”Why didn't you go to her house just now? Isn't that the crime scene?” Bao Fu Cheng asked in confusion.

Su Mu lightly tapped the corner of the table with his index finger, ”The scene of the crime was left behind by the murderer. As long as the murderer is someone from the Zhu Residence, the evidence that should have been cleaned up would have already been tidied up.

”Then you don't want to go to the crime scene?” Ye Zichen was completely confused by what Bao Fu Cheng said.

Su Mu pondered for a moment before replying, ”Let's go, but it's not the main point. The key point is to see what will happen in the Zhu Residence when night falls.”

It was night and dark, and he could not see anyone, but he could clearly see the monsters and ghosts that were hidden during the day.

After a while, the door was knocked.

Since he didn't go to the front hall for food, Zhu Chusheng politely ordered people to bring the food over. The person who brought the food over was the suspicious looking Mrs Liu.

Upon seeing her, the two of them pretended to ignore her. Leaning back on the couch, they continued their conversation.

Mrs Liu, on the other hand, respectfully lowered her head. She arranged the dishes and soup neatly on the table and blessed herself in the direction where the two were resting.

It wasn't until Mrs Liu had obediently left the house that Bao Fu, with a single bound, arrived at the door. After he heard that there was no one around, he used an extremely soft voice to speak to Su Mu, ”Brother Su, there's no need for this food. If there's a drug inside, you and I ….”

”I have to.” Su Mu explained, ”Even if they did make a move, it wouldn't be at this moment. Moreover, there will be people coming back later to clean up. If they see that the food has not been eaten, it will only increase their suspicion.”

Originally, Bao Fu Yun didn't really understand why Lin Yi would look at the two brothers. He had even used a bargaining chip like saving his own life to get them to help solve the case. Now that they had entered the Zhu Residence, Bao Fusheng could strongly feel Su Mu's alertness and thoroughness. Ye Zichen nodded in agreement, then sat down to eat.

As expected, after about an hour, Mrs Liu came back to clean up the dishes. Su Mu half closed his eyes as he laid on the bed not far away from the table to observe the dishes.

After Mrs Liu went down, Bao Fusheng and Su Mu walked together to the 'trap' that they had been waiting for.

At the table where they had just eaten, Su Mu had used a charcoal pen to write down the six words: ”Wu Cheng Dreamland Tower”. It wasn't small, but it was enough for a literate person to notice it.

When Liu Ma who was cleaning the dishes saw this, she couldn't help but slow down her hand movements and carefully observe the movements.

This Mrs Liu could actually read.

What kind of family, in the Great Yan Dynasty, would produce a literate servant, at the very least a scholar or a rich man, who valued his children's education, and who paid for a child of his own age to accompany him in his studies?

A rich family like the Zhu Family in Wu City was unable to raise a literate servant, and at the same time, Mrs Liu was not suitable to accompany Zhu Chusheng. Then he would contact the Zhu Family's background. Only the dead mother Zhu would meet the requirements.

In other words, Mrs Liu should be a maid brought by Mrs Zhu to accompany her mother. To a large extent, she was a reading maid brought here to accompany her mother. The two of them had learned how to read and write together. If that was the case, then Mrs Liu could not be deaf, and perhaps even this inability to speak was caused by the day after tomorrow.

Bao Fu Cheng subconsciously looked at Su Mu, who was deep in thought, and wanted to know what to do next.

Dusk was falling on Su Mu's nose, and the air was so still that one could hear insects chirping.

”Let's wait for nightfall.” After a short while, Su Mu slowly spoke.

Seeing that the sky was getting darker, everyone started to get up.
