[You are Shu Huajiang, you are twenty years old now. 】

[When you were young, you were abandoned by your parents. Thanks to the love of the old manor owner, he made an exception and allowed you to work as a gardener in the manor. 】

[But not long ago, your father who once abandoned you came to your door and asked you to steal things from the manor to him so that he could sell them to pay off his gambling debts. 】

[After being rejected by you, your father went to Butler Li to ask for your wages, which made him very unhappy. 】

[This matter has reached the ears of the current manor owner, who wants to fire you and has already given your wages to your father. 】

[Today is your last day of work at the manor. But just this morning, the manor owner was found dead in his bedroom. 】

[There are six suspects in total.

Butler Li, who is responsible for coordinating all arrangements for the manor and taking care of the sick and sick owner of the manor;

A young man who accidentally breaks into the manor to stay temporarily and has evil intentions becomes a guest;

The arrogant Miss Meng who claims to be the cousin of the old manor owner comes to visit;

Xiao reporter, who came here under the pretext of writing an interview for the old manor owner but also for other purposes;

Chef Wen, a young chef who came here six months ago and is obsessed with countless secrets;

And Gardener Shu, who was about to be fired by the manor owner because his wages were transferred to his father who was in debt, that is you...]

Shu Li woke up in a small room of less than ten square meters. In front of her was a crudely made wooden house, which was pretty good for being able to keep out wind and rain.

She was lying on a single bed, the mattress beneath her covered with patches.

In addition to this single bed, there is a simple clothes rack in the room with a few old-looking clothes on it.

There is a wooden bench next to the single bed with basic thread-bound books on it.

A room and environment that fit the character’s identity well.

The information given by the panel does not end.

[You heard the news that the owner of the manor asked you to leave last night. Butler Li gave you ten copper coins out of sympathy. 】

[Afterwards, you go to the manor owner to plead for mercy. But the other party didn't see you, and even scolded you and told you to get out of here. 】

[Thus, you have resentment towards the owner of the manor. 】

[As the gardener in the manor, you clearly know that the manor owner will go to the garden to read every afternoon, so you put a ball of earthworms on the gazebo in the garden, intending to scare the cruel young manor owner into She suffered. 】

[Because the owner of the manor died in the morning, you will become the only innocent suspect! 】

[The real murderer will attack others in order to escape guilt. Please find the real murderer as soon as possible and end this dream! 】

[Note: If there are less than two survivors in this field except the real murderer, you will be trapped in this dream forever! 】

[Limited time for this copy: three days]

At this point, the information has been received.

Shu Li felt it. Except for providing her with information, all other functions of the panel were disabled.

Shu Li opened the door and walked out, and immediately saw the gorgeous main building of the manor standing directly in front.

[As a gardener, you cannot enter the garden or any area outside the backyard at will, unless you get permission from the manor owner or housekeeper! 】

The prompt on the panel appeared in time, interrupting Shu Li's desire to go over and take a look.

She turned her gaze back to the house, where there were actually many things that could be called clues.

The books beside the bed are about flower cultivation, and they show signs of frequent reading.

The clothes on the hangers nearby were stained with mud, which must have been traces of the gardener turning over the soil to catch earthworms.

In addition, the clothes he changed also contained copper coins given by the housekeeper, but only eight coins were left.

Shu Li reasonably guessed that the two copper coins should have fallen where the excavation and pavilion were.

When she was about to contact these clues, the panel stopped her again.

To prevent clues from being hidden, key clues cannot be moved or touched.

Looking at it this way, it should be easier to find the real culprit.

Since she couldn't just walk around before getting permission from the housekeeper, Shu Li simply searched the area where she could walk around.

Since the owner of the manor died in her own bedroom and the housekeeper was not dead yet, but according to Rong Ge, the housekeeper was dead, then the housekeeper should not be the real murderer.

Outside the door, Shu Li looked around.

It was indeed different from the manor she had seen before. The current manor was even more luxurious than before.

In addition to Shu Li's room, there are several other similar rooms here, but they are all locked from the outside and cannot be entered temporarily.

Then all that's left is the garden.

The location of the garden is easy to find, and Shuli can see the large garden with red flowers and green willows from here.

It took Shuli about three minutes to walk from her room to the garden. After that, she walked in and focused her eyes on the ground first.

Her target was the copper coin.

But when she found the copper coins, Shu Li found that her thinking was a bit simplistic.

A copper coin fell inconspicuously on the ground. Next to it was a soil hole half a meter deep. Tiny earthworms could be vaguely seen squirming inside.

Shu Li is forbidden to touch this place. If she stays one step away, she can no longer get closer.

At this time, footsteps coming from far and near came from the outside.

Shu Li suddenly became defensive, and Li Zhi's voice suddenly sounded.

"I came to you when I saw the request, but you are very fast." He joked speciously, and then said, "Is this your way of doing things?"

"..." Shu Li originally wanted to pay attention to him, but after hearing the second half of the sentence, she said expressionlessly: "Do you think there is anything in this land that can be used to harm people?"

"That's true." Li Zhi glanced at the ground, then completely looked away: "I'm the housekeeper."

"Others have already gathered on the first floor and didn't see you. Chef Wen said that you are not allowed to wander around, so I came out to pick you up." Li Zhi simply stated the reason why he came, and then struggled for a few seconds.

"What's wrong?" Shu Li asked.

"There's something wrong with this copy." Li Zhi smiled bitterly: "The wrong seal I saw just now is not the one outside the copy."

Shu Li was a little confused and reacted silently for two seconds: "Time and space intersect?"

Li Zhi nodded: "Absolutely."

"Do you know each other?" Shu Li was only concentrating on connecting the information obtained, and did not notice how shocked Li Zhi was by asking this question.

"No...not too familiar..."

Shu Li looked at him strangely: "In this copy of time and space, you are not familiar with each other?"

Li Zhi choked and said "hmm" with great difficulty.

"That's easy to handle." Shu Li's eyes flashed slightly: "Based on your understanding of him, how can you win him over to join my team as quickly as possible?"

Li Zhi:! ! !

"What did you say?" He couldn't believe it.
