Su Xiaopei first met the mother-in-law. With a stern face, the mother-in-law first told Su Xiaopei how her daughter-in-law was not good enough for a cup of tea. She didn't start talking about today's events until Su Xiaopei felt that it was enough and led her to talk elsewhere.
In fact, it was really an ordinary day. Because of the good sun, when the mother-in-law asked her daughter-in-law to take out the winter quilts and winter clothes in her house to dry, wash the sheets and clothes, and asked her to clean up her accessories. The daughter-in-law complied. But in the afternoon, when the old lady woke up from a nap and woke up to check the work carefully, she found that her favorite jade pendant was gone.
She asked her daughter-in-law on the spot, but her daughter-in-law only said she didn't know, and pretended to look through her mother-in-law's house, but couldn't find it. The mother-in-law naturally didn't believe that she didn't take it, so she searched her daughter-in-law's house and body, but found nothing. In the end, the two came to the yamen.
The old lady scolded one sentence after two sentences, and Su Xiaopei listened patiently and carefully.
After chatting with the old lady, Su Xiaopei met the daughter-in-law again. The young daughter-in-law is already the mother of a child. The child is ten years old. She went to school today. She only went home for lunch at noon, took a nap, and then went back. After the child went out, the old lady also woke up. She walked around the yard and played with some flowers and plants. When she came back, she checked whether the clothes washed by her daughter-in-law were clean, whether they were neatly folded, and whether they were sorted and put in the cabinet according to the rules. Then she checked whether the combs and jewelry were cleaned, and found that there was a jade pendant missing.
"Have you wiped the jade pendant today?"
The daughter-in-law wiped her tears and nodded: "I wiped it, because it is my mother's favorite pendant, I wiped it very carefully, I remember this clearly."
"After that, where did you put it?"
"I put it back in the box along with the other jewelry. I never took it."
"Did the child play it naughty?"
The daughter-in-law shook her head sharply: "When I was cleaning the jewelry, the child was studying in the school. Besides, the mother was usually strict with her teaching, so the child would not dare to take it."
"Are you sure you put the jade pendant back in the box?"
The daughter-in-law paused and cried, "I do remember that I put it in the box, but my mother asked me a few times. I thought and thought, but I couldn't remember the scene of putting it back. I wiped the jewelry together. Yes, everything else is there, I should have put it all in. But today my son came back at noon and said that he was punished by the master, and he didn't want to go to school anymore. I kept thinking about it this afternoon, and I was a little confused. I was afraid that he would play elsewhere. When I was cleaning the jewelry, my mother asked me to go to the yard to collect the sheets, so I quickly put all the jewelry into the box, went out and collected the sheets and came back. No one has ever entered the house. But the pendant is indeed gone. ."
"So you're not sure what you put in the box?".
"I..." The daughter-in-law bit her lip and wept, and finally fell to her knees with a plop and cried, "My lord, I beg your lord to find out, I'm not a thief. My mother-in-law never liked me, but I have always been my duty and filial piety to her. The old man's. I don't want to divorce, not to mention that I have a deep relationship with the official husband and wife, even this crime I can't bear. If I am sentenced to steal and divorce me back to my parents' home, how will I behave in the future?"
Su Xiaopei was startled and quickly helped her up. She could imagine how tragic it would be if this woman was really wronged, her husband and children were taken away from her, and her reputation was ruined. She thought about it and looked out the window. In the yard outside the window, the man surnamed Zeng looked in the direction of the house and waited anxiously. His mother was still talking angrily while standing beside him. Su Xiaopei turned his eyes, but saw Ran Feize.
With joy in her heart, Ran Feize met her gaze and nodded at her.
Su Xiaopei asked the daughter-in-law to wait, then pushed the door and went out.
"Why did the strong man come?" As soon as she went out, Ran Feize came over, and she hurriedly asked.
"I heard that the girl took a case, so I'll take a look."
Su Xiaopei smiled and nodded: "It's a small case."
Ran Feize also smiled when he heard the words: "It seems that the girl is confident."
"There is a way to argue their words, does the strong man have any advice?"
Ran Feize raised his brows when he heard the words, he understood what Su Xiaopei meant, her method must be a little weird again.
"Girl, don't make up your own mind, don't make trouble, just be careful with your words and deeds."
Su Xiaopei nodded.
But Ran Feize was worried and asked, "Does the girl understand?"
"Understood." Su Xiaopei was amused by his expression, and replied, "Those who can be informal are those who have a sword in their hands."
"That's exactly what the girl said."
The two looked at each other and wanted to laugh again.
Su Xiaopei lowered his head and said, "Then I will go and report to Lord Fu Yin first."
Ran Feize nodded and didn't move. Obviously he didn't intend to accompany her.
Su Xiaopei took a few steps, looked back, saw that he was also turning his head to look at her, Su Xiaopei warmed his heart, and walked faster. She felt as if she was going to the exam room alone, while Ran Feize stood watching, like a parent taking the exam. Su Xiaopei walked in a hurry and saw Qin Dezheng again in front of the governor's house.
