Chapter 27 Puppet Town (10)
Seeing that Shu Li just stared at her without speaking, Lin Meiren felt a little guilty: "My imagination is a bit too big, right?"

"Ah, no." Shu Li thought about the wording, but still just said: "I think you are right!"

When several people entered this dungeon, their clothes were similar to ancient costumes with several layers of clothes, but Shu Li and Lin Meiren's clothes were relatively simple.

The two searched each other's bodies, but there was nothing on Lin Meiren.Shu Li, on the other hand, had a folding fan on her body, similar to the kind often held by literati in movies and TV shows.

On the other two sides, He Jian's soles were stained with wet mud from the river, which corroborated what he said about throwing Zuo Si into the river.

Nothing was found on Cuoyue Huarong, but a dagger was found on Bai Shu, with blood stains on the top.

Everyone gathered in the lobby downstairs to share the clues.

Shu Li's folding fan passed through everyone's hands, and neither the weight nor the sharpness of the fan bones constituted the suspicion of being a murder weapon.

On the contrary, Bai Shu's dagger had a sharp edge and residual blood stains on it.

Bai Shu looked like he had broken a jar and said arrogantly to a few people: "You can doubt me, just don't regret it if you make the wrong investment."

Without looking at him, Shu Li asked the other people directly: "Who among the people collecting evidence together has reached 20% exploration level?"

Hua Rong and the others looked at each other, obviously not much, but Cui Yue lazily raised his hand.

"I……"

He smiled sheepishly: "Boss Shu, I really don't want to doubt you. As for the door in your basement, you just gave me a 10% progress increase."

He mentioned it just now, but Shu Li didn't pay much attention to it.Now that she heard this statement again, she was a little curious.

"Then let's go down and have a look? Is anyone with us?" Shu Li asked.

Ten percent temptation, no one can refuse.

The six people turned around and went down to the basement.

As soon as I got down the stairs, a chill hit me.

Suddenly, a pair of colder hands hugged Shu Li's left hand.

Lin Meiren: "I'm afraid."

Shu Li said: "Sisters, this is the basement where ice cubes and wine are stored. It is equivalent to a giant refrigerator. It is normal to be cold."

Lin Meiren was about to cry but had no tears: "My first dungeon, the key clue is in the basement, exactly the same as here. It's cold inside because there are more than a dozen sisters in white..."

She said exactly what she meant: "Do you understand?"

I don’t really want to understand…

Cuo Yue, who was walking in front, also heard her words and comforted her: "Don't worry, nothing happened when I came down."

After passing the wine compartment, you will find the ice room that exudes a chill. After turning the corner and walking a dozen steps, you will find the door.

At first glance, it looks no different from the wooden doors in the rooms above, and it feels the same when you touch it.

But several people tried to push or pull, but nothing really moved.

It seems to be integrated with the surrounding walls.

"It looks like any other door. I searched all over and couldn't find any mechanism or anything like that."

Cuoyue looked over expectantly: "How's it going? Is there any progress? Do you know how to open it?"

Shu Li's eyes were dazed for a moment, and she slowly shook her head.

When turning back, Shu Li deliberately slowed down and walked with Cuo Yue, who was lagging behind.

"Have you searched the basement?" Shu Li asked, "Have you gone into the ice room and wine room?"

Cuoyue said: "Why didn't you look? I reached in and touched every jar of wine."

Shu Li raised her eyebrows and looked at him, and Cuo Yue chuckled twice: "It's just to collect evidence, no shame."

"That's strange. This hotel has been searched through and the upstairs is in such a state. How come you can't find a way to open the door?" "Perhaps you, the master, need to cut your finger and then identify the blood. Open the door to welcome you." Cuo Yue thought divergently.

Shu Li: "...Then I'll go back and let some blood flow now?"

Cuoyue: "No need to..."

When everyone returned to the first floor, they saw several people carrying trays disappearing while going downstairs. They were visually shocked.

Except Shu Li.

She touched her stomach, which was so hungry just now, and raised her chin: "Let's go eat."

Under the shocked looks of others, Shu Li had no choice but to repeat the conversation in the kitchen to them.

After sitting down, Huarong rinsed the tableware with hot tea water, still not forgetting to analyze.

"Based on what the chef said and the fact that every house doesn't have a kitchen, we've been eating here for more than a year..."

"Why on earth did Boss Shu do this?"

"Boss Shu" had his mouth full. He raised his head in a hurry, shook his head, and hesitated.

Huarong's brows jumped and she looked at the others.

Lin Meiren poured the hot tea on her sleeve, wiped the lipstick from her mouth boldly, and joined Shu Li.

Cuo Yue He Jian used his chopsticks as if they were springs. Bai Shu, who looked the most gentle, could not hold on for more than two seconds before he also started the speed mode.

Hua Rong tried her best to hold back the twitching of her brows: "You are so brave. Don't you know that the tableware outside needs to be disinfected before it can be used?"

Shu Li took the time to look up: "Just ordering like this, what else do you care about?"

While distracted, the last piece of beef had already entered Cuo Yue's mouth.

Huarong: "..."

What else can Huarong say? If you can’t beat me, just join!
After the meal of "war and chaos" passed, several people sat with their arms spread out and began to eat.

Except for Hua Rong who is not full.

"I think there's something fishy about making wishes."

Even though he was burping in Cuoyue, he did not forget about business: "Pisces will not fall from the sky, and you must use something in exchange for making a wish."

"Based on Boss Shu's character, she takes out the money for no reason and divides it equally among everyone to open a shop. She also gives some subsidies every year."

"As for Zuo Si, he eats and drinks for free, and Boss Shu keeps giving it to him. If he hadn't asked Boss Shu to give him all the money, and threatened to tell the truth about the wish, Boss Shu wouldn't be murderous. "

Shu Li took a sip of hot tea and said, "That's a good point, but I don't have murderous intentions. I just want him to forget about making a wish."

"Okay, I don't have any murderous intentions." Cuoyue Congshan Ruliu changed his words: "Then what is the prerequisite for Boss Shu to do this?"

Shu Li yawned and didn't seem to care much.

"Cuo Yue's motive is to get back the clan's treasure, He Jian's motive is to protect Lin Meiren, and Boss Shu's motive is to hide the secret."

Huarong listed them one by one and said: "Ignoring whether He Jian turned back to finish the attack, Boss Cuoyue and Shu are the most suspicious."

Shu Li said nothing.

Cuoyue rolled her eyes: "Baishu still has a knife on him."

"But in my story line, Bai Shu didn't do anything. He was just a weak woman..."

Hua Rong paused: "She seems to be a scholar, but she simply can't bring herself to kill anyone."
