How to work

Excitement flashed in Lu Liming's eyes.

Affected by his family environment, he is very interested in detectives. When he was a few years old, he followed his father and brother in this field. Up to now, these interests have not diminished, but have become more and more intense.Suddenly came to ancient times inexplicably, unfamiliar environment, unfamiliar social rules, unfamiliar humanities and customs, everything made him fearful and frightened, and the only way to comfort him was to investigate the case.

The same rice feeds all kinds of people, no matter when, where, there will always be villains, and there will always be all sorts of strange and evil things. It is very refreshing to find out the villains. It is the great satisfaction of running the brain to the extreme.

Now, Lu Li is standing at the scene of the murder, facing a secret room, how could he not be excited!

The state of the deceased when he died, the hidden reactions of the whole family, and this secret room, he subconsciously thought that this case was very unusual, and there must be a different secret!

He observed carefully again, this time focusing on the doors and windows.

This is the private courtyard of the eldest daughter-in-law, and no one would dare to break into it at will. He asked Dongxue how Ruo Zhenyue would entertain outsiders.Dongxue replied that his wife was married out and had few friends in Jingzhao Mansion, and basically there was no need to entertain others. Occasionally, as the eldest daughter-in-law of the Yu family, she would entertain guests in the Bi Luo Courtyard, which was dedicated to entertaining guests in the Yu family. No outsiders have been here.

Lu Li nodded, concentrating on walking around the room.

The bedroom is on the easternmost side of the entire row of rooms. When entering through the door, the main hall is the first to enter. Since no outsiders will come, the door between the main hall and the bedroom is neither locked nor bolted.There is a screen in front of the door, which cuts off the line of sight from the bed. There are two windows, one facing the bed and the other behind the small screen beside the bed.Generally, the toilet is placed behind the small screen next to the bed in the women's room, and a window is installed to disperse the smell.

The window behind the small screen is not big, and it is a bit high, Dongxue said, "Madam Aijie, sometimes she is willing to take a few steps to go to the official room in the west wing even when she gets up at night. This toilet is rarely used, and it is only placed here for It is necessary from time to time, so there is very little smell in the room, and this window is closed all the year round, so it cannot be opened after all."

Lu Li nodded, and walked to the window facing the bed.

This window is a little bigger, four feet wide and five feet high.The window is divided into two, and there are juxtaposed and protruding handles in the middle. The handles are exquisitely made, with rounded arcs and engraved patterns, just like carp bent over to jump over the dragon's gate.The carp's tail is bent just to catch the window, and its head is raised high. This raised part is supported by a slender Wunan window latch, which just fits the window.The window latch is connected to the tail of the left handle, that is to say, when the window latch is moved up and left, the window latch will hang on the left handle obediently. At this time, hold the handle with both hands, or put it on the two window bars, With a slight push, the window opens.

The windows are window frames with Ruyi vase patterns, and they are pasted not with window paper, but with light blue gauze, which has a hazy beauty.

After carefully watching the scene, Lu Li tried it out. Perhaps to ensure safety, the window latch is not particularly flexible and smooth, and people have to exert force to push it open or fall down.That is to say, if a person stands outside the window, carefully adjusts the position of the window latch, and pushes the window back, the window latch will not fall down obediently.

The light blue gauze pasted on the window has two characteristics. One is that it is very strong and can be torn continuously by hand. For those like Lu Quercus, tools can be used to open it; Lu, it is impossible to open it.So if a person is outside and wants to find a gap to lift the window screen and reach in to adjust the window latch, it is impossible.

But the window is not high, Lu Li is standing in front of the window, the bottom of the window is not up to his waist, it is very convenient for a person to get in and out through this, even a child can do it.

After Lu Li finished looking at the window, he took a few steps back to observe everything near the window, including the bookcase, the incense table, and even the bed directly opposite. He carefully checked and found no doubts.

It is difficult to bolt the windows from the outside, and it is even more difficult to lock the door facing the main hall.Compared with the windows, the door is taller, bigger, and has no leverage. Lu Li can't think of the possibility that someone can lock the door outside.

