Wangshu Inn.

When Keqing thought that the landlady might know something about the case, she immediately got up and went downstairs to inquire.

"Hey, if you don't finish the shrimp balls first, I'll eat them all later." Su Cheng knew that Ke Qing was going to find the proprietress, so he deliberately shouted at her back.

Keqing ignored him and went downstairs without looking back.

Su Cheng shook his head. The braised noodles here are really fragrant. They are made with sesame oil and sprinkled with some Jueyun pepper. They are spicy, delicious and silky.

The special hand-made noodles taste very chewy.

Su Cheng couldn't stop after taking one bite.

Mandrill, who was watching silently, saw Ke Qing leaving, so he walked over and said coldly, "Who are you, and what is your purpose in coming to Liyue?"

Su Cheng raised his head and saw that Mandrill looked at him with a rather unfriendly look. Xiang Ling was followed last time, and he followed him all the way to Liyue.

I never got a chance to ask questions.

"My name is Su Cheng. I am a businessman from Mondstadt. I have opened an elf shop next to Liyue Wanmin Hall. If you are interested, you can come and have a look." Su Cheng said frankly. Where the Moon Immortal is, he still chooses to follow the local customs, respect these immortals, maintain due dignity, and at the same time not be overly humble.

Mandrill lowered his head and looked at the Cady dog ​​at his feet who was happily eating fried steak. No matter from the skin color, appearance, or body shape, it was somewhat different from his impression of canine animals.

He examined it and made sure that the puppy was not a demon, and then he looked up at Su Cheng.

"Elf? What is that?" Mandrill asked seriously.

"Similar to the elemental creatures on Teyvat, but not exactly the same. They have certain intelligence and can be conquered."

Mandrill pinched his chin and fell into deep thought. In the famous mountains and rivers of Liyue, there are many birds and beasts that have become immortals.

Before he was imprisoned by the Demon God, he was an ordinary young man. Later, he was rescued by Emperor Yan, slayed demons in Liyue, and became one of the three-eyed and five-manifold immortals guarding Liyue Port.

With such great power, the only one who can subdue him is the Rock King Emperor.

This person is just a mortal. How can he conquer such a creature and keep it by his side for him to control?

"If you don't believe it, you can come to my elf shop and take a look. Miss Ningguang from Qixing and Mr. Zhongli from the Rebirth Hall still approve of the elf shop." Su Cheng did not directly say that Zhongli is the incarnation of the Rock King.

He knew that he should be more subtle and try to appear to be a normal person without being overly public, so as not to arouse more people's suspicions.

Don't look at Mandrill like this, he is a Dharma Protector Yaksha. If he treats himself as a demon and gets rid of him, where will he be able to reason with?

I really let Hutao of Shengshengtang take advantage and replenish the treasury of Emperor Yanwang.

Mandrill's eyes narrowed slightly. This man could actually get the approval of the Rock King. In this way, he had no reason to doubt the other person.

After all, Emperor Yan Wang is far-sighted and far-sighted. How could he understand it?

However, he still wanted to find out what this elf was.

Not just for the sake of Emperor Yanwang and the peace of the people of Liyue, but to understand the doubts in Xin Xin.

As soon as Mandrill thought of this, he silently returned to his seat and continued to enjoy almond tofu.

……

Keqing went downstairs and walked to the counter.

Phil Godette was leaning against the counter, playing with the kitten with a fur ball-shaped object.

"Mrs. Boss, I want to ask about something." Keqing said.

"My name is boss, not boss lady." Phil Godette covered her forehead, wondering why customers kept confusing her.

She should find a craftsman to put up a sign in front of the counter that says, "I'm not the boss lady, I'm the boss."

But this would seem too cool.

"Boss," Ke Qing was muttering in her heart. It was all the fault of the store manager for opening and closing his mouth to call the lady boss, causing her to call her the wrong one too. "Excuse me, how many couples have been in your store recently?"

Phil Godette stretched out her hand leisurely and said, "There are rules for asking for information here."

Keqing took out some Mora from her pocket and gave it to her.

"It's easy to say." After Philgodette received the money, she took out a ledger from the cabinet and spread it out for Keqing to see. "This is the tenant record for the past few days."

Keqing took it over and took a closer look. There were many tourists coming to stay at Wangshu Inn. She thought there would be much fewer tourists in the off-season.

Unexpectedly, there are so many more.

This is considered an error in her information collection.

She looked over one by one. Most of the tourists came from Fontaine, Mondstadt, and Liyue.

The guests from Fontaine are easier to recognize because their names are more special.

Some of the names of Mondstadt and Liyue are confused, so it is difficult to recognize them.

However, his ancestors were cultural masters, so it was not a problem for Ke Qing to distinguish the names of these people.

With her keen eyesight and rich work experience, Keqing finally saw two conspicuous names among the densely packed names.

Huachu and Jianqiu.

She took a closer look and saw that the check-in date written next to the two names was three days ago, and check-out was yesterday.

It took less than three days from the disappearance of Hua Chu to the discovery of the lady in the well.

However, the names of Hua Chu and Jian Qiu had moved in here three days ago.

Ke Qing pondered for a moment and asked, "Boss, did you meet Hua Chu and Jian Qiu yesterday?"

"Many couples checked out and checked in yesterday. Our inn is open for business and we meet so many people every day. I'm sorry I don't know who the two people you are talking about are." Phil Godette frowned upon hearing this.

When Ke Qing thought that the truth might be right in front of her, she couldn't help but feel a little anxious, "Hua Chu has flat bangs. She is quite pretty. She wears a sky blue top and dark blue vertical striped trousers, and that person is Jian Qiu." A gentle-looking teacher wearing glasses."

Phil Godette's mind was searching for the faces of people she had seen yesterday, and they felt both strange and familiar, but she just couldn't remember them.

It was as if there was something in the dark that wouldn't remind her.

It's like carrying the key to a warehouse with you. When you go to find it, you will forget that the key is on you.

She could only nod helplessly, "I'm sorry, I really can't remember."

"No need to say sorry." Su Cheng suddenly appeared behind Ke Qing and handed some molas to Phil Godette, "No need to look for it. By the way, boss lady, can you take us to the hotel where Hua Chu and Jian Qiu stayed? Check out the guest room?”

Phil Godette saw that Su Cheng had given Maura a lot, but the help he wanted from her was just a little effort, so she said happily, "Sir, please come with me."

Keqing frowned slightly, wondering what the store manager was planning.

The best way at the moment is to remind the boss lady, maybe she can know the whereabouts of Hua Chu and Jian Qiu, and use this to find clues.

She followed silently.

"You two, please come this way." Phil Godette led Ke Qing and Su Cheng into an elegant room.

Inside, calligraphy, paintings, and porcelain are neatly displayed, pens, inks, papers, and inkstones are piled at the corner of the table, and the sheets and quilts are folded without a trace of wrinkles.

It seemed that someone from the inn had cleaned up.

However, Phil Godette said, "We haven't even had time to clean up this house yet."
