……
"Why did you suddenly run out of water?" Second Master Ji, Third Master Ji, Ji Xiaotang and Qi Younian sat in the study together, and Ji Xiaotang asked.
This is not only Ji Xiaotang's question, but also the common question of everyone here.
Master Ji San and Qi Younian talked about the scene at that time. It turned out that Master Ji San went to look for Qi Younian, and Qi Younian wanted to go to Rouge Lane to inquire. And by the time the two of them arrived at Rouge Lane, the fire had already burned, and they couldn't be rescued at all.
After the investigation, the fire started at Wang's house. Because the fuel was found at the fire site, it was concluded that the water was not an accident, but a deliberate arson.
All the members of the Wang family were burned to death, no one survived, and the neighbors were also implicated, in addition to the loss of property and injuries, one person from each of the two families next to the Wang family was burned to death.
The scene of the fire was very tragic, and Master Ji San and Qi Younian didn't say too much detail when they were afraid of Ji Xiaotang's mood.
But even so, Ji Xiaotang was still deeply shocked, and she could almost imagine the scene at that time.
"Are you sure that the Wang family was burned to death?" Ji Xiaotang asked again.
Qi Younian came to Qingyuan this time, ostensibly for other official business, but in fact, he was secretly investigating He Ming and Qingyuan County. He Ming's death, and Xie Zhixian's judgment later, Qi Younian was not easy to interfere in order to avoid startling the snake. That's why he went to Rouge Lane to check afterwards.
And Rouge Lane walked the water, and Qi Younian and Master Ji San appeared at the scene. The two only said that they were going to Rouge Lane to drink, which coincided with their meeting. Although Qi Younian can't take this case to his own hands to investigate. But he also seized the opportunity and took people to investigate the scene with Master Ji San.
Ji Xiaotang suspected that someone was killing people in the water in Rouge Lane, and Qi Younian also had the same suspicion. So he carefully examined the corpses of the Wang family.
Although the body is no longer recognizable, it is not difficult to tell whether it was burned or not.
"Xiaotang, I was asked by you about the point." Qi Younian glanced at Ji Xiaotang and looked approving. He had slit the throat of the corpse and was able to preliminarily conclude that the people of the Wang family did not die in the fire, but before the fire ignited. It's already gone.
As for how the people of the Wang family died, they have to wait for the yamen to conduct an autopsy before making a specific conclusion.
Because Qi Younian was present, he said his judgment in front of everyone in the county government. I wasn't worried that the people in the yamen would cover up the truth.
"All the people in the Wang family are dead?" Ji Xiaotang nodded, and then asked again.
"The number of corpses is correct, but ......" Qi Younian paused slightly, "because the corpses are already unrecognizable." You can't jump to conclusions. Xiaotang. What are your thoughts? ”
Ji Xiaotang asked this, there must be some reason.
"I think maybe someone in the Wang family is not dead." Ji Xiaotang said slowly, "We can be sure that He Ming's death was arranged by someone to kill people and kill people, right?" ”
Qi Younian and the others all nodded. This is almost 100% confirmed.
"Then, the people of the Wang family may have seen something. Or maybe they're accomplices. "That's why there was the fire that followed, and all the Wang family died in the fire, which is still killing people.
The murderer is thoughtful and vicious, and he treats human life like a mustard.
"If the Wang family is an accomplice, or if one or some of them are accomplices, is it possible that the murderer will leave the life of this accomplice?" Ji Xiaotang then analyzed.
"This possibility cannot be ruled out." Qi Younian thought about it and said.
"Jiang Qingshan has been covering Wang Jiaoer for many years, and Wang Jiaoer has helped him do a lot of things. If it was Jiang Qingshan who planned to exterminate the mouth, it was possible to leave Wang Jiao'er. Master Ji San said, and specially explained to Qi Younian the matter between Jiang Qingshan and Wang Jiao'er.
"That's right!" Qi Younian immediately seized this clue, "I will arrange for someone to pay attention to Wang Jiao'er's body to see if there are any flaws." ”
After a few people discussed for a while, Qi Younian stood up and wanted to leave.
He Ming's matter he couldn't interfere in, but in the matter of Rouge Lane, he could excuse himself by saying that he was present at the time to express his special concern. Qi Younian is planning to go to the Yamen to inquire about the news.
"Ayou, He Ming died like this, is the clue on your side broken?" Ji Xiaotang also stood up and asked Qi Younian.
Qi Younian nodded solemnly with a solemn expression on his face.
He had just locked the clue on He Ming's body, and before he could investigate further, He Ming died. The clue that was finally caught was broken like this.
Qi Younian did not sue Ji Xiaotang, although this is the first time such a thing has happened in his hands, it is not the first time it has happened. The other party is cunning, fierce, and without the slightest drag, he is the most difficult opponent Qi Younian has faced so far.
"I'll keep looking for it." Qi Younian sued Ji Xiaotang.
For the sake of He Ming, he made such a big move, which shows that the other party is also in a hurry. It also shows that he has found the right direction.
"Ayo, you have to be careful." Ji Xiaotang instructed Qi Younian again.
Qi Younian glanced at Ji Xiaotang deeply and nodded.
