Chapter 317: The Missing Circle
In the open space in front of the door, several sparrows were pecking, and when they heard the sound of horses' hooves approaching, they flew away in an instant.
Zhimei stopped the carriage at the gate of the courtyard, then jumped out of the carriage, pushed open the courtyard door and looked inside, frowned and turned back to them, and said, "It's empty inside, it looks like no one has lived in it for a long time." ”
"Empty??" Zhishan frowned slightly, walked out of the carriage, jumped out of the carriage with elegant movements, and followed Zhimei into the courtyard.
I saw that the courtyard was desolate, the stone tables and stone benches fell to the ground crookedly, with thick cobwebs on them, and the path leading to the main wing house was also covered with leaves and dust, and the yard was overgrown with weeds, and it seemed to have been abandoned for a long time.
"A few months ago, when I passed by Cangzhou with my brother Zhimei, I also came to visit Brother Zhiyuan's house. Zhizhen looked at the scene in front of him with some surprise, and couldn't help but wonder.
"Let's go, go in and have a look." Zhishan's deep eyes looked around the courtyard and took the lead in walking towards the main wing.
The door was pushed open with a "creak", and everyone couldn't help but gasp as they looked at the mess in the room.
"This is ......" Hua Weiluo frowned slightly and looked at the furniture scattered everywhere on the ground, which had been piled up with a thick layer of dust, and when she heard the sound of the door opening, the cockroaches scurrying around disappeared into the corner in an instant.
"Look at it, they must have been through a fight...... Or is it a struggle......" Zhizhen pondered slightly for a moment, and then said in a deep voice: "Could it be that Senior Brother Zhiyuan's family was kidnapped, and then someone threatened Senior Brother Zhiyuan and asked him to help steal the cheats??" ”
"It's not impossible...... Zhishan looked at the situation in front of him, a pair of eyebrows furrowed slightly, and after looking around for a week, his gaze finally fell on the round table full of dust.
Hua Weiluo watched him stride towards the round table, so she hurriedly followed, and when she approached the round table, she found that the teacup on the table seemed to have been touched by someone, and the thickness of the dust on the table was obviously different from that of other places, and one teacup was moved elsewhere.
"Someone has been here, before us." Hua Weiluo looked at the thickness of the dust on the table, pondered for a moment, and then affirmed: "But looking at the appearance of dust, it should have been many days ago." ”
"It may be Senior Brother Zhiyuan." Zhimei looked at the top of the round table, stretched out her fingers and touched the ash on it.
"It's just that I don't know where Zhiyuan went after he came here......" Zhizhen looked at the traces of movement on the table in front of him, and there were no other clues in the room.
"Let's take a look in the city, maybe I'll find some clues...... Zhishan glanced at the room again, and after making sure there were no other traces, he turned and walked outside.
"In this case, Senior Brother Zhishan, you and Senior Sister are in a group, Senior Brother Zhizhen and Xiaobai are in a group with me, we will act separately, and when the sun sets, we will meet at the Yuelai Inn in the city." Zhimei nodded, and said to them as she walked out with Zhishan.
"Okay." Zhizhen nodded, and then jumped into the carriage lane: "I'll send the carriage to the inn first, and then I'll meet you when I turn around." ”
