What Qi Wanli is best at is not fighting, not calculating, not studying cheats, but solving cases.

It's what he does, and it's what he's been doing for many years, every morning when he opens his eyes and closes them in the wee hours of the morning.

Once he enters the state of solving the case, his brain will speed faster than usual by more than ten percent.

"That's right, how Xiao Si leaves the Yan Mansion is the most critical point. There is a high probability that this involves other related characters, maybe someone helped her escape, maybe it was arranged by Yan Kai at all, maybe Xiaosi is not stupid at all, everything is pretended, no matter which one it is, there are traces to follow. Hehe...... It seems that there is no need to be stupid to look for clues in the garden. ”

Qi Wanli smiled slightly, turned around, and looked at Yan Baichuan, who had arranged tea and fruits.

"Strict housekeeper. He smiled slightly: "It's hard work." ”

"It should. Yan Baichuan smiled reservedly: "I don't know if Dean Bai has any other orders?"

"There are a few. Qi Wanli walked to the stone table where the fruit and tea were placed and sat down, and said, "Can you tell me about the layout of the Yan family?" I don't even know where my room is, and I'm afraid that I won't be able to find my way in the future. ”

Yan Baichuan smiled and said, "Of course. We have two buildings here, the big one belongs to the lord and them, the guest rooms are also here, and there is a small building on the side, which is where we people live, so Dean Bai doesn't have to care. ”

"The building has four floors, the first floor is mainly the living room, dining room, ancestral hall, the second and third floors have guest rooms, terraces, public library rooms, etc., and the fourth floor is the rooms of the second and fifth masters, as well as their respective study rooms. In addition, there is a wine cellar and armory underground, and there is a special martial arts arena on the other side of the garden......"

"Dean Bai, where you live, is on the third floor on the far left, that is our largest guest room, equipped with three maids, Dean Bai can ask for anything at any time. ”

Qi Wanli said "Oh?" and said with a smile: "Any request is okay?"

Yan Baichuan nodded with an unchanged smile: "Any request is fine." ”

"Hehe, Uncle Xiaoguo really has a heart, but the dean is not that interested, hahaha. Qi Wanli laughed and said, "By the way, except for Uncle Xiaoguo in the Yan Mansion now, are the others there? I also want to visit." ”

Yan Baichuan shook his head: "The eldest master has been traveling abroad for many years, and the second master has official business to do recently, and he is not in Beijing. The third lady is in the palace, and the fourth lady is ...... Alas. ”

Seeing him sigh, Qi Wan did not change his color, and his face darkened slightly, and said: "I heard Uncle Xiaoguo's matter about the fourth young lady, it is indeed a pity." ”

"Fourth Miss is not in a good life. Yan Baichuan didn't say much, but shook his head again.

Qi Wanli knew that now that he had just met the old housekeeper, it was not appropriate to talk more about sensitive topics, so he didn't go deeper, changed the topic, and instead asked Yan Kai some innocuous things.

"Hey, Dean Bai, what are you talking about?"

After a while, Yan Kai, who had changed into a daily casual outfit, walked briskly.

"Uncle Xiaoguo, talk about you. Qi Wanli said with a smile: "I heard that Old Butler Yan said, you are not married yet?"

"Hey, what are you talking about!" Yan Kai blushed and glared at Yan Baichuan in embarrassment.

Yan Baichuan was not afraid, and said with a smile: "Fifth master, you should also find a good match for yourself." ”

"Go, go, why don't you pester the second brother. Yan Kai sighed, sat down opposite Qi Wanli, and said: "My eldest brother hasn't been home for many years, and the second brother also plays with women every day and doesn't get married, Uncle Baichuan doesn't care about them, just stares at me every day, you say it's annoying." ”

Qi Wanli laughed.

After a few words, he said to Yan Kai: "By the way, Uncle Xiaoguo, why didn't you see Wang Lu and Bao Youwei for them?"

"They'll be late, but they'll be there before lunch. Yan Kai said: "You really made a good show for our Yan family this time, and I will reward you with some good things alone in a while!"

"Hey, I'm ashamed. ”

Qi Wanli shook his head and smiled bitterly: "I accidentally led that group of hellfire spiders to the top of the mountain and caused a mess, the nobles shouldn't blame me, right?"

Hearing the words "Hellfire Spider", Yan Kai's legs subconsciously swayed.

But he covered it up well, coughed twice in embarrassment, and said with a smile: "How come, you didn't mean it, we all watched, you first desperately killed the mutant thousand-pupil ape, and then fought with eleven iron corpses, it has already reached the limit, it is already very powerful to escape from the encirclement of that group of hellfire spiders, in that case, you want to hide next to the mountain road and the top of the mountain, and hide in when it gets dark, that is also a normal idea." ”

"It's just that I didn't expect that even the formation laid out by the national teacher himself would have weak points, and he was accidentally drilled into by the fire spider. But if there is finally a national teacher in charge and no casualties, then it will be fine. You see, aren't we all in love with each other?"

"That's good, that's good. Qi Wanli breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Then according to the experience of Uncle Xiaoguo, what kind of honor can I get this time?"

"At least a baron, there is a high probability that there will be a fief. Yan Kai laughed.

"Oh?" Qi Wanli's eyes lit up.

"However, the fiefdom should not be too big. Yan Kai said: "If you can have a field of property, it is the best, you can have a stable source of income." ”

"Then do I need to stay in the fiefdom?" Qi Wanli earnestly asked.