"Miss Su." Qin De is calling: "I heard that your Excellency has handed over a case to the girl."
"It's a small case." Su Xiaopei said.
Qin De was listening, smiled slightly, and left.
Is he worried about her too
Su Xiaopei calmed down and suddenly realized that this was really an exam.
But she wasn't worried, it was really a small case, she could do it, it was a trivial matter.
Su Xiaopei went to see the governor. Seeing her, the governor asked, "How is it?"
"Sir, what the daughter-in-law said is indeed a little unsure of where the things are."
"This official has already known."
"I have a way to help her remember where she put things, or, if she really stole it, to teach her where to put it."
"Really?" Fu Yin frowned.
"Seriously, don't beat, don't scold, don't scare. I just talk to her. Only my method requires a quiet environment and can't be disturbed. I hope the adults know this."
The governor thought for a while, nodded, and called a yamen to come in and explain a few words. The yamen was ordered to go with Su Xiaopei.
Su Xiaopei went back to the house where his daughter-in-law was being tried. The daughter-in-law was still there, but she was talking with her family officials through the window, holding hands with tears. Su Xiaopei came over and nodded at the yamen. The yamen took two people and invited the other idlers away, and led them outside the yard. Ran Feize didn't stay, and followed out of the yard.
The daughter-in-law was a little flustered and looked at Su Xiaopei.
Su Xiaopei smiled at her: "Don't panic, Madam, because Madam didn't remember exactly where the pendant was placed, I told your lord, let Madam think about it quietly, and I will definitely be able to clear up Madam's grievances."
The daughter-in-law looked surprised: "I didn't lie, I really thought about it carefully. I remember that it was put into the wooden box together."
"Don't worry ma'am." Su Xiaopei greeted her: "Sit down."
The daughter-in-law sat down.
"Madam trust me, I will definitely find that pendant for Madam." Su Xiaopei's voice was soft but firm. The daughter-in-law nodded involuntarily.
"Mrs. listen to me carefully and think as I say, okay?"
"Okay." The daughter-in-law nodded again.
"The weather is very good today, the sun is warm, and the lady has dried her clothes and sheets."
"Yes."
"Madam, please close your eyes."
The daughter-in-law is closed.
"Recall that standing under the sun today, isn't it warm?"
"Yes."
"That's good. Madam, she is standing under the sun at the moment, just like today, warm and comfortable, Madam?"
"Yes, the sun is fine."
"The lady just stood there and did as I said. Now, slowly inhale, exhale, inhale, exhale... The sun is still there, it's warm, it's comfortable..."
Su Xiaopei guided her slowly and let her daughter-in-law relax completely, which took her some time. She confirmed that her daughter-in-law was completely relaxed and followed her instructions, and then she said, "Now, Madam is standing in front of the clothes. The clothes are all dried, Madam. You can see clearly, right in front of your eyes."
The daughter-in-law followed the voice and saw the picture: "Yes. I saw it, and it was all dried. The clothes are in front of the sheets."
"Now, tell me how many clothes are hanging out?"
"Ah..." The daughter-in-law was surprised.
"You can see it, right in front of you."
The daughter-in-law nodded, she could see it, very clearly, she said the number, from left to right, adults and children.
"Okay, now Madam has gone back to the room, Madam has to clean up the jewelry." Su Xiaopei spoke slowly, his voice was very calm, "How did Madam clean up?"
"I took the thick quilt in, spread it out on my mother's bed, wanted to dissipate the heat, and folded it later. Then I sat on the chair beside the bed, opened the wooden box on the low cabinet by the bed, and wiped it. I put it on the bed, wiped it all, and wiped the box."
"Then let's start wiping, Madam. Which one did Madam wipe first?"
"It's a silver hairpin." The daughter-in-law could see clearly. "I took out all the things, the silver hairpin, the silver comb..." She stated the order clearly.
Su Xiaopei waited for her to count the items slowly, without interrupting her.
After waiting for a while, she said again: "Someone called you outside, who is it?"
"It's my mother. She said that the sheets were dry, and she didn't like to be in the sun for too long. She said it smelled."
"Then how did you do it?"
"I put things in the box and get out."
"Okay, don't worry. Look carefully and put them one by one."
The daughter-in-law breathed a little faster: "I grabbed the hairpin and hairpin, put them in, and then the silver comb..." She counted one by one, and then she said suddenly: "The pendant, the pendant is on the bed, I didn't put it, I ran out."
"It's okay, it's okay." Su Xiaopei almost said "it's okay", when she changed her words, she calmed down and said carefully: "The pendant is still there, don't worry. What are you going to do?"
"Take the sheets back."
"What's next?"
"Unfold on the bed."
"You unfolded, and then what did you do?"
"The wooden box was under the sheet. I reached out and took it out and put it on the table."
"What's next?"
"I folded the sheet, folded the thick quilt, and put it in my mother's box."
