Chapter 226: Confirmed
She could always hear the footsteps, and the ghosts and ghosts worshipped them, but they never showed up, and they couldn't see the bad. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
If it weren't for the fact that her five senses were different from ordinary people, and she could hear such a subtle footsteps, she probably fell asleep at night and was suddenly killed, and she didn't know it.
At the thought of dying in his sleep, Yin Seventeen couldn't help but shudder.
He calmly put down his teacup and walked lightly to the door.
She looked at the light brown wooden door and didn't move for a long time.
The latch was well latched, and when she entered, she latched it tightly.
For doors and windows, she has always been tight, and always feels that closing the doors and windows can be at least half safe.
But now facing the footsteps outside the door, she suddenly felt a little panicked, and she didn't know the bottom in her heart.
It's not a ghost, but the footsteps can be so light that it's almost silent, and it's not bad.
But it's worse than Zhanyan and the leaves, at least if they don't want her to hear the footsteps, both of them can really step on the snow without a trace and quietly.
The footsteps outside are obviously not good, and the kung fu is not yet home.
Even so, it should be more than enough to deal with her, a three-legged cat with only a little bit of skill since modern times.
The pestle sat in front of the door for a long time, and no movement was heard outside the door.
The footsteps seemed to reach the front and back of her room, and then stopped moving half a step.
He came, but he didn't leave.
Why?
Did you come for her?
The one who brought the box?
Holding his breath, he seems to be comparing his endurance.
The footsteps outside didn't move, and the Yin Seventeen inside didn't move anymore when he moved to the door.
She thought that the footsteps outside should know that she was at the door.
When she went downstairs, the footsteps followed, but they didn't follow her.
The lobby of the inn is very quiet, there are only her, Xu Lianhua, Xu Yili, and the shopkeeper and four people, and the footsteps want to hear something, but in fact, they don't have to go downstairs.
At the entrance of the corridor on the second floor, as long as you listen with bated breath, you can always hear it, not to mention that she, Xu Lianhua, and Xu Yili did not deliberately lower their voices when they were chatting.
When she went upstairs and returned to her room, the footsteps sounded again, and when she came to the door of her room, she neither knocked nor left.
They knew each other's existence, and no one took the lead in taking a step.
At such a quiet distance, in such a quiet night, Yin Qilian's own heart beat like a drum, and she could hear it clearly, as well as the ...... outside the door Inhale!
It's a human, not a ghost.
So who is it?
The sound of rapid breathing represents uneasiness and nervousness, but the previous footsteps are so calm and calm, such a contradiction between one and the other belongs to the same person, who will this person be?
And what is the purpose?
Don't be afraid.
What is there to be afraid of her?
Yin Seventeen repeated this sentence in his heart several times, his hand slowly stretched out, and his fingertips fell on the door latch.
There were thousands of thoughts, too many thoughts in her heart, anxious and fast, one scene after another, so many things passed in her mind in an instant.
Hesitation, hesitation, weighing, all this is only a time of less than half a pillar of incense.
Just as she was about to pull out the latch, the sound of snorting outside the door changed, and then the sound of footsteps sounded again, and soon disappeared!
Yin Seventeen's eyes widened instantly, and without hesitation, his hand quickly pulled out the latch and opened the door.
It's a pity that it's late, she didn't even see a figure!
I can't describe my own chagrin, and I realized a problem because I lost the opportunity just now - it turned out that she really didn't have much courage.
After froze at the door of the room for a while, Yin Seventeen slowly squatted down, clasped his knees with his hands, and his fingertips couldn't help but move to the center of his forehead and eyebrows.
It was here that I made a hole in my last life......
"Seventeen!"
Yin Seventeen looked up indifferently and saw that the leaves in front of him had squatted down to watch her fall, his eyes were full of worry:
"Seventeen, what's wrong with you? How do you crouch at the door? Is something going on? β
Seeing the leaves falling, he suddenly felt a lot more relieved, and Yin Seventeen pulled the corners of his mouth:
"It's okay, but I found out suddenly...... It turns out that I am also afraid of death......"
After a good night's sleep, Yin Seventeen was already much better, but Ye Ziluo was not very relieved.
Thinking that he only left for a while yesterday, what happened at that time, and then Yin Seventeen also told him, after hearing that legendary marriage with a not simple heart, he was also shocked for a while, and he didn't expect that there were even human lives involved.
Later, it was even more shocking to him, someone was able to avoid the eyes and ears of the Ye family and go directly to the second floor of the inn!
And the target is Yin Seventeen, his master.
He couldn't imagine what irreparable things would have happened if he had come back a little later last night, with the opening of Yin Seventeen.
Despite this, Yin Seventeen still insisted on watching the dead words.
