The next day, Ji Xiamo didn't sleep as he wished, and the arrival of Feng Shaojin made Ji Xiamo tossed by Aoki early. Touching the cold mattress beside him, thinking about sleeping with Jin Wuji yesterday, Ji Xiamo suddenly felt a little uncomfortable in his heart.

was carefully picked up by Aoki, no matter how unhappy Ji Xiamo was, he had to put on a smile and rush to the living room, after all, Feng Shaojin was also a dignified prince, and he naturally had to give enough face, don't wait for a bad one at that time, and then give yourself a 'click'.

Feng Shaojin's arrival this time was firstly for the Panfu case, and secondly, he brought a holy decree, Ji Xiamo knelt down to accept the decree, and listened to it drowsily. It is nothing more than a praise and relief first, and then it is to get to the point and throw a mess to him.

Feng Shaojin naturally saw Ji Xiamo's absent-mindedness and resentment, he was angry and funny, and he didn't bother to ask about the progress of the case, and followed Ji Xiamo to the dining room.

Ji Ye didn't return to the court, Ji Yikui blew the wind a few days ago, and the low-grade fever did not go away for the past two days, Su Jingyao has been guarding by the side, and the food was directly prepared indoors, so only Ji Xiamo and Feng Shaojin were left at the dinner table.

"Aoki, how is the little girl doing now?" Taking the chopsticks handed by Aoki, Ji Xiamo asked casually.

"Just when I went to deliver the food, the doctor just left, and the young lady took the medicine and fell asleep, and the servant asked the doctor behind his back, saying that it was much better."

"If you are sick, don't give too much oil to eat, and tell the kitchen to make some light side dishes, and send white porridge and liquid food."

"Yes!"

"It seems that the eldest son of Ji loves his sister very much." Feng Shaojin scooped a spoonful of green beans and put them in Ji Xiamo's bowl with a smile.

Ji Xia Mo snorted lightly, and accepted Feng Shaojin's cloth vegetables with peace of mind. "The little girl is blessed, she is sick at a young age, so why should I be a brother."

"With a brother like you to protect me, I'm afraid that no one will dare to beat Miss Ji's idea even if you look at the entire capital."

"Tsk, listening to the fifth prince say this, it seems that I am such a heinous villain."

"A wicked person is not counted, but he is not a good person."

Seeing Feng Shaojin raise his head and laugh, Ji Xiamo shook his head, if he hadn't already known Feng Shaojin's hearty character, others might have thought he was sneering.

"Childe!" A subordinate hurried in and bent over. "Little Master Qin is here."

"Hahaha!" Before the person arrived, Qin Yan strode over in a dark purple brocade robe, with a young man's uninhibited bravado between his eyebrows, as arrogant as ever. "Ji Xia Mo! My son is here, but he hasn't come out to greet him. ”

Ji Xiamo glanced at Qin Yan, and saw that the person's face was ruddy, full of energy, and his heart was completely relieved, thinking that yesterday's hurdle was probably in the past.

Hearing what Qin Yan said, Ji Xiamo was amused in his heart, picked up a steamed bun and smashed it. "I want me to pick you up and move your ancestors out!"

Qin Yan grabbed the steamed bun, took a bite of it, poked his head and glanced at the dining table, "I just said that I couldn't be hungry, my father laughed at me and asked me to bring my own dry food." ”

"Are you still here with food?" Ji Xia Mo sneered angrily.

"Grass people Qin Yan has seen the Five Princes!" Seeing Feng Shaojin, Qin Yan hurriedly put down the steamed bun and saluted respectfully.

"Don't be polite, this king is just like you today, and they are all guests." likes Qin Yan's character, Feng Shaojin didn't grasp his identity, and said with a half-mocking.

"Thank you, Lord Wang!" Qin Yan bowed and quickly sat down, and Ji Xia Mo motioned to Aoki on the side to prepare a set of dishes and chopsticks.

"Ji Xiamo, where is your guard?" Qin Yan looked around left and right and asked suspiciously.

"What's the matter? Want to dig into the corner? Being reminded by Qin Yan, Ji Xiamo remembered the cold and neat mattress this morning, and suddenly became angry.