"What about the pendant?"
The daughter-in-law did not speak, but her breathing was clearly audible.
"The pendant is on the bed, you can see it. The sheets are folded, the thick quilt is folded, where is the pendant?" Su Xiaopei slowly guided.
At this time, the daughter-in-law said, "I saw it. It was on the quilt, and I folded it together with the quilt."
"Very well, don't worry. Then what?"
"I made the bed, folded my clothes, and put them in my mother's suitcase according to the rules. After I tidied up the house, I went out."
"Okay, now we're back in the yard. Feeling the warm sun?"
"Yes."
"Where is the pendant?"
"Under the quilt, I put it into the big wooden box in the east corner of the mother's house."
"Very good, now you can feel at ease, you feel very comfortable. You are in the yard, there is a breeze, do you like being in the yard?"
The daughter-in-law didn't speak. After a while, she said, "It's a little hot, but I still like to go back to the house."
"Okay, then go back to the house now."
After a while, Su Xiaopei asked, "Are you in the house?"
"Yes, I'm sitting. The chair was made by the officials for me. It's very comfortable."
"Then you can sit for a while, then rest for a while. When you're done resting, open your eyes and tell me, okay?"
"it is good."
Su Xiaopei waited for a while to confirm that she was all right, and heaved a sigh of relief. She patiently waited for the daughter-in-law to open her eyes. After waiting for a long time, she finally woke up and opened her eyes.
"Sir." The daughter-in-law looked around, surprised and delighted, "I remember, I know where the pendant is."
Su Xiaopei nodded: "Indeed. Madam thought about it carefully, and indeed she remembered it."
"I just rested for a while." She still remembered everything, she remembered Su Xiaopei chatting with her, she recalled the details of what happened, and she remembered that she sat for a while like a nap.
Su Xiaopei smiled and nodded again: "It is only after a good rest like this that I can concentrate all my energy and think carefully. Madam has done a good job."
The daughter-in-law couldn't sit still: "I, I want to go to the official and tell me, I thought of it."
Su Xiaopei nodded again, she opened the door, went out and called the yamen just now, everyone rushed into the yard, the daughter-in-law hurriedly ran towards her officials, and explained the matter to him in detail, the mother-in-law was suspicious, Su Xiaopei asked them to take a moment Wait, she went to recover the governor, and the governor listened to it, and sent a servant to go back with the family. As a result, it was indeed the quilt that was folded in the wooden box that shook out a jade pendant with a clear green color.
Su Xiaopei, who heard the result, and Ran Feize, who had been waiting to accompany her, said proudly, "Last time I failed, this time you will teach me to succeed."
Ran Feize said: "This method of recalling things is very good, the girl is very skilled."
Last time he asked her if she had ecstasy, this time he said the method of recalling things. Su Xiaopei blinked and realized.
The inn called Su Xiaopei and asked her what method she used. Su Xiaopei changed the name of hypnotism to the method of recalling things. He said that it was because his daughter-in-law was nervous and couldn't remember it. She accompanied her and taught her to relax. can remember. The governor didn't say much and let her go. But a few days later, the governor called Su Xiaopei over again and asked her if this method of recalling things could be used in confessions.
If it were in modern times, Su Xiaopei would discuss with him the legal and technically implementable results, but this is another world, and in this world, the strong man she trusts the most, as early as she succeeded in using hypnotism. On that day, he taught her earnestly that people who make publicity must first have the truth. The ability he said was the ability of the sword. Of course Su Xiaopei understood.
So Su Xiaopei replied to the governor, this method is just to help others think of more things in a very relaxed situation, just like being tired and tired, the principle of listening to a song and reading a book is the same, but the method is different. Therefore, when it is used for interrogation and confession, I am afraid that it cannot be too clever.
But the governor did not give up, he called Su Xiaopei from time to time to have a chat. Even Qin Zhaotou and several masters were pulled over to discuss how this method could be used.
This made Ran Feize frown and sigh: "Girl, some people love to cause trouble, maybe you are." For this trouble, he wanted to go but couldn't, could go but didn't want to go, how much he didn't want to go. He was a little confused when he was walking. He sighed and poked Su Xiaopei's head. Now that something happened and he had to go, it was really melancholy to think about it.
Su Xiaopei muttered, "Does the strong man have something on his mind?"
Ran Feize thought about it for a while and said frankly: "There is a murder case in the rivers and lakes. It is said that the murder weapon is a nine-bell cut made by my teacher, but the identified murderer claimed that it was not what he did, and has sent someone to find me and let me go. Discuss the injury and identify the murder weapon." He paused, looked at Su Xiaopei's somewhat disappointed expression, and sighed in his heart: "Girl, I have something to do and I have to go."
The author has something to say: I said in the book that hypnosis is not to lull people to sleep, but to enter the other person's subconscious at the moment when the other person is most focused and relaxed. As long as you give enough hints and grasp the moment to give instructions, you will be able to hypnotize successfully.
This foreshadowing should appear later
