There were wooden door frames with upside-down lintels on the left and right sides. Li Gui picked the two unclothed coffins on the right and got through the middle.

In front, there are several windows covered with oil paper.

There are some potted plants and porcelain against the mottled black wall. There are lampstands erected around it. There are fallen barriers and tea cups on the ground. The yellow sand and grass under the mud bricks have also seeped in.

There were splatters of blood on top of some cabinets for some reason, which looked extremely horrifying.

"There are a lot of roads in this house."

After passing between the two coffins and arriving behind the door curtain, Li Gui felt sad and didn't know where to start his investigation.

Behind the main house, there are doors on the left and right, and there is a tight room in front of it. They are all unlocked, perhaps because they were forcibly opened by some friendly villagers who raided the room.

"Let's look at each one."

Anyway, he currently has no clue about his mother-in-law, Ye Xiaoxuan. After analyzing it for a long time, he finally got it wrong.

Li Guixian walked to the door of the room directly in front and tried to push the closed door open with his hands.

"Locked?"

But the strange thing is that there is no padlock outside the room, so Li Gui pushed the door hard, but there was no response.

The entire closed door panel seems to be integrated with the surrounding space, motionless.

"There is no gap here. Otherwise, we can try to see if the ghost-killing sword can pry it open."

Li Gui stood at the door and looked inside curiously.

The left and right door leaves are covered with oil paper on the panes, but it is very thin, and most of them have become withered and rotten due to time.

The flashlight light shines inward, and everything in the room can be clearly seen.

The room is large and luxuriously furnished.

Directly opposite the door is a desk. On top of the desk, in addition to oil lamps and a statue of Guanyin, there are also some strange black earthen jars and porcelain bowls.

Next to it is a bookshelf and cabinet. There are a lot of porcelain, calligraphy and paintings on the bookshelf. Opposite the bookshelf is a wooden bed with a curtain.

There were many old wooden toys scattered on the floor of the entire house.

There is also a small wooden frame at the door, with a golden iron basin placed on it. The eaves above the iron basin seem to be leaking, and water is constantly dripping downwards. The basin is already pitch black.

"It looks like it's not the house where Ye Xiaoxuan lives."

According to Li Gui's understanding of the elders of the Ye family, when the patriarchal mentality was so serious, the girl would not be placed in such an outside room with so many children's props for play.

In addition, those medicine jars and porcelain bowls look like the tuberculosis grandson described by the paper people who represent the neighbors and folks.

"Cough~cough~"

As if to confirm Li Gui's conjecture, a faint coughing boy's voice came from the darkness behind the bed curtain.

As the flashlight shined through, there seemed to be a thin figure hunched over the bed, covering his mouth with his hand, under the thin silk.

"My beloved grandson has developed lung disease. Did the two old people in the Ye family mansion invite some strange people?"

Without thinking about breaking in by force, Li Gui took out the flashlight and left the wooden door of the room amidst the boy's coughing sound.

There are many types of lung diseases, but most lung diseases are very troublesome to treat in modern times, let alone 40 years ago.

It is conceivable that at that time, when the grandson of the Ye family got this kind of lung disease, it was like a death sentence.

This can be seen from the large and small medicine jars scattered around the room.

The usual way to find a doctor is no longer available, so the two old people of the Ye family will consider other methods.

Is the Granny Mei that the servants mentioned had something to do with their grandson's lung disease?

Chapter 232 Granny Mei

Li Gui was not sure. After all, the truth behind the extermination of the Ye family mansion was not the focus of his investigation. His main task now was to find the location where Ye Xiaoxuan hanged herself.

"It's possible that the room in the cabinet is. If there is no immediate family relationship and there is a close relationship, the guest room may not be accurate."

Regarding Ye Xiaoxuan's personal information, there is no detailed description in the case records, and it is impossible to determine what relationship she has with the Ye family mansion.

Li Gui's speculation was not very credible without any information. Just in case, he still wanted to check all the houses.

Adopting the principle of being near, he didn't linger for too long and directly opened the wooden door of the corridor on the right, which was closer to him.

There was a sharp crunching sound, sawdust fluttering, and Li Gui, who came to the corridor on the right, saw the scene in front of him, his expression became even more troubled.

"Why...why are there so many rooms?"

In the corridor, there are two more doors.

Facing him was a wooden door. The window on the door was covered with oil paper so thick that it was difficult to see what was inside. There was also a white paper lantern hanging above the door, which swayed from time to time.

There is another door at the end of the corridor, and the window is covered with red oil paper, and a large piece of it is rotten.

There was a fallen lamppost at the door, and a blue shabby robe on the ground.

Li Gui felt that he was not a roadie, but facing all the doors in the dark environment, it was extremely difficult to search them.

And he didn't know if it was because of the heavy rain outside, but he always felt that the whole mansion was getting colder and damper.

It seemed as if something was vaguely awakening.

I looked up at the top of my head. There were still countless wooden grids and tattered thick oil paper. I couldn't see anything that could be consistent with hanging myself.

"It's better to adopt the principle of proximity."

Anyway, he had to look at each one in turn. After investigating these two rooms, he had to go back.

This time the room in front of me was unlocked.

The old wooden shaft still rotates. It is the first time Li Gui has entered the main house since he entered it.

The first thing he did upon arriving was to look up at the ceiling of the room.