"What are you doing so angry? I'm just asking. Qin Yanbian flattened his mouth and picked up chopsticks to stir the gruel in the bowl in front of him. By the way, where are you going today? ”

"Meet the four who survived." Speaking of the case, Ji Xiamo put down his chopsticks and frowned slightly. "There are some things I can't figure out right now, and I need to find out what happened on the night of the fire."

"Isn't the case going well?" Feng Shaojin questioned.

"Well, I just feel that something doesn't feel quite right." Ji Xia Mo thought about it, turned around and asked Aoki to send the booklet.

"Here are some of the suspicious points I found during the autopsy yesterday, the 37 corpses were charred and different, but no soot residue was found in the mouth, throat, nose, and stomach, which means that they were dead when the fire was ignited."

"And I also found that Master Pan and his second son Zhao Zikai both had a fatal wound on their bodies, and other than that, there were no injuries on the other deceased, or it can be said that there were no fatal injuries."

"It is possible that the deceased who was not fatally injured was poisoned, but what is strange to me is that Zhao Zikai's fatal part is the throat, the wound is neat and deep, it should be injured by a sharp weapon such as a sword, and it is a one-hit death. According to the information sent by the prince, Zhao Zikai has been practicing martial arts since he was a child, even if he is not deeply skilled, it is impossible to just kill him with a single blow without even the power of his backhand. ”

"Maybe the murderer is a master." Qin Yan spoke.

"That's the blame." Ji Xiamo turned a page of the booklet. "Master Pan's wound is in the left back of his head, and his skull is ruptured, which should have been caused by a heavy blow. However, the wounds were uneven, and the fractured skull was not gathered in one place. It can be seen that the murderer did not have much strength and did not know any martial arts, so he only hit continuously to kill the deceased, and the wounds were not concentrated in one place. ”

"You mean, there is more than one murderer." Feng Shaojin frowned.

"For the time being, one is a martial arts master who can kill an adult man who has been practicing martial arts since childhood. One is not even a wound that can be concentrated, and it takes continuous blows to kill a man who has no martial arts. These two criminal methods cannot be trapped in the same person in any way. ”

"In addition, there is also the fact that Lord Pan's wound is very strange." Thinking back to the wounds he saw during the inspection that day, Ji Xiamo's eyes flashed with confusion.

"Master Pan's wound is concentrated on the left back of his head, and it is tilted down from the temple ear."

"What's wrong with that?"

"I can't say it, I just feel that something is wrong, and it's always a little awkward." Ji Xiamo's fingers rubbed the corners of his eyebrows hard, feeling a little irritable.

"Don't worry." Feng Shaojin patted Ji Xia Mo on the shoulder. "Check slowly, there will always be an answer."

"By the way, there's one more point." Ji Xiamo looked up at Feng Shaojin. "According to the information, except for the thirty-seven victims and four survivors, there is one less."

"Who?"

"The maid of the youngest daughter Zhao Han'er."

"Could it be that she's the murderer?" Qin Yan poked his head and interjected.

"The truth of the case has not yet been revealed, don't just label people." Ji Xia Mo picked up the chopsticks in his hand and knocked them on Qin Yan's head, ignoring Qin Yan's bared teeth.

"But when it comes to Zhao Han'er's corpse, it's a little strange......" Ji Xiamo touched his chin and whispered.

Feng Shaojin and Qin Yan glanced at each other, indicating that their IQ was not enough. "What's weird?"

She ...... Never mind. Ji Xiamo shook his head, closed the booklet and handed it to Aoki behind him. Let's eat first, and after dinner, we'll go and meet the four surviving people. ”

Although Feng Shaojin and Qin Yan had doubts in their hearts, they still didn't continue to ask, picked up chopsticks and continued to eat. However, after talking about the corpse for a long time, no matter how good the appetite is, it is now a little tasteless.

After a meal, except for Ji Xiamo, who had no heart and lungs, Feng Shaojin and Qin Yan all ate a little reluctantly.

instructed Aoki to ask someone to boil some light medicinal porridge for Ji Yikui and send it, Ji Xiamo took Feng Shaojin and Qin Yan out of the door, and when he saw Jin Wuji waiting outside the mansion, Ji Xiamo was still a little unhappy in his heart, and ignored it with a cold face.

