Chapter 441: Exploring the Zheng Mansion at Night.

It didn't take long for the innkeeper to call the shopkeeper up to the second floor, Ye Xing saw that the shopkeeper was very clever, and his eyes kept rolling, but the more he was like this, the more suspicious it became.

"What do you have to ask?" After the shopkeeper went upstairs, he asked very respectfully.

Ye Xing smiled faintly: "I heard that you once brought tea to Zheng Yuanwai, when you came up, was there anyone in Zheng Yuanwai's room?" ”

The shopkeeper shook his head: "When I went in to deliver tea, there was only Zheng Yuan in the room, and I didn't see anyone else." ”

"Are you sure you haven't seen anyone else?" Ye Xing asked with some disbelieving.

The shopkeeper nodded: "I'm really sure, what kind of business I do, I can't find out if there are people in it." ”

"Do you notice any suspicious people walking around on the second floor?"

Ye Xing saw that the shopkeeper was so sure, so he continued to ask.

But in the end, the answer they got was still shaking their heads, the change on the second floor was too strange, it seemed that it was a ghost who had a fight with Zheng Yuanwai, but Ye Xing and they could know with certainty that it was a person, not a ghost.

Ye Xing came to the window and looked out, there was a small alley outside, there were only a few houses near the alley, but they were all the back doors of those people.

Seeing Ye Xing like this, Di Xiaojie asked tentatively, "Brother Ye, do you think the murderer came in from here?" ”

Ye Xing shook his head: "I can know for sure that the murderer came in through the stairs, but they said that he escaped from the window, we want to know some information, I'm afraid we can only go down from here to ask." ”

Without further ado, Ye Xing and a few of them flew from the window to the alley, there are only two or three families in the entire alley, looking at the appearance of these families, it doesn't look like they are very rich, Ye Xing and they knocked on the doors of the first two, but they didn't see anything, helplessly, they could only go to the last one, they only hoped that this time it would not be in vain.

The last family seemed to have only one woman and a child of eight or nine years old, who was squatting in the courtyard of his house and playing in the mud, and when he saw someone breaking into his house, he hurriedly called out to his mother, who came out with a look of vigilance.

"Who are you?"

Ye Xing smiled faintly: "Madame, don't worry, we are from the imperial court, we just came here to ask a few questions, and there is no malice!" ”

After listening to Ye Xing's words, although the woman was a little impatient, she didn't mean to object again.

"If there's anything you want to ask, just ask!"

"Not long ago, did you notice someone jumping out of the inn across the opposite side of your back door?"

The woman shook her head: "I have been working in the house all the time, and I have only heard a few screams, and I have not seen anything else." ”

After Ye Xing and the others listened to the woman's words, they were very disappointed, and their last hope was shattered by the woman's words, but just as they were about to leave, the child who was playing with mud said to his mother: "Mother, I saw it!" ”

After the kid said this, Ye Xing and the others suddenly had hope again, and they hurriedly came to the kid and asked, "Little friend, what have you seen?" ”

The child was a little innocent, and said with a smile: "I saw two people fly out of the inn opposite, and then they disappeared!" ”

"Have you ever seen the faces of those two men?"

The child shook his head, indicating that he didn't see the man's face clearly, Ye Xing saw this, although he felt a little disappointed, but his idea had been confirmed, he took out a few taels of silver and handed it to the woman to express his gratitude, and then left the alley.

After the few of them left the alley, Di Xiaojie asked with some puzzlement: "Brother Ye, how do you know that Zheng Yuanwai and another person escaped from the window?" ”

Ye Xing smiled slightly: "It's actually very simple, Zheng Yuanwai didn't come down after he went upstairs, and after we went upstairs, he wasn't upstairs, but he could only escape from the window, and it can be seen from Zheng Yuanwai's table that there were two people drinking at that time, from this we can know that after that person came in, he didn't fight with Zheng Yuanwai immediately, but the person didn't come in through the window, but knocked on the door from the stairs." ”

Everyone nodded in understanding, but Hua Zhimeng said a little impatiently: "Even if we know this, we still have business to do, why don't we leave this place quickly!" ”

Di Xiaojie They feel that what Hua Zhimeng said is reasonable, Ji Gang may send someone to assassinate them at any time, and the more they stay outside, the more dangerous they will be, although the things here are strange, but no matter how strange they are, where can they be strange, at most it is just murder.

However, Ye Xing did not take their advice, Ye Xing felt that how could they leave a murder case alone for their own comfort, maybe they could avoid a murder by staying here for a few more days.

Avoiding a murder saves a person's life, how can they not do such a thing?

To be reasonable, few people could talk about Ye Xing, so in the end they decided to stay and investigate the matter.

It's just that to investigate the matter, there must be clues, and the screams in the inn and the things in the room are not clues at all, or clues that can be used for guidance.

However, Ye Xing has a way to find clues, and his method is also the most direct way, that is, to break into the Zheng Mansion at night, since the Zheng Mansion is haunted, they can go to the Zheng Mansion to investigate.

This method was thought up by Xu Ruoxuan, and Ye Xing and the others thought it was very good, but in this way, they had to wait until the evening.

It's only the first quarter moon, and there are still a few days before the full moon, so it's impossible to think of a haunting, so it's always right to investigate.

They played in Roadview Town for most of the day, and then went to the vicinity of Zheng's Mansion to investigate, after they finished exploring, they found that things were not as simple as they thought, they thought that the mansion in such a small town, even if it was very large, it was always easy to break in, but they didn't expect that the guard of Zheng's Mansion was so strict, not only four or five guards were sent at the gate, but even the back side room and other places, there were also guards, that is, if you want to break in from the outside, you will definitely be discovered by the people inside, And Ye Xing and they are just probing, if they are discovered by Zheng Yuanwai, then it will be impossible to investigate this matter secretly.

But even so, they still want to break into the Zheng Mansion at night, after they have explored the vicinity of the Zheng Mansion, they will go back to the inn for dinner, and rest again, and in the dead of night, they quietly leave the room and rush to the Zheng Mansion.
