Ji Xiaoxi lay in the dormitory for two days, and she felt more and more that Xiao Qi's death was a little strange.

It is certain that Xiao Qi definitely did not die of natural causes, but there was no one else in the villa that day, except for himself and the housekeeper, there were only two servants who had been in the Xiao family for many years.

None of these people could hurt Xiao Qi.

Could it be that when no one was noticed, an outsider from the Xiao family came in and killed Xiao Qi?

Ji Xiaoxi was shocked by his sudden thought, but it was not impossible to think about it carefully.

Although no one entered the gate of the Xiao family, did the Xiao family have another passage?

At this time, the housekeeper called Ji Xiaoxi: "Miss Ji, is it convenient for you to talk now?"

"Uncle housekeeper, it's convenient for me, what's wrong?"

The housekeeper sighed: "The funeral of the eldest young master is scheduled to be held at eight o'clock in the morning the day after tomorrow, let me ask you if you would like to attend?"

Although Ji Xiaoxi and Xiao Qi are not husband and wife, the two are nominal husband and wife after all, no matter what level they start, Ji Xiaoxi should go to Xiao Qi's funeral.

"Of course I want to go, but Xiao Ruoyan's ......" Ji Xiaoxi hesitated, Xiao Ruoyan's attitude towards himself that afternoon was obvious, and he might never want to see him again.

The housekeeper said, "Don't worry, Miss Ji, you can participate, I will tell him about the little master." ”

"Okay, by the way, Uncle Butler, I want to ask you something. ”

"You say. ”

"Is there a secret passage or a small door in the Xiao family?"

Ji Xiaoxi asked tentatively, she wanted to see if her idea was valid.

The housekeeper thought for a while, and suddenly seemed to think of something: "There is really a secret passage, Miss Ji, if you don't say it, I will almost forget about it." ”

"Where's the secret passage?"

"It's in the eldest young master's room, which is an escape passage specially left when the old mansion was built!"

The housekeeper also understood what Ji Xiaoxi meant: "Miss Ji, do you suspect that someone entered the eldest young master's room through a secret passage and killed the eldest young master?"

"In my guess, there is only this one possibility, Uncle Housekeeper Xiao Ruoyan is in the villa this afternoon?"

Ji Xiaoxi felt that he still couldn't have a positive contact with Xiao Ruoyan, and with Xiao Ruoyan's current temper, he wanted to kill himself.

Xiao Qi is the most important person in Xiao Ruoyan's heart, and no one can replace this.

The housekeeper replied, "The little master is working in the company today, and he shouldn't be coming back." ”

"Uncle housekeeper, then I'll go back in the afternoon, I want to go with you to find that secret room. ”

Ji Xiaoxi said what he thought.

When the housekeeper heard that Ji Xiaoxi was coming back, he hesitated for a moment, after all, Xiao Ruoyan had said that Ji Xiaoxi would never be able to return to the Xiao family.

But the housekeeper understood that it was also a means for Xiao Ruoyan to protect Ji Xiaoxi, and only by keeping Ji Xiaoxi away from the Xiao family would she not have to go through these rights and wrongs.

"Okay, Miss Ji, come over early in the afternoon. The butler admonished.

It was only one o'clock when Ji Xiaoxi arrived at Xiao's house in the afternoon, and the housekeeper looked at Ji Xiaoxi hurrying over, and hurriedly asked worriedly, "Miss Ji, have you eaten?"

Ji Xiaoxi nodded: "After eating, don't worry, Uncle Housekeeper." ”

"Where is that secret room?" Ji Xiaoxi asked directly.

The housekeeper motioned for Ji Xiaoxi to go with him, and the two of them came to Xiao Qi's room.

This is the first time Ji Xiaoxi has come to Xiao Qi's room after Xiao Qi's death.

Although Xiao Qi always lay on the bed when he was alive before, but now that there is no one in this room, he looks lifeless.

Ji Xiaoxi looked at the bed with white sheets and various instruments, and his heart was desolate.

Tears crossed the corners of Ji Xiaoxi's eyes.

She wiped away her tears as quickly as possible, but the butler still saw it.

"Miss Ji, don't be sad, I was also very sad at first, but thinking about the fact that the eldest young master had to take so many medicines every day and receive so many instruments for diagnosis and treatment when he was alive, it was also a very painful thing. ”

"I went to another world as the eldest young master, where I lived a happier life, at least there was no torture of illness. ”

The housekeeper looked at the room where Xiao Qi used to live and said sentimentally.

"The Chamber of Secrets is here. The housekeeper pointed out the location of the bookshelf in Xiao Qi's room to Ji Xiaoxi.

Ji Xiaoxi looked in the direction of the bookshelf and saw that there was indeed an entrance to a secret passage after the bookshelf was pushed open.

"If you hadn't reminded me, I'd almost forgotten that there was this secret passage. The housekeeper explained to Ji Xiaoxi.

"This secret passage was specially built to prevent accidents when the old mansion was first built, and no one has used it for many years. ”

Ji Xiaoxi looked into the secret passage and found that there were indeed footprints at the entrance of the secret passage, and if she was not mistaken, it should be the footprints of high heels.

"Uncle butler, look. Ji Xiaoxi pointed out the footprints of the high heels on the ground to the housekeeper.

The housekeeper was shocked when he saw it: "This ...... Has anyone really come to the eldest young master's room through a secret passage?"

"Now it seems that this is the case, who else knows about the secret passage of Uncle Butler?"

The housekeeper shook his head: "Only the old man and us old servants should know, even the eldest young master himself doesn't know very well." ”

"As long as you find out who came to Xiao Qi's room through the secret passage, you can know who killed Xiao Qi. Ji Xiaoxi thought calmly.

Ji Xiaoxi looked up at the time, it was almost three o'clock, and she couldn't stay in the Xiao family for too long, so she had to entrust the housekeeper: "Uncle housekeeper, you should know where the other end of the secret passage is, right?"

The butler nodded: "I know this." ”

"Uncle housekeeper, then please look for the surveillance near the exit at the other end as soon as possible during this time, and see if you can find a suspicious person. ”

Ji Xiaoxi made up his mind that he must find the real murderer of Xiao Qi, not only to clear his grievances, but also to give an explanation to the dead Xiao Qi.

The housekeeper agreed to Ji Xiaoxi's request, and his starting point was the same as Ji Xiaoxi's.

Ji Xiaoxi kept thinking about the footprints of the high heels on the way back to A University.

Under what circumstances would someone wear high heels on something like a secret passage?

Ji Xiaoxi returned to the dormitory with questions, and Xue Qing felt a little strange when he saw that Ji Xiaoxi looked like he was out of mind.

"Xiaoxi, what's wrong with you?"

"Xiaoqing, what situation do you say, there will be people who are still wearing high heels when their lives are in danger. ”

Xue Qing heard it and said without thinking: "That must be wearing high heels every day, I like to wear high heels, and it may be too late to change." ”

Ji Xiaoxi silently wrote down Xue Qing's words.
