Seeing the confused expression flashing across Shen You'er's face, Yabai continued to explain patiently, "Well... maybe it's because money is tight recently. The waiter in the shop couldn't help but take action today."
"In addition, there are a lot of people staring at him recently, so the waiter was caught as soon as he made a move."
"Of course he can't avoid being questioned."
"He honestly confessed the fact that he was a thief, but he didn't mention the murder at all."
Shen Youer also felt a little unexpected.
But what Thuja said next made her alert again!
Yabai suddenly stabbed Shen You'er with his sword, but Shen You'er's figure dodged from the left like a dragonfly touching water. "I found out, besides going to Hongchen Inn, those people also went to another place..."
"Where?!" Shen You'er's sword and Yabai attacked each other. Both of them pointed their swords at each other, but when they were about to touch each other, they both ducked with their heads. Soon, the swords of both sides were thrown. They pointed at each other in unison.
Thuja's dark pupils looked at Shen You'er, "We have also been to that place..."
Shen Youer extracted the key point in time: us?!
She had only come into contact with Thuja in the past few days, and she had only visited a few places with Thuja. Excluding the Hongchen Inn, the rest could be eliminated quickly.
Shen You'er quickly recalled in her mind the places she and Yabai had been in the past few days. Yabai didn't say anything. A butterfly fluttered its wings gently and flew to the sword that Yabai pointed at Shen You'er.
It is perched and docked.
When Shen Youer saw this butterfly, he couldn't help but think of a sentence -
"The butterfly still lives, but is extremely gentle."
so……
This is a sword without killing intent and not sharp.
It is a butterfly that can also perch, perched on a sword pointed at you.
Shen You'er put down the sword in his hand, Thuja also moved accordingly, sheathed the sword, and the butterfly flew away...
"That store?"
Shen You'er already knew which store it was, and when he thought about the person in the store, indeed, that person was very likely...
Thuja suddenly smiled and said, "Suddenly I remembered that I still had some unfinished clothes."
Shen You'er also said, "The clothes I bought for Qiqi were not suitable. I also want to go and meet the boss."
The two made an agreement and soon set off from Shen's house and went to the fabric store.
-
Shen Qiqi woke up from her dream. She had a bad dream...
She dreamed that something happened to her second sister. She seemed to be chased by someone and was covered in injuries.
Behind the second sister, there was a man holding a knife and laughing wildly. The man kept shouting, "Don't even think about escaping!"
"Come on!"
"Come and be my clothes hanger..."
"You can't escape!"
"You can't escape..."
Shen Qiqi suddenly stood up from the bed and said, "Second sister!"
Xie Jingyi heard Shen Qiqi's movements outside the door and pushed the door open. When he saw Shen Qiqi, there was only Shen Qiqi sitting on the bed, panting and sweating.
Shen Qiqi saw Xie Jingyi coming over and said, "Junior brother, could you please give me a glass of water?"
Xie Jingyi lowered his head and silently went to the table to pour water.
Shen Qiqi touched her head, sweat soaked her clothes, everything in the dream was still vivid in her mind...
Well, so scary...
Is this foreshadowing something?
Sister, is it possible...
What will happen to my sister?!
Shen Qiqi didn't dare to think about it. Xie Jingyi came over with water. He kept his head down and didn't look at Shen Qiqi.
Shen Qiqi didn't pay attention and just took the water. Her throat seemed to be stuck and her voice was hoarse, "Thank you."
Xie Jingyi said "Hmm". After Shen Qiqi drank the water, she raised her head and asked Xie Jingyi, "Do you, do you know where my second sister is now?"
Xie Jingyi shook his head, "The second young lady is no longer in the mansion."
If you are no longer in Fuzhong, where are you going?!
Shen Qiqi was still immersed in the nightmare she had just had, and she became more and more worried about her second sister.
But Shen Qiqi was "not idle" either. She looked at Xie Jingyi, who had his head lowered than usual, and asked, "Junior brother, what's wrong with your neck? Why do you keep your head lowered? Is it twisted?"
It just so happens that the third sister is going to bring that awesome doctor over. If the junior brother's neck is twisted, he can ask the third sister to help him take a look.
Xie Jingyi raised his head, looked forward, and said seriously, "Miss Qi, you are resting. As a servant and a man, I cannot put my eyes on you at will."
"Also, Miss Seven, please pay attention to this."
"Otherwise it will cause unnecessary trouble."
Shen Qiqi: "..." Wow, you people are really old-fashioned in their ideas. I'm well-dressed, there's nothing to see!
But after all, being in such a historical context, it was hard for Shen Qiqi to say anything.
She said, "I understand. I will pay attention next time. Thank you, junior brother, for reminding me."
After saying that, she gurgled and drank the water Xie Jingyi poured for her.
"If the second sister comes back, can you come over and talk to me again?"
Xie Jingyi looked at Shen Qiqi this time and took the cup from Shen Qiqi's hand, "Miss Qi, you seem to be paying special attention to the second lady. Is it because the second lady is investigating the case?"
Shen Qiqi nodded, "I just had a nightmare... I was scared to wake up by the nightmare."
"Is it related to the second lady?"
"Um!"
Shen Qiqi's eyes were wet. She folded her feet up in the quilt. Her hands were also put in the quilt at this time and placed on her knees. Her head rested on the quilt. The quilt wrapped Shen Qiqi. Qiqi showed her round little head outside, "She is being chased by bad guys, I'm very scared..."
Shen Qiqi's voice was different from usual, and she was really scared.
There was an almost undetectable tremor in her tone. That dream was very real to her, and she was very afraid that it would come true...
Moreover, because when she was reading the book before, the author did not clearly say who the murderer of this case was, so she didn't know who the murderer was, and she couldn't help her second sister investigate the case.
The murderer committed 10 crimes in total, and he killed 10 people!
There are currently less than 10 corpses found. Although it is a bit offensive to say this, it also shows from the side that there will still be some time before the murderer is caught...
Although nothing happened to the Shen family.
But now everything is unknown, and her second sister is serious about her work. Shen Qiqi feels that the second sister will not stop until the murderer is found. This is the same for everyone who is investigating the case.
But the closer they are to the truth, it also means that they are closer to the murderer. It is difficult to guarantee that Shen Youer will not be injured...
As an outsider, she could watch all this without emotion, but now, she is also a person in the book, she is a mortal, and she only hopes that her sisters can be safe!
