhao Yi were stunned again.

A parrot?

What kind of parrot is this that can be so clever as to take away so many girls' bellybands?

However, when he suddenly found a direction to investigate, Zhao Yi's eyes lit up instantly.

Zhao Yi spoke directly in front of everyone present.

"Brother Jiang, I suddenly thought of a good idea that might help us successfully capture the murderer."

"Speak!"

Jiang Li immediately looked at Zhao Yi seriously.

"Please enter the jar!"

Zhao Yi chuckled, and then continued: "My father brought so many concubines into the room, it doesn't matter if one of them loses a bellyband."

【You are so filial. 】

[However, before Zhao Yi found out that his sweetheart had become his concubine, didn't he respect his father very much? What happened that I don't know? ]

[It is a good idea to invite you into the jar, but the parrot was bred to deal with the Queen Mother, so it only likes the same plum-scented bellyband as the Queen Mother. It is useless for you to just find a concubine.]

Thinking of his failed marriage, the heartbroken Zhao Yi first showed a constipated expression on his face, and then a hint of joy appeared on his face.

Although Miss Jiang Liu's information is shocking, it is extremely useful.

"In that case, Brother Jiang, please stay at home and investigate first. I will not disturb you any more and will go home to make arrangements first!"

Zhao Yi has thought it through.

If what Miss Jiang Liu said today really came true again, he would worship her like a god from now on.

"Can."

~~~

This night.

Jiang Youning slept soundly.

Jiang Wanrong turned over to her side.

Zhao Yi and Jiang Li waited patiently in the arranged place for half the night.

In the end, the two successfully caught the bird in the jar.

"Great, Brother Jiang, we have successfully caught the murderer!"

Looking at the parrot in the cage, Zhao Yi was extremely excited.

"Brother Zhao, you seem quite sure that the murderer is not a human?"

Jiang Li immediately noticed something wrong in Zhao Yi's words.

"I just combined the clues we collected over the past two days. Now looking at this bird holding up its bellyband and preparing to run away, I feel like all the unreasonable places now make sense."

Zhao Yi gave an answer with a forced smile.

He was sure of it.

If he told the truth, Jiang Li would kill him.

These days he also discovered that Jiang Li, who seemed to be stuffy on the surface, was actually a sister-con.

If he knew that he could hear Miss Jiang Liu's thoughts, but he, as her brother, could not, wouldn't he be jealous and hate him to death?

"Yes, take it to the secret room in the other courtyard and report it after we have examined it thoroughly."

Jiang Li nodded slightly.

~~~

Because of yesterday's oolong.

Jiang Youning didn't get up today, so Chuntao didn't dare to yell anymore.

The doctor said that the lady should rest more.

Jiang Wanrong felt mixed emotions when she learned that it only took Jiang Li and Zhao Yi one night to solve the bellyband case.

"Sister, do you know that the case that gave Third Brother a headache yesterday was successfully solved this morning?"

"So fast? Third brother is too amazing."

Jiang Youning performed a pupil earthquake on the spot.

[How could this be a blind cat catching a dead rat? How did it become a plot? 】

[However, it is estimated that this case can only be closed here.

After all, Zheng Wangba is not in the capital, so no one can find any evidence against him. 】

Listening to her sister's words, Jiang Wanrong felt an indescribable strange feeling.

She believed what her sister said, that the case was too mysterious.

According to common sense, the relationship between the third brother and the young master of the Zhao family cannot be found.

However, it only took them one night to catch the murderer who had no clue at all.

unless……

One of them, like me, can hear what is in my sister's heart.

If this person is my third brother, then there would be no problem.

But if it was that Mr. Zhao...

Jiang Wanrong's eyes flashed.

It seems that we have to find an opportunity to test the waters. If necessary, we must kill this person.

~~~

afternoon.

Lin Xiangyin took Jiang Youning and her sister onto the carriage.

Nothing special.

Mainly, I want to go to the Duke's Mansion to express my condolences today.

Especially after I heard this morning that the Duke's wife's bellyband was also lost.

It didn't take long for the family to arrive at the gate of the Duke's Mansion.

Lin Xiangyin's maid immediately went up and knocked on the door.

After the servant opened the door, Lin Xiangyin smiled softly: "I heard that my elder sister was ill, so I brought my two daughters to visit her today. Please pass on the message."

Seeing that it was the Jiang family's carriage, one of the servants immediately ran inside.

A lot of things broke in the past two days, and the heartbroken Duchess is now frantically pruning the branches.

When she heard the announcement that Lin Xiangyin came to visit with her two daughters, her face turned purple.

"This jerk! He must be here to laugh at me!"

"Madam, do you want to invite someone in?"

The nanny beside the Duke's wife spoke cautiously.

The Duke's wife's face turned gloomy and she gritted her teeth.

"Please! Help me wash and change my clothes. Don't let me be outdone!"
