"Why did you suddenly leave the water?" Ji Second Master, Ji San Master, Ji Xiaotang and Qi Younian sat in the study together, and Ji Xiaotang asked.

This is not only Ji Xiaotang's question, but also the common question for everyone here.

Master Ji San and Qi Younian talked about the scene at that time respectively. It turned out that Master Ji San went to find Qi Younian, and Qi Younian was about to go to Yanzhi Lane to investigate. When the two of them arrived at Yanzhi Lane, the fire had already started to burn and could not be rescued at all.

After investigation, the fire point was at the Wang family. Because the fuel was found at the fire scene, it was concluded that the water was not an accident, but someone deliberately set fire.

All the people in the Wang family were burned to death, and none of them survived, and the neighbors were also implicated. In addition to the loss of property and the injured, one of the two families next to the Wang family was burned to death.

The scene of the fire was very tragic. Master Ji San and Qi Younian were worried about Ji Xiaotang's mood, so they didn't say it too much.

But even so, Ji Xiaotang was still deeply shocked, and she could almost imagine the scene at that time.

"Are you sure the Wang family was burned to death?" Ji Xiaotang asked again.

Qi Younian came to Qingyuan this time, and on the surface there was something else in business, but in fact he was secretly investigating He Ming and Qingyuan County Office. He Ming's death and the later magistrate Xie's case, Qi Younian was not easy to interfere in order to avoid alarming the snake. This is also why he went to Yanzhi Lane to investigate afterwards.

When Yanzhi Lane was running, Qi Younian and Master Ji San appeared at the scene. The two of them only said that they were going to Yanzhi Lane to drink, which happened to be the same. Although Qi Younian could not take the case to his own hands to investigate, he also seized the opportunity and took someone to investigate the scene with Master Ji San.

Ji Xiaotang suspected that someone was killing someone to silence the water in Yanzhi Lane, and Qi Younian also had the same suspicion, so he carefully checked the body of the Wang family.

Although the corpse cannot be identified, it is not difficult to tell whether it was burned to death.

"Xiaotang, you asked me the point." Qi Younian glanced at Ji Xiaotang with a look of praise. ∮. He had cut the throat of the corpse and had already made a preliminary conclusion that the people of the Wang family did not die in the fire, but had already died before the fire broke out.

As for how the Wang family died, they have to wait for the yamen coroner to make an autopsy before making a specific conclusion.

Because Qi Younian was present, he said his judgment in front of the county jail, but he was not worried that the people in the jail would cover up the truth.

"All the people in the Wang family are dead?" Ji Xiaotang nodded and asked again.

"The number of corpses is correct, but..." Qi Younian paused for a moment, "Because the corpse is difficult to identify, we cannot draw conclusions. Xiaotang, what do you think?"

Ji Xiaotang asked this, there must be some reason.

"I think someone in the Wang family may not die." Ji Xiaotang said slowly, "We can be sure that He Ming's death was arranged by someone to kill someone to silence him, right?"

Qi Younian and others nodded, which was almost 100% confirmed.

"Then, the people of the Wang family may have seen something, or they are accomplices." Therefore, the subsequent fire came, and all the Wang family members died in the fire, which was still a murder to silence them.

The murderer has meticulous thinking and vicious means, and he regards human life as a mustard.

"If the Wang family is an accomplice, or one of them, some of them are accomplices, is it possible that the murderer will leave the life of the accomplice?" Ji Xiaotang continued to analyze.

"This possibility cannot be ruled out." Qi Younian thought about it and said.

"Jiang Qingshan has been guarding Wang Jiaoer for many years, and Wang Jiaoer has done a lot of things for him. If it were Jiang Qingshan who planned to silence him, it would be possible to keep Wang Jiaoer." Master Ji San said, and specifically explained the matter between Jiang Qingshan and Wang Jiaoer to Qi Younian.

"That's it!" Qi Younian immediately grabbed the clue, "I will arrange people to pay attention to Wang Jiaoer's body to see if there are any flaws."

After a while, Qi Younian stood up and wanted to say goodbye.

He could not interfere in He Ming's affairs, but he could use the excuse of saying that he was present at that time and expressed his special attention. "≤, Qi Younian planned to go to the yamen to inquire about the news.

"Ayou, if He Ming dies like this, will the clues on your side be cut off?" Ji Xiaotang also stood up and asked Qi Younian.

Qi Younian nodded with a solemn expression on his face.

He had just locked the clue on He Ming, but before he could investigate in depth, He Ming died. The clue that he had finally caught was broken.

Qi Younian did not tell Ji Xiaotang that although this was his first time giving birth to a child, it was not the first time he gave birth to a child. The other party was cunning, fierce, and without any delay. It was the most difficult opponent Qi Younian faced so far.

"I will continue to investigate." Qi Younian told Ji Xiaotang.

For He Ming, he made such a big noise, which means that the other party is also anxious. This also means that he has found the right direction.

"Ayou, you have to be careful." Ji Xiaotang told Qi Younian again.

Qi Younian glanced at Ji Xiaotang deeply and nodded.

