Chapter 283 - 283: Ward round (1)
All the furniture in the room was covered with white dust-proof cloth. The arrival of the two seemed to wake up the silence in the room.
The floor-to-ceiling curtains in the distance blocked the sunlight from the outside, but with song Qing’s small eyesight, he could still see the room clearly.
As Zhou ye had said, the house was very big. Even if the furniture was blocked, it could be seen that the owner had spent a lot of money on the renovation.
The tiles on the ground were covered with a thin layer of dust, but they could still see the shadows of people.
A winding staircase led straight to the second floor. The exquisitely carved railings were expensive. If it wasn’t for the accident that happened in the house, based on the location, the size, and decoration of the house, four million Yuan would definitely not have fallen into his hands.
“Song…”
As soon as Zhou ye spoke, his voice echoed in the empty room. The ceiling of the room was extremely high and a beautiful crystal lamp hung from the top. With the help of the faint light from the door, the corners of the crystal reflected a faint light.
The curtains above had also been drawn. The room was dark and quiet, and Zhou ye’s echo seemed a little abrupt and strange.
Even he himself felt a little frightened when he heard this, so he quickly shut his mouth.
There was a light screen on the wall at the door. The moment the door was opened by the sensor, the light screen lit up. He found the switch to open the curtains and pressed it. With a ‘ka ka’ sound, the curtains moved to the sides. A large amount of sunlight shone through the large windows above and the floor-to-ceiling windows on the first floor, shining into the room and driving away the darkness in the room.
Outside the floor-to-ceiling glass window, a few stray cats of different colors that lived here instinctively turned their heads the moment they sensed the curtains in the house open.
When the pairs of round cat eyes saw the people in the room through the glass, they all stood up in shock. They opened their mouths and probably made a sound.
However, the sound insulation of the room was very good. When the two of them stood at the door, they did not hear a single meow. The cats were like silent animations as they walked around the glass, but only their breathing could be heard in the room.
This kind of silence made Zhou ye feel a little uncomfortable. Modern people didn’t like noisy environments. Xunmi’s residence was mostly quiet, but at this time, Zhou ye felt that this place was a little too quiet. It was so quiet that it made his hair stand on end and his heart was beating wildly.
The air in the room was very stuffy, so he simply pulled the glass door wider so that the air outside could blow in and blow away the air inside.
The roses outside bloomed very well, and the fragrance of the flowers poured into the room, filling the room with a sweet yet not sweet smell.
“Miss song, I’ll show you around.”
Perhaps it was because of song Qing’s calmness and her deft skills in catching the stray cat, Zhou ye’s originally uneasy heart was now at ease.
He rubbed his nose and entered the house with song qingxiao following closely behind.
The sound of footsteps and breathing could be heard in the room. Compared to the previously terrifyingly quiet atmosphere, it was suddenly much better. Zhou ye’s expression was more relaxed than before.
The living room of this house was extremely large, and because of the tall design, the space was even more open and Grand. There were two rooms, two toilets, and a kitchen downstairs, all decorated in an elegant and grand manner.
When Zhou ye pushed open the glass door of the kitchen, outside the kitchen window, a few stray cats were frightened and ran away. In a short while, they had all scattered.
There were some new pots inside, some of which had not even been taken apart.
it might not be here all year round. I’ll call the animal control Bureau later to deal with it.
The Empire had a Department in charge of catching these stray animals. After catching them, they would wait for kind-hearted people to adopt them.
The capital was very strict in this area. Zhou ye was curious as to why there were so many stray cats gathered here. After he said this, he saw that song qingxiao didn’t seem to be unhappy, so he heaved a sigh of relief.
This was the first time Zhou ye had come to this house. After looking at the first floor, the two of them went up to the second floor.
From the layout of the house, the original owner, Ms. Sun, should have set the first floor as the children’s residence, the second floor as the master bedroom, and the third floor as a sunny glass room for the family to work and entertainment.
There were only two suites on the second floor, and each suite was fully equipped with facilities. One was for Madam sun and her husband, and the other was for the old lady who was said to have died an unnatural death.
Madam sun’s room did not attract Zhou ye’s attention. The room was very large and every piece of furniture and decoration seemed to have been carefully designed by a famous designer.
After the thick curtains were opened, only a layer of white light-blocking gauze was left to block the glaring sunlight, making the light in the room very bright and soft.
The changing room and washroom were all available, but everything had been moved away, making it look like a gorgeous sample room.
After coming out of the master bedroom, she arrived at the door of another room.
Everything in the house was controlled by a smart system. After Zhou ye unlocked the door with the electronic key in his hand, the door made a ‘ka’ sound. This sound made Zhou ye raise his eyebrows in surprise in the quiet space.
He didn’t know if it was a psychological effect, but he knew from the start that this room was the place where the old lady had committed suicide, so when he reached out to push the door open, his hand hesitated for a moment, and it was still a little stiff and trembling.
The door was made of pure wood and was extremely heavy. When it was pushed open, the chain made a slight sound, but in this place so quiet that a pin drop could be heard, the sound was amplified several times.
As soon as the door was pushed open, a gust of cold air blew in, causing Zhou ye to shiver.
Song qingxiao’s face was white, so white that it was abnormal.
Previously, she had seen that whether it was the living room or the bedroom, the walls and other colors used by Madam sun were similar to light-colored warm colors. If there was no visual comparison, it would be difficult for ordinary people to distinguish it at first glance.
However, this room was different. It was clearly much newer than the other rooms!
The walls and ceiling were all pure white, so white that it was a little glaring. It was obvious that someone had redecorated it after the ‘incident’.
Perhaps it was because he wanted to cover up what had happened here too much, but it made the room seem even more eye-catching.
This room was about the same size as the previous master bedroom. It also had a large bed, and the floor-to-ceiling windows were covered with a white cloth.
However, due to the decorations in the house, when the sun shone through the White gauze, it gave a piercing feeling. It was so white that it was almost blinding.
Because the entire room was white, the large yellow spots on the White gauze were particularly eye-catching. Song Qing suddenly remembered what Zhou ye said in the car:
“.. There are always traces of blood in the room, and it can’t be completely removed…”
These light yellow stains should be the marks left behind by the old lady when she committed suicide.
Zhou ye also saw this thing for the first time. He instinctively turned his head away and felt as if his throat was being choked by someone. It was a bit dry.
“Cough, cough cough.” The room was very clean, but he felt that it was not very clean. Even the air that he breathed in made him very uncomfortable.
It was Midsummer outside, and the air conditioner was not on in the house. Even if the temperature was low because it had been empty all year round, he felt that this place was too cold.
A cold chill seeped into his body from the floor through the soles of his shoes, making him extremely uncomfortable.
“How is it?”
He coughed a few times before he managed to squeeze out a sentence. After asking, he felt a little embarrassed, so he added,”
“Miss song, what do you think?”
“It’s alright.”
Song qingxiao nodded.
Compared to Zhou ye’s unnatural expression after his spirit was suppressed, song qingxiao was much calmer..
