"The next step?" " Where are we going?" Qi Lu asked after swallowing a mouthful of the bun.”
" Of course it's the bank, idiot." Ye Meng rolled her eyes at him and walked toward the bank.
" Then we…" He Tang was about to say something when Qi Lu suddenly stuffed something into his arms. He looked down and saw that it was the bag of buns from earlier.
Qi Lu mimicked Ye Meng and said," Eat your buns." He then chased after Ye Meng without looking back.
He Tang could only smile helplessly. He tidied up his clothes and followed behind.
The girls who had been love-struck all this while could not help but sigh and want to be the buns in his arms.
After a while, they arrived at the bank where the case happened. Because of this case, the bank that was originally bustling with people was now deserted.
Even the street outside the door, which was originally filled with stalls, had become a forbidden area.
In ancient times, people believed in ghosts and gods. Even Qi Lu, the constable, could say that he had 'resentment', let alone the other commoners.
They were naturally very afraid of talking about ghosts and gods. They basically did not come into contact with them if they could.
Therefore, ever since the murder happened here, no one dared to approach this place except for the officers and soldiers who came to collect evidence. They all believed that the people in this bank had been killed. People who should not have such a fate had now lost their lives here.
There were also fortune-tellers who said that this was a place of extreme yin and that it was already filled with wandering ghosts. The people who had died here had nowhere to go, so their vengeful souls were still here. Especially at night, people who passed by would be pestered by them. Therefore, no matter whether it was day or night, people were unwilling to pass by.
It can be said that I'm afraid I can't avoid it.
However, this was indeed a good thing for Ye Meng and the others. This meant that the crime scene inside had not been destroyed, and some clues near the bank might still be intact.
Therefore, they might really find something important in this trip. However, Ye Meng couldn't guarantee what the result would be. After all, there were so many officers and soldiers who came to collect evidence, but they still had no clue.
However, it was better to know the situation herself than to get the information from the bailiffs. Not to mention how unreliable they were in Ye Meng's heart, Magistrate Zhang did not give her the right to investigate the case at the beginning. Even Qi Lu did not have the right to do so.
Therefore, the authorities would definitely not tell her all the information they had found. Therefore, no matter how she considered it, she had to come personally this time.
" Do you think it's really like what they said..." Qi Lu looked at the entrance of the bank. He did not know if it was because there were not many people nearby, but he felt that the temperature at the entrance was much lower than on the street. At this moment, he also felt a slight chill and could not help but ask.
"What?" Ye Meng knew that he was about to start talking nonsense again, so she interrupted him impatiently." Qi Lu, you're a constable. How many times have I told you not to say such things?"”
"Oh." Qi Lu nodded and stood up straight.
Seeing that he had calmed down, she could finally focus her attention on the door again. It was originally a large red wooden door. If she looked carefully, she could imagine how magnificent it was before. There were also gray bricks beside it. Although they looked ordinary, in fact, every brick was carefully made without any flaws.
Moreover, its durability was much better than the others. Ye Meng couldn't help but click her tongue. This money house was actually a modern bank. It was indeed rich.
However, no matter how rich they were, no matter how glorious they were in the past, they were now just a dilapidated scene. The seal on the door had already fallen off a little, and a part of it drooped softly like a withered willow in the residual wind.
Because no one dared to come over to clean up the fallen leaves at the door, there was already a very thick layer. Occasionally, a gust of wind would blow them away.
It was a scene that made people sigh.
Qi Lu, open the door." Ye Meng ordered. She didn't know when it started, but she was used to ordering this person to do everything.
Qi Lu did not think anything was wrong and happily went forward to push the door open.
It had only been a few days since they last cleaned the house, but a thick layer of dust had already accumulated on the door, and there was a thick spider web in the corner. The moment Qi Lu opened the door, his face was covered in cobwebs.
Ye Meng held back her laughter as she gestured for He Tang to go in with her. He Tang carefully looked around and then gently closed the door. After all, they had secretly come to investigate this time. At least they had to keep a low profile. If others found out that they had secretly entered, they would instead cause some unnecessary trouble.
Ye Meng knew what He Tang was thinking, so she made a great gesture in his direction. He turned around and continued walking forward.
The three of them were the only people left in the bank, except for the furniture that couldn't speak and the outlines of each corpse that were drawn on the ground during the forensics.
In the spacious manor, as long as one spoke a little louder, they could hear a soft echo.
If they came over in the middle of the night, ordinary people would indeed be frightened. However, Ye Meng was not afraid. After all, she had studied forensic science in her previous life and was used to seeing all kinds of tragic corpses. He Tang was also a medical student and had been traveling all over the world, so he was not afraid of these things.
Other than the slight sweat on Qi Lu's head, the three of them tacitly divided their work to check.
However, the sky was getting darker and darker. After a busy day, they still did not make any major discoveries.
