Chapter 289: Finding a Breakthrough

The novel terms that Long Xi popped up from time to time had already opened Zhao Jin's eyes, how could he have imagined that she could still tell him that kind of thing openly? But because he hadn't seen it, he felt very fresh!

Long Xi felt that the generation gap, especially the generation gap that spanned thousands of years, was really difficult to cross, so she turned her heart sideways and leaned forward, "It's just being a eunuch, you know what it means to be a eunuch, ah?

She leaned a little, and Zhao Jin leaned back a little, as if she was afraid that her saliva would spray on his face.

That's what it meant. Zhao Jin smiled reluctantly and leaned back with great difficulty, "I haven't heard of this kind of thing, but even if there is, the master won't tell me." ”

At this time, the distance between the two was very close, Long Xi was almost lying on Zhao Jin's body, and he could smell the faint mint fragrance on his body, and her bright and transparent, black and white big eyes and blown-breakable skin were all in Zhao Jin's eyes.

The posture of the two is extremely ambiguous.

Long Xi suddenly didn't notice this ambiguous atmosphere, pursed his lips to himself, stood up straight, and cut in extreme dissatisfaction: "I know that you old-fashioned people won't pay attention to these problems." ”

The woman's fragrant fragrance disappeared suddenly, and Zhao Jin felt a trace of loss in his heart.

But he couldn't keep it, after all, the two were not familiar with each other. It's just that he didn't expect that there was such a bold woman in the world, who dared to blatantly take a man's hand, lean on the man, and ask the man this kind of question, no matter how he looked at it, it seemed to be teasing him.

But she gave people the feeling that she was so serious, there was no sense of seduction, as if what she did was indeed for the case, without any other thoughts.

In fact, Long Xi's heart is also pounding, and the good-looking man is really a demon!

At that moment just now, she felt that her mind was almost sucked in by those dark eyes, and all she thought about was how good-looking this man was, how good-looking. Fortunately, the last remaining sanity pulled her back, otherwise she doubted that she would have taken him lightly.

"Brother Song!" Zhao Kaizhi trotted over, panting, "Uncle Chen said that someone wants to see you." ”

His arrival eased the awkward atmosphere a lot, and his words also made Long Xi wake up suddenly, and those chaotic thoughts in his mind disappeared in an instant, and he asked as he walked: "Who wants to see me, is something happening?"

The two left in a hurry, completely ignoring Zhao Jin, a big living person.

Zhao Jin looked at her back and couldn't help but shake her head and smile: This is really a special woman.

Gongsun Wuming (Yan Lichuan), who was hidden in the shadows, appeared and walked up to him, and said in a deep voice, "Why did Gongzi tell Miss Qin about the robbery?"

"Sixteen years ago, there was only one big unsolved case, and almost everyone knows it here, but she wanted to come to me to ask me, showing that she really didn't know about it before, but why did she suddenly come to ask me? This can only show that she found clues about the robbery when she was investigating two murders, and I came to Juxin County for the robbery, and I was on the same path as her. That being the case, why not sell her some advantage so that we can get the information she has. Zhao Jin slowly unfolded the folding fan and said with a smile, "This woman's mind is different from ours, and she often acts out of the ordinary, maybe she has her own way to verify this case, and the information she obtains is naturally different from ours, which is just right for me." ”

"Childe isn't worried about her suspicious identity?"

Zhao Jin turned his head to glance at him and said, "Everyone knows what I said, and she can find out from others, so why should I hide it so much that I lose my trust in her?"

"Childe calculates a lot, but his subordinates are stupid. Gongsun bowed namelessly.

Zhao Jin waved his hand and did not speak.

He did tell her what he knew well, but he didn't say a word about the more detailed issues of the case, such as the specific information of the five bandit leaders. He couldn't take this risk until his identity was confirmed, after all, he came to Juxin County this time to investigate the robbery sixteen years ago, and he didn't allow any mistakes in the process.

But he was also curious, since she didn't know about the robbery sixteen years ago, how could she know that one of the bandits was stabbed in the lower body by the forbidden army during the fight?

How much did she know about the robbery, how did she know about it, and what was her true identity?

Long Xi didn't know that Zhao Jin was suspicious of her, and now her mind was full of cases, cases, and cases.