Afterwards, he checked the rooms in the west wing again, and Dong Xue said, for safety reasons, the windows of these rooms are never opened except in special circumstances.Due to infrequent use, the window latch is very tight. Lu Li checked carefully, and there is no trace of opening it recently.

Finally, he walked around the scene, keeping all the state in mind, Lu Li walked out of the room, and walked around the courtyard again.

……

A murder scene like this is interesting because it proves two things.

If the murderer is Yu Tianyi, then he is stupid.

If the murderer is not Yu Tianyi, this person must hate Tianyi and want to crucify him very much.

In a secret room that no one can enter or leave, there is a murder case, the murderer can only be the people in the room...

Before leaving, Lu Li worked hard on Dong Xue.

Looking at her age, Zhenyue is nearly ten years older than Dongxue. Dongxue must not be a caring maid who accompanied Zhenyue growing up. Pet.And a housemate is not favored by the master, and Yu's family status must be even worse. She is so scared that her voice trembles, her walk trembles, her lips are gray, and her eyes are full of fear and anxiety, which is normal and pitiful.

Dong Xue lowered her head, "Sir, don't be polite, these are what a servant girl should do..."

Lu Li understood her mood and couldn't help reminding, "The braided rope in your sleeve pocket is exposed."

The news of Zhenyue's death was too sudden, and Yu's family hadn't had time to change into suitable clothes. Dong Xue, who arrived at the scene first, couldn't have had time to change, so she just flipped the clothes over and put them on. It's all gone, like the golden lilac on Ruxia's ear, like the yellow-green silk ribbon on Dongxue's bun.

The golden lilacs are too small, and Lu Li noticed that Ru Xia was holding them in her hands before; the hair accessories like silk ribbons are easy to store, and they are not afraid of being rubbed or pressed, but it is inevitable to show their heads when there are frequent big movements.The masters and masters of the Yu family are in a very bad mood right now, and if Dongxue is to be caught and blamed, the loss outweighs the gain.

Dong Xue's eyes became even more panicked, she quickly put away the silk sash, and knelt down to salute Lu Li, "Thank you sir for reminding me, the servant girl really... didn't do it on purpose..." She couldn't help crying as she spoke.

"I know, you don't have to worry." Lu Li called him up, "You are tired today, go back and rest."

"My maid is not tired, my wife passed away..." Dongxue wiped the corners of her red eyes, "My maid has to guard my wife..."

It can be seen whether a person is really sad. Dong Xue's words and deeds, as well as the deep mourning in his words, make Lu Li feel that he has underestimated the loyalty of the ancients, even if he is not taken seriously. Dongxue is also devoted to Zhenyue. The tone of the last sentence does not seem to be reluctant to guard the spirit at all. On the contrary, it feels like she wants to guard Zhenyue from being bullied by Yu's family.

But Dongxue is obviously so thin and weak, and she doesn't seem to have much courage... Maybe it's because everyone has different potential when disaster strikes.

Lu Li stopped Dongxue from seeing her off, and walked out of Zhenyue's yard.

At this time, Yu Zhi had finished communicating with Yu's family about the follow-up matters, and left first.There is no way, people are too old to be affected, and the autopsy is a job done by others, but the investigation site is not. He was surprised when Lu Li asked to take a look at the scene again, but he still gave support and encouragement to Lu Li’s spirit , said goodbye in advance.

Shen Wansha wanted to communicate with Yu's family about something, and Lu Li was afraid that he would suffer, so he invited Zhao Zhu to go with him.Zhao Zhu was born with a dark face, looking down on the world all the time, but he was born with an innate dignity, Lu Li often complained in his heart why he should do so, but it is undeniable that under such circumstances he stood Behind Shen Wansha, it can improve the style and aura very well, let Yu's family know that they are not easy to provoke, please think about the consequences before provoking.

This trick is undoubtedly useful, Shen Wansha talked with Yu's family and everything went smoothly.

