In the study, Jiang Yuzhu got straight to the point: "Master, my suspicion of Ji Chengyun isn't groundless. Some time ago on the first floor, Ji Chengyun saw Fendie talking to a man with a black face, and he assumed he was her lover, so he kept pestering her."
Xie Zhao nodded slightly. He knew that he was there.
"Little black face?"
Biyun suddenly remembered something and quickly replied, "Thank you, Madam. I remember now. The young lady's disappearance must be related to Little Black Face!"
Xie Zhao's teacup swayed, overflowing with tea. He paused for a moment and said, "Biyun, tell me what's going on."
"Some time ago, my young lady went to a hair growth shop to help out, and she ran into a pockmarked man accompanying a dark-faced man to get hair growth treatment."
Before Biyun finished speaking, Jiang Yuzhu echoed, "That's true. I was there that day too."
Xie Zhao: "..."
If Biyun had not given him a nickname, Xie Zhao would never have realized that his mask was so ugly. However, when he thought about the new emperor being called Little Black Face, Xie Zhao felt a little balanced and decided not to pursue it.
"After my lady shampooed Little Black Face's hair, she noticed some discoloration on his neck and behind his ears!"
Biyun was extremely suspicious of Xiao Heimian and spoke much faster.
How long does it take for water to fade if you haven't showered?
"And that day, we happened to run into Master Ji, who misunderstood that my young lady was having an affair with Blackface, so he sent people to chase her and beat her with sticks. My young lady kindly suggested that Blackface report her to the police, but he didn't appreciate it!"
"If ordinary people are wronged, the first thing they would think of is reporting to the police and asking the justices to make a decision. This is human nature. But Little Black Face was chased and beaten by Master Ji twice, and he managed to escape in a panic, losing a shoe, but he still managed to hold on. It's obvious that he's guilty!"
He himself was engaged in illegal coal mining, so he was afraid that his own affairs would be implicated if he reported the case to the police.
If you are chased and beaten, you will get two hits at most. If you are caught mining illegal coal, you will have to spend at least a few years in prison!
A calculating look flashed across Xie Zhao's eyes as he said to Biyun, "How about this? You recall the details and I'll take notes myself, especially the details of the fight between Black Face and Ji Chengyun. If you tell me more, maybe we can find some clues."
To the people behind the scenes, Zhao Fendie had no value to them, nor did they have any hatred towards her that required her death.
Since the other party has an agenda, they will soon reveal their true intentions.
The best way to deal with it is to wait until the opponent makes another move and then take the opportunity to catch him by the tail.
Might as well have some fun in the process.
Xie Zhao pinched his shriveled purse. He took Biyun's "confession" to Xiao She to ask for hush money, which might help him solve his financial difficulties.
It's great to make money to support your life while investigating cases and finding people.
"I suspect that the black-faced man contracted a coal mine and learned that my young lady intended to report her to the police, so he kidnapped her and threatened her..."
Biyun spoke excitedly, saying that there were not many men as evil as him in the capital, so it would be better to issue a city-wide wanted notice!
Xie Zhao's eyelids twitched, and he asked, "Did you figure all this out on your own?"
Biyun hesitated for a moment, then told the truth: "Thank you, sir, this is my young lady's speculation, I borrowed it."
Jiang Yuzhu analyzed the situation carefully and felt something was amiss. She said to Biyun, "Since Blackface wanted to capture Fendie and silence her, why did he let you out?"
When killing someone to silence them, no one should be allowed to escape.
"Besides, judging someone as operating an illegal coal mine based on the discoloration of their neck is completely groundless and subjective."
Jiang Yuzhu rubbed her chin and tried to recall. "I've met Blackface and his followers twice. Blackface has a hot temper and is very straightforward. He can't stand the slightest injustice. He doesn't look like a bad person. It's his followers who are suspicious."
In Da Qi, although white is considered beautiful, there are inevitably people with different aesthetic tastes.
For example, Jiang Yuzhu herself can appreciate different kinds of beauty.
Those soldiers from the north were all muscular, and their rough appearance was almost negligible.
Biyun was stunned for a moment: "Thank you, Madam. I really didn't think of this. Could it be that the pockmarked face is the mastermind behind this?"
Xie Zhao: "..."
Jiang Yuzhu: “…”
In the afternoon, Xie Zhao went to the Jingzhao Yin Yamen. When he returned home in the evening, there was still no news from Zhao Fendie.
"Master, Fendie is my best sister. She was abducted for unknown reasons. I am deeply worried."
Jiang Yuzhu brought a plate of fried goose eggs and softened her tone, "How about you take me to the Ji Mansion to take a look?"
She used her connections to investigate Black Face and Pockmarked Face, as the two rarely appeared in public and their identities were questionable.
The current suspect had to start with Ji Chengyun.
First sneak into Ji's house, and then go to Zhao's house to eliminate anyone around Zhao Fendie who is even slightly suspicious.
Xie Zhao rubbed his brows. The Madam was not easy to serve, so all his analysis was in vain.
"Madam, my husband is the Jingzhao Yin. Without the emperor's permission, I cannot trespass into the residence of an official."
No matter how big or small the Ji family’s official position is, he is still an official after all.
Xie Zhao's words sounded very righteous, but Jiang Yuzhu didn't believe a word of them.
Are we all foxes who have become spirits, pretending in front of her? Hasn't Xie Zhao sneaked in enough times?
Jiang Yuzhu snorted coldly and decided to teach Xie Zhao a lesson. As his legal wife, she still needed to beg for help.
"Yuzhu, your request is really difficult for your husband."
After receiving the news of Zhao Fendie's disappearance, Xie Zhao sent his men to inquire about the situation everywhere, and found that there was nothing abnormal in the Ji family.
"Is it difficult?"
Jiang Yuzhu lowered her eyes and smiled coldly.
Zhao Fendie is her best sister. After waiting for news at home for a whole day, Jiang Yuzhu really couldn't sit still.
Maybe as Xie Zhao said, it has nothing to do with the Ji family, but she couldn't think of anyone else.
Jiang Yuzhu just wanted to do something for Zhao Fendie, even if it was in vain, at least she wouldn't be as panicked as she is now.
"Madam, I have already sent someone..."
Xie Zhao's words stopped abruptly. He had already seen Jiang Yuzhu walk to the corner and stare at the feather duster!
Xie Zhao stood up, holding the table with both hands. As long as Jiang Yuzhu commits a crime, he will use all 36 strategies!
Otherwise, my wife would chase me and beat me, and I would lose all my dignity and face.
Xie Zhao was distracted, and Jiang Yuzhu had already turned around. She paused, her hands empty, and with a murderous look on her face, she suddenly accelerated and rushed towards him.
For a moment, Xie Zhao had only one thought: the lady might want to slap him.
The time was too short for him to think about anything else. Jiang Yuzhu had already stood on tiptoe and got very close to Xie Zhao's face, pleading with tears in her eyes: "Husband, please!"
Xie Zhao's eyebrows jumped violently, and she felt bad when she heard the word "husband".
His cheeks burned hot, and a sweet smell lingered in his nose. Before he could recover from the aftertaste, he heard a roar: "Xie Yuanhe, you are really great!"
Shen's figure was swept in like a gust of wind. She picked up the feather duster at the door and swept it towards Xie Zhao without saying a word.
