Mu Jingchen took a sip by himself, and his expression of anticipation immediately turned into disgust.

"I really forgot to add salt."

"It's okay, it's the same now."

Huangfu Liyue opened the salt shaker, spooned some salt into the soup, stirred it evenly, and then spooned the soup to taste.

The saltiness is moderate, and the taste of the soup immediately improves a few degrees.

She brought the spoon to his mouth: "Try it again."

He took a sip, his disgusted expression eased a lot, and he boasted: "My craft is not bad."

"It's good to be able to make this according to the recipe, which shows that you are also very talented in cooking."

After being praised by her, he was immediately full of confidence, and said: "Then I will learn a few more dishes in the future and cook them for you every day."

"Then I'm lucky."

The two looked at each other and smiled, tasting the chicken soup leisurely, as if they were enjoying the most delicious food in the world.

After breakfast, Mu Jingchen took Huangfu Liyue out for a walk.

As soon as I opened the door, I saw a group of people watching the door.

"They dare to live in the haunted house, they are so brave!"

"I heard that the old woman got close to them when she was not arrested. They were called in by the police for questioning two days ago. Maybe these two people are with the old woman!"

"Sure, otherwise, how could the old lady agree to let them live here? Maybe they and the old woman murdered those who disappeared!"

The discussion among the onlookers became more and more intense, and Huangfu Liyue's expression turned a little ugly.

"Don't worry about them, let's go."

Mu Jingchen closed the door, took her hand, and walked through the crowd openly.

After they left, the onlookers did not disperse, but the discussions became more intense.

Cheng Cui got out of the crowd, looked at the backs of Mu Jingchen and Huangfu Liyue, squinted her eyes, and didn't know what she was thinking.

"Cheng Cui, the police arrested you for questioning two days ago, and they said they found a bloodstain in your hotel, didn't they?"

A kind old lady saw Cheng Cui and asked gossip.

The onlookers immediately turned their attention to Cheng Cui, wanting to know what happened to the blood in her hotel.

Seeing so many pairs of eyes staring at her, Cheng Cui immediately pretended to be the victim, and said with a look of displeasure: "Don't mention it, it's really bad luck. Clean it up!

At that time, the room was clean, not to mention blood stains, not even a speck of dust, who knew that when they moved out, there would be such filthy things inside.

Now people in our town dare not live here, as if I murdered those tourists, I really died unjustly! "

Although these words did not name names, anyone with a little sense could tell that she was implying that the bloodstain was a good thing done by Mu Jingchen and Huangfu Liyue.

"So, it was the couple who just joined forces with the old woman to kill him?"

In the face of the neighbors' guesses, Cheng Cui denied it again: "I didn't say that, don't guess wildly, or people will blame me at that time!"

"Cheng Cui, we are all old neighbors. Don't we know who you are? If you run a hotel alone, you will definitely not let the tourists cut off your money. There is only one explanation for this matter, and that is the young couple just now. What unreasonable things did the husband and wife do, which almost brought you down!"

"Yeah, they are still so close to the old woman, and live in the old woman's house, they must be together!"

Cheng Cui sighed.

"Oh, I'm sorry, I've been honest all my life, why did I get involved in this matter, since there is no business in this family, how can I live?"

As she spoke, she left the crowd with a sigh.

The neighbors in the neighborhood felt unworthy for her, and they all condemned Huangfu Liyue and the other two.

"I hope the police will quickly find clues and arrest these two people, otherwise everyone in our town will suffer!"

"Yeah, the most frightening thing is that those passengers are missing, and they don't know if they are still alive or have been killed."

"It's been so long, and they haven't left the town. If they were found alive, they must have been killed. Maybe the bodies have been disposed of."

"Ouch, that's really scary!"

……

Huangfu Liyue and Mu Jingchen went for a walk on the long street, not knowing what those people were saying behind their backs.

It wasn't until they returned to the homestay and saw the rotten leaves and stones that they realized the seriousness of the matter.

"Jingchen, those people seem to be prejudiced against us now."

Mu Jingchen opened the door, took a cleaning broom, and slowly cleaned the door.

Huangfu Liyue stepped aside to make room for him.

"Jingchen, why don't we explain to the neighbors here, lest they misunderstand and treat us as bad guys."

"If they could listen, they wouldn't be so prejudiced against that mother-in-law before."

Huangfu Liyue thought about it carefully, this is true.

Although the people here are enthusiastic, their thinking is too feudal. Once they decide on something, it doesn't make sense.

After Mu Jingchen finished cleaning the door, Huangfu Liyue was about to follow him in, but found Cheng Cui standing at the door of the hotel in front of him, knocking sunflower seeds and looking at them.

She and Cheng Cui made eye contact.

Cheng Cui spat the melon seeds aside and walked straight towards her.

"Hey, girl, you moved to live with the old woman again?"

"Ah."

Huangfu Liyue didn't say much, and raised her foot to enter the room.

Cheng Cui didn't shut up because of her indifferent attitude, but followed her.

"Girl, you and your husband are going to report me to the police. I don't blame you. Why do you still show me the face?"

Cheng Cui followed into the house.

Huangfu Liyue felt noisy, so she stopped and looked at her.

"Aunt Cheng, you know better than anyone why we reported you. The blood in that room was there before we moved in. You can fool the police but not us."

Cheng Cui seemed to be afraid of being overheard, so she quickly looked outside.

After confirming that there were no passers-by, he said, "Girl, you must speak with your conscience. How did I treat you when you lived in my place? It's fine if you are not grateful, but you still framed me and reported me?"

"One yard counts for one yard. When I lived in your place, you were really kind to me. I am very grateful to you, but I'm sorry, I can't blame you for the blood stains in that room, let alone open my eyes and talk nonsense."

Having said that, she couldn't help feeling curious.

"The police dogs are smelling the smell of missing passengers in that room, the blood is also from one of the passengers, right?

Aunt Cheng, I am very puzzled, what did you do to those passengers, and why did you do that? "

Although there is no evidence, she has already guessed all kinds of things in her heart.

There are not so many coincidences in the world, Cheng Cui must have some ulterior secret.