Ye Meng had decided to give up. The few of them were also a little tired, so they found a random step to sit down and rest for a while.
"Sigh, looks like those little constables really didn't trick me.”Qi Lu massaged his legs and sighed." I thought they found something and kept it from us. I didn't expect them to really have no clues."”
"This is actually an important clue.”He Tang looked ahead. His blue eyes seemed to be mixed with thoughts, making it impossible to focus.
"So you've noticed it too." Ye Meng looked at him with a smile in her eyes. Although she had searched for an entire day and found nothing, she was not disappointed. Just like He Tang said, this was actually a clue and a discovery.
The two of them looked at each other and smiled. Ye Meng really felt that He Tang was very suitable to be a detective, which was their current constable. In short, he was much stronger than the fool beside him.
Meanwhile, Qi Lu, who was standing beside them, was feeling a little dizzy." What are you guys talking about? It's just a clue. Are you guys hallucinating after searching so hard?"”
Ye Meng's good mood was completely shattered by his words. Qi Lu, are you a pig?"
"Eh?" Qi Lu did not understand why he was suddenly scolded. "Where did I…"
Before he could finish, Ye Meng had already stood up and didn't listen to him. But this time, Ye Meng wasn't deliberately trying to embarrass him. She had just discovered something strange.
She felt a sound coming from the wall in front of her. It sounded like…a broom?
As he spoke, he put his index finger to his lips and made a shushing gesture. No matter how stupid Qi Lu was, he could sense that something was wrong and quickly shut his mouth.
They could also head in that direction together.
The closer the three of them got to the wall, the more obvious the sound of sweeping became. Ye Meng reached out and touched the wall. She felt that there was nothing wrong with it.
Shaking his head, he estimated that he had touched the wrong place. Then, he moved along the wall for a long time and finally stopped at the leftmost place.
She felt a crack. The crack was not very thin, so she could easily feel it. He tapped on it lightly with his fingers, and the sound was very different from the sound of a solid wall.
Therefore, the wall was empty!
With this discovery, she quickly called Qi Lu and He Tang over. The two of them happened to be groping at the other end. When they saw her hand gesture, they quickly ran over.
"Look here." Ye Meng pointed at the crack and said to them when they came over. Then, she gently knocked on the crack.
"Empty?" This time, Qi Lu reacted quickly.
"Yes, that's right. This should be a door." Ye Meng nodded and was happy with this discovery. Perhaps there were some mysteries in this.
"Could it be that the money house uses those to store gold, silver, and jewelry?”" Is there a treasure in there?" Qi Lu suddenly asked. Then, he said happily," Is there a treasure in there?"”
Ye Meng was completely speechless. She knocked his head hard and scolded him." Have you watched too much anime?"”Only those who were unrealistic would believe in the things in comics. They would believe that there was really a treasure in a corner of the world and that they were about to open it. Did he think that he was the main character in a hot-blooded cartoon?
"An anime?" Once again, Qi Lu heard an unfamiliar term from Ye Meng's mouth." Ye Meng, what's an anime?”
Hearing his question, Ye Meng could only blame herself for saying something he didn't understand. She would have to explain this term to him later. Sigh, besides wanting to knock Qi Lu to death, she also wanted to knock herself to death.
"I think Miss Ye is talking about something similar to comics.”He Tang looked at Qi Lu with his blue eyes and said gently.
"Oh." " Understood," Qi Lu replied. Then, he subconsciously crossed his arms and turned his head to the side. However, he felt a chill in his heart.
The main thing was that He Tang's blue eyes were really too special. There was always a gentle and affectionate look in them.
Gentle? Affection? What the hell! This was the first time Qi Lu was being stared at by a man. Although He Tang actually did not intend to reveal that kind of emotion to him.
On the other hand, Ye Meng was thanking He Tang profusely in her heart. She really wanted to thank him for helping her explain to that idiot. But did they know the word " comic " in ancient times? However, on second thought, the term comic had already appeared since the Northern Song Dynasty. In other words, it was actually after the Northern Song Dynasty?
However, Ye Meng didn't dwell on this matter for too long. Because the sound of sweeping came from the opposite side again, and it was clearer than any time before.
"This…this place isn't really haunted, is it?”Qi Lu was leaning against the wall, so he could hear it more clearly. Thinking that it might be haunted, she jumped up in fright.
"The ghost matter is just something that the predecessors fabricated to scare people. It can't be real.”He Tang saw that he was afraid and kindly explained,"So, Constable Qi, don't be too nervous."”
"That's right, that's right." Ye Meng rolled her eyes as well. She really didn't know what else Qi Lu could do besides fighting.
She still couldn't figure out who had recommended him to be a constable here. Wasn't this clearly a threat? Fortunately, she met him. Thinking of this, she couldn't help but praise herself.
But who was sweeping the floor? Ye Meng was eager to open the door and take a look.
