Chapter 24 Sketching Characters, The Joyful Clouds Sutra
"This way, you two, please."

Go around the middle courtyard and pass through the archway into the backyard. What comes into view is a withered back garden with rockery and pond, and a large space.

The road is paved with bluestone, and there are regularly trimmed lawns on both sides. Although they are now dry and yellow in the cold winter, you can still tell that they are carefully trimmed.

After passing the garden, a single-family two-story building appeared in front of us.

"This is my daughter's residence. I didn't live here before, but now I've moved here. This place is open, and I think it would be difficult for a flower thief to get through. There are guards patrolling the house every day, working in three shifts, so it's safe."

Zhou Yi frowned: "Isn't it originally this yard?"

Lin Yuanzhi nodded: "Yes, it was originally in Xiyuan."

"Okay, let's meet Miss Lin first."

Entering the second floor, the maid was about to report when she was stopped by Lin Yuanzhi. The three of them went upstairs and bursts of fragrance came in. Sandalwood was burning in the house. The smell was elegant and light, which could relieve the depressed mood.

A woman sat blankly by the window, her chin resting on her hands. She was unwashed, her hair was disheveled, her eyes were red and swollen, and there were traces of tears on her face.

When Lin Yuanzhi saw this scene, his heart felt like it was stabbed by a knife.

He walked to his daughter's side, raised his hand tremblingly, but did not dare to put it down.

Zhou Yi winked at Wang Yuyan, and Wang Yuyan walked forward and sat next to Miss Lin.

He whispered, "Ms. Lin."

Lin Shiyu turned her head and looked at Wang Yuyan, with a dazed look in her eyes: "Sister is so beautiful."

As she said this, she raised her hand and touched Wang Yuyan's face. This scared Zhou Yi. If this woman went crazy and scratched Wang Yuyan's face with her nails, it would be too late for regret.

He flashed and grabbed Lin Shiyu's hand.

He said lightly, "Ms. Lin, we are from the capital to investigate a case. We need your cooperation on some matters."

"Sir, may I stay with you?"

Lin Yuanzhi was afraid that something might happen to his daughter, and there was a pleading look on his face.

Zhou Yi nodded: "Well, of course you can."

Lin Shiyu's eyes also became clear. She wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes and her expression calmed down.

"Please ask, my Lords."

"Do you have a pen and paper?"

"Have."

Lin Zhiyuan handed over a pen and paper, and Wang Yuyan took it consciously.

Zhou Yi began to interrogate: "Ms. Lin, do you still remember when you fell asleep that night?"

"I forgot the exact time, but it should be around 3:30 pm. For more than ten years, unless something unexpected happens, I go to bed at this time, and the difference will not exceed 2:30."

"Does the maid also rest at this time?"

"Chun Tao always rests after I fall asleep."

"So when did Miss Lin wake up after what happened that night?"

Lin Shiyu frowned: "I vaguely heard the crowing of a rooster, it should be the Yin hour."

"Master Lin, could you please bring the maid up here for questioning?"

Lin Yuanzhi nodded, went downstairs and called the maid Chuntao up. Zhou Yi asked again: "You are Chuntao, right?"

Chuntao nodded quickly: "Sir, I am Chuntao."

"Okay, let me ask you, when did you go to bed after your young lady fell asleep that night?"

Chun Tao recalled: "I remember that the young lady went to bed at 3:45 pm that night. I stayed there until about 6:45 pm, when she fell asleep. After I washed up, it should have been about 2:45 pm, and I fell asleep at about 4:45 pm."

"Did you ever wake up during the night?"

"No, I slept soundly that night and didn't wake up until the lady called me. That's when I knew what happened."

Zhou Yi frowned and thought in his mind, if this is the case, the maid was drugged and naturally couldn't hear anything.

Judging from the time mentioned by the two people, the flower thief came at least after ten o'clock. The rooster crows at the Yin hour, and the rooster crows mostly around two or three o'clock, so there is a gap of four to five hours in between.

Moreover, Lin Shiyu had to wait for the moment when the drug wore off before she could wake up. The maid was woken up by being called, and Lin Shiyu woke up because of the strenuous exercise and the effect of the drug wore off.

However, I don’t know much about drugs, so I have to go back and ask.

As he spoke, Zhou Yi continued to look at Lin Shiyu: "I heard from the county government that Miss Lin went to report the case a few days ago and said that she remembered something. Can you tell me about it?" Hearing this, Lin Shiyu's face showed shame and anger: "I, I..."