Qi Younian went to the county office, and the second and third masters were not idle. Ji Xiaotang was sitting at home, and new news kept coming.
The people of the Wang family did not die, and there was also Wang Xing'er who escaped by luck because she had not lived in the Wang family for a long time. Because of this, Wang Xing'er was called to the county government to identify the bodies of the Wang family.
Wang Xing'er identified Wang Jiao'er's body, and Wang Jiao'er also died in the fire. Wang Xing'er is really the only survivor.
As for the fire in Rouge Lane, although it has been determined that someone deliberately set it on fire, the county government has no clue who did it. Xie Zhixian therefore released a red list reward, although it provided a not low reward, but no one cared.
This case has become another unsolved case.
Qi You has been in Qingyuan for a few days, and He Ming is dead, the clues are interrupted, and his investigation has entered a stalemate. In order to avoid suspicion, Qi Younian had to temporarily return to Fucheng.
Before leaving Qingyuan, Qi Younian naturally came to Jifu to say goodbye.
Second Master Ji's attitude towards Qi Younian has changed greatly, and if he doesn't talk about Qi Younian's life experience, Second Master Ji won't mention it again. Qi Younian also got a chance to say a few words to Ji Xiaotang.
"I'll continue to follow up on other clues when I go back this time. Xiaotang, the Xie family's suspicion has not been lifted, you must be very careful when interacting with the Xie family. "When mentioning the Xie family in front of Ji Xiaotang, Qi Younian always tries to avoid mentioning Xie Huaijin.
However, this time the separation was imminent, and although Qi Younian hesitated, he finally brought up the topic.
"Xiaotang, I know that you and Xie Huaijin ....... You are sure in your heart that he will not harm you, but he is the son of Xie Zhixian, and sometimes, many things will be involuntarily. Even if he doesn't know anything about it and doesn't have any intention of harming you, he can be taken advantage of. Xiaotang, to Xie Huaijin, you can't be unguarded. ”
Qi Younian and Xie Huaijin are almost rivals in love now, and it is easy to be misunderstood when talking about Xie Huaijin like this. However, Qi Younian couldn't help but say that he was worried that Ji Xiaotang would be blinded by emotion and would be found by others.
Ji Xiaotang didn't speak for a long time.
Xie Huaijin is the entanglement in her heart. Because of her previous life, she almost blindly believed in Xie Huaijin and felt a responsibility to Xie Huaijin.
However, she still told Qi Younian in person that between her and Qi Younian, no matter what the two of them think, they are always inseparable from the influence of the two families. So here in Xie Huaijin, in fact, the truth is the same.
Xie Huaijin is Xie Zhixian's son after all.
She couldn't promise Qi Younian, but she was obsessed with Xie Huaijin, which in itself was contradictory. In other words, this comparison is very unfair to Qi Younian.
"Brother Huaijin......" Ji Xiaotang sighed softly.
No matter how things develop in the future, one thing Ji Xiaotang is sure of. Xie Huaijin has a mellow nature, she will not hold a grudge against Xie Huaijin because of Xie Zhixian and the Xie family, she and Xie Huaijin will never turn against each other.
Not only that, but she will also work hard to spend the rest of her life with Xie Huaijin.
"Xiaotang, you ......" Qi Younian looked at Ji Xiaotang, his face was no longer light, "Affectionate, but thin." ”
Ji Xiaotang knew that Qi Younian was complaining, complaining that she was too affectionate to Xie Huaijin, but too affectionate to him.
"Ayou, between you and me, no matter how things change in the future, I will always treat you as a good friend. I would like to promise you the Mid-Autumn Festival and the moon, as a friend. Ji Xiaotang looked at Qi Younian.
"Okay." Qi Younian hesitated slightly, but nodded, "Xiaotang, I will remember your words, but this does not mean that I will give up." ”
"Ayou, you won't stay in Ren'an forever. When things change, you will have different ideas. Ji Xiaotang said.
"No, it won't." Qi Younian shook his head solemnly.
Ji Xiaotang smiled and did not argue with Qi Younian on this issue.
"Ayou, this is for you." As Ji Xiaotang spoke, he took out a brocade box from his sleeve.
Qi Younian took the brocade box and opened it, and it was the ancient book "Seeking War" that Ji Xiaotang once mentioned.
"Xiaotang, this book is priceless, do you really want to give it to me? Does your daddy know? Qi Younian asked.
"The value of the city should also be used to the fullest. Ayou, I conclude that you are the general star of Great Qin, and you will definitely be. …… Naturally, I got my father's approval for sending you this book. He also wants you to put the book to good use. ”
"Okay, then I'll take it." When Qi Younian heard Ji Xiaotang say this, he didn't be polite anymore, but carefully put the brocade box close to him.
Qi Younian left Qingyuan and returned to Fucheng, and the ginkgo tree in the Ji family's courtyard finally dropped its last yellow leaf.
"Xiaotang, do you know where Wang Xing'er is now?" Master Ji San asked Ji Xiaotang. Qi Younian's departure does not mean that the Ji family has also given up the investigation of the Rouge Lane fire.
"Could it be ......" Master Ji San asked strangely, and Ji Xiaotang had a guess.
"Yes." Master Ji San nodded immediately.
