Chapter 93 93 Shi Mansion
Yan Zheng led his men to search Shi's mansion for a whole night. They finished the search at daybreak, but they did not find the locked-up crazy woman.
Everyone in the government office was in a panic. No one dared to act alone. Several masters were gathered together, not to mention the servants.
Early in the morning, the maids and servants went to prepare breakfast.
Yan Zheng came to see Liang Yi and Shi Yan Gui with a worried look on his face.
"I tried my best to find her, but I couldn't find her. Could she have escaped?"
Liang Yi looked at Su Yan.
Su Yan: “…”
She reminded in a low voice, "You are the little prince."
Liang Yi: "Even if I am His Majesty, I don't know where the person is."
Su Yan: “…”
Can he still establish his authority?
Su Yan said: "It is certain that she has been able to move freely in the mansion over the years. She should be very familiar with the situation in the mansion. Has she found the secret passage or secret room?"
Yan Zheng: “…”
Even if it really exists, does he have to dare to look for it?
Su Yan looked at Shi Yangui.
Shi Yangui said: "Not as far as I know."
Su Yan said to Liang Yi: "As far as he knows, there isn't one, but he doesn't know much, so there might be one."
Shi Yangui: "..."
The explanation is quite precise.
Whether there is a secret passage in Shi Mansion, we can only ask Shi Pei.
Shi Pei didn't know what was going on yet, so he answered straightforwardly, "There is a secret door in my study, where I keep important documents."
Su Yan looked at Yan Zheng, "Have you checked?"
Yan Zheng shook his head.
How could he find the secret door?
Seeing this, Su Yan could only say, "Then let's check if there is a secret room, especially the courtyard where Bai Wei once lived, as she is more familiar with it."
If you want to know what happened, the quickest way is to ask the murderer.
After Fang Niao's death, everyone in the Shi Mansion became more alert. Guards and detectives were always on patrol, so the possibility of the murderer escaping was not high.
Yan Zheng lacked experience in this area, so Su Yan went to Shi Baiwei's former bedroom with Liang Yi and Shi Yangui.
The Shi Mansion had not been expanded before. Compared with now, Shi Baiwei's bedroom was considered the center of the Shi Mansion, but in the past it was considered a corner, and the Shi Mansion did not pay much attention to her.
Her biological mother passed away early, and it was Fang Niao who raised her. She went to Fang Niao's room quite a few times, and each time she went there, she had to be checked.
Several people checked together and the process was very fast.
After finding Shi Zheng's former study, Su Yan did not go in immediately, but squatted at the door to look at the shoe prints.
"These shoe prints should all be from Captain Yan's men. Look, they are all official boots."
Su Yan asked: "Didn't you go in and take a look?"
"There shouldn't be any footprints, but look, the dust on the door has become less, less than the dust on the window next to it, so the door must have been opened." Liang Yi said, and looked at Su Yan proudly, "I've learned well!"
Su Yan nodded: "Your Highness is really amazing!"
Liang Yi's mouth almost couldn't close.
Su Yan walked into Shi Zheng's study.
As soon as he entered, Su Yan saw strange rocks of various shapes on the antique shelf, many of which were dark red in color.
Su Yan walked over and said, "These are..."
She couldn't tell whether it was worth the money.
Shi Yangui said: "It should be my uncle's collection. He likes all kinds of stones."
Su Yan said: "I remember someone said he had been to Lingnan."
“Yes.”
Su Yan picked up one of the stones and said, "This is cinnabar."
Liang Yi's face changed drastically, "Poisonous?!"
He hid behind Su Yan and said, "It's poisonous. You go ahead."
Su Yan: “…”
——How can I call the little prince stupid without him noticing?
Liang Yi: "Did you scold me?"
Su Yan patted Liang Yi on the shoulder, "How could that be? In my heart, you are the smartest. You must have stayed up late and didn't get enough rest, so you must be hallucinating."
Liang Yi: “Oh…”
That's not right. He didn't say he was calling him stupid. How did Su Yan know that? !
Su Yan said: "The cinnabar stone is fine, but this stone seems a little too big and inconvenient to operate."
Liang Yi walked to the bookshelf and said, "There is a brocade box over here."
He took out two exquisite brocade boxes, opened them and said in surprise: "Sure enough, they are all small stones."
Su Yan and Shi Yangui went over together.
Su Yan said: "The box is not full, and there is basically no cinnabar stone. Is this considered... a murder weapon?"
Shi Yangui said: "If it is Shi Baiwei, she may indeed understand Shi Zheng's preferences."
Su Yan asked: "Why don't you call me uncle?"
Liang Yi groaned, "I even heard him calling his mother by her name."
He didn't dare to say such a thing, otherwise his life would be in danger.
Shi Yangui took back his hand holding the stone and asked, "Does this matter?"
Su Yan looked at him twice more.
This is still very important, right?
