"What's wrong with those two people?" Lin Mo looked at him with a puzzled expression.

"They have no problem."

"Then why follow them?"

Su Shi said: "Because I want to know who will ask them about our conversation. There is something wrong with the person who asked them."

Lin Mo still didn't understand, but Su Shi didn't want to explain to him at this time, so Lin Mo had no choice but to follow him.

After Lin Mo left, Su Shi was not in a hurry to check what was in his arms. He still stood quietly in front of the gate of Zui Foreign Country, thinking over his plan again.

You are the last person the person who commits suicide comes into contact with, and the other person will definitely pay attention to your every move.

The reason why Su Shi wanted to stand in front of Zui Foreign Country and talk to the government officials was because he wanted to attract the other party's attention. Those people would definitely be interested in the content of their conversation.

It should be easy for the other party to find out your identity. As the second son of the General's Mansion, these people naturally dare not act rashly, so they will naturally go to the two government officials.

So Lin Mo will definitely gain something by following them.

But Su Shi was not willing to wait for the result here, because he learned from the two government officials that there were many strange things about this matter.

No one appears out of thin air, let alone a drunk person.

A drunk person's behavior will definitely be different from that of a normal person, and it will be easier to attract others' attention. However, no one had any impression of this drunk person before he appeared in a foreign land.

Moreover, no one seemed to remember the other two people who appeared in Zui Foreign Country, which made Su Shi feel strange.

Su Shi stood at the door and looked forward. Next to Zui Foreign Country was an inn, and beyond that was a rouge shop. Behind the rouge shop was the Ngee An River.

His eyes naturally fell on the inn.

Judging from what we know so far, the middle-aged man most likely came out of the inn and broke into the drunken place, so he didn't attract more people's attention.

At this time, the landlady appeared in front of him. Seeing Su Shi still standing at the door, staring into the distance, she couldn't help but ask, "Master, what are you looking at?"

Su Shi looked back and saw that it was the boss's wife. She still looked frightened. She shook her head and said with relief, "It's nothing. I just sat for a long time and wanted to stand for a while."

The landlady didn't see Lin Mo and asked again, "Where are the young master's followers?"

Su Shi smiled: "He has something to do, so he left first."

The landlady said oh and stopped talking. Su Shi suddenly asked, "Don't you know Lin Mo?"

"Lin Mo?" The landlady looked at Su Shi blankly and asked, "Who is he?"

"That's my follower."

The landlady smiled and said: "Young Master is joking. I just met you for the first time today. How can I possibly know him and his entourage?"

Su Shi asked again: "Are you familiar with the inn next door?"

"What? The young master wants to stay in a hotel?" The landlady looked at Su Shi doubtfully, because she saw that Su Shi was a nobleman in the capital, how could he stay in a hotel outside.

"I'm just asking casually."

The landlady replied: "That inn is run by Hu people, and basically all the people living in it are Hu people."

Then the landlady paused and continued with disgust: "Those barbarians don't like to take baths, and they like to eat mutton. They wear clothes made of sheepskin for a long time, and they are covered in the smell of sheep. It smells so bad that only people who don't know how to do it Go and stay there. Even when I pass by that inn, I feel like I’m covered in that smell.”

Hearing what the landlady said, Su Shi had doubts about his judgment again, because when he helped the middle-aged man up, he only smelled the smell of alcohol, but not any sheep odor.

If the middle-aged man was drunk in the inn, he should have the smell of sheep lingering on him.

However, Su Shi still had to go and see it on the spot to be sure, so he paid the bill and left his hometown.

After leaving Zuihejiang, Su Shi did not go directly to the inn, but strolled leisurely in the opposite direction.

Every square in the capital is rectangular. Although Su Shi was walking in the opposite direction of the inn, he walked around one or two streets and then went around the street on the right. After going around twice, he had arrived at the back door of the inn.

However, when he came to the back door of the inn, he did not go in. He just looked at the inn with a frown.

Because as the landlady said, even if you pass by the inn, you can smell the strong smell of sheep. If the middle-aged man was really drunk in the inn, whether he was drunk by himself or was forced to get drunk, , it’s impossible not to get this smell on your body.

Su Shi touched his nose and continued walking forward, arriving at the Ngee'an River.

People come and go by the Nghe An River, and from time to time you will hear someone talking about the middle-aged man who committed suicide by jumping into the river.

Then Su Shi couldn't help but sigh, because it was only a short journey and he had heard at least three versions of the story about the middle-aged man jumping into the river.

However, Su Shi was also certain that if that person drunkenly walked into a drunken place along the Ngee'an River, he would definitely attract the attention of others.

After all, there are too many idle people in the capital, and any small thing may attract others to watch, let alone a person who behaves strangely.

So at this moment, Su Di was standing by the Ngee Ann Bridge, looking at the back door of Zui Foreign Country, and really couldn't figure out how the drunken middle-aged man managed to break into Zui Foreign Country without concealing it from so many people.

Su Shi naturally wouldn't believe that the man appeared out of thin air, but there was no reasonable explanation for everything that happened so far.

But Su Shi didn't feel frustrated at all. Instead, he felt that this matter was getting more and more mysterious, interesting, and even fun.

The only clue in his hand now was the piece of silk in his arms, but Su Shi didn't seem to have any intention of taking it out to check.

Because he knew that there must be many pairs of eyes staring at him in this crowded crowd.

At this moment, he suddenly saw a thin and frail figure in the crowd, and he quickly jumped into a remote alley.

Su Shi's heart moved, and he walked towards the alley because he wanted to confirm something.

This is a dead end, and basically no one goes in or out. So as soon as Su Shi walked into the alley, the hustle and bustle seemed to be cut off from the alley, leaving only desertion and loneliness.

The alley was not long. Su Shi came to the corner within a few steps and saw the group of children.

Two young children were jumping around the cesspool, with happy smiles on their faces and cheerful laughter from time to time.

Two of the three older children were leaning against the corner, their eyes gone. Another little girl stood beside the two young children, constantly telling them to be careful.

The oldest boy stood outside. When Su Shi appeared, he kept looking at Su Shi with vigilant eyes.

Although he recognized Su Shi and had a good impression of Su Shi, because Su Shi was the first person who didn't dislike Zui Foreign Country because of them.

But when Su Shi appeared here, he still maintained a strong sense of vigilance.
