"That thing in the doll...whose it is?"
Aunt Xie was startled, and subconsciously hid the doll in her hand behind her.
In those vicissitudes of life eyes, there was a trace of guilt and uncertainty, and he whispered, "What did you say, sir? How can there be something in this doll?"
Ji Yunshu just smiled, but didn't pierce her right away, she thought longingly, her eyes narrowed, "That thing should be a piece of jade, it's not big, but it's not small, it's neither round nor square, it feels slippery to the touch. A flat, oval body, a triangular-scalloped tail, and a slightly upturned head, eh? Like what? Like... a fish."
Her eyes lit up!
Uh!
Hearing these words, Aunt Xie suddenly shook her hand, and the doll didn't grasp it tightly, and immediately fell to the ground.
The wet cloth was stained with dust on the ground, and it looked dusty.
Aunt Xie quickly grabbed it from the ground and kept wiping it with the patched sleeves, trying to wipe the dust off.
That action seemed a little panicked!
She also whispered softly, "There is nothing here, no fish..."
Ji Yunshu's face sank slightly, his beautiful eyebrows wrinkled, got up and walked over, holding Aunt Xie's hand that kept wiping the doll, and then slowly squatted in front of her.
"Ms. Xie, in the past three years, you have walked all the way from the imperial palace to the capital, what are you doing? Isn't it just to find out the real murderer and give Ye'er justice? Now, as long as it is related to Ye'er, no matter what it is , may be clues, if you know something, you shouldn't hide it, and I don't know why the things in this doll make you so panic? But if you trust me, tell me."
"I… "
"I won't force you, but I hope I did nothing wrong in choosing to help you."
When Aunt Xie heard this, she thought of her goodness. If it weren't for her, her daughter's case would never have been solved.
then-
After hesitating for a while, he finally said, "That's Ye'er's most precious thing."
"What is it?"
"A jade pendant."
"May I take a look at it?"
Aunt Xie worked hard on her dry and cracked lips, nodded, turned the doll to one side, found a very inconspicuous thread, and said while removing, "After Ye'er died, I sewed the jade pendant into the I want to wait for the day when the murderer is brought to justice, and bury this doll and jade pendant in the coffin together."
That said, the jade pendant is very important!
The thread has been slowly picked out, and Aunt Xie carefully digs out the cotton inside with her hand for a while, and finally takes out the thing.
really!
It is a jade pendant in the shape of a fish.
She handed it to Ji Yunshu, "In the past, Ye Er always held this jade pendant to look at it for a long time, and every time she burst into tears, I asked for a long time before she was willing to tell me that it turned out that this jade pendant was the one who made her pregnant. She keeps it by her side and is reluctant to throw it away, and protects it with all her heart, and no one is allowed to touch it, it is also a sin! What did my Ye'er do wrong? It was such a waste of being killed by a thousand knives."
Regarding Ye Er's pregnancy before marriage, the mother and daughter suffered a lot of gossip back then.
It's all tears.
Ji Yunshu looked at the jade pendant in the palm of his hand. It was a small red fish in one day. There were no patterns carved on the front. It was clean and very smooth, but the workmanship was very delicate. , It is very comfortable to touch in the hand, and it is polished very carefully.
She turned it over again, but the back of the fish was flat, as if it had been cut in half, leaving this flat cut.
It seemed that the other half was on Ye'er's lover, who was also the one with a flute on his body that Qiao Zihua saw.
After scrutinizing it, she returned the jade pendant to Aunt Xie.
Not long after, the rain stopped outside, and she instructed Qiaoer to send Aunt Xie back to her own yard.
Ji Yunshu drew the shape and shape of the jade pendant on the paper, thinking about asking someone to ask if anyone knew who the owner of the other half was.
the next day!
Early in the morning, she took Shi Zijin to Zhichun Tower.
Unlike before when she went in with Jing Rong to hide her eyes and ears, as soon as she entered, she went directly to the proprietress of Zhichun Building.
When the proprietress came, she looked her up and down a few times. Seeing that she was wearing a good material and temperament, she didn't look like a rich person or a high-ranking official. She even gave her a sideways glance and walked over with a fan.
He said impatiently, "Where did you come from, young master? When you come here, look for my mother Yan. Although the old lady is indeed magnificent, but you..."
He smiled contemptuously.
We don't accept it!
Ji Yunshu was not annoyed either, and a word floated out of his mouth, "I'm here to handle the case."
"Handling a case?" Yanniang wondered, "You kid really likes to joke around, my Zhichun Building is where the girls do business, not where you poor boy come to handle the case, if you want to handle the case, go to the yamen! What are you doing here? ?"
Fan wave.
Ji Yunshu said, "Three years ago, Miss Ye'er died here."
Uh!
I saw Yan Niang's face stiffened, she reacted, and immediately glanced at the surrounding vigilantly and worriedly, then she glared at Ji Yunshu, pressed her fan on her red lips lightly, and said sternly, "What nonsense are you talking about? Are you here to smash the field?"
"Then see if you're worthy or not?"
"What's the meaning?"
Ji Yunshu took out a sign from his sleeve, which was the Yamen token given by Lord Zuo to facilitate her investigation.
She casually flashed in front of Yanniang, "Do you recognize me?"
"Recognize... get it!"
Seeing that it was the yamen's token, Yanniang immediately took it away with her angry and fierce look.
Ji Yunshu leaned towards her and put his mouth close to her ear, "It's about people's lives, and it's also about your business of managing Chun Lou. Are we talking here? Or go upstairs?"
Yan Niang's mouth twitched, and she hurriedly greeted her, "Young master, please go upstairs."
Showing a flattering look.
He led Ji Yunshu and Shi Zijin to the third floor and found a spacious and clean room to sit down.
It is tea, and it is the reception of cakes.
"Master, why didn't you say hello in advance when you said you came? I almost ignored you." Yanniang continued to smile on her face.
Ji Yunshu glanced at the room a few times, but did not respond.
"Master..."
"My name is Ji."
"Master Ji." Yanniang called out very intimately, then swallowed her saliva, licked her lips, and said tentatively, "Master Ji, what happened to Ye'er three years ago...isn't it already over? Why are you here to investigate again today? ?"
"Which room did Ye'er happen to in the past?"
Go straight.
Yan Niang was stunned for a moment, her eyes widened.
