"Ahhh! Someone's dead, someone's dead!" A panicked cry attracted the attention of Lu Sui Xin and Yu Shao Qing. The two looked at each other and immediately ran over.

A crowd of people gathered outside the restaurant called Zuichunlou. Yu Shaoqing and his men pushed through the crowd and walked over. The old nanny seemed to be terribly frightened and ran to the hall, shouting loudly with a blank look in her eyes and shaking all over.

"Hurry, go and report to the police!" someone reacted and reminded.

"No!"

Lu Sui Xin shifted her gaze to the woman who was speaking. The woman was pretty, and although her eyes were filled with sorrow, she spoke calmly.

"Why can't we report it to the police?" The people around had been asked to leave by the waiter of the restaurant. The hall was suddenly deserted. Yu Shaoqing said, "You don't allow us to report it to the police. Could it be that you killed the person?"

"Don't talk nonsense!" the servant said angrily.

Lu Suixin observed for a while, then directly stated his identity and said, "My last name is Lu, and this is Young Master Yu. Since you don't want to report to the police, can you take us to the back to see what happened?"

"Are you...people from the Jianghu?" the woman asked.

Lu Suixin: "He is. I'm just hanging out here and I have some basic skills."

"My last name is Qiao," Qiao Chun said, "I'm the owner of this restaurant. You guys... follow me."

Lu Suixin and Yu Shaoqing followed Qiao Chun to the backyard and the room where the wine was stored. The old nanny was also brought over by the servant.

The body had been pulled out of the wine jar and placed in the courtyard, exuding the aroma of wine. Qiao Chun hid the pain in his eyes, walked to the old nanny, put his hand on the wrinkled back of the old nanny's hand, and said softly: "Don't be afraid, nanny, tell us what happened."

The old nanny shuddered violently and spoke tremblingly, "I was originally sweeping the second floor this morning, but the guest in the wing said he wanted to drink drunken spring breeze. It was still very early and there were no servants, so I ran here to get some wine. After delivering the wine, I came to the backyard after sweeping. I thought it was still early, so I thought of cleaning the wine room as well. I saw that a jar of newly sealed wine a few days ago was not sealed properly, so I thought of resealing it. I didn't expect that when I looked inside, there was a person soaking in it!"

"Newly sealed wine is usually not opened for a period of time. If it wasn't discovered by the nanny, I don't know how long it would have taken for people to know that someone had died here." The servant explained.

Yu Shaoqing asked: "Who is the dead person?"

"I work as a handyman in the backyard of the restaurant." Qiao Chun took the initiative to explain.

Lu Suixin glanced at Qiao Chun's reaction, her black eyelashes drooping to hide the emotions in her eyes, "What's his name?"

"His name is Chu Si." The servant recalled, "I still remember that day Chu Si stood at the door. He was in rags, his hair was so long that it covered his face, and he was limping. I thought he was a beggar, so I asked someone to drive him away so that he wouldn't block our business. Later, the shopkeeper found him, kept him, and gave him a meal."

"Is his real name Chusi?" Lu Sui Xin asked.

The servant shook his head and said, "I don't know his name, and he wouldn't tell me when I asked. I found him on the fourth day of the New Year, so I gave him this name."

The servant thought about the information about Chusi, and thought of something. He slapped his forehead and said, "Oh, right, Chusi really likes to drink Zui Chun Feng, but Zui Chun Feng is a good wine and expensive, so he can't afford it. At that time, Chusi said he didn't want money, just a place to live, food, and a jar of Zui Chun Feng every month."

"Has your boss agreed?" Lu Sui Xin asked.

The servant nodded and said, "I disagree. How could we see him here? I guess he must have sneaked into the wine room to steal wine, but he got drunk and accidentally fell into the wine jar and drowned." The more the servant thought about it, the more he felt that his guess was very credible, and there was even a sigh in his eyes. This fourth day of the New Year loved wine like his life, and only Zui Chun Feng could catch his eye. He never thought that one day he would drown in Zui Chun Feng.

"Shopkeeper Qiao is really kind and generous." Lu Suixin teased, "There are so many beggars outside, but Shopkeeper Qiao took in a beggar with a leg disease and let him work in Zuichunlou."

"Lu Sui!" Yu Shaoqing warned.

Lu Sui Xin shrugged at Yu Shao Qing and said nothing.

A trace of unnaturalness flashed across Qiao Chun's face, but he immediately recovered and said, "It's just that we are compatible."

"Yes." Lu Sui Xin nodded seriously and agreed: "Young Master Yu is very pleasing to my eyes."

"Lu Sui, don't make trouble!" Yu Shaoqing said coldly.

Qiao Chun's eyes went back and forth between Lu Suixin and Yu Shaoqing several times, and then he realized that Mr. Lu might have feelings for Young Master Yu. Young Master Yu might also have some thoughts, but he just didn't know it.

