female catcher

Chapter 84

Jiang Xiyuan came to the police station in the early morning, with Liu Rong's transcript and Fang Ruolan's statement.

Xia Chu was still sleeping, still in that curled-up position, making her look small.Jiang Xiyuan quietly walked to the side of the bed, wanting to reach out to push her awake, but put his hand on her shoulder, but patted her lightly twice.

Early Xia slept peacefully, her eyelashes covered her nimble eyes like crow feathers, her lips were slightly parted, and she couldn't hear the sound of breathing, like a doll fired in a porcelain kiln.

Jiang Xiyuan put his hand under her nose, and she stretched out her hand to scratch it, but she didn't wake up, she just buried her face in her palm, revealing her ingot-like ears and a white and tender neck under her short hair.He smiled, put the file on the table next to him, and walked out lightly.

After Fang Ruolan's confession came out, all the details corresponded.

On the evening of March [-]rd, Fang Ruolan first secretly asked Liu Yingxu to come to Houshan Road, saying that Fang Yi wanted to see her.Then she went to the meditation room to chat with some friends. At Xushi, she left for a short time with the excuse of going to the toilet.

During this time, Fang Ruolan ran to Houshan Road to meet Liu Ying, knocked her unconscious with a wooden stick, and then pressed Liu Ying's neck with the wooden stick, strangling her to death.Then he returned to the meditation room.

No one would think that going out to go to the bathroom was considered leaving, so when Xu Lu investigated, he didn't find out when Fang Ruolan committed the crime.Those sisters all said that Fang Ruolan was with them all the time.

After the chat was over, everyone dispersed to rest, and Fang Ruolan returned to the scene of the crime again, faked the state of Liu Ying being raped and killed, and then threw the corpse down the cliff.

"I don't like them." Fang Ruolan said to Jiang Xiyuan when she was being interrogated, "Actually, I didn't want to kill them at first, but they insisted on marrying my brother."

"Don't you think your brother is going to marry sooner or later?"

Fang Ruolan shook her head, "At that time, Miss Xu's family was engaged to my brother. I went to a fortune teller and asked him to tell Mrs. Xu that this marriage was unlucky. Didn't the Xu family withdraw the engagement? If you don’t believe it, what, it really is unlucky.”

"Then you were also the hindrance to the Liu family's resignation?"

"Yeah. If Liu Ying didn't go to my brother, I didn't want to kill her." Fang Ruolan snorted, "It's her own indiscretion. She said my brother asked her out, and she came here in the middle of the night. It's good to die. I know it's my brother's intention to propose marriage to the Liu family, and I also want my brother to see what the so-called lady of every family looks like."

Jiang Xiyuan rubbed his forehead, a little speechless.

"If you hadn't come to ask my brother for questioning, I wouldn't have known that my brother had taken a fancy to Liu Rong." She lowered her head and pulled her fingers, a little annoyed, "It might be a mistake to kill Liu Ying. If I didn't If you kill Liu Ying, you won't suspect me, so you won't rush over when I want to kill Liu Rong."

Jiang Xiyuan shook his head, "Liu Rong's mother knew that Liu Rong's departure was to go away with Fang Yiyuan. Didn't you harm your brother by doing this?"

"Aren't you looking for time to commit a crime?" Fang Ruolan raised her head and said, "My brother has no time to commit a crime. What will you do with him?"

"Aren't you afraid of hurting your brother's reputation?"

Fang Ruolan smiled, and leaned back, "That's great. Liu Rong was killed because he wanted to elope with my brother, so no one would dare to betroth the girl to him, and it would save me time and time again. As long as I know that my brother is a good person, I will not leave him, he will gradually understand. No one can take my brother away."

Afterwards, Jiang Xiyuan said with emotion to Xia Chu: "She knows that killing people is wrong, but she still doesn't seem to think there is a problem with her thinking."

"A serious brother-in-law complex." Xia Chu said, "Her childhood experience made her feel extremely insecure. She believed that only Fang Yi could be trusted and relied on. For all those who might change the relationship between her and Fang Yi, They are all hostile, including her father. In her world, only Fang Yi and herself are allowed, and she thinks Fang Yi should be the same."

"That Fang Yi is really pitiful. He supported the family at such a young age and brought up his younger sister. Everything went smoothly, and his younger sister grew up, but this happened."

Xia Chu lowered his eyes and nodded, "Yes. He is the most pitiful."

The case of Liu Ying's murder was thus solved, together with Hong Yuerong's case of no head.Master Liu Zhong Liu sent a plaque to Jiang Xiyuan to express his gratitude, Jiang Xiyuan took it, but said quietly to Xia Chu: "It's really not practical."

After the Grain Rain, the Xingzhou and Linfeng areas in the north showed signs of drought. The local officials handed over the papers to the capital, saying that some merchants had already started hoarding goods to raise prices.

Su Zhen asked the Ministry of Households to allocate a sum of money in advance to try to stabilize the value of people's livelihood, and asked them to come up with a plan for raising disaster relief funds, so as not to be caught blind.It was very hard for Shangshu Hubu.

The Zuo Shilang of the Ministry of Industry and the people from the Water Conservancy Department were also sent to Xingzhou by Su Zhen. On the one hand, they had first-hand information on the drought situation, and on the other hand, they prepared a series of measures to store water in advance to prevent severe drought.

