Rebirth of Ghost Eye Shou Ye

This..." Ji Xiamo scratched his ears, pondering. "Go and see the corpse first, then meet the four survivors, and talk about the matter in general. "
"That's right." Ji Xiamo said again as if thinking of something. "I need a map of the Pan Mansion. Who lives in each house, every flower, every tree, every brick and every tile is clear. Finally, there is the most detailed information on everyone in the Pan Mansion. Up to the master, Down to the cook, there must be no servants."
"Okay! My king ordered someone to sort it out and send it to you soon. What else do you need?"
"Gone."
"So, I will enter the palace later."
"I'll go back home to pack some things, and then I'll go to the Ministry of Criminal Justice to look at the corpse."
The two left Pan's residence to say goodbye, Feng Shaojin hurried into the palace, Ji Xiamo took Jin Wuji and Qin Yan into the carriage and rushed back to the prime minister's residence.
In an invisible corner, a girl about thirteen or fourteen years old in a red dress leaned against the wall, happily kicking pebbles on the ground.
The short hair that just reached the neck was scattered on both sides of the cheeks, the pale and round chin was cold without a trace of blood, and the red lips were raised, showing innocent and lovely.
A string of bells hung on the waist, and three bone jades, white as human bones, with bloodshot eyes, made a crisp sound of 'jingle bells' in a bleak ruined wall.
[Text No.30 Episode [-], Brother Jin, let’s sleep together]
Ji Xiamo hurried back to the Prime Minister's Mansion to get some things, and hurried out of the house without staying for long, heading straight for the Ministry of Punishment.
Feng Shaojin's side was considered quick, and quickly delivered what Ji Xiamo wanted.
Lord Pan currently has two wives, one wife and one concubine.
There is a son in the main room, named Zhao Zikai.The concubine's room has been in Pan's house for two years, but she has never been pregnant.
In addition, Master Pan has a son and a daughter.
Pan Zilong is the eldest son of the Pan family, and his biological mother died of illness when he was young.
The other daughter is Zhao Han'er, who had a relationship with a servant girl in the mansion after Mrs. Pan got drunk many years ago. Later, the maid was sent back to her hometown, but it was unexpected that the maid was pregnant at that time.
Five years later, the maidservant passed away, and an old woman, also a kitchen mute who survived the fire, brought Zhao Han'er, who was only five years old, to Pan's residence.After confirming their identities, the Pan family is so big that they can't afford to keep their mouths open, and because Zhao Han'er is not a man, the two wives didn't talk too much.
Zhao Han's son's mother's family is humble, and his name has not been rectified, and no one outside knows that there is another young lady in the Pan family.The people in the mansion called out to be master on the surface, but behind the scenes, they were just an outsider with no name or distinction.
Ji Xiamo flipped through the information in his hand, and had a general understanding of the situation. With a clue in his mind, he took Qin Yan and Jin Wuji to the Ministry of Punishment. With Feng Shaojin's token, the guards naturally did not dare to stop them. Greeting him with a good voice, he took Ji Xiamo to the morgue.
Ordering the guards to stay outside and not to follow in, Ji Xiamo stepped forward and pushed open the wooden door. Suddenly, a stench came over his face. Ji Xiamo quickly covered his nose with the bone fan in his hand, and frowned.
"Well, what does it smell like!" Qin Yan covered his mouth and nose and backed away again and again, his stomach was overwhelmed and he wanted to vomit.
Ji Xiamo didn't even look at Qin Yan, opened the folding fan in his hand, and tiptoed to fan Jin Wuji in front of Jin Wuji. The faint scent of pollen lingered in front of his nose, dispelling the disgusting smell of burnt corpses.
Jin Wuji looked down at Ji Xiamo, Ji Xiamo grinned and showed two rows of small white teeth, Jin Wuji's heart warmed and the coldness in his eyes dissipated.
Seeing that there was not much discomfort on Jin Wuji's face, Ji Xiamo retracted the bone fan to cover his nose, turned around and entered the morgue.
Neat wooden beds were placed in the closed room, and rows of corpses were displayed.
Ji Xiamo walked around the room, looked at the name on the bedside sign, and casually lifted the white cloth from the corpse.
A smell of burnt corpse oil mixed with a rotten smell rushed towards him. Ji Xiamo stood up and frowned.Qin Yan turned pale even more, covering his mouth to suppress the nausea in his stomach.
Ji Xiamo glanced roughly at the charred corpse, covered the white cloth again, and looked back at Qin Yan and Jin Wuji. "What I'm going to do next is probably beyond your tolerance, you go out first, and leave it to me here."
Jin Wuji frowned slightly, took two steps forward and stood in front of Ji Xiamo, and raised his sword hand a little.
Ji Xiamo raised his head and looked at Jin Wuji's cold side face, feeling a lot of pressure.
"Ji Xiamo, what do you mean! Is this young master the kind of villain who runs away?" Qin Yan was upset, and let go of the hand covering his mouth with a cold snort, wanting to save face and suffer.
"Today, my son will spend time with you here, just do whatever you want!"
Seeing that one of the two was struggling and the other really didn't care, Ji Xiamo didn't waste his time talking, reached out to take the small bag in Jin Wuji's hand, and handed a tray to Qin Yan instead.
"What are you doing?" Qin Yan was a little puzzled when he took the tray handed over by Ji Xiamo.
"Since you don't want to leave, give me your hand." Ji Xiamo took out a pair of sharp and delicate scissors and knives from her bag, and placed them on the tray one by one.
"By the way, Brother Jin." Ji Xiamo turned and handed a booklet and a pen to Jin Wuji. "Help me remember the information of my autopsy later."
"it is good."
"Ji Xiamo, what exactly do you want to do?"
"Since you're here to die, please be quiet." Ji Xiamo opened the first corpse, holding a scalpel in his hand, and in an instant, his entire body changed.Changed from the past sloppy and rogue appearance, replaced by a depressive heaviness and seriousness.
Ji Xiamo picked up a scalpel, gave Qin Yan a sideways glance, and said in a nonchalant voice, "If you dare to make a sound to disturb me later, I'll cut you open!"
After Ji Xiamo finished speaking, he didn't care whether Qin Yan understood or not, and turned to look at Jin Wuji, "Brother Jin, are you ready?"
Jin Wuji nodded silently, opened the booklet in his hand, and picked up the brush.
Ji Xiamo walked up to the corpse and carefully checked every part from top to bottom without missing a single one.
The slender and soft fingers slid all the way down the neck of the corpse, and finally stopped at the stomach of the corpse.Ji Xiamo frowned and pressed around, flipped the scalpel in his hand, and slowly cut open the stomach of the deceased under Qin Yan's terrified and Jin Wuji's astonished eyes.
The morgue is sealed on all sides, isolating the sunlight from the outside, so the inside of the mortuary looks a little dark and frighteningly depressing.
The dull cutting sound was very clear in the quiet morgue at this time, making people creepy.
Naturally, Ji Xiamo couldn't dissect each of the 37 corpses. Except for Mr. Pan, his two wives and two sons, Ji Xiamo only carefully checked the bodies of the other servants and servants. .
Ji Xiamo skillfully walked among the corpses, Qin Yan followed behind stiffly holding a tray, and Jin Wuji's subordinates kept recording every word Ji Xiamo said
Time passed little by little, and when Ji Xiamo covered the last corpse with a white cloth, the sun outside had already set.
Ji Xiamo threw the scissors and tweezers into the tray in Qin Yan's hand, seeing the stench and filth on his hands, a look of disgust flashed in his eyes.
Ji Xiamo wiped his hands with a towel, shook his sore waist and walked to Jin Wuji's side. "How about Brother Jin? Have you written it all down?"
"Exactly." Jin Wuji closed the booklet in his hand, glanced at Ji Xiamo's hand, and said softly, "Finished the inspection?"
"En! It's almost burnt, and there's not much to see, but..." Ji Xiamo's eyes darkened as he thought about the doubts he had just discovered.
"Go and wash your hands." After Jin Wuji said, he turned around and walked out the door first.
"Hey! Brother Jin, wait for me!" Ji Xiamo was taken aback, then threw the towel on the plate in Qin Yan's hand, and chased him out yelling.
With a livid face, Qin Yan stared stiffly at the towel in the tray in his hand, not missing the suspicious small piece of minced meat.The screams in the stomach were overwhelming, and Qin Yan finally couldn't bear the pain he had been suppressing. He rushed out of the room quickly, knelt under a tree in the yard, and vomited wildly with his neck stuck.
