In this room, Yu Ji couldn't find any more clues, and she needed to go outside to take a look. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

She remembered that Hua Youcai said that he was the only one who had the key to the door, and since he didn't even tell him about the existence of the secret room, he probably didn't tell anyone about it.

There are two conditions for entering that secret room and stealing the Golden Saddle Blood Jade Horse. First, the other party needs to get the key to the study, or there are other secret passages to enter the study; Second, the other party needs to know about the existence of this secret room, and know how to open it, or have a secret way to enter this secret room that has not even been discovered by spending money and wealth.

It's too hard to do.

If it is a monk who can penetrate walls or something like that, he will naturally be able to do it, but then again, if he is a monk, he will not steal such worldly things, even if he is shy in his pocket, he will not steal his things and attract Kunlun's attention.

And according to the saying that there is money to spend, there will be three possibilities. First, it is the thief who spends money shouting to catch the thief, but at least until now, Yu Ji has not found that he has a reason to do so, but this possibility is not ruled out. Or maybe Hua Youcai didn't lie, and the thief stole the key to Hua Youcai, or maybe he got in in other ways. But until now, Hua Youcai hadn't found out that his key had ever been lost, and Yu Ji hadn't found any other secret passages from this study.

So, there must be something that neither she nor Hua Youcai noticed.

After leaving the door of the study, Yu Ji wandered around the entire flower mansion, sometimes as if she was completely enjoying the scenery, and sometimes she touched everywhere, making it difficult to figure out what she was doing.

And in fact, Yu Ji is looking selectively.

Although I don't know what method the other party used, the time of the crime can be determined.

Before inspecting the interior of the study, Yu Ji asked Hua Youcai four questions.

"Who else has the key to the study besides you?"

"No, I am the only one who has the key to the study, and I carry it with me all the time, I am sure, I have never lost it, and no one can take the key from me." Hua Youcai was obviously confident in this, but the locked windows and the unpicked locks undermined the credibility of this statement.

"When was the last time you left the study before the theft?"

Hua Youcai thought for a while, "It was the night before, about three o'clock in the unitary hour...... That's right, it's three o'clock, and that day the fourth aunt came to the study to bring me hot porridge to nourish my stomach, urging me to go back to sleep so as not to hurt my body. When I went out, I glanced at the hour, and it was indeed about three quarters, definitely not more than the hour. ”

"When did you find out about the theft?"

"Early the next morning, it was about midnight, because I didn't finish checking the accounts the night before, I was dragged to bed by the fourth aunt, so I went to the study early the next morning, got up nearly an hour early, and planned to sort out the accounts, but at a glance I saw that the baby that was originally on the shelf was gone." Hua Youcai showed his shrewd side as a good businessman at this time, and he obviously remembered these critical times very clearly.

"What did you do when you found out about the theft?"

"I immediately called the outside nursing home in, and after checking the doors and windows, I cordoned off the study and sent additional men to guard the outside of the study. The inner and outer courts are forbidden to enter and leave after the unitary hour until the hour of the unitary hour. So I sent for a careful examination of all the houses in the inner courtyard, including my own, and even the ground was almost turned over three feet, but found nothing. I also hired men to guard the gates of the pawnshops in the city, and I also took care of the guards at the gates of the city to make sure that my treasure did not leave the city. ”

If what Hua Youcai said was true, then the time of the theft of the Golden Saddle Blood Jade Horse should be from the three quarters of the previous day's unitary hour to the next day's close to the second day's hour. Because the possibility of a thief shouting to catch a thief is too small, until you find evidence to prove that he is lying, let's assume that he is telling the truth.

Of the remaining two possibilities, the one with the secret path is more likely.

Because stealing the key from Hua Youcai's body, he had to hide the gaze of sixteen pairs of eyes, and because he discovered the secret room, he must have been in and out of Hua Youcai's study more than once, and the combination of these conditions greatly reduced the possibility of stealing the key and then stealing it.

Yu Ji didn't think about the possibility of outsiders committing crimes, but after spending a whole afternoon walking around half of the Flower Mansion, Yu Ji felt that it might become impossible. Because of such a large amount of work, it was too difficult not to alarm anyone in the mansion, and it was impossible at all, so Yu Ji locked her eyes on the body of the outer courtyard who committed the crime.

Because by far the biggest possibility is that in the Flower Mansion, there is a secret passage connecting the outer courtyard and the inner courtyard.

And since people in the outer courtyard have taken things, they can't always stay in the secret passage without coming out, so the place where the other exit of this secret passage is located is most likely a place where patrol guards can be avoided as much as possible.

The patrol route of the outer courtyard is very tight, and there are not many long-line loopholes.

Suddenly, Yu Ji's eyes lit up.

The view that had been blocked by the petals of the branches and flowers that overflowed horizontally suddenly became wide, and a large lake appeared in front of him, green as a large piece of jade, and there were almost dark green lotus leaves on the water, which seemed to merge with this lake. The white, pale yellow and water-pink lotus bones and the gulls and herons perched on the side are particularly vibrant.

Caught by such a beautiful view, Yu Ji strolled towards the lake.

It was dusk, and the sunset seemed to be awakened by this scene, desperately squeezing out the last bit of residual heat and brilliance.

Picturesque view.

Counting the ochre-colored lake stones, and the little white gulls that were disturbed by people and flew into the distance, Yu Ji seemed to reflect such a beautiful scenery in her heart at this time.

Near the lake, there is a stone tablet standing quietly, with three simple words on it, writing the name of the lake, Lotus Heart Lake.

And with this monument, this lake is contrasted, is a hexagonal eaves pavilion on the side.

The lake has a name, and the pavilion has a name.

White Gull Pavilion.

The left side of the gull is rigid as if it is imprisoned, but the bird on the right is going to spread its wings and fly high, this word is very contradictory, perhaps the person who built this pavilion also took pity on the white gulls trapped here, hoping that they could spread their wings and fly high.

The courtyard is deep, and so are the birds.

Yu Ji walked up to the pavilion, which contained a stone table and two stone benches, and what attracted Yu Ji's attention was that there was an unsolved endgame on the stone table.
