Chapter 405 Where the Fish Lady Lives

Song Shiyun and Xie Rugu followed the housekeeper to the west courtyard wall.

"This is the wall that Lao Zhangtou said." The housekeeper led them to a stop in front of the courtyard wall and pointed to the wall.

Li Hong asked subconsciously: "Who is Lao Zhangtou?"

The housekeeper introduced: "Old Zhangtou is the concierge who looked after the back door of our Jia family before. Didn't you hear Mr. Liu say that?"

The housekeeper looked at them suspiciously
It feels like these masters don’t know much.

When Li Hong heard this, he suddenly said, "Oh."

"This wall doesn't look like anything special."

While Li Hong was talking to Butler Jia, Bai Qianli and Zhang Qianyun had already passed by and were inspecting the wall.

The faces of the two people were almost touching the wall.

But looking at it, it doesn't seem to be anything special.

When Butler Jia heard this, he said with a smile: "That's natural. This is just an ordinary courtyard wall. How can there be any problem? I think what Lao Zhangtou said is an exaggeration. Since the Jia family's house was built, , this wall has been here for more than 20 years, and I have never heard of it before. If there is any problem, it must be the old man who is confused and talks casually."

Song Shiyun glanced at the housekeeper.

He spoke calmly, as if he really didn't believe what Lao Zhangtou said.

Song Shiyun thought about this and asked, "Did Butler Jia just say that this wall has been here since the house was built, and it has never been repaired during this time?"

Jia Guanjia said: "Of course not. Our Jia family's house used particularly good materials in the early stages of construction and has basically not been repaired."

Song Shiyun narrowed his eyes, "So, have there been any changes to this wall over the years? For example, what was buried or what was added?"

Butler Jia thought for a while and shook his head: "No, even these flowers, plants and trees were selected and planted here by the master himself in the early stages of construction. Over the years, apart from daily pruning, nothing has been modified."

When Song Shiyun heard this, he nodded slightly and said nothing more.

She turned to look at Bai Qianli and Zhang Qianyun.

Xie Rugu had been staring at Bai Qianli and Zhang Qianyun. He turned his head and glanced at Song Shiyun. He whispered: "They didn't seem to see anything special."

Song Shiyun hummed in a low voice. Standing here, she didn't notice anything special.

This is very strange.

Song Shiyun hesitated for a moment, then walked over.

Seeing this, Xie Ru followed him.

Song Shiyun and Xie Rugu walked to the wall together.

Li Hong saw them coming and asked, "Junior sister, can you see if there is anything wrong with this? I don't see anything."

Song Shiyun approached the wall and put his hand on the wall.

I didn't feel any strange aura.

Looking at the red paint on the wall, it is also a normal red paint, nothing special.

Bai Qianli and Zhang Qianyun had stopped at this time.

The two people watched Song Shiyun's actions.

Bai Qianli was the first to ask: "Little junior sister, do you see any problems?"

Zhang Qianyun added: "I don't think there is any problem."

Song Shiyun took back his hand and frowned. He didn't say anything directly, but looked at the housekeeper.

The housekeeper caught Song Shiyun's gaze and asked first, "Everyone, have you discovered anything? Is there anything wrong with this wall?"

Song Shiyun did not answer, but said, "I wonder if you can take us out to see the outer wall?"

The butler paused and asked, "Any more questions?"

Song Shiyun said vaguely: "Let's talk about it after seeing the outer wall."

The butler frowned, seemingly reluctant.

But thinking of Jia Yunping's instructions and the fact that these were noble people from the capital, the housekeeper nodded: "Okay, then everyone, follow me."

The butler made a gesture of invitation.

Song Shiyun and Xie Ru followed without thinking.

Li Hong, Bai Qianli and Zhang Qianyun looked at each other, confused.

Bai Qianli couldn't help but ask in a low voice: "Senior Brother, what do you mean, Junior Sister?"

Li Hong didn't know, he could only say: "Follow me first and take a look before talking."

