The night was dark, the sky was full of dark clouds blocking the stars and moon, and in the mottled alleys, there was no sound, and occasionally a wild cat passed by, but it was also fleeting, disappearing around the corner.

This is a private house in the east of the imperial city, because the east side is basically inhabited by civilians, so the residence is mainly a bungalow, occasionally with one or two small courtyards, it can be regarded as a big gate.

At this time, it was two watches, and the streets were empty, except for the slow walking of the watch, and the warning sound that had not changed for a hundred years, only the sound of the stick was left.

At this time, he got closer to a red brick and green tile house, and after looking at the mottled vermilion gate, he couldn't help but tighten his clothes and hurriedly walked to the corner of the street.

Just as the watchman disappeared around the corner, there seemed to be a cry from inside the gate, but if you listened closely, you could only hear the whimper of the night wind.

Not long after the watch left, there was a slight sound of footsteps from a distance, and in the faint night light, two figures slowly approached the house.

"Li Siqi, you said that there won't be anything in this house, I was panicked when I saw the case file just now. A female voice floated in, revealing a hint of nervousness.

"Don't worry, little junior sister, with your senior brother here, no demons and monsters can get close, when the time comes, I will walk in front, you can help me record clues." The male voice came, slightly coarse and hoarse, but quite charming.

Soon, the dark clouds in the sky dispersed a little, and in the half moonlight, Li Siqi and Sun Ningshuang, who were dressed in night clothes, stood in front of the house.

Since they joined the Zhenkou Division, they have been in charge of some bizarre cases that happened in the Imperial City, which was originally the authority of Tianfu, but Cai Jinyan handed over these powers to the Zhenkou Division, so in addition to investigating some foreign hostile forces or incidents that endanger the security of the Imperial City, it has also become their job to solve cases.

Of course, there are more than 300 officials in the Zhenkou Division today, and there are many masters in solving cases, but some bizarre cases have to be taken over by Xiao Fei himself.

But recently, Xiao Fei seems to be obsessed with internal cultivation, and often retreats to study his Three Qing Returning Method, and these cases are finally handed over to newcomers, these two newcomers are Li Siqi and Sun Ningshuang.

Although these two people have solved two cases before, they are all ordinary bloody cases, and the perpetrators are just ordinary strong men, and it is not difficult to arrest them.

But the case given to them today is very strange, and it can even be said to be weird, because it involves a murderous mansion, which is the ancient mansion of the Lu family located on the edge of Dongcheng.

Li Siqi looked at the mottled vermilion gate, and whispered to Sun Ningshuang: "There are many rules in the Lu family's house, I heard that this gate will not be opened generally, only when the ancestors are worshiped in the Qingming Dynasty, it is said that the way the Lu family enters and exits is very strange. ”

Sun Ningshuang looked at Li Siqi and asked puzzledly: "How do you know this, there is no one in the dossier at all, it can't be made up by you." ”

Li Siqi said triumphantly: "I'm a person who is more careful, in addition to reading those official files, it is more important to understand some potential things, you know, things under the cover of the truth are more useful than those superficial evidence." ”

Sun Ningshuang pursed her lips and replied: "Then what else have you found? Not entering the main gate is just their rule, and some high-ranking families still don't open the middle gate all year round, so it's not strange." ”

Li Siqi became more and more proud at this time, walked to the vermilion gate, pointed to the mottled colors on it and said, "Senior sister, you see, these colors are actually not paints, and this door was originally navy blue. ”

Sun Ningshuang was stunned when she heard this, and then approached the gate to observe carefully, and sure enough, under the mottled red, the background color of the gate was really navy blue.

"Then what are these?" Sun Ningshuang stretched out her hand and touched the door, feeling extremely rough.

Li Siqi touched his chin and said with Guan Zi: "You think carefully about the two cases that happened before, what do they have in common?" ”

Sun Ningshuang pondered and recalled for a moment, and then said: "The original owner of this house is Lu Shitao, and their family of twelve lives in it, and their family has lived in this house for more than a hundred years. But just twenty years ago, the people in this house, the Lu family, all died, and the death was miserable, almost all the corpses, all of them are in these case files, and it is precisely because this is an unsolved case that it was handed over to our Zhen Kou Si. ”

Li Siqi continued Sun Ningshuang's words and said, "What about the case after that? Have you studied it?"

Sun Ningshuang sighed, and then replied: "This case happened three days ago, originally this house has been empty for a long time, and it has been mortgaged to this Jiuxiangli, but the mayor here wants to make a little money, so he opened the house and rented it to a foreign merchant." At first, there was nothing abnormal, and the family was very normal, but just five days ago, the hostess of the house seemed to have gone crazy and did something, did something abnormal. ”

At this time, Li Siqi interrupted Sun Ningshuang's words and said directly: "What's abnormal, learning to pee on the street is also a human thing." ”

Listening to what Li Siqi said rudely, Sun Ningshuang also took a sip: "It's just abnormal, and then the man took the hostess to see a doctor, and the business was suspended after he came back, but within two days, passers-by smelled a rancid smell, mixed with blood." After reporting to the official, it was found that all four members of the family had died. ”

Li Siqi nodded and said: "These are all clues on the surface, our purpose is to uncover the truth of this so-called murderous mansion, come with me." ”

After that, Li Siqi put on a generous appearance and pushed to the door, but before Sun Ningshuang's adoring gaze could be unfolded, Li Siqi turned around, jumped onto the wall, and then stretched out his hand to Sun Ningshuang.

"Hurry up and come in over the wall, I'm going to solve the case tonight." ”

Looking at Li Siqi's hand, Sun Ningshuang said disdainfully: "I thought you dared to push the door in, it's not over the wall, what are you doing." ”

Li Siqi shook his finger lightly and said: "This door is very important, you can't move it, at least not now, hurry up, if you miss the time, you may not be able to see what you want." ”

"God is mysterious. Sun Ningshuang muttered, and then without borrowing Li Siqi's hand, she jumped lightly onto the wall like a flying swallow.

This family is still a prestigious family in the east of the city, the wall is one zhang high, and it can jump without revealing its anger, Sun Ningshuang's light skills are not bad.

Standing on the top of the wall, looking down at the scene below, the two were shocked to find that the front yard was overgrown with weeds.

This is not reasonable at all, when the corpse parts of this family were moved out, the officials and servants at that time had seen it, and it was not so depressed at all, but why is it this scene now.

Sun Ningshuang felt a chill all over her body, couldn't help hugging her arms, and then asked Li Siqi suspiciously: "By the way, you must come to the scene in the middle of the night, what is your idea?"

Li Siqi smiled very strangely, and at this time, the moonlight disappeared into the dark clouds again: "Hehe, the secret of heaven must not be revealed." ”