First Lin Ya, and then went out of the inn to Wuzi Lake to see the dead words of Yao Jun and Xiaoyaozi.
It was useless to persuade Ye Ziluo, so he had to follow closely around Yin Seventeen, and he was extremely vigilant to protect it.
When he came back from Wuzi Lake, he saw that Yin Seventeen was so tired that he closed his eyes and fell asleep, and at that time he knew that the blood of the Yin family girl really had a miraculous effect!
I can't tell what it felt, after Ye Ziluo settled down and rested in Yin Seventeen, he was playing in the guest room that floated out, and as soon as his legs were weak, he actually sat down at the door of Yin Seventeen's room.
This sat down until dawn.
Xu Yili went out of the guest room early in the morning and was surprised for a long time when he saw Ye Ziluo sitting in front of the door of the seventeenth room of Yin.
But after all, he was not familiar with Ye Ziluo, and he only roughly knew that Ye Ziluo came to the Lotus Inn with Yin Seventeen, and after only two glances, he went downstairs.
What's more, Xu Yili is a housekeeper, what to ask and what not to ask, he knows better than anyone else.
Seeing the stranger guarding the door of the seventeenth room next to him, he would have asked, but it was Ye Ziluo who was guarding the door, so he naturally wouldn't talk much.
But he had a very good impression of Yin Seventeen, not to mention that Yin Seventeen had just helped him untie a knot with Xu Lianhua six years ago last night, so he would not be indifferent.
As soon as he arrived downstairs in the lobby, Xu Yili went directly to the counter and asked the shopkeeper:
"When did the other boy who came with Yin Gongzi come back last night?"
The shopkeeper shook his head blankly, how did he know?
Last night, he slept soundly, not much like a pig.
Xu Yili asked again: "You didn't get up and open the door?" β
The shopkeeper shook his head again, no!
Xu Yili was surprised, but he didn't think much about it, just thinking that it was probably because Ye Ziluo came back early, he didn't know, after all, he also arrived at the Lotus Inn at night.
What's more, about the fall of the leaves, he actually asked casually.
Xu Yang and Xu Lianhua couldn't be seen left and right, and Xu Yili asked the two more.
The shopkeeper had something to say this time: "I didn't see it!" Brother Yang drank too much fruit wine yesterday, and he will probably still fall asleep and not wake up! The hostess......"
He lowered his voice a little: "I look weird last night, you used to be an old buddy in this inn, although this will not be, but the love is still there!" I don't dare to go to the backyard to knock on the door of the proprietress 's room, Brother Yang estimates that this will be a hangover and headache, why don't you take a look? β
Not to mention, Xu Yili was also a little worried about Xu Lianhua, who was so pampered by the shopkeeper, he turned on his toes, and really walked in the direction of the backyard.
The shopkeeper sent Xu Yili into the side door of the backyard connected to the lobby, and said that if Xu Yili wanted to go back to the Lotus Inn, he would welcome it, or the kind that was warmly welcomed!
When Yin Seventeen got up and opened the door, he just wanted to step out, but he was scared enough by the leaves at the door.
She glared at him angrily.
Ye Ziluo explained: "It's not intentional, it's just thinking about things last night, thinking about it...... I sat like this all night. β
Yin Seventeen asked, "What do you think?" β
Ye Ziluo was silent for a while and said, "It's better not to let people know about the bloody thing like last night." β
Yin Seventeen didn't expect that what Ye Ziluo had been thinking about all night was actually about her innate ability.
She smiled and nodded.
It should have been hidden, and she didn't intend to shout it to everyone.
Ye Ziluo didn't say anything anymore, and she also knew that Yin Seventeen was just because he was the Ye family member who was recognized by the Yanjing Yin family and guarded by her side, otherwise she wouldn't be so calm in front of him to dripping blood and looking at the dead words.
When the two went downstairs, Xu Yili had just entered the side door of the backyard.
Yin Seventeen saw it and asked the shopkeeper, and the shopkeeper said truthfully, she didn't ask again.
Let the shopkeeper have breakfast at the table in the lobby near the door of the inn, and then the two of them sat down.
As soon as he sat down, he said the dead words about Lin Ya, Yao Jun, and Xiaoyaozi last night.
Lin Ya's dead words - I'm sorry!
Yao Jun and Xiaoyaozi had nothing, they were blank, and there was not even a black fog representing grievances.
Ye Ziluo said: "It seems that the three of them really died of poison voluntarily." β
Yin Seventeen nodded: "That's true, but Lin Ya's death words also just confirmed that my previous speculation was correct, the murderer took advantage of Lin Ya's indebtedness and made Lin Ya take Hedinghong with the mentality of repayment, which is a suicide case." β
Although Yao Jun and Xiaoyaozi did not leave any dead words, they died without resentment, which also happens to be in line with the saying that they obeyed the crane top red by themselves.
