Chapter 6 The Ancient Mansion of the Chen Family
Knock knock knock......
Mr. Xu...... I've brought you breakfast and hot water. ”
It was Dongzi who knocked on the door, and Mr. Jin, who was sitting at the door, opened the door casually.
"You're there too! That's right, breakfast is on the table for you, I'll send you hot water to the next room, I'll get you a new set of toiletries later, wait a minute, I'll be back in ten minutes. After saying that, Dongzi walked away, not forgetting to close the door.
"This guy is really conscientious, and he treats the guests so thoughtfully, which shows that the host's family here must be the same as the emperor." Teacher Jin said sarcastically.
"You dreamed last night, too?" Xu Tian asked.
"What? Are you dreaming too? Teacher Jin said in surprise.
"I can't tell if it's a dream or reality, I didn't wait for the signal last night, and then I was about to knock on your door, and then I saw Sitong, Sitong's expression was terrible, and finally I was scared awake. But I didn't think it was like a dream, but when I woke up, everything suggested that it was a dream, which was so strange. Xu Tian said.
"I'm about the same as you, but I'm not as lucky as you, and what I see is a grim old woman." Teacher Jin said.
"Old woman?"
"A man with a red lantern, I didn't actually see the person's face clearly, I was like you, I heard the alarm clock go off and waited for a long time without signaling, and then I was ready to knock on your door. Suddenly there was a red light in the garden, and I turned my head to see a diminutive man standing in the garden with a red lantern. Before I could speak, the man turned away with the lantern in his hand, for he walked a little like an old woman with a slow walk, so I thought it was an old woman. Teacher Jin said.
"And after that? Teacher Jin didn't keep knocking on my door? Xu Tian asked.
"Then I woke up, because when I got up, I found that the door was not locked, so I thought it was strange, I remember very well last night, I went back to sleep after dinner from your room, because we discussed it very clearly before, the door here is very unsafe, so before going to bed I made sure that the door was locked many times like an obsessive-compulsive person, and I am very sure that I locked the door before going to bed last night." Teacher Jin said.
"The only thing we have in common is that neither of us knocked on each other's doors." Xu Tian said.
"You woke up in the morning with the door unlocked, right?" Teacher Jin asked.
"This ...... It's like I didn't close it at all yesterday. Xu Tian said.
"Whether it's a dream or something really happened, there must be something wrong with this, there must have been an ulterior secret in the guest room last night, and he played this routine with the two of us, it seems that the people who are targeting us have no intention of restraining at all, this is completely provoking detectives and police detectives." Teacher Jin said.
At this time, Dongzi came in with a washbasin, Dongzi smiled at Xu Tian and Teacher Jin, put the washbasin and toiletry tools at the door and withdrew, this time Dongzi did not forget to bring the door.
"Let's take a look at the situation first, yesterday I found out some things about this village from Dongzi's mouth, and the old woman you saw should be Mrs. Chen, who served Mr. Chen, and I met her on the way back to the kitchen to help Dongzi deliver the tableware yesterday." Xu Tian said.
"That's good, it's better to be careful anyway, by the way, Xiao Ai went out early in the morning, just now when I went out, I saw Xiao Ai walking to the front yard, I wanted to stop her, but Xiao Ai turned around and signaled to me to leave her alone." Teacher Jin said.
"Let her go! Xiao Ai has always been worried about the affairs in this village, since she won't let us interfere, then let's not help her openly. Xu Tian said.
Teacher Jin had already understood what Xu Tian meant, and the two washed up and came outside after breakfast.
The big man who lived in the innermost part also got up, and like Xu Tian and Teacher Jin, the big man also came to the garden.
When I got closer, the big man didn't look very old, he looked very delicate, and he looked like a little fresh meat.
"Mr. Chu, you can walk around casually today, just go back to your room when it's time for dinner, I will prepare lunch and dinner for you, if you need a supper, please tell me before dinner." Dongzi walked over and said.
"Humph!" The big man was upset and went back to his room.
"Who is this?" Xu Tian asked.
"I only asked clearly this morning, this is what kind of consultant Mr. Chen recruited, and I heard that it is still a relative of Mrs. Chen's hospital, so I didn't dare to ask more specifically, when it comes to Mrs. Chen, it's always a good thing." Dongzi muttered quietly.
"So where are we going now? Also, where did Miss Ai go? Xu Tian asked.
"Miss Xiao Ai and Mr. Yang Qi went out, they went down the mountain to the town, you don't say I forgot, Miss Xiao Ai asked me to bring you a message, saying don't worry about her, she will come back before the evening." Dongzi said.
"Alright! What about us? Is it also going around? Xu Tian said.
"That's not going to work! Mr. Chen has already instructed you to meet you in the front hall at half past eight. Dongzi said.
"So late! It's only ...... now," Xu Tian looked at his phone. "It's just 7:20 minutes, and there's still more than an hour!"
"You can go to the study to pass the time, just over the front hall, just follow this road, didn't you go to the kitchen with me last night?" Walk to the kitchen road, walk along the boulevard in front of the kitchen yard to the gate, it is the road that took you into the courtyard gate yesterday, and there is a garden when you get to the road leading to the courtyard gate, and the garden is the front hall, and the study is in front of the front hall. Dongzi said.
Xu Tian and Teacher Jin walked to the so-called study according to Dongzi's guidance, Xu Tian was shocked into a cold sweat at that time, this study, as well as the various paths in the yard, were very similar to those described in Zhinian Tai Sui.
And there are paths on both sides of this study, and there is a road on each side in front of the study, and there are also thick elm trees planted on the side of the road, although the leaves of the elm trees have fallen now, but behind the thick trunk can still hide a thinner person.
"Do you see? This is the Chen family's house! They are the mansions of Commander Fang. Teacher Jin said.
"This matter must be asked clearly, it seems that we will be busy until dark today." Xu Tian said.
"It's better to get a good night's sleep and hopefully nothing happens." Teacher Jin said.
"What could happen?" An old man in a fur coat suddenly appeared at the gate of the courtyard and said in a deep voice.
When he saw the old man, Xu Tian couldn't control his palpitations at all, because the old man's appearance was exactly the same as the old man holding a cane and wearing a military coat that he had seen in his hallucination before.
