Life in siheyuan era

Han Xue didn't want to accept Zhou Zhiyuan's next move, her reasons were plentiful, "Doing so will alert the enemy. Once they escape, we won't be able to gather evidence and arrest them. I don't agree."

"I have the ability to arrest him. As long as he dares to come tonight, I'll take him down immediately."

Han Xue was full of confidence, but Zhou Zhiyuan had no confidence. He said solemnly, "Increasing the police force greatly increases the possibility of exposure. Letting you act alone is extremely irresponsible. Your parents won't let me hide under your bed, and you definitely can't do it alone."

"The best way is to obtain evidence in advance, not to wait for the rabbit. If we don't catch the rabbit and someone runs into a tree, I never do losing business."

"Listen to me before you speak. If you refuse, I'll act alone and then report to Deputy Director Zhang. I'd rather you hate me than regret it for the rest of my life. Choose one of the two options."

Zhou Zhiyuan had issued an ultimatum. Han Xue glared at him angrily, speechless.

They stared at each other for a while. Zhou Zhiyuan got up and said, "Come with me, or stay here." As he spoke, Zhou Zhiyuan got up and walked out, went to the door, changed into his Warrior shoes, and pushed the door open.

Han Xue hesitated for a moment, then hurriedly got up and chased after him, following behind him without saying a word.

The two walked up to the ninth floor, one in front of the other, and arrived at the door of the room. Zhou Zhiyuan stopped and looked left and right.

Han Xue followed suit, looking left and right, and saw Zhou Zhiyuan take out a steel wire from his satchel. He inserted it into the keyhole of the large copper lock and gently fiddled with it a few times. With a soft "click," the copper lock opened.

Zhou Zhiyuan then inserted the steel wire into the keyhole of the hidden lock, opened it, and gently pulled the door open. He whispered to her, "I'll go in, you keep watch at the door."

But Han Xue opposed this arrangement, replying in a low voice, "It's easier for me to be discovered if I stand at the door."

She objected, but Zhou Zhiyuan had a reason, "It's still the same logic. If there are traps in the room, it'll be troublesome if we both get caught."

But these two copper balls were decorations, not what he wanted. Looking at the layout here, he knew that Gu Chengliang wouldn't live in this room.

This was a master bedroom, it should be the bedroom of the director couple. Zhang Limin had told him that the director couple had gone to SH to work for a year and had entrusted this house to Gu Chengliang to take care of.

Viewers don't live in the owner's bedroom, that's common sense, but the reason Zhou Zhiyuan made this judgment was that the room didn't have that lived-in smell.

A lived-in room and an uninhabited room are definitely different. Gu Chengliang didn't live in this room, the other one was the focus.

As Zhou Zhiyuan walked out of the room, he suddenly thought of Han Xue. He went to the door and listened carefully, but didn't hear a sound, and his expression changed.

If Han Xue said two minutes, it would definitely be two minutes, not a second more.

He knew Han Xue's personality, glanced at the living room, and quickly walked into the room.

But Han Xue was nowhere to be seen in this room either, but he had a feeling that Han Xue had been in this room.

This feeling made him know that something was wrong. He stood still, took a light breath, and carefully examined the layout of the room.

A bookcase on one wall, a single wooden bed, a desk close to the window, the furnishings of this room were very simple.

Scanning the layout of the room, Zhou Zhiyuan's gaze fell on the desk again. He had a strange feeling that the desk was not close to the windowsill.

So he looked up at the window and saw blue sky and white clouds through the wooden window.

He withdrew his gaze and looked at the wooden shelf on the side, on which was placed a porcelain vase.

Looking at the other side again, the same wooden shelf and the same porcelain vase.

"It seems to be from the Ming Dynasty." Zhou Zhiyuan whispered and walked over to admire it.

He seemed to have forgotten about Han Xue, unaware that Han Xue had fallen into a haze. Green mist swirled here, and she vaguely saw a staircase leading upwards.

Seeing the staircase, she wanted to walk up, perhaps that was the way out.

Taking a few steps forward, a voice suddenly sounded in her ear, "When the situation is unclear, the first thing to do is to find out the situation; but in an unknown environment, never move rashly, calm down and carefully observe the surroundings, if you can't see clearly, don't move."

These were Zhou Zhiyuan's words. When the two were discussing the case, Zhou Zhiyuan expressed his opinion. At the time, she was quite unhappy. She had a professional background, but Zhou Zhiyuan was a self-taught, and dared to talk to her eloquently.