Bai Qianli and Zhang Qianyun didn't know what to say.The group of people could only follow them first.

This wall of Jia's house is the last wall of the outer courtyard.

Outside the wall, there is an alleyway, and further to the side, there is a residential area.

Although it's not far from Jia's house there, the buildings are a lot cheaper.

And there is where Lady Fish lived before.

Although it is much better than where Cao Yuanhan's family lives, there is still a big gap compared with Jia's family.

The housekeeper took Song Shiyun and others to the front of the alley and said, "This is the outer wall."

The outer wall is plainer than the inside. In addition, the alley is narrow and there are no flowers or trees planted. It looks like an extremely ordinary wall.

Hearing the housekeeper's words, Li Hong and others looked around, then approached the wall together again to check.

Song Shiyun, who had suggested coming to inspect the outer wall, was standing there without moving.

She looked at the residential area to the side and behind, pointed at it, and asked, "Did Mrs. Fish live there before?"

The housekeeper knew about this, so he nodded: "I heard it seems so."

Song Shiyun didn't say anything, but walked quickly towards the residential area.

There is a fork in the alley. Walking through it, there are a row of small yards on both sides.

Xie Ru followed Song Shiyun as usual, "Second sister, do you want to visit Mrs. Yu's house?"

Song Shiyun hummed.

When the housekeeper saw them going that way, he felt a little confused, but he still followed him, "Where are you two going?"

When Song Shiyun heard this, he looked back at him and asked, "Which courtyard is Madam Yu's house in?"

The housekeeper paused, looked around, and pointed to the yard in front of him, "It seems to be the second yard in this row."

Song Shiyun walked up to the door of the courtyard and looked at the big lock hanging on it. She had no intention of going in.

Standing at the entrance of the courtyard, she turned her head and looked towards the wall.

From her position, she could see that the section of wall facing the fork in the road was only about one or two meters wide.

After confirming that the wall of Jia's house could be seen from this position, Song Shiyun walked back without saying anything.

Butler Jia followed Song Shiyun and Xie Rugu suspiciously, feeling a little confused.

I had no idea what Song Shiyun was going to do when he came here.

"Junior sister, there is still no problem with this wall." Li Hong and others had already checked the situation. When Song Shiyun came back, he said with a sad face.

After Song Shiyun heard this, he walked straight towards the wall at the fork in the road.

She reached out and touched the wall, and then knocked on it, but she didn't notice any problem.

She took a few steps back and looked inside.

Apart from the shadows of some trees, nothing else could be seen.

"Little junior sister, are you looking at the shadows of the trees inside?" Bai Qianli noticed Song Shiyun's actions, "There are many treetops peeking out. Just now we were thinking about what Mrs. Yu saw before. Maybe it was the shadow of the tree. It was the middle of the night, and she was frightened. In a daze, she saw the shadow of the tree wrong, but it was not impossible."

When Butler Jia heard this, he immediately took a step forward, "To be honest, everyone, our master thought so from the beginning, otherwise it would just be a wall, what could be so special about it? You know, it must be their eyesight. I read it wrong."

Li Hong said nothing.

To be honest, up to now, after checking the inner and outer walls, there are no problems.

Li Hong also felt that maybe it was a mistake.

"Did you detect any Yin Qi in the yard just now?" Song Shiyun looked at Zhang Qianyun. He was holding the Bagua compass in his hand and was looking for Yin Qi.

Hearing this, Zhang Qianyun shook his head and said, "No, the compass didn't respond when we were in the yard just now."

Song Shiyun frowned.

The compass in Zhang Qianyun's hand can be regarded as a classic treasure in the Tiansi Bureau.

Although it is not a precious magic weapon, it still flows out from the Tianji Gate.

Song Shiyun knew that it was blessed by the Yin-Seeking Talisman.

If there was Yin Qi around her, even if she didn't feel it, the compass in Zhang Qianyun's hand would probably react.

Now, she didn't feel any special aura, and the compass didn't respond.

Then, there is a high probability that there is no evil in the Jia family.
