"Ha..." After listening to the old butler's description, Yun Shili laughed at that time. With this relaxed smile, he directly said to Sun Guanjia, "Old man, it's dark in that room. You and the people outside the house are holding
A lantern, with just a little light shining through the hole, can you really see clearly what's going on inside?" He paused, "Besides... I'm going to put it bluntly, you're still your age.
Yes, you must be a little bit dim, right? You can’t possibly see it wrong?”
After all, Yun Shili is an outstanding figure among the Jinyi Guards, and he is undoubtedly an expert in criminal investigation. The two doubts he raised now 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 greatly reduce the credibility of his testimony.
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! Lord, everything I said is true, I dare not say anything false." Sure enough, Butler Sun's response after hearing this was, "If you don't believe it, go and see it for yourself.
Just now... there is still singing in the room."
"Okay, just take a look." Yun Shili doesn't believe in ghosts and gods, so naturally he's not afraid, "Here, give me a lantern too..."
With that said, 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 seem like it was sung with a lower voice on purpose... If I have to describe it, it is as if the person singing the song is in a very open place,
A very remote place, not in a closed room.
"Huh?" This weird situation made Yun Shili a little confused.
He originally thought that there was a thief who was playing tricks, bribed the servants and even the housekeeper to cause trouble, but when he heard the singing, he felt something was wrong...
Not to mention how the other party achieved 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 Yun is also someone who has seen and heard of the serious Kun 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; the "unserious" ones... came from the capital
When he came to Jinling, he had been to many famous brothels, including the famous actresses who sang extremely well. He was also lucky enough to meet a few of them...
There is no doubt that Yun Shili has a certain ability to appreciate whether the song is good or not.
Therefore, when Yun Shili heard it, he understood that the section of "The Story of Red Plum" that he was listening to at the moment could not be sung to this level even if he searched all over the country; if this song was created by someone just to pretend to be a ghost,
Then just find someone who can sing casually with two voices and that's it. 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 raised the lantern steadily and stepped forward.
Go, take 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 came over doubtfully.
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 a little bit, as if it had been swallowed up by a tangible dark substance and no longer moved forward.
So no matter how much they peered in, they could only see darkness.
"Look, let me just say that your housekeeper's words are not credible. It's just such a hole and such a little light. It should be invisible. How did he see the goblin?" Yun Shili asked at this time.
I feel that my previous doubts have been fulfilled.
"How do you explain the singing?" Sun Yixie asked.
"I don't know about that." Yun Shili replied, "But... won't you find out when you open the door?"
Sun Yixie listened, nodded, and 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 this house, he handed it to Yun Shili without hesitation.
Yun Shili took the key almost out of instinct, but he didn't expect that as soon as he took it, Sun Yixie on the opposite side let go and stepped back, quickly stepping back eight meters, even standing still
Further than some of the onlookers' servants...
"Eh? Yixie, what are you doing?" Yun Shili turned back to look at him, "Why don't you go in with me?"
"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 much talk?" Sun Yixie was a little annoyed, "You said it yourself before... What's 'either a wild cat or a wild dog, or a thief stealing things', and what else'
I can help you settle the matter'...These are your exact words."
Yun Shili also liked to argue: "Hey, what if... there really is a goblin?"
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "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 him a few months ago. There's nothing interesting to see."
"Did you just meet a few months ago?" The next second, Yun Shili could not help but repeat Sun Yixie's words in an incredible tone, because in his understanding, even as an excuse, this
The answer is also a bit illogical.
"Yes, otherwise why would I be in trouble?" Sun Yixie continued in a confident tone, "Anyway, you go in first. If you don't come out in a while, I will seal off this courtyard and then go to the spiritual hall."
The Yin Temple invites eminent monks to come here to save you. If anything happens to you in the end, I will report it to the Ming Dynasty, saying that you were doing harm to the people and died for the country, and ask them to give you a grand burial."
Yun Shili started 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.
But now that the matter has come to this, if you ask him to step back and say, "How about we just go to Lingyin Temple to ask the old monk," he won't be able to say it.
Moreover, just these few words are not enough to completely change Yun Shili's world view; he still doesn't believe in any monsters, so what he is thinking about at this moment is...even if there are monsters and ghosts in this world, before him
It may not be the case here.
So, he took a breath of Dantian Qi, plucked up the courage, was on guard, picked up the key and opened the lock on the door.
As soon as the lock was unlocked, before he could push the door open, he heard a gust of wind blowing through the courtyard.
When the wind blows, the door opens by itself.
Not only that, Yun Shili at the door seemed to be "pushed" by the wind, staggering forward two steps and entering the house.
Everyone, if this is a frail woman or a skinny old man, it is still possible for him to lose his balance due to 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, then he
It won't make you stand unsteady in the wind.
At this time, Yun Shili himself felt strange, thinking: I didn't move forward? Why did my body move forward involuntarily?
What's even more strange is that as soon as he entered the house, the flame of the lantern in his hand... went out.
