Round 369 Tibetan Suspicions
Xi Shiyi's study is very large, covered with an expensive navy blue Persian carpet, and there is a retro table lamp with a green lampshade of red copper in the twenties and thirties on the desk.
Although the place is large, but it is full of a variety of books, celebrity biographies, word stickers and other objects, generally speaking, the living room of the home to highlight the profound artistic and cultural atmosphere, the most intuitive, the most effective way is to hang a few pieces of calligraphy, calligraphy style hanging and content can also reflect the head of the family's knowledge and artistic taste, such a person as the Xi family, naturally will not lack these, there is a painting on the wall' The word "good as water", each stroke is very powerful, strong in the flowing style, and like a galloping horse, in one go, living in the United States since childhood, not much research on calligraphy, but the mother's calligraphy attainments are very high, so she also knows a little, although this word does not have the realm of Wang Xizhi and Yan Zhenqing, but she thinks that the most vigorous penmanship she has seen.
Don't think about it, it must be from Xi Shiyi's handwriting.
The words are good, but the good is like water......
She tugged at the corners of her mouth, and there was a hint of mockery in her eyes.
The meaning of goodness is like water, people's character should be the same as water, do things like water, still like water, Ze is all things without fighting for fame and fortune, when it comes to the word fame and fortune, which of these old guys of the Xi family is not a person in Vanity Fair, for the glory of the Xi family, everything can be ignored.
Hanging these four words is simply ironic to the extreme.
"Miss......" Yang Bo saw her staring coldly at the calligraphy and paintings in the study, and couldn't help but call, "This is the master's study!" ”
"Hmm!" She moved away from the calligraphy and began to look closely.
The room was neat, there were no signs of fighting, there was no blood on the carpet, and the windows were tightly closed, the possibility of someone intruding and attacking could be ruled out, she looked around, and her eyes suddenly fell on a multi-treasure pavilion in the corner.
Duobao Pavilion has six floors, and there are a lot of antique porcelain on it, and she knows that the price is expensive when she looks at it, but it is not these that attract her, but the fact that there are many photo frames on the third floor of the past is level, and she curiously walked a few steps closer.
In the photo frame are photos of her mother Xi Shutong in various eras, from childhood to adulthood, there are single and group photos.
Uncle Yang walked up to her and said, "After the death of the young lady, the master did not allow us to take out the photos, but since I met the eldest lady, he specially asked us to find all the photos of Miss Shutong, and also found the best craftsmen to order these photo frames......"
If it weren't for his ruthlessness and determination, her mother would not have run away from home to live in the United States, never to return.
Now remembering, what is the use, she took a picture frame and flipped it over the cabinet.
Kangxi watched it with relish, and couldn't help sighing, "Ann, my mother-in-law and you really look alike." ”
He had seen it when he was a child, and Xi Shutong's appearance in the photo frame was really similar to her when she was a child.
"It's me like my mother, not my mother like me!"
Kangxi pointed to a large photo frame in the center, which was a group photo of Xi Shiyi and Xi Shutong, looking at the age of seven or eight years old, she was sitting on Xi Shiyi's lap obediently, this is an old photo from decades ago, Xi Shiyi looks very young, unlike the beard now, the face is clean, wearing a Mao suit, eyebrows are heroic, and he is a beautiful man.
"Don't look at it!" Flip the photo upside down.
Kangxi knew that she didn't like these things, so she didn't look at them anymore and focused on those porcelain antiques.
There are really a lot of good things in this Xi family, and they should all be genuine, but I don't know if they were bought with money, or left by their ancestors.
Seeing that he was so engrossed, she couldn't help asking, "When did you become interested in antiques?" ”
"I'm looking to see if there is anything we love the Xinjueluo family, you know, our family doesn't have anything left by our ancestors, if there is here, I think I can move one back." He joked to Yang Bo, "That lotus plate looks like it is a ...... from the Qing Dynasty."