Being carried by Jin Wuji, Ji Xiamo almost took off a layer of skin from his hands, and managed to relieve the coldness on Jin Wuji's face a lot.
Ji Xiamo hooked Jin Wuji's arm and walked over with a smile, and immediately saw Qin Yan who was spitting out of life.I wanted to say something provocative, but when I saw Qin Yan's livid face and pale mouth, Ji Xiamo couldn't bear it a little more.
The young master who came out of the wealthy mansion, it's not bad for him to last this long. I think he almost vomited to death in the toilet when he touched the corpse for the first time.
"Hey, are you okay?" Ji Xiamo walked up to Qin Yan and patted him on the shoulder.
"I can't die." Qin Yan wiped the corners of his mouth, unsteadily propped himself up, and pushed Ji Xiamo's hand away angrily.
"It's getting dark, go and clean it up. I'll treat you to dinner, my lord." Seeing that people were still moving, Ji Xiamo was relieved, shaking his bone fan and laughing heartlessly. "I drank some porridge in the morning. Young master, I'm so hungry that I'm about to die."
Seeing that Ji Xiamo's face remained unchanged, and her smile was the same as before, Qin Yan didn't want to lose face, so he braced himself and left the yard of the morgue with his head held high.
After Qin Yan finished cleaning up, Ji Xiamo informed the guards, and took Jin Wuji and Qin Yan out of the Ministry of Punishment.
They hadn't eaten for a day, and the three of them were really hungry, so they didn't care about the class, so they randomly found a passable restaurant on the street and went in to take a seat.
Qin Yan sat on the chair with his head propped half dead, while Jin Wuji sat upright as always, without squinting.After a day of exhaustion, Ji Xiamo didn't bother to look at the menu, so he directly asked Xiao Er to pick up the dishes and put them on the table.
Ji Xiamo leaned on the back of the chair, holding the booklet in one hand, rubbing his chin with the other and frowning in thought.
Originally thought that this case was nothing more than a vendetta, but now it seems that it is a mess, and people can't find a clue.
Ji Xiamo recalled some suspicious points in Pan's residence, and slowly matched up with the suspicious points found in today's autopsy, but none of them could be connected together.
Ji Xiamo's brows were furrowed tighter and tighter, and he felt his head was in a mess, and his whole head hurt badly.
One hand pulled away the booklet from Ji Xiamo's hand across the table. Ji Xiamo's face turned cold, and just about to swear, she met a pair of deep and steady black eyes.Ji Xiamo choked when it reached his mouth, and swallowed hard again.
"Brother Jin, I haven't finished watching yet." Ji Xiamo complained dissatisfiedly.
Jin Wuji calmly put the booklet away in his arms, took out a pair of chopsticks and sent them to Ji Xiamo, and said softly, "Eat."
Ji Xiamo took the chopsticks, only to realize that the food had already been served.Ji Xiamo grinned, quickly picked up a chicken leg, and sent it to Jin Wuji's bowl in a smug manner, coquettishly, "Brother Jin has been busy all day, eat a chicken leg to make up for it."
Jin Wuji looked at the chicken legs in the bowl, and was silent for a moment, then picked up a piece of chicken and sent it to Ji Xiamo's bowl, his voice was low and reassuring. "Have a meal."
"Okay! Thank you Brother Jin!" Ji Xiamo narrowed his eyes with a smile, and the two rows of small white teeth were particularly dazzling.Jin Wuji lowered his eyelids, hiding the fleeting smile in his eyes.
"Qin Xiaoyan, aren't you hungry?" Ji Xiamo held a meatball in his mouth and saw that Qin Yan didn't move his chopsticks, raised his chin and said vaguely.
Qin Yan raised his head and glanced weakly at the food on the table. Thinking of the dismembered corpses, Qin Yan felt nausea again in his stomach.
"Ji Xiamo, can you still eat?"
"Why can't I eat it?" Ji Xiamo deliberately took a red braised meatball and shook it in front of Qin Yan's eyes, and bit off half of it with an 'ahhh' sound. "I've been hungry all day, it tastes delicious."
"Hmm!" Qin Yan opened his eyes wide, seeing Ji Xiamo deliberately chewing the braised meatballs loudly, his stomach churns, and he couldn't help it any longer, and ran out, covering his mouth and crawling.
Ji Xiamo shook his head and sighed, "Young, you can't hold your breath~~~"
When Ji Xiamo ate half of the plate of braised pork, Qin Yan finally walked back with his weak body and trembling legs.
"Ji Xiamo, you are a monster." Qin Yan lay down on the table and glared at Ji Xiamo angrily.
Ji Xiamo pursed her lips and snickered, and pushed a bowl of porridge over. "I know you're too uncomfortable to eat, Nuo, I asked someone to cook you a bowl of porridge, and you haven't eaten all day."
Looking at the white porridge pushed by Ji Xiamo, Qin Yan was taken aback. Looking at Ji Xiamo's face full of smiles, for some reason, something hit his chest, and his whole body was crispy.
Perhaps Qin Yan's gaze was too straightforward, Jin Wuji frowned slightly, a trace of displeasure flashed in his eyes, and his aura also dropped.
Jin Wuji stretched out his hand to pick up the porridge, and put it firmly on Qin Yan's face. Qin Yan was startled by the muffled sound, and quickly came back to his senses, looking straight at Jin Wuji in a daze.
"Eat!" Jin Wuji pierced Qin Yan with a pair of black eyes, and his flat voice suppressed the turbulent air-conditioning. Qin Yan only felt a chill in the back of his head, couldn't help shrinking his head, quickly picked up the bowl on the table, and buried his head in drinking. Get up, as cute as a little mouse.
Ji Xiamo stared at this scene dumbfounded, Jin Wuji withdrew Qin Yan's unfriendly gaze, turned to look at Ji Xiamo, and said coldly, "Hurry up and eat!"
"Yes!" Shocked by Jin Wuji's shock, Ji Xiamo quickly picked up the small bowl and shoveled it into his mouth.
After drinking and eating, the three of them left the restaurant, and it was completely dark at this time.
Ji Xiamo found a carriage for Qin Yan, paid the money and ordered it to be taken to the general's mansion, and the two sides said goodbye.
"Qin Xiaoyan, if you feel that you can't stand it, you can rest at home tomorrow and don't follow me." Seeing Qin Yan's pale face, Ji Xiamo felt a little bit off.
"Who said I can't stand it?" Qin Yan raised his chin, and glared at Ji Xiamo with momentum. "I will look for you tomorrow, don't even think about leaving me behind!!"
After Qin Yan finished speaking, he dropped the curtain and ordered the coachman to go on his way.
Watching the carriage drifting away, Ji Xiamo rubbed his chin and smashed his mouth. "This is a typical case of wanting to save face and suffering, and seeking abuse for nothing."
Qin Yan had also left, and Ji Xiamo rubbed his sore eyes, turned around and opened his hands to Jin Wuji, looking pitiful, "Brother Jin, the carriage is so bumpy, can you go home with light work?"
Jin Wuji switched the sword in his hand to his left, hugged Ji Xiamo's waist without saying a word, and jumped onto the roof.
"Brother Jin~~~" Ji Xiamo hooked Jin Wuji's neck with both hands, she didn't seem to notice Jin Wuji's stiff body, and rubbed affectionately on Jin Wuji's neck.
Jin Wuji hugged Ji Xiamo's hand tightly, and whispered in a deep voice, "Don't think about this case when you go back, take a good rest."
"Brother Jin, let's sleep together."
"..." Jin Wuji
"I touched so many corpses today, I'm so scared~~~~~" Ji Xiamo hugged Jin Wuji's neck, sniffling pitifully.
Well!It's chilly, like an ice cube, and it doesn't sweat when you hold it. It's a natural mobile air conditioner.
"Brother Jin?"
"..."
"Jin~~brother~~~"
"Don't make trouble." The voice was as soft as a low sigh, spreading out in the wind, like an illusion.
"Brother Jin, I can't sleep, or I'll stay up all night to sort out the case." Poor.
"Bullshit."
"Brother Jin, you don't love me anymore."
"..." Jin Wuji
"Brother Jin, Brother Jin, Brother Jin~~~Brother~~~~~"
"……Only this one time."
"No problem! Brother Ai Jin, okay~~~~~"
If there is one, there are two, and if there are two, there are three.Honesty is nothing, these two words are not in his dictionary.
