Chapter 522 Funeral
The child handed the Luban lock to Du Lai expressionlessly, "Daddy can't play with me. He said when I unlock it, when will he go home to accompany me."
Du Lai smiled and gently picked up the Luban lock from the child's hand.
For street magicians, things like Luban Lock and Jiulian Lianhuan are considered the basics among the basics and must be practiced.
Du Lai disassembled the Luban lock into parts in two or three times, put it back into the child's hands, and asked "kindly" again:
"Child, do you know what happened to this family and who died?"
This time, the child answered quickly: "Everyone knows that Li Zheng was beheaded last night, and Ma slept with the headless man all night. When he woke up this morning, he peed his pants. Are you ashamed? ?Are you ashamed? Such a big person still wets his pants!"
After saying these words, he made a face, turned around and ran away!
Du Lai watched the child run away, stood up thoughtfully, and said to his companion: "There are two people mentioned in this passage. One is Li Zheng, who had his head chopped off last night, and the other is Ma. She should be Li Zheng’s wife.”
"What is Li Zheng? His name?" Fu Miaoxue asked.
"It's what the village chief meant." Du Lai explained, "The chief of this village was beheaded last night."
Fu Miaoxue looked disgusted, "It's so bloody. I don't want to see a headless male corpse."
"This is interesting." Bai Youwei said slowly, thinking, "The husband was lying next to her, and his head was chopped off, but his wife was completely unaware of it. She didn't find out until the morning... It's strange. Such a thing as beheading, there is no movement. It must not be small, and it will spurt out a lot of blood. How could people sleeping in the same bed not notice it?"
Shen Mo said: "The murderer is either a local villager or the woman who carried the body last night. There will be no third case. Let's go in and take a look first."
They tried again to get into the house.
At the door, the host asked them: "Why are people offering condolences?"
Shen Mo said: "I would like to express my condolences to Li Zheng."
The other party respectfully stepped aside: "Dear guests, please come in."
With permission, they felt a little relieved.
Since this method works, then looking for other clues should also follow this pattern.
Shen Mo stopped pushing the wheelchair and frowned slightly.
Du Lai also stopped in front of the threshold with a solemn expression.
In front of the courtyard gate...that barrier still exists.
They can't get in.
why is that? I've obviously answered the host's question, why can't I get in?
Just as he was getting suspicious, he saw Fu Miaoxue crossing the threshold with brisk steps, grabbing Du Lai's arm out of habit, but it was all empty, and he couldn't help but look back -
She found that her other companions were all outside!
"Why don't you come in?" Fu Miaoxue asked in confusion.
Shen Mo, Bai Youwei and Du Lai all looked at her with complicated expressions, and at the same time realized a very, very simple common sense.
When you go to someone else's home to express condolences, you have to dress a little more carefully.
Based on plain colors, try to wear black, gray, hemp, or white.
Among them, Fu Miaoxue was the only one wearing all black.
Of course, Shen Mo's shirt is also black, but Shen Mo's problem is that it is a short-sleeved T-shirt. In ancient times, it was considered rude to show your arms when you went to someone else's home to express condolences.
Du Lai, on the other hand, was wearing a gray hoodie, but underneath he was patterned hip-hop pants.
Bai Youwei was wearing a white dress and a camel wool shawl.
So in the end, only Fu Miaoxue "passed".
"I don't want to go in alone!" Fu Miaoxue couldn't accept it. She just said she wouldn't see the headless man's body! Why not only did she have to watch it now, but why did she go in and watch it alone? ! !
no!
Absolutely not!
