I fulfilled the female supporting role's wish and I succeeded

Li Xiangyi smiled slightly, gently waving his folding fan, and said, "Guo Qian is evasive in his words, obviously hiding something. Lion Soul was seriously injured, how could he recover overnight? There must be something fishy going on."

Fang Duobing was completely bewildered. He scratched his head and asked in bewilderment, "Li Lianhua, Sister Luo, what are you talking about? Why don't I understand a word you say?"

Qiao Wanwan had been feeling hungry for the past two days. She happened to pass by a restaurant and was greeted by the aroma. She couldn't help but stop and suggested, "Huahua, Fang Xiaobao, A Fei, we've been walking for so long, why don't we go get something to eat first?"

Fang Duobing disagreed. He frowned and said seriously, "Li Lianhua, Sister Luo, we still have important things to do. Why are you only thinking about eating?"

Li Xiangyi smiled helplessly and said, "Fang Xiaobao, you need to eat a full meal to have the strength to investigate the case. Let's go, let's fill our stomachs first, and then we can make a long-term plan."

The three of them walked into the restaurant and found a seat by the window. The restaurant was bustling with people, all enjoying their meals and chatting away.

"Have you heard? Someone died in Cailian Manor again!" A burly man said in a low voice.

"Oh, how many times has this happened?" another thin man sighed, "What a sin!"

"I heard that all the brides that Master Guo married were killed by monsters!" A shifty-eyed man said mysteriously.

"Monster? Don't talk nonsense!" A timid woman turned pale with fear. "Where in the world are there any monsters?"

"Of course not?" The shifty-eyed man curled his lips. "I saw it with my own eyes. That monster had a green face and fangs, was over ten feet tall, and could swallow a person in one gulp!"

"Have you seen it? Where did you see it?" the burly man asked.

"It's right here at Cailian Manor!" the shifty-eyed man said triumphantly. "That night, I passed by Cailian Manor and saw a dark figure scurrying out from inside. That figure and speed definitely weren't human!"

"Just brag!" The thin man said in disbelief, "I think you're just drunk and your eyes are blurry!"

"Believe it or not!" the shifty-eyed man snorted coldly, "Anyway, I don't dare go near Cailian Manor again!"

While eating, Li Xiangyi listened carefully to the conversations of the diners and thought to himself.

Fang Duobing was also listening with great interest. He turned to Li Xiangyi and said, "Li Lianhua, it seems that the murder case at Cailian Manor has become a hot topic among the people."

Li Xiangyi nodded and said, "Although these rumors cannot be fully trusted, they may contain some clues. We can take this opportunity to inquire about the news from them."

Li Xiangyi put down his chopsticks, stood up, walked to the next table, and said with a bow, "Excuse me, everyone. We are from out of town and new to your precious place. We don't know much about the situation here. I just heard you talking about the murder case in Cailian Manor. Could you please tell us in detail?"

Seeing that Li Xiangyi had an extraordinary demeanor, several diners did not dare to neglect him and told him everything they knew.

"Young Master, you don't know, Guo Qian has a terrible temper!" said the burly man. "He beats and scolds his servants at the slightest provocation. He's a complete tyrant!"

"That's right, and he's also extremely lustful!" the thin man added, "Over the years, he's married seven or eight wives, but none of them lasted more than three years!"

"I think this Guo Qian is a jinx!" said the shifty-eyed man. "Whoever marries him will be unlucky!"

As he was speaking, a man in fancy clothes walked in. It was Guo Huo. As soon as he entered the door, he shouted, "Waiter, bring me a table of good wine and good food!"

The waiter recognized Guo Huo and hurriedly bowed and greeted him: "Mr. Guo, you are here! Please come in and have a seat!"

Li Xiangyi saw this and quickly stood up and said, "Mr. Guo, what a coincidence! Why don't you sit together?"

Guo Huo glanced at Li Xiangyi and seemed a little reluctant, but under Li Xiangyi's enthusiastic invitation, he reluctantly agreed.

Just then, the waiter came over with a plate of food and interrupted Guo Huo.

"Dear guests, your dishes are here!" The waiter put the dishes on the table and turned to leave.

Qiao Wanwan looked at the dishes on the table and frowned slightly: "Strange, why is there no cilantro on this dish?"

"Maybe the store owner forgot to put it in." Fang Duobing said.

"No." Qiao Wanwan shook her head. "I just saw that the dishes at other tables all had cilantro, but ours didn't."

"What's so strange about that?" Fang Duobing said nonchalantly, "Maybe the store owner saw that there were so many of us and was worried that there wouldn't be enough cilantro."

"No." Qiao Wanwan still felt something was wrong. "I always feel that the owner of this store seems to pay special attention to us."

"Sister Luo, you're overthinking it." Fang Duobing said, "We're not important people, why would the boss lady pay attention to us?"

"Fang Xiaobao, what Sister Luo said makes sense." Li Xiangyi said, "The proprietress of this store is indeed a bit strange."

"Li Lianhua, do you think so too?" Fang Duobing asked in surprise.

"Yeah." Li Xiangyi nodded. "From the moment we walked in, I noticed that the proprietress's eyes were fixed on us. Moreover, she even specially replaced the dish for us with one without cilantro. There must be a reason for this."

Li Xiangyi nodded thoughtfully, his eyes swept around the store, and finally fell on the busy proprietress behind the counter.

The proprietress was about forty years old. Although she was no longer young, she still had charm. Her eyes were particularly bright and she glanced at Li Xiangyi and the others from time to time.

"Fang Xiaobao, go to the counter and ask the boss lady why there is no coriander in our dishes." Li Xiangyi whispered.

Although Fang Duobing was confused, he still stood up and walked towards the counter.

He walked to the counter, cleared his throat, and asked, "Boss, why is there no cilantro on our dish?"

The proprietress looked up at Fang Duobing, a hint of imperceptible panic flashed in her eyes, but she quickly regained her composure.

She smiled and said, "Sir, I'm so sorry. Maybe the staff made a mistake in their rush and forgot to put it in. How about I ask them to make a new dish?"

"No, no." Fang Duobing waved his hand, "I'm just asking casually."

After saying that, he turned around and returned to his seat.

"How is it? What did the boss lady say?" Li Xiangyi asked.

"She said maybe the guys forgot to put it in." Fang Duobing repeated what the proprietress said.

"Oh? Really?" Li Xiangyi frowned even more tightly. "It seems that there is indeed something wrong with this store."

"Li Lianhua, do you suspect that this store is related to the murder case in Cailian Manor?" Qiao Wanwan asked softly.

"It's hard to say right now." Li Xiangyi shook his head, "But the owner of this store must know something."

"Then what should we do next?" Fang Duobing asked.

"Let's eat first and talk after we finish eating." Li Xiangyi said.

They stopped talking and started eating in silence.
