Chapter 18 The Funeral Hall Couple is Real!
[Tsk, Tang Xi looks cool, but I didn't expect her to be so cunning.]
Why do I feel like she doesn't want Yu Cinian to be near Lin Sui?
[Tangxi: You stinky man, don't even think about getting your hands on my wife!]
[The orange is confirmed! The funeral couple is real!]
[No, Yu Cinian, what are you regretting?]
Please stop forcing my head down, I'm easily scared...
In the corner were piles of sealed cotton wadding and blankets. Everyone took a shower first, and then busily began to make the beds, except for Si Xingran, who stood still.
Yu Cinian glanced at his handbag, which could only hold clothes, and asked considerately, "I have extra sheets and duvet covers, do you want them?"
These words were meant to be kind, but Si Xingran shuddered, her eyes filled with wariness: "No! No need! I'll just sleep like this!"
The overreaction left Lin Sui bewildered.
She held up a brand new bed sheet she had just taken out, looking bewildered: "Then you probably don't have this one either..."
"Yes! Who said I don't want it?!" Si Xingran strode over, snatched the bed sheet, and stuffed it into her arms.
Lin Sui: “…”
Yu Cinian looked at them and smiled, her eyes crinkling: "What a pity."
Si Xingran's lips twitched.
It's a pity that this madman is gone; it's a pity that another chance to kill him was missed.
However, when he saw that Lin Sui had given him a festive bright red floral bed sheet, he suddenly felt like he would rather die...
But in the end, he still laid it down, only complaining, "Your taste must have come from a dung beetle, it stinks!"
Lin Sui, slowly making the bed: "..."
Buy one get one free and free shipping for just 9.9 yuan, what more could you ask for?
It was already evening when they finished tidying up. Xia Juntao came over and knocked on the door: "I cooked a pot of porridge, would you like to have some with me?"
No one would refuse food, except for Yu Cinian.
Just before Lin Sui left, she saw him take an old book out of his suitcase and lean against the window to read it.
She took a closer look and discovered that it was actually a Buddhist scripture.
The kitchen is in the backyard, and it's a large stove. They not only cook porridge, but also serve it with pickled vegetables—perfect for summer.
When the group arrived, Lin Siyao's team members were all sitting around her with bowls, chatting and laughing, creating a relaxed and harmonious atmosphere.
But Lin Sui vaguely remembered that Wen Ge had only spoken to Yu Cinian since she appeared, and was somewhat indifferent to others.
Just one afternoon later, he disregarded his image and squatted down next to Lin Siyao, chatting and laughing with her.
It seems the female lead's reputation for being incredibly popular is well-deserved.
Wow, our darling Yao Yao is definitely the group's favorite!
Who wouldn't love a smart and beautiful girl? So, Da Ge, I allow you to smile at her, and I'll try my best not to be jealous (T ^ T)
[Seriously, is she really just a little idol who debuted through a talent show? She actually found the haunted house using deduction alone! My whole family is shocked!]
[Hilarious! If you hadn't told me, I would have thought she was a detective.]
Lin Sui was the first to come out of the house. As soon as Sharp Little Monster saw her, he couldn't help but mock her: "We're not even on the same team. How dare some people come here to freeload?"
"Huh, you're not letting me eat?" Si Xingran followed Lin Sui leisurely, raising an eyebrow at him. "You're quite possessive of your food."
The sharp-tongued little monster's face darkened, but he dared not retort due to his status and relationship with Yu Cinian. In the end, he managed to stammer out, "I wasn't talking about you."
There was still a lot of furniture left in the haunted house. Si Xingran glanced at him, dragged over a chair, wiped it clean, and placed it behind Lin Sui: "Captain, please sit down. I'll go and bring you some 'free food'."
He spoke extremely loudly, as if afraid that others wouldn't hear him.
Sharp Little Monster realized that he was supporting Lin Sui, and seeing Tang Xi's dark blue eyes staring straight at him, he reluctantly shut his mouth.
Si Xingran winked at Lin Sui: "Are you touched?"