Willingly, so there is no resentment.
There must have been something that made the three of them feel guilty about the murderer at the same time, and then they were used by the murderer, and finally there were three cases of poisoning one after another.
These three cases seem to be suicides, but in fact, they were all forced to commit suicide by the murderer.
But what could it be?
Ye Ziluo said: "The people who sent the square wooden box couldn't find out, but they are still investigating, and I have also added people to protect you." β
Yin Seventeen said with a smile: "Actually, there is no need to increase the manpower, the enemy is in the dark, I am in the light, this kind of thing is really impossible to prevent sometimes, as long as you are by my side, I will feel at ease!" β
Thinking of how much she had lost her usual level last night, she realized that since she set foot on the way back from Yanjing, she seemed to have invisibly imposed a lot of pressure on herself.
I was so panicked and timid last night, probably because the pressure was at a critical point.
And she couldn't take that step in the first place, because her courage was not enough, and her guts were not as strong as she imagined.
Thinking in his heart, Yin Seventeen continued to talk about another thing:
"As for the person who delivered the box...... That footsteps from last night must have been. β
Thinking of this, Ye Ziluo frowned:
"You said that the footsteps stood outside your door before I went back to the inn, but when I went upstairs, I didn't see anyone, not even a shadow."
Yin Seventeen said: "That person has good skills. β
Ye Ziluo asked, "Better than me?" β
Yin Seventeen shook his head: "No, it's worse than you and Zhanyan, but that person is very alert and reacts quickly, probably when you go up the stairs, that person notices it, and then leaves quickly." β
Ye Ziluo got up and said, "I'll go and ask the people who guarded around the inn last night." β
It's good to ask the Ye family's ears and eyes, maybe you can ask about the person's body and appearance, but it's not in a hurry.
Yin Seventeen let Ye Luo have breakfast before going.
Because of the thorough conversation last night, Xu Lianhua did not look like before today, and got up early in the morning to be busy in the back kitchen.
So the breakfast that came from the second end of the shop was not made by Xu Lianhua herself, but by the cook invited by Xu Lianhua with a lot of money.
Yin Seventeen took a bite of the sesame shortbread, and after chewing it, he said vaguely:
"It's really the boss's cooking skills are better!"
Ye Ziluo scooped a bowl of gruel for Yin Seventeen, and asked her to eat it slowly with the cake, don't choke.
He ate as fast as he could, and soon finished his breakfast and left the inn.
When the leaves fell out, the shopkeeper stood at the counter and looked at it boredly, thinking that this boy was really busy.
Yin Seventeen didn't care much, Ye Ziluo had always eaten quickly and gracefully, she was used to it, and she knew that he was anxious to find the person who gave her the square wooden box.
Not only him, but she was also anxious.
When he slowly drank the last mouthful of gruel, Xu Yili came out of the side door of the backyard.
The shopkeeper immediately got out of the counter and asked Xu Yili:
"How? Can the proprietress get up? β
Xu Yili said: "It's up, but the spirit is not very good, when Xu Yang is sober, you let him pay more attention to the boss lady!" β
The shopkeeper was a little confused: "You mean ...... old man"
Xu Yili Hengdian Xiaoer glanced at it: "You just do it!" β
After speaking, Xu Yili walked out of the inn.
When he arrived at the gate, he saw that Yin Seventeen was having breakfast alone, he only nodded his head and said hello, and left without saying anything.
Yin Seventeen also smiled back, nodded his head, and was gone.
After all, Xu Yili is now the housekeeper of the Lin Mansion, and Lin Ya has just been killed, and there is only Lin Hu and an orphan girl left in the mansion, so he can't stay in the Lotus Inn, so he has to go back to the Lin Mansion to help Lin Hu.
After the shopkeeper came back to his senses, he stared at the gate where there was no one for a long time, and he was a little indignant because he didn't fully understand the situation:
"That's it? Now that the boss lady is in this situation, how can she leave like this? I don't stay for a day and a half...... It's so unjust! β
Yin Qiqi didn't agree with what Dian Xiaoer said, but she didn't speak, she really didn't bother to explain for Xu Yili.
Xu Yili was able to come to the Lotus Inn yesterday evening, it was really righteous to her, and she really cared about Lin Ya's death, after all, the master and servant were the same.
As for Xu Lianhua, Xu Yili should also be quite righteous, but I don't know what he did and said when he went to the backyard?
He asked the shopkeeper to tell Xu Yang to pay more attention to Xu Lianhua's words, and she heard it clearly.
For Xu Yili to say such a thing, it seems that Xu Lianhua's condition is really not very good.
It looked okay last night, as if it could be relieved, and the knot in my heart should be solved.
But at the moment, it seems...... Hanging.
