The house was in a mess.
One end of the broken beam hit the stove and the other end was embedded in the wall.
It seemed that as long as a strong wind came, the house would completely collapse.
Stepping on the muddy ground, Jiang Wuji began to rummage around the house.
However, apart from some shabby clothes, there was nothing special.
Seeing that he couldn't find anything useful, Ji Xiaowan said: "I went through it when it was not so dilapidated back then. I was just an ordinary fisherman."
"How many people are in this family?" Jiang Wuji asked.
Ji Xiaowan: "Three people, one husband, one wife and one daughter. I heard that there were two men in this family who went fishing many years ago and died at sea."
"I remember that the woman Uncle Ji saved at that time was only sixteen?"
"Well, a soft girl. Because her two brothers died at sea, her parents sent her to learn embroidery."
"Would a sixteen-year-old girl wear these clothes?" Jiang Wuji threw a few tattered clothes on the ground.
Ji Xiaowan looked at it carefully.
Although these clothes are very old, it is not difficult to tell that they are the kind of clothes that would be worn by a certain age.
Without waiting for Ji Xiaowan's answer, Jiang Wuji said: "A little girl who learns embroidery, no matter how poor her family is, can't wear this kind of clothes, let alone their family is not poor."
"Huh? How do you know their family background?" Ji Xiaowan asked.
Jiang Wuji glanced around and said calmly: "Dali embroidery is quite famous. Things like Yunjinxiu and Yanshaxiu are all tributes and are expensive."
"So learning embroidery requires not only the understanding, but also a lot of tuition. In addition, this family's house is obviously better built than most of the surrounding houses, and the yard is bigger."
Ji Xiaowan nodded her white chin, noncommittal.
"Even if we know this, it's of no use, right?"
That's because you were useless. If I had come over then... forget it.
Jiang Wuji said seriously: "I didn't find a single piece of clothing worn by a girl, not even a single one."
"What, what do you mean?" Ji Xiaowan asked quickly.
"There is something wrong with the daughter of this family, and she is the only one who ran away."
Hearing this, Ji Xiaowan's breathing became rapid: "How did you know? Just because she didn't have any clothes? Maybe she took them all away?"
"If she took the clothes away, why didn't her parents take them with them?"
"Also, there are obviously overgrown weeds outside, why is there a road?"
"A year has passed since this case. It stands to reason that even a frequently traveled road should be occupied by weeds now."
"The only explanation is that someone comes back from time to time, and with these clothes... the daughter of this family may still be in Tingshui County."
Ji Xiaowan was stunned in place, her peach blossom eyes shrinking.
On the surface, Jiang Wuji came here to investigate the case of Sanxuan's drooling ghost.
But for Fathead Fish, finding information about the Nine Tribulations of Tianmen is the top priority, while for Ji Xiaowan, what she wants to do most is naturally to overturn the case for her father.
At first, Jiang Wuji just had the mentality of coming over to take a look, but he didn't expect to discover these things by accident.
After a while, Ji Xiaowan cast a deep look, as if to say: You have such a good mind...
Jiang Wuji could understand Ji Xiaowan's eagerness to save his father, so he came up with an idea based on the existing clues.
"In this way, you can go around the neighborhood and ask if the daughter of this family has come back."
"They might not tell me if they know, right?"
"You just do it first."
"All right……"
…
At night, the wind in Tingshui County seems to carry a fishy smell.
In counties that rely on fishing for a living, you can see fish sellers and fish killers everywhere, and it has become like this over time.
"Rust..."
"Is anyone really going to come?"
"Not necessarily, give it a try."
"emmmm..."
At this time, Jiang Wuji and the female thief were hiding under the bed.
According to Jiang Wuji's speculation, since someone "goes home often to visit", the female thief going door to door in the afternoon is equivalent to letting the news go.
If the inference is correct, then the other party will definitely sneak back to check after hearing the news.
Because the other party wants to know what exposed "her" news.
Of course, this wave of operations is also likely to result in nothing.
Since they had to keep an eye on the situation outside, the two of them would lie on the ground, one on the left and the other on the right.
Luckily for the female thief, she was cushioned by two big pillows. Without a pillow, Jiang Wuji felt a slight pain in his chest.
So Jiang Wuji moved his body.
"Are you tired?"
Jiang Wuji: "I'm not tired."
It had been almost two hours, and even her great master felt tired, how could a second-rate person not feel tired.
Ji Xiaowan is a gentle and considerate girl. She was not familiar with Jiang Wuji at first, and women walking around in the world have to pretend to be strong even if they are not strong.
Seeing that Jiang Wuji was still holding on despite being tired, she said softly: "Aren't you really tired?"
"Haha... my neck is just a little sore."
"Then let me rub it for you."
Ji Xiaowan freed up a hand and kneaded the back of Jiang Wuji's neck.
I have to say that the female thief's skills are quite good, and she suddenly wants to go to Ji's Spa...
However, Jiang Wuji was not satisfied yet.
"Zhiqua——"
The dilapidated door was pushed open.
Immediately afterwards, subtle footsteps sounded.
A man in black walked in quietly and looked around.
The man... Seeing the other man's size, Jiang Wuji couldn't help but frowned, but he quickly overturned it.
Maybe it's Brother Chun.
The man in black turned around and didn't find the two people hiding under the bed.
Seeing that the time was right, Jiang Wuji immediately winked at the female thief.
"Clang!"
In an instant, the female thief shot out like a sharp arrow!
The man in black trembled obviously, and when he came to his senses, the female thief had already put the dagger against his neck.
So fast... Jiang Wuji was secretly shocked.
"Don't, don't kill me! I'll tell you everything!" The man in black was surprisingly sensible.
At this time, Jiang Wuji climbed out from under the bed unhurriedly and dusted himself off.
"Who are you and what is your relationship with Liu Qing?" The female thief said concisely.
Liu Qing was the name of the woman Gu Chaoyan wanted to bully at the beginning, and she was the person they were looking for.
The man in black was trembling all over, and it could be seen that he was really afraid of being raped.
"My name is Zheng Qiuheng, and I am Liu Qing's... fiancé."
"Fiancé?" The female thief murmured, looking at Jiang Wuji with her peach blossom eyes.
Jiang Wuji didn't rush to press, but took out his ID... took out Fengtiansi's token, and waved it in front of the other party.
"You are the sword holder..." Zheng Qiuheng's face instantly turned a bit paler.
After putting away the token, Jiang Wuji said in a deep voice: "Did you kill the person?"
"Wha, who is it? I didn't kill anyone!" Zheng Qiuheng was confused when asked.
"Liu Qing died violently. I advise you to be wiser. Otherwise, when you enter the dungeon of our Fengtiansi, it will not be so easy to talk to."
"What?" Zheng Qiuheng's eyes widened: "Qing'er is dead?!"
Jiang Wuji nodded: "Ten days ago, we found her body."
"Impossible! I just met Qing'er three days ago. How could she..."
Zheng Qiuheng's pupils shrank sharply, and he suddenly realized that he had fallen into a trap.
Jiang Wuji chuckled, and the female thief cast a look of admiration and surprise, as if to say:
You know how to ask questions...