I don't know if it's about getting rid of that fly, the Sharp Little Monster, or about bringing her water and food, or both.
Lin Sui sat down casually: "Good job, keep up the good work."
Si Xingran was taken aback, then laughed in exasperation: "You're quite good at taking advantage of situations."
Even so, he resigned himself to his fate and went into the kitchen.
Uh...are you sure they're not a couple?
[Heartbreaking couple, anyone want to invest?]
[Heartbreak can't be a tragic ending, can it? He might as well be called Stalin!]
Seeing Si Xingran diligently bringing rice to Lin Sui, Lin Siyao felt a pang of sadness in her heart.
Compared to the sharp little monster and Si Xingran, she was completely outclassed in every aspect. Her pleasant mood, which had just been because she was the focus of the team, couldn't help but become irritable again.
She knew her emotions were off, but she just couldn't accept this feeling of being out of control.
Si Xingran, who had previously looked down on her, was now so protective of a complete stranger, as if Lin Sui had somehow stolen what should have been hers...
It seems the murder needs to happen sooner rather than later.
Lin Siyao lowered her eyes, concealing the darkness within them. When she looked up again, she asked seemingly casually, "By the way, Zhou Ming, you're from Lotus Village. Do you know how that little girl died? Was she really killed by her mother?"
"Hey, how would I know?" Sharp Little Monster said nonchalantly. "When she died, our family had moved out more than a year ago. I don't even remember who she was, let alone how she died."
"And in my memory, this family should only have one grandson. Her grandmother would take her grandson out every day to chat with people."
Lin Siyao frowned and said, "You don't remember? That's troublesome."
"You also think this is important?" Duan Xuchi's gaze was deep, with a hint of inquiry.
From the afternoon onwards, he discovered that the girl seemed to possess extraordinary insight, with a keenness no less than that of a seasoned criminal investigator.
Even he couldn't be 100% sure which way to go when faced with a desolate village overgrown with weeds, but Lin Siyao walked without hesitation, as if... she had been there before.
What surprised him even more was that Lin Siyao had deduced his identity as a criminal police officer after he had only asked the villagers a few questions.
However, ordinary people are not required to reveal their information, and he had not mentioned a single word about his profession before this.
Lin Siyao nodded with a smile: "I think the key to figuring out the truth behind the haunting of Lotus Village is the death of the little girl."
"Don't you remember?" Xia Juntao, who had been silent all along, suddenly stared at the sharp-tongued little monster and asked, "Then do you remember why your family moved away back then?"
The sharp-tongued little monster said nonchalantly, "Maybe my parents had some kind of premonition?"
"And what about you? You don't remember either?" Xia Juntao stared at Xiao Jin again.
Xiao Jin was taken aback, then smiled and said, "I'm not from Lotus Village, and I've never heard of this."
Upon hearing this, Xia Juntao gripped his chopsticks tightly, as if he were trying his best to suppress something.
Lin Siyao took in this scene without making a sound.
Lin Sui overheard their conversation. Upon hearing Xiao Jin's words, she gave a cold, curving smile.
She glanced over there, her gaze suddenly settling on Xia Juntao's face.
She had previously thought Xia Juntao had the appearance of longevity, but now he was shrouded in an aura of death.
Lin Sui frowned and did some calculations, then was surprised to find that while she could predict what would happen to him, she couldn't predict who would be involved in his death.
Is it because we're waiting for the female lead to solve the case?
Lin Sui looked at the rice that Xia Juntao had brought and cooked in her hand. Just as he was about to go back inside, she called out to him, "Uncle, I'm going out in a bit. Do you want to come with me?"
"Me?" Xia Juntao didn't think they were close enough to go out together.
Yu Cinian, who had arrived in the backyard at some point, asked, "Why are you looking for him? Aren't you taking me with you?"
Her tone sounded somewhat aggrieved.
Lin Sui turned around and saw Yu Cinian carrying his hiking backpack, clearly ready to go out.
Tangxi and Luxiang were also watching her.
