"How did you get out?" Jin Xiaolou's almond-shaped eyes slightly closed, then suddenly raised up again, as his misty pupils became like new dew on a leaf.

She immediately reacted.

Why he was so stupid, he should have naturally figured out how the murderer came out.

Just because he was standing at his own angle, the moment he went into the room, the door was tightly shut. He then started to ponder about how the murderer had managed to get in and how the door was so tightly shut.

Since the murderer had killed Ru Yi, then he must have entered the house. Perhaps Ru Yi was the one who had opened the door, or perhaps he had slipped in, or maybe the window had not been closed then and the killer had snuck in.

Anyway, in the end she died, and after she died, the door was shut tight.

The murderer shut the door and the window, and how he got out was the key.

Gao Lang's face was clear, like a bright jade mountain. Upon seeing Jin Xiaolou's expression, she knew that she had grasped the gist of the case.

So he continued: "This matter is simple, but it is also hard to say. If you can be sure that the doors and windows were truly firmly locked, and that they were not blocked by some sort of mechanism, and that there was no other path within the house, then think about the simplest of circumstances. "

"The simplest situation?" Jin Xiaolou was a little anxious. She had always thought that she was clever, how could she have met with a murder case? It was like stuffing a ball of wool into her head.

"Yes, it's the simplest." Gao Lang looked at Jin Xiaolou with determination, "Say it."

Jin Xiaolou was a little perturbed, this Gao Lang did not have a single trace of his previous self, after taking off his stupidity, she unexpectedly gave off a terrifying aura, causing her to unconsciously do as he said: "Maybe, he did not come out at all!"

"That's right." Gao Lang smiled, "This is the easiest choice, close the doors and windows tight, and stay in the wing until you guys break in."

"But wouldn't we be bumping into him?" Jin Xiaolou became even more confused, "That small room in the other room, I could see everything clearly at a glance."

"Whether you understand it or not, you can't think of it just because you want to. What you see is the same thing, and what you remember is the same thing. Everyone will tamper with what they have experienced, unconsciously. You can't even tell if it's a dream or a reality. " Gao Lang shifted his gaze and looked at the river surface far away, sighing with emotion.

At the moment, the sun was setting and the sun was setting. Fishermen were holding boats as they swam across the river. Ripples of light could be seen and the water was like a burning flame.

Gao Lang suddenly closed his eyes, afraid that the nightmare in his mind would suddenly appear before him again.

Many a times, when he looked at the magnificent state of the Empress Mother as he sat on the Phoenix Throne, he would wonder if everything that happened fifteen years ago was just a dream of his.

Gao Lang took a deep breath, turned his head, and said to Jin Xiaolou: "I remember, since it's not real, why don't we take a look for ourselves."

Seeing Jin Xiaolou standing in his original position, she did not speak for a long while, nor did she move.

Gao Lang stretched out his hand, opened it and gave it to Jin Xiaolou: "Do you dare to go with me? Return to Mountain Note, investigate the real culprit, and return your innocence. "

Jin Xiaolou looked at Gao Lang, the emotions in his heart extremely complicated.

After a long time, he finally took a step back and refused, "My matter has nothing to do with you. I will prove my innocence."

With that, he turned and left without looking back.

Only Gao Lang was left standing in the water, his eyes unmoving as he watched Jin Xiaolou's figure, which had hidden itself inside the door.

After returning home for a while, Lv Yun led Huang Guizhi back home.

"Guess what!" "I've searched through almost all the inns in the Xin Ning, but I didn't find Big Sister Gui Qi. Seeing that it was getting late, and I was just about to go back, who knew that Big Sister Gui Qi would sit in her beautiful sedan chair, and came to me like a fairy that had descended to the mortal world!"

Seeing Gui Qi's blushing face, Jin Xiaolou hurriedly took over the Lin'er and asked his where he went yesterday.

Gui Qi lowered his head, muttering to himself that he was hungry and had changed the topic.

Jin Xiaolou did not ask anymore, and after the three of them ate dinner, Kuang Ruyue took out the three rooms she had prepared.

Naturally, Jin Xiaolou and Gui Qi Lin'er were in one room, Lv Yun and Gui Qi were sleeping next to each other, and the other room was reserved for Zhou Shuli.

Only until Jin Xiaolou got into bed did Zhou Shuli still not return.

Gui Qi's foot was as cold as ice. When it touched Jin Xiaolou's body, it was like a snowflake falling over.

It was so cold that Jin Xiaolou shivered while hugging Lin'er.

Gui Zhi giggled and felt that the Lou Cheng's trembling appearance was extremely interesting, like that of a furry squirrel. He couldn't help but extend his hand to freeze her face.

The two of them started fighting and it was only after a long time did Gui Zhi finally hold Jin Xiaolou and whisper to her. "Didn't you just ask me where I went yesterday?"

"Yes." Jin Xiaolou pulled the blanket up to cover her exposed neck, "Are you willing to tell me?"

Gui Qi unhappily rolled his eyes at Jin Xiaolou. "Of course I'm telling you, it's just that there were a lot of people just now."

She paused, then continued, "Do you remember that person I told you about before?"

"Before? "Who is it?" Jin Xiaolou was startled, and then immediately recalled, "You're talking about the man who saved you in the forest?"

Gui Qi nodded. "I met him again. What a coincidence. Every time I run into him, I have no other choice."

