Zhao Long ordered a table of dishes: "I'm really starving to death."

Gu Fan also picked up a chopstick of food, and ate slowly: "Don't eat too fast, there are not many people now, and we can only stay here in a daze after eating early."

People eating at noon made the whole restaurant full of people very quickly, seeing that the time was almost up, Xie Si put down his chopsticks and said loudly on purpose: "You say how much worse the dishes we are eating now are compared to Princess Lezheng. "

Before anyone could agree, the person sitting behind him turned around and said, "This is comparable to Princess Lezheng's meals. She eats 84 dishes in one meal, and only takes one or two bites of each dish." .”

"That's right, that's right, I heard that the raw materials for her dish can be worth three days' meals for an ordinary family."

After opening the topic, they heard everyone around them talking about Princess Lezheng.

"One of her clothes is made of high-quality silk, and the jewelry she wears is the kind that we can't imagine." Others also sighed.

"It would be better if she was only extravagant, but she was also extremely cruel and killed countless people. She increased our taxes by four or five times, and when she saw a good-looking man, she would be taken into the house and killed if she didn't like her. slaughtered a village."

"Yes, yes, we hated her so much at that time, and her son-in-law was also miserable, otherwise we wouldn't have helped the general to overthrow the old dynasty."

"Li Yuanwai's son is such a good person, so talented and personable. It's a pity that he will be able to shine in the family after being the number one in the exam."

"You can see that he is not like before when he comes back, but he often hangs around the brothel with those dudes."

"This is the first champion out of our small town."

"It's just that after the old dynasty was overthrown, I don't know where this princess hid, so it's better to die outside."

People around talked a lot, and almost everyone gritted their teeth when they mentioned this princess.

"Is the son-in-law from your small town?" Xie Si pretended to be curious.

"No, it's the son of Li Yuan's family in the east of the city. Because of his meritorious service in helping to overthrow the old dynasty, the new emperor complied with his request to return to his hometown, but he died inexplicably in the mansion last year, which is also a tragic fate." The person who spoke Shaking his head regretfully.

After getting the news they wanted, they paid for the meal and left in satisfaction.

"The key word in this world is 'gap'. The one who died so far is the hanged widow, another one is the son-in-law, and one is Princess Lezheng, who is not only a key figure in life or death." Xie Siluo There aren't many clues out there right now.

"Could it be the son-in-law? The son-in-law has a good family background and talent, but he was trapped by the princess, so the gap is too big, and resentment has arisen." Zhao Long guessed so.

"We are still not sure about this. The only way now is to continue to look for clues."

The snow was getting bigger and bigger, and the ground was gradually covered with a layer of white snow, and the sun could not be seen at all.

After thinking about it, Xie still wanted to go to Li Yuanwai's house to take a look: "Let's go to Li Yuanwai's house first?"

"Then what is our name?" someone asked.

"Let's just say that we met him in the capital, and we haven't seen him for a long time. When we came to this city, we heard that he was dead, so we wanted to pay respects."

"Okay, let's do it!" Everyone agreed.

When they came to Li's house, they realized that there was no need to bother because the house was already empty.

"Excuse me, has this family moved out?" Xie Si asked a passerby.

"No, the whole family died. Mr. Li died at home for unknown reasons last year. In less than three months, his parents died of grief and illness. Once they died, there was no one else in the family." After finishing, that person couldn't wait to leave.

"All dead?"

"Come on, go in and have a look." Xie Si said and was about to push the door here.

One push, no push.

Push again, still no push.

He turned around helplessly, and said to Gu Fan, "I can't push."

Originally speaking, it was quite normal, just an ordinary request for help, but coupled with his sweet girl, a different kind of coquettish aura came over his face.

Girls in the team: This must be a couple.

Gu Fan also went to push, "Go over the wall."

The scene was a little awkward.

"This door is locked, we can't get it open." He tugged at the chain on the door, showing it to Sheth.

Xie Si: "..."

Looking at the three-meter-high wall, several people wished they could raise their heads to the sky and scream.

"If you don't, girls shouldn't go in. It's too high, and you'll get hurt."

"it is good."

Gu Fan looked at Xie Si with a half-smile, and Xie Si immediately understood what he meant. He looked at his attire, and then at the high courtyard wall.

He turned his head and turned to the girls: "Let's go, let's go over there first. It's too cold now, find a teahouse, maybe we can get news."

Looking at his flustered back, Gu Fan couldn't help laughing out loud. The others were a little dazed, but Xie Si gritted his teeth.

"Let's go, come in, I believe those boys will find the clue." There were not many girls in the team, including Xie Si, there were only three.

The three chatted in the teahouse.

"The atmosphere is not too tense this time!" Xie Si made a cup of tea and put it to his mouth.

This world is completely different from the last world. The last world gave people the feeling that they needed to complete the task quickly, otherwise people would die. However, this world has a long time limit and a life without worries. It is really not a good place to do tasks.

"Hey, you guys heard that five days ago, several gentlemen who wrote books died overnight."

