Chapter 22: Clues

Yun Tianlang: "Why don't you take me directly to the room where Fan Shijie lived last night." ”

Mom didn't dare to slack off, and led Yun Tianlang to the room of mercy, to his surprise, mercy was not glamorous at all, and even a little beautiful and refined, not looking like a dusty woman. As soon as she heard about Fan Shiming's incident, she immediately fainted, and her mother pinched her and poured cold water on her before she woke up again. According to her, Fan Shijie was no different from usual last night, drinking and sleeping until dawn before going back, and when he left, he was fine, and he didn't see anything unusual. When she spoke, her expression was sincere, and her eyes revealed a burst of sadness, probably thinking that Fan Shijie was dead and there was no hope for her to redeem herself, and it didn't look like she was lying.

It's difficult to do now, Yun Tianlang thought to himself, and asked again: "Then what was different from his usual last night, and did anything strange happen?" ”

Pity shook his head: "What strange thing is it? ”

Yun Tianlang said: "Girl, please think clearly, don't let go of a detail, you don't want Young Master Fan to die in vain." ”

"I, I really can't think of anything......" Mercy looked like her mind was in a mess, and tears couldn't stop falling.

Yun Tianlang frowned and looked around the room: "Did Young Master Fan leave anything behind?" ”

He said compassionately: "Yes, the jade Ruyi on the table, the beads in the brocade box, and the paintings on the wall were all given to me by him." ”

Yun Tianlang flipped through the same thing as she said, but he couldn't see anything unusual.

The picture of the beauty hanging on the wall seems to have been painted by Fan Shijie himself, signed by him, and painted Mercy as Chang'e in the moon, which is lifelike and nothing special. Next to the window, Yun Tianlang pushed open the window and looked, "Hey, this window is facing the back alley?" ”

The mercy's room was on the second floor, and under the window was a narrow back alley.

"Yes." Pity seemed to remember something, "By the way, I insisted on saying something last night, that is, before going to bed, Young Master Fan suddenly said that his chest was a little stuffy, and he stood in front of the window like you, official, and blew the wind for a while, and then somehow, he seemed to be a little unhappy, and said it with a straight face." But he went out for a while, and soon returned. I thought he was just going to relieve himself, so I didn't ask much, and when he came back, he didn't say anything, and fell asleep on the bed. ”

"Did he see something outside the window?"

"I don't know about this, after he went out, I went to close the window and didn't see anything." And he came back very quickly, so I didn't think anything was wrong at the time. ”

"Who's walking around here on a regular day?" Yun Tianlang asked his mother.

Mom said: "This is the back alley below, and only the next person can go." ”

Yun Tianlang asked again: "Pity girl, what time did you just say that Young Master Fan went out?" ”

Mercy thought for a moment: "It's late, just after about midnight, and I remember hearing the sound of the watch. ”

"It's so late, who could be down there?"

Mother said: "When it's all here, there should be no one left, except for the one who pours the night incense." ”

Yun Tianlang's eyes lit up: "Do you come every day to pour night incense?" ”

"Come, every day around the hour."

Yun Tianlang was confident now, pretended to say goodbye, and left Zuihua Township.

Yanli was indeed sitting in the teahouse opposite, she was sitting at the window table on the second floor, the afterglow of the setting sun shining on her face, and her long eyelashes left a shadow on her face like two small fans.

The eyes of the smoky girl are so beautiful, what are they hiding under the scarf? Yun Tianlang suddenly thought to himself.
