Song Qingshu got up early the next morning, washed and changed into black mourning clothes.

The mourning uniform is a long black gown, the fabric is of good quality, and there are dark patterns of flames printed on it.Song Qingshu's skin was fair, and his figure was thin. Wearing a black mourning uniform gave him a sense of fragility.

Wearing mourning clothes, Qin Shuiyue whispered at a volume that could only be heard by two people: "A good-looking person is beautiful even in a sack. The ancients never deceive me. Come on, help me tie my girdle."

After he handed the black girdle to Song Qingshu, he stood upright on the spot and opened his hands, waiting for Song Qingshu to tie the girdle for him.

Song Qingshu put down his girdle in his hand, took Qin Shuiyue's girdle, slightly lowered his body and put his hands around Qin Shuiyue's waist, let the girdle go around Qin Shuiyue's back evenly, and put the rest The strap is looped back and tied in a nice knot at the front.

After binding Qin Shuiyue's girdle, following the principle of reciprocity, Song Qingshu picked up the girdle on the bed and handed it to Qin Shuiyue, looking at Qin Shuiyue with dark and bright eyes.

Qin Shuiyue took Song Qingshu's girdle, lowered her head slightly, looked down at Song Qingshu, pulled the belt of the girdle in front with one hand, and passed Song Qingshu's arms with the other, pushing her towards Song Qingshu with a little force. I wore a belt in my arms, and touched Song Qingshu's back at the end, and said in a deep voice in Song Qingshu's ear: "Well, it's smooth." easy knot.

After putting on the mourning clothes, Sang Yu picked up the girdle and looked at it carefully several times, thinking: Aren’t they all the same, do we need two people to wear them?

Thinking this way, he gestured the girdle on his waist a few times, then wrapped the girdle around his waist, and tied the belt to finish wearing it.

When the four of them put on their mourning clothes and went downstairs, several people were already standing downstairs.

As soon as everyone arrived, Ah Si flew over and told them to go eat.

On the way to the dining hall, Song Qingshu heard a man with glasses whisper to another girl with short hair that a person in their room was missing, and the mourning uniform was also missing.

The dining hall was still full of people, and after Song Qingshu and the others sat down, the puppet brought them breakfast.

Breakfast is sorghum cakes and corn cakes, as well as squeezed soy milk.The soy milk is very thick and seasoned with an appropriate amount of sugar. It tastes delicious and smooth, and it tastes much better than the usual breakfast shops.

When Song Qingshu and the others were about to finish eating, Li Shenglong came over from not far away.

"Everyone, I'll take you to see Big Brother after dinner, and see if you can find any clues."

Li Shenglong's face was paler and more haggard than the day before, as if he was tired from working so hard for his elder brother's death.

He said that the people at the dinner table were embarrassed to continue eating regardless of whether they had finished eating or not, and they all got up and said that they had finished eating.

Li Shenglong seemed to have expected such an effect after he said those words, his frown that had been frowning relaxed a little.

He led the people out of the dining hall and walked towards the place where the coffin was parked. His footsteps were a little hurried, and he looked very eager.

Soon, under his leadership, the crowd bypassed the thatched houses and came to an open space. On the open space was a black spirit shed with a large space from the outside.

"According to the customs here, before entering, I would like to ask you to put incense on my eldest brother and say hello to him, so as not to disturb him." Li Shenglong stopped in front of the coffin, and entered the coffin alone. Soon came out again, followed by three puppets carrying trays.

He handed the incense in the tray to the players, and after lighting them all, he took the lead in offering sacrifices to the dead.

The others followed him into the coffin after paying homage to the deceased in his way.

Inside the coffin was a pitch-black coffin, with raging flames drawn with red and white paint.

It should be that the time for the funeral has not yet come, and the lid of the coffin has not been closed, and the dead are lying quietly inside.

Inside the coffin above the head of the deceased is written in blood-red paint: Li Tenglong

Song Qingshu looked at Li Tenglong's body, and sure enough, as Li Shenglong said, the head was separated from the body.Moreover, the broken cross-section is very neat, as if someone cut it off in an instant with a sharp knife.

He looked at the neat cross-section solemnly and fell into deep thought: What kind of situation can cut off the head of a person walking on the road?If he was stunned first and then his head was chopped off, how much strength would the murderer have if the cut is so neat?

"Did your eldest brother have any festivities with anyone?" Song Qingshu asked.

Li Shenglong thought for a while before answering him: "No, my eldest brother has always treated people generously during his lifetime, and he has never made enemies with others."

"Is he married?"