After a busy period of time, Su Zhen saw Chu Xia again in early April, which was close to the beginning of summer.

After the spring rain, in the bright and bright sunshine, Su Zhen wore a moon-white gown with an egg-blue silk sash around his waist. He had a mixed temperament of a pure boy and a steady man. He stood calmly and appeared in front of Xia Chu dazzlingly.That brilliance compared to the blooming Magnolia plant poking out of the neighbor's yard, Xia Chu's blood rushed to his forehead and his cheeks turned red.

sin sin.

Xia Chu feels that he has always been a person who pays attention to connotations, and he used to sneer at those female compatriots who scream and go crazy when they see beautiful men.It wasn't until now that she realized that it wasn't that she wasn't superficial, but that her aesthetic level might be too high. In the past, there were no beautiful men who could catch her eyes.

"Chu Xia." Seeing her walking over, Su Zhen smiled.

No, I'm going to have a heart attack.

"I haven't seen you for a while." Su Zhen looked at Xia Chu carefully, "It seems to have grown a little taller."

"Thank you, Mr. Huang seems to have grown taller too." After Xia Chu finished speaking, he wanted to bite his tongue.Xin said: This way of greeting each other is too silly!So he hurriedly remedied it: "Is the mutton soup that Xiaoliang brought back last time still taste good?"

After saying this, Xia Chu felt annoyed again.That mutton soup was made nearly a month ago, and it seemed like he was afraid that he would forget that he had invited him a bowl of takeaway mutton soup!
"What I mean is..., your two letters have helped me a lot, I'm treating you today!" Xia Chu said, wiping his sweat silently.

Su Zhen smiled, "It's good if I can help you, you're welcome. Oh, and thank you for the mutton soup."

"Forget it, forget it, I, I am..." Xia Chu scratched his heart with all his claws, and made himself very ashamed, prevaricated a few words, and then got into the car.

"Where are you going to take me today?" Su Zhen then got into the car, sat down firmly, and asked.

Xia Chu thought for a while, lifted the curtain and said to An Liang, "Xiao Liang, let's go to Sanliu Alley over Xuanyangfang."

"What's so special about that?" Su Zhen asked.

"There's a stall selling cold noodles..." Xia Chu said halfway, turned to look at Su Zhen's white and luxurious clothes, and said, "Xiao Liang, why don't you eat the eight bowls of Xijing in Yongpingfang?" , right next to Guangjitang Pharmacy, do you recognize it?"

"I know." An Liang responded and drove the car up.Xin said that this place is closer to the palace than Fuji, and it will be more convenient when I go out to buy it in two days.

"You know a lot."

"Actually, I haven't been there either. Because I promised to treat you to dinner before, I asked our lord specifically. The place he recommended should be pretty good." Xia Chu smiled at Su Zhen, "Oh, our lord is Beijing Zhaoyin Jiang Xiyuan, does Mr. Huang recognize him?"

"I've heard of it, but I don't have any friendship." Su Zhen replied casually with a smile, "He is quite a character."

"Yes, the emperor's brother-in-law in the future." Xia Chu chuckled, leaning against the wall of the car with his hands folded behind his head, "I always thought that the emperor was a person in legends, an unreal existence, now when I think about the relationship between me and the emperor In fact, there is only one person in between, so I think it's very interesting."

"You want to see the emperor?" Su Zhen asked tentatively, looking sideways at Xia Chu's expression.

But Xia Chu shook his head, "I dare not meet someone who can legally kill someone with just a word."

"It's not that scary..." Su Zhen said a little depressed.

"Have you met Mr. Huang? I heard that the emperor is very good-looking, of course, it was also what our adults said." Xia Chu turned to look at Su Zhen, and smiled, "I think he is not as good-looking as Mr. Huang. "

It was the first time Su Zhen heard such a straightforward compliment, he couldn't help being startled, his face felt hot, and he turned his head away hastily.

Xijing Eight Bowls is a special dish in Xijing. Many restaurants sell them. They are all eight bowls, but the ingredients used are slightly different, and the taste is even more varied. Good and bad.

Yongping Fang sells Xijing Bawan is called Shunshuilou, besides Xijing Bawan, it also sells other products. Maybe his family’s Xijing Bawan is really famous, so most of them are called: Yongping Fang’s Xijing Bawan. .

Just like the "Hepingmen Roast Duck Restaurant" that is often said, it is actually called Quanjude.Early Xia analyzed it like this.

A few days ago, Xia Chu and Jiang Xiyuan had a lively chat about Xijing food, but the overall feeling was like talking with a duck.All Xiachu knew were small restaurants like Fuji, but what Jiang Xiyuan recommended was Zuoshang Restaurant.

That is, the kind where you have to borrow money to eat when you go in at the beginning of Xia Xia.

And this Shunshui building is considered the most down-to-earth one recommended by Jiang Dacaizi, for wage consumption.

"Although it's called a 'lou', it's actually not that big. I ate it by chance. The environment is not very good, but the taste is quite amazing. It is the most delicious Xijing eight bowls I have ever eaten. I will take you to try it if I have the opportunity .” Jiang Xiyuan said with some yearning.

This opportunity was created by Xia Chu himself.
