System [I am in a horror dungeon]

The man hesitated for a moment, then moved aside to let them in.

"My wife will be back around a quarter past noon. If you want to wait, then wait."

After saying that, they returned to the house. Several people sat on the benches in the yard and observed their surroundings.

Chu Lingxian was a little curious, "Lu Nanyin, how do you know he's married?"

"There are some women's clothes over there."

"Can't these be sisters' clothes?" Xia Xiaoxiao asked, looking at the women's clothes on the clothesline.

Lu Nanyin smiled mysteriously, "This is the custom of Qianling Country. Married women wear clothes in this color, while unmarried women wear brighter colors, not this color."

Su Liyue frowned as she looked at the darker colored clothes and whispered, "Do you even care about the color of women's clothes here? I'm speechless."

"What can we do?" Lu Nanyin came closer. "This is to make it easier to identify people. Also, the fabric of the clothes. People of different classes wear different fabrics."

"What does it mean to make it easy to identify people?"

"It means that if you are a married woman, you cannot go out casually. As you get older, you go out less and less, only once or twice a year. But those unmarried girls can go out at any time, and if anything happens, they have to bear the consequences themselves."

The three of them were stunned. There is such a thing! What kind of rules are these? They were speechless!

In front of the three people, Lu Nanyin added something into the teapot, coughed a few times, and signaled them with her eyes to drink tea.

Several people did as they were told, and after a while, several of them acted out and fell on the table.

The man came out of the house, took out a sound transmission note from his arms, and passed the message to his other companions.

When all those people came over, a few of them woke up and you tied them up in no time.

"You guys have only a few skills, but you're still trying to kidnap others. Tell me, were you responsible for the strange things that happened at the inn next door last night?"

Those people kept silent. Chu Lingxian played with a dagger in his hand and looked at them with a smile, "Do you know what Ling Chi is? It means cutting off your flesh piece by piece, and letting you watch yourself walk towards death bit by bit..."

"Yes, it was all us who did it. Don't... try to kill me." One of them shouted and shook constantly, obviously frightened.

"Then tell me, how did you do it and why did you do it?"

"We used to make a living by collecting herbs in Changxi Mountain, but in the past two years, Changxi Mountain has been in turmoil. It is said that some powerful beast tribe has settled there. We dare not go up the mountain, so we came here to scare the people in the inn. When they ran away in fear, we took away all their property."

After that, several people also found stolen goods in the house, including Lu Nanyin's bracelet.

Lu Nanyin got the bracelet and was overjoyed. Fortunately, it was found back.

Several people looked at the things on the table and were puzzled. "What should we do with these things?"

"Send it to the local government office?"

Lu Nanyin shook her head. "Forget it. Those officials are all corrupt officials. If these things are handed over to them, you can imagine the consequences."

"What should we do then? Should we take them with us?"

"It's not a good idea to carry it with us. What if someone recognizes us when we take it out and accuses us of being thieves?"

Lu Nanyin looked at those people and came up with an idea.

Chu Lingxian posted the missing person notice in a conspicuous place. It read: I caught a few thieves in the alley. If anyone has lost something in Zhiyuan Inn, please come to the inn to claim it.

In Zhiyuan Inn, the boss was a little confused when he saw so many people coming.

Lu Nanyin pulled him aside and said to him, "Boss, do people often lose things in your inn? There are also rumors that there are unclean things here? These people have stayed in your store before and lost things. Today we caught those who pretended to be ghosts and stole things. We posted a notice outside, so your inn is no longer suspected. We also helped those people find their lost things. Isn't the reputation of the inn improved? Then won't more customers come? Right? This is a win-win situation."

The boss was stunned by what she said, and after thinking about it, it seemed to be true. He gave the waiter an order and left it alone.

After a while, many people gathered at the inn. Lu Nanyin stood on the stairs, looked at everyone and said loudly: "Everyone, you have all lost something. It just so happens that a few of us also lost something yesterday, and we found these thieves when we went out today."

Lu Nanyin pointed at the people who were tied up next to the stairs, and everyone looked at those people with a hint of resentment in their eyes.

"I found stolen goods in these people's houses, so I spread the word and let these things return to their rightful owners."

"However, to prevent someone from claiming falsely, we have some unique ways to test whether what you say is true or false."

Everyone who came was whispering, and some people didn't believe it and asked, "What method is it?"

"I can't tell you the method. What if someone cheats?"

After that, Su Liyue came over with a bunch of things. Lu Nanyin began to ask, "Who claims these things? Please come to the front and explain clearly what you lost, where it came from, and if there is anyone to prove it. Please come forward to identify whether this thing is yours."

Someone stepped forward and stood in front of Lu Nanyin, pointing at a jade pendant and saying, "This jade pendant was given to me by my father. It has our family symbol on it and my name at the back - Yan."

Lu Nanyin took the jade pendant and looked at it. It was indeed as he said. "Does anyone have any evidence?"

"This is my younger sister. We came out together and checked into this inn five days ago. The jade pendant disappeared the next day. She can testify to this."

The woman next to him nodded, "Yes, I can testify. We also lost a few spirit stones with our family's logo on them. We can sense it."

"Spiritual stones, how many did you lose? We found about 70 or 80 of them. Can you find them?"

Xia Xiaoxiao came over with a bag, opened it, and inside was half a bag of spirit stones.

The woman stepped forward and stretched out her hand. A ray of light appeared in her palm, and twenty spirit stones flew out of the bag and surrounded her hand.

"No more, no less, exactly twenty." The woman said happily.

Lu Nanyin also returned the jade pendant to them and said, "Be careful next time and pay more attention."

"Okay, thank you very much, see you later."

"See you later!"

Seeing that someone successfully got his belongings back, others also came forward to explain their lost items and found people who were with them to testify that they got them back.

……

"Are you sure this is yours? Where's your witness?"