Liang Yi has already started searching the study.
Su Yan said: "Look carefully, there might be a secret room."
Liang Yi started knocking on the wall.
Su Yan walked out of the study and observed from outside, looking for a gap.
Only Shi Yangui stood there and looked around the study.
After a moment, he walked straight to the back of the antique display cabinet, felt along the brick surface, then took out a blue brick, revealing a twistable mechanism.
The mechanism was connected to the underground. Su Yan heard the sound of gears turning. She ran back to the study and saw a downward entrance behind the antique shelf. The entrance was narrow and could only accommodate one person.
Liang Yi exclaimed: "There really isn't a single good person!"
Su Yan said: "Shi Zheng has always been praised."
"Yes, yes, I forgot about that."
There is a narrow space under the study, which, by Su Yan's standards, is no more than five square meters.
There were some large wooden boxes in the secret room, the locks of which had been opened, as well as some hay and food scraps.
"She's hiding here."
Liang Yi bent down and walked over, opening the box. "They are all jewels, and there are also many valuable calligraphy and paintings."
Su Yan said: "It turns out to be a treasure house."
"Is Shi Baiwei hiding here?"
Su Yan said: "Judging from the remnants of the snacks, she should have been hiding here for the past few days and left not long ago."
"I finally found this place, but she's not here yet," Liang Yi said, "Could she have other targets?"
Su Yan didn't know her motive for killing, and it was even more impossible for him to know whether she had other targets.
But she was not there, and everyone became nervous. Liang Yi arranged to send people to look for other people in the mansion.
Just when Su Yan was about to change places to continue looking for someone, Yan Zheng ran in in panic, "Your Highness! It seems, it seems that we have found him!"
Liang Yi frowned, "What do you mean by seem?"
"That is... I am not sure either. Please go and take a look."
A large number of people surrounded the old lady's yard.
There were even more people in front of the main house.
Su Yan and his companions arrived, and Liang Yi asked incredulously, "Is the person in the old lady's room?"
Yan Zheng pointed to the beam.
A few people walked into the main room and looked up, and sure enough, they saw a woman sitting on the beam, frowning at them.
The most amazing thing was that she was wearing a nanny's clothes, neatly dressed, with clean and fresh hair. She was dressed better than the average nanny. How could she look like a prisoner?
Yan Zheng said: "She has been hiding among the servants of the Shi Mansion. I was wondering why I couldn't find her. Her brain is too powerful."
"Among the servants?" Su Yan asked in disbelief, "Didn't you ask the other maids?"
"Yes! The problem is that she seems to be with them all the time, and they all think it's normal to have this person."
Su Yan: “…”
In other words, over the years she often appeared as a maid or a nanny, shuttling between different rooms and fooling the maids.
The Shi Mansion was large and had many servants, so it was normal that they couldn't tell the difference.
Su Yan looked at the woman, full of curiosity about her.
Liang Yi shouted, "We have already found you. Come down. Why are you locked up? Why did you kill someone? If there is a reason, I will definitely plead for you!"
The woman looked out the door and showed no intention of coming down.
She was looking at Shi Yangui who was outside the door, and Shi Yangui was also looking at her.
Seeing this, Su Yan pulled Shi Yangui in and whispered, "Hurry up and try to persuade him."
Shi Yangui raised his head and said, "If you don't come down, we will pick you up."
Su Yan: “…”
Is this advice?
Su Yan: Shi Yangui, why don’t you say something nice and coax the person down first!
Shi Yangui didn't say anything.
Su Yan had no choice but to touch him again, "I'm talking to you."
Shi Yan Gui said: "Didn't I do it?"
Su Yan: “…”
She stared at Shi Yangui for a while, then took a few steps back.
Liang Yi said: "Just bring the person down."
Yan Zheng didn't dare to make the decision on his own. Only after Liang Yi spoke up did he dare to let the constable climb onto the beam.
At this moment, the woman spoke up, "Don't bother everyone, I can come down by myself."
After she finished speaking, she jumped down from the beam. Her body was light and there was no heavy sound when she landed, she landed steadily.
At this height, Liang Yi didn't even dare to open his eyes.
Su Yan asked: "Did you kill them both?"
The woman curled her lips and smiled.
Su Yan asked again: "What is your motive, and who are you?"
The woman looked at Su Yan, smiled softly for a moment, and then said: "Didn't you go dig my grave? Don't you know who I am?"
Su Yan looked at Shi Yangui.
Shi Baiwei said: "Now that things have come to this, I am not afraid to tell everything, but Third Uncle should be concerned."
She walked towards Shi Pei, "Uncle San, can I speak?"
After not seeing each other for such a long time, Shi Pei could no longer recognize Shi Baiwei's appearance.
Not only has her face changed a lot, but her eyes are also different from before.
Shi Baiwei's eyes were like knives, lethal knives.
