Chunxi Street is not far from Zhenshan Residence, and the two of them walked there in about ten minutes.
It’s just a good time to take a walk to eat.
It gets dark early in winter. At this time, the shops on the street have hung up lanterns, and most pedestrians have gone home.
Arriving in front of the Gu Mansion, Gu Xueting stepped forward and clicked the bronze animal head ring on the door. A loud dog barking immediately sounded inside. Not long after, a one-armed man in his forties opened the door and saw Gu Xueting outside. , a burst of surprise: "Your Majesty! Come in quickly."
As soon as the two of them entered, a **** dog rushed over and pounced on Gu Xueting, licking his face with its hot tongue, very passionately.
“Haha, Xiao Hei still remembers the prince.” Shi Hu, the one-armed man said.
Gu Xueting hugged Xiao Hei's neck and avoided its passionate licking. Shen Yizhi looked on with a smile.
Shi Hu noticed her and was shocked when he saw her face. He quickly guessed her identity, "I guess this is the princess, right?"
Gu Xueting finally calmed Xiao Hei down and said to Shen Yi: "Zhizhi, this is Uncle Shi, a warrior under my command before. Unfortunately, his arm was bitten off by a monster in a battle."
Shen Yizhi called "Uncle Shi".
Shi Hu waved his hands hurriedly: "But you can't do that. Princess, just call me Lao Shi. You haven't eaten yet, right? I'm going to make something to eat."
Gu Xueting stopped him, "Uncle Shi, there's no need to work anymore, Zhizhi and I have already eaten. You can go and have a rest."
Shi Hu scratched the back of his head and said, "Okay, if anything happens, just call me. Xiao Hei, let's go."
He tried to take Xiao Hei away so as not to disturb the prince and his wife, but Xiao Hei stayed at Gu Xueting's legs, refusing to leave and whining.
It looks like a coquettish child, which really doesn’t match its majestic image.
Shen Yizhi was amused and touched its head. Xiaohei glanced at her. Although it was the first time he saw this woman, her breath smelled very good.
When Shen Yizhi took out a basin of meat bones, Xiao Hei immediately abandoned Gu Xueting, lowered his head and ate the meat bones with relish.
Shi Hu smelled the strong aroma emanating from the meat bones and felt a little greedy.
Shen Yizhi took out a few more side dishes suitable for drinking, including braised beef, pig ears, peanuts, glutinous rice sausage, and a pot of wine. "Uncle Shi, I made this myself. You can try it."
If she was saying goodbye, Shi Hu might not accept it, but these things in front of her touched Shi Hu's heart, "How can this be so embarrassing..."
"Uncle Shi, eat slowly, Zhizhi and I are going to rest first." Gu Xueting led Shen Yizhi to the main courtyard.
In the house, the furniture and furnishings are very Gu Xueting's style, simple and restrained, with solemn colors. Because no one has lived there for a long time, it looks very deserted.
Shen Yizhi immediately started setting up, and Gu Xueting was also helping.
Not long after, the style of the house changed drastically, from cold and dull to soft and warm.
Shen Yizhi arranged a bouquet of flowers, took a few steps back to admire it, it felt perfect, and wanted Gu Xueting to praise him. Turning around, he saw him sitting on the couch, looking down at something, his body seemed to be frozen. Average.
She walked over and what he was looking at was the order sheet that Mei You gave him.
She took the list over, read it over, and focused on the place where she signed, Li Si.
A very common and carefree name.
She seriously doubted that this was a pseudonym.
Perhaps he is an errand boy.
“Once we find this Li Si, we can find out the person behind him.” Shen Yizhi took out a tracking talisman, input spiritual energy to activate it, and the tracking talisman floated in mid-air.
Then she burned the order form, and the burning smoke was absorbed by the tracking charm next to it. The tracking charm spun around in mid-air, finally figured out the direction, and flew out of the window.
"Hurry, let's follow!" Shen Yizhi pulled Gu Xueting to catch up.
Following the tracking talisman, the two of them came to Yizhuang, a place dedicated to parking bodies of unknown origins and unclaimed bodies.
There was only one old man guarding the righteous village. Because the weather was too cold, he was huddled in the house warming himself by the fire. There was an old yellow dog lying next to him.
The arrival of Shen Yizhi and Gu Xueting was silent, and the old man didn't notice it at all, but the old yellow dog suddenly raised its head, seeming to be aware of it, but in the end it lay back down.
The two entered the morgue and found Li Si's body accurately.
Shen Yizhi opened the white cloth and took a look, and concluded: "He was drowned, and the time was no more than ten days."
This man also smelled strongly of alcohol.
Normally, even if a man is examined, he will only conclude that he fell into the water and drowned after being drunk. But this man placed an order at Zhenshan House and fell into the water and died. Who can believe this coincidence?
Unsurprisingly, it was the person behind the killing, and the purpose was naturally to silence him.
Now, things are a bit tricky. After all, they can't burn Li Si to collect the breath left by the killer. What's more, after so many days, the breath left by the killer has probably dissipated completely.
While Shen Yizhi was thinking, Gu Xueting suddenly pulled her back a few steps.
"What's wrong?" Shen Yizhi followed his gaze and was shocked.
I saw a dark figure squatting under the wooden shelf where Li Si's body was placed. To be precise, it was a ghost.
The ghost of Li Si.
Unexpectedly, his soul actually stayed near the body.
Shen Yizhi tried to communicate with him to see if he could get information about the killer, but he just squatted there motionless with a blank expression.
It seems that communication is impossible.
Shen Yizhi couldn't help but sigh. I thought there was a turning point, but in the end my happiness was in vain.
At this moment, Xie Wanxiang's request came from the nightmare bead on her wrist, "Zhizhi, can I come out?"
Xie Wanxiang has been practicing in the Nightmare Pearl since she received the ghost cultivation technique presented by Shen Yizhi. Now that she has achieved some success, she wanted to come out for some fresh air.
Of course, I had to tell Shen Yizhi before I came out, otherwise it would be embarrassing if I accidentally bumped into some R-rated scene.
Shen Yizhi felt happy, how could she forget Xie Wanxiang! Maybe she can find a way to communicate with Li Si's soul.
As soon as Xie Wanxiang came out, she found that the surroundings were full of corpses, especially Li Si, whose dignity was soaked in blisters, which really frightened her, and she hurriedly hid behind Shen Yizhi.
Shen Yizhi: “…”
Sister, aren’t you a ghost? Why are you still afraid of corpses?
She probably acted too obviously. Xie Wanxiang saw it and muttered: "Although I am a ghost, I have never dealt with a corpse, so naturally I am afraid."
She spoke quite confidently.
Shen Yizhi pointed under the wooden shelf and said, "This man's name is Li Si. See if you can get anything out of him."
"What do you want to know?"
