Chapter 72: The Mu Family's Old Mansion
The middle-aged man half-bent down and said to Ye Jingtao, "Young Master Ye." β
Ye Jingtao walked inside, and the man carried the young man behind him.
Together, they came to a small cottage, which was decorated in a Chinese style similar to that in the reef vault.
There are also two stone lions at the door, which look like the old mansion in the past.
Ye Jingtao turned sideways and asked the man to go up, there was a piece of jade on the man's waist, and in the middle of the gate, there was just a concave hole, and the man put the jade in his hand in that hole.
Gradually, the door opened.
"It's really getting better and better now. Ye Jingtao watched as a barrier appeared above the entire wall at the moment when the gate opened, and slowly descended.
This is an outside master switch, and only this piece of jade will do.
After entering, when the door closed again, the barrier reappeared.
The things around him didn't seem to have changed much, and they were still things that Ye Jingtao remembered when he was a child.
There is a large pool in front of the door, there is a rockery, and there are small fish in it, and if you walk over the small bridge above, you will see the hall.
This bridge can also be contracted, and it can be delayed for some time when it is temporarily avoiding the enemy.
There are two small rooms next to it, which are generally slept by people, on the men's side and the women's side, most of them just do chores.
But now that it has been used to accumulate debris, Ye Jingtao covered his nose: "The change is still very big." β
"No one has lived here for a long time, and many of the workers have been dismissed. The middle-aged man led Ye Jingtao across the bridge.
In the hall across the bridge, a woman was kneeling on the ground, with a string of Buddhist beads in her hand and muttering something in her mouth.
"Madame prays here every day until noon. The man said to Ye Jingtao.
The woman didn't seem to be disturbed at all, and she was still in her position just now, chanting Buddhist scriptures by herself.
Ye Jingtao waved his hand and said, "I'll stay for dinner today, you go and prepare." β
He walked around, this place is indeed very simple, when he was there before, that is, he played in the study and the backyard behind, either practicing or studying, but it was quite suitable for self-cultivation here.
In the end, Ye Jingtao sat on the chairs on both sides, he watched the woman praying, and also closed his eyes and listened to the woman's soft voice.
The sound of the whole room was swirling around the beams, and the smell of incense and candles filled the room, and the sound of a woman's prayer.
Ye Jingtao felt that his heart was unprecedentedly calm.
As if he couldn't hear anything around him, the woman's voice gradually became louder and louder, and when he opened his eyes and opened the ceiling, his head was almost blank, and his ears were full of women's voices.
The Buddhist scriptures had to drill into Ye Jingtao's heart over and over again.
I don't know if it's because I keep looking up, Ye Jingtao feels a little dizzy.
He sat up straight, looked at the small Buddha statue in front of him, and was in a trance for a moment.
The woman's voice was still amplifying, but Ye Jingtao saw that the woman's mouth had not changed, how could the voice become louder?
Ye Jingtao suddenly stood up and ran outside.
The man had already cooked the meal, and when he saw Ye Jingtao's figure, he shouted loudly: "Young Master Ye, you can eat soon!"
But Ye Jingtao seemed to be completely inaudible, ran all the way forward, and finally left the old mansion.
The woman got up from the ground, turned around, and saw the man standing by the door and looking out: "Why did you open the door?"
"Ma'am. The man also turned around when he heard the voice, bowed before saying, "Young Master Ye came just now." β
"Yunfei?!" the woman's face was full of surprise, and she walked a few steps quickly, "Why is he here?" Is there any news from Li'er, or did Mu Chen ask him to come to me?"
"I don't know the leaves, I just ran away. The man also glanced at the wide open door.
A look of disappointment was evident on the woman's face, and she finally lowered her head and returned to the room, where she continued to kneel and recite the sutras.
"Madame, it's time to eat. The man tapped a spoon on the dining cart next to him.
But the woman still didn't move, she just recited her own Buddhist scriptures.
Finally, the man shook his head and left.
