"She said that Madam seemed to be in a low mood. She didn't even eat a few bites of dinner. She just said she was tired and wanted to rest. She didn't dare to go in and disturb her. She knocked on the door at night and asked Madam if she wanted some midnight snack. Madam came back and said no.

It wasn't until noon the next day, which was the time when Madam usually got up, that she went to wake Madam up and discovered that something had happened."

Ling Shu: "Did she have any close friends during her lifetime?"

Old housekeeper: "Madam often goes to banquets, but rarely goes out alone. I have never heard that she has any close friends. On the contrary, recently, she mentioned a gentleman named Ling twice."

Ling Shu:......

Yue Dingtang: "What did you say?"

Old housekeeper: "He said he met an old classmate from the past, and said that Mr. Ling is as handsome as before."

Yue Dingtang raised his chin slightly and nodded at Ling Shu: "He is that Mr. Ling."

The old housekeeper's eyes immediately changed when he looked at Ling Shu, as if he could say a thousand words without saying anything.

Ling Shu:......

It’s not like he explained it, it’s not like he didn’t explain it, he just pretended that he didn’t see it.

"I want to take them both to the scene of the incident to have a look."

Yue Dingtang nodded: "After the incident, they immediately sealed off the scene and didn't even touch the footprints on the window sill."

But he soon discovered that he had made a mistake.

It just snowed yesterday, and even if there was no wind, the original footprints were already covered with a thin layer of snow that had not completely melted.

Not only that, the wind blew open the ajar windows, bringing in snow particles and dust, which could even be seen at the foot of the bed.

This was naturally a dereliction of duty by the relevant patrol officers, but these days, such things were so normal that Yue Dingtang Xinzhi said it would be useless.

Everyone's eyes are on every corner.

The room is the style that Du Yunning likes, with gorgeous, luxurious softness everywhere.

Yuan Bing probably didn't like this place. Ling Shu didn't find any men's items in the room. Even the clothes in the closet were Du Yunning's own clothes.

In other words, the two couples slept in separate rooms.

No wonder Yuan Bing didn't know anything about Du Yunning's accident.

"When the thief came in and out through the window, didn't you hear any movement?"

This time Ling Shu asked the housekeeper.

The old housekeeper smiled bitterly: "When the old man was here, the house originally had a nursing home. Later, our master took charge and said that this was a concession and it was safe enough. There was no need to open so many mouths to eat, so he dismissed many people. Before the accident, the Yuan family

There were three male servants who took turns keeping watch at night. When there was a shortage of men, I would fill in. That night, Sancai was so hungry and the old man went home on leave, so I temporarily took over the duty for them, but I was too old to be of any use.

, I took a nap for a long time in the middle of the night. When I woke up, it was almost dawn. When I saw that there was no movement at home, I didn't take it to heart. Who knew that such a big thing would happen."

He is nearly seventy years old, his hair is all white, and his robe cannot support his slightly stooped back.

For such an old man, let alone murder, it would be impossible for him to break a window and escape.

According to the housekeeper and maid, Du Yunning usually only went to coffee shops to drink tea, visited department stores, and attended salon banquets held by rich ladies.

When it comes to enmity, it is at most just a quarrel with the wives. Women, there are many things that can make Tiaozi act petty, but it is absolutely impossible to go to the point of killing someone.

"I heard from the first patrolman who arrived here -"

Yue Dingtang walked to the bed and reached out to open the drawer.

"At that time they saw the drawer was ajar."

Ling Shu subconsciously asked: "What's inside?"

Yue Dingtang: "Everything is missing. Oceans, jewelry, and gold watches are all there."

Ling Shu: "Then we rule out that the murderer came here purely to seek money and kill people."

Yue Dingtang hummed: "Actually, we have already asked the questions you just asked them."

He did not stop Ling Shu, but also wanted to see what new discoveries he could make.

The old housekeeper and the maid stood at the door politely, waiting for them to inspect the room before following the patrolman downstairs.

Ling Shu thought of Du Yunning's three letters and was about to ask something when he heard a lot of noise behind him.

He turned around and saw the maid slipping down the stairs.

The other person fell completely. Fortunately, the patrolman had the sharp eyesight to catch her quickly, otherwise the old housekeeper in front of her would definitely suffer.

"What's going on? You can't even go down the stairs!" the patrolman scolded.

The maid Alan didn't seem to hear anything, with a frightened look on her face, and turned around suddenly, as if she saw something extremely frightening.

Ling Shu looked in her direction and found that the door they had closed just now had been opened again at some point.

The wind blows open the gauze curtain by the window, and the light and shadow rise and fall, and the snowy air blows coldly from the open room to the stairs.