Qi Younian went to the county government office, and Master Ji Er and Master Ji San were not idle either. Ji Xiaotang was sitting at home, and new news kept coming.

The people from the Wang family were not dead. There was also Wang Xinger who had long since lived in the Wang family, so he escaped by chance. It was precisely because of this that Wang Xinger was called to the county government to identify the bodies of the Wang family.

Wang Xing'er identified Wang Jiao'er's body, and Wang Jiao'er also died in the fire. Wang Xing'er is really the only survivor.

As for the fire in Yanzhi Lane, although it has been determined that someone set fire on purpose, the county government has no idea who did it. Therefore, Xie Magistrate gave a reward for the red list. Although he provided a considerable reward, no one cared about it.

This case has become another unsolved case.

Qi Younian has been here for some time in Qingyuan, and He Ming is dead and the clues are interrupted, so his investigation is in a stalemate. In order to avoid suspicion, Qi Younian has to return to the city temporarily.

Before leaving Qingyuan, Qi Younian naturally came to Ji Mansion to say goodbye.

Mr. Ji Er's attitude towards Qi Younian has changed a lot. He didn't talk about Qi Younian's life experience himself, but Mr. Ji Er refused to mention it anymore. Qi Younian also got the opportunity to say a few words to Ji Xiaotang.

"I will continue to search for other clues when I go back this time. Xiaotang, the Xie family's suspicion has not been resolved. You should be very careful when you interact with the Xie family." When talking about the Xie family in front of Ji Xiaotang, Qi Younian always try to avoid mentioning Xie Huaijin.

However, this time the separation is about to be reached. Although Qi Younian hesitated, he finally raised this topic.

"Xiaotang, I know, you and Xie Huaijin.... You are sure that he will not harm you. However, he is the son of Xie Magistrate. Sometimes, many things will be involuntarily uncontrollably. Even if he is not aware of them and does not have the intention to harm you, he may be exploited. Xiaotang, you must be careful of Xie Huaijin."

Qi Younian and Xie Huaijin are almost in love with each other. It is easy to be misunderstood by people to say this. However, Qi Younian has to say that he is worried that Ji Xiaotang will be blinded by feelings and will be found in a gap.

Ji Xiaotang didn't say anything for a long time.

Xie Huaijin is the entanglement in her heart. Because of her previous life, she almost blindly believed in Xie Huaijin and consciously took responsibility for Xie Huaijin.

However, she told Qi Younian in person that no matter what they think, they can never escape the influence of the two families. So for Xie Huaijin, the truth is actually the same.

Xie Huaijin is the son of Xie Magistrate after all.

She was unable to promise Qi Younian, but she was obsessed with Xie Huaijin, which was contradictory in itself. In other words, in comparison, it would be very unfair to Qi Younian.

"Brother Huaijin..." Ji Xiaotang sighed softly.

No matter how things will happen in the future, Ji Xiaotang is certain. Xie Huaijin is mellow by nature. She will not hold a grudge against Xie Huaijin because of the magistrate Xie and the Xie family. She and Xie Huaijin will never turn against each other.

Not only that, she will also work hard to spend the rest of her life with Xie Huaijin.

"Xiaotang, you..." Qi Younian looked at Ji Xiaotang, his face no longer had a light and gentle breeze, "It's so affectionate, but so affectionate."

Ji Xiaotang knew that Qi Younian was complaining, complaining that she was too affectionate to Xie Huaijin but too affectionate to him.

"Ayou, no matter how things change in the future, I will always regard you as a friend. I am willing to promise your Mid-Autumn Festival appointment and as a friend." Ji Xiaotang looked at Qi Younian.

"Okay." Qi Younian hesitated for a moment and nodded, "Xiaotang, I will remember your words, but this does not mean that I will give up."

"Ayou, you won't stay in Ren'an forever. When things go by, you will have different ideas." Ji Xiaotang said.

"No." Qi Younian shook his head solemnly.

Ji Xiaotang smiled and did not argue with Qi Younian on this issue.

"Ayou, I'll give this to you." Ji Xiaotang said, then took out a brocade box from his sleeve.

Qi Younian took the brocade box and opened it. It was exactly the ancient version of "Planning for War" mentioned by Ji Xiaotang.

"Xiaotang, this book is priceless. Do you really want to give it to me? Do your father know?" Qi Younian asked.

"You must make the best use of the price. Ah You, I decided that you are the general of Daqin, and you will definitely be... I gave you this book, so I naturally got my father's resentment. He also hopes that you can make good use of this book."

"Okay, then I'll accept it." After hearing Ji Xiaotang say this, Qi Younian did not make any more politeness, but carefully took the Jinqian intimately.

Qi Younian left Qingyuan and returned to the capital city. The ginkgo tree in the Ji family courtyard finally fell into its last yellow leaf.

"Xiaotang, do you know where Wang Xing'er is now?" Master Ji San asked Ji Xiaotang. Qi Younian's departure did not mean that the Ji family also gave up the investigation into the fire in Yanzhi Lane.

"Could it be..." Master Ji San asked strangely, and Ji Xiaotang had a guess.

"Yes." Master Ji San nodded immediately.