Qiao Chun didn't bother to explore other people's thoughts and said, "He's a poor man, without a father or a mother, wandering alone. I guess he just had an accident. I'll have someone find a good place to bury him."

"What a waste of wine." Lu Sui Xin said, "I heard that the most famous dish in Zui Chun Lou here is Zui Chun Feng. Shopkeeper Qiao, give me a room upstairs, another jar of Zui Chun Feng and some of your restaurant's most famous side dishes."

"You stay here by yourself. I still have to hurry on." Since it was just an accident, Yu Shaoqing didn't want to stay any longer.

"This..." Qiao Chun didn't know whether to serve the wine or not.

Lu Sui Xin smiled and said, "Manager Qiao, just serve the wine. Young Master Yu is just joking with me."

"Who is kidding you?" Yu Shaoqing retorted.

Lu Suixin ignored Yu Shaoqing's struggle and pulled him into the upper room. Yu Shaoqing was thrown into the room by Lu Suixin, and Lu Suixin closed the door and leaned against the door frame and said to Yu Shaoqing: "Do you think I only know how to have fun every day?"

"Isn't it?" Yu Shaoqing asked back unhappily.

Lu Sui Xin smiled knowingly and snapped his fingers, "I forgot that besides eating, drinking and having fun, I also entertained Young Master Yu."

"you!"

Seeing that Yu Shaoqing was about to get angry again, Lu Suixin immediately brought the topic back to the right track and said, "I think Chusi's death is not that simple."

"Why?" Yu Shaoqing simply sat down at the table and poured himself a cup of tea. Just as he was about to drink it, Lu Sui Xin took it away.

Lu Sui Xin ignored Yu Shao Qing's unhappy look, took a sip of tea to moisten his throat and said: "You may not have noticed at that time, but the look in Shopkeeper Qiao's eyes when he looked at Chu Si was very sad, as if he was looking at..." Lu Sui Xin frowned and thought, as if he couldn't remember it for a while.

Yu Shaoqing hurriedly urged: "What are you looking at..."

Lu Suixin curved her eyes, looked at Yu Shaoqing and replied, "Husband!"

"What are you yelling about!" Yu Shaoqing widened his eyes. Lu Suixin's words always shocked him. Yu Shaoqing's face immediately turned red. He always felt that his ears were very hot.

Lu Suixin rubbed his ears and said, "Why are you yelling so much? Listen to my ears and you'll be happy if I become deaf later."

"You were the one who shouted first." Yu Shaoqing retorted.

Lu Sui Xin listened and raised one eyebrow and said, "Why did I yell? I was just telling you that the way Shopkeeper Qiao looked at Chu Si was like looking at his own husband."

Yu Shaoqing: ...

Lu Suixin was trying not to laugh. Just then, the door of the private room was knocked and the waiter came over with wine. Lu Suixin turned around to open the door, took out a silver ingot from his pocket and gave it to the waiter, saying, "I want to ask you something."

The servant had never seen such a big tip from a guest before, so he immediately smiled and said, "Ask me, sir. I will tell you everything I know."

Lu Sui Xin asked, "Does Shopkeeper Qiao have a good relationship with Chu Si? Does he take good care of Chu Si on weekdays?"

"Where?" the servant said, "Chu Si was cleaning up in the backyard, eating and drinking with the odd jobs. The shopkeeper didn't take much care of Chu Si. On the contrary, Chu Si didn't cut his hair or tie it up. He kept his hair loose and his head down every day, as if he was afraid of being seen by others. By the way, especially when the shopkeeper went to the backyard, Chu Si would try to hide."

"Did Manager Qiao abuse Chusi?" Lu Sui Xin asked.

"What are you talking about!" The servant retorted, "Our shopkeeper is fine!"

Lu Suixin smiled and said, "It's just a casual question. Just pretend you never asked this question."

Lu Suixin returned to the room with the wine. Yu Shaoqing asked, "What did you ask him?"

Lu Sui Xin took the wine glass and poured two cups of Zui Chun Feng in front of the two people, saying, "Try it quickly. I heard that many people come here just to taste this Zui Chun Feng."

Yu Shaoqing took the cup and took a sip. The wine tasted not pungent, but lightly fragrant. It was not strong in the throat, but slightly sweet. It tasted very comfortable. Yu Shaoqing drank it all in one gulp, thinking that it was no wonder that so many people wanted to come and drink the drunken spring breeze. It was indeed delicious.

Yu Shaoqing wanted to drink another glass, but Lu Suixin stopped him and reminded him, "Don't think this wine doesn't make you drunk, but it has a strong aftereffect."

Yu Shaoqing placed the wine glass on the table and asked, "Do you suspect the relationship between Qiao Chun and Chu Si?"

Lu Sui Xin slowly savored the drunken spring breeze, "Yes, there must be some connection between the two of them. Let's stay here tonight and go to Chu Si's room to see what's going on."
