Bai Yue explained: "This at least shows that your young master used to focus on his career and had no confidante. Otherwise, you would have been beaten to death long ago."
Liang Meng thought about it carefully and was convinced. He went out and said seriously to Jian Yu: "Sir, I will definitely knock on the door in the future."
Jian Yu had no idea what he was talking nonsense about, and said, "Didn't find anyone?"
Liang Meng shook his head: "I led the people and followed the footprints all the way, but the forest was small, and the official road was not far away. The snow on the official road had been swept away, and there were no footprints. The roads there extended in all directions, so it was impossible to check.
.”
Jian Yu was not surprised: "Although no one was found, the murderer must be someone nearby. He is very familiar with the surrounding environment, so he can come and go without a trace. If he is far away, it is very dangerous to walk with someone on the road.
It’s easy to spot.”
"Yes." Liang Meng said: "I will lead people to conduct a thorough investigation of Shili Village."
"Check." Jian Yu said succinctly: "I don't believe that this person can fly into the sky and escape, and can hide without leaking."
Shili Village is not a big place, with seven to eight hundred people in total. Excluding the old, weak, sick and disabled, and those with absolute alibi, the scope can be reduced a lot.
Bai Yue didn't dare to expect that Jian Yu would be kind enough to take her on a vacation, and she didn't even dare to expect after this trouble. She thought that she could just find a farmhouse to stay, but she didn't expect that after a short rest, she would set off again.
Half an hour later, we arrived at a manor.
The carriage stopped, Jian Yu got out of the carriage first, turned around and stretched out his hand to Bai Yue: "Come down."
The gate of the manor was opened, and maids and boys had already come out. Those who moved things and picked up people took in the unconscious girl and the doctor.
"This is Yanming Villa." Jian Yu said, "We will stay here for the past few days, and we will take you to the market tomorrow."
"Going to the market?" Bai Yue jumped out of the car: "What kind of market are you going to go to?"
"The gathering from ten miles and eight towns is really lively." Jian Yu led Bai Yue through the foyer and the corridor, and a lake appeared in front of him.
"This is Yanming Lake. There are lotus flowers in summer. Although the lotus flowers are withered now, when the weather clears up, the snow on the sycamore trees will turn into water and fall on the water, making a tinkling tinkling sound. It's very interesting." Jian Yu pointed out:
"The residence is right by the lake. It has a good view of the lake. You can choose a house you like."
As expected, it was a place where rich people vacationed. Bai Yue stood by the lake with his cloak folded up and took a breath of the cold air. His irritable mood just now improved a lot.
Let's leave it to Jian Yu to solve the case. She has just experienced the ups and downs of her life and should relax.
After sending Bai Yue into the house, Jian Yu left. Bai Yue didn't care. After dinner, the room was warm, so he wore light home clothes and sat cross-legged at the low table. After eating, he gave some fruit snacks.
The little girl tells stories.
The candlelight was dim, and just as I was talking about the wonderful place, there was a sudden thump outside.
Bai Yue paused and listened intently: "What is this sound? Could it be that someone fell into the water?"
Several girls looked at each other, no one knew, and hurriedly went out to take a look.
It was already dark, and the bright red lanterns could be seen through the door. The door opened with a clatter, and Jian Yu was standing at the door with his hand raised, as if he was about to knock on the door.
After being stunned for a moment, Peggy quickly lowered her hands and took two steps back, bowed and said, "Master."
