Chapter 134 This person has quite a few secrets.
Qin Wanying looked at Wei Hongwen, slightly surprised.
Were you waiting at the door to laugh at me?
Has your impression of me changed so quickly? You're letting me look for your own things now?
It seems that his actions just now changed Wei Hongwen's impression of him.
Chen Ning was also very surprised.
He knew that Qin Wanying was coming to assist the Dali Temple in investigating the case, and the officials below him shared his attitude of resistance.
The one who made the most noise was Wei Hongwen. He was at Qin Wanying's door, mostly there to see her make a fool of herself.
But in just over half a day, Wei Hongwen's impression of Qin Wanying changed?
What exactly did Qin Wanying do to make Wei Hongwen trust her so much?
Le Xiuyuan, who was standing to the side, also spoke up: "Lord Chen, Miss Qin is new here and may not be familiar with the procedures of Dali Temple. I am willing to go with her."
Chen Ning, standing to the side, thought to himself, "What do I have to say?"
And you say they're new here? Aren't you a newcomer too?
However, Le Xiuyuan had previously worked in the Ministry of Justice and had extensive experience in handling cases there. Many cases were shared between the Ministry of Justice and the Court of Judicial Review.
Moreover, this case is a theft case, which should originally be the responsibility of the Ministry of Justice. It is just right for Le Xiuyuan to go and handle the case.
So they agreed, and Le Xiuyuan, along with Qin Wanying and some other people, set off for the Yongning Marquis's residence.
Originally, Wei Hongwen was related to this case; it was his family's case, and he shouldn't have been involved in the investigation.
However, something happened in his family, so he immediately asked for leave to go home and check on things. He then went with Le Xiuyuan and Qin Wanying.
Upon arriving at the Yongning Marquis's residence, the gatekeeper went in to announce their arrival, and after a short while, they were allowed inside.
Marquis Yongning, looking anxious, came out of the house and greeted the crowd in the outer courtyard.
Yue Xiuyuan and Qin Wanying bowed to the Marquis of Yongning.
Marquis Yongning glanced at Qin Wanying, his brows furrowing slightly.
He had heard from Hongwen that a woman had been transferred to the Dali Temple to solve cases by fortune telling.
Marquis Yongning immediately felt that this was very unreliable.
They felt this encouraged superstitious and supernatural practices and scoffed at it.
He felt somewhat displeased when he saw Qin Wanying coming to investigate his family's case.
I don't know what Chen Ning was thinking, actually letting this girl investigate his family's case?
However, he knew that Qin Wanying was the daughter of the Marquis of Dingbei, and could not be offended, so he did not show any dissatisfaction.
At that time, Marquis Yongning was standing under a tree. It seemed that something was being repaired in the courtyard, and there was a lot of clanging and banging noise.
Qin Wanying's eyes flashed, and she quickly walked to the Marquis of Yongning and pulled him to the left.
After transmigrating, Qin Wanying diligently practiced martial arts and became quite strong, pulling Yongning Hou several steps to the side.
The next second, the branch above Marquis Yongning's head broke off and fell right where he had just been standing.
A large tree branch fell straight down, making a loud noise when it hit the ground.
Logically, there should be a sound when a branch breaks, but there was repair work being done in the yard, and the noise was so loud that no one noticed.
If Qin Wanying hadn't helped Marquis Yongning, he would probably have been injured.
Looking at the huge tree branch lying quietly where he had just been standing, Marquis Yongning felt a wave of fear wash over him.
Thanks to this Miss Qin, otherwise, with my old bones, I would have been either killed or seriously injured by the falling object!
"Thank you for saving me, young lady!" said Marquis Yongning solemnly.
"It was nothing, Marquis Yongning, you don't need to be so polite."
Marquis Yongning looked up. The tree was very tall, and the broken part of the branch was very high. The girl hadn't been craning her neck to look up, so how did she know the branch would fall?
Le Xiuyuan was also puzzled.
Could it be that Qin Wanying had predicted in advance that the branch would fall?
Only Wei Hongwen didn't find it strange.
He had just witnessed Qin Wanying's abilities.
In fact, Qin Wanying had just activated her ten-second precognitive ability and knew that the tree branch was about to fall, which saved Marquis Yongning.
The Marquis of Yongning asked, puzzled, "How did you know that the branch was going to fall?"
Wei Hongwen quickly replied, "Father, Miss Qin is prescient and has great abilities. I have already witnessed it at the Dali Temple."
The Marquis of Yongning felt a slight twitch on his forehead as he looked at his son's reaction.
He wasn't like this before!
When Wei Hongwen first heard that Qin Wanying was going to be transferred to the Dali Temple, he was indignant, but this is not his attitude at all!
Previously: What is Qin Wanying? Even a Tom, Dick, or Harry can work at the Dali Temple!
Now: Miss Qin has foresight and great abilities!
Sigh, not to mention my son, I'm pretty much the same. I had a prejudice against that girl before, but now she's saved me.
Le Xiuyuan went straight to the point: "Please tell us what happened, Marquis Yongning."
Marquis Yongning also became serious.
He led the group into his room and pulled an exquisite black box from under his bed.
"This jade pendant has been passed down through ten generations of my family, and our entire family cherishes it very much," said Marquis Yongning.
"Yesterday afternoon, the jade pendant was still in the box in my room. This morning, I found the box empty, and the jade pendant was gone. It must have been stolen."
Having said this, Marquis Yongning looked indignant, wishing he could catch the thief immediately.
Le Xiuyuan thought to himself that it was very likely that the crime was committed by a servant in the mansion.
But with so many servants in the mansion, which one is it?
Searching each room one by one is not very practical, and the jade pendant is small, so it's hard to say where it might be hidden.
Le Xiuyuan turned his gaze to Qin Wanying.
Actually, he came here because he wanted to see Qin Wanying's case-solving abilities firsthand.
The things Qin Wanying revealed in her thoughts were too unbelievable. He needed some evidence to prove whether Qin Wanying's precognitive abilities were accurate.
So Yue Xiuyuan spoke up, "I wonder what good plan Miss Qin has?"
Qin Wanying replied, "I need to see the servants in your household. Please summon all the servants who may have passed by your room yesterday."
Most of the servants in the manor served in the outer courtyard, and very few had the authority to approach the Marquis's bedroom.
The Marquis of Yongning immediately ordered his servants to summon more than ten people.
A dozen or so people stood in a row in the corridor outside the Marquis's bedroom.
Qin Wanying heard a baby crying loudly coming from some room in the distance.
Upon hearing the baby's cry, Marquis Yongning's expression softened. "My eldest daughter-in-law gave birth to a baby boy a few days ago. It's just the baby crying, please don't take offense."
Qin Wanying's gaze swept over each of the servants.
There were men and women, young and old, all with their heads down, looking down, appearing both respectful and somewhat frightened.
Fortunately, Qin Wanying still had enough mental energy, so she looked at their fates one by one.
I checked on eleven people, and there were no problems with any of them.
Qin Wanying felt puzzled. Could it be that it wasn't one of these people who took it?
When she saw the last person, her eyes widened.
This person has quite a few secrets!
