Dressed as cannon fodder, fake daughter, she worked hard

Chapter 90 An Unsolved Case

The next day, when the government was on vacation, Jiang Sheng was about to leave for the painting shop in the western suburbs when he heard two women at the corner gate in the south gossiping there.

"Have you heard?"

"What are you talking about?"

"It's because the release pool drowned people."

The red-coated woman hurriedly lowered her voice, as if she was afraid of startling the ghosts: "It's strange that I haven't heard of it. Usually there are many people there, and the pool is not deep. There has never been such a thing—"

"If you say that Mushan Temple is a place frequented by officials' wives and girls, who would dare to go after such a thing happened?"

Jiang Sheng paused, and suddenly appeared from the corner. The two women were taken aback: "Gu... Miss?"

"what are you guys saying?"

The two mothers-in-law looked at each other, thinking that they probably didn't say anything out of bounds just now?At most, he said a few words casually, the wife and girls of the aristocratic family will not dare to go to the release pool in the future.

They replied cautiously: "The servants and servants are just talking casually..."

Jiang Sheng raised his hand: "I didn't blame you, I just heard about the Free Life Pool—what happened to the Free Life Pool?"

She confirmed again: "Is it the release pool of Mushan Temple?"

"Yes……"

The red-coated woman said: "The girl often lives in the boudoir, and she probably doesn't know it. As for what happened the night before yesterday, I heard that when the man was fished out, his whole body was doubled swollen, and his limbs turned white. Terrible."

The red-coated woman seemed to have seen that scene, she said it clearly, closed her eyes and recited two more Buddha's names: "Amitabha, Amitabha."

"I also heard..."

"Don't talk nonsense, you're scaring the girl." The woman in the red jacket was about to continue talking, but another woman hurriedly interrupted her and continued.

"It's not a big deal, it's just that people who fall into the water fall into the water every year. It's not surprising that the government can't handle it." That's all, I hope the girl will not blame you."

Jiang Sheng asked: "Do you know who fell into the water?"

"This... the servants don't know."

Jiang Sheng asked a few more questions, seeing that the two of them were indeed just hearsay, so he didn't ask any more questions, but went out.

Release pool?overboard?

Didn't she almost fall into the release pond?

But even if Jiang Yan didn't catch him at that time and really fell into the water, with so many people around the pool released, he couldn't die, at most he drank two sips of water.It shouldn't be the same thing as this... right?

Recently, neither the woman she bought with money nor the other two girls have been to Jiangpinghou's mansion, so she almost forgot about it.

Jiang Sheng secretly put it in his heart.

So when he was in the painting shop, Jiang Sheng asked calmly: "Master Zhang, will the Ministry of Sentence for Falling into Water take care of it?"

Zhang Fengjin gave Jiang Sheng a strange look.

"Usually, it should be out of our control..."

Jiang Sheng felt that there was something in his words, and waited for the other party to continue.

Zhang Fengjin said: "But a few days ago, someone fell into the water in Mushan Temple, and the situation is more complicated."

Jiang Sheng raised his eyebrows.

Could it be because Mushan Temple used to be an imperial temple, so it is special?

Soon Zhang Fengjin broke her guess.

"In recent days, there have been many strange disappearances of people. Men, women, children, and children have no rules. After being found, they are all dead, and the methods of death are also different. It's just that there is a plum blossom on the shoulder..."

"Your Majesty already knows about this matter and ordered us to investigate thoroughly."

"And the shoulder of the person who fell into the water in Mushan Temple has an imprint, because it has been slightly rotted in the water, but it can still be seen as a plum blossom."

"So - we suspect it was done by the same person, and if so, it is of a very egregious nature."

"Yesterday, after I sent someone to check, the release pond has been ordered to be surrounded. There is no ten-day holiday today. Now, except for a few of us who came to learn painting with Miss Jiang, the rest should be in Mushan Temple."

Hearing this, Jiang Yan said happily, "Sister, I'm going too in a while."

Jiang Sheng first smiled at Jiang Yan.

and many more!

She suddenly remembered: "Who fell into the water? A monk?"

Zhang Fengjin thought for a while: "In the temple... a girl who helps with work."

Jiang Sheng suppressed the guess in his heart, raised his eyes and continued to ask: "How old are you?"

"19 years old." Zhang Fengjin was surprised, "Ms. Jiang seems to be very concerned about this matter?"

Jiang Sheng said: "Well, can I ask what her name is?"

There is nothing to keep secret, Zhang Fengjin replied: "Her identity plate says Feng Xin, but after coming to Mushan Temple, the person who brought her changed her name to Xinrui."

really.Jiang Sheng frowned, his first reaction was that the night was dark and the wind was high, killing people to silence them.

But what does Zhang Fengjin mean by "every time there are people"?
"You mean besides Xinrui, who else was murdered recently?"

Zhang Fengjin said: "Since August, people have been missing one after another. When they were found, they had already turned into corpses. At first, the family members only reported to the Yamen... Later, things became more and more serious. Even the disappearances were omitted, and they died directly in the hospital. bed or doorstep”

One person answered: "Yes, the yamen can't even control it, so I pushed it to the six doors."

He said "tsk": "After the six doors were taken over, a team of people was specially selected to investigate, but there was still no clue for a long time."

There is a mark left on every person he kills. This person must be arrogant and confident.

He is not afraid that the government will find out about this matter, and he is confident that he will not be caught, which is difficult.

"Several people were killed in a row these days. His Majesty was furious and asked us to cooperate with the people from the Six Doors to investigate this matter."

And the dead were not only civilian servants, but also an admonishing doctor and Taichang Shaoqing.

Jiang Yan also hehe continued: "It's better to let our people go out."

"It's weird to say..." Zhang Fengjin pondered for a moment, "It hasn't been long since the last time this kind of case happened, so there shouldn't be another case so soon."

Zhang Fengjin didn't think too much about it. With so many dead people on his hands, maybe he was in a bad mood. Isn't it logical to take another life at random?
Jiang Sheng asked: "Where is the deceased now? Can I go and see?"

Since it is not a natural death, people will certainly not be buried so quickly.

Zhang Fengjin said: "Wu Zuo is confirming the cause of Feng Xin's death, whether he died by drowning, or whether he died first and then was pushed into the water, so we can't bring unrelated people to see it for the time being."

Jiang Sheng turned the charcoal pencil, and the light wood-colored cylindrical shell slipped smoothly between her fingers: "Then can I ask about the case before this?"

Zhang Fengjin struggled for a moment: "This... I'm sorry I can't tell you."

These things are only announced to the outside world in a few cases that cannot be concealed, for fear of causing panic.

Jiang Sheng finally asked: "The Mushan Temple can still enter now?"

After getting an affirmative answer, Jiang Sheng went with him after school.

　This is the case! ! !
　　I got stuck here for six days, until my head became bald, and I only wrote a few hundred words in six days. I didn’t know how to arrange the suspenseful reasoning plot more appropriately, and I started to feel irritable.
　　It wasn't until the seventh day that I suddenly had a flash of inspiration. Since Jiang Sheng came through a book, why couldn't he know about it directly?

　　Therefore, Jiang Sheng and her sister are about to recognize each other~