Uncle Yang hurriedly protected the antiques, "These are all my master's treasures!" ”
Last time, Kang Qi climbed over this Duobao Pavilion and fell a lot of treasures, and these few pieces were the only ones left.
Kangxi played with taste, "Baby? I left the most precious thing of your lord a long time ago, what are these rare things. ”
"Huh?" Yang Bo blinked his eyes, not understanding.
Kangxi stretched out his hand and hugged her, kissed her on the face, and said to Yang Bo, "Look, this is a big baby!" ”
He bet that if Xi Wan was willing to go back to Xi's house, let alone a lotus plate, the entire Duobao Pavilion Xi Shiyi would be willing to let him move back.
She curled her elbow and turned him, "It's not serious!" ”
"It's boring!" He rubbed the place where she had been abducted, "You've also seen the study, there's nothing suspicious, why don't we go back." ”
The eldest master of the Xi family is gone, and this funeral will definitely not be held.
Uncle Yang said anxiously, "Miss, the master is your grandfather, you can't just leave." ”
Although there is no evidence that Xi Shiyi may be in danger, he just feels uneasy in his heart, he has been a poor man in the Xi family all his life, and he is sure that his master will never disappear without explaining anything.
She didn't plan to leave, the reason was not because Xi Shiyi was her grandfather and had any compassion, but because she found something very wrong, "Kangxi, you get out of the way!" ”
"Huh?" With a wave of his hand, he quickly jumped away from where he was standing, "What's wrong?" ”
"The pattern is wrong!" She squatted on the ground and touched the carpet.
"Pattern, what pattern?"
Yang Bo understood, looking at the carpet that he had touched, "Hey, why is this pattern reversed?" ”
The more high-end carpets, the more attention is paid to the fit of the pattern, no matter where it goes, the patterns are paired, so even if more materials will be wasted when cutting, this purpose will be missed, anyway, the wool is out of the sheep, and the price must include the scrapped material part.
The navy blue carpet has a three-dimensional pattern that is shallower than it, and if you don't look carefully, you really can't see it, but if you change the angle and find the right light, you can see it clearly.
She picked at the edges with her fingers, and in order to fit the angle of the floor completely, this kind of carpet will be cut into a piece quickly, and it will be laid out slowly, and it will not arch because of the wrong size.
The top is a set of Rui beast diagrams, the direction of the head is right, but the order of the four claws is reversed, obviously the feet of the back head should be the front head, because the front of the foot paws step on the ball, but now the ball is only left with an arc, which fully shows that it is not aligned, and it is like a puzzle, and the two square carpets are reversed.
Yang Bo helped dig up the carpet buckle, this one should be the one in the back, and the one in the back is the ...... He followed the direction to find it, and the piece happened to be under the Duobao Pavilion, and it was not pressed by the wooden foot, so it was easy to take out.
When he took out the carpet that was pressed on His Excellency Duobao, he smelled a smell of blood, and he subconsciously touched the stains on his head, thinking that the cleaning maid was lazy and afraid of being discovered, so he moved the flowers and grafted the trees and hid the stains to His Excellency Duobao.
But when his hand touched the slippery stain, he looked up and saw that it was bright red and terrifying.
"Blood, it's blood!" He screamed, and the carpet fell in shock.
It was indeed blood, because it was navy blue, which covered the blood red, and it became clear when it touched the skin.
Her eyes sank, there was blood, but she didn't see anyone, and sure enough, something happened.
The carpet is close to the area near the Duobao Pavilion, where Xi Shiyi may be standing, and then ...... She stood up, measured the distance, and according to his height, when she fell to the ground, it would be exactly the end of the carpet that had been replaced.
There was nothing sharp here, a stab was unlikely, only a heavy object on the head.
"Miss, is this the master's...... The master's ......" Yang Bo's eyes were red.
