Du Yan frowned, feeling that things were a little troublesome. The things on the desk had not been cleaned up yet. The key was that he had not finished writing the things he was going to use to win the trust of Chengyu.
There is only one line of words on the notebook at the moment, plus the opened password locker and the inkstone set aside, no matter how you look at it, it looks like a burglary scene.
I don't know if Cheng Yu will come in later, and will he immediately order the whole process to search for this little thief who dared to break into the Overseer's study.
While thinking about the future response, Du Yan waited for Cheng Yu's arrival.
What I didn't expect was that after dawn, Du Yan didn't wait for Cheng Yu, and it was the cleaning servant who pushed in the door.
The servant cleaned the outer room first, and then entered the inner room. When they saw the situation on the desk, the two were stunned, and the cleaning tools in their hands almost fell to the ground without being frightened.
"You, take a look over there, has the locker been opened?"
One of them took two steps forward, stood on tiptoe to have a look, and then backed away with a sad face.
"It's over, it's over, whoever dared to turn over the Overseer's desk, we're completely over."
No matter how scared the two servants were, they could only choose to go out and tell the housekeeper.
Not long after, the housekeeper and the security captain who stayed in the mansion rushed over.
Both of them are people who have been with Cheng Yu for a long time. Knowing Cheng Yu's behavior, they directly blocked the interior and did not enter without authorization.
The housekeeper stood outside and looked at the situation inside, and his expression was a little unsightly.
After thinking about it, he said to the captain of the guard: "I still have to find someone to notify the Overseer."
The captain of the defense is a member of the army. He shook his head and said, "You know what the Overseer does. He won't bring back important official business, and no property has been stolen outside. It seems that there are important people coming over from the Overseer's mansion today, because this To disturb the Overseer with something small, I'm afraid..."
The housekeeper is the servant of the married family. He almost watched Cheng Yu growing up, so he naturally knows more about Cheng Yu.
Seeing that the captain of the security team was puzzled, he explained: "The things in that locker are more important to the young master than anything in the entire mansion."
The butler looked serious and continued: "I suggest you send someone to the Overseer's Mansion as soon as possible, otherwise the young master will know that this matter has not been reported in time, and we will all be unable to eat and walk around."
Upon seeing this, the captain of the defense no longer hesitated, nodding and saying, "I'll go to the Overseer's Mansion now."
After the captain of the guard left, the housekeeper did not leave, but took someone to guard the outside, and the whole mansion was in a turbulent atmosphere.
Du Yan, who caused this incident, stayed in the picture scroll a little bit dumbfounded.
He only thought about Chengyu later, wouldn't it really be like what he thought, he searched the whole city again and made a lot of noise.
At this moment, Du Yan remembered one thing. When he was sucked into the scroll, he seemed to be holding the brush in his hand. He swept the desk and the surrounding ground, but didn't find the brush.
Could it be that the brush was brought into the scroll by himself
It's a pity that Du Yan is only conscious now and has no feeling at all, even if he holds a brush in his hand, he can't feel it.
If you can really bring things into the picture, with Chengyu's meticulousness, you will definitely find clues, and things will be much easier then.
About an hour later, Cheng Yu pushed open the door and entered.
"Cheng Bo, what's going on?"
The housekeeper got up and told Chengyu what happened before.
After Cheng Yu heard this, her already unattractive face became gloomy.
He said directly to the adjutant behind him: "Go and ask the person on duty yesterday, how was the situation last night, and he actually let him break into the study?"
The adjutant led the way, while Cheng Yu entered the inner room and stopped in front of the desk.
Cheng Yu saw the notebook spread out on the desktop at a glance, and his face became more and more ugly.
The things recorded in these notebooks are the softest place in Cheng Yu's heart, and he was suddenly turned over like this, which made him have the urge to kill.
From Du Yan's point of view, it can be seen that Cheng Yu's shoulders and back are tightly tensed, and he seems to be barely controlling his impending rage.
Fortunately, Cheng Yu had been in a high position for a long time after all, and had extremely strong control. He stood there and took a few deep breaths to calm down.
Cheng Yu reached out and picked up the notebook, but found that there was an extra line of writing after his last diary entry.
I am son Yan.
Cheng Yu's expression changed slightly, is this sentence answering the last question in his diary
He thought for a moment and said, "You go out first."
The housekeeper took everyone out of the study, while Cheng Yu sat down and studied the words for a long time.
This line of words that suddenly appeared in the diary, others may think that this is to make fun of himself, but Cheng Yu became suspicious.
Cheng Yu is a person who is almost unforgettable and has strong observation skills, but when he sees the handwriting that he has seen, he can recognize it at a glance.
The handwriting in front of this line is very familiar.
Cheng Yu pondered for a long time, and finally remembered that he had seen the same handwriting somewhere.
The married family is a big family, and many things have been passed down for unknown generations. There is even a huge library on the clan side, storing many precious ancient books.
Cheng Yu was the one that he saw in the library. Because it was so old, it was so dilapidated that it was almost impossible to know the complete contents. He could only know that it was related to the ritual of sacrificing heaven.
However, Cheng Yu remembered the barely recognizable handwriting, which was clearly the same as the handwriting that appeared mysteriously in this line.
"Young Master Yan..."
Cheng Yu spit out these three words, but felt a familiar and lingering feeling welling up from the bottom of her heart, as if she had called someone thousands of times.
He closed the notebook, looked up and saw the inkstone on the desk and the vacant space on the pen holder.
