When the waiter saw the stylishly dressed eldest daughter of the Leng family go out, he thought he could go in and clean the table, but he was scared out by the two people inside.
The atmosphere in the room was weird. There was one person sitting and one standing, and nothing seemed unusual. But I felt like something bad would happen if I went in.
The waiter carefully closed the door again and went about his business.
The Leng family and the Rong family are both big families, so there is no need to worry about them eating and dodging. As long as someone pays the bill, the rest can do whatever they want.
In fact, only A Fei's breath was not right in the room, Yu Qirong was just thinking about something.
According to Xie Yi, the people from other guilds came to cause trouble, so he did not reveal the fact that he knew Xie Yi.
But Leng Yunchao, Song Ruyi, Wu Bo and Hong Meng are all here. It seems that they are not unknown people. Is it appropriate for them to come to such a small dungeon for team building?
In other words, is it necessary to mobilize them just for the fight between guilds?
Or maybe Chen Xing was hiding something from him.
Yu Qirong came back to his senses and looked at A Fei who had been looking at him for who knows how long, "Go back?"
Ah Fei did not reply to him. He looked at Yu Qirong with his black and white eyes. The white parts were as white as rice paper, and the black parts were like the ink he had used. The whole thing looked like an ink painting.
However, the content of the painting is not very gentle, and there is an oppressive feeling of impending storm.
Yu Qirong could only feel the emotions but didn't know the reason, so he just tilted his head slightly and made a questioning sound: "Hmm?"
"The young master and the eldest lady of the Leng family seem to be having a very pleasant conversation." Ah Fei raised his eyelids and spoke in a calm tone, but his eyes were not as harmless as his tone.
"Oh, it's okay. Are you angry?" Yu Qirong's eyelids twitched, and she felt that what Leng Yunchao said before leaving did not seem to make sense.
He revealed too many flaws, but Ah Fei ignored them all. It was unclear whether he was unable to notice or was deliberately teasing him.
"No." A Fei lowered his head, and his expression could not be seen.
Yu Qirong stood up, resisting the urge to look over to see his expression, "Let's go then."
He felt that he needed to talk to Xie Yi again. As for the matter of A Fei, he needed to think about it carefully.
As soon as the people from the Leng family left, the people from the Rong family did not stay either. After paying the price for two private rooms, they left directly, without any intention of saying another word to Rong Qi.
This was exactly what he wanted. Originally, Yu Qirong didn't know what attitude he should adopt towards the two of them.
Xie Yi left him a temporary residence at his master's place, but before Yu Qirong could go find him, he was taken away by a group of people wearing the same clothes.
He had never seen such people in his circle of life, but as soon as they arrived, Yu Qirong guessed their identities.
Yu Qirong sat on a wooden chair. A Fei poured him a cup of tea. After a few splashing sounds, Yu Qirong picked up the teacup and glanced calmly at the man sitting opposite him in a red official uniform.
"Mr. Rong." The person opposite first greeted him with a fake smile, and then continued with a face that Yu Qirong was familiar with: "We meet again."
Song Ruyi looked at Yu Qirong and smiled, but Yu Qirong just looked at him quietly without any expression.
Even though he was treated so coldly, Song Ruyi didn't look unhappy. He poured himself a cup of tea and raised the cup in his hand in a pretentious manner.
He said meaningfully, "Last time we met, I wanted to know Mr. Rong's address, but today when we met, it was Mr. Rong who came to visit me."
Yu Qirong had been going back and forth all morning, eating and drinking a little too much. At this moment, he really couldn't drink any more, so he just held the quilt in his hands, "I didn't expect that Mr. Song, who writes and draws on the street, actually has such an identity... Just tell me what you want to ask."
"Don't worry, I was delayed by this matter because I couldn't go to the market with Mr. Rong that day..." Song Ruyi smiled brightly, "Mr. Rong is related to a murder case in this town. As an investigator sent from outside, of course I have to have a good chat with Mr. Rong."
Yu Qirong didn't really want to chat with him.
According to Leng Yunchao, Song Ruyi was not a good guy. He drew a detective card, which looked much more formal than any of them.
I don’t know whether it’s a good thing or a bad thing.
Yu Qirong's face was full of annoyance, but he said patiently, "Go ahead and ask."
Some human customs are actually not very compatible with him as an NPC, but in order to avoid some troubles, he is trying to integrate into them and at least be respectful.
"I have heard some very interesting rumors." Song Ruyi tilted his head, supported his head with his palm, and tapped his temples with his fingers. "It's about Mr. Rong's eye color."
...natural.
Yu Qirong didn't want to look him in the eye, so she looked away, "Do you believe it?"
Song Ruyi smiled and said, "It's just some feudal superstition. I certainly don't believe it too much. But according to our investigation, you did have contact with the dead, so you were invited here."
"I went to ask him to make a set of clothes, nothing else." Yu Qirong raised his hand and pointed to the suit he was wearing: "Here, this is it."
Song Ruyi shook his head and said meaningfully, "The cause of death was sudden death, but he had no heart problems. What do you think of this, Mr. Rong?"
Yu Qirong is not very good at reasoning, but if he can turn this into a problem, then that's fine.
Some are known conditions, some are results. If you want to infer the premise conditions based on the results...
Yu Qirong frowned: "Maybe we should start with what happened that day?"
"That's right, bring him up!" Song Ruyi clapped his hands, and a young man in blue cloth was brought up.