"You don't have to be so nervous! With this amount of bleeding, he can't die, unless he has severe anemia! Although the amount of bleeding is not much, there are many dangerous areas in the person's head, and there is more blood and less blood, and she is not completely sure that he is really fine, she will say this just to appease Yang Bo and save him from something wrong.
"But...... But ......"
"You get up first, help me see, is there anything missing from the things on the Duobao Pavilion?"
"Missing?"
Kangxi knew that he was frightened, and reminded, "What does it mean to let you see if there are any heavy objects on the cabinet that can smash your head are missing." "What is not seen must be a murder weapon.
"Smash your head!?" Yang Bowei shouted, and his heart beat even more chaotically.
"Uncle Yang, the top priority is to find your master, you don't have to think about the rest!"
"Good! Good! Yang Bo wiped away his tears and carefully counted the things on the Duobao Pavilion.
After a while, he exclaimed, "Less, really less, one jade ball made of hibiscus jade!" ”
"How old?"
"It's about that big!" Yang Bo compared the size, looking two laps smaller than a football.
A ball of this size made of jade, if you hit the door of the head, you can definitely stun or kill you.
"Miss, sir...... Lord......"
"Be quiet!" Kangxi covered his mouth, "You need absolute silence now!" ”
Yang Bo looked at Ying Ying with two red eyes, she was silent, her brows were squeezed into a line, and she looked in a contemplative state.
Xuan Ying muttered to herself: "Suppose Xi Shiyi was hit on the head by the jade ball, and he fell, fell here......" She pointed to the replaced carpet, "If he was conscious, he would definitely call someone, but now everyone is looking for him, which means that he didn't call someone at that time, and he is probably unconscious...... It is impossible for a person who is unconscious to disappear by himself, and it is impossible to change the carpet, so there must have been a second person in the study at that time. ”
"Hmmmm......" Uncle Yang looked excited when he heard this.
"Don't make a noise!" Kangxi stopped him, "Do you still want to save your master!" ”
Yang Bo shuddered for a moment and quieted down.
Xuan Ying continued: "There is only one entrance and exit of the Xi family, and the guards have not seen anyone go out, so it is impossible for him to be taken out......
But if he is in Xi's house, he has searched for all the places he should be looking for, but he can't find it, why?
"Uncle Yang, under the bed, under the wardrobe, storeroom, have you looked for it?"
Yang Bo shook his head, who would have thought that Xi Shiyi would have such a thing when he was looking for it, so it was naturally impossible to find these places.
She opened the cabinet to reveal no one but some scrolls, and she turned around and shouted, "Send someone to find it!" Search every room! ”
"Okay, I'll go right away!" Yang Bo broke away from Kangxi and stumbled out.
"Whoa, if Xi Shiyi is really smashed, who is the murderer?" It's impossible that he's tired of being alive and smashing himself, even if that's the case, how could he be gone.
She was still immersed in her thoughts.
No, if you want to hide people, you can hide them here, such a big cabinet is not hidden, why choose another place, wouldn't it be easier for people to find out when they are carried out.
She closed her eyes and paced back and forth in her study......
Why go to such lengths to carry people out......
Why?
Suddenly, the light in the study flickered, dimmed for a while, and then came back on.
This is the scene of the murder, and the lights are so bright and off, which makes people feel gloomy.
Kangxi complained, "The wiring of this house must be aging, there is electricity for a while, and there is no power for a while, so it is better to find a flashlight first, so as to save the power and go out again." ”
Blackout......
That's right, blackout!
When Xi Shiyi was hidden, it must have been a time when the power went out.
But why create Tibetans after a blackout?
Just thinking about it, Lu Meiling's crying voice sounded outside the door, "Yang Zhongyi, you let people drive them back, Mingcheng's funeral hasn't been held yet, what to send to the crematorium, I don't allow it, do you hear it!" ”
This sound made her eyes open, and the light in her eyes was amazingly bright.
I see!