But it didn't take long to see that Jin Wuji was still following the wood, with an expressionless pestle, and had no intention of leaning over, Ji Xiamo's original determination to break off the friendship also slowly swayed, and then collapsed with a bang, sticking to it madly.

This morning, the sky was just bright, and the biological clock of more than ten years made Jin Wuji open his eyes on time, and saw that Ji Xiamo next to him was sleeping soundly holding his arm, Jin Wuji was worried about waking people up and didn't get up to practice swords as usual, so he lay down with Ji Xiamo until Aoki came to knock on the door, Jin Wuji quickly put on his clothes, flew out of the window, and left Ji Xiamo's room.

Knowing that Ji Xiamo was going to investigate the case today, Jin Wuji was afraid that he would miss the time, so he quickly ate and waited outside the mansion early, waiting for nearly an hour.

Waiting for Ji Xiamo to walk out with the two of them talking and laughing, looking at the happy smile on Ji Xiamo's face, Jin Wuji's cold and hard heart softened a lot, but he didn't expect that when Ji Xiamo looked at him, his originally smiling face suddenly turned cold, and he ignored him directly, and missed him expressionlessly.

Jin Wuji's hand holding the sword tightened slightly, and his originally soft heart instantly froze, and his drooping eyes were deep and cold.

Looking at Ji Xiamo's shyly little face, Jin Wuji's cold air that had been suppressed by Ji Xiamo's cold face gradually warmed up, his tense heart was also relaxed, and his eyes were a little warmer.

"Fifth prince, ...... are you" Seeing Feng Shaojin follow him into the carriage, Ji Xiamo raised his eyebrows.

"Today, this king has nothing to do, so I will go with you." Feng Shaojin bent down into the carriage and sat down opposite Ji Xiamo. "Serve as the bodyguard of the eldest son of Ji."

"Spare me." Ji Xiamo covered his face, there was a Qin Yan who dragged his feet, and there was another one who specialized in pit teammates.

"What? Can this king, when you are your guard, still wronged you? Feng Shaojin said with a smile.

"Grass people are grateful to Dade!! For my father, my grandfather, and my ancestors, thank you for the great kindness of the five princes! Ji Xiamo's mouth was lined up, and he began to babble again.

"Go! Slippery! Feng Shaojin smiled and scolded.

"Brother Jin!" Ji Xiamo turned around and hugged Jin Wuji on the side, wrinkling his face pitifully and selling cuteness. "The murderer in this case may be a martial arts master, Brother Jin, you must follow me inch by inch, I am afraid that they will provoke me to kill me."

Jin Wuji's face collapsed, he tightened the sword in his hand, and nodded solemnly.

"It's reassuring to have Brother Jin here." Ji Xia Mo looked at Jin Wuji with a smug expression.

"Xiao Mo can rest assured, as long as this king is here, he will protect you well."

"Xiao Mo?" Ji Xia Mo looked back at Feng Shaojin and smashed it.

"What? Can't you? Feng Shaojin said with a smile. This king always feels that it is a little rusty to call Ji Changgongzi all the time, so it is better to call you Xiao Mo directly. ”

Can I refuse? Ji Xiamo rubbed his arms a little uncomfortably, and the smile on his face remained unchanged. "Xiao Mo is good! It's appropriate, as soon as you hear it, it means that our brothers are good! ”

Hello buddy?

Feng Shaojin raised his eyebrows and did not refute.

"By the way, the fifth prince, I don't know where the son of the Pan family is now?" Referring to the case, Ji Xiamo thought of an important question.

"The Pan family has a house at the corner of the long street in the west of the city, and now Pan Zilong and the other three are living there, the disaster of the Pan Mansion has brought him a lot of blows, and when the Pan family is buried, he is ready to leave the capital, find a rural village to settle down, and will not come back."

"Leave the capital......" Ji Xiamo touched his chin with some meaning.

"Is there something wrong?"

"Ah, no." Ji Xia Mo smiled innocently. "It seems that I will work harder to solve this case before they leave, and give him justice."

"That's the best."
