I Wish to Ride the Wind - Chapter 7

For the sake of Daddy’s future, Shen Jiajia readily agreed to this matter, but because it was inconvenient to wear women’s clothes, she changed into men’s clothes and immediately followed Daddy out of the house.

She was worried about revealing flaws, and even took a folding fan to cover her chest.

Xie Chengfeng stood on her shoulders and laughed at her in a low voice: “You still fan your fans in autumn, for fear that others won’t know that you are a fool.”

Shen Chau in front quickly turned his head and asked in a rough voice, “What is this mad bird muttering about?”

Shen Jiajia smiled and said, “It said that it was a fool.”

“Ha, this stupid bird has self-knowledge.”

Xie Chengfeng pecked her ear angrily.

Along the way, Shen Jukuai briefly told Shen Jiajia about Yushi Qian’s family situation. Qian Yushi was born in a family of farming and reading. After he was admitted to the jinshi, he was considered a glorious ancestor. Now he has a wife and a concubine in the family, and both of them have children. Qian Yushi had a bad temper. Not only did he scold those officials in the court, he also often reprimanded his wife and children when he returned home, and he was also very strict with his servants. The day before yesterday, after scolding Zhou Shilang, he was in a bad mood. He had a fight with his wife at dinner last night. He stayed in the study that night, and was found dead in the study early this morning.

Xie Chengfeng stood on Shen Jiajia’s shoulder and whispered: “A mad dog.”

When they arrived at Qian Yushi’s house, the two were led to the scene of the crime by the butler, who was a little puzzled: “Didn’t you just come here?”

Shen Zhukuai smiled honestly: “Look at it again.”

Qian Yushi’s study is located in the southeast corner of the inner house, separated from the inner house by a stone path and green bamboo. It is a quiet and elegant place. The name of the study is “Zhiyuantang”, which means “no indifference, no clear ambition, no tranquility, no far-reaching”.

Shen Jiajia walked into the study, and saw that the study was about 10 feet square, and the interior furnishings were unobstructed: a bookshelf against the wall, with books and antiques on it; At the moment, the arrangement is a bit scattered; there is a couch with a rolling stool under the couch; two paintings are hung on the wall opposite the bookshelf, both of which are quiet and distant landscape paintings; There is a small lotus in it, and the flowering period has long passed. More than half of the palm-sized lotus leaves are withered, and the rest are shriveled and warped.

Shen Jiajia observed it carefully, wishing to turn over every corner. Seeing her groping on the ground, Shen Chukuai couldn’t help reminding her: “The ground has been knocked on, but no holes have been made.”

Finally, Shen Jiajia knelt on the ground and looked at the destroyed door, and asked the housekeeper, “How did you get in?”

“I called Alang twice this morning and didn’t wake up, so I called someone to break into the door together, and I saw Alang, he… ah.”

“What happened last night?”

“No. The head of the card, I heard that my Alang didn’t commit suicide. This, this, if he was killed, how did that person get in and how did he get out? Could it be a ghost taking his life?”

Shen Jiajia smiled and said, “If it’s a ghost asking for his life, then killing him, so why fake the scene?… I already know how this person came and went, Daddy, look.” After speaking, he pulled out the door bolt, got up and handed it to Shen Jiajia. In front of Chu Kuai, he raised his index finger and nodded.

Shen Zhukuai was embarrassed to say in front of the housekeeper that he didn’t understand, and nodded deeply.

Until he left Yushi Qian’s house, Shen Jukuai was still looking at the door lock, “Sanniang, what the **** is going on?”

“If I’m not mistaken, the killer should have pulled the bolt up from outside the door.”

“Ah? How is this possible?”

“Tie the door bolt with a silk thread, and then pass the silk thread through the slot on the door. People hold the silk thread to close the door and stand outside. As long as the thread is pulled, the door bolt will be driven into the slot, because it is a live thread. Button, pull the other end of the silk thread outside the door, the button will be untied, and then the silk thread will be pulled away, and so on, without knowing it.”

“This…this…” Shen Chaukuai still felt a little too incredible, “Is there any evidence for this?”

Shen Jiajia pointed to a part of the door bolt: “I didn’t let you see it, there is a slit at the bottom of the door bolt. The slit is very straight, and it looks like it was slashed with a knife. Who would normally make a knife slit on the door bolt? ?unless…”

Shen Chukuai finally understood, and slapped his head: “Unless it is to jam the silk thread and make the silk thread more firmly tied!”

Shen Jiajia smiled and said, “Daddy is really smart.”

“Hey-hey.”

Xie Chengfeng stood on her shoulder and rolled his eyes.

Shen Chukuai finished laughing and became puzzled: “I now understand how the murderer came out, but how did he get in?”

“When he came out of the door, it showed that he entered through the door – if there was another way, there was really no need to move the bolt. Since there is no possibility of opening the door from the outside, there is only one reason – the door is Qian Yushi took the initiative to open it.” Shen Jiajia held his chin in a positive tone, “So, this person Qian Yushi must know and be unprepared for him.”

The more Shen Chakuai listened, the more surprised he became, “Yes, yes.”

“Not only that, I also found this from the scene.” Shen Jiajia said, took out a leaf from his sleeve and handed it to Shen Chukuai.

“This is… Begonia’s leaf?”

“Yes, I just chatted with the housekeeper, and I’ve already asked him side-by-side. Yushi Qian attaches great importance to the neatness of his clothes. Although there is a possibility that he walked into the study with a begonia leaf on his body, it is very small. This leaf is more likely to be the murderer. So, we can now narrow down the suspects a bit more: those in Qian Yushi’s family who may have come into contact with the begonia tree or passed under the begonia tree.”

Shen Chukuai opened his mouth wide and looked at her. After a while, he murmured, “I… I’m amazing.”

Xie Chengfeng: ? ? ?

What to do with Er?

Shen Jukuai: “I can actually give birth to such a capable daughter.”

Xie Chengfeng:…

alright.

Having said that, Xie Chengfeng was inexplicably worried about Shen Jiajia’s future husband. Marrying such a wife is destined to have no secrets in the second half of your life, tsk, pitiful.
