Chapter 465: Lonely Boatman, His Name Is Ji Xing

For three days in a row, the girl was nowhere to be seen.

Da Niu could restrain herself from the beginning, but now she couldn't restrain herself and fell ill directly.

The little girl's face was flushed, she had a high fever, her eyes and the tip of her nose were red and swollen, but in her sleep, she persisted in saying: "Sister..."

Liu Wei stroked Da Niu's forehead, put away the silver needle, covered Da Niu with a quilt, stood up, and walked out of the room.

Outside the room, Rong Leng was leaning against the door, waiting for her.

Liu Wei asked: "You haven't found it yet?"

Rong Leng shook his head.

Liu Wei lowered his eyes, something flashed in his eyes.

Rong Leng held her hand, and the man's warm palm instantly warmed her cold fingertips.

Liu Wei leaned to the side, rested her forehead on his shoulder tiredly, buried her head and said, "Is it possible that something has happened..."

"No." Interrupting Liu Wei's words, Rong Leng hugged her tightly, placed his chin on the top of her head, and said softly: "If there is no news, then it is good news."

For now, that's all I can do to comfort myself.

Both of them were not in a good mood. Someone was missing, and it was someone close to them. This feeling of danger hiding in the dark, waiting for an opportunity, was very bad!

Liu Wei was worried about the little girl's safety.

Rong Leng, on the other hand, was more worried about Liu Wei's safety.

Why did the other party kidnap a little girl? It’s just a little girl, what’s the use? Who is the real target of the man behind the scenes?

Is it him Rong Leng or Liu Wei?

Rong Leng had to think extremely carefully and be cautious.

The enemy is in darkness and we are in the clear, they are already at a disadvantage.

"Is Mr. Liu here?" At this moment, a voice came from downstairs.

Liu Wei withdrew from Rong Leng's arms, walked out a little, and looked downstairs.

When he looked around, he saw Brother Hu and two government servants looking towards them. As soon as he saw them, Brother Hu hurriedly saluted.

Liu Wei walked down, her steps a little hurried: "But is there any news about the little girl?"

"This..." Brother Hu looked embarrassed, sighed, and shook his head: "Little girl, we haven't found her yet, but we have found another person."

Liu Wei raised her eyebrows: "Who?"

"Ji Xing."

"Huh?" This name is still unfamiliar to Liu Wei.

Brother Hu knew what he was saying, but Brother Liu said he didn't know him, so he said in other words: "Ji Xing is the other person who was on the same boat with the two adults and Ye Yuanliang. It is said that the person has some weird personalities and always loves one person. The walking boat passenger, his name is Ji Xing. It turns out that as soon as Ji Xing arrived at Guyong Mansion, he changed boats and went to Linxian County to find his relatives. No, he just said goodbye to his relatives yesterday and returned to Guyong Mansion today. When I left the dock by boat, someone happened to recognize me, so I reported him immediately."

"Now, we have brought him to the Yamen, but this case is being handled by Mr. Liu and Mr. Rong. Mr. Sun said that he would come to ask for instructions from you two. What should we do next?"

After Brother Hu said this, Liu Wei also remembered it.

I couldn't help but picture that ordinary, unfamiliar face in my mind. I pondered for a moment and asked, "What did he say?"

Brother Hu shook his head: "Everything on the ship has been explained. It's just that Ye Yuanliang died, but he said he didn't know about it. It doesn't look like he was lying! And based on the date he provided, I also sent someone to check on the day I sent him to the port. The boatman in the county also got the same answer. So, after getting off the boat, he really left, and he really had no contact with Ye Yuanliang."

As for Ye Yuanliang's death, although Liu Wei had said it was homicide, Brother Hu was still not sure.

After all, when he saw the body, Ye Yuanliang still looked like it was hanging in the white silk from the beam. No matter how you looked at it, it looked like he had committed suicide.

But since Liu Wei was so swearing, he had nothing to guess.

Moreover, no matter how Ye Yuanliang's body looked now, it no longer looked like he should have died by suicide.

In addition to Liu Wei's patchwork on the body, which was torn into pieces, the body itself seemed to have undergone some changes.

Brother Hu didn't look at the corpse a few times, but he also knew that the skin of the corpse was rotting now, and it was not a normal rot.

It seemed like someone had tampered with the body.

If it was a body that committed suicide, who would do anything to it? Perhaps, it is not necessarily a homicide.

But who is the murderer?

Liu Wei didn't say anything, so Brother Hu could only hold back and didn't dare to ask.

Before, Brother Hu suspected that there must be something wrong with the boat passenger who left alone, but now that he has been found and there seems to be no problem, Brother Hu is completely confused.

So, who is the murderer?

Liu Wei had an idea in his mind as to who the murderer was, but it was still a little difficult to determine the identity. After all, there weren't many clues from the corpse.

But that Ji Xing can be seen.

Therefore, ignoring the curious expression on Brother Hu's face, Liu Wei directly asked to see Ji Xing!

Brother Hu naturally agreed and went to make arrangements.

Half an hour later, Liu Wei was sitting in the hall behind the Yamen and saw the face opposite him, so familiar yet vaguely unfamiliar.

Liu Wei smiled perfunctorily: "Mr. Ji, we meet again."

Liu Wei didn't know whether he was calling him the right son or not.

Ji Xing doesn't look like a young master now. He is wearing coarse clothes that are not that good, and his appearance is featureless. He is like the kind of person who just throws him on the street and has to pick him up for a while. Only ordinary people can be found.

Calling him Young Master is a compliment!

But Liu Wei just felt that this was the right way to call him. This man could definitely bear the title of "gongzi".

Where does Liu Wei's confidence come from? Liu Wei herself doesn't know, but logically speaking, she and Ji Xing should not have known each other for the first time, but Liu Wei always feels that when she sees him this time, there is something about him. There was something about him that made her curious.

I don’t know how to describe it, this feeling came suddenly and inexplicably.

Under Liu Wei's name, Ji Xing also raised his eyes slightly, and after a while, he pursed his lips and nodded to Liu Wei to signal.

It is a response to the title "Master".

"Mr. Ji, do you still remember Mr. Ye?" Liu Wei asked.

Ji Xing's expression was indifferent: "Remember."

"Does Mr. Ji know that he is dead?"

"Yeah." Still the same cold and indifferent voice: "I heard."

Liu Wei continued: "It stands to reason that it was an acquaintance after all. We spent a few days together on the boat. Mr. Ye died mysteriously. How come Mr. Ji wasn't even the slightest bit surprised? This was in the past. What opinions did he have towards Ye Yuanliang? , I wish he died, or..."

"What do you want to say?" Before Liu Wei could finish her words, Ji Xing looked at her coldly and said bluntly: "Do you suspect that I killed him?"

Liu Wei looked at Ji Xing, smiled and said nothing.
