Wen Shisan
Chapter 741: Death
Outside, a light drizzle was falling. White smoke rose into the air, lingering in one's line of sight. It was as if one was in a fairyland.
The drizzle drifted into the pavilion along with the breeze.
Occasionally, one or two raindrops splashed onto Ji Yunshu's face.
The person outside the pavilion was dressed in a black robe embroidered with auspicious clouds. There was a piece of translucent purple jade on his waist. His hair was tied up in a high bun, and a greyish-white hair band was tied to his waist. This person had a pretty face and an imposing appearance. His whole body emitted an aura of wisdom, and his eyes were gentle and arrogant. If one stared at them for too long, they would sink in.
He was a handsome man with an elegant demeanor.
However, he did not come with good intentions.
Wen Shisan entered and bowed. "Greetings, Your Highness."
Jing Yi replied, "Shisan, there are no outsiders here. There is no need to be so courteous."
"Thank you, Your Highness."
"This prince would like to introduce someone to you." Jing Yi was very enthusiastic. He turned his gaze to Ji Yunshu and raised his hand. "This is the famous Teacher Ji in the capital. Not only is she an expert in solving cases, but she can also draw portraits by tracing bones. She was also the one who solved the missing girls case that caused a sensation in the capital. Not only that, she is highly regarded by His Majesty and Prince Rong. She is a rare talent."
Thank you for the compliment!
Wen Shisan bowed to her. "This humble one is Wen Shisan. I have long heard of Teacher Ji's intelligence. You have solved countless cases, and every one of them was able to reveal the truth. It is this humble one's honor to meet you today."
Although he was gentle and courteous, he clearly had the heart of a wolf and a tiger.
However, out of courtesy, Ji Yunshu stood up and returned the greeting. "Young Master Wen is too kind."
Her tone was cold.
"This humble one has learned that Teacher Ji has taken over the 'Lin Capital Case'. The case of the Imperial Duke fourteen years ago involved more than seventy skeletons that were burned to death. It will not be easy to investigate. After all, it has been fourteen years, and they were all burned to death. I truly admire Teacher Ji. However, if there is anything you need help with, or if Teacher Ji has encountered a difficult problem with those skeletons, just say the word and this humble one will be more than willing to help Teacher Ji solve your problem."
What?
Ji Yunshu slightly opened her eyes. She wasn't surprised, but she looked at the man in front of her with surprise.
At the same time, Jing Yi picked up his teacup and took a sip. He looked at the half-full cup of tea in his hand and gently swirled it. Then, he raised his head and stood up, "This Prince forgot to introduce Teacher Ji. This is Wen Shisan, a right-hand man recruited by this Prince this time. He is also a capable person like Teacher Ji, and an extraordinary person who has solved countless cases. Last year's serial killings in Jiangzhen were solved by Wen Shisan. In a short span of three days, not only did he solve the killings, but he also solved the shocking case of White Bones in Liusu County. That's how we managed to apprehend the real culprit.
There was a pause!
His face was full of arrogance as he met Ji Yunshu's cold eyes. His thin lips parted, "He can also draw portraits by tracing bones."
Showing off!
It turned out to be a kindred spirit!
Wen Shisan?
She had never heard of this name before.
She had only heard of the name Zhou San, an evil person who parted ways with her four years ago!
Ji Yunshu frowned and said calmly, "I didn't expect Young Master Wen to be so talented. This humble one is just a scholar and naturally can't compare."
"Why are you being so humble, Teacher?" Wen Shisan said, "I have heard of Teacher's great name before I came to the capital. If I can solve this case with Teacher, I will die without regrets!"
I don't believe that you will really die!
Jing Rong continued, "Teacher Ji, this Prince wanted to give you an olive branch and let you and Shisan help this Prince solve this case. Who knew that you would be the same as Jing Rong, stubborn and inflexible. One could have been a carefree prince in Yufu, but he refused to give up and insisted on returning to the capital. The other could have brought that idiot home safely if he helped this Prince solve the case, but he insisted on trampling on this Prince's good intentions. This Prince is really sad and very disappointed!"
Jing Rong revealed a distressed expression.
Disgusting!
Ji Yunshu felt her stomach churn. Just looking at Jing Yi's face was enough to make her sick.
She raised her chin slightly and said firmly, "Didn't you capture Wei Yi to blackmail Prince Rong and me? If you want to achieve your goal, forgive me for not being able to cooperate. " As she said that, she glanced at Wen Shisan and chuckled, "Since Young Master Wen can solve cases and draw portraits from bones, this humble one can just sit back and watch the show with you helping Prince Yi."
Wen Shisan replied, "This humble one is no match for Teacher Ji. Now that His Highness is willing to ask you to solve a case, why refuse his good intentions? Moreover, it's a pity that I can't solve this case with you. "
"No need to be sorry!" She said coldly, "It's much more interesting for us to be rivals than to work together."
Huh?
Rival?
That means …
Ji Yunshu said, "This humble one originally didn't want to take over the Dried Well Case, but at this moment, this humble one has decided to help Prince Rong find the murderer and bring him to justice."
Her voice was loud and clear.
Wen Shisan said, "This is very interesting. In that case, this humble one will do his best to learn from Teacher."
He cupped his hands.
Ji Yunshu nodded lightly and looked at Jing Yi, "This humble one still has important matters to attend to. Thank you for your tea, Your Highness. Farewell."
"Take care, Teacher Ji."
She prepared to leave.
However, she had only taken two steps when she passed by Wen Shisan. She didn't know if it was intentional, but he stretched out his leg and tripped her.
He suddenly staggered and his body fell forward.
Fortunately, Wen Shisan reached out to support her.
The next moment, Ji Yunshu immediately bounced back and glared at him.
"Teacher Ji, be careful. It's raining today and the road is very slippery."
"Thank you, Young Master Wen."
"You're welcome."
Then, Ji Yunshu's petite figure disappeared into the rain.
She walked against the rain.
Looking at her figure, Wen Shisan's eyes darkened, but there was a hint of a smile on his lips.
Calculating the time, it's been almost four years!
Who would've thought that he would come back?
After she left, Jing Yi asked him with a serious expression, "Shisan, are you confident about this case?"
Wen Shisan replied, "Your Highness appreciates and thinks highly of me. I will definitely help Your Highness find the murderer."
"As long as you can solve this case, this Prince will reward you handsomely."
"Thank you, Your Highness."
… …
Ji Yunshu left Prince Yi's estate. Shi Zijin was waiting for her at the door with two umbrellas in her hands. She handed one of them to her.
Ji Yunshu took it and opened it to cover her head.
"Where are you going, Teacher?"
"Prince Rong's estate."
Shi Zijin didn't ask and followed behind silently.
Ji Yunshu held the umbrella in front, holding something in her hand. She opened her palm and saw a small rolled up piece of paper.
Wen Shisan had secretly stuffed it into her palm when he helped her up.
She opened it and read.
There was a neat line of words written on it: Teacher, long time no see.
Her expression darkened. She gritted her teeth and crumpled it into a ball, throwing it on the ground.
