Chapter 610 Something Strange in the Carriage
Chapter 610 Something Strange in the Carriage
When mentioning Li Zheng and his mother, disgust was revealed instinctively on Rong's face.
"Those two shameless guys are still here, of course, but they seemed to have gone out early this morning, and I don't know what they went to do."
As she spoke, she noticed the strange look on Jiang Suining's face, and her heart suddenly skipped a beat.
If Miss Jiang didn't make an appointment with Miss Jiang, then someone must have impersonated her...
"Miss Jiang, could it be that Li Zheng and his mother are pretending to be the lady you are dating?"
If so, what is their purpose? Will they hurt the lady?
Jiang Suining didn't want to waste time, so he took the anxious Cong Rong with him and the carriage headed straight for the west of the city.
Liuyi Street is the street with the most residential houses in the west of the city.
The street is not very wide, and is surrounded by courtyards of all sizes. However, due to its age, some of the courtyards have become vacant.
Among them, the courtyards at the innermost part of the street are the most vacant because of the narrow streets and inconvenient transportation.
The carriage could not go all the way to the innermost part, so it could only stop at a spot on the street. Jiang Suining and Congrong walked in with the coachman.
When he walked outside the innermost courtyard, Jiang Suining stopped and looked at the tightly closed gate.
"Miss Jiang, how about I go in and take a look first?" Cong Rong looked at the yard, feeling a little nervous. But when she thought that her young lady might be inside and might be in danger, she didn't care about anything else.
Jiang Suining did not respond, but just shook his head at Cong Rong and turned to look at the driver.
Although this driver was only responsible for driving the car on weekdays, he was carefully selected by Shen Yanxi and had good skills. He nodded in understanding, walked to the base of the courtyard wall, listened to the movement inside, and climbed up the wall with an easy jump.
After observing the situation in the yard, he jumped into the yard lightly.
Jiang Suining stood outside the yard with a frown on his face, waiting. Less than half a cup of tea later, the tightly closed gate of the yard was opened from the inside.
The driver opened the gate and said, "Madam, there is no one inside."
Jiang Suining walked in. The house looked like it had been abandoned for a long time. There were a lot of weeds growing in the yard, and a lot of dust accumulated on the wooden pillars and corridors.
"Are you sure there is no one here?" Jiang Suining asked the driver.
"Madam, I have checked inside and outside, and there is indeed no one here. However, someone must have been here recently. There is a broken spider web at the entrance, and you can vaguely see some footprints on the ground."
"Could it be that our young lady has come?" Cong Rong asked quickly.
She remembered it very clearly. The place mentioned in the letter was this place.
Jiang Suining continued to ask: "Are there any signs of fighting in this courtyard?"
The driver shook his head. "The things and plants in the yard are in good order. There should not have been any fighting."
"Could it be that our young lady came and found that there was no one in the yard and left?" Cong Rong asked.
If that was the case, the young lady might have returned home by now. It could be someone playing a prank on her.
"Are you sure that the letter was in my name?" Jiang Suining asked Cong Rong again.
Seeing the latter nod, Jiang Suining thought: "If he really tricked your young lady out under my name, I will definitely not let her go easily."
Cong Rong's expression, which had just recovered a little, changed again. "What should we do? Miss Jiang, is there really something wrong with her? Why don't we report to the police right away?"
Jiang Suining looked carefully at the yard in front of him again. Lu Yan was tricked out of the house and suddenly disappeared. This might be what Xiao Yi had told Li Zheng and his mother.
But what is the purpose?
If Xiao Yi did this for the purpose of targeting himself and Shen Yanxi, then what on earth should he do to implicate himself?
It's impossible to rely solely on a letter written in your name.
"Miss Jiang?" Cong Rong's anxious call brought Jiang Suining back to his senses.
She said, "Okay, let's go report to the police right now."
After leaving the yard, Jiang Suining and the others hurried to get on the carriage.
After entering the carriage, Jiang Suining frowned, feeling that something seemed to be wrong, but after looking around, he did not find anything wrong.
"Miss Jiang, what's wrong?" Cong Rong asked.
"It's okay." Jiang Suining shook his head, sat down, and told the driver to leave quickly.
After the carriage left Liuyi Lane, Jiang Suining's eyes inadvertently fell on the incense burner in front of him, and he instantly realized what was wrong.
"Wait!" Jiang Suining stopped the carriage.
The driver stopped the carriage immediately, and without waiting for him to ask, Jiang Suining lifted the curtain and quickly got off the carriage.
"Someone must have gotten on the carriage just now. This incense is different from before."
She had felt something was wrong when she first entered the carriage, and now that she thought about it, it was because the smell of the incense was stronger than at the beginning.
The driver immediately entered the carriage and checked the incense burner. He sniffed it carefully, then heaved a sigh of relief and turned to Jiang Suining and said, "Madam, there is nothing wrong with this incense. It is just sandalwood."
Jiang Suining signaled the other party to open the incense burner and confirmed that there were indeed new incense sticks inside. He then checked the drawer where the incense was stored and found that the spices inside were a lot messier. Someone must have taken new spices from the drawer and added them in.
"This is strange. If someone got on the carriage, why did they just add some incense into the incense burner? What's the purpose of doing this?" The coachman asked in confusion.
Jiang Suining thought silently. If someone really sneaked into the carriage, it would definitely not be just to add some spices that had not been tampered with. There must be other reasons.
Jiang Suining scanned the carriage inside and out, and finally, his eyes fell on the carriage covered with white fox fur.
"Is that blood on the fox fur?" Jiang Suining stared at the inconspicuous red spot.
The driver quickly followed Jiang Suining's line of sight and discovered that there was indeed a trace of blood on the soft white fox fur. Because it was right at the edge of the seat, it would be difficult to find if not carefully examined.
Jiang Suining slowed down his breathing and said to the driver in a deep voice, "Open the carriage and take a look."
"Yes." The driver took the order, lifted the fox skin and opened the lid on the carriage.
The space in the carriage is small, so the space under the carriage is empty, which is used to store some items that might be needed. Jiang Suining is used to putting his cloak inside.
As soon as the lid was opened, a faint smell of blood wafted out. The cloak that was originally placed inside was stained with a lot of blood, which looked quite horrifying.
The driver looked at the blood-stained cloak in surprise, "Madam, this..."
Cong Rong was shocked, "Why is there blood on this cloak?"
Jiang Suining's brows were solemn. "It seems that the incense is just to cover up the smell. They are worried that we will smell the blood."
The driver's face was tense, "Madam, what is this blood?"
Jiang Suining's heart sank, and he immediately said, "Go back, back to the yard we were just in!"