"Only some wooden boards were put up around the beams, and most of the wooden pillars were exposed. Although they were somewhat rotten, they could fully bear the weight of a normal person. It satisfied the conditions for committing suicide."

The conditions for suicide are met, which means that this room may be the place where Ye Xiaoxuan committed suicide. Li Gui did not leave immediately.

He closed the door behind him and stepped inside.

The layout of the room is simpler than that of the bedroom in the living room.

Not bad though.

Directly opposite the door is a bookshelf, which is empty except for a crooked wooden figure.

Next to the bookshelf is a heavy wardrobe, and between the two, there is a candlestick covered with a lampshade.Opposite the wardrobe and to the right of the door, there is a washstand and desk.

On the innermost side of these pieces of furniture is the bed for people to rest on.

The house is about thirty square meters and has no windows. There is not much furniture, so it looks very empty.

"Why are these little people entangled with red warp threads?"

Holding the ghost-killing knife, Li Gui first put the flashlight on the bookshelf, then took the crooked little man in his hand and observed it carefully.

The wooden figure is exquisitely carved, sitting in a meditative posture with its eyes closed.

It's just that there are a lot of red meridians wrapped around the body, and there are also some black ink dots, but they are not acupuncture points, and it looks extremely weird.

"In this house, the two old men of the Ye family can't invite the goddess to treat their grandson."

Looking at the back again, Li Gui found that the little man's feet were tied with a piece of oil paper with red lines.

Stacked several layers and placed under the villain’s buttocks.

No wonder this little man placed on the bookshelf is completely tilted.

"Naoyanghua, Hongshengdan...is this a prescription?"

Li Gui took off the oil paper, opened it, and put the villain back. Li Gui found that several Chinese medicine ingredients were written on the paper.

He did not have a deep understanding of Chinese medicine, but he knew that a few of the medicines, if used together, could cause death or coma.

"According to the information found by Wang Dingfeng, Ye Mengliu, the eldest daughter of the Ye family at that time, poisoned everyone in the Ye family to death. Is this her room?"

At the bottom of the pharmacy, Li Huihui found a line of notes.

After taking it, take the Yinnu's heart, boil it, and eat it, all diseases can be cured.

"The layout doesn't look like a woman's cabinet, and I didn't see any men's supplies. It's probably not the room of Mr. and Mrs. Ye Mengliu."

Li Gui had always scorned the rumors that steamed buns with similar human blood could cure diseases.

However, it is difficult to guarantee that the two elders of the Ye family at that time would not believe it.

"Then I guess this prescription is for this Yin woman, but I don't know if this so-called Yin woman is in the Ye family mansion."

Putting the prescription back, Li Gui walked to the side, the red wardrobe.

Use the Demon Slayer Sword, insert it, pull it out, and open it.

Inside the wardrobe, there were several long dresses worn by women, and some things used by gods and ghosts to deceive people were placed above.

"The compass, the talisman, the bell, she is really a goddess."

He pursed his lips. As an inheritor of modern medicine, Li Huihuan really didn't believe that these things could be used to cure diseases.

They probably just defrauded the two elderly people of the Ye family out of their money. This may also explain why the distant and remote Sister Gu appeared in the east wing.

"This house probably lives in the person the servants call Granny Mei."

Without these messy gadgets, it doesn't look like they can help him conquer demons.

Li Gui took out the gown again, but as soon as he took out the hanging clothes, his expression froze.

I saw a huge talisman drawn with blood on the back of the wardrobe, covered by clothes, for some unknown reason.

"What on earth is this goddess doing?"

After stuffing the clothes back again, Li Gui looked around and couldn't understand it. In the end, he could only take a photo of the talisman painted with blood.

"We'll check when we get back and everything is fine."

After touching his clothes and finding nothing, Li Gui closed the closet door and came to the innermost bed.

On the bed, the blue moist quilt and pillows were a little black, and something was covered inside. It was bulging, as if there was a person lying on it, hiding inside.

"It can't be a corpse that we didn't have time to dispose of."

Thinking of the four empty coffins at the gate, Li Gui used the ghost-killing knife to pick up a corner of the quilt and opened it with a wary expression.

But it turned out that he was wrong. There was nothing inside the quilt, just a slender pillow.

"Why does a bed have two pillows? Pillows were also popular among people at that time?"

A little curious, Li Gui took the long pillow in his hand and looked around. Among the exposed cotton wool, Li Gui really found something wrong.

"Thankfully I observed carefully."

Pulling out a corner of white paper hidden in the pillow's cotton wool, Li Gui put the flashlight on the table next to him, then out of the corner of his eye, opened it with one hand.

When he saw the first sentence above, he froze.

Chapter 233 Follow me like a shadow

"Is this a letter from Yin Mengyi to her mother?"

After a quick glance or two, most of what was written on the paper was Yin Mengyi's longing for her mother.

Judging from the writing and ink that is almost erased by time, it should have been born earlier than the letter in the west wing.

At the bottom of the oil paper, there is an old wooden hairpin, with only one word engraved on the back.

Yin.

"No wonder, it makes sense."

Putting the hairpin and wax paper on his body, Li Gui looked at the wooden table on the other side with a flashlight.

The so-called goddess who can cure lung diseases is the mother of the girl who was bought back by Ye Jiaqiang, held a ghost marriage and buried alive.
