It was a pure black coffin with traces of water on it, quietly appearing in the middle of the road ahead. There are very few people who usually walk this road, and now there are only two people, Zhuo Qing and Aldebaran.

Zhuo Qing had fear spreading in his heart, and he wanted to scream loudly, but found that he couldn't produce any syllables in his throat.

Soon it was dark before his eyes, and he couldn't see anything.

If someone is outside, they can see that the coffin is like a river mussel opening, swallowing Zhuo Qing and Aldebaran. The coffin board made another small knocking sound, and disappeared into the path.

When the servants of the villa heard this, they came to check and saw only a trail of water on the road. I thought my ears were delusional, and I left quickly.

............

Ji Xiao and Gu Weirui went to the front hall.

The head of the county is called the head catcher, and the head of the house is called the chief head catcher, and the person who came from the yamen this time is the head catcher Yan Qi in the house. These officials like the head catcher themselves have been passed down from generation to generation, and even they have passed down more generations than some hereditary marquis and earls.

They have been in this position for a long time, so no one knows better than them who they should know and who they should know locally. Yan Qi has been the chief catcher of Cangzhou Mansion for ten years since he succeeded his father, and he has been very good at both black and white dishes in Cangzhou Mansion over the years, and is known as a god catcher.

This is not to promote him, but he is indeed worthy of the name of "God Hunt". After all, unlike ordinary head catchers, Yan Qi has not only been in charge of this business for generations, but also the most proud apprentice of Zen Master Fayun of Xiangguo Temple.

Although he has not been ordained a monk, but Fayun's kung fu with a great compassion thousand leaves, Yan Qi has already obtained the true inheritance, no matter how vicious the Jiangyang thief, over the years, none of them have been able to escape from his palm.

is such a god where the Cangzhou Mansion is located, not long after the arrival of the new prefect, he moved the merchant ships of the East Palace under his nose, and a boatload of people died cleanly, and even the strange treasures dedicated to the East Palace were gone, Yan Qi was directly called by the prefect for training for a long time, and was ordered to solve the case within ten days.

Yan Qi found all the clues that should be found, but he still couldn't find clues about the murderer, and it just so happened that his subordinates found out that the young master of the Four Seasons Villa had only returned from the dock today, and the route of Ji Xiao's return coincided with the route of the merchant ship to Cangzhou Mansion for nearly 100 miles, Yan Qi's heart moved, thinking about whether Ji Yu would be able to get clues here.

Even if you can't get clues, but Four Seasons Villa, as a major force in the rivers and lakes, is the head snake of Cangzhou Mansion, and if you ask Four Seasons Villa to help, you may be able to find some clues.

Therefore, after Yan Qi thought of it, he immediately came to the Four Seasons Mountain Villa to visit.

Ji Shan has only seen Yan Qi on the other side, it was ten years ago when Yan Qi was just the chief catcher, Yan Qi's father came down from the position of the chief catcher, held a banquet, and invited the head of Cangzhou Mansion, and Ji Shan was among them.

At that time, Yan Qi was still a high-spirited young man, and now he is in his early thirties, and he looks more and more like his father, but his martial arts are much higher than his father's.

After Ji Shan took a sip of tea, he asked, "Your father has been doing well lately." ”

Yan Qi said: "My father is fine, but my eyes have been losing sight recently." ”

After he finished speaking, Ji Shan sighed lightly.

Yan Qi immediately knew that he had said the wrong thing, and he remembered that the young master of the Four Seasons Villa was also blind. He didn't know how to remedy it, when he heard a gentle footstep, "This is Yan Qi's head catcher." ”

Yan Qi felt strange in his heart, although the footsteps were light, but the internal skills reflected were not thick, it seemed that the young master of the Four Seasons Villa was really mediocre in martial arts, and if the family business of the Four Seasons Villa fell into his hands in the future, I was afraid that it would really fall. He secretly felt sorry for Ji Shan in his heart, and then looked out of the hall.

As a result, Yan Qi almost dropped the teacup in his hand.

Because two people walked in from outside the hall, he only heard the footsteps of one person.

The owner of the footsteps was a woman, and it was naturally the handsome man beside her who spoke. But Yan Qi couldn't hear his footsteps at all. If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he would hardly have noticed such a person entering.

When the man and woman approached, Yan Qi heard Ji Xiao's breathing, which was very subtle and long. Combined with Ji Liao's silent actions, Yan Qi directly judged that Ji Xiao must be a top master.

He suppressed his shock, and looked at the girl beside Ji Xiao, who was really delicate and unique, but he always felt a little familiar.

It turned out that when Gu Rong was the prefect, Yan Qi accidentally caught a glimpse of Gu Weirui, but at that time, Gu Weirui was in good health, not as cold and poisonous as now, and his temperament had also changed, so Yan Qi didn't think about it for a while.

Ji Shan smiled and said: "Mr. Yan, this is my son, the girl next to him is my son's fiancée, and she is the daughter of Gu Rong, the former prefect." ”

Yan Qi was surprised: "It's actually Miss Gu, but she's not?"

He wanted to say that Gu Weirui hadn't passed away, how could she appear here alive again.

Ji Shan said: "This matter is a long story, if Mr. Yan wants to know, he can let his subordinates inquire, I won't go into details, now that Xiao'er has come, ask him if you have anything." ”

Yan Qi didn't come today to ask Gu Weirui how to come back from the dead, so he suppressed his curiosity and said to Ji Yu: "Ji Gongzi, it's Yan Qi below, and now I take the liberty to visit, but I have something to ask for advice." ”

Ji Yu sat not far away with Gu Weirui, and replied gently: "Mr. Yan catches but it doesn't hurt. ”

Yan Qi saw that Ji Xiao couldn't see it, but he sat on the chair freely, and couldn't help but be secretly surprised. If it weren't for the fact that this son was blind ten years ago, he probably wouldn't have been able to see that Ji Xiao was blind.

Thinking of Ji Xiao's silent actions and good internal strength, Yan Qi didn't dare to slack off, and said: "When Gongzi returned, he should have heard that a bizarre case happened today, a merchant ship docked early in the morning, everyone in it died, and the way of death was weird, I asked the servants to examine the bodies, but I didn't find any wounds on their bodies, let alone that they had been poisoned, and there was no water in their mouths and stomachs, and finally concluded that they were locked in a confined space and suffocated to death. ”

When Ji Yu heard his words, he couldn't help but think of the coffin, looking at it this way, it was indeed very likely that the merchant ship was put into the coffin and suffocated to death.

He said: "Since Mr. Yan has figured out the cause of death, what did he come to me to do, is it possible that you still suspect me?"

Yan Qi said: "Don't dare, I didn't find more clues on the ship, and I heard that Childe's ship was following behind this merchant ship, but it was only half a morning late to the dock, these people died last night, I thought that Childe returned from the waterway, did you encounter some strange things?"
