Stunned, Sima Xi frowned. "The case hasn't been solved yet, so where are we going? Where's the person?"

The bailiff said, "They refused to come. They said that they had taken up too much time and still had some important matters to attend to. So, they had to hurry on their way."

Si Ma Xi's face tensed up. He turned his head and said to Liu Wei, "Wait a moment," then lifted his leg and personally went to find someone.

"This is?" Liu Wei asked.

Sima Xi said, "This young master is the only lead witness in this case."

Liu Wei looked at the youth, and slightly leaned forward, and asked: "What did you see?"

The youngster didn't look at her. He only stared at the tip of his shoes and said in a muffled voice, "I didn't see it. I heard them arguing."

Liu Wei looked at Sima Xi.

Sima Xi nodded. "In fact, what happened to the three of them before they died was not seen by anyone. The little gongzi lives some distance away from the three of them, but he said he heard it."

Liu Wei looked at the teenager again: "Can you remember the contents of their conversation?"

The youth nodded and numbly repeated what he had said no less than ten times in the past two days.

In the end, he added, "Did you hear it clearly? If you don't hear it clearly, I hope you can write it down on a piece of paper. Don't turn your head and forget about it.

His tone was rather unfriendly.

Liu Wei felt this was strange, she looked at Sima Xi with an inquiring look, but Sima Xi avoided her gaze and let out an embarrassed cough.

The boy's confession was a great help to the case.

Firstly, it could be confirmed that the three of them had had a conflict of interests. Secondly, it was mentioned in the dialogue, "It was agreed that each person would get three hundred silver taels."

How did three hundred silver taels come about? Who gave it to them?

Did the person who gave them the money have anything to do with their deaths?

Did the crime scene have the nine hundred silver?

If not, where did the money go? Was he taken away by the murderer?

If he could track down the whereabouts of the nine hundred silver taels, it would be equivalent to tracking down the murderer's whereabouts.

With a chain of karma linked together, Liu Wei had a plan in her mind.

She looked at Fu Zichen, who was also looking at her. Their eyes met, and they were old partners who had worked together for so many years to solve a case together. Their tacit understanding was not a joke, hence they both immediately understood each other's thoughts.

"Sir Si Ma, may I have a look at the documents in this case?" Fu Zichen immediately went to find Sima Xi. He did not plan to overstep his boundaries, as the case was with the Qing Province and he would not take it. He would only help from the side, and if the person concerned agreed, that would be for the best.

Sima Xi said that he would be in the study, and would be personally bringing Fu Zichen to see all of them.

Liu Wei's hand was covered with gloves with blood on it, she did not touch the child, only seeing him standing there motionlessly, he curiously asked: "How old are you?"

The child whispered, "Nine years old."

Liu Wei nodded her head, then asked: "The technique you're training in is different from the martial arts of the Central Plains, is it from your family?"

Before she could finish speaking, the young man suddenly raised his head. His eyes were filled with astonishment as he stared blankly at the person in front of him.

His movement was too big, causing Liu Wei to be shocked. Liu Wei immediately said: "Don't be nervous, just casually ask, you don't have to say it."

The first moment Liu Wei saw the child, she could tell that he had a foundation in martial arts. Based on his words, she could infer that the child's extraordinary hearing was related to the martial arts he cultivated.

The martial arts of the Central Plains were mostly from large sects, with swords, spears, swords, spears, and kicks as its main form. The martial arts of the Central Plains were all from large sects, with swords, spears, and spears as its main form.

Seeing the awkward atmosphere, Liu Wei started to talk about the topic, but it was unexpected that it caused the child to be even more vigilant. She was helpless, and could only pacify: "You are still young, and have the most basic instincts, logically speaking, training in martial arts is the best, but I saw that your internal energy is thicker, and your hands and feet are not strong. If my guess is correct, you are training in forging eyes and ears. I'm just curious about the origins of your martial arts, as well as how many levels you have cultivated to now. If you don't want to answer, you can just ignore the farthest distance of one feet. "

She kindly explained it to the child, but the child continued to look at her with a tense gaze. She had no choice but to not ask about it.

"It's a bit messy here. If you don't want to stay, then I'll send someone to take you back." Liu Wei could only reply in the end.

Ji Bing did not speak. It was not because he did not want to say it, but because he did not know what to say.

The first part of his training was taught by Uncle Sixteen, who taught the most basic skills of all the Ji's Family. He was like the others, methodically learning them, but as he learned more, he discovered that he could not learn them.

During the first Small Competition, his cousin, who was a year younger than him, exchanged moves. He was defeated by his cousin in three moves, and at that time, he thought it was because he was weak and always went to the alchemy lab to practice.

After that, he woke up early in the morning to practice his techniques, which was always cold and summer. In the second little competition, he met his other cousin, who defeated him in two moves.

realized that he did not have the talent to practice martial arts at that time, and to be honest, the blow was huge. Although he had never thought of training in martial arts that deep, after all, his interest had always been to concoct medicine, make medicine, and judge poisons.

However, all the children his age had extraordinary hands-on skills. Even if he was the only one who had it, he would still be disappointed.

In the third year, Ji Bing gave up on practicing martial arts with Sixteenth Uncle. He was willing to spend more time on reading and learning.

As long as his martial arts were capable of protecting himself, it would be enough. If he could not even protect himself, then he would not be able to take a step out of Lingzhou for the rest of his life.

This was the clan rule, and everyone had to follow it.

Ji Bing said he knew and at that time, she had already planned to die in Lingzhou for her entire life.

Until he was six years old and the uncle suddenly looked for him and asked him if he really wanted to stay in the Lingzhou and not go out for the rest of his life.

Ji Bing said that he had no other choice. If he couldn't learn martial arts, he couldn't protect herself.

If he learnt it, he could still protect himself, and asked if he was willing to try again. He said, Ji's Family did not have any children who would admit defeat.

Ji Bing agreed on the spur of the moment, and from then on, his life became one of family, the pill house and her uncle's house.

Two years later, his cultivation technique had had some success. Now, after three years had passed, he could hear any sound within a mile, as long as he wanted to hear it.

At the same time, he was able to see the color of the ants and what they were doing from a distance. There were several in total.

Although he did not know that his five senses were useful to protect him, and if they were to fight, his eyes and ears would not be of much help, but in the field of alchemy, he was like a fish in water.

He could hear the sound of burning flames and see how the pills were being refined. He was able to adjust the intensity of the fire and the pill formula. The medicines he made, be they the antidotes or poisons, were all top quality.

Ji Bing said, I still can't beat cousin and cousin, uncle said, but you can hear their breathing, see their movements, and also see that they can use medicine, making them unable to move.

The uncle said that his advantage was unique.

Ji Bing actually did not understand, but since the uncle had worked hard for him, he was touched. With the item lost, the clan was in chaos, and Sixteenth Uncle was sent out to look for lost things.
