Chapter 413: Climbing the Window
Five days have passed since the murder on the stargazing platform, Yu Shu left Xinfu early, first went back to the old courtyard of Huixing Street in the south of the city, arranged for Zhou Hu and the two to go to Liu Tan's mansion to watch the door, and bought some things on the downtown street.
In the afternoon, she carried a thick bag of books, returned to the Taishi Library, obviously felt a burst of coldness, it was spring, the sky was warm, a few days ago when walking around in the library, you can still see students wandering around, today she walked through several courtyards, until the vicinity of the women's house, did not see a few people.
The door of the inner courtyard of the women's dormitory is guarded by four middle-aged servants, who usually take turns cleaning the courtyard, taking out to prevent men from breaking in, and taking turns to keep vigil at night, and be careful of the candles. Such a simple manpower is enough on weekdays, but as soon as the murder happened, the female students who lived here were worried.
Although the person did not die in the women's house, the day after the incident, many people still packed up their things and went home, and there are only a few families who are bold and bold in the countryside so far.
Walking to the door of the east courtyard house, Yu Shu paid special attention to the locked door of Ji Xingxuan's house next door, and then opened the door and entered his own room, checking the doors and windows as usual to make sure that her hair tied to the window lattice was not broken.
The east courtyard faces south of this row of seven rooms, the pattern is the same, enter a small hall, with a bedroom on the left, the small hall opens the window to the inner courtyard, one side is closed, the bedroom is just the opposite, the window is open on the north wall, the window is three feet high, the width of the two windows, it is not a problem to jump in open.
Yu Shu casually put the bag in his hand on the ground, opened the window, and looked out, not far away was a courtyard wall, under which a row of trees were planted, but the ground was paved with stone slabs to prevent water from accumulating in the rain.
With his height, Yu Shu leaned out half of his body on tiptoe and turned his head to the right. I easily saw the window of Ji Xingxuan's room not far away, which was the same as what I saw yesterday, it was all tightly closed.
She retracted her head and paced a few steps around the bedroom. I took out the three copper coins in the gap between my waist, walked to the table and threw them a few times, and became a hexagram, seeing that it was a good omen, I decisively collected the copper plate, grabbed the thick bag I brought, and moved a stool to the window. Flip out the window nimbly.
Walking more than a dozen steps along the wall, Yu Shu came to the back window of Ji Xingxuan's bedroom, put his hand into his arms, took out a thin two-ended copper hairpin that he bought at a street stall at noon, stood on tiptoe, groped through the crack in the window to the position of the window bolt, inserted the hairpin into it and clamped the wooden bolt, and carefully picked it open.
The moment I opened the window. Yu Shu's heartbeat was only a little faster than usual.
knew that Ji Xingxuan was involved in a murder case, but because there was no conclusive evidence, he couldn't arrest her. And because it involves Jingchen, you can't act rashly.
But if she didn't move like this, Yu Shu panicked, knowing that there was still a life waiting behind Lu Dao, and she always felt sorry if she didn't do something.
You must know that she chose to live in that dead man's room in the first place, not to prove that she was bold, but not to wait to deal with Ji Xingxuan, a thing with evil intentions.
She entered Ji Xingxuan's bedroom more easily than expected, her shoes left outside the window, and her socks on the clean ground. The forefoot is a little cold.
Looking around Ji Xingxuan's room, there are beds and cabinets, the style is unified in the library, and on the desk by the window, the books that are often read are neatly stacked, and the inkstone is dry. Obviously, the owner has not touched the ink in the past few days.
Yu Shu rubbed the dust in his palm under his waist, walked to the table and swept it, flipped through a few casually, put it back in the original position, looked up, and saw a large folding fan hanging on the opposite wall, and a piece of white bi hung under the fan, and the fan was blank, not even a word.
Yu Shu took a closer look, and it was not difficult to find that there was nothing special about the patterns carved on the white bi, and she carefully identified the hidden fan bone, and immediately sneered.
A good dragon wooden fan, this sinking peach wood, but the most evil thing, a small piece is more than the price of gold, made into such a big fan, compared to a wooden sword to exorcise ghosts are wasted, take it to the sleeping place, deliberately cover it with a fan, cover your ears and steal the bell, not a ghost in your heart, what else can it be.
After taking a turn in the house again, Yu Shu found that not only this peachwood fan, but also Ji Xingxuan's bed, door, and even behind the mirror, there were things hidden to ward off evil spirits and drive away ghosts, a small bedroom, just these few things were worth thousands of taels of silver.
Yu Shu became more and more convinced that Xia Jiangying's death was inseparable from Ji Xingxuan. I really "admire" her that in order not to arouse suspicion, she has the courage to move next door to live, so she is not afraid of the door ringing in the middle of the night.
Speaking of the death of the rabbit and the sadness of the fox, Yu Shu and the dead Xia Jiangying and Cao Youling have only met once or twice, and they are far from having any friendship, but she and Ji Xingxuan are inextricable mortal enemies, there is such a vicious person who thinks about her all the time, how can Yu Shu not worry about the long nights and dreams.
She still clearly remembers the day she found Cao Youling's body, she went back to the women's house to sleep, and dreamed that Xia Jiangying, who was covered in blood, and Cao Youling, who was covered in black face, sat on the edge of her bed, sneered and said in her ear-
"If you look on the sidelines, you will die next."
There are gods in her head, Yu Shu doesn't believe in evil, but she believes in karma, so after that nightmare, she didn't plan to stand idly by.
Otherwise, she will be uneasy and uneasy.
Yu Shu took a deep breath, cheered up, pulled the bag in his hand open, took out the things inside, hid it in a corner of the house that even the owner could hardly find, checked again and left no traces, and then turned over the window and went out.
Who would have thought that in broad daylight, a dignified female operator would do this thing of stealing chickens and dogs.
***
Yu Shu sat in the room for a while, then found a few empty bookbags on the table, carried them, locked the door and left.
Before dusk, Yu Shu returned to the Wangji Building, and saw the two guys talking quietly with a tea tray at the back door, frowned, and quickly separated the other party.
The business of the forgetting machine building is not as good as the overcrowded one that just opened, but the regular customers are fixed, and the few guys who serve tea and food are not enough at the beginning, so Lin Fu hired a few more people, but they are not as expensive as they are, and it is inevitable that there will be lazy and slippery.
"The girl is back."
Xiaoqing saw Yu Shu upstairs, she and Sister Fluttershy's two maids, if Yu Shu was not there, they would only serve the female guests who came to the restaurant, and when Yu Shu came, she had to put things down and stick to her, so compared to the rest of the people in the building, the life of the two of them was the easiest.
When Yu Shu walked to the staircase, Xiaoqing had already trotted down, Yu Shu turned his head to look at Xue Rui's closed door, hesitated, did not open his mouth to ask Xue Rui if he would come back for dinner at noon.
Yu Shu pushed the door open, looked up and was stunned, only to see the long couch in the living room, from beginning to end, neatly stacked more than a dozen stacks of volumes, no less than 100 of them.
Yu Shu's chest jumped suddenly, his eyes were like water, and he pursed his lips and smiled. (To be continued.) If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendation and monthly passes, and your support is my biggest motivation. )
