Chapter 122: Starry Night
Lu Li's bright eyes were filled with excitement.
Affected by the family environment, he is very interested in detectives, and when he was a few years old, he followed his father and brother in this field, and now, these interests are not less, but they are getting stronger and stronger. Suddenly came to ancient times inexplicably, an unfamiliar environment, unfamiliar social rules, unfamiliar humanities and mundaneness, all of which made him afraid and afraid, and only detectives allowed him to be comforted.
The same rice raises a hundred kinds of people, no matter when, where, there are always traitors, there are always strange evil things, find out the wicked, the process of finding clues and sorting out the facts layer by layer is even more refreshing, this is the great satisfaction of running the brain to the extreme.
Now, Lu Li is standing at the scene of the murder, facing a secret room, how can he not be excited!
The state of the deceased at the time of death, the hidden reaction of the whole Yu family, coupled with this secret room, he subconsciously thought that this case was very unusual, and there must be a different secret!
Again, he looked closely, this time focusing on the doors and windows.
This is the private courtyard of the elder sect's wife, and no one will dare to break into it at will, he asked Dongxue, how should Zhenyue entertain outsiders. Dong Xue replied that his wife was married outside, and she didn't have any friends in Jingzhao Mansion, so she basically didn't need to entertain others.
Lu Li nodded, concentrating on the room.
The bedroom is on the easternmost side of the whole row of rooms, and the main hall is first entered by the door, because no outsiders will come, so the door between the main hall and the bedroom is not locked or latched. There is a screen in front of the door, disconnecting the view from the bed, and there are two windows, one facing the bed, and the other behind a small screen on the side of the bed. Generally, a toilet will be placed behind the small screen on the side of the bed in the female room, and a window will be installed to disperse the smell.
The window behind the small screen is not big, and it is a little high, Winter Snow Road, "Mrs. loves to be clean, sometimes even when she gets up at night, she is willing to walk a few more steps to the West Wing official room, this toilet is rarely used, and it is only placed here for emergencies, so there is little smell in the room, and this window is also closed all year round, and it is easy to open." β
Lu Li nodded, and walked to the window facing the bed again.
The window was a little bigger, four feet wide and five feet high. The window is opened into two doors, with side-by-side protruding handles in the middle, and the handles are very delicately made, with carved lines on the rounded arc, like a carp reads when it bends over and wants to jump over the dragon gate. The carp's tail bent just to buckle the window, and its head was raised high, and this raised part was erected with a delicate Wunan window latch, just pinning the window. The window latch is connected to the tail of the left handle, that is, the window latch is pushed up and to the left, and the window latch will obediently hang on the left handle, at this time hold the handle with both hands, or put it on the two window malts, and gently push it out, and the window will open.
The window is a window with a ruyi treasure bottle pattern, and the paste is not window paper, but a light blue light gauze, which has a hazy beauty.
Lu Li carefully looked at the scene and tried it, perhaps in order to ensure safety, the window latch is not particularly flexible and smooth, and it needs to be forced by people before it can be opened or fallen. That is to say, if a person stands outside the window, carefully adjusts the position of the window latch, and pushes the window back, the window latch will not obediently fall and buckle.
The light blue light yarn pasted on the window has two characteristics, one is that it is very strong and constantly torn by human hands, like Lu Li, you have to use tools to get it open; The second is that the pasting technique is very exquisite, and there is no seam at all, and it is impossible to open it. So if a person is outside, trying to find a gap to open the window screen, and reach in to adjust the window latch, it can't be done.
But this window is not high, Lu Li stood in front of the window, the bottom of the window was not yet to his waist, if a person enters and exits from this is very convenient, children can also do it.
Lu Li looked at the window, and took a few steps back to observe everything close to the window, the library, the incense table, and even the bed opposite, he carefully checked it, and did not find any suspicion.
It is difficult to bolt the window from the outside, and it is even more difficult to open the door facing the main hall. Compared to the window, the door is higher, bigger, and has nowhere to borrow, and Lu Li can't think of the possibility that someone can latch the door outside.
