Li Yao has been having a hard time lately.

He was now sitting in a carriage with Zed, one of Yang Ming's servants, and Zed was sitting across from him, with three or four travel boxes of different purposes in hand. This carriage is different from ancient China, it is a four-wheeled one, and the small window is outside the cornflower-colored sky.

Zede is too venomous, Li Yao naturally avoids talking to him, and sometimes even if he is scolded, he has to react for a long time to understand, not to mention organizing words to pay tribute to the other party or something, alas, it's just weak.

Listening, vocabulary, speaking, grammar, reading, and comprehension are obviously foreign languages that have been studied for so many years, but when I really want to recall, I can only think of some random things such as Yamei Butterfly!

Alas, the baby is bitter in his heart.

Crossing, I admit it, I admit it when I encounter the pit system, I also admit it, and I still want me to learn English again, this is really unbearable!

"Dog, dog, dog, dog, you are a pit for Lao Tzu to come out-"

As a high-tech system, it must be no problem to get a simultaneous translation, but this guy often pretends to be deaf and dumb, and basically only comes out when he has something to do.

The dog Dan'er didn't react as always, and Li Yao greeted all his relatives very thoughtfully in his heart, his expression was gloomy, and his hand on the edge of the seat was clenched tightly.

"What, diarrhea? Judging by your expression, it must have hurt a lot. Zede said with a strange concern.

This guy is like a cat with a bad temperament, always bored, likes to flirt with others, and once he gets someone else's main thing, he turns his head and pretends to be cold and disdainful, so awkward that he owes a beating.

"Thank you for your concern. He replied angrily, but Zed saw that he had a bad attitude and did not continue to speak.

There was silence in the carriage for a while, only the slight friction between the wheels and the wooden wheels gradually weakened with the ups and downs of the journey.

"Hey, can you tell me about the events that you had earlier, like, uh, how did you break the case*?"

Zed was casually fiddling with his cuffs: "Break, do you want to speak voice or French? ”

"The humiliation of being despised by a school bully when I was a student came back to my heart.

Zede rolled his eyelids, and when he saw his deflated expression, he was satisfied, and said:

"If you want to hear about the Marquis's experience, I can't sue you, but your understanding seems to be a little wrong, we are not solving the case, it is the job of the sheriff, the Marquis's actions are only out of interest, sometimes even if you know the reason, it is a kind of pastime to watch from the sidelines. ”

"Well, it seems that this time the task is more difficult than he imagined, and what Godan'er is proposing is to "solve the case", according to Zed, Yang Ming seems to be only keen on figuring it out, not solving it.

"I know that you professed nobles are interested in weird stories, but I think you'll experience it for yourself without telling me. Zed lifted the curtain and looked out the window, "The real people are more dangerous than you think, Mr. LongShank* and his land buying method have caused many people a headache, we are at our destination today, I can guarantee that something must happen in this house." ”

The carriage stopped as he had said, and Zed opened the door, placed the box next to it, and jumped.

Li Yao stepped down, and looked down to see gray and barren weeds and a path of disastrous color.

He looked up the road, and there was a gloomy masonry building, which was very old from the outside, with shaggy moss and deep green vines almost completely enveloping it, and the pair of fountains carved with cherubs in front of the house seemed to have been abandoned for a long time, and the statue's empty protruding eyes and stained and distorted laughter were almost chilling, and as he was looking, a bloated woman and a lightly footed servant came out, the woman's skirt was layered on top of each other, but the man was horribly emaciated, her gray-blue eyes were half-closed and sunk under her brow bones, and the hanging cheekbones and deep nasolabial folds gave her an indescribable lifelessness, which was in tune with the house behind her。

The servant took the box and went into the house lightly, and the groom led the horse away, and the woman conversed briefly with Yang Ming in a low voice, to the effect that they would spend the night at the inn. After a while the hostess led them into the house, and after walking through the arches of the hall, the interior of the building was still depressed, and Li Yao was placed in a spacious room with a high, narrow checkered window, in front of which he could look down on a lake in the courtyard.

If something doesn't happen here, even he doesn't believe it, this atmosphere, this scene, Li Yao concludes that if he sleeps well tonight, he will have to have a scream tearing the night sky (if it is in the animation, the camera will suddenly rise to shoot the sky), and then everyone will gather in a hurry, and then Conan will frown

Oh no, it's not Conan this time, it's Detective Li Yao!

While he was thinking, there were many pictures of solving the case flashing in his mind, although he had no actual combat experience, but everyone understands this routine: those who look like bad people will not be bad people, those who overreact will not be bad people, those who are suspected of old things will not be bad people, and their own people will not be bad people, those who seem to have nothing to do but have hidden feelings for many years are bad people.

