Chapter 10 - Insomnia
Bai Yue’s heart laughed, a group of ignorant and backward ancient people, if in her time, not to mention the differences in the picture, or each fan has a few people’s fingerprints are clear, why should she have to trouble her brain cells so much?
This is an unexpected case, Jian Yu had planned to study it today and ask some experts to help with the investigation tomorrow, but he did not expect Bai Yue to say it so easily.
Jian Yu thought for a moment, “Go see if there are any left-handed people around Xia Fei.
It didn’t matter that it was late, Liang Meng immediately took orders and left.
Jian Yu shook the fan in his hand, raised his eyebrows, and said to Bai Yue, “If this turns out to be true, I will definitely reward you.
Bai Yue wasn’t looking forward to it, “Rewarded for what?”
For not breaking her legs?
This time, however, Jian Yu said nothing and stood up, pushing open the door to the study.
At this time, it was already late fall and early winter, a cold and piercing wind blew in, and Bai Yue shrugged her shoulders, not wanting to be rushed, and deliberately gathered up her sleeves and walked out.
By the time she got to the courtyard, the boy had already pushed open the courtyard door.
She was about to step out when Jian Yu’s voice suddenly came from behind her.
“Wait.” Jian Yu called out to her.
What kind of trouble is he looking for again, Bai Yue turned around suspiciously and turned back, only to see Jian Yu holding out a piece of clothing.
Just as she was wondering, Jian Yu shook the garment open, and it was a plush white cloak.
“It’s windy and cold at night.” Jian Yu said softly, “I still have a case to see, I won’t send you away, you go back to rest early.”
Jian Yu draped his cloak over Bai Yue’s shoulders, and also gathered the neckline together in a warm and loving way.
Bai Yue shivered in the cold and looked at Jian Yu with an inexpressible expression.
What is the reason for the sudden change?
Could it be that he was possessed by a ghost in the middle of the night?
“Alright, let’s go.” As if he didn’t know anything, Jian Yu naturally reached out and put his hand on Bai Yue’s shoulder, gently turning it.
Bai Yue turned around, and in her line of sight, a skirt quickly disappeared into the forest not far away.
This is probably Mrs. Jian’s people, who are afraid that her face and heart are not in harmony, so they sent the little girl to spy on her. It seems that during the days she was away from home, he almost slept on the street, and only now is he so cautious.
This was Bai Yue’s first night in this era, a night without sleep.
The bed was comfortable, the quilt was freshly tanned with the smell of sunshine, the house was cleaned and lit with ghostly incense, but it was all unfamiliar.
In the daytime, after all the bright and noisy past, Bai Yue calmed down, which is an incomparably real feeling, she can never go back.
Early the next morning, Bai Yue wore a pair of large dark circles under her eyes, startling the little girl who came in to serve.
“Miss.” Peiqi was shocked, “What’s wrong with you, did you not sleep well last night?”
Bai Yue sighed, one night although she did not sleep, but she finally calmed down. But the worries are not enough for outsiders to understand.
After looking in the mirror, Bai Yue was also shocked by herself and was busy waving for Peiqi to give her some instructions.
When Jian Yu brought Liang Meng over, he saw that Bai Yue was lying on a soft chair, with two pieces …… of what the hell is this attached to her eyes.
“What is this?” Jian Yu looked down and saw that there was a plate on the table with thinly sliced apple slices, and Paige was carefully picking up a piece and sticking it on her eyes.
As soon as she heard Jian Yu speak, Peiqi was startled and her hand shook, the apple slice fell off and landed on Bai Yue’s face.
Bai Yue sighed, picked it up and ate it, removing two more slices from her eyes.
Jian Yu also noticed, “Didn’t you sleep well last night?”
“No.” Bai Yue sat up straight, “I was so worried about the case that I couldn’t sleep, I was afraid that there was some kind of oversight that I couldn’t calculate and delayed things for Young Master Jian.”
Jian Yu’s expression was a bit blank, and after a moment of silence, he slowly said.
“I didn’t think that I would make you so worried about the case that you couldn’t sleep all night, I’m really flattered.”
It was all just a scene, Bai Yue was about to say a few more polite words, but he saw Liang Meng reluctantly poking his face out from behind Jian Yu.
“The one who had a hard time sleeping all night is obviously the little one, okay?” Liang Meng’s dark circles under his eyes were surprisingly similar to Bai Yue’s.
Bai Yue was startled, “What’s wrong with Liang Meng? Did you not sleep well last night either?”
It’s not uncommon to work overtime on a case, so it’s possible that he was busy all night.
Liang Meng broke his fingers and said, “The first half of the night to check the summer non-side will be Danqing ink friends, no left-handed. In the second half of the night, we checked the painting masters in the capital who have such skills, and there is no left-handed person, even if he is an outsider, as long as he has shown his skills in the capital, there is no reason not to find out.”
“There is no left-handed person.” Bai Yue gently pushed another apple on the table into Liang Meng’s hand and mused, “Left-handed, does he have to let it be known that he is a left-handed person?”
Liang Meng was stunned by this question.
Bai Yue said, “How did you ask?”
Liang Meng opened his mouth and suddenly had a bit of a heart attack “Just …… ask ah”.
Bai Yue’s expression froze for a moment, then she gently said, “It’s like this, the number of painters who know the victim and have such a craft must be limited even in the capital. If this person usually uses his left hand, without having to say anything personally, those who know him will surely be able to point it out”.
A bunch of knickknacks in her house were bought by Liang Meng yesterday, such an enthusiastic young man, she is also willing to show her gentle side.
Liang Meng nodded, “We asked last night the summer non-acquaintance of the same painter’s friends, a total of thirty-seven people, they know each other, often paintings to meet friends, so I thought that this conspicuous feature, even if he denied it, there will be companions to identify”.
Bai Yue nonchalantly hit the nail on the head.
“You scared the snakes.”
Liang Meng suddenly wanted to slap himself, carelessly.
Bai Yue said, “Most left-handed people can use their right hand skillfully, which can be seen from the killer’s imitation paintings, he used his right hand to paint landscapes and danjos equally well. So in this case, he could have completely hidden his left hand from everyone if he wanted to.”
“Right.” Liang Meng looked annoyed, “I was in too much of a hurry, thinking that a left-handed person would know at a glance and be able to find out the person right away.”
Jian Yu was very forgiving of his opponent and patted Liang Meng, “You asked all the questions and can’t swallow them back, now think about how to find out the person without the other party admitting it.
Ghostly, Liang Meng looked at Bai Yue.
Bai Yue felt a jolt, “Why are you looking at me?”
Jian Yu was also slightly dissatisfied, in the past, at times like this, Liang Meng had always looked at him with adoring eyes.
Liang Meng immediately realized that something was wrong and immediately turned his head and said, “Young master, what should we do now?”
Jian Yu’s pride was slightly soothed.
