"Fill in the lamp oil." she said.
"Alright, I'll go get it now."
The waiter took out some lamp oil to fill it. After he was done, he asked again, "Is there anything else, sir?"
"Go down." she whispered.
The waiter closed the door and left.
"Sable, come out." Hua Ruge shouted.
With a flash of purple shadow, the sable appeared. Hua Ruge left after instructing for a while, closing the window and leaving through the entrance. He took off his shoes and placed them in his storage ring, then went around to the main entrance and entered.
The waiter was walking down the stairs, and upon seeing Hua Ruge, he asked enthusiastically: "The guests have returned, that place is pretty good right?"
"It's not bad, but after walking around, I'm hungry again. Give me some good dishes and wine." Hua Ruge casually picked a table and sat down.
"Alright, please wait a moment." As the waiter said this, he went to the kitchen to greet them.
Normally, there wouldn't be many guests in this small room. When it was night time and the students were sleeping, the hall would be quiet without any other guests.
Soon, the waiter returned with two bottles of wine and said, "Sir, please enjoy your meal. The hot dishes will be served soon."
"Go back to work." Hua Ruge poured a cup of wine for himself and slowly tasted it.
When the waiter returned with the dishes, Hua Ruge had already finished half a pot of wine. He squinted and asked: "What time is it?"
"Reporting to the guests, it's already late."
Hua Ruge nodded.
"Bam."
At that moment, the sound of something falling to the ground came from the room on the third floor.
The waiter ran upstairs and knocked on the door. "What can I do for you, sir?"
There was no sound from inside. The waiter pushed the door open and walked back.
"Weird, he probably hasn't slept yet, why isn't anyone making any noise." The waiter muttered.
The corner of Hua Ruge's mouth raised slightly, he put down the cup and said: "I'm almost done eating, I'm going back to my room."
In the room on the second floor, the sable was waiting for her. It was the sound it made when it overturned the chair.
"Little Marten is so obedient, I'll refine them for you later." She held the sable in her arms and rubbed its small head.
The sable seemed to have already gotten used to her touch and gradually stopped resisting.
The second day, knocked on Hua Ruge's door as the coaches gathered.
Hua Ruge opened the door in a daze and said: "When will I be able to sleep well?
"Lay on your bed and quickly wash up." Yan Zixing was also helpless against her.
Hua Ruge nodded repeatedly. Just as he was about to go wash up, he heard someone shout from the third floor, "Shangguan Chuyun, it's time to wake up."
She didn't even raise her eyes as she continued to wash her face.
"Did something happen?"
"What can happen? He must have slept."
"Kick the door open first."
"Bam!"
The door opened, and very quickly, a boy ran down the stairs and shouted, "Instructor, it's bad, Shangguan Chuyun, he ? "Dead ?"
When Hua Ruge went downstairs, his instructor Gao Chen had already asked everyone if they had seen anything abnormal. Everyone shook their heads, and Hua Ruge rubbed his sleepy eyes, shaking his head as well.
The coroner and official arrived very quickly. The official then asked, "Who contacted him last night?"
The waiter stood up and said, "It was me. I filled the lamp oil for this guest once in the morning. At that time, this young master was sitting on the bed."
"What did you tell him?"
"I didn't say anything. I filled the lamp oil and went downstairs. At that time, I coincidentally met this young master." The waiter pointed at Hua Ruge, afraid that he would be suspected.
But thinking about it, how could he, someone who had never cultivated before, kill Shangguan Chuyun?
"Yes, when I came in, the waiter was downstairs." Hua Ruge was the witness.
The official did not suspect him and asked again, "Has anyone else entered his room, or is there any movement?"
"I didn't see anyone else enter, but I heard some noise in the room around midnight. I went to greet them and found the door locked.
Thinking that he might have gone to sleep, he stopped knocking on the door. Oh yeah, that young master was drinking downstairs at that time, he heard it too. "
The waiter pointed at Hua Ruge.
Hua Ruge nodded, "Yes, it seems to be the sound of something heavy landing on the ground."
"Why did he fall asleep when the sound was just made? Something must have happened at this time." After the official analyzed the situation, everyone nodded their heads in agreement.
The coroner came over after the examination. "Sire, this man died of a fatal injury. There were no unnecessary injuries on his body. He was killed in one slash."
"To his room." The official said with a frown.

Hua Ruge silently followed.
The official began to check the tracks.
"There are footprints on the windowsill, and there are also footprints on the floor. This person came in through the window." This was quickly discovered by an official.
He then looked down again, and there were indeed identical footprints.
"Judging from the depth of the footprints, this person should weigh around 150 pounds. Judging by the size, it should be an adult male. Judging from the pattern of the footprints, it seems to be a local pattern. They are not damaged at all. They should be new shoes."
The officer analyzed.
Someone next to him had drawn patterns on paper and remembered the size.
"It's very possible that the killer bought new shoes in order to not leave any traces of himself. Go to each of the big shoe stores to check and see how many shoes with this pattern were sold yesterday. Do they still have any impression of the person who bought them? Count them out for me and search for the culprit."
"Also, ask the people nearby if they saw anyone climbing up the window. Also, since the killer wants to hide, he might throw away his shoes. So, ask the beggar if he found any new shoes."
The official said. He looked very experienced.
Hua Ruge rubbed his nose, thinking that luckily he was careful. He had stolen the shoes, and hadn't thrown them into the space yet.
Furthermore, she still had an extremely adequate proof of not being able to attend, and she had almost no connection with Shangguan Chuyun, so it was impossible for these people to find her, no matter how hard they tried, to kill her with a single move.
However, she had not expected the officials of ancient times to be so intelligent. If she had been a little bit careless, she might have been caught red-handed.
Because of this case, everyone stayed here for two days, and the officials were able to find a lot of suspicious points.
For example, if Shangguan Chuyun knew the killer, it would seem like it was already agreed upon. Otherwise, there would be traces of struggle.
According to the waiter, the room was filled with lamp oil every morning. All the rooms were full of lamp oil that night, so why was there a shortage of room for the deceased?
The officials were very smart and very serious, but they could not do anything about the precise layout and too few clues. These were destined to become unsolvable mysteries.
The academy left behind some orders for them to continue searching and everyone left. Shangguan Chuyun was a small fry after all, to delay two days for his matter was already giving him enough face.
In fact, very few people in this group took him seriously, including Hua Ruge.
