The fake supernatural drama had become a real murder drama. The trio who had originally planned to cause trouble did not plan to mess around anymore.

It was rare for them to follow Li Xunhuan out of the crime scene and go back to their own homes to look for their mothers.

There was a murder in Shuo Zhou City. The Long Dragon was not a famous gang in Jianghu, so the matter naturally fell into the hands of the authorities. However, half a month had passed.

The constables did not find anything. Gradually, news of the tragic death of the victim spread among the people, causing the west side of the city to be in a state of panic.

The students in the school would also talk about the murder case in private, but the trio who faced the murder scene kept their mouths shut about it.

One day a month later, Lu San Egg, who was like a sick chick, took the initiative to stop his other two friends.

He told them one thing. He found the murderer.

The person who killed the leader of the Long Dragon Gang..,

Was the person in the alley who sold food for a living..,

Had a good temper and often took care of other people's children.

On the day Lu San Egg found the murder weapon..,

The old man even touched his head with a kind face.

Lu San Egg stuttered as he recounted the ins and outs of the matter. Li Yue had goosebumps all over her body when she heard it. When Lu San Egg finished speaking, she could not help but hug her arm and tremble. "Then what are you going to do now?"

"I... don't know... I think..,

Even if the dead leader of the Long Dragon Gang was not a good person,

But..,

The truth should not be covered in dust. "Lu San Egg spread his hands in the air,

Hesitation and dilemma appeared in his eyes. "But... that old man, he is not a bad person. I... what should I do?"

Zhu Er and Lu San Egg in the trio were children. Zhu Er could not answer Lu San Egg's question. Li Yue, the only psychological adult, touched her chin and asked Lu San Egg a question:

"Third Egg, what do you want to do the most right now?"

"… Restore the truth."

"Then it's over."

Li Yue patted Lu San Egg's shoulder. Her tone was full of vicissitudes that did not match her age. "Don't think too much about everything. As long as it's not a crime like murder or arson, don't worry about it. Just follow your heart and do it first. It's that simple."

Lu San Egg looked at Li Yue as if he was seeing her for the first time. After a long time, he let out a sigh that was beyond his age.

"Yes, I understand."

A few days later, Li Yue heard from the students that the murder case had been solved. She patted Third Dan Lu's chest, who was in low spirits, and gave him a thumbs up. Third Dan Lu gave her a dry smile in return.

From that day onwards, there was at least one murder case every month in Shuo Zhou City, which had always been safe.

In every murder case, more or less, Lu San Egg's shadow would appear. He was either a witness to the murder case or the first person to find the deceased.

At the end of the murder case, the murderer was usually Lu San Egg's close neighbor or distant relative. Later on, it even extended to the school's sweeping aunty.

Li Yue, who knew the cause and effect of the case, felt that she was not living in a martial arts world, but in a metaphysical disaster drama.

Lu San Egg definitely had some kind of wonderful relationship with Kim Moichi and Edogawa Minan!

The suspense murder drama continued until the New Year. Lu Sandan was so obsessed with the belief that there was only one truth that he could not extricate himself from. During the New Year holidays, he did not even see him. Zhu Er had collected a pile of old books on ancient mechanisms from somewhere and was unwilling to go out every day.

Li Yue's plan to have a snowball fight with her friends during the winter was completely ruined. She had no choice but to live with a stack of calligraphy on her desk that was taller than her.

No matter how depressed she was, she still had to celebrate the Chinese New Year.

Because Li Xunhuan was obviously not in the right state when he first arrived in Shuo Zhou, Li Yue's first Chinese New Year after transmigrating was incomparably dull. Don't talk about receiving New Year's money, she didn't even hear a "Happy Chinese New Year" or anything like that.

This winter, Tanhua Lang had more or less gained some popularity. Uncle Fu could also normally buy New Year's goods. The house in Shuo Zhou City was not big enough, so everyone went to a house in the suburbs to celebrate the Chinese New Year.

Li Yue originally wanted to tinker with some new food, but as it was nearing the Chinese New Year, Uncle Fu gave most of the servants in the house a holiday. She was too embarrassed to bother them.

After pondering for a while, she had no choice but to seek the help of Tie Chuanjia, who was an all-rounder at home. Tie Chuanjia followed the blueprint she gave him and used his inner strength to create a hot pot. He even sliced some thin beef and mutton rolls for emergencies.

In this era, chili had not yet spread to the Central Plains, so naturally, it was not available outside the Great Wall. Li Yue pulled Tie Chuanjia out of the kitchen and found a lot of pepper, ginger, and dogwood. She prepared the condiments for the hot pot by herself.

On Chinese New Year's Eve, it snowed heavily. Li Yue was able to eat spicy hot pot as she wished. Li Xunhuan unexpectedly liked the taste very much. He even drank a few cups of wine. When the hot pot was served, the two ate until they were full before they put down their chopsticks.

When people are full, it is easy to feel sleepy. Li Yue gritted her teeth and stayed up with Uncle Tie and Uncle Fu until dawn.

