"However, if we want to explore the store, is it too dark? We'd better find a light source first." Song Zilian suggested.
There are street lights in the shape of antique lanterns on the long street, but the houses are completely dark to imitate nighttime.
"Then let's see if there are any lantern shops, incense shops or the like around."
Ji Xinyao's eyes wandered around for a long time before focusing on a coffin shop.
"Surely, the coffin shop also sells incense and candles, right?" Ji Xinyao asked Song Zilian.
"You'll know if you go in and take a look."
Song Zilian walked in front, pulled out the sword from his waist, and opened the door bolt.
\"Squeak\"
The wooden door opened in response, making a dull sound.
The two entered, and Song Zilian turned around and locked the door bolt.
"There is a lamp on the shrine." Ji Xinyao subconsciously grabbed Song Zilian's arm and pointed her finger towards the northwest corner.
Song Zilian followed her gaze, and sure enough he saw three pillars of incense candles placed high on the shrine, and two red candles next to them. Next to it, there was an electronic lantern hanging without the light on.
He took the lantern and found the button to turn on the light. This light source was enough to illuminate a radius of one meter.
"Let's go, where do you want to start checking first?"
"Wait a minute." Ji Xinyao made a stop gesture, walked to a half-opened and half-closed coffin, and saw a dummy lying inside, "There is actually a corpse in here."
"This is a coffin. Is there anything strange about a corpse inside?" Song Zilian asked her.
"This is a coffin shop, not Yizhuang. Why must the corpse be parked in the coffin shop? It means that the corpse itself is not suitable to be parked in Yizhuang. The ancients buried the body in peace, and returned the fallen leaves to their roots, so they parked the corpse in Yizhuang.
It is to allow those who cannot be buried temporarily to wait for their relatives to take them home, so the business of exorcising corpses has also emerged." Ji Xinyao analyzed.
"What if he is a local?"
"Then we should stop at home."
"Then what do you think?"
"Search first." Ji Xinyao said as she put her hand into the coffin, but Song Zilian quickly stopped him.
Even though it was just a dummy lying in a coffin at this late night, it looked quite scary.
"I'll do it." He pushed the coffin directly and checked the belongings carried by the body. "There's nothing. Are we overthinking it?"
Song Zilian almost stripped the dummy clean and turned it upside down.
"There is nothing on him, which makes it even more interesting." Ji Xinyao brought the lantern closer to the dummy and observed it carefully.
She was about to say something when suddenly, there was a knock on the door behind her.
With this weird scene, Ji Xinyao was suddenly frightened and hid in Song Zilian's arms unconsciously.
Song Zilian quickly protected her and patted her shoulder comfortingly.
If she were here alone, she would never react like this, but with Song Zilian here, she subconsciously felt that he could be relied on.
"It's okay, let's go to the door and see what's going on." Song Zilian took Ji Xinyao's hand and walked towards the door.
The cameraman also had a keen eye for a close-up of their joined hands.
The CP party was ecstatic on the barrage.
【I won’t say anything anymore, just leave it as it is.】
[All living beings suffer, but the CP I made is strawberry flavored.]
[Is the program team here? Can we add a male guest? If I don’t see the Xiexin couple tomorrow, I might die. 】
At this time, the two of them also walked to the door. Song Zilian let Ji Xinyao push him behind him and opened the door carefully.
The person who appeared at the door turned out to be Song Lucun.
Ji Xinyao stretched out her head.
"Why are you here?" she asked curiously.
She thought he was hanging around Ji Jingxue in the inn.
"I wanted to go out and search for evidence. I came over when I saw the light here. Did you find anything?"
Ji Xinyao nodded, pointed to the dummy in the coffin, and said calmly, "There is a corpse there. It is from the North Country. I don't know who killed it on the way. It is stored here. It will be disposed of after today."
Song Zilian turned around in shock. She didn't tell him so much about her discovery just now. When Song Lucun came, she stood out.
As a result, Song Zilian felt a little unhappy in his heart.
He deliberately stood between the two of them and said to Song Lucun, "This street is so big, let's search for clues separately to save each other's efforts."
"This is not possible." Ji Xinyao immediately rejected Song Zilian's idea, "I search every store. You just said you would sacrifice your life to accompany a gentleman. Do you regret it now?"
She didn't notice it herself, but there was something more or less coquettish in her tone.
Song Lucun looked at them with more doubts in his heart.
Risking one's life to accompany a gentleman? Are they familiar enough to say such a thing?
[Song Lucun: Suspicion +1%, total mission progress: 20%]
Ji Xinyao couldn't help but be surprised when she saw the data fluctuations in front of her.
Could it be that he was suspicious because of his interaction with Song Zilian? Judging from their relationship, this is indeed possible.
Isn't this God helping her complete the task? Then Ji Xinyao had an idea and said more confidently, "Let's three together. If the three cobblers are better than Zhuge Liang, we will definitely be able to find a lot of clues."
"No." The two men asked almost in unison.
"Why?" she asked.
The two looked at each other.
"I don't think this is appropriate. After all, the prince has a high position, so how can he do such a low-level thing? I can do this kind of sliding door and lock picking with you alone. We are all people in the world, and we don't stick to trivial matters.
Don't bother the prince." Song Lucun directly gave Song Zilian a high hat.
Song Zilian did not dare to show weakness, "Slid through the door and pick the lock? Are you able to do it? You just knocked on the door and came in. This time we are lucky. There are no waiters guarding the first floor of the store. If you knock on the door next time
, if someone misunderstands you, report it directly to the official, who will save Ji Xinyao?"
He didn't say who would save you, but directly used
