Chapter 313 The Luo Family and the Zhao Family
In the morning, Pei Yan discussed this with Qin Wei.
However, although the human figure last night was strange, there was no substantial injury or anything like that.
So, I decided to put this matter aside for the time being and see how the situation develops tonight.
Gu Chaoxi turned his head and looked at the well in the yard.
There are two buckets next to the well.
The wooden frame on top is used to provide the rollers and ropes for better salvaging well water.
She walked towards that direction and Pei Yan immediately followed behind her.
I looked towards the mouth of the well. Although it was only as wide as two buckets, it was deep enough underneath.
With a little bit of dim light, you can barely see the ripples on the water.
Now there is nothing in the well except water.
"If there was another person dead, why did they have to throw it into the well?"
If the murderer lived in the temple, then this well must be very important to him?
Pei Yan also leaned over to take a look, but he quickly stood up.
"Maybe it wasn't the murderer's intention."
If the person being killed was next to the well at the beginning, it is possible that the victim fell into the well during the argument between the two.
After all, the incident has not happened yet, and no one knows how the deceased died.
Gu Chaoxi pursed her lips and said nothing.
Qin Wei and his team have made some breakthroughs.
The place where Mr. Qin and his family live is not only occupied by the Qin family, but also by two other families.
Two of the rooms belong to a brother and sister.
The brother's name is Luo Yu and the sister's name is Luo Zhi.
This brother and sister were the two survivors of the Luo family during the war.
However, according to the information Qin Wei had found out, the brother and sister were not very favored at home.
It was even a coincidence that they were able to hide from the war in the ancient Anning Temple.
According to the information Qin Wei heard after she established a good relationship with Luo Zhi, the two were actually driven by their grandmother to come to the Ancient An Ning Temple to pray for their family.
The son born to the main wife of the Luo family particularly disliked the brother and sister, so he didn't want them to return to the Luo family at all.
Therefore, the two could only temporarily live in the ancient Anning Temple in the name of praying for blessings.
I heard that when the war just started, the brother and sister thought about going out and finding refuge with the Luo family.
But the Luo family didn't like them in the first place, so they sent them a letter, telling them that the Luo family had moved away and asked the brother and sister to stay in the temple temporarily. When the war subsided, the Luo family would send someone to pick them up.
The brother and sister are not fools. They know at this time that they have been abandoned by the Luo family.
So the two of them stayed in the temple.
In addition to the Luo family's brother and sister, there are also people from the Zhao family living here, including the Zhao family's wife and the Zhao family's brother and sister.
The brother and sister are named Zhao Zhiyan and Zhao Xiangxiang.
Compared with the situation of the two brothers and sisters of the Luo family, the situation of these three people of the Zhao family is somewhat different.
The head of the Zhao family is a military officer of moderate status. Now that war is raging, he naturally has to go out and lead the troops to fight, leaving his wife and children at home.
However, he also anticipated that the world was in turmoil, so he sent his wife and children to the ancient Anning Temple. He also heard that this was a temple exclusively for the royal family, so he felt relieved.
Although the mother and her two sons arrived later than the two siblings of the Luo family, they lived next door to each other by chance.
So several people from the Qin family lived on the second floor, and the Luo and Zhao families lived downstairs.
Coincidentally, the room below Mr. Qin's room is exactly the room of Mrs. Zhao.
Qin Wei looked around for a while and saw that there was nothing unusual on anyone's face, so he started asking Mrs. Zhao.
"Mrs. Zhao, did you hear any strange noises last night?"
This Mrs. Zhao, probably in order to better blend into this environment, wore a gray robe and her hair was simply tied up at the back of her head with only a wooden hairpin inserted in it.
The expression on her face was peaceful, as if everything was very ordinary for her.
She folded her hands in front of her, and when she heard Qin Wei's question, she tilted her head slightly with a slight smile on her face.
"I didn't hear anything unusual last night."
Qin Wei stared at her features and she didn't look like she was lying.
The Zhao siblings standing aside looked as if they wanted to say something but hesitated.
Qin Wei just smiled and didn't say anything else. He smiled at Mrs. Zhao in a friendly manner and turned around.
Shen Yao followed her and saw her turn around. Although he didn't know what she was planning, he still followed her pace.
"Want to take a break?"
He pointed outside the yard, which was roughly towards the kitchen.
Qin Wei nodded, and the two walked outside together.
Seeing that their mother hadn't said anything from beginning to end, the Zhao siblings anxiously chased after her.
Pei Yan and Gu Chaoxi were still watching by the well when they saw Shen Yao and Qin Wei walking out of the courtyard gate over there, and there seemed to be someone following them.
It was not until the two people behind came out that I could see their faces clearly.
Zhao Zhiyan and Zhao Xiangxiang don't look very old, probably only in their teens.
Perhaps influenced by Madam Zhao, the two men also wore the gray robes worn in the temple, looking like people who came here to practice Buddhism.
"Miss Shen, please wait."
Zhao Zhiyan stepped forward quickly and blocked Qin Wei's way.
She curled the corners of her lips and slowly raised her head: "Mr. Zhao, what's wrong?"
Shen Lan and the others were driven by Qin Wei to search those rooms, using the excuse that Master Qin was dead and the murderer might be hiding there.
These people were not of humble status before they entered the ancient Anning Temple for refuge, and they valued their own safety.
Qin Wei raised his eyes and waited quietly.
Zhao Zhiyan seemed a little conflicted again, but when Zhao Xiangxiang beside him anxiously pulled his sleeve, he instantly became firm.
"In fact, Xiangxiang and I discovered something unusual last night."
"What's abnormal?" Qin Wei asked calmly without any hurry.
The Zhao siblings looked at each other, and Zhao Zhiyan then slowly spoke.
"Last night, we saw a figure passing by the window."
Perhaps because they were used to having servants serving them since childhood, the two siblings always had trouble sleeping at night after arriving at the ancient An Ning Temple.
So in order to have a good night's sleep, the two siblings changed the layout of the room, moved their beds to corresponding positions, and then drilled a small hole in the wall to make it easier for them to talk to each other.
The candles in their room are not blown out when they go to bed every day, but are left to go out naturally.
Last night, candles were also lit.
But just when I was about to fall asleep, a dark shadow flashed past the window.
Zhao Xiangxiang has been sensitive to external objects since she was a child. She noticed it immediately and called Zhao Zhiyan immediately.
The next second after she spoke, Zhao Zhiyan also saw a black shadow flash past his window.
The two siblings were so frightened that they couldn't sleep.
You know, the abbot told them not to go out at night to avoid disturbing the gods.
So they haven't encountered anything like this yet.
