Chapter 222: Sister's Footsteps (3)
As the proprietor of the Yintai Building spoke, he got up and down, his eyes kept wandering around the room, obviously a little scared.
"This Sister Bai used to be a little lady who worked in our silver building. She is from southern Sichuan and is very popular with guests. Just last year, on the thirteenth day of the lunar month, she didn't know why she couldn't think of it, in this room...... Committed suicide by seppuku in this house. ”
The proprietor said, his mouth trembling, he glanced at Runiang quickly, and then withdrew his gaze.
"She died a terrible death, and I also invited a master to quietly do the rituals. Unexpectedly, after the first seven, inexplicable footsteps can often be heard in the building. Knock knock knock...... Sister Bai has a lively temperament, she walks one step and three times, and the little ladies in the whole building, except for her, no one will make such footsteps. ”
Later, the person surnamed Jiang died in Huangzizhai, and some people began to spread it...... Legend has it that this house is haunted ......"
Jiang Yanzhi frowned, and committed suicide?
This is very suspicious, usually the little lady seeks death, the most common is to hang or jump into the river, because it is simple and convenient, and it can be achieved easily.
But seppuku suicide is different, cutting one's own flesh with a knife is much more difficult than killing someone, how painful it must be!
Those who can do this are not ordinary people.
Why did this Sister Bai choose such a tragic way of suicide?
He thought about it, and looked at Xing Yuanwai who was kneeling on the ground, kneeling was atonement, and seppuku was corresponding to Sister Bai's suicide.
In this case, it is clear that someone is complaining about Sister Bai!
If you want to investigate this case, you have to start with the cause of Sister Bai's death.
Jiang Yanzhi sighed, he had tried a lot of cases, and as soon as he saw this beginning, he had a bad speculation in his heart, and this eighty percent was another tragic story.
"Sister Bai is so dignified, why did she commit suicide?"
The proprietor paused and said, "I heard that it was her childhood sweetheart's husband who was going to marry another rich girl, and she couldn't stand the blow, so she ......."
The little lady named Ru Niang moved her mouth, but she didn't speak.
"When Jiang Tuhao died that day, who was serving the plate in the Huangzi Zhai? Is there anyone else in the room besides him? As soon as Jiang Yanzhi's words fell, he saw Ru Niang's body tremble, he stretched out his hand and pointed at Ru Niang, "But she?" ”
The proprietor nodded, "No, there was a man named Ah Ju who was waiting in there that day." But just like today, Ah Ju fainted after screaming, and after waking up, he kept saying that there were ghosts and ghosts. ”
Jiang Yanzhi bowed slightly, "I'm almost asking here, you might as well go out and see those distinguished guests, the Great New Year's is also bad!" ”
Min Weisi, who was standing at the door, glanced sympathetically at the owner of Yintai Building, this guy must be thinking in his heart, of course it's bad, please two of you, what jewelry do you want in the future, can't I deliver it to the door in person? It's just a request to God, please God, please bring two plague gods!
The owner hesitated for a while, he couldn't afford to offend Jiang Yanzhi, he glanced at Runiang, arched his hand, and went out in a hurry.
There was a sudden silence in the room.
Min Weixiu has been waiting for Jiang Yanzhi to ask like a mother's words, or to call the person named Ah Ju over.
Unexpectedly, he ran over with a blank eye, "Weixiu Weixiu, did you bring your mace?" ”
Min Weixiu shook her head, "Sitting in the carriage, coming to a silver building, carrying a murder weapon, I'm afraid that people won't dare to take my money, then I'm going to be called a bully again!" ”
This is simply sad, the mace is such a cute weapon, why did they tremble when they saw it, thinking that she was coming to eat the overlord's meal and take the overlord's money!
Jiang Yanzhi was a little disappointed, "I thought about it, there are no ghosts in this house, so it is impossible to go through any secret room murder case, there is always something we have overlooked." As I was questioning, I was already pacing back and forth, trying the floors in this room, and they were all normal floors, and there was no passage to the room below. ”
"But, this ...... on the top," Jiang Yanzhi said, pointing to the ceiling.
"After the murderer killed, there were no bloody footprints left on the ground, either someone wiped them off, or he would have flown away. It's useless to retreat, what about flying to the sky? From the outside, there are three floors in this small building, and we are on the third floor. But you know, because of the roof, there's usually a low attic on top. ”
Min Weixiu's eyes were shining and she looked at Jiang Yanzhi, and Jiang Yanzhi's ears were red.
This little fat man, why are you so smart!
"It's okay, what mace do you want! You've got a look for me! ”
Min Weixiu said, harder, jumped up, stretched out his hand and poked, only to hear a click, and a fist-sized hole appeared, revealing the corner of a quilt.
Min Weixiu coughed embarrassedly, "I didn't have the strength to do it well, just do it again...... Hey, isn't there still a person living on top of this? ”
As she spoke, she turned her head to look at Ru Niang on the side and asked.
That Runiang is now dumbfounded, there is a little lady in the world who jumps so high, is she a grasshopper?
Also, she punched a big hole in the board of such a thick solid wood, if she jumped a few more times, the third floor was afraid that it would collapse to the second floor......
Ru Niang thought about that scene for a while, her whole face changed, and she came back to her senses suddenly, "Yes, we foreigners who work in the building live in the attic on the top. The local little lady can go home. The owner treated us well, the loft was spacious and very clean. Living here is a great way to save a lot of money. ”
Jiang Yanzhi saw that the topic was far away, and hurriedly pulled it back, "In the past, Sister Bai, was she a guest in charge of this Huangzi Zhai?" It's also strange to say, my aunt likes the jewelry of Yintai Building, and I often come here, but I have never been to this Huangzizhai. ”
Ru Niang's face suddenly became ugly, "No, we don't have a fixed person in charge of which private room, all the guests come, and the shopkeeper will be assigned to which one is empty." ”
Min Weisi, who was standing at the door, smiled mockingly, "Runiang, what kind of bend are you still going around to bully their children's families?" There is a young master, you still don't open the skylight and say something bright? Yintai Building, the yellow word of the house, is not a secret secret ......"
Jiang Yan was stunned, "What is not a secret secret, why don't I know?" ”
Min Weisi glanced at him with satisfaction, "It's good if you don't know, if you know, see if I don't break your dog's legs!" ”
Ru Niang's face turned white, and she bit her lip, "The Huangzi Zhai in Yintai Building is indeed taken care of by a special group of little ladies, which is different from other places. ”