[Text No.30 Episode [-] The Arrival of Feng Shaojin]
The next day Ji Xiamo didn't sleep in as he wished, and the arrival of Feng Shaojin made Ji Xiamo tossed by Aoki early.Feeling the cold mattress beside him, thinking about sleeping with Jin Wuji yesterday, Ji Xiamo suddenly felt a little uncomfortable.
After being picked up carefully by Aoki, Ji Xiamo had to put on a smile and rush to the living room no matter how upset, after all, Feng Shaojin is also a dignified prince, so naturally he has to give enough face, don't be alone at that time If the service is not good, give yourself a 'click' again.
Feng Shaojin's arrival this time was firstly for the case of Pan's family, and secondly, she brought an imperial decree. Ji Xiamo knelt down to accept the decree, and felt drowsy after hearing it.It was nothing more than some praise and relief first, and then it got to the point, throwing a mess to him.
Feng Shaojin naturally saw Ji Xiamo's absent-mindedness and full of resentment, he was angry and funny, and did not rush to ask about the progress of the case, and followed Ji Xiamo to the dining room.
Ji Ye did not return to court, Ji Yikui had a wind blowing a few days ago, and she had a low-grade fever for the past two days, Su Jingyao had been watching by the side, and the meals were directly prepared indoors, so only Ji Xiamo and Ji Xiamo were left at the dinner table. Feng Shaojin.
"Qingmu, how is the little girl now?" Ji Xiamo asked casually after taking the chopsticks from Aoki.
"When I went to deliver the food just now, the doctor had just left, and the lady took the medicine and fell asleep. The slave asked the doctor behind his back, saying that she was already much better."
"If you are sick, don't give them food that is too gassy. Tell the kitchen to cook some light side dishes, and send white porridge and liquid food."
"Yes!"
"It seems that Master Ji loves his sister very much." Feng Shaojin scooped up a spoonful of green beans and put them into Ji Xiamo's bowl with a smile.
Ji Xiamo clicked her tongue softly, and accepted Feng Shaojin's cloth dishes with peace of mind. "Little girl is blessed, and I have a lot of illnesses at a young age, so I, as a brother, should think about it."
"With an older brother like you protecting her, no one in the entire capital would dare to think about Miss Ji."
"Tsk, listening to what the fifth prince said, it seems that I am such a heinous villain."
"Evil people are not counted, but they are definitely not good people."
Seeing Feng Shaojin throwing her head up and laughing, Ji Xiamo shook her head. If she hadn't already understood Feng Shaojin's straightforward character, someone else might think he was sneering.
"My lord!" A servant hurried in and bowed. "Young Master Qin is here."
"Hahaha!" Arriving before the sound of anyone arriving, Qin Yan strode forward in a dark purple brocade suit, with a youthful unruly flamboyance between his brows, as arrogant as ever. "Ji Xiamo! I'm here, but I haven't come out to greet you yet."
Ji Xiamo glanced at Qin Yan, seeing that his face was rosy and full of energy, he was completely relieved, thinking that yesterday's hurdle must have passed.
Hearing what Qin Yan said, Ji Xiamo was amused, picked up a steamed bun and threw it at it. "I want my young master to pick you up and move your ancestors out!"
Qin Yan grabbed the steamed bun, took a bite cheerfully, poked his head and glanced at the dining table, "I said I'm not hungry, my father still laughed at me and told me to bring my own dry food."
"Are you still waiting for the meal?" Ji Xiamo snorted angrily.
"Cao Min Qin Yan has met the Fifth Prince!" Seeing Feng Shaojin, Qin Yan quickly put down the steamed bun and bowed respectfully.
"You don't need to be too polite. Today, this king is just like you, a guest." Feng Shaojin liked Qin Yan's character, and said with a half-toned smile.
"Thank you, my lord!" Qin Yan bowed and quickly sat down. Ji Xiamo motioned to Aoki who was beside him to prepare another set of bowls and chopsticks.
"Ji Xiamo, where's your guard?" Qin Yan looked around and asked suspiciously.
"What's the matter? Want to poach a corner of the wall?" After being reminded by Qin Yan, Ji Xiamo remembered the cold and neat mattress this morning, and immediately became angry.
"Why are you so angry? I'm just asking." Qin Yan pouted, picked up the chopsticks and stirred the gruel in the bowl in front of him. "By the way, where are you going today?"
"Go and meet the four survivors." Speaking of the case, Ji Xiamo put down his chopsticks and frowned slightly. "There are some things I can't figure out now, and I need to understand what happened that night of the fire."
"Is the case not going well?" Feng Shaojin asked.
"How should I put it, I just feel that something is not quite right." Ji Xiamo thought for a while, then turned around and asked Aoki to deliver the brochure.
"This is some doubts I found during the autopsy yesterday. The 37 corpses were charred to varying degrees, but no soot residue was found in the mouth, throat, nose, and stomach, which means that they were already dead when the fire was lit. .”
"And I also found that Mr. Pan and his second son Zhao Zikai had a fatal wound on their bodies. Other than that, the other deceased had no wounds on their bodies, or in other words, no fatal wounds."
"The deceased who did not have fatal injuries may have been poisoned, but what I am surprised about is that Zhao Zikai's fatal place was his throat. The wound was neat and deep. It should have been injured by a sharp weapon such as a sword, and he was killed by a single blow. According to the information sent by the prince, Zhao Zikai has practiced martial arts since he was a child, even if he is not deep in his studies, it is impossible for him to be killed in one blow without even having the power to backhand."
"Maybe the murderer is a master." Qin Yan said.
"That's the blame." Ji Xiamo opened the booklet. "Mr. Pan's wound is on the back of the left head. The skull is broken. It should be hit by a heavy object. But the wound is uneven, and the fractured skull is not concentrated in one place. It can be seen that the murderer is not strong and does not know any martial arts. , that's why the continuous blows can kill the dead, and the wounds are not concentrated in one place."
"You mean that there is more than one murderer." Feng Shaojin frowned.
"For the time being, I think this way. One is a martial arts master who can kill a grown man who has practiced martial arts since childhood. The other is that the wounds are not even concentrated in one place. It takes continuous blows to kill a man without martial arts. Men. These two criminal methods cannot be pinned on the same person no matter what."
"In addition, Master Pan's wound is very strange." Recalling the wound that he saw during the examination that day, Ji Xiamo's eyes flashed with confusion.
"Master Pan's wound is concentrated on the back of the left head, with the temple and ear slanting downward."
"What's wrong with that?"
"I can't tell, but I just feel something is wrong. It's always a bit awkward." Ji Xiamo rubbed the corners of her eyebrows with her fingers, feeling a little irritable.
"Don't worry." Feng Shaojin patted Ji Xiamo's shoulder. "Check slowly, and there will always be an answer."
"By the way, there is one other thing." Ji Xiamo looked up at Feng Shaojin. "According to the information, apart from 37 victims and four survivors, there is one less person."
"Who?"
"Young daughter Zhao Han'er's personal maid."
"Is she the murderer?" Qin Yan poked his head and interjected.
"The truth of the case has not been revealed yet, so don't label people casually." Ji Xiamo picked up the chopsticks in hand and hit Qin Yan on the head, ignoring Qin Yan's bared teeth.
"But when it comes to Zhao Han'er's corpse, it's a bit strange..." Ji Xiamo rubbed his chin and murmured softly.
Feng Shaojin and Qin Yan glanced at each other, expressing that their IQ is not enough. "What's strange?"
"She...forget it." Ji Xiamo shook his head, closed the booklet and handed it to Aoki behind him. "Let's eat first, let's meet the four surviving people after dinner."
Although Feng Shaojin and Qin Yan were puzzled, they still did not continue to ask, picked up the chopsticks and continued to eat.But after talking about the corpse for a long time, no matter how good the appetite is, it is a bit tasteless now.
After a meal, except for the heartless Ji Xiamo, Feng Shaojin and Qin Yan all ate a bit reluctantly.
After instructing Qingmu to make some light medicinal porridge for Ji Yikui, Ji Xiamo took Feng Shaojin and Qin Yan out the door, seeing Jin Wuji waiting outside the mansion, Ji Xiamo was still a little upset, He ignored him with a cold face.
But after a while, seeing that Jin Wuji was still following the wood, with a blank expression on his face, and had no intention of approaching, Ji Xiamo's original determination to break up the relationship slowly wavered, and then collapsed, clinging madly past.
It was just dawn this morning, Jin Wuji opened his eyes punctually due to the biological clock of more than ten years, saw Ji Xiamo beside him sleeping soundly with his arms in his arms, Jin Wuji was worried that he would not wake him up as usual After getting up to practice sword, he just lay down with Ji Xiamo until Aoki came to knock on the door, then Jin Wuji quickly put on his clothes, flew out of the window, and left Ji Xiamo's room.