But at this moment, she remembered these words. Looking at the staircase in the haze again, she slowly squatted down to reduce her exposed surface, and then carefully observed the surroundings.

The mist swirled here, and the only thing she could vaguely see was the staircase, but the staircase might be the most dangerous thing.

Thinking of this, she would definitely not move. She didn't know how long had passed, she felt her legs were numb, sat down, hugged her knees, and waited silently, believing that Zhou Zhiyuan would definitely rescue her.

Han Xue was waiting for rescue, while Zhou Zhiyuan was still looking at the porcelain vase, and then determined that this vase was a "Bu Xian" from the official kilns of the Ming Dynasty.

The porcelain produced by the official kilns of the Ming Dynasty was divided into two categories: "Yu Xian" and "Bu Xian". The former was exclusively for the emperor, and the latter was for the court and diplomatic receptions.

Although this porcelain vase was a "Bu Xian", the craftsmanship was still exquisite, making Zhou Zhiyuan sigh, "It's worth some silver." Then he shifted his gaze to the window, the blue sky and white clouds proved the good weather.

So he withdrew his gaze and looked at the vase again, sighed softly, reached out his left hand, grabbed the porcelain vase, jumped onto the desk, and swung the porcelain vase at the window glass, making a "pop" sound. A cloud of green mist rolled out and swept over.

Faced with this strange phenomenon, Zhou Zhiyuan only had one way. Without hesitation, he stretched out his right hand. In an instant, the orange silk thread entered the Laogong acupoint, quickly rotated a circle, separated a little orange and a little green, and when they combined again, there was a "boom" sound, and the green mist disappeared without a trace.

At this time, a strange sight appeared. Half of the window in front of him had disappeared, and there was another window outside.

He glanced at the window outside, then looked at the remaining half of the window inside, lowered his head and looked at Han Xue sitting behind the desk hugging her knees, and asked softly, "Chief Han, are you considering philosophical questions?"

Hearing the sound, Han Xue looked up and saw Zhou Zhiyuan squatting on the desk, and two lines of clear tears instantly slid down.

The experience just now made her feel like she had lived a lifetime. This long wait made her suffer greatly. Seeing Zhou Zhiyuan at this time, she couldn't help but shed tears.

Seeing her cry, Zhou Zhiyuan put down the porcelain vase and reached out his hands.

Han Xue followed suit and stretched out her hands to grab them tightly. Suddenly, her mood became incomparably calm, and she heard him whisper, "It's okay, everything is over."

She knew it was okay. With Zhou Zhiyuan by her side, what could happen?

At this time, Han Xue would not analyze the reason for this state of mind. She calmly stood up and was pulled onto the desk by Zhou Zhiyuan, and then stood in front of the desk looking at everything in front of her.

She saw half a window. If there was no comparison with the window outside, what she saw was a smaller version of the window, and what was presented was the blue sky and white clouds outside the window.

Seeing this scene, she was puzzled, and heard Zhou Zhiyuan's solemn voice, "Don't try to figure out the mystery here. There are many things in the world that we can't understand. I'll just tell you the loophole here. Look at the white clouds outside the window, what will you see?"

Han Xue looked out and immediately said, "The white clouds outside are in various shapes."

After saying this, she immediately looked at the half window and said again, "The white clouds reflected in this window are dead."

Hearing her answer, Zhou Zhiyuan praised, "What strong observation skills."

Then he said, "But you didn't observe when you entered the room, but were attracted by this porcelain vase. What did you see at that time?"

"It seemed like a wisp of green smoke came out of the vase." Han Xue replied casually.

Then she said, "I entered this room after seeing a figure, I thought it was you, but after entering this room, I didn't see your figure..."

Han Xue spoke confidently, but when she said the latter part, she realized something was wrong, and her voice became lower and lower until it was silent.

Zhou Zhiyuan sighed, "To compete with me, you even ignored the danger."

Han Xue was silent, this was the truth.

Zhou Zhiyuan didn't continue to say anything, walked to the table, picked up the porcelain vase and put it on the bookshelf, walked to the wooden shelf, picked up the porcelain vase and said lightly, "Let's see who's hiding inside?"

As he spoke, Zhou Zhiyuan jumped onto the desk and swung the porcelain vase over.