Song Ruyi's men moved very heavily, and the young man stumbled and fell beside Yu Qirong's shoes. Before Yu Qirong could move his feet, the young man crawled away as if he was afraid of getting something stuck on him.
The young man shrank a little, probably because he had no experience of being arrested by officials. His clothes were not new, and the light blue clothes were washed to a milky white. Yu Qirong had never seen him before, so he just frowned and looked at Song Ruyi.
Song Ruyi raised his foot and used the tip of his shoe to lift the boy's chin, "Go ahead."
The young man's name was Xing Guang. The person who died was the young man's shop owner, and he was an apprentice. On the day Yu Qirong came to his house, he happened to be sent by the shop owner to deliver clothes, so he just missed it.
The store kept a record of the bill, and A Fei went to the store to ask about it, only then did he know that the clothes were bought by Rong Qi, the young master of the Rong family.
Xing Guang lay on the ground, looking like he was recalling something: "Because it was an urgent order, the boss worked on it overnight for two days before rushing it out."
Yu Qirong's eyelids twitched, and he thought, could it be that he died of overwork while rushing to make clothes for him?
He glanced at A Fei standing beside him, feeling uncertain. He knew too little about the rules of this world, and wondered if this could be considered an accidental triggering of the death rule.
A Fei looked away, obviously still angry with him.
Yu Qirong had no choice but to turn his gaze back to Song Ruyi, but Song Ruyi tapped the ground with his shoe and said, "Continue."
"Originally I was supposed to deliver it, but there was a market that night and the store was busy and short-staffed, so I planned to deliver it after the market was over. But before the market was over, the boss said he had to go to the toilet and didn't come back for a long time."
"I had to stay in the store because I couldn't leave anyone watching. Then a Taoist priest in a yellow robe asked to borrow the toilet. I pointed him in the right direction, and then I heard him come out in a panic and tell me there was a dead person inside."
Xing Guang paused, tears in his eyes, and knelt down at Song Ruyi's feet again: "My boss has always been in good health, but now he has ended up like this... It's all because my boss met him, Rong Qi!"
Yu Qirong was suddenly identified and felt confused. He just found a tailor shop at random, but was accused of harming others. He was really unlucky.
Xing Guang insisted, "Rong Qi was born with a pair of eyes that represent bad luck. Even the Rong family is afraid to avoid him, but he still doesn't know how to avoid suspicion and comes out brazenly to harm my boss!"
"Your boss took the money, so of course he has to do the job." Ah Fei suddenly spoke up, and said in a stern tone: "My young master was walking around the market that day. If the boss died of exhaustion, it means that this is his fate. If someone deliberately murdered him, it should not be my young master."
Yu Qirong turned around and glanced at A Fei who was defending her. She thought he would remain silent.
Xing Guang was so frightened by A Fei standing beside Yu Qirong that he was speechless, and his body was shaking violently like a yellow leaf in the autumn wind.
He kowtowed to Song Ruyi: "The Lord of Heaven is wise! This Rong Qi is an ominous person. All the elders in Yuling Town know this. Now he wants to take advantage of the Leng family in Yeyun Town to form an alliance... This is premeditated murder!"
It's been dragged off to another place again.
Yu Qirong frowned and re-arranged what Xing Guang said, "What does the yellow-robed Taoist priest you mentioned look like?"
Xing Guang was stunned and didn't want to answer, but Song Ruyi gave him a look, signaling him to speak honestly. He had no choice but to grit his teeth and said, "I don't remember the specific villain very clearly, I just remember that he had a pair of beautiful eyes."
Yu Qirong: “…” It can’t be such a coincidence.
“By the way, I heard someone calling him Taoist Xie. He lives in the Kelai Inn in the northwest corner of Yuling Town.” Xing Guang added.
Song Ruyi therefore sent someone to invite this "Master Xie" over with great interest.
Yu Qirong hid his expression by drinking tea. He had been thinking about going to talk to Xie Yi, but now that was out of the question, the two of them had to meet honestly.
When Xie Yi was brought over, the first thing he saw was Yu Qirong sitting there. Before he could say a few words, he saw Song Ruyi sitting opposite him.
Thank you for your heartache.
Song Ruyi put down the teacup in his hand, and some of the tea inside spilled out. He grinned and said, "Master Xie, it turns out to be you."
Yu Qirong looked at Song Ruyi. They were indeed old acquaintances, but he might have to pretend to be an aboriginal. So he adjusted his expression and asked curiously, "Mr. Song knows him? It seems that we can appropriately rule out the suspicion of this Taoist priest."
Xie Yi knew that Yu Qirong didn't want to reveal his identity, so he didn't look at him, but just looked at Song Ruyi viciously.
Song Ruyi shook his head: "I'm not familiar with him. I've only met him two or three times. Taoist Xie is cunning and good at using sweet words. I think he is more suspicious."
Xie Yi was given a bad identity when he first entered the game, so he had to suffer a setback here. He felt very aggrieved, and was slandered by Song Ruyi in both open and covert ways. He was even more angry in his heart, "I was just passing by and using the toilet. What suspicion would there be?"
Xing Guang echoed, "Yes, yes, I think Rong Qi is more suspicious."
Yu Qirong: “…”
gratitude:"……"
At this time, staring at each other in bewilderment was not enough to describe how speechless they were. It was clearly a random situation, but Song Ruyi seemed determined to catch the murderer.
While they were talking, a constable suddenly walked in from outside the door and said to Song Ruyi, "Sir Song, it's bad. There have been many deaths in Yuling Town similar to the tailor shop owner! The people in Yuling are in a panic."
