"Excuse me, can you repeat it to me again?" Long Xi's voice sounded at the right time.

The two men were startled, and when they looked up, they saw that they were a weak young man, and then they were relieved.

"What did the little brother say?" asked Lao Feng pretending to be ignorant.

"It's what the two of you just said, I heard it all, but I still have a few questions I want to ask Brother Wang. Long Xi said with a smile.

Lao Lu's expression flickered, and he said vaguely: "We didn't say anything just now, I'm afraid the girl heard it wrong, right?"

"Really?" Long Xi smiled slightly and glanced at Zhao Kaizhi.

The latter looked reluctant, but still opened his mouth and shouted: "Just now he said he ......"

"Little Ancestor, don't shout, don't shout, I can't say it!" Old Lu hurriedly pulled Zhao Kaizhi over, stretched out his big hand to cover his mouth, and hurriedly said to Long Xi.

"Then it's troublesome Brother Wang. Long Xi smiled extremely politely.

Zhao Kaizhi broke away from his hand and stared at these people angrily.

Old Lu didn't care about him, but just told him in detail about the situation that night.

After listening carefully, Long Xi asked a few more questions, confirming that the time of the incident was when Xu Ju was in Chaoyun County, and it was also the day of the squire's dinner.

But it's a pity that Lao Lu's knowledge is limited, except for the first few conversations, he doesn't know anything else, let alone whether he sees the appearance of the two, and the only breakthrough is sixteen years ago.

What happened sixteen years ago? Judging from the words of the two people, it seems that there was a large sum of money sixteen years ago, and after several people divided it, they separated, but that person still had contact with Lao Lei from time to time. Now Lao Lei didn't know who said that the amount of silver back then was wrong, and he took less, so he came to the door to ask for compensation, and the man didn't know how to deal with it, so he came to Chaoyun County to find another person to discuss.

There is also a favorable content that it was not only these three people who shared the money at that time, but at least there was another person, because the concept of death or not death was mentioned in the words of the two, it seems that the fourth person suddenly suffered a catastrophe in the process of dividing the money, of course, it is very likely that he was killed by the other three because of the uneven distribution, but the three did not see the body of the person, so it is not certain whether he died.

Now the question is, is that old Lei in that mouth, is it the first deceased Wei Ting, and is that person Xu Ju from Chaoyun County?

Long Xi inadvertently glanced at Zhao Kaizhi, who was still angry, and suddenly a white light flashed in his mind: Zhao Kaizhi said that he was fifteen years old this year, and also said that Xu Ju knew that he could no longer have children, and at that time she wondered why he couldn't have any more children. So was it something sixteen years ago that made him lose his fertility? The child in Zhao Lin's womb at that time was his only child?

Could it be that these two events of sixteen years ago were really just a coincidence? If this is just a coincidence, then the similarity between Lao Lei and Wei Ting and the relative time in that mouth are just a coincidence?

Long Xi didn't believe in the existence of so many coincidences, so she thought that person was Xu Ju nine times out of ten. But the problem is who the person he saw is, Chen Shengxiao said that he doesn't know who else he knows in Chaoyun County, and it seems that he has rarely contacted that person for so many years.

However, Lao Lu mentioned a sentence, the man said that he was drinking with Master Qin, and said that he was afraid that they would be suspicious if he went back late, it seems that the person was attending the banquet that night, could it be someone at the squire's banquet?

Now, there is still a question, is it this person from Chaoyun County that Zhao Kaizhi saw, or the fourth person who was lucky enough not to die back then? Or is it the fifth person who has not yet appeared?

Looks like she has to figure out what happened sixteen years ago.

Long Xi pondered and dragged his round belly back to Chen's mansion, Zhao Kai followed behind her silently, both of them looked preoccupied, and even Zhao Jin didn't pay attention to greeting them, and walked over directly.

Without taking two steps, Long Xi suddenly retreated, pulled Zhao Jin's sleeve and asked, "How old are you this year?"

Zhao Jin didn't seem to expect her to ask this question, and was slightly stunned before saying, "Twenty and six." ”

"Twenty-six years old, that sixteen years ago was ten years old, ten-year-old children should have an impression, didn't the ancient people all be precocious. Long Xi babbled to himself, confusing Zhao Jin.

"Miss Qin, what do you have to ask?"

Long Xi frowned and thought for a while, then pushed Zhao Kaizhi away, pulled Zhao Jin to the corner, and asked in a low voice: "Do you know that sixteen years ago, you had any big cases here, which are still unsolved?"

"Yes, and it is a big case, it happened exactly sixteen years ago. Zhao Jin said without thinking.

"What kind of case!" Long Xi immediately lifted his spirits when he heard this, and the breakthrough point of the serial murder case was about to appear!

Zhao Jin's voice was smooth, and the earth-shattering case that made the entire imperial court turn over sixteen years ago slowly appeared in front of Long Xi's eyes calmly and unwaveringly in his mouth.

