"Yes," Qiao Yan replied. Wei Chihong's question is not surprising, her surname is Qiao, and now she is only a few steps away from Qiao's mansion.

Wei Chihong's eyes showed a hint of inquiry, "So, are you Qiao Xianxi's descendant?" ”

Qiao Yan nodded.

After the defeat of the First Sino-Japanese War, Maguan cut Taiwan, Qiao Xianxi, who was then the Minister of Reclamation and Pacification of Taiwan, crossed the island with his family and bought a British villa. Around 1917, Qiao Xianxi's son Qiao Zhi, who was Qiao Yan's great-grandfather, built another villa next to the villa, and added a corridor to connect the two buildings together, commonly known as Qiao's Mansion. The two villas are called the building and the small building, the building is in disrepair, and now Qiao Yan and her sister Qiao Ran live in a renovated small building, Chen Axiu, the granddaughter of the old housekeeper of Qiao's house, has been living here, and after the two sisters moved in, Aunt Axiu was responsible for taking care of their daily life.

"Didn't you just ask me if I wanted to sit at home and have a cup of coffee?" Wei Chihong said lightly, "Does this still count?" ”

Qiao Yan was stunned, this was her warning to the stalker, and it was used by Wei Chihong as an excuse to get started. But she quickly responded with a smile, "Of course it counts, it's an honor for the detachment leader to come to the humble house." ”

Yu Chihong walked away, he strode forward, Qiao Yan could only trot behind him, as if Yu Chihong was the master of Qiao's mansion. She gasped and snorted, "It's inexplicable! ”

Qiao Yan's voice was very low, but Yu Chihong obviously heard it, his footsteps paused, then slowed down, and slowly approached the gate of Qiao's mansion.

Qiao Yan took the key to open the door, and led Yu Chihong through the garden to the small building where she lived. The small building, also known as the "Octagonal Building", has a total of five floors, designed by the French at that time, and got its name because the façade of the exterior wall is octagonal diamond-shaped. Wei Chihong seemed to be very interested in everything around him, and kept looking around.

"You seem to be very interested in my family", Qiao Yan couldn't help but open her mouth.

"I'm really interested," Wei Chihong generously admitted, "I've heard a lot of stories about Qiao's Mansion, and it's better to see than to hear, and today I finally have the opportunity to visit it." ”

"What's the story?" Qiao Yan quietly looked at Wei Chihong, she wanted to know what kind of purpose this cold-faced boss had in entering his subordinates' homes on the first day of meeting.

Yu Chihong pointed to a small door blocked by cement on one side of the garden, "That small door was specially excavated by your great-grandfather Qiao Zhi's sixth aunt when she was critically ill. But there was no back door to the garden, so your great-grandfather ordered the housekeeper to arrange for the men to dig the small door overnight. But when the small door was opened, the sixth aunt recovered from her illness, and since then she has left behind a rare object that the name of wives and concubines in this old era cannot be surpassed. ”

Qiao Yan was stunned when she heard this story, she only heard Aunt A Xiu talk about it after she came back this time, and even Hong Bingwei, an expert in Haidu literature and history who has a lot of exploration of the history of the Qiao family, did not mention it in the chapter on Qiao's mansion in the book "Going to Zhulang Island to See the Old Villa", and Wei Chihong actually understood it so clearly.

Qiao Yan and Yu Chihong entered the living room one after the other, Qiao Yan's sister Qiao Ran heard the sound and ran out, and when she saw Yu Chihong, her eyes flashed with surprise, "Sister, this is ......"

"The head of our criminal police detachment, Mr. Wei Chihong", Qiao Yan introduced to her sister.

Qiao Ran is four years younger than Qiao Yan, with a beautiful appearance and an elegant and delicate temperament. She stared straight at Yu Chihong with both eyes, as if she was probing something on his face.

Yu Chihong was stared at by her very uncomfortably, shrugged his shoulders slightly, and left the place.
