Chapter 59 Yan Qi

It was a pure black coffin with water marks on it, which quietly appeared in the middle of the road ahead. There were few people walking on this road, and now there are only two people, Zhuo Qing and Bi Suwu.

Zhuo Qing felt fear spreading in his heart. He wanted to scream, but found that he could not make any syllables in his throat.

Soon his eyes went dark and he couldn't see anything.

If someone outsiders were beside him, you could see the coffin swallowing Zhuo Qing and Bi Suwu like a river clam opening. The coffin board was hit again, and it disappeared on the path.

The servants from a villa heard it and came to check it out and saw only a trace of water on the road. They thought they had an illusion in their ears and left quickly.

…………

Ji Liao and Gu Weirui arrived at the front hall.

The head of the county constable is called the head of the captain, and the head of the palace constable is called the head of the chief constable. This time the people who came to the yamen were Yan Qi, the head of the palace. The clerks like the head of the captain are passed down from generation to generation, and even the algebra passed down by them is more than the marquises and counts that have been hereditary.

They have been in this position for a long time, so no one in the local area knows better than them. Yan Qi has been the chief constable of Cangzhou Prefecture for ten years. In recent years, he has been very good at both black and white in Cangzhou Prefecture and is known as a god-like arrester.

This is not to praise him, but that he really deserves the title of "Divine Captain". After all, unlike ordinary captains, Yan Qi not only manages this career for generations, but also is the most proud disciple of Zen Master Fayun, Xiangguo Temple.

Although he had not been ordained as a monk, Yan Qi had already obtained the true teachings of Fayun's great compassion Qianye Hand. No matter how vicious the great thief was, no one of them could escape his palm over the years.

It was Cangzhou Prefecture where such a genius was located. Shortly after the new prefect arrived, the merchant ships of the East Palace were moved under the nose. A boat of people died completely, and even the treasures dedicated to the East Palace disappeared. Yan Qi was directly called to the prefect for a long time and was ordered to solve the case within ten days.

Yan Qi found all the clues that should be found, but he still couldn't find any clues about the murderous man. His subordinates happened to find that the young master of Four Seasons Villa had just returned from the pier. Moreover, the route of Ji Liao's return was nearly a hundred miles of water route to Cangzhou Prefecture, which coincided with the route of the merchant ship to Cangzhou Prefecture. Yan Qi felt moved and wondered if Ji Liao could get a clue here.

Even if you can't get clues, Siji Villa, as a major force in the world, is also a local snake in Cangzhou Prefecture. If you ask Siji Villa for help, you may find some clues.

Therefore, after Yan Qi thought about it, he immediately came to Sisy Villa to visit.

Ji Shan only saw Yan Qi once. It was ten years ago when Yan Qi was the chief constable. Yan Qi's father came down from the chief constable and held a banquet. He invited the leading figure from Cangzhou Prefecture, and Ji Shan was among them.

At that time, Yan Qi was still a young man with high spirits. Now he is in his early thirties and looks more and more like his father, but his martial arts skills are much higher than his father.

After taking a sip of tea, Ji Shan asked, "It's great that your father is close."

Yan Qi said: "My father is all good, but his eyes have begun to lose sight of them recently."

After he finished speaking, Ji Shan sighed softly.

Yan Qi immediately knew that he was saying the wrong thing, and he remembered that the young master of Four Seasons Villa was also blind. Just as he didn't know how to remedy it, he heard a gentle footstep, "This is the headmaster Yan Qi."

Yan Qi was very surprised. Although the footsteps were light, the internal skills were not strong. It seemed that the young master of Siji Villa was really mediocre. If the family business of Siji Villa was in his hands in the future, he would be really defeated. He secretly felt sorry for Ji Shan and looked out of the hall.

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

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

The owner of the footsteps was a woman, and the person who spoke was naturally the handsome and extraordinary man beside her. But Yan Qi could not hear his footsteps at all. If he had not seen them with his own eyes, he would have almost never noticed such a person coming in.

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

He suppressed his shock and looked at the girl beside Ji Liao again. He was really beautiful, but he always felt a little familiar.

It turned out that when Gu Rong was the prefect, Yan Qi accidentally caught a glimpse of Gu Weirui. But at that time, Gu Weirui was healthy, unlike the cold poison in his body now, and his temperament also changed. Therefore, Yan Qi did not recall it for a while.

Ji Shan smiled and said, "Captain Yan, this is my son. The girl beside him is my son's fiancée, and the daughter of former prefect Gu Rong."

Yan Qi said in surprise: "It's Miss Gu, but she isn't?"

He wanted to say that Gu Weirui had not passed away, so how could he appear here again?

Ji Shan said: "This matter is a long story. If you want to know, you can ask your subordinates to inquire. I won't go into details. Now that the child is here, please ask him if you have any questions."

Yan Qi's purpose today is not to ask Gu Weirui how he came back from the dead, so he suppressed his curiosity and bowed to Ji Liao: "Young Master Ji, Yan Qi is here. Now he is taking the liberty to visit, but he is asking for advice."

Ji Liao sat not far away with Gu Weirui and replied gently: "Captain Yan, but it's okay."

Seeing that Ji Liao was clearly unable to see him, Yan Qi could not help but sat on the chair freely, and could not help but secretly amazed. If he hadn't known in advance that the young man had been blind ten years ago, he would have probably not seen that Ji Liao was blind.

Thinking of Ji Liao's silent actions and good internal strength, Yan Qi did not dare to neglect and said, "When the young master returned, he must have heard that a bizarre case happened today. A merchant ship docked early in the morning, everyone inside was dead, and the death was strange. I asked a coroner to check the body, but I didn't find any wounds on them, nor did they find that they had been poisoned, and there was no water accumulation in their mouths. Finally, I concluded that they were locked in a confined space and were suffocated to death."

When Ji Liao heard his words, he couldn't help but think of the coffin. Judging from this, the merchant ship was indeed very likely to have been put into the coffin and suffocated to death.

He said: "Since General Yan has figured out the cause of his death and is here to do something to me, can you still doubt me?"
