Volume 5 The Deep Mansion Compound Chapter 4 The Female Thief is exquisite
Everything he saw and heard in the past day flashed in Su Zhuo's mind one by one. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info Ling family has a big business, Master Ling is alive, everything is infinitely beautiful. Now that he's dead, the family is ready to move. Several brothers and sisters with completely different personalities, as well as the lady, what were they all thinking in their hearts? Ling Shuang's words were full of loopholes, but why did he kill his own father? And after the murder, not only did he not escape, but he had to stay in the room to be discovered? These are all too strange. And this mansion, why did Ling Shuang appear in Master Ling's room? Is he lying, or is everyone else conspiring?
It is difficult to answer all the questions, and the care is chaotic, after all, Su Zhuo has some friendship with Ling Shuang, and his heart is naturally biased towards him. Of course, there is also that pair of eyes that seem to be nothing, a pair of eyes that have been looming since Su Zhuo entered Jinling City.
Su Zhuo didn't say a word, and soaked himself in water for an afternoon until the whole bucket of water was cold. His hands and feet were soaked and white, and he crawled out and changed into clean clothes, and suddenly felt refreshed.
Su Zhuo walked out of the room, and someone immediately came in to clean up. He couldn't help but sigh in his heart, it's good to be rich. Of course, he knows better than anyone else that it is not good to have money. Because the scenery is money, and the desolation is yourself. Just like Master Ling's mourning hall at this moment, it is empty. Ling Feng went out to run errands and hasn't come back yet. And the lady with her two children wondered if she would come back. Only Master Ling's coffin remained, lying alone in the house.
Su Zhuo stood in the mourning hall for a long time, and no one came back. He circled around the coffin twice, wondering in his heart, what the hell was going on? Thinking about it, he unconsciously turned to Ling Zhishan's room again.
Su Zhuo looked left and right at no one, pushed the door into the house, turned around and closed the door. He gently hung the clasp on the inside of the door, and the door locked. Su Zhuo said secretly: "Is this how the door was closed that day?"
Suddenly, he felt something strange about the tentacles of the buckle, and when he looked closer, it turned out to be a little burned, and he didn't know what was going on. Su Zhuo didn't care, sat on the chair, and said in his heart: "Although the front and rear windows are open, they are covered with veils, and they will break if you pull them lightly." When the door is locked from the inside, the room is a secret room. So how did Old Man Ling's body get into the house, how did the murderer lock the door, and why did Ling Shuang enter this room?
Su Zhuo sat alone in the room and meditated, and it was elusive to grasp the key. Until nightfall, none of the Ling family came back. Su Zhuo couldn't help but feel a little strange, and was about to go out to have a look, when he suddenly heard two knocks on the door, but no one spoke.
Su Zhuo was secretly vigilant, and asked softly, "What person!"
A woman's voice came from outside the door: "It's me!"
Su Zhuo heard the voice of the outsider, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he said softly, "You're finally here!"
Halfway through the door, a figure entered, petite in the moonlight, dressed in black, as if to blend in with the night. Like a gust of wind, she dodged into the house. The hair on Su Zhuo's temples that was blown up by her gust of wind had not yet fallen, and she was already sitting on the stool where Su Zhuo had sat just now.
Su Zhuo smiled helplessly and closed the door again. The woman spoke: "Su Zhuo, I haven't seen you looking for me for a few years. Now that you're in trouble, you think of me?"
Su Zhuo replied: "Why didn't I miss you? Last year, I encountered a murder case in Xiangxi, and I first thought of you, only you have such light skills to kill!"
The woman took a sip and said, "Why don't you think about me?"
Su Zhuo laughed and said, "When you came, did you find anyone?"
The woman sneered and said, "What's the matter with you? There will be someone watching you every step of the way, and he's a master! But I just went over to say hello, and he's sleeping well on the roof!"
Su Zhuo was a little worried, and said, "There won't be any problems, right?"
The woman said lightly: "You haven't slept for three days, and he naturally hasn't rested well." When he woke up, he couldn't remember what had happened. ”
Su Zhuo was taken aback, and suddenly said: "I was really careless, the person who monitored me was the one who sent the letter!"
The woman laughed happily and said, "It turns out that there are people who can deceive you Su Zhuo's thief eyes, it's really interesting!"