Knowing that Ji Xiamo was still going to investigate the case today, Jin Wuji quickly ate his meal in fear of running out of time, and waited outside the mansion early, waiting for nearly an hour.
When Ji Xiamo came out with the two talking and laughing, seeing the cheerful smile on Ji Xiamo's face, Jin Wuji's cold heart softened a lot, but he didn't expect that when Ji Xiamo When Mo looked at him, his smiling face suddenly turned cold, he ignored him, and passed him blankly.
Jin Wuji's hand holding the sword tightened a little, his originally soft heart froze instantly, and his lowered eyes were deep and cold.
Looking at Ji Xiamo's mean little face, Jin Wuji's air-conditioning, which had been suppressed because of Ji Xiamo's cold face neglect, gradually warmed up, his tense heart relaxed, and there was a little warmth in his eyes.
"Fifth Prince, what are you..." Seeing Feng Shaojin follow her into the carriage, Ji Xiamo raised her eyebrows.
"The king is free today, so I'll go with you." Feng Shaojin bent down and got into the carriage, and sat down opposite Ji Xiamo. "As the bodyguard of Young Master Ji."
"Forgive me." Ji Xiamo covered his face. It's enough for Qin Yan to hold back, and another one is specially designed to trick his teammates.
"What? Is this king wronging you for being your bodyguard?" Feng Shaojin smiled.
"Grassmen are grateful!! On behalf of my father, my grandfather, and my ancestors, I would like to thank the Fifth Prince for his great kindness!" Ji Xiamo started chattering incoherently.
"Go! Glib tongue!" Feng Shaojin scolded with a smile.
"Brother Jin!" Ji Xiamo turned around and hugged Jin Wuji who was beside him, frowning and looking pitifully cute. "The murderer in this case may be a martial arts master. Brother Jin, you must follow me every step of the way. I'm afraid they will provoke them and kill me."
Jin Wuji's face collapsed, he tightened the sword in his hand, and nodded solemnly.
"Brother Jin is here, so I feel at ease." Ji Xiamo looked at Jin Wuji obsessively, shivering with complacency.
"Xiao Mo, don't worry, as long as I am here, I will protect you well."
"Xiao Mo?" Ji Xiamo turned her head to look at Feng Shaojin, smashing her mouth.
"What? Can't you?" Feng Shaojin smiled. "I always feel that it's a little strange to always call Mr. Ji, so why don't you just call you Xiaomo."
Can I say no?Ji Xiamo rubbed his arms uncomfortably, the smile on his face remained unchanged. "Hello, Xiaomo! It's so apt, just hearing it means we are good friends!"
How are you guys?
Feng Shaojin raised her eyebrows and did not refute.
"By the way, Fifth Prince, where is Mr. Pan's parents?" When mentioning the case, Ji Xiamo thought of an important question.
"The Pan family has a house at the corner of Chang Street in the west of the city. Pan Zilong and three other people are living there now. The catastrophe of the Pan family has hit him hard. He is going to leave after the Pan family is buried. In the capital, find a rural village to settle down, and will not come back."
"Leave the capital..." Ji Xiamo touched his chin with some meaning.
"Is there anything wrong?"
"Ah, no." Ji Xiamo smiled innocently. "It seems that I have to work harder to solve the case as soon as possible before they leave, and give him justice to the Pan family."
"So best."
[Text No.30 Episode [-] Pan's House]
A group of people noisy along the way arrived at Pan's house at the corner of the long street in the west of the city. Feng Shaojin's face was familiar, and the task of knocking on the door was naturally pushed by Ji Xiamo. Feng Shaojin had no choice but to condescend The one adjusted the brocade robe, and the appointed one went to the door of Pan's residence and knocked on the door.
It was a man in his 40s who opened the door. He opened the closed door a crack, looked at the people suspiciously, and his voice was hoarse. "who are you?"
Seeing that Ji Xiamo and Feng Shaojin seemed to have no intention of opening their mouths, Qin Yan rubbed his nose and leaned over, raised his chin like a dog, with his nostrils turned upwards and looked like a dog, making him blind. "This is the current Fifth Prince, who is here to investigate the case of the Pan Mansion under the orders of the Holy Majesty!"
"My lord!?" The man was startled, he quickly opened the door, and knelt down to worship. "The grass people see the prince, but they don't know the prince's driving. I hope the prince will forgive me if I am rude."
"No problem." Feng Shaojin waved his hand. "Young Master Pan is at home now."
"Here! Caomin will take the prince there." The man got up, bent over and turned sideways to signal.
Feng Shaojin nodded slightly, and looked back at Ji Xiamo. Ji Xiamo withdrew her gaze from the man, concealing the gloom in her eyes, and followed Feng Shaojin into Pan's residence with a smile.
Walking in the compound of Pan's house, Ji Xiamo looked around without a trace.Although the Pan Mansion has been defeated, the Pan Mansion is not as luxurious as the original mansion, but compared with ordinary people, it can be considered wealthy.
Ji Xiamo looked at the man leading the way, walked quickly a few steps and stood side by side with him, with a kind smile on his face. "I don't know how to call it?"
"Li Zhi, a grassroots man, is the steward of Naipan's residence."
"I wonder if the butler can describe to me the situation that day in detail." Ji Xiamo slowed down, and Li Zhi glanced at Feng Shaojin behind him, hesitated, and slowed down.
"It's my lord's birthday in Japan. My lord held a family banquet in the hall. I was in a good mood after drinking a few more glasses, so I rewarded the servants in the mansion with a few jars of wine. The servants were greedy and forgot the rules for a while, and ended up getting drunk , I didn't expect that later..." Speaking of this, Li Zhi shook his head and sighed, wiping the corners of his eyes with his sleeve.
"I don't know where the housekeeper was on the day of the fire?"
"Because the grass people caught wind and cold for two days, they were unwell, so they lay on the bed and rested. At night, they felt thirsty, but no one answered when they called, so they groped and got up, only to see a red color outside the window. The grass people were terrified. He ran out without even bothering to put on his shoes, shouted loudly, but no one showed up, and in the end he could only watch Pan's mansion burn to ashes."
Ji Xiamo thought in his heart, but patted Li Zhi's shoulder with his hand. "Congratulations."
During the conversation, several people came to the living room, and Li Zhi took two steps back and bowed respectfully, "Sirs, please wait here for a while, Caomin will go to inform the young master."
Ji Xiamo nodded and smiled back. After Li Zhi left, Ji Xiamo began to carefully look at the living room.
A woman in rough clothes came in stoopingly, carefully served tea for the four of them, and then turned to leave.
"Wait!" Ji Xiamo called out to the woman, but the woman stopped and said nothing, because her head was buried so it was difficult to see her face clearly
Ji Xiamo walked up to the woman, stroked his chin and thought for a moment, then suddenly bent down and squatted down, his eyes were on the woman's face.
Frightened by Ji Xiamo's suddenly enlarged face, the woman backed up and fell to the ground with a scream. Her eyes looked at Ji Xiamo in horror, her whole body trembling like chaff.
Ji Xiamo clicked his tongue lightly, touched his face, and looked back at Feng Shaojin beside him. "Am I ugly?"
"It's not ugly." Feng Shaojin sat on a chair beside her and played with the wrench on her thumb. Hearing Ji Xiamo's question, she suddenly laughed.
"Mute, what are you doing here?" With a soft drink, a handsome young man strode towards him from outside. Presumably this person should be Pan Zilong, the eldest son of the Pan family.
Seeing Pan Zilong come in, the dumb woman hurriedly knelt down, shrinking her body timidly.
"Leave quickly." Pan Zilong shouted, the dumb woman kowtowed again and again, and quickly exited the living room.
"The grass people see the fifth prince. I don't know the prince is so good, but I hope to forgive me!" Pan Zilong cupped his hands and bowed to Feng Shaojin. The free and easy gestures he made were somewhat similar to Feng Shaojin. Good impression.
"It's nothing, it's because I didn't notify you in advance." Feng Shaojin put down the teacup in his hand and signaled to Ji Xiamo who was beside him. "This is Young Master Ji of the Prime Minister's Mansion. He is ordered by the Emperor to investigate the case of the Pan Mansion."
"Investigate the case..." Pan Zilong was startled, seemingly puzzled.
"According to the autopsy investigation, there are many suspicious points in this case. It is by no means an accident. It may be caused by others."
