"What? He likes Bai Xue?" Chu Yunxi paused, feeling like something seemed wrong.

Xiao Mubei also felt something was wrong and asked, "Are you sure he likes Bai Xue?"

"Of course," Xu Sheng didn't notice anything wrong, "Brother Lei Zi told me in person that he likes Bai Xue, but Bai Xue never really cares about anyone, so Brother Lei Zi must have had a one-sided love for her so far."

Xu Sheng said with some regret, "Actually, Brother Leizi is really a good person. If you ask me, although Bai Xue is not a girl who receives guests in a brothel, she is just a musician, and her status matches that of Brother Leizi. Brother Leizi is caring, and if she really follows Brother Leizi, she will definitely be happy."

Chu Yunxi and Xiao Mubei were silent. They were not interested in these gossips. What they were thinking was that if the person Mao Xiaolei liked was Bai Xue, then his suspicion of murder would be greatly reduced. After all, Caifeng's reception of guests had nothing to do with him.

As they were talking, they finally arrived at Mao Xiaolei's home. It was a small two-courtyard house. It was obvious that the owner was just an ordinary family, not poor, but not rich either. Before entering the door, Xu Sheng shouted at the top of his voice: "Brother Leizi, I'm here to see you, how are you?"

A sound of "Ouch" came from inside, and a weak voice said: "Xu Sheng, you still have a conscience and know to come and see your brother, but shouldn't you be working now?"

Xu Sheng pushed open the door, and Xiao Mubei followed Xu Sheng in first. He saw that the tables and chairs in the room were neatly arranged and clean. It was obvious that the owner loved to tidy up. There was a tall man lying on the bed, curled up on the bed with his hands on his stomach. His face was wrinkled with pain, but he still looked handsome.

Seeing that he was dressed neatly, Xiao Mubei nodded to Chu Yunxi, and she stepped into the house. Mao Xiaolei opened his eyes, was startled, and asked: "Xu Sheng, who are these two..."

Xu Sheng hurriedly said, "Brother Leizi, this is the King and Princess Dingbei. They are here to ask you something."

"Your Highness, Princess?" Mao Xiaolei was stunned for a moment before he reacted. He struggled to get out of bed and saluted. "I pay my respects to Your Highness, Princess."

Xiao Mubei said: "No need to be polite, just lie down if you are not feeling well."

Mao Xiaolei still insisted on getting out of bed, "I'm fine, I just had a stomachache, how can I be so rude in front of the prince and princess?"

Xiao Mubei did not force it, and sat down at the eight-immortal table with Chu Yunxi, motioning Mao Xiaolei and Xu Sheng to sit down. Chu Yunxi asked, "Mao Xiaolei, are you alone at home?"

Mao Xiaolei said, "My parents are out shopping and will be back soon. I wonder what brings the prince and princess to my humble home?" As he spoke, he looked at Xu Sheng, who shook his head, indicating that he didn't know either.

Chu Yunxi said: "We have a few questions for you, and we hope you can answer truthfully. If you hide anything, we can only invite you to the Dali Temple for tea."

Mao Xiaolei was a little nervous, "Princess, please ask."

"Where were you from Chou to Yin the night before yesterday?"

Mao Xiaolei thought for a moment, "I hadn't finished work at Chou hour, so I was naturally in Fenglai Building. After we finished work at Yin hour, I came back. When I got home, my parents were already asleep, so I tiptoed back to my room and went to sleep."

Get off work at Yinshi and rush from Fenglai Tower to Sishui Lane. Although a quarter of an hour is a bit tight, it is still doable for someone who knows Qinggong. After arriving at Sishui Lane, kill someone at Yinshi and rush back. But for someone who doesn't know Qinggong, the time is a bit tight.

"Do you know Ma Mingxuan?" Chu Yunxi suddenly asked.

Mao Xiaolei thought for a moment and said, "This name sounds familiar. Is he a guest of Fenglai Tower?"

Chu Yunxi stared at Mao Xiaolei's eyes closely, but saw that he was very calm and didn't seem to be lying. If he was really lying, it would only mean that this person's psychological quality was really good.

"He is a guest of your Fenglai Tower. To be more precise, he is a guest of Miss Caifeng." Chu Yunxi said slowly, not missing any expression of Mao Xiaolei. Unfortunately, there was no panic or other expression on his face.

He just said "Oh" and said, "Sorry, Princess, there are too many guests in the building, and I can't remember."

Chu Yunxi didn't comment, and asked again: "Do you know Qinggong?"

"I know a little bit," Mao Xiaolei said with a self-deprecating smile, "I only know the basics. I haven't practiced much. I mainly practice external martial arts, and I have also practiced some light skills."

"So where were you this morning at 11:00 a.m.?"

"I must be sleeping at home at Mao time," Mao Xiaolei said strangely, "I finish work at Yin time, what else can I do if I don't come back to sleep?"

"Did anyone testify for you?"

Mao Xiaolei smiled bitterly, "I'm sleeping alone at home, who can testify for me?"

"Then when did you start having diarrhea?" Chu Yunxi asked one question after another.

"It was probably around noon. I was woken up by the pain and had a stomachache. It hasn't healed yet. I had no choice but to ask my dad to ask for leave from Mother Du in the afternoon."

It sounded impeccable, so Chu Yunxi asked again: "I heard that you like Miss Bai Xue from your building?"

Mao Xiaolei was startled, then he glared at Xu Sheng fiercely. Xu Sheng touched his nose guiltily, so Mao Xiaolei admitted openly, "Yes."

"Have you caught up?" Chu Yunxi asked.

"Chase?" Mao Xiaolei didn't understand what it meant, and Chu Yunxi explained: "Does it mean that she agrees to be with you?"

Mao Xiaolei sighed and said sadly, "No, she doesn't pay much attention to me. There are also rules in the building that don't allow us to have ideas about the girls in the building. Although Bai Xue doesn't sell her body, she is still a girl in the building. So I don't dare to confess to her blatantly. I can only pay attention to her secretly."

"Who in the building has the best relationship with Miss Snow White?"

"With...Caifeng, I see them chatting together often." Mao Xiaolei was not sure.

Chu Yunxi nodded, stood up and said, "Okay, take good care of yourself. I have finished my questions. By the way, don't let anyone know what I asked you today, including your parents and Miss Bai Xue. Do you understand?"

Mao Xiaolei quickly agreed. Chu Yunxi took out a bottle of medicine and handed it to him. "Take it twice a day, one pack each time, for three consecutive days. No matter if the symptoms are cured or not, you have to take it for three days. Got it?"

Mao Xiaolei had heard that Princess Dingbei had outstanding medical skills. Seeing her take the initiative to give him medicine, he was somewhat flattered. He quickly took it with both hands and knelt on the ground to express his gratitude. Then Chu Yunxi and Xiao Mubei left the Mao family.
