Chapter 1,233
The running sound of the guard entered the main courtyard, and it was particularly clear in the middle of the night when meeting someone with obvious hearing like Ling Yu.
Ever since Ling Yu cultivated her spiritual power and took Lan Huijuan's pill, her senses were even stronger than before.
After listening for a while, she judged that the guard had entered Prince Rong's study, and there were two people in the room. Her footsteps were heavy and light.
The guard stopped, as if to report that Ling Yu could hear the voices, but her ability was not enough to hear what they were saying.
The three of them didn't talk for long, and the three people in the study walked out together with the guards.
The steps were very hurried, as if there was something urgent to do.
Ling Yu was not in a hurry and continued to listen patiently and count the number of people.
After the people in the study came out, there was no sound in the study.
There were the footsteps of two guards outside. Following the people in the study, they walked into the courtyard. After saying a few words, the people in the study walked out of the courtyard, and the two guards in the courtyard walked away, one on the left and the other on the right.
Ling Yu looked up and saw a total of four people leaving, taking away the four guards patrolling the door.
She listened patiently again. Now, in addition to the two guards at the door, there were also two in the courtyard, making a total of four.
She calculated the time and the pattern of guard patrols in her mind, and found that the guards in the courtyard made a circle for five minutes, and the guards outside the door made a circle for ten minutes.
The habit of both teams is to meet at the door, stand and chat for a few minutes, and then continue patrolling.
Ling Yu smiled after figuring out the pattern. This set of modern special forces investigation methods will be taught to Xiao Lintian someday, and he will definitely be able to use it in the future.
Ling Yu quickly tied up her sleeves and trousers, wrapped her hair, and waited for their next round of inspections to begin, so that she could sneak into the study in time for them.
The four guards first patrolled to the door, followed by the guards in the courtyard. After a few minutes of delay, the guards patrolling outside the courtyard arrived at the door. They also talked for a few minutes and then dispersed to patrol.
That's it!
Ling Yu trotted to the door quickly. Her shoes had been wrapped in sound-absorbing cotton. Unless someone lay on the ground and listened like she did just now, no one would notice that she ran into the courtyard.
As soon as Ling Yu entered the door, without any delay, she rushed to the study door, opened the door gently and went in.
As soon as the door was closed, the guards patrolling the courtyard returned to the study.
Ling Yu held her breath. She ran around, panting, and her heartbeat was fast. She was silent for a while, then breathed out silently and evenly breathed.
Two guards were standing in front of the study, and they started chatting: "Prince Rong ran out so late, he won't be back tonight, will he?"
Another guard said: "You shouldn't be back before Yinshi!"
"Then it's the same old rules, you patrol, I'll take a nap to replace you!"
The guard winked and smiled, and with the consent of his companion, he walked back and forth.
Ling Yu stood up after hearing that the other guard had also left.
The room was dark, so she took out a small flashlight from the space, dimmed the light, and began to search the study while listening to the footsteps.
There were some books stacked on the desk. Ling Yu took a look at them and found that they were all gift lists sent by guests in the past two days, as well as some expense accounts of the mansion.
He Rong would not store important things in obvious places.
Ling Yu looked at the bookshelf again. There were some books on the bookshelf, but there were no signs that they had been turned over at all.
Ling Yu walked around the study and saw a door connecting the bedroom. She walked over and checked it, but found nothing.
Ling Yu was surprised. There was nothing important in He Rong's study, so why was it so tightly guarded?
Is there anything else that I have overlooked?