After that, he checked the rooms in the west chamber again, and Dong Xue said that for safety, the windows of these rooms are never opened except for special circumstances. Because it is not used often, the window latch is very tight, Lu Li looked carefully, and there is no trace of recent opening.
Finally, taking a turn around the scene and keeping all the states in mind, Lu Li walked out of the room and walked around the courtyard again.
β¦β¦
Such a murder scene is interesting, and it proves two things.
If the murderer is Yu Tianyi, then he is stupid.
If the murderer is not Yu Tianyi, this person must hate Tianyi very much and wants to crucify him very much.
A secret room where no one can enter or exit, there is a homicide, can the murderer only be the people in the house......
Before leaving, Lu Li worked the winter snow road.
Looking at her age, Zhenyue is nearly ten years older than Dongxue, Dongxue must not be a caring maid who grew up with Zhenyue, she is just a companion, or a companion who can be driven away at will when Zhenyue is in a bad mood, and she is definitely not very favored. And a companion is not favored by the master, and the status of the family is definitely not good, she is so afraid that her voice trembles, she walks tremblingly, her lips are gray, and her eyes are full of fear and anxiety, which is normal and pitiful.
Dongxue hung her head, "Sir, you're welcome, these are all things that a maid should do......"
Lu Li understood her mood and couldn't help but remind, "The braided rope in your sleeve pocket is exposed." β
The news of Zhenyue's death was too sudden, and the Yu family didn't have time to change into suitable clothes, and it was impossible for Dongxue, the first people to arrive at the scene, to change their clothes, so they hurriedly turned their clothes over and put them on, and all the brightly colored objects on their bodies were gone, such as the golden lilacs on Xia Er, and the yellow and green silk silk on Dongxue's hair bun.
The golden cloves were too small, and Lu Li had noticed that Ruxia was pinching them in her hand before; Silk hair ornaments are easy to put upside down, not afraid of rubbing or pressing, but when the big action is frequent, it is inevitable to show the head reads;. The masters of the Yu family are in a very bad mood now, and Dongxue wants to be caught a little bit of a handle and be angry, which can be said to be more than worth the loss.
Dong Xue's eyes were even more panicked, and she quickly put away the silk silk and knelt down to Lu Li to salute, "Thank you Mr. for reminding me, the maid is really ...... I didn't mean to ......," he said, and he couldn't help crying.
"I know, you don't have to worry." Lu Li called the person up, "You are also tired today, go back and rest." β
"The maid is not tired, the wife is dead......" Dongxue wiped the corners of her red eyes, "The maid has to guard the wife's ......"
It can be seen whether a person is really sad, Dongxue's words and deeds, as well as the deep sorrow revealed between his words and demeanor, make Lu Li feel that he is underestimating the loyalty of the ancients, even if he is not taken seriously, this Dongxue is also dead set on Zhenyue, and the tone of the last sentence is not at all like reluctantly going to the guard, but there is a feeling of guarding Zhenyue from being bullied by Yu's family.
But Dongxue is obviously so thin and weak, and she doesn't look bold...... Probably because when disaster strikes, everyone's potential is different.
Lu Li stopped Dongxue's footsteps and walked out of Zhenyue's courtyard.
At this time, Yu Zhi had already communicated with the Yu family about the follow-up matters and left first. There is no way, people are not tired when they are old, and the autopsy is a job, but the investigation of the scene is not, Lu Li was surprised when he proposed to take a look at the scene again, but he still supported and encouraged Lu Li's spirit and said goodbye in advance.
Shen Wansha wanted to communicate with the Yu family about something, but Lu Li was afraid that he would suffer a loss, so he asked Zhao Zhu to go with him. Zhao Shu was born with a black face, he was looking at the world at any time, and he was born with an innate noble aura, Lu Li often complained in his heart about him, but it is undeniable that in this case, he stood behind Shen Wansha, and he could very well enhance his style and aura, so that the Yu family knew that they were not easy to provoke, please think about the consequences before provoking.