On the pen holder, there is a wolf pen missing.
Cheng Yu looked around, but found that the wolf brush had fallen under the picture scroll brought out from the tomb.
He was stunned for a moment. The scroll was placed in the innermost position of the study, some distance from the desk and not near the window.
How did this amount fall in this place
Cheng Yu picked up the brush, and then looked up at the picture carefully.
With just one glance, Cheng Yu's expression changed drastically.
How is this going! Cheng Yu looked at the scroll every day, remembering every detail of the people in the painting, even every fold on the clothes.
Now the clothes of the people in the painting have changed. On her sleeve, a line of ink dots appeared, judging from the shape, it looked like a brush fell on it and then rolled down.
Cheng Yu looked at the brush that fell under the scroll, and fell into contemplation.
He has a certain degree of research on ancient paintings. There is a big difference between old ink marks and newly dyed ink marks.
The ink marks on the sleeves of the man in the painting are long-lasting, and they were not painted on by someone last night. Instead, it seems to have been stained on the sleeves, and then drawn into the painting.
Cheng Yu suddenly remembered the somewhat fragrant but terrifyingly real dream last night. He stared at the scroll for a while, and finally said something in a low voice.
"is it you?"
Cheng Yu stayed in the study for a whole hour, and after a careful search, he couldn't find any trace of someone sneaking in, which made him even more puzzled.
At this time, the adjutant just came back to resume his life.
Cheng Yu asked, "How is it?"
The adjutant said: "The subordinate asked the people who were on guard and patrolling yesterday, but they found nothing out of the ordinary, and the confessions were all correct. According to the analysis of the tree, it is almost impossible to sneak in from the outside. Maybe you can consider the possibility of internal thieves. don't want?"
The adjutant didn't finish his words, but the expression on his face expressed his meaning.
Cheng Yu waved his hand and said, "No need for now."
After the adjutant left, Cheng Yu called the housekeeper over again.
He said to the housekeeper, "Uncle Cheng, can I trouble you to help me with something?"
The housekeeper nodded and said, "Young master, whatever you tell me."
Cheng Yu raised his hand and handed a letter he had just written on the table to the housekeeper, and said, "please go to the clan to help me get something and bring the letter to my uncle, he knows."
After everything was explained, Cheng Yu sat alone at the desk for a long time.
When night fell, Cheng Yu picked up the pen and started writing in the diary.
Du Yan, who was in the painting, was very concerned about what Cheng Yu wrote, but from Du Yan's point of view, he couldn't see the diary at all.
He always felt that Cheng Yu seemed to be deliberately blocking, so that he could not see any words.
Du Yan worked in vain for a moment, and decided to give up, he could always see it anyway. The reason is very simple. When Cheng Yu locked the diary back, he did not change the password at all.
However, for the next few days, Du Yan could not come out of the picture scroll.
In his heart, he wondered, could it be because of the rules of the world, because he exposed his identity on the diary without authorization, so he could no longer get out of the picture scroll in this way.
The weirder thing is that no one has been in the study since that day, including Cheng Yu.
It was not until three days later that Cheng Yu appeared in the study again. He still did not enter the inner room, but met the housekeeper who had rushed back from his hometown in the outer room.
Although Du Yan couldn't see Cheng Yu's face from that angle, his conversation with the housekeeper completely answered his doubts over the past few days.
After the butler handed the sandalwood box in his hand to Cheng Yu, he said worriedly, "Master, you don't look very good."
Cheng Yu seemed to be in a hurry to look at the contents in the box, a little perfunctory: "It's okay."
After all, the housekeeper watched Cheng Yu grow up, and he was not as afraid of Cheng Yu as others. He continued to persuade: "I heard from the people below that you haven't had a good rest these days, and have been standing outside the study trying to catch that little thief?"
Hearing this, Du Yan suddenly realized. No wonder he hadn't been able to get out of the painting these days. It turned out that Cheng Yu didn't sleep well at all.
If you don't sleep well, you won't be able to dream. If you don't dream, Du Yan will naturally be unable to get out.
He only felt that it was a bit ridiculous, the current situation of the two was really comparable to the Cowherd and Weaver Girl, no, maybe even worse than the Cowherd and Weaver Girl.
It's better to let Cheng Yu confirm his existence right now, otherwise, Cheng Yu will have to force himself out of a neuropathy.
Fortunately, the housekeeper was very reliable. Under his persuasion, Cheng Yu finally agreed to go back to the room to have a good rest, but when he left, he took the diary out of the locker and took it away.
That night, Du Yan finally came out of the scroll.
He didn't delay too much, and went straight to the next door.
The diary is placed beside Cheng Yu's pillow, which is convenient for Du Yan.
He put one hand on Cheng Yu's hand, and turned over the diary with the other.
Seeing Cheng Yu staying on top, Du Yan was slightly taken aback.
"Young Master Yan? But in my dream, you are the eldest princess Yan."
"… "
Du Yan was silent for a moment, then picked up the pen he brought from the study and started writing.
"If you continue to dream of marrying the eldest princess, you will know that I am Young Master Yan. If you want to solve the doubts in your heart, don't stay outside the study every day..."
Du Yan did not directly tell Cheng Yu that he could come out of the painting by dreaming, because the human subconscious is very strange. If Cheng Yu deliberately wanted to dream of Du Yan, he would not be able to do so.
In order to prevent such accidents from happening, Du Yan decided to take every step and be careful.