"This time, he still told me not to mention it to anyone else, but you're not a bystander." Gui Zhi laughed and followed Jin Xiaolou to hide in a quilt. "He brought me to a large ship and took me in for a night, and even agreed to keep an eye on Mountain Note cases for me. When you released me today, he immediately sent someone to bring me back. "

"Before he left, he said that my shoes were old and he wanted to give me another pair. But this time, I didn't dare to take it. " The osmanthus branches reached gently.

Jin Xiaolou frowned. "Then do you know who he is?"

Gui Qi shook his head. "I only know that he is called Fifth Master. From his appearance, he definitely has an extraordinary background."

"Fifth Master?" Jin Xiaolou flashed past like lightning. The last time, she had heard Chang An, who was by Gao Lang's side, call him Seventh Elder.

Fifth Master... Seventh Elder … Jin Xiaolou was anxious.

He quickly asked, "Did that person only take you in for a night? Did you say anything else? "

Gui Zhi still shook his head: "I didn't say anything. I just asked a servant called Red Xiao to bring me there, and then I stayed the night with the wine and dishes. Today, I slept all the way until noon, and returned right after lunch."

After thinking for a moment, Gui Zhi continued, "I didn't say much. When I went, I was just gossiping. I asked you how I was. How have you guys been?" When I leave, I'll just say that I'm going to give them to me. Seeing that I'm not accepting any shoes, I won't say anymore. "

"How about I ask you? Are we okay? " Jin Xiaolou frowned even more, "Then he asked … Gao Lang? "

Gui Qi nodded: "Yes, why didn't you mention Gao Lang?"

"Did you tell him about Gao Lang?" Jin Xiaolou felt that something was wrong. She felt that it was weird and started to panic.

"She did, but he was only casually asking. I don't think he took it to heart." Gui Zhi saw that Jin Xiaolou was a little nervous and also started to worry: "What's wrong, Lou, is there something wrong?"

Jin Xiaolou put her head under the blanket, and her voice buzzed from inside: "I don't know either, I just feel a little uneasy. If you don't have anything to offer, just take it. I keep feeling that that man has ill intentions. "

Gui Zhi untied his hair and laid down on the pillow. He then closed his eyes slightly. This time, I saw it again. On the contrary, I no longer thought about it. The dissipated dream gathered back in front of me, and when I could touch it, it was no longer captivating. "

"He saved my life and solved my predicament one after another. I'm very grateful." Gui Zhi opened his eyes and stared at the scented sachet hanging on the bed frame, the embroidery pattern on it twisted and turned. "Regardless of his uneasiness or kindness, I still owe him a favor. I hope he is a good person. This way, I can help him burn incense for him."

The two of them did not extinguish the candle until the courtyard door was pushed open with a creak.

Gui Qi suddenly sat up: "Zhou Shuli is back?"

With that, he put on his clothes, took a candle in his shoe, and pushed open the door.

When he saw Zhou Shuli enter the room in a daze, and saw Gui Zhi's face under the candlelight, Zhou Shuli's eyes reddened. A man, unexpectedly had two streams of hot tears flowing down his face, as he hurriedly went forward and hugged the Gui Zhi tightly, and choked with sobs: "I have searched all the restaurants and inns in the city, but I couldn't find you no matter what, I … I'm worried sick. "

Gui Qi's astonished expression dissipated and turned into a gentle smile. He stroked the man's back and said, "Aren't I fine?"

"Then, then promise me, don't make me worry about you ever again!" After Zhou Shuli finished speaking, he realized that he was hugging Gui Qi, and quickly let go of his hands with a blush.

Gui Qi chuckled and said, "I promise you that I will not worry you in the future."

Inside the house, Jin Xiaolou curled up her body and tightly hugged her knees. Hot tears rolled down her cheeks.

In a moment, tears had soaked the bedding.

Hearing the soft voices in the courtyard, she suddenly thought of Gao Lang.

He couldn't help but cry.

This was the first time Jin Xiaolou cried because of Gao Lang, and even she herself could not understand why this was so.

It took a while before he managed to stop his tears. He took two deep breaths.

Thinking about Lin'er, Gui Zhi Zun and Zhou Shuli who were in the courtyard, Jin Xiaolou clenched her fists tightly.

The Mountain Note had to be reopened as soon as possible. She had to allow the Lin'er to grow up carefree and carefree. Also, Zhou Shuli's mother was still severely ill. Whether it was the medical fees or the school fees, they were not a small number.

Jin Xiaolou wanted Gui Zhi and Zhou Shuli to have simple, happy little blessings.

The poor couple, on the other hand, had nothing to mourn.

Jin Xiaolou got up, put on her robes and tucked the Lin'er in. She then pushed open the half-closed door and sneaked out.

Zhou Shuli and Gui Qi were outside the front door, while Jin Xiaolou turned around and went out from the back.

Gao Lang was right, he already couldn't remember it clearly, why not go and take a look at the scene and understand it.

She didn't need Gao Lang's help, but she could still head there by herself. She would definitely find some clues.

Even if he couldn't find the murderer, he had to prove his innocence no matter what.

As soon as they walked out of Lu'Er's Lane, they had yet to reach the street where the sound of water could be heard. A group of patrolling soldiers came over with torches in their hands.

Jin Xiaolou was shocked, the curfew was still on him, she grabbed hold of the wooden board, and rushed into an alley at the side in a panic.

Just as he was about to enter, he bumped into someone.

"Knowing that I'm right and proving that you're smart, it would be foolish of you to go alone in the dark."

Jin Xiaolou rubbed her forehead in pain, she raised her head, and saw Gao Lang's pair of eyes smiling under the moonlight.

"Do you think the seal of the government is pasted for fun?" Without me, you won't be able to enter Mountain Note. "
