There are many people who covet the position above ten thousand people, but there are only a few who can compete.

Xu Zhiyan eliminated them one by one in her mind, and finally only the fifth prince and the third prince were left. These two people had motives but no reason to exclude them. The person behind this murder was most likely to come from these two people.

But to determine which one it is, we need to look for clues.

Suddenly, a scream interrupted her thoughts. When she looked up, the killer, who could still open his eyes just now, could only lower his head motionlessly.

[Could he be dead? 】

Xu Zhiyan stood up and went over to check on him, but as soon as she stretched out her hand, he suddenly raised his head, staring at her with a pair of bloodshot eyes, and his voice was as rough as if it had been polished with sandpaper.

"I'll tell you everything I know, and you can help me protect my family."

"Aren't you a dead soldier?" Xu Zhiyan looked at him with a half-smile, "You dare to come and kill the current prince if you are not a dead soldier. Do you think your family's life is too comfortable?"

The killer was speechless, or felt that the matter was over and there was no point in regretting, so he stopped refuting and just repeated what he had just said. This time Xu Zhiyan readily agreed.

"I made my statement early on. I don't like sitting around when dealing with things. You can send someone to find your family now."

With these words, the killer no longer concealed anything and told everything he knew. But after all, he was not a high-status person and did not know much. Once the things he gave were put together, they were not very useful.

[These people are worthy of daring to buy murder and kill people. Their tails are pretty clean, but the paper can’t cover up the fire, so I don’t believe it. I can’t find any flaws! 】

Xu Zhiyan worked hard, trying to analyze more things from the known information, but the harder she tried, the more miserable she became. After she returned to the house, she didn't even bother to take a shower, she casually took off her robe and fell on the soft couch.

He lay on his back for a while and turned over on his stomach, patting the soft couch with his hands.

【so annoying! 】

[Wait a minute, does it say in the confession that they communicated through letters? 】

She immediately asked someone to find those letters and read them one by one. "The content was very cautious and the writing style was very strange. It was probably not written with her dominant hand." 】

Xu Zhiyan was reading and thinking in her heart. Suddenly, she paused and rubbed the hand holding the letter. Some special touch awakened her memory. She immediately picked up the things and went to find her brothers.

"The murderer behind the scenes is very careful in his actions, but there is always a secret. The letter paper used by the other party to communicate may seem ordinary, but I wanted to sell pens, inks, paper and inkstones for a while, and I specifically researched the types of paper."

"This kind of paper looks rough, but in fact the production process is extremely complicated. The output is rare and the price is expensive. The buyer group is almost fixed."

"In other words, as long as I find out the purchase list, it is equivalent to locking in the suspense crowd in disguise."

Her eyes were bright, and Xu Yannan, who was sitting directly opposite her, seemed to have seen the way she held his knee and said in a sweet voice that she would definitely cure his leg.

Now, he is as healthy as a normal person, and he believes that what she wants to do can definitely be achieved.

"Nanny is smart. You have been busy dealing with the disaster recently. Now that the disaster has stabilized a lot, it's time for you to rest. Leave this matter to my elder brother, who will give you an answer as soon as possible."

Xu Zhiyan originally thought that the second brother would ask for help. After all, the second brother was in business and it would be easier to deal with these things, but she never expected that it would be the eldest brother who asked.

"Brother, do you really want to help me?"

Xu Yannan curved his lips and smiled, raised his hand to greet her, touched her head like he did when he was a child, "When did my brother lie to you?"

"The soup is stewed in the kitchen. Let's drink a bowl later and then go to bed. Look at your dark eyes and the scratches on your hands. If you don't rest, big brother will drug you."

Xu Zhiyan's eyes suddenly widened. "Big brother, you are so cruel. I'm going to drink soup and go to bed. Bye bye, big brother, second brother, and little brother!"

She said goodbye with both rain and dew wet, and disappeared without a trace in a flash.

……

Xu Zhiyan really went to bed obediently, but she didn't know whether it was something on her mind or something else. The more she slept, the more uncomfortable she became, and she finally woke up from her dream.

She sat on the bed and gasped. Xu Fugui, who was lying on the pillow with her, was not affected at all. He turned over and continued to sleep with a few groans.

She glanced down at it, covered it with a quilt, and got out of bed.

Her brain was still dull after being frightened. She didn't remember to put on clothes at all. It was precisely because she didn't wear shoes and her walking made little noise. She didn't hear any sound from the creek outside her house, so she left the yard unimpeded. .

There was some gravel on the corridor, which made the soles of her feet hurt, but she seemed to feel no pain. She went straight to Li Wenjin's yard, quietly walked in, and lay down beside his bed to look at him.

Maybe his eyes were too hot.

Li Wenjin woke up and saw her at a glance. He looked down and saw her thin shoulders. He subconsciously tried to sit up but pulled the wound. He hissed in pain. This sound brought back Xu Zhiyan's reason.

She pressed his shoulders and asked him to lie back.

"I just couldn't sleep and came to see you. You don't have to get up. Just keep sleeping. I'm leaving."

She stood up and took a few steps outside. He saw her bare feet and a small section of fabric that was stepped on under the heel and stained with red marks. "Nanny, come back!"

She sat down beside the bed in a daze, and placed her warm palm on his forehead.

"Are you feeling uncomfortable? Let me give you acupuncture to make your body feel lighter."

Li Wenjin held Xu Zhiyan's wrist with her backhand.

"It's not me, it's you. Nanny, your foot is injured. Be good, come up here and let me help you take a look."

He is a mysophobic person, but at this moment he lets the dirty Xu Zhiyan go to bed.

She was stunned for a moment.

"No need, I really don't feel much pain, and I walked on the ground for so long, the soles of my feet are very dirty, and the bed will be dirty..."

Before Xu Zhiyan could finish her words, Li Wenjin grabbed her hand and pulled her directly onto the bed. She lay down on the bed. He put his hand on the bed to push herself up, then held her ankle and inspected her carefully.

The originally white and tender soles of the feet were now covered in various scratches, not deep, but very abrasive.

He took the brocade handkerchief, carefully avoided the wound and wiped the dust off her feet, and then applied the medicine. The ointment was cold and effectively relieved the discomfort, but even if it was not relieved, Xu Zhiyan had no intention of caring about it. She was My heart and eyes will be full of Li Wenjin.

[Brother Wen Jin is so good-looking, as expected, the beauty under the lamp, the ancients never deceived me! 】

Li Wenjin didn't expect her to be thinking about this now, but after thinking about it, it wasn't surprising.

After all, this girl has been a big-hearted person since she was a child. Just like now, she ran to her fiancé's house in the middle of the night wearing only her underwear. As long as his concentration was weak, the little guy couldn't get back all the way.