This trick is undoubtedly useful, and Shen Wansha talked to the Yu family about the conditions.
Zhao Shu actually didn't want to go all the way with Shen Wansha, but Lu Li rarely begged him, he couldn't bear to let him down, and the secret guards would follow Lu Li to ensure safety, so he agreed. So as soon as Shen Wansha's matter was over, he immediately walked out, and Shen Wansha shouted for a long time, 'Brother Zhao, wait for me', and ignored it, and quickly found it.
Lu Li saw Zhao Zhu outside the courtyard gate, his eyes raised slightly, and he smiled easily, "The matter is over?" β
Zhao Shu snorted, came over and shook Lu Li's hand.
Lu Li dodged, "The Dragon Boat Festival has passed, how can it be cold." β
didn't hold the soft little hand, Zhao Zhu's eyes darkened, but he didn't insist, "Let's go." β
Lu Li walked out side by side with him, "Where is Shen Wansha?" β
"Outside."
Shen Wansha was not much slower than Zhao Zhu, and soon appeared out of breath, "Brother Zhao, you are too fast, you didn't even hear you when you called ......"
Zhao Zhu didn't even look at him.
Lu Li smiled and squinted at Zhao Zhu, comforting Shen Wansha, "He has always done whatever he wants, you don't pay attention to him." β
Shen Wansha relieved himself, "I don't blame Brother Zhao, if it weren't for him, my Yu family wouldn't have listened to it like this!" β
"What did you say?"
Shen Wansha's brows furrowed, and he looked at Lu Li quietly, "I want to live in Yu's house." β
Lu Li could understand what he meant by thinking about it, "You want to watch the Yu family?" β
"I always feel that these people are wrong, and this may be β‘β‘ reads;. According to the envoy, the envoy is not with us, who knows what the character of the catchers of this Jingzhao Mansion is, what if they are bought, I don't want Zhenyue to die in vain, I want to watch them in person, if there are clues, I will find clues, and if I can't suppress these people, don't think about it. β
Shen Wansha's face was calm, and there was sadness in his voice, "This is also ...... The last thing I can do for Zhenyue. β
"Good!" Lu Li agreed very simply, "You just live here, so you can watch with your eyes wide open, quietly pay attention to the movements of those masters, and ask more about the past events." It is easy to separate grievances from the past, and many times if you find the motive, you can find the murderer, if this case is solved, you will remember a great achievement! β
No one will be calm when a friend dies, but Lu Li doesn't want Shen Wansha to be unhappy and depressed, so he simply finds a direction to keep him busy, and there will be a lot less mourning when he is busy......
Shen Wansha was really encouraged, his eyes lit up, "I wanted to help you a long time ago, but I always couldn't help, this time I have a chance!" β
"It's just that you can't ignore the security issue," Lu Li turned his head and asked Zhao Zhu, "Brother Zhao, your subordinate Hong You...... Can you ask him to help for a few days and follow Shen Wansha? β
Shen Wansha waved his hand again and again, "No, no, I am such a noble young master, the Yu family doesn't dare to mess with it!" β
"I'm not afraid of 10,000, I'm afraid of just in case." Lu Li looked at Zhao Zhu, waiting for him to answer.
Zhao Zhu didn't think that Shen Wansha would have an accident at all. Ever since he communicated with the Lord of Cheshire, there would always be some martial artists in disguise not far from Shen Wansha, but they didn't dare to come forward because of his identity. Of course, he didn't like others to break into his domain, so he casually took a hand to protect Shen Wansha by the way, probably these people were more happy to see this result and were farther away. But if Shen Wansha is alone, these people will inevitably come around.
But he didn't like Lu Li's disappointment even more, and he didn't know why, he couldn't see Lu Li's unhappy face more and more.
Then he nodded, "Okay." β
After Lu Li, Zhao Zhu and Shen Wansha said goodbye, they left Yufu, and before leaving, they saw that the white yarn had been hung in front of the door, and the white lanterns reflected the white yarn, which was very sad in the night.
Lu Li let out a long sigh.
