"I remember there is a police station in the town. Why are there no police officers investigating the case?" Yuan Ying asked curiously.
"Police station, oh my," Ethan immediately perked up at the mention of gossip. "The police station in town hasn't been paying salaries for a long time. Without salaries, all those benefits are meaningless. No one has come to the city for inspections in over a decade. Those police officers haven't been working for a long time! They're considered diligent if they come to the police station once a week!"
Ethan shook his head, his tone full of disdain.
"They're so lax! Does the police station have satellite phones?" Yuan Ying exclaimed. "When it rains here, there's no signal. When it's cloudy, there's no signal either. There's no internet either. What if something goes wrong?"
"I think so..." Ethan thought for a moment, "I remember the police station did have a satellite phone, but since no one had any urgent matters, no one used it. The town has a supermarket, a small hospital, and a bar, which is pretty much the same as outside!"
Ethan didn't think what he said was wrong at all. He felt that his current life was pretty good. He slept until he woke up naturally at nine or ten in the morning, then had lunch. If he was too lazy to cook, he would go to the tavern to order some food and drink some wine, chat with others, walk around the town in the afternoon, chat with beautiful women, and smoke a cigarette outside the forest. At ten o'clock in the evening at the latest, Ethan would be very sleepy. "We go to bed early in our town. We are almost asleep at ten o'clock in the evening."
Ethan stroked his chin, feeling that he was such a good man. He went to bed early every night and had a very good sleep quality, sleeping through the night, occasionally having a dream or two. "Oh, I heard that if people in the city still have insomnia, they can come to us. We guarantee you'll get a good night's sleep. No one in our town stays up late!"
"That's pretty good, sleeping until dawn." Feng Lan raised an eyebrow, "How long do you usually sleep and wake up?"
"Ten o'clock at night, I'll wake up to see if there's anything to do the next day. If there is, it'll be six or seven o'clock. If there's nothing and it's raining, it'll be after ten o'clock, haha, just the right time to get up and drink." Ethan smiled heartily.
That's such a coincidence. Marsh asked everyone to go to his house for dinner at 10 o'clock in the evening. On the way back after dinner, wouldn't it be a good time to walk at night?
Seeing that Feng Lan was fine, Ethan immediately found an excuse to slip away.
"Do you want to go to the doctor's former residence and take another look?" Feng Lan glanced at the gloomy sky and the moisture carried by the wind. "It looks like it's going to rain again."
"Go!" Ben Xin nodded. Since Feng Lan said the clue was there and now he mentioned it deliberately, he naturally had to go and take a look.
The three of them walked quickly along the road to the iron fence. Zhu Yexin was still sitting on the porch outside the house, his old white hair piercing people's eyes. If Feng Lan hadn't hinted before, the two would have found it hard to imagine that he was actually a player.
Ben Wenxin paused for a moment, and after careful identification, she realized that this was her bodyguard, but in an instant, she also reacted.
Since the copy gives the player an inconvenient body, it will definitely be compensated in other places and the balance mechanism will be achieved, so there must be key clues on him!
"Ring ring ring..."
"It's strange that someone would come here." A female voice came from behind the three of them. Feng Lan looked in the direction of the voice and didn't recognize her.
An Shao looked at the three people in the yard and soon met Feng Lan and the other two. They were a group of people who came for old Marsh's inheritance.
Out of intuition, An Shao immediately determined that these three people were players.
Feng Lan and the other two were of the same opinion. After all, this place was far and remote to the west of the town. Who among the locals would bother to come here? Just like locals wouldn't go to tourist attractions, they all understood this tacitly.
Zhu Yexin pretended not to notice and let the four people in according to the procedure. "It's been a long time since it's been so lively here. It's rare to have so many people here at once."
"Are you... Linda?" Zhu Yexin narrowed her eyes and took a moment to recognize An Shao's identity. She smiled and took out the key to open the villa door. "The last time I saw you, you were still a little girl..."
"Yes, Grandpa Czech." In Linda's memory, Czech has always been this old, and An Shao is not sure how old this old man is.
Feng Lan and the other two looked at each other and tacitly concealed the fact that they knew Zhu Ye Xin, and listened to Zhu Ye Xin's rigid preaching.
"In 1987, Dr. Senweidai was working at..." With An Shao around, Zhuye Xin did not reveal his identity as a doctoral assistant this time. He spoke very officially about some information and refused to let Feng Lan go to places where he was not allowed to go. There was no such situation as last time when Feng Lan wanted to see illegal information and he 'happened' to go to the toilet.
"Times have really changed, Grandpa Czech, you don't have to worry about us, we'll just take some photos and post them on Twitter later." Yuan Ying said sweetly, and stayed on the first floor with Feng Lan and Ben Wenxin, pretending that they were not interested in history and just came here to experience the culture.
An Shao stared at the three of them for a while, hesitating between whether to continue following Czech up to the second floor, or to stay on the first floor with the three players. She looked at Czech, and made a judgment in her heart. She could find an excuse to come over and listen to Czech later, but now the three players must have found a clue to stay on the first floor. An Shao looked at Czech, "Grandpa Czech, I think there are some interesting places on the first floor. Can you tell me more about them?"
As Linda spoke, the smile on Zhu Yexin's face faded, as if she didn't notice the turbulent situation between the few people. She waved her hand and said, "I think you guys are just bored and here to have fun. You have no interest in history at all. Forget it, I'm old too. You guys can just walk around the first floor, take some photos, and then leave."
"Czech..."
Zhuyexin didn't say anything, her gray eyes fixed on Linda. Seeing that she didn't say anything else, she slowly walked to the door and looked at the four of them. It was obvious that she didn't intend to entertain them anymore and would just kick them out after a while.
An Shao was annoyed, but she had to seize the opportunity to look at the manuscripts. She was not a fool. From Czech's attitude, she knew that if she asked any more questions, this guy would probably get angry and turn violent. In the short term, she probably wouldn't have any legitimate excuse to come here to the second floor. She had to seize the opportunity now to look for clues.
An Shao quickly wrote down all the manuscripts, especially those of the places where Feng Lan and the other two had stayed. Feng Lan and Yuan Ying pretended to be displeased and took pictures slowly. Then, the four of them were driven out by Zhu Ye Xin.
"Humph!" Yuan Ying rolled her eyes at An Shao. An Shao remained calm and even a little smug. He curled his lips, glanced at the sky, and walked away slowly.
"The weather is not right. It's getting dark too quickly. Let's go back early." Feng Lan also looked at the sky. It was only a little after four in the afternoon. The clouds were very thick and the gray air was pressing down, making it difficult to tell the position of the sun. However, the position of the tree shadows on the ground seemed to be a little after eight in the evening. Feng Lan felt something was wrong and asked the two to go home.
