Chapter 147 Find the Gu family
Ji Jin is cautious and observant. He has solved countless cases in Liumen for more than ten years.
He grabbed this bit of information, without disturbing the Pan family, and directly asked the neighbors in the nearby market.
It's not a secret that Aunt Pan works as a wet nurse in the Gu family.
Ji Jin spent a little money and asked.
However, as soon as he asked, he was stopped at the entrance of the alley.
At night, there was no one in the alley. The man in front of him was dressed in black and his face was covered. But he was tall and strong, and no one dared to look down upon him.
"Who are you?" Ji Jin took two steps back alertly, observing the surroundings from the corner of his eyes, trying to find a way to escape.
"Ji Jin, it's best not to know what you shouldn't know." The masked man's voice was cold, and he quickly pulled out a short knife and rushed towards Ji Jin.
Attack fiercely!
He is a master!
Ji Jin quickly dodged and drew out his sword to resist.
He has been investigating cases all year round and has encountered countless dangers, because he has also developed good escape skills.
After being hit by two swords, Ji Jin finally caught an opportunity and escaped desperately.
The masked man is in hot pursuit.
The sound of heavy footsteps sounded in the quiet alley.
Ji Jin staggered to a tall mansion and reached out to grab the door knocker.
"Open the door!"
Ji Jin turned around in horror and saw the masked man chasing after him like a shadow, the dagger in his hand drawing a bright arc under the moonlight.
Those eyes were bottomless, like cold stones blocking the dark blue sky above their heads.
Poof!
The dagger pierced Ji Jin's body.
He could no longer hold the door knocker with his hands, and his body slowly slid down, leaving a trail of blood on the brown door.
The masked man drew his dagger, his eyes were as cold as mountains, and he turned around and left cleanly.
He has killed countless enemies, knows exactly where a person's heart is, and has never missed a beat.
Under the silent night, a flock of jackdaws flew by.
Not long after, the door was opened, and an old servant was startled when he saw Ji Jin on the ground, and hurriedly called for someone to carry him in.
Ji Jin survived.
He was born with an abnormal heart position and escaped death.
After dawn, he saw Chen Jingyu.
"How did you become like this?" Chen Jingyu frowned.
Ji Jin smiled bitterly, his voice hoarse: "Master, in our line of work, your head is tied to your belt, it's nothing. I've been injured much more seriously than this, but I still survived."
"Who is the other party?"
"I don't know." Ji Jin shook his head, "I only know that the other party is a master. It looks like... Jin Yiwei's."
Chen Jingyu had a sullen face.
It involves Jin Yiwei, which is troublesome.
"What on earth did you discover that was so extraordinary that you actually hired the Jinyi Guards to hunt you down?"
"Only one clue was found." Ji Jin said, "The woman the prince asked me to check is not the biological daughter of the Pan family. And the woman from the Pan family once worked as a wet nurse in the Gu family. I think there must be some connection between them.
If we continue to investigate, we will be pursued."
"Gu family?" Chen Jingyu thought for a while and asked his entourage, "Is there a wealthy family named Gu in Kyoto?"
The entourage hurriedly said: "Yes. The family of Gu Hongmiao, the minister of the Ministry of Industry, also had a noble title for his ancestors. However, his descendants have not been able to raise money and have lost it. Now they are in a lot of decline."
"It turns out it's his family." Chen Jingyu pondered, "I remember it was rumored two years ago that his family has a daughter who is a rare beauty?"
