Mrs. Shizi, she is both wise and brave

Shen Lingze shook his head and said, "Probably not. They went to your room twice in a row. Although they didn't find anything, they still have to report the situation to the higher-ups."

Su Jingning was also a little puzzled, and only waited for a while to observe carefully.

The place where the three Tatars lived was not too far from Qingyun Temple, and they arrived at the place after a quarter of an hour's carriage ride.

But their residence is in a small alley, not to mention that it is not easy for a carriage to get in and out, and if it stops at the door, it will easily arouse suspicion.

So Shen Lingze stopped the carriage far away at the entrance of the alley, and opened the curtain of the window to let Su Jingning take a look first.

"Let's go to the nearby tall buildings in a while, and look down there to see more clearly."

Su Jingning nodded, and looked out through the gap in the curtain.

There was not even a single person in the alley, and it was very quiet.

Shen Lingze's voice came from next to his ear, "The third one from the left is."

Su Jingning counted the corresponding gates, and saw that the gates were tightly closed, no different from other courtyards.

She thought for a while and asked, "Didn't the neighbors find it strange that there were three strangers living here suddenly?"

Shen Lingze replied: "These are all short-term rentals, and the tenants change frequently, and the new faces are not eye-catching."

Su Jingning understood, and when she couldn't see anything, she reached out and closed the curtain.

"Let's go!"

Shen Lingze nodded, knocked on the wall of the carriage, and the carriage moved again.

This time it took a longer time to walk. The carriage got on the Hufang Bridge and turned to Zhengyang Street, and finally went directly into the side entrance of a restaurant and stopped in the backyard.

There was a young man with red face and white teeth waiting in the yard. Seeing the carriage stopped, he looked around before stepping forward to help lift the curtain.

"Master, it's already been arranged." When Shen Lingze got out of the car, he immediately whispered.

Shen Lingze responded, and turned around to see Su Jingning carefully holding up the hem of her skirt to get off, so she couldn't help reaching out her hand to help.

Su Jingning didn't notice his movements at all, she was completely focused on getting off the car.

The long veiled hat she was wearing could be stepped on if she was not careful, and it would be bad if she fell again.

Shen Lingze's hand froze and immediately retracted it, and by the way, glanced at Xiaochi who was snickering next to him.

Xiaochi immediately tensed his face, but his heart became happy.

I have never seen the master so caring, and the lady didn't notice it at all.

It was in vain.

Thinking of what Chun Shui had whispered to him, he looked at Su Jingning calmly, and then stepped forward with a smile and saluted: "Xiaochi has seen Miss Su."

Shen Lingze introduced from the side: "This is my entourage. He grew up with me. He is very reliable."

Su Jingning glanced at him and nodded politely.

Only then did Xiaochi take the two of them to a three-story building behind them.

He explained while walking: "This restaurant is separated from that small courtyard by a river, and you can see the surrounding area clearly from upstairs."

Su Jingning understood, the three of them went up to the top floor and entered a room on the side, and Xiao Chi went to open the back window.

When Su Jingning stepped forward, Xiaochi immediately pointed in the direction of the yard.

Su Jingning looked over, and sure enough, she saw that the field of vision was excellent, and anyone who came out could see everything clearly.

The last time Shen Lingze came here, he only took a cursory look, but now he is observing carefully.

Su Jingning observed for a while and said: "There is a river behind this yard, and a road in front. The situation inside seems to be clear at a glance, so it's not easy to pass the news quietly."

Shen Lingze also agrees with this statement.

But neither of them believed that the other would stay honest and not communicate with the outside world.

Xiaochi also said from the side: "The subordinates have been monitoring here for a month. They went to Miss Su's place twice as if they had received orders suddenly, and there was no sign of preparation before."

Su Jingning nodded lightly, and looked at the courtyard where the three Tatars lived. It was empty and there were basically no traces of life.

She looked at the nearby houses again. There were clothes and sundries in the yard, which was full of life.

Su Jingning asked, "Aren't these three people active in the yard?"

Xiaochi replied: "They usually stay in the house, and rarely stay in the yard except for necessary activities."

Su Jingning raised her eyebrows and asked: "Shouldn't the Tatars prefer to do outdoor activities? Wouldn't it be uncomfortable for them to stay indoors?"

The Tatars were active on the grasslands, and they were accompanied by horses all day long. They were used to being free, so they were able to stay in the house so cautiously.

Xiaochi shook his head and said, "This little one doesn't know."

In his opinion, whether it is uncomfortable or not, the higher-ups ordered them to hold back. Could it be possible to disobey them?

Shen Lingze somewhat understood what Su Jingning meant.

I have heard that the Tatars are unruly and love freedom. Now that they have arrived in the capital alone, after all, they are not restrained by anyone. It’s fine if they don’t walk around outside. After all, there is a risk of being discovered, but they don’t even stay in the yard. It seems to be inconsistent with nature.

Su Jingning also thought so.

The Tatar who sneaked into her house before was still lustful when he was doing business, obviously he was not a cautious and self-disciplined person.

That being the case, there must be a reason for them to be able to endure and just stay in the house.

Su Jingning pondered for a while and asked, "Is there someone watching them nearby?"

Shen Lingze nodded and said, "Very likely."

But Xiaochi said: "But our people have been staring at this side, and didn't find anything unusual?"

The two looked at each other, and then looked at the small courtyard again.

Because the road is straight, the houses in this area are also very neat, and they are all built one next to the other along the way.

There are courtyards on the left and right of the small courtyard. In order to save money, the wall in the middle of the courtyard and the courtyard is shared, which looks crowded.

Su Jingning's eyes fell on the leftmost courtyard for a long time, and there were obvious traces of life in it.

There is only an empty yard between this yard and the one where the Tatars live.

Su Jingning thought for a while and pointed to the empty courtyard and asked, "Is there anyone living here?"

Xiaochi shook his head and said: "There is no one, it seems to be empty all the time."

She asked, "Is it because no one has ever entered this yard?"

Seeing how carefully she asked, Xiaochi thought it over again before he was sure: "No."

After confirming, Su Jingning pointed to the courtyard on the far left and asked, "Then who lives in this courtyard?"

Xiaochi hesitated: "Should be the tenant?"

Shen Lingze followed suit and saw that there was a small cart and clothes hanging in the yard, which looked no different from other yards.

He looked back at Su Jingning and asked, "Is there a problem?"

Su Jingning said, "It's best to check."

Xiaochi asked doubtfully, "But I haven't seen that family member have any contact with them?"

Su Jingning smiled: "Maybe it's just that there is no contact on the surface."