"It's okay. We are all investigating the case. This matter will be kept confidential."

As he spoke, Zhou Yi looked at Lin Yuanzhi and said, "Master Lin, can you please go downstairs and wait for a moment?"

Lin Yuanzhi hesitated for a long time, but finally listened to Zhou Yi and went downstairs.

Exhaling a breath of depression, Lin Shiyu said: "A few days ago, I remembered something. In fact, when I was being bullied by that rapist, I seemed to be conscious, but my mind was confused and groggy, and I was not awake."

"Although my vision is blurry, I still remember that person, roughly, just..."

Suddenly, Lin Shiyu looked at Zhou Yi with some embarrassment, and Zhou Yi realized that his body shape was similar to that guy!
Grass!
My mentality is a bit broken!

"It's okay, Miss Lin, just go ahead."

"His figure was somewhat similar to yours, sir. Besides, he had a pair of peach blossom eyes, but I can't remember his face clearly."

"By the way, I do remember a few of the words he was muttering."

"Yin and Yang combine, and the feathered clothes meet. The essence rises to the seven star veins like a ray of light. The surging essence of the feathered Yin flows over all the meridians and converges into the Jade River..."

Wang Yuyan recorded faster and faster, but her brows became more and more furrowed.

"Ms. Lin, can you remember anything else?"

Facing Zhou Yi's question, Lin Shiyu shook her head and smiled bitterly: "If I remembered more, the rapist would have been caught by now!"

With a sigh, Zhou Yi comforted her, "It's okay, we will definitely catch that rapist, and we hope Miss Lin will come out to testify then!"

"nature!"

"Yuyan, go and borrow some charcoal from Patriarch Lin. If he doesn't have any, ordinary charcoal will do."

He planned to paint a portrait of the flower thief. Although his painting skills were average, he had learned a little bit in order to pick up girls.

Soon, charcoal pencils and rice paper were brought, and Zhou Yi began to paint.

First, construct the shape, then determine the proportions of the facial features and forehead, and then enrich it little by little.

There are many kinds of peach blossom eyes. He chose the most common one and drew it on, then handed it to Lin Shiyu to take a look.

Lin Shiyu was surprised, but still shook her head: "No, there is a hint of red in the corner of the eye."

Zhou Yi understood: "Borrow my rouge."

As she spoke, she applied a streak of rouge with her little finger and drew red on the outer corners of her eyes. Lin Shiyu immediately exclaimed, "Yes, that's right, it's these eyes, there's no mistake!"

"I remember, that's it!"

Wang Yuyan looked at Zhou Yi and exclaimed in her heart: "I didn't expect that Master Zhou's painting could be so vivid!"

After putting the portrait away, Zhou Yi stood up and said, "Thank you very much, Miss Lin. In this case, we will take our leave first. I will definitely inform Miss Lin when the case is solved!"

"We must catch him!"

After leaving the courtyard, Lin Yuanzhi took the two of them to take a look at the yard where Lin Shiyu had lived before.

There is nothing much to say about this yard. Although it is spacious, the corridors and corners are connected. Not to mention a flower thief with great martial arts skills, even a martial arts expert can avoid it.

I went up to take a casual look and didn't find anything unusual. It had been a long time, and with the winter snow falling and melting, all traces had long been wiped out.

After leaving Zhou's house and walking on the road, Wang Yuyan asked curiously, "Mr. Zhou, I didn't expect you to be proficient in painting, but this kind of painting method is the first time I have seen it."

Zhou Yi smiled and said, "That's right, I know a lot of things, you will know in the future."

"By the way, Yuyan, do you remember those formulas?"

Wang Yuyan nodded quickly: "Yes, I have seen it in the Huanshi Water Pavilion. This is a dual cultivation method called "Huanhe Yunxiao Sutra". If I remember correctly, it should be the internal strength of Yun Zhonghe, one of the four great villains in the world."

"Cloud Crane?!"

Zhou Yi was surprised and asked, "Are you sure?"

"It should be correct. When I first saw this technique, Murong Fu told me about its origin."

"Although Yun Zhonghe's master is unclear, his skill of Snake Crane Eight Fights is from the Hehuan Sect in the western part of the Song Dynasty. This sect was destroyed that year, and its internal skill is the "Huanhe Yunxiao Sutra."

Zhou Yi laughed: "Okay, okay, Yuyan, you really are my lucky star!"