"Not happy?" Zhao Shu shook Lu Li's hand again.
Xu is immersed in his own thoughts and can't extricate himself, Xu is used to holding hands like this, Xu is subconsciously thinking that it doesn't matter if there is no one in the night, Lu Li did not avoid Zhao Shu's hand.
"Such a case...... It's not always pleased. β
However, it is not good to bring his negative feelings to his friends, Lu Li quickly changed the topic, "Who do you think is the murderer in this case?" β
Zhao Shu pondered for a moment, "It's hard to judge right now. β
Lu Li admired Zhao Zhu's thinking logic, in the past, every case, especially near the end, they could always have a clear mind and guess the same direction. Zhao Shu never drew conclusions lightly, and so did he himself, speaking with evidence.
Then he changed the question, "What do you think of the Yu family?" β
The corners of Zhao Zhu's mouth sarcastically picked, "A group of idiots with their own thoughts." β
Lu Li agreed very much, but it is not ambiguous for fools to kill people, they have no way to catch people immediately, this person must be very proud to hide behind...... Think about the mood even worse reads;.
Every time he encounters a murder, Lu Li will devote himself to it, completely forgetting that he wants to rest, even if his body rests, his mind does not stop for a moment, as if he is very eager to solve the puzzle, no wonder he can't get fat......
For the first time, Zhao Shu felt that his fiancΓ©e was very sad.
Seeing him like this, even if he goes back, he won't rest obediently......
Zhao Shu looked up into the distance, suddenly bent down, wrapped his left hand around Lu Li's waist, and his right hand wrapped around Lu Li's thigh, hugging the person like a child.
"Ahh
Before he finished speaking, his body rose into the air with Zhao Shu, and the sense of crisis brought by weightlessness made him hug Zhao Shu's neck tightly......
In May, it will be summer, the night is deep, but there is no coolness at all, and the wind is warm on the face, just like this embrace.
Zhao Shu borrowed strength from the eaves wall from time to time, Lu Li's eyes drifted with the ups and downs, and after the sudden surprise, his mind gradually calmed down, his vision widened, and he enjoyed the boundless night.
The night was clear, moonless, and starry.
Living in the concrete forest for a long time, Lu Li rarely sees such starlight, and he can't help but feel his heart swaying every time he sees it.
Ancient houses were not built very high, as long as you stood a little higher, or a little farther away from the city center, the view would be very open. The sky was as smooth as silk, full of bright stars, and the mischievous blinking of the stars was like a pearl falling on a black jade plate, which could fall off if you didn't pay attention to it. Lu Li can see the Milky Way clearly, like a streamer running through the entire starry sky, and even find several constellations.
"What a beautiful ......"
Zhao Zhu finally landed in a high attic. I don't know whose attic it is, it's very large, it's flat, and it's dark all around...... I guess the host's house is not there.
Just borrowing it for a while to look at the night sky, Lu Li didn't feel embarrassed.
When you are too busy, you need to rest, and when your thoughts are too busy, you should also find your favorite way to relax, this kind of adjustment can help clear your thoughts, even if you don't find deeper clues, you can also relax your brain, and then use current affairs to get twice the result with half the effort.
Lu Li used to pull his father or brother to carry out such activities, but he didn't expect things to fall on him and forget about it, and he didn't expect that Zhao Shu would have the same idea and enforce it.
And he also knows what he likes......
Lu Li exhaled a long breath, tilted his head slightly, and thanked Zhao Shu sincerely, "Thank you." β
The young man's side face melted into the starlight, and the stars seemed to fall under his eyes, shining brightly. He held his chin, bared his little tiger teeth, and smiled brightly and warmly. This sentence of thanks, gently, softly, Zhao Zhu's heart seems to have been swept by feathers, and it seems to have been scratched by a tender milk cat, and the itch is incredible.
"Hmm." Zhao Shu nodded with a tense face, very conflicted in his heart. He wanted to get closer to Lu Li, Lu Li's body had a particularly good smell, as soon as he was close, he wanted to be closer, it was best to have no distance, but it was very hot, and the fire that burst out of his body could not be extinguished or extinguished, which made people very uncomfortable.
