Chapter 1012 She Found Something Incredible
When she went up, she saw that the balcony and the living room were only separated by a glass door which was almost the same as the drawing.
Qin Shu walked to the glass door quietly and took out the broken moon. When the blade was unsheathed, a cold light flashed. When she raised the knife and dropped it, the glass door was gently pushed open.

She put away the broken moon and pushed the glass door open. She walked in and closed the door behind her. Only then did she walk to Long Size’s room.
It was late at night, but the wall lamp in the living room was still on, thus the light was not very dim.
When she came to the door of Long Size’s room, she turned around to look at the door. She did not hear anything, so she held the doorknob and gently twisted it. Then she slowly pushed it open without making a sound.
When the gap was enough for a person to enter, she turned sideways and walked in, then she slowly closed the door.
In Long Size’s room, a wall lamp was lit too, emitting a soft light.
She looked in the direction of the bed. The bed was made of rosewood and had a light grey curtain that was pulled tightly.
For a sick person to pull the curtain so tightly, wasn’t he afraid of making his illness worse?
Qin Shu didn’t dare to approach in a hurry. She still remembered that Long Muyan told her that there was a voodoo poison in Long Size’s room. As he seriously warned her, this meant that he was very powerful.
She didn’t dare to get close to the bed. Her gaze swept through the room and finally landed on the cabinet at the corner.
Under the dim light, she could see the cabinet. On top of it was the table where the decorations were placed. There were a total of five large drawers, which were quite old in appearance.
She walked over quietly and stood in front of the cabinet. She turned around to look at the large bed behind her. She didn’t find anything strange, so she withdrew her gaze and gently opened one of the drawers. She took out her phone and turned on the flashlight, she found that there were some books inside. The pages were slightly yellowed, and they were quite old.
She searched for a while, but she did not see any photos.
Then she opened the second drawer. Under the light of the flashlight, she found that it was full of gift boxes. Most of them were dark red and exquisite gift boxes.
She opened one of them and found a pair of gold-plated jade earrings. It was obvious that the jade was very valuable.
She then opened the other one. It was a pair of gold-plated Hetian jade bracelets. The colour was round and smooth, without a single flaw. It was valuable too.
Looking at so many gift boxes in the drawer, her curiosity was piqued. They were all jewellery.
She then tried to open another exquisite gift box. It was a necklace. Under the light, it emitted several colours. This should be the legendary seven-coloured flowing light. Under the effect of the light, it would emit seven colours. In normal light, it would be silver.
She remembered she was here tonight to take photos secretly. Seeing that several exquisite gift boxes had not been opened, she suppressed her curiosity and closed the drawer.
She bent down and opened the third drawer. She found that there were also some exquisite gift boxes inside. Even if she did not open them, she could roughly guess that they were similar to the second drawer above.
Then, she opened the fourth drawer. There were still some exquisite dark red gift boxes.
When she opened the fifth drawer, she was stunned. Just like the other three drawers, there were some exquisite dark red gift boxes.
What she saw just now was all jewellery, and they were all worn by girls. Why was there so much jewellery in Long Size’s room?
She closed the last drawer in confusion and looked at the bedside cabinet on the side of the bed.
There were two drawers on the bedside cabinet. Long Size loved Long Ziling so much, and she had not been back for so long. The photos must have been placed somewhere within his reach.
She walked to the bedside table quietly, squatted down, and opened the first drawer quietly. Inside were some handicrafts, such as slingshots, wooden daggers, and wood carvings.
Could all of these have been made by Long Size?
Judging from the colour, it was a little old.
She opened the second drawer again. It was some doll toys.
She had opened so many drawers, but why didn’t she see a photo?
“Ah Ling… Ah Ling…”
Suddenly, there were two calls, which made Qin Shu tense up. She quickly turned off the flashlight and thought that was she’s awake while she was looking for the photo?
She raised her head to look at the large bed beside her and listened attentively. “Ah Ling…”
Ah Ling?
Was It Long Ziling?
Long Size’s voice was low and carried a sickly softness. It took a while for him to call out.
Qin Shu mustered up her courage and stretched out a hand to grab the curtain and opened a gap. She looked through the gap and saw that the blanket was bulging. A person was sleeping on the bed, and his breathing was very shallow and weak.
Because the light was too dim, she couldn’t see Long Size’s current appearance.
“Ah Ling…” Long Size called out again as if he had fallen into a nightmare.
Seeing that Long Size was missing her, Qin Shu didn’t know if she should respond. Maybe Long Size would feel at ease if he heard someone answering in his dream.
If she did, it would be over if Long Size woke up after she answered him.
At this moment, she suddenly heard footsteps coming from afar.
Qin Shu frowned. It was so late, who would come at this hour?
It was impossible to walk through the front door now. She turned her head to look at the window and quickly walked over.
The moment the door of the room opened, Qin Shu opened the window and jumped out. Then, she closed the window quickly. The whole set of movements was done in one go, fast and neat.
The door was pushed open from the outside. Long Qingyue walked in with the doctor. Then, he turned on the lights. The dimly lit room instantly became much brighter.
Long Qingyue walked over with big steps. He lifted the curtain with one hand and looked inside. Then, he heard Long Size calling in a low voice, “Ah Ling…”
“Dad, I’ve sent people to look for my sister. I’m sure they’ll find her. Don’t worry.”
Long Qingyue came in a sudden because Long Size touched the alarm bell, and the alarm switch was right at the head of the bed. He could touch it with a light touch.
“Doctor, come and take a look at my dad.” Long Qingyue took two steps to the side to make room.
The doctor carried the medical kit to the front of the bed. He put down the medical kit, took out the stethoscope, lifted the curtain with one hand, and sat on the edge of the bed for auscultation.
Long Size was getting old, and he was gasping for breath.
Long Qingyue stood at the side, not knowing what to do.
Long Size’s health was getting worse by the day.
He was afraid that some incident would happen one day.
After Qin Shu came out, she knew that it was Long Qingyue who came in to see Long Size and not because he noticed that someone had come in.
She heaved a sigh of relief and did not dare to stay any longer. She turned around and ran quickly to her courtyard.
She saw a vigorous figure shuttling through the walls.
When she passed by a courtyard, she suddenly stopped and turned around to take a look. The room in the courtyard was lit brightly. She remembered that this courtyard was unoccupied and even the signboard had fallen
off.
When she went to Fuqing courtyard, the room in the courtyard was still brightly lit.
She lowered her head to look at her watch. It was midnight.
She walked back a few steps out of curiosity and then walked into the courtyard. Seeing that the lights were on in the room, she walked over quietly and came to the window.
When she got closer, she realized that the window was not closed. No wonder it looked bright from the side.