That's right, that's it!

And when you encounter a bottleneck in reasoning, you should pay extra attention to the little things that come in horizontally, as well as clues such as the clues behind the sofa, so that a "I understand!" will be summoned!" lightning, and then the case came to light.

Li Yao was secretly happy with his wit, pacing back and forth in the room, when a waiter knocked on the door:

"Sir, it's time for dinner. ”

Oh, the kind of scene where a lot of guests gather at one table?

"Wait!" Li Yao opened the door violently and said to the waiter:

"Don't go yet, I'll ask you a few questions!"

"Oh yes sir. The waiter was a little confused, but he obediently dragged him into the room.

Li Yao stretched out his head and looked twice, cautiously closed the door, returned to the room, and asked the confused attendant:

"Hey, I'll ask you a few questions, and you'll have to answer me well. First of all, how many people are living here today?"

"Yes sir. Would you rather ask about the number of guests or the number of people?"

"Say it all. ”

"There are seven guests today, in addition to three cooks, five cooks, two grooms, nine porters, and doctors."

"Okay, okay, you can tell me about the guests specifically!" Anyway, those people should all have basic backgrounds, and they won't be murderers.

"You and your three companions, the bard next door, the two knights downstairs, and a distant nephew from the hostess's house, have come to have fun in the best season of your travels. ”

"Well, tell me about your master's situation again. ”

"Yes sir. My mistress, the widow of a nobleman, inherited the house, and she had always been frail and sickly, and had to rest at night, and no one could disturb her unless she showed up. ”

!!!

Quirky behavior is often an important clue!

Li Yao's eyes almost lit up: "Very good, and then what about her nephew?"

"That is a lively young man, speaking of which, this is also his first time in our county, so he feels very new to Yiqiē, sir, I have to inform the next guest to dine, you see?"

Li Yao is on the rise, so naturally he won't let him go: "It's okay, I'll go with you!"

The next thing to be informed was the bard next door to him, and after the waiter reminded him, someone soon opened the door, it was a man with this golden curly hair, his voice was very good, and there were bits and pieces of things hanging around his neck, Li Yao took the opportunity to look into his room, there were only a few books.

The next one is Zede, this guy was only wearing a thin shirt when he appeared, his wet hair was still dripping, rubbing his hair, looking lazy, and the big open neckline Li Yao didn't continue to look down, but the attendant was shocked, and ran away after a few simple explanations.

Li Yao, who was left in place: "?"

I remember that ancient Europe should have been quite open, and besides, they were all men, what could they have?

Zed looked at him inexplicably innocent, thought it was funny, and reached out with a hand with a little water and pinched his face.

Then the door slammed shut.

Damn, you're damn, you'll be dead the next time I catch you!

He walked downstairs angrily, still wondering about the attendant just now.

Why are you so surprised, could it be that guy was naked just now?

"Tsk, it's a bad taste to have something else in your head. The dog's voice suddenly sounded.

Li Yao almost fell down the stairs without being frightened, ashamed and angry: "Then can't you pick a good time to appear!"

Dog: "It's not that I only appeared when you had a dirty mind, but that you were all thinking when I appeared." ”

It makes so much sense that I can't argue with it

Although Goudan'er always plays tricks on him, he also knows how to accept it when he sees it: "There is a reason why that person was like that just now." ”

Li Yao's attention was really drawn to the past: "Why?"

As he spoke, he had already found the dining room, and there were not many people at the long table for the time being, and he didn't see the hostess, but there were three people he hadn't seen, presumably the nephew of the knight and the hostess, and the nephew was probably the red-haired one, and he saw him chattering and inquiring from a distance, with a curious expression.

"Because most people don't take a bath. Dogdaner replied.

"Oh" Li Yao was about to sit down and listen to what they were talking about, when suddenly he reacted incorrectly: "Wait, you mean"

"St. Joseph said: 'He was baptized in Christ Himself, so he did not need to bathe again.'" 'The Church tells the people that it is sinful to wash away the dust and dirt that God has given. Most people never take a shower, that's why the guy scares. ”

"Huh?!"

Dog Dan'er was as cool as ever: "So even if it's your own body, you should understand." ”

All the tenants have dinner and talk together, which should obviously be an important part of speculating on the suspect, but at this moment, Detective Li Yao resolutely decided-

It doesn't matter if he's a murderer or a robbery, go to the kitchen to get a bucket of water and take a shower!