The stars were shining in the sky, and Lu Li simply lay down with his arms on his pillow, "How do you know that I love to look at the stars?" β
"On a clear night, you always like to go out and walk around, even in your room, and by the window." Since leaving the Shu realm, leaving the place that is always misty and misty, at night, Lu Li is like a cat that will be excited at night, he will open the window to look at the stars, and if he can't see enough, he will go outside the room and continue to look, sometimes he will be confused and look at it for a while, and he will not be happy on a rainy day......
Zhao Shu knew a lot, but most of them didn't say reads;.
"You're so nice!" Good friends care about themselves so much, Lu Li is very moved.
"Hmm." Zhao Zhu also leaned down and lay side by side with Lu Li.
The two of them were arm to arm, enjoying the moment.
"After you and Shen Wansha left, I went to the scene of the crime again to find clues, guess what I saw? A secret room! Lu Li's thoughts are still inseparable from the case, but when he is relaxed, he says that it feels completely different from when he is nervous.
Although Zhao Shu was a little dissatisfied with Lu Li's proposal again, he knew Lu Li's personality very well, and it was impossible for Lu Li to really let go of the case completely, so he ...... As long as he's happy.
"Secret room?" Zhao Zhu's very cooperative tail note was raised.
"Well, the Chamber of Secrets!" Lu Li looked at the starry sky and told Zhao Shu about the bedroom situation he saw, and when he was excited, he turned his head to face Zhao Zhu, "Isn't it interesting?" β
Zhao Shu watched Lu Li's moist lips open and close, he was a little thirsty for some reason, his throat was agitated, and his voice was slightly hoarse, "Interesting." β
"The murderer must be in the house! No matter who this person is or what identity he is, he must be in the house! Lu Li came to a conclusion with great certainty. Yu Mansion is not a vegetable garden, anyone can enter, let alone the courtyard of the housewife, if you can enter and exit, you must have the right to enter and exit, the number of people is very limited, thinking of this, it is still very promising to solve the case, Lu Li smiled and bent his eyes.
Zhao Shu agreed with Lu Li's conclusion, but he didn't understand one thing, "Why don't you dissect the corpse?" β
"Autopsy is needed to solve the case, if there is a murder, as long as the body is dissected, there will always be some hidden details, but the world ...... How to say it, I can't say that I am ignorant, anyway, no one likes their deceased relatives and friends to be dissected, this is common sense, I understand and respect. β
Even in modern times, there are often many family members who do not agree to dissect, Lu Li's voice is a little deep, "Zhenyue is Shen Wansha's friend, Shen Wansha cherishes it very much, if I want to dissect, Shen Wansha will also agree, but his heart will hurt more, and besides, Yu's family is not a fuel-efficient lamp...... Therefore, I think that it would be best if the homicide case could be autopsied, but the current situation does not need to be autopsied for the time being, and you can also try your best to find clues on the side first. β
He's not obsessed with autopsies, he just wants to solve cases.
Zhao Zhu's slender eyes gradually stretched. He didn't expect that a young man, with a divine skill in his hand, would be willing not to compete and show off his skills...... If you are someone else, even if you have experienced a lot, you still enjoy being in the limelight at Lu Li's age.
Lu Li's heart has always been very positive, he always knows what he wants, and he does not hesitate to make great strides on this road.
Such a person...... How could he not care!
Zhao Shu couldn't help but turn his body sideways and lean closer to Lu Li.
Lu Li is much shorter than him, and in this position, as long as he stretches out his hand, he can hold Lu Li in his arms. He looked at Lu Li's upturned lips, and a certain desire was about to move, but he already knew Lu Li's intentions, so he didn't want to scare him, so he only lowered his head and gently imprinted a kiss on the top of Lu Li's hair.
Only this time, he understood very well, not subconsciously, not ignorant, he was real, and wanted to kiss Lu Li......
The starlight shone silently, and the faint starlight shrouded the two snuggling figures, and the night was quieter.