Zhao Zhu actually didn't want to be with Shen Wansha, but it was rare for Lu Li to beg him, and he couldn't bear to let him down. Besides, the hidden guards would follow Lu Li to ensure safety, so he agreed.So as soon as Shen Wansha's affairs were over, he immediately went out. Shen Wansha yelled 'Brother Zhao wait for me' for a long time and ignored him, and quickly came over.

When Lu Li saw Zhao Zhu outside the gate, he smiled relaxedly, "Is the matter over?"

Zhao Zhu hummed, and came over to shake Lu Li's hand.

Lu Li dodged, "The Dragon Boat Festival is over, how could it be cold."

Zhao Zhu's eyes darkened for a moment before he could grasp the soft little hand, but he didn't insist, "Let's go."

Lu Li walked out side by side with him, "Where's Shen Wansha?"

"Outside."

Shen Wansha was not much slower than Zhao Zhu, and soon appeared out of breath, "Brother Zhao, you are too fast, you didn't even hear me calling you..."

Zhao Zhu didn't even look at him.

Lu Li smiled and squinted at Zhao Zhu, and comforted Shen Wansha, "He always does whatever he wants, so please ignore him."

Shen Wansha regained his strength, "I don't blame Big Brother Zhao, if it wasn't for him, the Yu family wouldn't listen to me like that!"

"what did you say?"

Shen Wansha frowned, looked at Lu Li quietly, "I want to live in Yu's house."

Lu Li could understand what he meant after thinking about it, "You want to watch the Yu family?"

"I always feel that these people are wrong. This Yu Mansion may not buy murderers to kill people. According to the Lord Inspectorate, who is not with us, who knows the character of the policemen in Jingzhao Mansion. What if they are bribed, I don't know." Yu Zhenyue died in vain, and wanted to watch them in person, look for clues if they had clues, and if not, they would be able to suppress these people from thinking carefully."

Shen Wansha's face was serious, and his voice was sad, "This is also... the last thing I can do for Zhenyue."

"Okay!" Lu Li agreed very simply, "You live here, so keep your eyes open, quietly pay attention to the movements of those masters, and ask more about the past. The past is easy to separate grievances, many If you find the motive in time, you will find the murderer, and if this case is solved, you will do a great job!"

When a friend dies, no one will feel calm, but Lu Li doesn't want Shen Wansha to be unhappy and depressed, so he simply finds a way to keep him busy, and when he is busy, he will feel much less grief...

Shen Wansha was really encouraged, his eyes brightened, "I wanted to help you a long time ago, but I couldn't help you, this time I have a chance!"

"It's just that you have to pay attention to safety issues," Lu Li turned to Zhao Zhu, "Brother Zhao, your subordinate Hong You...can you ask him to help you with Shen Wansha for a few days?"

Shen Wansha waved his hands again and again, "No need, no need, the Yu family dare not mess with such a noble young master like me!"

"Not afraid of ten thousand, just in case." Lu Li looked at Zhao Zhu, waiting for his answer.

Zhao Zhu didn't think anything would happen to Shen Wansha.Ever since he communicated with Lord Cheshire, there would always be some disguised warriors not far from Shen Wansha, but they dared not approach him because of his identity.Of course, he didn't like others breaking into his domain, so he casually gave his hand to protect Shen Wansha, probably these people were more happy to see this result, and stayed away from him even further.But if Shen Wansha was left alone, these people would definitely gather around.

But he didn't like Lu Li being disappointed even more. For some reason, he couldn't see Lu Li's unhappy face more and more.

So he nodded, "Okay."

After Lu Li, Zhao Zhu and Shen Wansha bid farewell, they left the Yu mansion. Before leaving, they saw that the white gauze had been hung in front of the door, and the white gauze was reflected by the white lanterns, making them very sad in the night.

Lu Li let out a long sigh.

"Unhappy?" Zhao Zhu shook Lu Li's hand again.