"What!" Pan Zilong exclaimed, retreating again and again, with a handsome face
"That's right." Ji Xiamo said again as if thinking of something. "I need a map of the Pan Mansion. Who lives in each house, every flower, every tree, every brick and every tile is clear. Finally, there is the most detailed information on everyone in the Pan Mansion. Up to the master, Down to the cook, there must be no servants."
"Okay! My king ordered someone to sort it out and send it to you soon. What else do you need?"
"Gone."
"So, I will enter the palace later."
"I'll go back home to pack some things, and then I'll go to the Ministry of Criminal Justice to look at the corpse."
The two left Pan's residence to say goodbye, Feng Shaojin hurried into the palace, Ji Xiamo took Jin Wuji and Qin Yan into the carriage and rushed back to the prime minister's residence.
In an invisible corner, a girl about thirteen or fourteen years old in a red dress leaned against the wall, happily kicking pebbles on the ground.
The short hair that just reached the neck was scattered on both sides of the cheeks, the pale and round chin was cold without a trace of blood, and the red lips were raised, showing innocent and lovely.
A string of bells hung on the waist, and three bone jades, white as human bones, with bloodshot eyes, made a crisp sound of 'jingle bells' in a bleak ruined wall.
[Text No.30 Episode [-], Brother Jin, let’s sleep together]
Ji Xiamo hurried back to the Prime Minister's Mansion to get some things, and hurried out of the house without staying for long, heading straight for the Ministry of Punishment.
Feng Shaojin's side was considered quick, and quickly delivered what Ji Xiamo wanted.
Lord Pan currently has two wives, one wife and one concubine.
There is a son in the main room, named Zhao Zikai.The concubine's room has been in Pan's house for two years, but she has never been pregnant.
In addition, Master Pan has a son and a daughter.
Pan Zilong is the eldest son of the Pan family, and his biological mother died of illness when he was young.
The other daughter is Zhao Han'er, who had a relationship with a servant girl in the mansion after Mrs. Pan got drunk many years ago. Later, the maid was sent back to her hometown, but it was unexpected that the maid was pregnant at that time.
Five years later, the maidservant passed away, and an old woman, also a kitchen mute who survived the fire, brought Zhao Han'er, who was only five years old, to Pan's residence.After confirming their identities, the Pan family is so big that they can't afford to keep their mouths open, and because Zhao Han'er is not a man, the two wives didn't talk too much.
Zhao Han's son's mother's family is humble, and his name has not been rectified, and no one outside knows that there is another young lady in the Pan family.The people in the mansion called out to be master on the surface, but behind the scenes, they were just an outsider with no name or distinction.
Ji Xiamo flipped through the information in his hand, and had a general understanding of the situation. With a clue in his mind, he took Qin Yan and Jin Wuji to the Ministry of Punishment. With Feng Shaojin's token, the guards naturally did not dare to stop them. Greeting him with a good voice, he took Ji Xiamo to the morgue.
Ordering the guards to stay outside and not to follow in, Ji Xiamo stepped forward and pushed open the wooden door. Suddenly, a stench came over his face. Ji Xiamo quickly covered his nose with the bone fan in his hand, and frowned.
"Well, what does it smell like!" Qin Yan covered his mouth and nose and backed away again and again, his stomach was overwhelmed and he wanted to vomit.
Ji Xiamo didn't even look at Qin Yan, opened the folding fan in his hand, and tiptoed to fan Jin Wuji in front of Jin Wuji. The faint scent of pollen lingered in front of his nose, dispelling the disgusting smell of burnt corpses.
Jin Wuji looked down at Ji Xiamo, Ji Xiamo grinned and showed two rows of small white teeth, Jin Wuji's heart warmed and the coldness in his eyes dissipated.
Seeing that there was not much discomfort on Jin Wuji's face, Ji Xiamo retracted the bone fan to cover his nose, turned around and entered the morgue.
Neat wooden beds were placed in the closed room, and rows of corpses were displayed.
Ji Xiamo walked around the room, looked at the name on the bedside sign, and casually lifted the white cloth from the corpse.
A smell of burnt corpse oil mixed with a rotten smell rushed towards him. Ji Xiamo stood up and frowned.Qin Yan turned pale even more, covering his mouth to suppress the nausea in his stomach.
Ji Xiamo glanced roughly at the charred corpse, covered the white cloth again, and looked back at Qin Yan and Jin Wuji. "What I'm going to do next is probably beyond your tolerance, you go out first, and leave it to me here."
Jin Wuji frowned slightly, took two steps forward and stood in front of Ji Xiamo, and raised his sword hand a little.
Ji Xiamo raised his head and looked at Jin Wuji's cold side face, feeling a lot of pressure.
"Ji Xiamo, what do you mean! Is this young master the kind of villain who runs away?" Qin Yan was upset, and let go of the hand covering his mouth with a cold snort, wanting to save face and suffer.
"Today, my son will spend time with you here, just do whatever you want!"
Seeing that one of the two was struggling and the other really didn't care, Ji Xiamo didn't waste his time talking, reached out to take the small bag in Jin Wuji's hand, and handed a tray to Qin Yan instead.
"What are you doing?" Qin Yan was a little puzzled when he took the tray handed over by Ji Xiamo.
"Since you don't want to leave, give me your hand." Ji Xiamo took out a pair of sharp and delicate scissors and knives from her bag, and placed them on the tray one by one.
"By the way, Brother Jin." Ji Xiamo turned and handed a booklet and a pen to Jin Wuji. "Help me remember the information of my autopsy later."
"it is good."
"Ji Xiamo, what exactly do you want to do?"
"Since you're here to die, please be quiet." Ji Xiamo opened the first corpse, holding a scalpel in his hand, and in an instant, his entire body changed.Changed from the past sloppy and rogue appearance, replaced by a depressive heaviness and seriousness.
Ji Xiamo picked up a scalpel, gave Qin Yan a sideways glance, and said in a nonchalant voice, "If you dare to make a sound to disturb me later, I'll cut you open!"
After Ji Xiamo finished speaking, he didn't care whether Qin Yan understood or not, and turned to look at Jin Wuji, "Brother Jin, are you ready?"
Jin Wuji nodded silently, opened the booklet in his hand, and picked up the brush.
Ji Xiamo walked up to the corpse and carefully checked every part from top to bottom without missing a single one.
The slender and soft fingers slid all the way down the neck of the corpse, and finally stopped at the stomach of the corpse.Ji Xiamo frowned and pressed around, flipped the scalpel in his hand, and slowly cut open the stomach of the deceased under Qin Yan's terrified and Jin Wuji's astonished eyes.
The morgue is sealed on all sides, isolating the sunlight from the outside, so the inside of the mortuary looks a little dark and frighteningly depressing.
The dull cutting sound was very clear in the quiet morgue at this time, making people creepy.
Naturally, Ji Xiamo couldn't dissect each of the 37 corpses. Except for Mr. Pan, his two wives and two sons, Ji Xiamo only carefully checked the bodies of the other servants and servants. .
Ji Xiamo skillfully walked among the corpses, Qin Yan followed behind stiffly holding a tray, and Jin Wuji's subordinates kept recording every word Ji Xiamo said
Time passed little by little, and when Ji Xiamo covered the last corpse with a white cloth, the sun outside had already set.
Ji Xiamo threw the scissors and tweezers into the tray in Qin Yan's hand, seeing the stench and filth on his hands, a look of disgust flashed in his eyes.
Ji Xiamo wiped his hands with a towel, shook his sore waist and walked to Jin Wuji's side. "How about Brother Jin? Have you written it all down?"
"Exactly." Jin Wuji closed the booklet in his hand, glanced at Ji Xiamo's hand, and said softly, "Finished the inspection?"
"En! It's almost burnt, and there's not much to see, but..." Ji Xiamo's eyes darkened as he thought about the doubts he had just discovered.
"Go and wash your hands." After Jin Wuji said, he turned around and walked out the door first.
"Hey! Brother Jin, wait for me!" Ji Xiamo was taken aback, then threw the towel on the plate in Qin Yan's hand, and chased him out yelling.
With a livid face, Qin Yan stared stiffly at the towel in the tray in his hand, not missing the suspicious small piece of minced meat.The screams in the stomach were overwhelming, and Qin Yan finally couldn't bear the pain he had been suppressing. He rushed out of the room quickly, knelt under a tree in the yard, and vomited wildly with his neck stuck.
Being carried by Jin Wuji, Ji Xiamo almost took off a layer of skin from his hands, and managed to relieve the coldness on Jin Wuji's face a lot.