Big Li And Little Li was happy, but unfortunately, the two of them forgot that they were the type of people who were delicate and had never eaten such spicy and spicy food before. Therefore, on the first day of the Chinese New Year, the two of them had problems with their digestive systems and directly lay down.

They lay down until the fifth day of the Chinese New Year. During this time, there were several heavy snowfalls. Fortunately, the two of them did not have any relatives or elders in Shuo Zhou City. They also did not have a deep relationship with the neighbors, so they did not need to go to the door to visit.

On the fifth day of the Chinese New Year, the snow stopped. Li Yue and Li Xunhuan were also allowed to get out of bed and walk around by Tie Chuanjia. The two of them were bored to death. One of them wanted to go to Shuo Zhou City to play with her friends, while the other wanted to go to the tavern in the city to drink. Neither of them wanted to stay in the house.

Tie Chuanjia was worried, so he personally drove Big Li And Little Li to Shuo Zhou City.

Perhaps it was because of the heavy snowfall, but this year's winter was particularly cold. The northwest wind blew in the wilderness, and Li Yue felt scared just by hearing the wind.

She still did not have any internal energy, so before leaving, she wrapped herself in several layers of clothes, but she still felt cold. Fortunately, Tie Chuanjia carefully prepared a hand warmer for her. Otherwise, Li Yue would not have the courage to go out.

Even with the protection of the cotton-padded clothes and hand warmer, Li Yue still could not help but lean closer to the person who came in third when she sat in the carriage.

Li Xunhuan looked at the little girl who was wrapped up like a New Year's doll and could not help but laugh in his heart.

The road to Shuo Zhou City was particularly bumpy and difficult to travel because of the snow and ice. The curtains of the carriage trembled and revealed a small gap. Through the gap, Li Yue could see that between the sky and the earth, there was a small moving black dot.

Because the distance was too far, she could not tell whether the black dot was a person or an animal. The cold wind blew and she did not have the energy to think about it. She hugged the hand warmer and moved closer to Li Xunhuan. Tanhua Lang reached out and touched her head.

On the fifth day of the Chinese New Year, all the shops in Shuo Zhou City opened on time. Li Xunhuan did not have to worry about not being able to find a tavern to drink.

The one who was worried was Li Yue. She did not make an appointment with her friends in advance. She did not know if she should go find Lu San Egg and Zhu Er to play. She could only follow Li Xunhuan and Tie Chuanjia into the tavern.

As a result, she did not sit in the tavern for long before she heard the customers talking about something. The center of the topic was the murder in the secret room that happened on the first night of the New Year. She twitched her mouth and completely extinguished the thought of going to find her friends.

It was probably because the murders that happened every few days had trained the people of Shuo Zhou City. When the customers talked about the murderer's method of killing, they were quite excited. There was no trace of the fear that they had a few months ago when they were talking about the death of the Long Dragon Gang Leader.

Tie Chuanjia was worried that Li Yue would be scared to hear about such a horrible murder at such a young age. Just as he was about to stand up and stop the customers, Li Yue pulled on his sleeve and shook her head. She turned her gaze and glanced at a young boy on the street. She could not help but be slightly startled.

The young boy was someone she had met once before. He was the boy who had set up a stall in Xi City to sell wild animals. He was a bit taller than a few months ago, and he had also lost a lot of weight. He was wearing thin clothes that were too thin for this season. He was expressionless as he walked forward with a furry ball in his hand.

Li Yue instinctively felt that the young man might need help. She greeted Tie Chuanjia and ran out of the tavern with her short legs. Before her hand could touch the young man's back, she was grabbed by the young man. The young man's palm was burning hot.

The young boy's brows furrowed and then relaxed. He seemed to have recognized the girl in front of him who was wrapped into a ball, but he did not let go.

Li Yue did not feel embarrassed at all. She smiled and said to the boy:

"Happy New Year ~"

"There's nothing to be happy about. I don't like New Year's."

"Eh?

But it's freezing and snowing at New Year's. "

Li Yue regretted her words as soon as they left her mouth. Based on the boy's attire and behavior, her words were equivalent to "why not eat minced meat". Just as she was about to apologize for her slip of the tongue, the boy let go of her hand and explained seriously:

"I only know that snow is detestable. Not only does it make people cold, but it also causes plants and fruits to wither, birds and animals to go extinct, and it makes people hungry.

In the wilderness, wind, rain, frost, and snow are all my enemies. So, I don't like winter, and I don't like New Year's when it snows and freezes. "

"… I'm sorry."

"It's not your fault. Why are you apologizing?"

"Uh," Li Yue was at a loss for words. She could only change the topic. "What's that in your hand?"

"It's a fox cub. It's hard to find food in winter. Wild animals will abandon their smallest and weakest cubs."

The boy held the little fox in his hands. Something flashed in his eyes. "I want to sell it, but it doesn't look like it will live for long. No one is willing to buy it."

"I … I have money. I'll buy it."