Xu Shi was immersed in his own thoughts and couldn't extricate himself, Xu Shi was used to holding hands like this, Xu Shi subconsciously thought that it didn't matter if Shen Ye was alone, and Lu Li didn't avoid Zhao Zhu's hand.

"A case like this...is never going to make people happy."

But it's not good to bring your negative emotions to your friends, Lu Li quickly changed the subject, "Who do you think is the murderer in this case?"

Zhao Zhu pondered for a moment, "It's hard to judge right now."

Lu Li admired Zhao Zhu's thinking logic very much. In every case before, especially when it was coming to an end, they always had a good understanding and guessed in the same direction.Zhao Zhu never draws conclusions lightly, and he himself too, everything speaks with evidence.

So he changed the question, "What do you think of Yu's family?"

The corner of Zhao Zhu's mouth twitched sarcastically, "A group of idiots with their own thoughts."

Lu Li agrees with this sentence very much, but the idiot is not ambiguous when killing people. They have no way to catch people immediately. This person must be very proud of hiding behind... Thinking about it, the mood is even worse.

Every time Lu Li encounters a murder case, he will concentrate on it and completely forget to rest. Even if his body is resting, his mind will not stop for a moment, as if he is very eager to solve the puzzle, no wonder he can't gain weight...

For the first time, Zhao Zhu felt that his fiancée was very sad.

Seeing him like this, even if he goes back, he won't rest obediently...

Zhao Zhu raised his head and looked into the distance, bent down suddenly, put his left hand around Lu Li's waist, his right hand around Lu Li's thigh, and picked him up like a child.

"Ah——" Lu Li might as well subconsciously exclaimed, "What are you doing——"

Before he could finish his sentence, his body followed Zhao Zhu into the air, and the sense of crisis brought about by the weightlessness made him hug Zhao Zhu's neck tightly...

In May, summer is about to enter, the night is deep, but there is no coolness at all, the wind blows on the face is warm, just like this embrace.

From time to time, Zhao Zhu borrowed strength from the top of the eaves and walls, and Lu Li's eyes fluctuated with the ups and downs. After the sudden surprise, his mind gradually calmed down, his vision widened, and he enjoyed the boundless night.

Tonight is clear, moonless, and starry.

Living in the concrete forest for a long time, Lu Li rarely sees such starlight, and every time he sees it, he can't help but feel his heart tremble.

The construction of ancient houses is generally not high, as long as you stand a little higher, or a little farther away from the city center, you will have a very wide view.The dark blue sky is as smooth as satin, covered with bright stars, and the stars blink mischievously, like pearls falling on a black jade plate, which can fall if you don't pay attention.Lu Li could see the Milky Way clearly, running through the entire starry sky like a streamer, and he could even find out several constellations.

"What a nice view……"

Zhao Zhu finally landed in a tall attic.I don't know who's attic is, the area is very large, very flat, and the surroundings are dark... I guess the owner's house is not there.

Lu Li didn't feel embarrassed to just take a look at the night sky for a while.

When you are too busy, you need to rest. When your thoughts are too complicated, you should also find your favorite way to relax. This kind of adjustment can help you clear your mind.

Lu Li used to drag his father or elder brother to carry out such activities, but he forgot about it when it happened to him. He also didn't expect that Zhao Zhu would have the same idea and enforce it.

And he knows what he likes...

Lu Li took a long breath, tilted his head slightly and sincerely thanked Zhao Zhu, "Thank you."

The boy's side face melted into the starlight, and the stars seemed to fall from the bottom of his eyes, shining brightly.He held his chin, showing his small canine teeth, and smiled brightly and warmly.With this thank you, softly and softly, Zhao Zhu's heart seemed to be swept by a feather, and it seemed to be scratched by a tender milk cat, it was unbelievably itchy.

"En." Zhao Zhu nodded sullenly, feeling very conflicted in his heart.He wanted to get closer to Lu Li, Lu Li had a particularly pleasant smell, and as soon as he got close, he wanted to get closer, preferably without distance, but it was very hot, and the fire bursting out of his body could not be extinguished Immortality is very hard to endure.