After coming to the front hall, Long Xi found a tall and sturdy man talking to Chen Shengxiao, seeing that the dress was somewhat similar to Xie Zhifeng, and he should also be a member of the public family.

"This is Brother Song, I'm Chi Jing, the head catcher of Chaoyun County. Wei Chijing's voice was hearty, without the slightest twist.

"Hello, I'm Song Xi, do you have anything to do with me?" Long Xi didn't understand why this person came, it stands to reason that the two murders occurred in Juxin County, although after the ancient autopsy, the officials of the neighboring counties would be asked to re-examine it, but she was not the coroner, what were you looking for her.

Chen Shengxiao said with a smile: "A few slow chats, I'll go to the account room first." ”

After seeing him leave, Wei Chi Jingcai said: "I was entrusted by Master Mo and Mr. Zhu to protect the girl's safety and assist the girl in investigating the case in Chaoyun County. ”

"Master Mo?

"Exactly. Although Wei Chijing wondered why she called Mo Kunlun's name, she was very clever not to ask.

"Why does he want you to come here, and what can you do for me? Long Xi continued to ask, she couldn't figure out what Mo Kunlun thought, why she entrusted someone to "protect" her for no reason, and she was not a human criminal, so she couldn't do it.

Master Mo said that this case is extremely dangerous, Brother Song must not act rashly, in case anything happens, he must return to Juxin County as soon as possible, and do not delay here. Wei Chijing replied truthfully.

His words made Long Xi even more sure that the two existing deceased were two of the five bandit leaders back then, thinking that Mo Kunlun had also found relevant evidence in Juxin County, and he was afraid that the murderer would be unfavorable to her, so he asked Wei Chijing to protect her.

It seems that this kid is not so unkind. Long Xi raised her lips and smiled, but when she thought that he had beaten her ten boards, she was angry: Don't think that this little favor can buy me, I will definitely avenge the revenge of these ten boards!

"Wei Chijing, right, did Master Mo say what he found?" Although Long Xi complained a lot about Mo Kunlun, he still felt that the current focus was on serial murders, anyway, it was not too late for the gentleman to take revenge for ten years, "Is there any news from Zhu Xingyi's side?" I left too quickly and didn't see his autopsy report!"

Although Wei Chijing felt that this woman was rude, he still patiently answered her question for the sake of Mo and Song's faces: "Lord Mo never mentioned these things, but asked me to tell the girl to be careful." ”

Seeing that he couldn't ask anything useful, Long Xi gave up and continued to ask questions, and after chatting with Wei Chijing for a few words, he went back to the room. Wei Chijing will also live in Chen's Mansion recently, until Long Xi returns to Juxin County, and his room is next door to Long Xi.

Zhao Kaizhi didn't say a word from beginning to end, Long Xi followed him when he left, and it wasn't until she went back to the room and was about to close the door that she found that this kid had no intention of leaving.

"Stinky boy, what's wrong with you?" Long Xi saw that his expression was gloomy, and he seemed to be hesitating when he stood at the door, so he pulled him into the room and closed the door.

Zhao Kaizhi was silent for a long time before he spoke: "Brother Song, is my father's death very involved?"

Today, he followed Long Xi and heard a lot of news, such as the robbery sixteen years ago, although he was not born at that time, but how could he not have heard of this kind of unsolved shocking case? Intuition told him that his father was definitely related to this case.

"Uh......" Long Xi said, how could she explain to him that his father was very likely to be the robber of the robbery that shocked the government and the opposition back then, and how could she tell him that his father was most likely sought revenge by his accomplices because of the uneven distribution of spoils? If this kind of case is adjudicated, will it be confiscated according to the laws of this dynasty?

Raiding the house and exterminating the family?

Long Xi was taken aback by this word, if it was really found out that Xu Ju was a robber, then Zhao Kaizhi's life was also in danger?

Although this kid is a little tsundere and has a bad temper, he was still in his mother's belly back then, and he didn't know anything, so he was also responsible for this incident?

"Seriously, I don't know, because the case has not been resolved, and it is too early to say anything. Long Xi pondered for a long time, and decided not to directly express her suspicions, but only to make the existing things clear to him, after all, until the last moment, she didn't know what the truth was.