"We are married. My sister-in-law is the eldest daughter of a collateral family. She is a virtuous and virtuous person with both talent and appearance. She will not feud with other people." Li Shenglong told the truth about the situation in Li Tenglong's family.

"Apart from your eldest brother, how many brothers and sisters do you have in your family?"

"I also have a younger brother named Li Yuelong who is the fourth eldest, and two younger sisters, the third sister Li Liuli and the youngest sister Li Qingyu, who you met in the dining hall last night." Li Shenglong answered him very cooperatively, "What do you have? Feel free to ask questions, as long as you can find the murderer who killed my elder brother."

"Thank you, we will do our best." Song Qingshu said.

After getting the clue he wanted, Song Qingshu turned to look for Qin Shuiyue.

There were too many people in the coffin, and Song Qingshu couldn't express his thoughts directly, so he had to say to Sang Yu and the others: "Let's go, let's go to other places first."

After leaving the coffin, the four of them found a secluded place.

"The reason why Li Tenglong was killed is probably love killing, vendetta killing or conflict of interests. If what Li Shenglong said is true, vendetta killing and love killing can be ruled out for the time being, then only conflict of interest remains. Judging from the wound It's a sharp knife, and the murderer is most likely a strong man." Song Qingshu spoke in a low voice, as if he didn't want others to hear his thoughts.

"It is not necessarily a knife that cut off the head of the old man of the Li family. Don't forget that this place is different from the real world. Since they can make all kinds of puppets, it is not impossible to cut off a person's head directly." Qin Shuiyue pointed out Looking at the thatched huts in the distance of the open space.

Between the thatched cottages, you will see puppets coming and going to deliver things from time to time.

These puppets come in all kinds, some are connected by wires, some are not connected by wires, some are connected by wooden joints, some are rough and can only perform low-level commands from the master, and some are more refined on this basis and can assist Master works...

Looking at those flexible puppets, Sang Yu couldn't help feeling emotional: "It would be great if I could make such puppets in reality, and I wouldn't have to do housework."

Song Qingshu glanced at him and said, "You can go back and buy a home robot."

Sang Yu was shocked and said: "Damn it! Do you know how expensive that thing is! It also costs money to maintain it. I'm poor, so I should do it myself."

Song Qingshu: ...

You are not guilty of saying this.

Standing aside, Qiu Zewen looked at Sang Yu's expression of shouting poor, and remembered the sets of brands he had worn in Qin Shuiyue's house these few times, his lips moved, but he didn't say anything in the end.

Qin Shuiyue didn't want to get involved in their conversations, so she reminded aloud, "Let's go back to the spirit shed first and then look for clues. We'll go to lunch later."

They were walking back when the bird named A Si flew into the coffin from a distance.

Not long after, Li Shenglong came out of the coffin shed, saw a few people coming this way, stepped forward to meet them, and said with apologetic expression: "I'm sorry, Liuli has something to do with me, I'll go there first , I will ask Ah Si to lead you the way at noon."

Qin Shuiyue said with a smile: "Go and do your work first, don't worry about us."

As soon as the words fell, Li Shenglong walked towards the thatched cottage not far away, his feet were windy, and soon the figure disappeared among the many thatched cottages.

Song Qingshu and Qin Shuiyue stood side by side, looked at the gradually shrinking figure until it disappeared, and said: "I think it is necessary for us to meet other members of the Li family, such as Li Tenglong's wife and his brothers. "

"Let's go in the afternoon." Qin Shuiyue said.

At noon, Ah Si flew over again and took everyone to the canteen for dinner.

This time it was finally no longer coarse grain rice but replaced by white rice.Holding the wooden bowl, Sang Yu almost burst into tears looking at the white rice inside. God knows how uncomfortable it is for a white rice lover to not be able to eat white rice for two consecutive meals.So Sang Yu ate two big bowls of rice with winter melon soup and fried beef.

Song Qingshu didn't have his appetite, so he picked up a small piece of beef and put it in his mouth to chew, his eyes wandering around the crowd in other places intentionally or unintentionally.

Since they put on the mourning clothes, those people no longer looked at them with strange eyes, but there were still a few people who would look at them a few more times.

Song Qingshu looked into the crowd for a long time and found the dining table where Li Shenglong was.

At that table was a pair of elderly people with dyed white hair, who could be seen as his parents.The beautiful-looking woman with a sad face next to his mother is his sister-in-law, the boy sitting next to Li Shenglong is his fourth brother Li Yuelong, and the youngest Li Qingyu is sitting next to Li Yuelong.

Song Qingshu couldn't help but look between several people, his brows gradually frowned.

Where did the third child go?