"I've heard, I've heard, they died inexplicably, no wounds were found, and the weirdest thing is that after an autopsy, they said they should have been dead for a long time, but the neighbors around said they had seen them the day before. .”

"Do you think there will be any monsters?" A person quietly lowered his voice and said.

"It shouldn't be, those people didn't harm anyone, did they?"

Xie Si and the others quietly pricked up their ears, listening to the chatting of the people at the table behind.

"The government is now thoroughly investigating the entire Yuancheng, and found nothing. I don't know if this case will be closed." A person sighed.

"Lets see."

"In this world, any word they say may be a clue. I don't know what those book writers did."

After an unknown amount of time, a loud voice came from the door of the teahouse, "Guest officer, we really can't let you in with your appearance!"

Turning his head, Xie Si saw Gu Fan and the others standing at the door, their bodies were covered with dust and spider webs, some had their clothes scratched, and some had scratches on their faces.

They hurried out, "How did you do this!"

Gu Fan's entire face was black, and his whole body exuded a black aura.

"After all, the wall is high, so it's normal to fall down." Zhao Long covered the scratches on his face and smiled embarrassingly.

"I don't know how long it hasn't been cleaned inside, and the cobwebs are already very thick."

"Let's go back and talk about it first." There were people coming and going at the door, and those who passed by looked at them curiously, and Gu Fan's face became even darker.

Wait a moment, Xie Si hurriedly ran into the teahouse, and came out again after a while.

"Okay, it's fine." Seeing Gu Fan's displeased face, he chuckled.

Back in the yard where they lived, the men hurried back to their room to take a shower and change clothes. After they came out, everyone let out a sigh of relief.

"What's going on with you guys?" Xie Si approached Gu Fan and asked with a playful smile.

Gu Fan's face darkened again, "You ask them about this, I don't want to talk about it."

"I'll tell, I'll tell." Zhao Long stretched his arms actively, raising his hand to answer.

"It's a good thing you girls didn't go, otherwise it would have been a pain." Zhao Long poured himself a glass of water to moisten his throat, "It took us a long time to climb the three-meter-high wall. That little Li over there , I almost fell headlong."

"Don't talk about that, let's get to the point." Gu Fan rolled his eyes.

"Okay, okay, this is the point. The house inside has indeed been lived in for a long time, and the house is full of spider webs. We found a big empty box in Mr. Li's room, and there was such an earring in it. With that said, he motioned Gu Fan to take out the earrings.

Gu Fan took out an earring from his cuff. This earring was light red and looked exquisitely made and expensive.

"There are scratches and a broken nail on the bottom of the box where the earrings were found." Gu Fan said so and looked at Zhao Long again.

Zhao Long was taken aback, what are you doing?

"Where's the nail I gave you?" Seeing that Zhao Long was still in a daze, Gu Fan was speechless.

"Isn't that garbage? I don't know where to throw it."

The crowd fell silent for a while.

"Is it very important?" Seeing that there was something wrong with the atmosphere, Zhao Long said tentatively.

Gu Fan sighed, "It doesn't matter, the nail is on the middle finger, and it's well maintained, it should belong to a noble lady."

"Has he put people in boxes?" Xie Si took the earrings and looked at them carefully.

"It's possible, that box is quite big."

"Who was hidden in that box? Which lady or the missing princess?"

"I think it's more likely that it's a princess. The earrings are so well made and made of good materials. Besides, if he really wants to bring some young lady back, he won't lock them in the box."

"Yes, and then, where did that princess go? Did she die or something happened?" A girl asked with concern.

"This needs to be investigated further. By the way, several book writers died in the city recently, and I don't know what is the connection." Xie Si told Gu Fan and the others what he heard in the teahouse.

"Let's talk about this tomorrow. It's too late now, and there is no curfew at night to go out to search for any clues." Gu Fan saw that the sky was getting dark, and it was really not suitable for him to go out.

"That's fine, anyway, I asked the location of the homes of those book writers. Just go directly tomorrow." Xie Si admired his clever little head.

"Okay, go to the kitchen to find some dinner, and go to bed early tonight."

……

At night, although he and Gu Fan slept on the same bed in the last world, it is still a bit awkward now.

"How about we sleep alone on the floor and take turns at night?" Looking at the small bed, Xie Si suggested.

Gu Fan suddenly came over and forced Xie Si to take a step back, with a sly smile on the corner of his mouth: "It's not like the two of us have slept together before, you won't be shy now, will you?"

"You're the one who is shy!" Xie Si avoided Gu Fan's approaching face, "We are both men, so there is nothing to be shy about, I... I think this bed is too small, it's really difficult for the two of us to sleep together. It's too crowded."

"Oh, it doesn't matter. Think about it, the bed in the previous world was smaller, and it was cold in winter. Once the two of you squeezed together, it just happened to be warm. That's it." After finishing speaking, Xie Si dragged him onto the bed without waiting for a reaction.

"Hey, wait..."