"Well, it's up to you. Yan Kai said: "I know that your Xiaoyao Academy is located in Yuhai, but Yuhai is the capital of Xichuan Province, and there are naval divisions stationed there, so only the prince can be sealed there." By the way, it is a fief belonging to the King of the West Sea, he is the emperor's brother, and he is usually in the capital, now that you have a title, you can find a chance to visit him. If you don't want to stay in the fiefdom, you can write an application to the imperial court and bear part of the monthly and annual salaries of local officials, even if you ask them to help you take care of the fiefdom. ”

"I see. Qi Wanli suddenly realized, and asked a few more questions about the fiefdom.

After the conversation began, he rolled his eyes and threw out a new topic.

"By the way, Uncle Xiaoguo, I still have a question. He drank tea and asked: "When I returned to the hotel last night, there was a catcher who came to the door to interrogate, saying that he wanted to check a woman, I put a few words, it seems that the woman they are checking is the maid mentioned by the uncle of Xiaoguo last time, could it be that the maid returned to the capital?"

Of course, this is a lie.

"Oh, have you found out where Dean Bai lives?"

Yan Kai was also stunned and said: "That's the case, my third sister seems to have gotten news recently, saying that someone saw the maid enter Beijing, so she began to investigate in the capital." By the way, there seems to be your name in the news, Dean Bai, saying that on the day when Jinyiwei found out about the maid's haunt in Jian'anyi, you were also there and took some silver tickets. ”

"Oh, Jian'an Station. Qi Wanli didn't panic at all, and said with a smile: "I have an impression when you say that." The last time I asked Uncle Xiaoguo, it was because I met Jinyiwei who said that he was investigating the Yan family's case in Jian'anyi. I don't know what happened there that day, there was a small earthquake, I was afraid that it would not be safe to stay, so I took some silver tickets and left, but I didn't expect that the maid was near me at that time?"

"yes. Yan Kai now trusts Qi Wanli very much, and said like a bean as he spoke: "Jinyi Wei found that the maid was with a man, and called two upper rooms at the Jian'an Yi Inn, but I didn't expect the two to disappear after the earthquake. We suspect that it was the brocade guard who was not tight-lipped that leaked the news and was known by the maid, so she took advantage of the chaos and fled. ”

"She ran away, but she fled to the capital?" Qi Wanli raised his eyebrows.

Yan Kai was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and said, "Yes, I also think it's a little strange, why ......"

"That's it, Uncle Xiaoguo. Qi Wanli looked at him and said: "If this matter bothers the Yan family so much, it is better to leave it to me to investigate, I am not boasting in vain, there are still some special means, I am very good at finding people." ”

"Really?" Yan Kai was overjoyed, and then muttered: "This kind of thing, it's not good to trouble Dean Bai?"

"It's nothing. Dean Bai said with a smile: "I and my Xiaoyao Academy want to rise all the way in the Shuo Dynasty, and we have to rely on the uncle of the small country and the queen mother to support more, this little thing is just a gesture, as long as we can share the worries of the Yan family, this is nothing." ”

Yan Kai nodded, but did not agree immediately, but thought for a moment.

Qi Wanli knew that he was considering whether he could be trusted.

"Do you want to add another fire and make him believe in himself? Forget it, it's too deliberate, it's unnecessary. It's better to let him make his own decisions, and I can see something in his own attitude. ”

Qi Wanli secretly asked Dark Yuan to turn on the lie detector mode to observe Yan Kai's emotional changes when he spoke.

Finally, after a long time, Yan Kai nodded again: "Okay, Dean Bai, then I'll trouble you." ”

From the scanning results of the dark element, it can be seen that Yan Kai did not disguise, he really thought about it for a long time, made a lot of psychological struggles, and finally made up his mind to believe in it once.

Qi Wanli smiled: "Before I start, I have a question I want to ask Uncle Xiaoguo...... In other words, what should I do if I find her?"

Yan Kai frowned and thought for a while, then said, "Dean Bai, I will treat you as my own person, so I will say it directly. If she is willing to cooperate, you can notify our Yan family, or bring her back to the Yan family yourself, you can do it, and we will handle the rest ourselves. If she ...... I mean, if, if she is used by someone else's intentions to be unfavorable to my Yan family, then ...... That ......"

Qi Wanli saw that he couldn't say the word "kill" for a long time, so he asked lightly: "Then kill her?"

Yan Kai sighed and nodded.

Through the dark element, Qi Wanli can judge that this is Yan Kai's true thoughts.

"It seems that Xiaosi's escape from Yan's Mansion was not Yan Kai's arrangement, he was really willing to let her die, but he was soft-hearted...... Wait, this is?"

Just when Yan Kai nodded, Yan Baichuan, who was standing behind Qi Wanli, had a sudden acceleration in his heartbeat, and at a very fast speed, he glanced at Qi Wanli, and his eyes were full of murder!

Although it is less than a fraction of a second, and the person is behind him, it has been undoubtedly revealed to the dark element that can observe the subtle changes of everything around him, and it can even repeatedly play the picture of that moment to Qi Wanli to watch slowly.

"Hmm, I heard that I was going to kill Xiaosi, this old housekeeper Yan, is so excited?"

Qi Wanli's eyes lit up, the breakthrough, it turned out to be here!