A tear slipped from the corner of the woman's eye, and the shape of her mouth said, "Li'er." β
After Ye Jingtao came out of the Mu family's old house, he went back to Mengfei directly.
When he was in the old mansion just now, he saw Xiaoxiao reciting Buddhist scriptures, and he suddenly understood that this music box was indeed the point.
After he returned to Mengfei, he immediately called Li Feng and Zhang Xuan, as well as a few of his brothers.
Everyone gathered in Ye Jingtao's office, Ye Jingtao took out the previous music box, opened the music box, and the music inside was released.
Everyone didn't understand what Ye Jingtao meant, and looked left and right.
But suddenly a person actually started beating people: "I said what are you looking at me for?!"
"So many people are looking at you, why do you just say it to me!" The man was not to be outdone.
Slowly, the people around him began to do or insult the people around him, and he seemed to be very irritable.
It was useless for Li Feng and Zhang Xuan to call it, and the scene almost got out of control for a while.
Ye Jingtao suddenly closed the music box, and as the music disappeared, it seemed that everyone's eyes had returned to normal.
Some people put their hands down from other people's bodies: "How can I put my hands on your shoulders?"
"What are you doing with your fist at me?"
Li Feng and Zhang Xuan glanced at each other, and finally looked at Ye Jingtao.
"Now I know what's going on!" Ye Jingtao said proudly.
Zhang Xuan took this discovery to the police station, and after the demonstration, the police suddenly realized: "It turned out to be because of this!"
None of them had paid attention to the role of this music box before, and it was just treated as a simple suicide.
And Ye Jingtao was also attracted by this color when he saw red, but he forgot that the biggest feature of the music box was the sound.
Now the truth is slowly emerging, and the police have opened a case for investigation and investigated it as a similar case.
Zhang Xuan just came out of the police station, but he didn't expect that a group of reporters had been surrounded outside.
When they saw Ye Jingtao, everyone handed their microphones to Zhang Xuan's mouth: "May I ask, Mr. Zhang, what is the current situation, it is said that there have been two suicide cases in Mengfei now, could it be a homicide? Could this be a coincidence? β
Zhang Xuan glanced at the policemen beside him, and one of them immediately realized and hurriedly came out and said, "The temporary situation is not clear, Ye, we are investigating." β
Two or three policemen escorted Zhang Xuancai out of the police station.
Ye Jingtao received a notice from Zhang Xuan and planned to use some of the previous Lin family's contacts and staff to temporarily control the pressure of public opinion.
I want to fight Yu Tianzhen and I have something to be busy with recently, and it is estimated that I will be busy for a while, and I can deal with one less thing.
But once again, there was an uninvited guest in his office.
This time Bai Lulu broke in directly, and no one dared to stop her, I had seen this eldest lady before and didn't know what to say, so Ye Jingtao, who had never bowed his head, actually compromised to help her.
The content on the news also said that this was Ye Jingtao's favor, and Ye Jingtao had never clarified, and everyone didn't know whether to stop it.
Bai Lulu directly pushed open Ye Jingtao's office door and threw her bag on Ye Jingtao's desk: "I don't know how you said it to that fool in Sunai, but I didn't do it." β
"I know. Ye Jingtao was not surprised at all, as soon as he heard the sound of high heels outside, he guessed that it was Bai Lulu, "So there is any direct connection between this matter and your breaking into my office?"
"Of course there is!" Bai Lulu took out a threatening letter, "This fool thinks that I won't know about it like this, and dares to write a threatening letter to threaten me!"
"Where did this come from? How do you know he wrote it?" Ye Jingtao took the threatening letter in his hand and looked at it, what was written on it: Public clarification and apology.
It's still spelled out of words cut out of a newspaper.
Ye Jingtao was speechless, how many years ago was such a modus operandi, and there are still people using such a naΓ―ve way.
Immediately afterwards, Bai Lulu took out her mobile phone from her bag and turned on a video, which was a surveillance.
