Unparalleled Double Harmony

Chapter 143 In short, you go first

"Heh..." After listening to the old housekeeper's description, Yun Shili laughed at that time, and with this relaxed smile, he said directly to Butler Sun, "Old man, the room is pitch black, you and the people outside are holding A lantern, with just a little light coming in from the hole, can you really see what's going on inside?" He paused, "Furthermore...I'm not good at saying it, you're still at your age It’s hard to avoid being a little dizzy, isn’t it? Is it impossible for you to see it wrong?”

After all, Yun Shili is an outstanding figure in Jinyiwei, and he is undoubtedly an expert in criminal investigation. The two doubts he raised right now are indeed very reasonable.

If this is a modern court with the law of the sea, and Sun Butler is a witness who testifies on the witness stand, then these two doubts are 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 matter—do you believe it?Go see for yourself.

"Hey! My lord, everything I said is true, I dare not say anything false." Sure enough, Sun Butler's response after hearing the words was, "If you don't believe me, you can go and see for yourself. Just at this moment... the room is still singing."

"Okay, just watch." Yun Shili doesn't believe in ghosts and gods, so he is naturally not afraid, "Come on, give me a lantern too..."

As he spoke, he took a lantern from the servant who led them, and then walked towards the house.

When the servants and servant girls standing in the open space in front of the house saw him coming, they all scattered to the sides to make way for him.

As for Sun Yixie, seeing Yun Shili approaching so boldly, he silently followed.

After a few steps, Yun Shili came to the door of the house; not to mention, after walking a few steps closer, he could really hear singing in the house.

This sound is a little strange, there is no echo at all, and it is not loud, but it doesn't seem to be sung with a low voice on purpose... If I have to describe it, it seems that the person singing the song is in a very open, Far away, not in a closed room.

"Huh?" Yun Shili was also a little puzzled by this strange situation.

He originally thought that there were thieves pretending to be gods and tricks, and bribed the servants and even the housekeeper to make trouble, but when he heard the singing, he felt that something was wrong...

Not to mention how the other party produced this "distant singing voice" effect in a small room, just listening to that song itself has problems-singing is a bit too good.

Mr. Yun is also someone who has eaten and seen it. He has heard of the serious Kunqu opera troupe, and he heard it sung by the "family troupe" raised by the family at the home of the court officials; the "unserious" ones...from the capital When he was in Jinling, he had been to quite a few famous brothels, including the prostitute actress who sang very well, and he was lucky enough to meet a few of them...

There is no doubt that Yun Shili has a certain appreciation for the matter of "whether the song is sung well or not".

Therefore, Yun Shili understood as soon as he heard it that the piece of "The Story of the Red Plum" he was listening to at the moment, after searching all over the world, few of them could sing at this level; Then just find someone who can sing casually with two voices. It is impossible to find such a good actor to do this for you.

Thinking of this, Yun Shili couldn't help becoming a little nervous, but this alone was not enough to make him believe in the existence of goblins and ghosts... After hesitating for a while, he still held up the lantern steadily and leaned forward Go, look into the hole in the window paper...

"How is it?" Sun Yixie immediately asked behind him.

After Yun Shili finished reading, he turned around and replied, "I can't see anything here."

"Oh?" Sun Yixie approached him suspiciously when he heard the words.

Yun Shili raised the lantern again, right next to the small hole, to help Sun Yixie shine.

As a result, Sun Yixie took a look and realized that he really couldn't see...

The light of the lantern, passing through the hole and the part of the window paper, only extended a little bit, as if being swallowed by a tangible dark substance, and stopped moving forward.

So no matter how much they peeped in, they could only see darkness.

"Look, let me say that your butler's words are not trustworthy. It's just such a hole, with such a little light, it should be invisible. How did he see the goblin?" Yun Shili asked at this moment. 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...you will find out when you open the door."

Sun Yixie listened, nodded, and then reached into his arms to get the keys - he has the keys for every door in the Sun family's house, and he naturally has the keys for this storage room.

"Here, Brother Yun, I'll leave it to you." After Sun Yixie found out the key to the house, he handed it to Yun Shili without hesitation.

Yun Shili took the key almost instinctively, but he didn't expect that as soon as he grabbed it, Sun Yixie on the opposite side let go and took a step back. He quickly stepped back eight meters, and even stood still. Farther than some of the onlookers...

"Eh? Yixie, what are you doing?" Yun Shili turned to look at him, "Aren't you going in with me?"

"No." Sun Yixie vetoed it very simply.

"Why?" Yun Shili asked again.

"I have difficulties." Sun Yixie replied.

When Yun Shili heard this sentence, he felt annoyed and amused: "Is there any difficulty? Heh... just afraid?"

"Why are you talking so much?" Sun Yixie was a little bit annoyed, "You said it yourself before... What's 'it's either a wild cat or a dog or a thief stealing something', and what's 'in a short while It can help you to settle the matter'... These are all your exact words."

Yun Shili also loves to argue: "Hey, what if... what if there really are goblins?"

"Ha!" Sun Yixie laughed dryly, "That's even better. Didn't you say that you have never seen a goblin in your age, and you want to open your eyes?"

Yun Shili also laughed: "Then you don't want to open your eyes?"

"No need." Sun Yixie said, "I just saw it a few months ago, nothing interesting."

"You just met a few months ago?" In the next second, Yun Shili couldn't help repeating Sun Yixie's words in an unbelievable tone, because in his perception, even if it was an excuse, this The answer is also a bit illogical.

"Yeah, otherwise why would I be in trouble?" Sun Yixie continued in a confident tone, "In short, you go up first, and if you don't come out in a while, I will seal this courtyard and go to Ling The Yin Temple invites eminent monks to come here to save you, and if something happens to you in the end, I will definitely report to the Ming court and say that you are killing harm for the people and dying for the country, and ask them to give you a grand burial."

Yun Shili started to panic.

Because he faintly sensed that although Sun Yixie's words were outrageous at the moment, his tone and demeanor did not seem to be joking.

But the matter has come to this point, if you ask him to go back and say, "Why don't we go directly to Lingyin Temple to invite the old monk", he can't say it.

Besides, just these few words are not enough to completely change Yun Shili's world view; he still doesn't believe in fairies, so what he thinks at this moment is...even if there are demons and ghosts in this world, what is happening in front of him? It may not be in this door.

So, he took a breath of his dantian, built up his courage, took precautions, 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 "Woooo—" passing through the courtyard.

When the wind blows, the door opens by itself.

Not only that, Yun Shili at the door also seemed to be "pushed" by the wind, staggered two steps forward and entered the house.

Ladies and gentlemen, if this is a frail woman or a skinny old man, it is still possible for him to be blown by the strong wind and lose his balance, but Yun Shili is a master who has practiced martial arts for many years. It won't be unstable in the wind.

At this time, Yun Shili also felt strange, and said in his heart: I didn't take a step forward?Why is this body moving forward involuntarily?

What's even more strange is that the moment he entered the house, the flame of the lantern in his hand... went out.