The sky was full of stars, and Lu Li simply lay down with his arms under his pillow, "How do you know that I love watching stars?"

"On a clear night, you always like to come out and walk around, even in the room, you have to lean against the window." Ever since leaving Shu, leaving the place that is always misty and misty, at night, Lu Li is like a cat that gets excited at night , I would look at the stars through the window, and if I couldn’t see enough, I would go outside the room and continue to watch. Sometimes I would stare in a daze for a while when I woke up at night, and I would be unhappy when it rained...

Zhao Zhu knew a lot, most of which he didn't say.

"You are so kind!" Lu Li was very moved when his good friend cared so much for him.

"En." Zhao Zhu also leaned down, lying side by side with Lu Li.

The two held arms next to each other, enjoying the moment very much.

"After you and Shen Wansha leave, I'll go to the scene of the crime to find clues. Guess what I saw? A secret room!" Lu Li's thoughts are still inseparable from the case. When I think about it, it feels completely different.

Although Zhao Zhu was somewhat dissatisfied with Lu Li's proposal, he knew Lu Li's character well, and it was impossible for Lu Li to let go of the case completely, so...as long as he was happy.

"Secret room?" Zhao Zhu raised a very cooperative ending voice.

"Well, the secret room!" Lu Li told Zhao Zhu what he saw in the bedroom to the starry sky, and when he got excited, he turned his head to Zhao Zhu, "Isn't it interesting?"

Zhao Zhu looked at Lu Li's moist lips opening and closing, feeling a little thirsty for some reason, his throat was throbbing, and his voice was slightly hoarse, "Interesting."

"The murderer must be in the mansion! No matter who this person is or what his identity is, he must be in the mansion!" Lu Li concluded with certainty.Yu's mansion is not a vegetable garden where everyone can enter, let alone the house of the head of the house. Those who can enter and exit must have the right to enter and exit. The number of people is very limited. Thinking of this, there is still hope for solving the case. Lu Li smiled and rolled his eyes. .

Zhao Zhu agreed with Lu Li's conclusion, but he didn't understand one thing, "Why didn't the autopsy be performed?"

"An autopsy is necessary to solve a case. If there is a murder case, as long as the autopsy is performed, some hidden details will always be found, but the world...how should I put it, I can't say it is stupid. Anyway, no one likes their dead relatives and friends to be cut open. This is normal. I understand and respect that."

Even in modern times, there are often many family members who do not agree to the autopsy. Lu Li's voice was a little heavy, "Zhen Yue is Shen Wansha's friend, and Shen Wansha cherishes it very much. If I want an autopsy, Shen Wansha will definitely agree, but he There will be more pain in my heart, and besides, it is not easy for my family members... So I think it would be best if an autopsy can be performed in a murder case, but there is no need for an autopsy in the current situation, and we can try our best to find other clues first. If it doesn’t work, let’s do an autopsy.”

He is not obsessed with dissection, he just wants to solve the case.

Zhao Zhu's slender eyes gradually stretched.He didn't expect that a young man with magical skills in his hands would be willing not to compete or show off his skills... If it were someone else, even if he had experienced a lot, he would still enjoy being in the limelight at Lu Li's age.

Lu Li's heart has always been upright, he has always known what he wants, and he has made great strides forward on this road without hesitation.

Such a person...how could he not care!

Zhao Zhu couldn't help turning his body sideways, getting closer to Lu Li.

Lu Li is much shorter than him. With this posture, he can hold Lu Li in his arms as long as he stretches out his arms.He looked at Lu Li's upturned lips, a certain desire was about to move, but he already understood Lu Li's intentions, so he didn't want to scare him, he just lowered his head, and gently pressed a kiss on the top of Lu Li's hair.

Only this time, he understood very well, not subconsciously, not ignorantly, he really wanted to kiss Lu Li...

The starlight shone silently, and the faint starlight shrouded the two figures cuddling together. The night became quieter.