"Also, I don't even know if there will be a third deceased. The murderer is in the dark, we are in the light, and all his actions are not clear to us. Instead, our every move is exposed to his sight. So we can't mess around with everything ourselves, and wait until the murderer is caught, you know?"

Zhao Kaizhi's gaze changed and changed, and finally became firm: "I know Brother Song, no matter what, I must first find out the murderer of my father, and other things can be relieved first." ”

Long Xi patted him on the shoulder with satisfaction and said with a smile: "That's right, you go back to the room to rest first, I'll rest first." ”

Zhao Kaizhi nodded and turned to leave, not forgetting to close the door for her.

The moment the door closed, the smile on Long Xi's face disappeared, replaced by a solemn look.

said that she wanted to study the laws of this era, but one thing after another, she didn't have time to read the relevant books. She didn't know whether this crime would implicate her family, and if so, how she would be sentenced.

This sense of powerlessness caused by ignorance of the stripes of the law had not patronized her for a long time.

Long Xi shook his head vigorously, shook off the feeling of powerlessness and opened the door, striding out.

She was going to find Chen Shengxiao and ask where the dinner party was held that day, who the participants were, and who were the shopkeepers surnamed Qin in Chaoyun County.

In this way, she can deduce whether the person who met Xu Ju that night was the person from the squire's dinner, and then narrow down the scope of the investigation.

If the mountain doesn't come, she will go to the mountain. Since the murderer wanted to stand still, she took the initiative to attack and forced him to show up. Since Mo Kunlun would entrust Wei Chi Jing to protect her, it means that he also thinks that the murderer is very likely to be in Chaoyun County.

When he saw Chen Shengxiao, Long Xi left a hand, and did not say that he was here to investigate the case, but said that since he came here, he should know some local squires and rich people, so as not to accidentally offend the local big family and cause unnecessary trouble during the investigation.

Chen Shengxiao, who learned of her intention, smiled and expressed his understanding, and introduced to her the celebrities in the county very seriously. Long Xi memorized those names and pretended to be unintentional to inquire about who had attended the banquet that day.

Chen Shengxiao did not doubt him, and told everything he knew, he not only told the people who attended the banquet that night, but also told several interesting things about the banquet, which made Long Xi feel excited.

The name of one of the squires surnamed Qin caught Long Xi's attention.

That person's name is Qin Fusheng, the family has some land, when he was young, he was a jinshi, but he resigned and went home after a few years of being an official, and the Qin family is also a famous family in Chaoyun County. On weekdays, he would assist the county warden in mediating some minor disputes, and he was very respected in the local area.

Apart from him, there was no second person surnamed Qin at the banquet.

Long Xi decided to use him as a breakthrough.

Early in the morning of the second day, Long Xi took Zhao Kaizhi to visit this Qin Fusheng. The day before yesterday, she had asked Chen Shengxiao to help her hand over the prayer post, so it was easy to see him in person now.

Qin Fusheng is a spirited old man, he was very enthusiastic when he saw Long Xi and Zhao Kaizhi, and asked his subordinates to send a lot of snacks and snacks, beckoning the two of them to eat this and that.

However, the two of them had just had breakfast, and they were really not blessed to consume this plate of food, so they only got to the point after a symbolic little bit.

From Qin Fusheng's memories, Long Xi knew that he did drink a lot of wine that night, and he did pull others to drink a lot of wine, but because there were too many people, he didn't remember who they were. However, he remembered that the person he poured the most wine was a cloth merchant named Wang Fulai in this county, and in the end, the person couldn't stand it and urinated directly, causing everyone present to laugh.

"This guy is so funny, he was so scared that he away. Long Xi laughed and said, "Then what about later, he was able to hide for a while, but he couldn't hide for a lifetime, did he come back later?"

Of course he had to come back before the feast was over, but that would be half an hour later. Qin Fusheng was very happy to have such a little character to chat with him, so he was also very open to talking, "The banquet is set up in the Zhuangyuan Building, just near the Jinhe, we laughed at him if he went to the painting boat to find a girl to sober up before coming back." ”

After speaking, he felt that it seemed a little inappropriate, after all, Long Xi was a little boy, so his old face was red, and he smiled embarrassedly: "This, you see what my old mouth says, little brother, don't take it to heart." ”

"It's okay, it's okay, you go on, it's interesting. Long Xi didn't feel anything, and looked at him with a smile.
