"Huh..." After hearing the old butler's description, Yun Shili smiled at that time. With this relaxed smile, he directly said to Sun Guanjia, "Old man, it's dark in that room. You can't tell me what's going on outside." Holding a lantern on your head, with just a little light shining through the hole, can you really see what's going on inside?" He paused, "Besides... I'm not going to put it nicely, you know. At this age, it’s hard to avoid being a bit dim, right? You can’t be wrong.”
Yun Shili is an outstanding figure among the Jinyi Guards after all, and he is undoubtedly an expert in criminal investigation. What he proposed now? These two doubts are indeed very reasonable.
If this was in a modern, maritime law court, and Steward Sun was a witness testifying on the witness stand, then these two doubts would be enough to make his testimony credible. The speed is greatly reduced.
But... this is not a court, but the scene of the incident.
Butler Sun didn’t want to prove anything. He just told the truth about what he saw. As for whether the listeners believe it or not, it doesn’t really matter - you don’t believe it? Go and see for yourself.
"Hey! My Lord, everything I said is true. I don't dare to tell the truth." Sure enough, Butler Sun's response after hearing this was, "Don't you believe it?" , take a look for yourself, just now... There is still singing in the room."
"Okay, just watch." Yun Shili doesn't believe in ghosts and gods, so he is naturally not afraid, "Come on. Give me a lantern too..."
As he said that, he took a lantern from the servant who led them, and then walked towards the house.
When the servants and maids standing in the open space in front of the house saw him coming, they all dispersed to both sides to make way for him.
As for Sun Yixie, seeing Yun Shili stepping forward so boldly, he followed silently.
After a few steps, Yun Shili arrived at the door of the house; not to mention, after taking a few steps closer, he could actually hear singing in the house.
This sound is a bit strange, there is no echo at all, and it is not loud, but it doesn’t sound like it was sung with a lower voice on purpose... If I have to describe it, it’s like singing a song. People are in a very open and remote place, not in a closed room.
"Huh?" This strange situation made Yun Shili a little confused.
He originally thought that this was a thief who was playing tricks and bribed the servants and even the housekeeper to cause trouble, but when he heard the singing, he felt something was wrong...
Not to mention Talking about how the other party managed to achieve this "distant singing" effect in a small room, there was also a problem with just listening to the song itself - the singing was a bit too good.
Master Zan Yun is also someone who has seen and heard of the serious Kunqu opera troupe, and he listened to the "family troupe" sung by someone else's family at the home of a high-ranking official in the imperial court; "Well... From the capital to Jinling, he has been to many famous brothels, including the famous actress who sang very well. He was also lucky enough to meet a few of them.Bit...
There is no doubt that Yun Shili has a certain ability to appreciate whether the song is good or not.
So, Yun Shili understood as soon as he heard it. The section of "The Story of Red Plum" that he was listening to at the moment, even if he searched all over the world, not many people could sing it to this level; if this singing voice was Some people do this just to show off, so just find someone with two voices who can sing casually. It's impossible to find such a good actor to do this for you.
Thinking of this, Yun Shili couldn't help but become a little nervous, but this alone was not enough for him to believe in the existence of fairies and ghosts... After a moment of hesitation, he still firmly He raised the lantern, stepped forward, and took a look into the hole in the window paper...
"How is it?" Sun Yixie asked immediately behind him.
After Yun Shili finished reading, he turned around and replied: "You can't see anything here."
"Oh?" Sun Yixie heard this, and he was also doubtful. passed.
Yun Shili raised the lantern again, holding it next to the small hole and lighting it for Sun Yixie.
As a result, Sun Yixie took a look and found that he really couldn't see...
The light of the lantern passed through the hole and through the window paper, and then extended out. Diandian, as if being swallowed up by a tangible dark substance, no longer moves forward.
So no matter how they peeked in, they could only see darkness.
"Look, let me just say that your housekeeper's words are not credible. There is such a hole and such a little light, so it should be invisible. How did he see the goblin? "Yun Shili felt at this moment that his previous doubts had been fulfilled.
"How do you explain the singing?" Sun Yixie asked.
"I don't know about that." Yun Shili replied, "But...you will find out when you open the door."
Sun Yi listened and clicked. He nodded, then reached into his arms to take out the keys - he had the keys to every door in the Sun family's house, and naturally he also had the keys to the storage room.
"Here, Brother Yun, I leave it to you." After Sun Yixie found the key to the house, he handed it to Yun Shili without hesitation.
Yun Shili took the key almost instinctively, but unexpectedly, as soon as he took it, Sun Yixie on the opposite side let go and stepped back quickly. Eight meters away, even further than some of the onlookers' servants...
"Eh? Yixie, what are you doing?" Yun Shili turned back to look at him, "You won't come with me "Go in?"
"No," Sun Yixie objected simply.
"Why?" Yun Shili asked again.
"I have a problem." Sun Yixie replied.
When Yun Shili heard this sentence, he felt angry and funny: "Are you in trouble? Ha... are you just afraid?"
"Why are you wasting so many words?" Sun Yixie, on the other hand, was a little annoyed, "You said it yourself before...what?"‘It’s either a wild cat or a dog, or it’s a thieves stealing things’, and ‘I can help you settle the matter in a moment’… these are your exact words. "
Yun Shili also liked to argue: "Hey, what if... there really is a goblin? "
"Ha! Sun Yixie laughed dryly, "That's even better. Didn't you say that you have never seen a goblin in your life? Do you want to open your eyes?"
Yun Shili also smiled: "Then you don't want to open your eyes?" "
"No need. Sun Yixie said, "I just saw it a few months ago. There was nothing interesting to see." "
"You just met a few months ago? "The next second, Yun Shili couldn't help but repeat Sun Yixie's words in an incredible tone, because in his understanding, even as an excuse, this answer was a bit illogical.
"Yeah, otherwise how could I have any difficulties? Sun Yixie continued in a confident tone, "Anyway, you go in first. If you don't come out soon, I will seal this courtyard, and then go to Lingyin Temple to ask the eminent monks to come here to save you. If you have If anything unexpected happens, I will definitely report it to the Ming court, saying that you eliminated harm for the people and sacrificed your life for the country, and ask them to bury you in glory. "
Yun Shili began to panic.
Because he was vaguely aware that although Sun Yixie's words at the moment were outrageous, his tone and demeanor did not sound like he was joking.< /p>
But now that the matter is over, if you ask him to come back and say, "How about we just go to Lingyin Temple to ask the old monk," he can't say it.
Besides, Just these few words were not enough to completely change Yun Shili's world view; he still didn't believe in any monsters, so what he was thinking about at the moment was... Even if there are monsters in the world, this door in front of him It may not be the case inside.
So, he took a breath of courage, got ready, picked up the key and opened the lock on the door.
< p>As soon as the lock was opened, before he could open the door, he heard a gust of wind blowing through the courtyard.When the wind blew, the door opened by itself.
Not only that, Yun Shili at the door also seemed to be "pushed" by the wind, staggering forward two steps and entering the house
Everyone, this is it. If it is a frail woman or a skinny old man, it is still possible to be blown off balance by the strong wind, but Yun Shili is a master who has practiced martial arts for many years. Even if he is not good at lower hand skills, he will not be in the wind. I can't stand still.
At this time, Yun Shili himself felt strange, thinking: Why didn't I move forward involuntarily?
What’s even weirder is that as soon as he entered the room, the light of the lantern in his hand... went out.