Ji Xiamo hooked Jin Wuji's arm and walked over with a smile, and immediately saw Qin Yan who was spitting out of life.I wanted to say something provocative, but when I saw Qin Yan's livid face and pale mouth, Ji Xiamo couldn't bear it a little more.
The young master who came out of the wealthy mansion, it's not bad for him to last this long. I think he almost vomited to death in the toilet when he touched the corpse for the first time.
"Hey, are you okay?" Ji Xiamo walked up to Qin Yan and patted him on the shoulder.
"I can't die." Qin Yan wiped the corners of his mouth, unsteadily propped himself up, and pushed Ji Xiamo's hand away angrily.
"It's getting dark, go and clean it up. I'll treat you to dinner, my lord." Seeing that people were still moving, Ji Xiamo was relieved, shaking his bone fan and laughing heartlessly. "I drank some porridge in the morning. Young master, I'm so hungry that I'm about to die."
Seeing that Ji Xiamo's face remained unchanged, and her smile was the same as before, Qin Yan didn't want to lose face, so he braced himself and left the yard of the morgue with his head held high.
After Qin Yan finished cleaning up, Ji Xiamo informed the guards, and took Jin Wuji and Qin Yan out of the Ministry of Punishment.
They hadn't eaten for a day, and the three of them were really hungry, so they didn't care about the class, so they randomly found a passable restaurant on the street and went in to take a seat.
Qin Yan sat on the chair with his head propped half dead, while Jin Wuji sat upright as always, without squinting.After a day of exhaustion, Ji Xiamo didn't bother to look at the menu, so he directly asked Xiao Er to pick up the dishes and put them on the table.
Ji Xiamo leaned on the back of the chair, holding the booklet in one hand, rubbing his chin with the other and frowning in thought.
Originally thought that this case was nothing more than a vendetta, but now it seems that it is a mess, and people can't find a clue.
Ji Xiamo recalled some suspicious points in Pan's residence, and slowly matched up with the suspicious points found in today's autopsy, but none of them could be connected together.
Ji Xiamo's brows were furrowed tighter and tighter, and he felt his head was in a mess, and his whole head hurt badly.
One hand pulled away the booklet from Ji Xiamo's hand across the table. Ji Xiamo's face turned cold, and just about to swear, she met a pair of deep and steady black eyes.Ji Xiamo choked when it reached his mouth, and swallowed hard again.
"Brother Jin, I haven't finished watching yet." Ji Xiamo complained dissatisfiedly.
Jin Wuji calmly put the booklet away in his arms, took out a pair of chopsticks and sent them to Ji Xiamo, and said softly, "Eat."
Ji Xiamo took the chopsticks, only to realize that the food had already been served.Ji Xiamo grinned, quickly picked up a chicken leg, and sent it to Jin Wuji's bowl in a smug manner, coquettishly, "Brother Jin has been busy all day, eat a chicken leg to make up for it."
Jin Wuji looked at the chicken legs in the bowl, and was silent for a moment, then picked up a piece of chicken and sent it to Ji Xiamo's bowl, his voice was low and reassuring. "Have a meal."
"Okay! Thank you Brother Jin!" Ji Xiamo narrowed his eyes with a smile, and the two rows of small white teeth were particularly dazzling.Jin Wuji lowered his eyelids, hiding the fleeting smile in his eyes.
"Qin Xiaoyan, aren't you hungry?" Ji Xiamo held a meatball in his mouth and saw that Qin Yan didn't move his chopsticks, raised his chin and said vaguely.
Qin Yan raised his head and glanced weakly at the food on the table. Thinking of the dismembered corpses, Qin Yan felt nausea again in his stomach.
"Ji Xiamo, can you still eat?"
"Why can't I eat it?" Ji Xiamo deliberately took a red braised meatball and shook it in front of Qin Yan's eyes, and bit off half of it with an 'ahhh' sound. "I've been hungry all day, it tastes delicious."
"Hmm!" Qin Yan opened his eyes wide, seeing Ji Xiamo deliberately chewing the braised meatballs loudly, his stomach churns, and he couldn't help it any longer, and ran out, covering his mouth and crawling.
Ji Xiamo shook his head and sighed, "Young, you can't hold your breath~~~"
When Ji Xiamo ate half of the plate of braised pork, Qin Yan finally walked back with his weak body and trembling legs.
"Ji Xiamo, you are a monster." Qin Yan lay down on the table and glared at Ji Xiamo angrily.
Ji Xiamo pursed her lips and snickered, and pushed a bowl of porridge over. "I know you're too uncomfortable to eat, Nuo, I asked someone to cook you a bowl of porridge, and you haven't eaten all day."
Looking at the white porridge pushed by Ji Xiamo, Qin Yan was taken aback. Looking at Ji Xiamo's face full of smiles, for some reason, something hit his chest, and his whole body was crispy.
Perhaps Qin Yan's gaze was too straightforward, Jin Wuji frowned slightly, a trace of displeasure flashed in his eyes, and his aura also dropped.
Jin Wuji stretched out his hand to pick up the porridge, and put it firmly on Qin Yan's face. Qin Yan was startled by the muffled sound, and quickly came back to his senses, looking straight at Jin Wuji in a daze.
"Eat!" Jin Wuji pierced Qin Yan with a pair of black eyes, and his flat voice suppressed the turbulent air-conditioning. Qin Yan only felt a chill in the back of his head, couldn't help shrinking his head, quickly picked up the bowl on the table, and buried his head in drinking. Get up, as cute as a little mouse.
Ji Xiamo stared at this scene dumbfounded, Jin Wuji withdrew Qin Yan's unfriendly gaze, turned to look at Ji Xiamo, and said coldly, "Hurry up and eat!"
"Yes!" Shocked by Jin Wuji's shock, Ji Xiamo quickly picked up the small bowl and shoveled it into his mouth.
After drinking and eating, the three of them left the restaurant, and it was completely dark at this time.
Ji Xiamo found a carriage for Qin Yan, paid the money and ordered it to be taken to the general's mansion, and the two sides said goodbye.
"Qin Xiaoyan, if you feel that you can't stand it, you can rest at home tomorrow and don't follow me." Seeing Qin Yan's pale face, Ji Xiamo felt a little bit off.
"Who said I can't stand it?" Qin Yan raised his chin, and glared at Ji Xiamo with momentum. "I will look for you tomorrow, don't even think about leaving me behind!!"
After Qin Yan finished speaking, he dropped the curtain and ordered the coachman to go on his way.
Watching the carriage drifting away, Ji Xiamo rubbed his chin and smashed his mouth. "This is a typical case of wanting to save face and suffering, and seeking abuse for nothing."
Qin Yan had also left, and Ji Xiamo rubbed his sore eyes, turned around and opened his hands to Jin Wuji, looking pitiful, "Brother Jin, the carriage is so bumpy, can you go home with light work?"
Jin Wuji switched the sword in his hand to his left, hugged Ji Xiamo's waist without saying a word, and jumped onto the roof.
"Brother Jin~~~" Ji Xiamo hooked Jin Wuji's neck with both hands, she didn't seem to notice Jin Wuji's stiff body, and rubbed affectionately on Jin Wuji's neck.
Jin Wuji hugged Ji Xiamo's hand tightly, and whispered in a deep voice, "Don't think about this case when you go back, take a good rest."
"Brother Jin, let's sleep together."
"..." Jin Wuji
"I touched so many corpses today, I'm so scared~~~~~" Ji Xiamo hugged Jin Wuji's neck, sniffling pitifully.
Well!It's chilly, like an ice cube, and it doesn't sweat when you hold it. It's a natural mobile air conditioner.
"Brother Jin?"
"..."
"Jin~~brother~~~"
"Don't make trouble." The voice was as soft as a low sigh, spreading out in the wind, like an illusion.
"Brother Jin, I can't sleep, or I'll stay up all night to sort out the case." Poor.
"Bullshit."
"Brother Jin, you don't love me anymore."
"..." Jin Wuji
"Brother Jin, Brother Jin, Brother Jin~~~Brother~~~~~"
"……Only this one time."
"No problem! Brother Ai Jin, okay~~~~~"
If there is one, there are two, and if there are two, there are three.Honesty is nothing, these two words are not in his dictionary.
[Text No.30 Episode [-] The Arrival of Feng Shaojin]
The next day Ji Xiamo didn't sleep in as he wished, and the arrival of Feng Shaojin made Ji Xiamo tossed by Aoki early.Feeling the cold mattress beside him, thinking about sleeping with Jin Wuji yesterday, Ji Xiamo suddenly felt a little uncomfortable.
