Skilled in managing a house

Zhang Yinling, this girl, was quite clever. She found a reasonably suitable reason for herself and walked over with her.

They walked to the door of the main room in the middle. There was also an open lock on the door of this room. To be honest, this kind of honest door lock has long been eliminated by this era. This type of lock is no longer used in the city, and can only be seen in the countryside.

However, this kind of old-fashioned door lock complements this kind of old-fashioned house. In addition, this is the inner courtyard of Tao's family. Security issues are definitely not a problem. Just like the peach blossom forest outside, there should be no one there, just casual. Just be able to come in.

Ling Hongzi walked to the door, unlocked the door with the key in his hand, and pushed the door open.

Zhang Yu and Zhang Yinling followed Ling Hongzi in. As soon as they entered the room, Zhang Yu had to look around again.

As soon as you enter the door, you will see a main room with a screen directly opposite. In front of the screen are five mahogany chairs and a mahogany coffee table. The mahogany chair in the middle is larger and is for two people, while the two mahogany chairs on the left and right sides are for single people.

The furnishings in the main room are relatively simple. Apart from these, there is also a bathroom and two mahogany cabinets, but nothing else.

On the left and right sides of the screen, there were traditional hanging curtains hung one after another. Ling Hongzi made an inviting gesture to Zhang Yu again, then walked past the hanging curtain on the left and came to the screen. after.

Behind the screen is the bedroom. Facing the screen, there is a large mahogany bed. Behind the bed is the window. The window is an honest wooden window frame, which is very beautifully outlined. But the middle of the window is not the ancient window lattice paper, but modern glass. This will allow sunlight to better shine into the room.

The bedroom is equipped with wardrobe, desk, chair, chest of drawers and other furnishings, and there is also a bathroom.

This kind of layout is actually very similar to a modern hotel suite, but the decoration style is particularly antique.

Zhang Yu stood by the bed and looked around for a while, but didn't see anything special. Zhang Yinling stood beside him and said: "Second brother, you said there is a problem here. Tianyinqin was switched here... Then tell me how it was switched..."

"Where was the Tianyin Qin placed at that time?" Zhang Yu asked.

"Put it right here..." Zhang Yinling pointed directly to the bed, where there was a mahogany footrest. Zhang Yinling pointed to the pedal and continued: "The top of this pedal..."

"Then where were you and Li Ruxuan when they were responsible for guarding?" Zhang Yu asked again.

"I'm sitting on a chair...Li Ruxuan is sitting on the ground..." Zhang Yinling said.

When he said this, he pointed specifically at the floor on the ground.

There is only one chair next to the desk in the bedroom. As a junior, who dares to sit on the elder's bed. Therefore, if Zhang Yinling sat on the chair, Li Ruxuan could only sit on the ground.

Zhang Yu asked again: "How long have you been sitting here, and have you never left here?"

"I can't remember exactly how long it took. It seemed like it was less than two hours. Later it was changed to Zhang Jinkai and Zhang Jinzhong. Li Ruxuan, I and the other two senior brothers who were guarding the gate went to have dinner. When we came back, My uncle and my father are also back," Zhang Yinling said.

"That's it...can we let Zhang Jinkai and Zhang Jinzhong come in to talk..." Zhang Yu said.

"Of course there is no problem." Zhang Yinling did not ask Ling Hongzi for his opinion. After saying this, she walked directly outside to greet Zhang Jinkai and Zhang Jinzhong.

Ling Hongzi didn't say much, but his expression was a little solemn. After all, for such a big thing as losing the Tianyin Qin, if you can't find it back, you will have to bear at least half of the responsibility. Who calls him Zhang Zhenren's senior brother? He is responsible for looking after the Tianyin Qin.

Soon, Zhang Yinling led three young Taoist priests into the room. Among these three people, one is an acquaintance of Zhang Yu, that is, Li Ruxuan. The other two are Zhang Jinkai and Zhang Jinzhong.

It can be seen that Zhang Yinling has become old-fashioned in her work, and she also knows how to find several parties at once.

After the three people came in, they first greeted each other, "Master, Master Zhang." "Master, Master Zhang." "Master, Master Zhang."

As soon as they heard the names, they could be sure that these two young Taoist priests were disciples of Ling Hongzi.

Ling Hongzi and Zhang Yu both nodded slightly, and then Ling Hongzi looked at Zhang Yu.

Zhang Yu said: "Three fellow Taoists, I heard from Zhang Yinling that Zhang Yinling and Li Ruxuan were responsible for guarding the Tianyin Qin in the room. Then you two replaced Zhang Yinling and Li Ruxuan and went to eat, and continued to guard the Tianyin Qin in the room. , but like this?"

"Yes."... Li Ruxuan and the two little Taoist priests nodded in agreement.

"Where were you two in the room at that time?" Zhang Yu looked at the two little Taoist priests.

"We are both sitting on the ground." Zhang Jinkai said, pointing in the direction, "I am sitting here on the left side, and Zhang Jinzhong is sitting over there on the right side."

"During this period, did you two leave the room?" Zhang Yu asked again.

"No." Zhang Jinkai said firmly.

"I haven't left the room either..." Zhang Yu frowned slightly and muttered: "If Tianyinqin is always under the noses of the four of you...it seems that no one can switch it out..."

Zhang Jinkai, Zhang Jinzhong, and Zhang Yinling all nodded. Only Li Ruxuan hesitated for a moment and said, "Zhang Zhenren, it can't be said that he has always been under the noses of the four of us."

"How do you say this?" Zhang Yu asked immediately.

Zhang Yinling, Zhang Jinkai and Zhang Jinzhong also looked at Li Ruxuan, wondering what Li Ruxuan meant. My impression at that time was that they had not left the Tianyin Qin even half a step.

Li Ruxuan said: "When the two senior brothers Zhang Jinkai and Zhang Jinzhong came to replace us, they first knocked on the door outside. My junior sister and I went out together to open the door and say hello. The junior sister also asked them what they had eaten tonight and what kind of food they had. It was delicious. The four of us talked in the main room for about a minute. Then my junior sister and I left."

"I remembered, there is indeed such a thing..." Zhang Yinling nodded, and then said: "But in such a short time, who can give Tianyin Qin a handover..."

"Um..." Zhang Yu hesitated for a moment, turned to look at the window, and said, "Was the window open or closed at that time?"

"Li Ruxuan and I didn't open the window." Zhang Yinling said first.

"The window is not open..." Zhang Yu strolled towards the back window. There were bolts on the windows, and they were still locked.

Zhang Yu stretched out his hand and pushed it, but he couldn't push it away at all.

Zhang Yinling, Zhang Jinzhong, and Ling Hongzi also followed him to the window, all looking at Zhang Yu. Zhang Yu checked the window on the right side of the bed. After making sure that there was nothing wrong with the window, he opened the latch and pushed the window open.

Glancing out the window, he walked around to the other side of the bed and checked the window on the left side of the bed.