In order to repair the tomb of the Tianchu Emperor in Qianyun Mountain, the emperor ordered the household department to allocate 5 million taels of silver for construction, but who would have thought that this batch of silver was robbed by thieves on the way to escort. The emperor was furious and ordered the prefect of Jiangzhou to assist the military department and the Yulin army in searching within a radius of 100 miles, but found nothing.

The case shocked the whole country, and hundreds of people were implicated in the emperor's anger. However, the imperial court searched hard, but this batch of official silver was nowhere to be found. There are marks on the bottom of the official silver, and once it circulates in the city, someone will inevitably find it, but the group of thieves seems to have only robbed this batch of silver and did not use it, so the court could not find any clues, so the delay was sixteen years.

Sixteen years ago, Guan Yin, and the conversation with those two people matched, and what they were referring to was this?

Long Xi did not forget to stare at Zhao Jin's eyes, although he was only a ten-year-old child back then, it was impossible to participate in the hijacking of the official bank, but it was impossible to confirm whether he was the heir of one of the robbers. Now he has come back to get back his family's share of the money.

But now that he observes it, his eyes are calm, and he still has a little bit of confusion about the case, and he doesn't look like he has any hidden feelings at all, and it seems that he does not have anything to do with the people involved in the case. No clever liar can be perfect, and no one can lie without revealing any flaws unless it is a split personality.

"Miss Qin, your hand ......" Zhao Jin glanced at the hands held by the two with a slight narrowness.

Long Xi let go of his hand and laughed dryly. She just held his hand to verify whether he was lying, and it is said that people's palms will sweat slightly when lying, but can she say that directly? She doesn't care about holding a man's hand, but Zhao Jin is obviously not at the same frequency as her thoughts, and she knows that he wants to go wrong by looking at the way he laughs.

Long Xi once again lamented the huge gap between ancient and modern.

"My hand is not the point, the point is that do you know the information of those robbers?" Long Xi asked seriously after adjusting his embarrassed mentality. She felt that it was really boring to ink with an ancient person on this issue, and it was better to shift the focus to the facts of the case.

Seeing her like this, Zhao Jin also picked up the slightest hint of urgency, and said with a straight face: "Sixteen years ago, I was only ten years old——"

"That's right, what can a ten-year-old know. Long Xi seemed to be asking himself, "It seems that we still have to find an older person to ask." ”

"Why didn't Miss Qin listen to me. Zhao Jin added, "This case has a great impact, and I have also discussed it with my master. According to the surviving officers and soldiers, the robbers all listened to the orders of the five men and retreated as soon as they succeeded, and by the time reinforcements arrived, the robbers had already turned into a small force and fled into the people, and they could not be found at all. ”

Long Xi held his chin and nodded: "There is a degree of advance and retreat, the arrangement is thorough, the method is very old-fashioned, either a habitual offender or a long-term plan, it is estimated that there is still an internal response in the escort team." ”

"Miss Qin thinks so too?" Zhao Jin was slightly surprised.

"Isn't it very obvious? The imperial court will inevitably send a lot of officers and soldiers to escort a large sum of silver, and the robbers can still rob it? Could it be that the imperial court's army is so bad? But I look at this imperial court is quite good, and I don't see the miserable situation of the people. Long Xi naturally said whatever he wanted, completely unaware that his words had challenged the prestige of the imperial power.

Zhao Jin was stunned for a moment, and then smiled: "Since the girls think that this court is not bad, then it is natural that the robbers have been planning for a long time." ”

"And then, does your master have any other information, especially about the robbers? Long Xi obviously didn't want to dwell more with him on this topic, she was still concerned about the five bandit leaders.

If her inference is true, then Xu Ju is likely to be one of the five, and the mysterious person that Wei Ting and Zhao Kaizhi saw should also be two of these five people.

So one of the remaining two is the one who met Xu Ju in the thatched house on the dock, and the other person will be the real murderer of this serial murder?

"Master, he was not the one who hunted down the robbers, but he had heard some details about the case when he talked to them, so how could he have known more. Zhao Jin shook his head helplessly.

Long Xi had an idea, thought of a key point, and looked Zhao Jin up and down several times before asking, "Did your master say that during the pursuit, one of the five robbers, well, was cut?"

Zhao Jin had already been looked at inexplicably by her, but now she was even more confused: "What is the explanation?"

"Of course, it doesn't necessarily mean that it was cut, but it could also be injured. Long Xi said carefully.

She thought sadly and indignantly, if this was in the face of a modern policeman like Fu Xinjie, she would be able to say that noun directly, but in the face of this ancient man who was obviously out of sync, she couldn't tell him directly even out of politeness, when would such a dumb riddle be a head!

"What does it mean?" Zhao Jin is even more puzzled, his game character setting is: pampered since childhood, courtesy, and the women he comes into contact with are all knowledgeable, gentle and graceful, where have I ever seen a modern woman like Long Xi!