Su Zhuo shook his head helplessly, and said with a smile: "I, Su Zhuo, am a dog's eye and a pig's eye, but not a thief's eye." This thief's eye should say that you are, the first female snitch in the rivers and lakes, Yan Linglong!"
Yan Linglong stood up, knocked a chestnut on Su Zhuo's head, and returned to the same place in a blink of an eye. Su Zhuo couldn't dodge at all, and he didn't think he could dodge, which shows how fast the woman is. But there was no annoyance on the faces of the two, as if they had been friends for many years and laughed.
Yan Linglong scolded with a smile: "You kid! I taught you light skills, and I can be regarded as your elder anyway, right? Why don't you understand any etiquette?"
Su Zhuo got up, clasped his fists and saluted respectfully, but with a smile on his face, he said, "Sister Linglong's lesson is that the younger brother knows his mistakes. ”
Yan Linglong waved her hand and asked, "What happened to Ling Shuang?"
When Su Zhuo heard her mention it, his heart became heavy, and he said, "This matter is a long story, what happened to me asking you?"
Yan Linglong didn't answer and asked, "Who is that nerd who left me a mark in Gusu, where did you find it?"
Su Zhuo was stunned for a moment, and said with a smile: "You mean Huaping, he is my friend, and I asked him to go to Ling's house." Although I have known Ling Shuang for many years, I have never asked him about the affairs of his family, so I need to find out first. ”
Yan Linglong said: "Everything he can find has been checked, and he will explain it to me clearly in 1510." I'll come first to tell you, and he'll be there. At present, the Ling family is in Jinling, and there is only one old housekeeper and subordinates left in the old mansion. The mourning hall has been arranged, just waiting for this side of the matter, and help the spirit to go back. ”
Su Zhuo said: "There is not much time, pick up the important ones." ”
Yan Linglong said: "After all, Huaping is an outsider, and the old housekeeper is also a subordinate, so there are not many questions that can be asked." Ling Zhishan has three sons and a daughter, named Fengshuang, Yuxue, respectively. Among them, the eldest son Ling Feng and the second son Ling Shuang were born to the original Mrs. Xia. Mrs. Xia died in childbirth when she gave birth to Ling Shuang, and Ling Zhishan later married the current Mrs. Shen. She is the sister of Shen Donglai, a wealthy businessman in Jinling, and gave birth to a son and a daughter for Ling Zhishan. ”
Su Zhuo thought for a moment and said, "I have already seen these people. ”
Yan Linglong said again: "Ling Zhishan came to Jinling on this trip, saying that he was dealing with business matters, so he didn't plan to bring many people here. But somehow, Mrs. Shen first came with her children under the pretext of saving her relatives. Ling Feng also said that he would take care of it along the way and follow along. ”
Su Zhuo was puzzled: "I'm afraid it's not that simple, right?" Ling Zhishan couldn't come to Jinling once, but Ling Feng and Mrs. Shen seemed to be very nervous?"
Yan Linglong said with a smile: "You guessed right! According to the old housekeeper who quietly told Hua Ping, Ling Zhishan actually came to see Ling Shuang on this trip. He heard that Ling Zhishan had been in poor health recently, and he was planning to find a successor to inherit the family business! He heard that Ling Shuang had done a good job in Jinling, so he wanted to come and see it. ”
Su Zhuo pondered: "In this way, I am a little strange, why would Ling Shuang stay in Jinling alone and not go home for a long time?"
Yan Linglong glanced at him and said angrily: "It's really no good to be your friend of Su Zhuo! I heard that Mrs. Xia gave birth to Ling Shuang and passed away. Both Ling Zhishan and Ling Feng were very disgusted with him and did not like to see Ling Shuang. Later, Mrs. Shen gave birth to Ling Yu and Ling Xue, and Ling Zhishan was very fond of these two people, and she developed the temperament of the two of them. Ling Shuang was angry at home, so when he was more than ten years old, he followed his master, the monk Kuzen, and later came to Jinling. ”
Su Zhuo nodded and said to himself, "So that's the case...... When Ling Zhishan got old, he suddenly remembered Ling Shuang, could it be that Ling Feng didn't like him?"