After being picked up carefully by Aoki, Ji Xiamo had to put on a smile and rush to the living room no matter how upset, after all, Feng Shaojin is also a dignified prince, so naturally he has to give enough face, don't be alone at that time If the service is not good, give yourself a 'click' again.
Feng Shaojin's arrival this time was firstly for the case of Pan's family, and secondly, she brought an imperial decree. Ji Xiamo knelt down to accept the decree, and felt drowsy after hearing it.It was nothing more than some praise and relief first, and then it got to the point, throwing a mess to him.
Feng Shaojin naturally saw Ji Xiamo's absent-mindedness and full of resentment, he was angry and funny, and did not rush to ask about the progress of the case, and followed Ji Xiamo to the dining room.
Ji Ye did not return to court, Ji Yikui had a wind blowing a few days ago, and she had a low-grade fever for the past two days, Su Jingyao had been watching by the side, and the meals were directly prepared indoors, so only Ji Xiamo and Ji Xiamo were left at the dinner table. Feng Shaojin.
"Qingmu, how is the little girl now?" Ji Xiamo asked casually after taking the chopsticks from Aoki.
"When I went to deliver the food just now, the doctor had just left, and the lady took the medicine and fell asleep. The slave asked the doctor behind his back, saying that she was already much better."
"If you are sick, don't give them food that is too gassy. Tell the kitchen to cook some light side dishes, and send white porridge and liquid food."
"Yes!"
"It seems that Master Ji loves his sister very much." Feng Shaojin scooped up a spoonful of green beans and put them into Ji Xiamo's bowl with a smile.
Ji Xiamo clicked her tongue softly, and accepted Feng Shaojin's cloth dishes with peace of mind. "Little girl is blessed, and I have a lot of illnesses at a young age, so I, as a brother, should think about it."
"With an older brother like you protecting her, no one in the entire capital would dare to think about Miss Ji."
"Tsk, listening to what the fifth prince said, it seems that I am such a heinous villain."
"Evil people are not counted, but they are definitely not good people."
Seeing Feng Shaojin throwing her head up and laughing, Ji Xiamo shook her head. If she hadn't already understood Feng Shaojin's straightforward character, someone else might think he was sneering.
"My lord!" A servant hurried in and bowed. "Young Master Qin is here."
"Hahaha!" Arriving before the sound of anyone arriving, Qin Yan strode forward in a dark purple brocade suit, with a youthful unruly flamboyance between his brows, as arrogant as ever. "Ji Xiamo! I'm here, but I haven't come out to greet you yet."
Ji Xiamo glanced at Qin Yan, seeing that his face was rosy and full of energy, he was completely relieved, thinking that yesterday's hurdle must have passed.
Hearing what Qin Yan said, Ji Xiamo was amused, picked up a steamed bun and threw it at it. "I want my young master to pick you up and move your ancestors out!"
Qin Yan grabbed the steamed bun, took a bite cheerfully, poked his head and glanced at the dining table, "I said I'm not hungry, my father still laughed at me and told me to bring my own dry food."
"Are you still waiting for the meal?" Ji Xiamo snorted angrily.
"Cao Min Qin Yan has met the Fifth Prince!" Seeing Feng Shaojin, Qin Yan quickly put down the steamed bun and bowed respectfully.
"You don't need to be too polite. Today, this king is just like you, a guest." Feng Shaojin liked Qin Yan's character, and said with a half-toned smile.
"Thank you, my lord!" Qin Yan bowed and quickly sat down. Ji Xiamo motioned to Aoki who was beside him to prepare another set of bowls and chopsticks.
"Ji Xiamo, where's your guard?" Qin Yan looked around and asked suspiciously.
"What's the matter? Want to poach a corner of the wall?" After being reminded by Qin Yan, Ji Xiamo remembered the cold and neat mattress this morning, and immediately became angry.
"Why are you so angry? I'm just asking." Qin Yan pouted, picked up the chopsticks and stirred the gruel in the bowl in front of him. "By the way, where are you going today?"
"Go and meet the four survivors." Speaking of the case, Ji Xiamo put down his chopsticks and frowned slightly. "There are some things I can't figure out now, and I need to understand what happened that night of the fire."
"Is the case not going well?" Feng Shaojin asked.
"How should I put it, I just feel that something is not quite right." Ji Xiamo thought for a while, then turned around and asked Aoki to deliver the brochure.
"This is some doubts I found during the autopsy yesterday. The 37 corpses were charred to varying degrees, but no soot residue was found in the mouth, throat, nose, and stomach, which means that they were already dead when the fire was lit. .”
"And I also found that Mr. Pan and his second son Zhao Zikai had a fatal wound on their bodies. Other than that, the other deceased had no wounds on their bodies, or in other words, no fatal wounds."
"The deceased who did not have fatal injuries may have been poisoned, but what I am surprised about is that Zhao Zikai's fatal place was his throat. The wound was neat and deep. It should have been injured by a sharp weapon such as a sword, and he was killed by a single blow. According to the information sent by the prince, Zhao Zikai has practiced martial arts since he was a child, even if he is not deep in his studies, it is impossible for him to be killed in one blow without even having the power to backhand."
"Maybe the murderer is a master." Qin Yan said.
"That's the blame." Ji Xiamo opened the booklet. "Mr. Pan's wound is on the back of the left head. The skull is broken. It should be hit by a heavy object. But the wound is uneven, and the fractured skull is not concentrated in one place. It can be seen that the murderer is not strong and does not know any martial arts. , that's why the continuous blows can kill the dead, and the wounds are not concentrated in one place."
"You mean that there is more than one murderer." Feng Shaojin frowned.
"For the time being, I think this way. One is a martial arts master who can kill a grown man who has practiced martial arts since childhood. The other is that the wounds are not even concentrated in one place. It takes continuous blows to kill a man without martial arts. Men. These two criminal methods cannot be pinned on the same person no matter what."
"In addition, Master Pan's wound is very strange." Recalling the wound that he saw during the examination that day, Ji Xiamo's eyes flashed with confusion.
"Master Pan's wound is concentrated on the back of the left head, with the temple and ear slanting downward."
"What's wrong with that?"
"I can't tell, but I just feel something is wrong. It's always a bit awkward." Ji Xiamo rubbed the corners of her eyebrows with her fingers, feeling a little irritable.
"Don't worry." Feng Shaojin patted Ji Xiamo's shoulder. "Check slowly, and there will always be an answer."
"By the way, there is one other thing." Ji Xiamo looked up at Feng Shaojin. "According to the information, apart from 37 victims and four survivors, there is one less person."
"Who?"
"Young daughter Zhao Han'er's personal maid."
"Is she the murderer?" Qin Yan poked his head and interjected.
"The truth of the case has not been revealed yet, so don't label people casually." Ji Xiamo picked up the chopsticks in hand and hit Qin Yan on the head, ignoring Qin Yan's bared teeth.
"But when it comes to Zhao Han'er's corpse, it's a bit strange..." Ji Xiamo rubbed his chin and murmured softly.
Feng Shaojin and Qin Yan glanced at each other, expressing that their IQ is not enough. "What's strange?"
"She...forget it." Ji Xiamo shook his head, closed the booklet and handed it to Aoki behind him. "Let's eat first, let's meet the four surviving people after dinner."
Although Feng Shaojin and Qin Yan were puzzled, they still did not continue to ask, picked up the chopsticks and continued to eat.But after talking about the corpse for a long time, no matter how good the appetite is, it is a bit tasteless now.
After a meal, except for the heartless Ji Xiamo, Feng Shaojin and Qin Yan all ate a bit reluctantly.
After instructing Qingmu to make some light medicinal porridge for Ji Yikui, Ji Xiamo took Feng Shaojin and Qin Yan out the door, seeing Jin Wuji waiting outside the mansion, Ji Xiamo was still a little upset, He ignored him with a cold face.
But after a while, seeing that Jin Wuji was still following the wood, with a blank expression on his face, and had no intention of approaching, Ji Xiamo's original determination to break up the relationship slowly wavered, and then collapsed, clinging madly past.
It was just dawn this morning, Jin Wuji opened his eyes punctually due to the biological clock of more than ten years, saw Ji Xiamo beside him sleeping soundly with his arms in his arms, Jin Wuji was worried that he would not wake him up as usual After getting up to practice sword, he just lay down with Ji Xiamo until Aoki came to knock on the door, then Jin Wuji quickly put on his clothes, flew out of the window, and left Ji Xiamo's room.
