This wasn't something that Ai Fuli was boasting about, this was something that everyone knew. The ancestor simply asked a silly question.
Ai Fuli thought for a while, "He likes to drink wine, he likes to drink before he goes to sleep the most."
Jiang Shiyu: "When is the lamp being extinguished?"
Jiang Shiyu thought for a while, then asked, "Is the servant who extinguished the lights here?"
Ai Fuli laughed, "Dead."
"How did he die?"
"I'm so scared."
"Huh?" The ancestors thought they heard wrong.
Ai Fuli said again, "I was scared to death. How can you not be afraid when a living person has suddenly disappeared in the middle of the night? "
Jasmine shook the goosebumps on her arms.
However, Jiang Shiyu felt that something was wrong, "It didn't disappear in front of him, that is to say, it disappeared. He will at most think that your father went out, why does he think that a living person disappeared?
Ai Fuli praised: "I have my own suspicions too, so I have been investigating this matter for the past few days."
Jiang Shiyu asked, "Then did you manage to find anything?"
Ai Fuli threw up her hands, "I just returned, I met you guys. I've told you what I know. "
Jiang Shiyu frowned, "There aren't many people on the continent that can beat your father. So, it went back. "
This was a dead end, and they could not solve it. It was also strange that the first person to be discovered was actually dead.
"Are the others dead?" Jiang Shiyu asked Ai Fuli again.
Ai Fuli was startled, "I didn't ask about that."
Although Jiang Shiyu and the others entered the palace in the name of people from the Eastern Continent, there were many things that were not convenient to do. Now that they had followed Ai Fuli, things became much easier.
With Ai Fuli's order, her men went to find the first person that day.
Not long later, a dozen or so people stood before them.
Ai Fuli sat on top while Jiang Shiyu and her party of seven stood at the side.
Ai Fuli asked, "Is it just these people?"
The attendant replied, "Yes, these are all the first ones to discover this. Regardless of whether they are on duty or not, they have all been called over."
Ai Fuli nodded in satisfaction.
"All of you, tell me what happened that night." Ai Fuli casually pointed to a servant standing to the left.
The attendant looked rather young, and his body trembled as he said, "Yes, Princess. That night, I was in charge of extinguishing the lights. In the middle of the night, I must have already gone to sleep, so I quietly entered the hall to extinguish the lights. When I entered the great hall, I thought it was strange, because … " She sneaked a glance at Ai Fuli.
Ai Fuli frowned, "Just say what's on your mind, don't stutter."
"Because when I entered the hall, I would always hear the sound of snoring and sometimes the sound of grinding of teeth. However, when I entered that night, I didn't hear anything. At that time, it was very strange, but when I thought about it later on, I realized that it was missing. "
"I went to the inner hall to extinguish the light, but who would've thought that there was no one on the bed?" I went to the inner hall to extinguish the light, but there was no one on the bed. So I called softly, but no one answered. I then felt that the situation was not good and immediately went up to report it. "
The findings of over a dozen people were all about the same, and when one of them answered, Jiang Shiyu looked at Ai Fuli. Ai Fuli understood.
That person was left behind, feeling that what he said was wrong and anxious.
Ai Fuli said in a serious tone: "Someone is asking you a question later, answer truthfully."
Jiang Shiyu took a step forward, "Did you just say that you heard footsteps when you entered?"
After being warned by Ai Fuli, the person thought for a bit, "Yes, I heard it."
Jiang Shiyu: "How are you so sure that what you heard were footsteps?"
The man said anxiously, "I don't care about the extinguishing of the lamp. Generally, when footsteps are lost in the hall, it means that I can go in and extinguish the lamp. So, I won't miss a single step."
"Then what you mean is that the footsteps aren't that of an outsider." Jiang Shiyu stared at him.
Because that person was left alone, he was already a little afraid. Being glared at by Jiang Shiyu with such a vicious gaze, she said while shaking her teeth, "Yes, absolutely not. From the beginning to the end, there is only one person in the hall."
"Tell me about that night." That night, I heard no footsteps from inside and entered the hall, but when I got close to the lamp, footsteps sounded again. I looked outside in shock, but there was no one there. Then I went to extinguish the light and stole a glance, but I didn't see anyone. Thinking of the footsteps again, I chased after him. I didn't see anyone for a long time before I reported it. "
Jiang Shiyu nodded, Ai Fuli indicated that he could go now, the man was so scared that he was about to cry, and quickly ran away.
Jiang Shiyu pondered, "Could it be that they ran out themselves?"
They all felt that there was some information hidden within what that person had just said, but they couldn't figure it out immediately.
Their investigation seemed to have reached a stalemate.
With no other choice, they bade farewell to Ai Fuli and returned to the inn. Although the Crete had approved of their decision to investigate, they could not stay in the palace.
They were surprised when they entered the inn. For a long time, there were only a few customers inside the store, but now, the interior was filled with people who were chatting merrily while they did not understand what was going on.
When the boss saw them enter, he called out to them, "Come here, I've left some food for you."
The ancestor laughed and said, "This is the first time I've come back for a meal in just a few days."
The boss was too lazy. After he provided shelter, he let them do the cooking themselves, and did not provide any food. It was a huge difference from what he had said previously.
The ancestor pointed at the lively atmosphere in the inn. "Boss, what's going on?"
"Ah, this, didn't the royal family disappear? King gave the order and all the people from Crete who were outside immediately returned. All these people are people who don't live in the Crete, the moment they return, they would come here to squeeze. " The boss laughed: "After all, I'm at Minos's number one inn."
The ancestor laughed twice, "Minos is just an inn."
The boss also laughed, "What do you mean, brat?"
Seeing that there were too many people down there, the seven of them took their utensils and went upstairs to eat.
They gathered in Jiang Shiyu's room.
Shen Er held up the tableware, eating heartily, "Eat, eat quickly, eat till you're done, interact a little, just now in the palace, there were many words that suffocated me to death. If I don't say it now, I'll forget it. "
The ancestor nodded. "I also want to say something. The next time you enter the palace, you must have some confidence in yourself. "
After they finished eating, they decided to guess who would wash the dishes.
Jiang Shiyu was defeated once again.
Other than a room, everything else in the inn was done by themselves.
