Quick Travel: The host must die in every plane

By the way, oil lamp!

In ancient times, there were no things like matches and lighters that could be carried around to light a fire, and there were no things like flashlights for lighting.

In ancient times, the most commonly used thing besides candles was probably the oil lamp, which could both light fire and illuminate.

The wax oil formed by burning candles is easy to distinguish. This oil is obviously not wax oil, so the crime tool should be an oil lamp.

The main source of lamp oil in oil lamps is animal fat or vegetable oil. Most people use animal fat with a lot of impurities, but wealthy families like the Xue family use ointment with special spices.

If we can find out what category this oil belongs to, we should be able to narrow down the scope of suspicion.

Moreover, Su Ye also noticed that the oil on the ground had a special aroma, which smelled quite familiar.

If the source of the aroma could be identified, the person who set the fire would have no way of hiding.

She carefully collected the oil on the ground and prepared to take it back to someone for a closer appraisal.

By the time she finished everything and returned home, it was already dark.

It gets dark quickly this season, and people in the Xue family usually finish their meal early and go to bed to rest.

Su Ye was worried that he would wake up Xue Jili if he went back at this time, so he planned to go to the guest room to deal with it all night.

Unexpectedly, when she walked to the door of the courtyard, she found that the lights in the room were still on.

At this time, Xue Jili was still awake.

She tiptoed into the room. The table was covered with food, which still looked uneaten.

Are you waiting for her to come back to eat together?

When did Xue Jili become so considerate?

At this time, the considerate Xue Jili was sitting at the desk reading.

Looking from a distance, under the flickering lights, Xue Jili looked like he was concentrating on reading with his head down, and he really had the temperament of a cold young master.

Su Ye approached and called "Ali".

The moment Xue Jili raised his eyes, his eyes were clear and there was no trace of stupidity at all.

That look frightened Su Ye. She thought Xue Jili was cured, so she tentatively called out again, "Ali, why are you interested in reading today?"

The next moment, the clarity in Xue Jili's eyes disappeared, and he returned to his former silly look, "Sister Fairy, you are back."

Su Ye blinked her eyes in disbelief, as if the moment just now was her hallucination.

Seeing that Su Ye ignored him, Xue Jili continued, "Sister Fairy, I'll wait for you to come back and have dinner together, but I'm afraid that I can't help but fall asleep, so I came over to get a book and read it."

It was a reasonable explanation, at least Su Ye believed it.

The window opposite the desk was open, facing the entrance of the courtyard, and all the cold wind and air poured in through the wide open window.

Didn't Ah Cai close the doors and windows today?

Seeing that Xue Jili's hands were red from the cold, she naturally went over to hold them and rub them to warm them up.

"Why are you waiting for me in such a cold weather? What if you get frozen? You forgot that you have just recovered from a serious illness, and the doctor said you can't stand the cold."

"I-I'm not cold."

Xue Jili subconsciously wanted to take his hand back, but after thinking about it, he gave up and let Su Ye hold it. He just felt hot at the base of his ears and something warm in his heart.

"Okay, okay, let's eat quickly."

Su Ye was thinking about the warehouse and didn't notice anything wrong with Xue Jili today.

After a busy day, I am indeed hungry.

However, the weather was too cold. It had been a while since the food was cooked and it had basically cooled down. Su Ye ordered his servants to take it to the kitchen and reheat it.

The food was quickly served again.

The weather was so cold, Su Ye ate very quickly, and now she just wanted to finish her meal and go to bed to rest.

Xue Jili ate slowly and spent most of the time picking up vegetables for Su Ye.

When he put another piece of braised pork into Su Ye's bowl, she finally realized something was wrong.

"Ali, why are you always picking up food for me? You should eat quickly, the food will be cold again soon."

While she was talking, Xue Jili scooped another bowl of soup for her.

"Madam, you are too thin, you need to eat more."

The word "ma'am" frightened Su Ye into spitting out all the soup he had just drank but had not yet swallowed.

"Ahem, what did you call me? Who taught you to shout like that?"

This title is much more explosive than fairy sister.

Xue Jili looked innocent, "Brother Gao next door marries the bride, and he calls the bride ma'am. They said that's how she should be called after they get married."

This guy learns pretty fast.

Su Ye calmed down and said seriously: "Ali, actually you don't have to call me Niangzi when you get married. Didn't you call me Fairy Sister pretty well before? There's no need to change it. I'm not used to it either. "

"Oh, okay." Xue Jili's eyes flashed with loneliness.

The meal was eaten very quickly, and after the meal a new question was posed in front of the two of them.

The weather was getting cold now, and Su Ye's body would definitely not be able to bear it if she continued to lay on the floor, but she always felt uncomfortable when she thought of sleeping on the same bed with Xue Jili.

After thinking about it, I might as well go to the guest room to sleep.

But before she could walk out of the room, she was stopped by Xue Jili.

"Sister Fairy, where are you going?"

"Well, I'm going to sleep in the guest room next door. You should go to bed early too."

It was better to sneak away first, but only if Xue Jili didn't hold her back.

"What are you holding me for?" Su Ye tried to take off the hand on his arm, but was unable to do so. He said helplessly: "Li, let go quickly, I have to go to bed."

"Sister Fairy, aren't you going to sleep here?"

Facing those clear and clean eyes, Su Ye suddenly felt extremely guilty.

Now that she was running away, she looked like someone who had done something bad and wanted to run away.

"Uh, I..." I had to think of a way to fool this little fool. "Ahem, I caught a little cold outside today. I'm afraid that the cold will pass on to you, so from today on I'll sleep next door."

"But it's very cold next door. Sister Fairy is sick and can't sleep there."

To say that the warmest room in the Xue Mansion in winter is definitely the one where Xue Jili lives.

Because Xue Jili was weak due to toxins since childhood, he was easily infected with wind and cold in winter.

So Mr. Xue spent a lot of money and resources to install a ground dragon in his house, and laid a fire tunnel under the ground. The fire tunnel extended all the way to the outside of the house. There was an opening outside the house, and there was a subordinate who was responsible for lighting the fire at the entrance. people.

The heat will spread all the way into the house along the fire path, especially under the bed. It will be very warm lying in bed all winter.

Su Ye was afraid of the cold. If it weren't for the fact that she was not used to lying on the same bed as Xue Jili, she would never give up this room.

"It doesn't matter, I'll just get a few more Yuboshi."

Xue Jili stopped Su Ye from leaving, "But I heard them say that after getting married, he will sleep with his wife."

God, can't we avoid this problem today?