Knowing that Ji Xiamo was still going to investigate the case today, Jin Wuji quickly ate his meal in fear of running out of time, and waited outside the mansion early, waiting for nearly an hour.
When Ji Xiamo came out with the two talking and laughing, seeing the cheerful smile on Ji Xiamo's face, Jin Wuji's cold heart softened a lot, but he didn't expect that when Ji Xiamo When Mo looked at him, his smiling face suddenly turned cold, he ignored him, and passed him blankly.
Jin Wuji's hand holding the sword tightened a little, his originally soft heart froze instantly, and his lowered eyes were deep and cold.
Looking at Ji Xiamo's mean little face, Jin Wuji's air-conditioning, which had been suppressed because of Ji Xiamo's cold face neglect, gradually warmed up, his tense heart relaxed, and there was a little warmth in his eyes.
"Fifth Prince, what are you..." Seeing Feng Shaojin follow her into the carriage, Ji Xiamo raised her eyebrows.
"The king is free today, so I'll go with you." Feng Shaojin bent down and got into the carriage, and sat down opposite Ji Xiamo. "As the bodyguard of Young Master Ji."
"Forgive me." Ji Xiamo covered his face. It's enough for Qin Yan to hold back, and another one is specially designed to trick his teammates.
"What? Is this king wronging you for being your bodyguard?" Feng Shaojin smiled.
"Grassmen are grateful!! On behalf of my father, my grandfather, and my ancestors, I would like to thank the Fifth Prince for his great kindness!" Ji Xiamo started chattering incoherently.
"Go! Glib tongue!" Feng Shaojin scolded with a smile.
"Brother Jin!" Ji Xiamo turned around and hugged Jin Wuji who was beside him, frowning and looking pitifully cute. "The murderer in this case may be a martial arts master. Brother Jin, you must follow me every step of the way. I'm afraid they will provoke them and kill me."
Jin Wuji's face collapsed, he tightened the sword in his hand, and nodded solemnly.
"Brother Jin is here, so I feel at ease." Ji Xiamo looked at Jin Wuji obsessively, shivering with complacency.
"Xiao Mo, don't worry, as long as I am here, I will protect you well."
"Xiao Mo?" Ji Xiamo turned her head to look at Feng Shaojin, smashing her mouth.
"What? Can't you?" Feng Shaojin smiled. "I always feel that it's a little strange to always call Mr. Ji, so why don't you just call you Xiaomo."
Can I say no?Ji Xiamo rubbed his arms uncomfortably, the smile on his face remained unchanged. "Hello, Xiaomo! It's so apt, just hearing it means we are good friends!"
How are you guys?
Feng Shaojin raised her eyebrows and did not refute.
"By the way, Fifth Prince, where is Mr. Pan's parents?" When mentioning the case, Ji Xiamo thought of an important question.
"The Pan family has a house at the corner of Chang Street in the west of the city. Pan Zilong and three other people are living there now. The catastrophe of the Pan family has hit him hard. He is going to leave after the Pan family is buried. In the capital, find a rural village to settle down, and will not come back."
"Leave the capital..." Ji Xiamo touched his chin with some meaning.
"Is there anything wrong?"
"Ah, no." Ji Xiamo smiled innocently. "It seems that I have to work harder to solve the case as soon as possible before they leave, and give him justice to the Pan family."
"So best."
[Text No.30 Episode [-] Pan's House]
A group of people noisy along the way arrived at Pan's house at the corner of the long street in the west of the city. Feng Shaojin's face was familiar, and the task of knocking on the door was naturally pushed by Ji Xiamo. Feng Shaojin had no choice but to condescend The one adjusted the brocade robe, and the appointed one went to the door of Pan's residence and knocked on the door.
It was a man in his 40s who opened the door. He opened the closed door a crack, looked at the people suspiciously, and his voice was hoarse. "who are you?"
Seeing that Ji Xiamo and Feng Shaojin seemed to have no intention of opening their mouths, Qin Yan rubbed his nose and leaned over, raised his chin like a dog, with his nostrils turned upwards and looked like a dog, making him blind. "This is the current Fifth Prince, who is here to investigate the case of the Pan Mansion under the orders of the Holy Majesty!"
"My lord!?" The man was startled, he quickly opened the door, and knelt down to worship. "The grass people see the prince, but they don't know the prince's driving. I hope the prince will forgive me if I am rude."
"No problem." Feng Shaojin waved his hand. "Young Master Pan is at home now."
"Here! Caomin will take the prince there." The man got up, bent over and turned sideways to signal.
Feng Shaojin nodded slightly, and looked back at Ji Xiamo. Ji Xiamo withdrew her gaze from the man, concealing the gloom in her eyes, and followed Feng Shaojin into Pan's residence with a smile.
Walking in the compound of Pan's house, Ji Xiamo looked around without a trace.Although the Pan Mansion has been defeated, the Pan Mansion is not as luxurious as the original mansion, but compared with ordinary people, it can be considered wealthy.
Ji Xiamo looked at the man leading the way, walked quickly a few steps and stood side by side with him, with a kind smile on his face. "I don't know how to call it?"
"Li Zhi, a grassroots man, is the steward of Naipan's residence."
"I wonder if the butler can describe to me the situation that day in detail." Ji Xiamo slowed down, and Li Zhi glanced at Feng Shaojin behind him, hesitated, and slowed down.
"It's my lord's birthday in Japan. My lord held a family banquet in the hall. I was in a good mood after drinking a few more glasses, so I rewarded the servants in the mansion with a few jars of wine. The servants were greedy and forgot the rules for a while, and ended up getting drunk , I didn't expect that later..." Speaking of this, Li Zhi shook his head and sighed, wiping the corners of his eyes with his sleeve.
"I don't know where the housekeeper was on the day of the fire?"
"Because the grass people caught wind and cold for two days, they were unwell, so they lay on the bed and rested. At night, they felt thirsty, but no one answered when they called, so they groped and got up, only to see a red color outside the window. The grass people were terrified. He ran out without even bothering to put on his shoes, shouted loudly, but no one showed up, and in the end he could only watch Pan's mansion burn to ashes."
Ji Xiamo thought in his heart, but patted Li Zhi's shoulder with his hand. "Congratulations."
During the conversation, several people came to the living room, and Li Zhi took two steps back and bowed respectfully, "Sirs, please wait here for a while, Caomin will go to inform the young master."
Ji Xiamo nodded and smiled back. After Li Zhi left, Ji Xiamo began to carefully look at the living room.
A woman in rough clothes came in stoopingly, carefully served tea for the four of them, and then turned to leave.
"Wait!" Ji Xiamo called out to the woman, but the woman stopped and said nothing, because her head was buried so it was difficult to see her face clearly
Ji Xiamo walked up to the woman, stroked his chin and thought for a moment, then suddenly bent down and squatted down, his eyes were on the woman's face.
Frightened by Ji Xiamo's suddenly enlarged face, the woman backed up and fell to the ground with a scream. Her eyes looked at Ji Xiamo in horror, her whole body trembling like chaff.
Ji Xiamo clicked his tongue lightly, touched his face, and looked back at Feng Shaojin beside him. "Am I ugly?"
"It's not ugly." Feng Shaojin sat on a chair beside her and played with the wrench on her thumb. Hearing Ji Xiamo's question, she suddenly laughed.
"Mute, what are you doing here?" With a soft drink, a handsome young man strode towards him from outside. Presumably this person should be Pan Zilong, the eldest son of the Pan family.
Seeing Pan Zilong come in, the dumb woman hurriedly knelt down, shrinking her body timidly.
"Leave quickly." Pan Zilong shouted, the dumb woman kowtowed again and again, and quickly exited the living room.
"The grass people see the fifth prince. I don't know the prince is so good, but I hope to forgive me!" Pan Zilong cupped his hands and bowed to Feng Shaojin. The free and easy gestures he made were somewhat similar to Feng Shaojin. Good impression.
"It's nothing, it's because I didn't notify you in advance." Feng Shaojin put down the teacup in his hand and signaled to Ji Xiamo who was beside him. "This is Young Master Ji of the Prime Minister's Mansion. He is ordered by the Emperor to investigate the case of the Pan Mansion."
"Investigate the case..." Pan Zilong was startled, seemingly puzzled.
"According to the autopsy investigation, there are many suspicious points in this case. It is by no means an accident. It may be caused by others."
"What!" Pan Zilong exclaimed, retreating again and again, with a handsome face
