There was far too much food; it was impossible to finish it all.
After hurriedly eating until she was about 80-90% full, Yu Yaqing asked the Inspector, “How many floors are there in total here?”
“If you include the basement, four,” replied the Inspector.
“And which room is locked?” Yu Yaqing asked again.
The Inspector laughed at the question, not quite answering her. “Dear bride, please do not open the locked room, otherwise the Duke will be very angry. Trust me, you won’t want to see that.”
Yu Yaqing frowned. “I don’t necessarily need to open it, but I do need to know where it is!”
“The locked room is naturally somewhere in this mansion,” said the Inspector.
It seemed he had no intention of enlightening them any further.
Yu Yaqing put down her utensils and stood up, turning to Hu Ya, “Are you full? We don’t have much time. If each floor has 128 rooms, we will need to start exploring every room before sunset, and we must hurry up!”
Everyone had already eaten a bit and was not too hungry, so they all stood up, ready to leave.
Only Bai Youwei didn’t move.
“Aren’t you coming?” asked Zhu Shu.
“Oh, I haven’t had enough to eat yet. You all go on,” Bai Youwei casually cut into her pancake, “Besides, it’s not convenient for me to climb stairs. I’ll investigate the rooms on this floor once I have finished eating.”
Everyone found that reasonable and began to leave the dining room.
Zhu Shu glanced at Bai Youwei and followed Su Man out.
The grand dining hall was left with only Bai Youwei and the Inspector at opposite ends of the table.
Bai Youwei ate her food and mumbled to herself:
“The roasted pig is too big, I can’t fit it in. But I could take some of the steaks, roast chicken, meatballs… Never mind, I should put it in the freezer. The fridge is for fruits and vegetables… Can’t reach it? Then you’d better bring a chair and stand on it.”
The Inspector politely smiled, “May I ask, do you need me to assist you with anything?”
Bai Youwei was startled and glanced at him, “I wasn’t talking to you.”
The Inspector:
After swallowing her food, Bai Youwei spoke again, “Could you leave? I don’t like to be watched while I’m eating.”
The corners of the Inspector’s mouth curled into a slightly cold smile, “Of course. Then, please enjoy your meal.”
He gave a slight bow before leaving.
As he passed by Bai Youwei, he noticed that most of her plates were empty and couldn’t help but mock, “If the Duke could see how much his bride eats, he would be quite…”
His sentence hung halfway, unable to be finished.
Because he saw a fluffy toy rabbit crawl out from under the tablecloth! It jumped onto the table following Bai Youwei’s shoulder, then dragged away an entire plate of pan-seared salmon!
The Inspector’s beautiful blue eyes were wide in surprise!
The rabbit hopped off the table, quickly disappearing under the tablecloth. After a while, it emerged again. This time, it had taken away a dish of chocolate mousse!
“How could you!…” Shocked, the Inspector strode over and pulled up the tablecloth covering the table in front of Bai Youwei!
“Hey!” Bai Youwei exclaimed, irritated, “You stained my dress!”
The Inspector stood still in front of the table.
Underneath, the fluffy rabbit held a key in its paw, turning it halfway and opening the door of a dollhouse!
The rabbit held the chocolate mousse over its head and rushed into the house!
“Why doesn’t the system judge you as breaking the rules?!”
The Inspector turned around to question Bai Youwei, his tone was furious and urgent. He tore off his gentlemanly facade, leaving behind only anger and ferocity!
“Why would I be breaking the rules?” Bia Youwei, shaking the oil stains off her dress and frowning, asked, “Doesn’t your game allow for the use of props?”
The Inspector: “Of course, you can use props, but your props!…”
“If that is the case, then there are no problems,” she replied with a light smile, “I’ve merely used some props.”
“But! There shouldn’t be these types of props!” he angrily pointed at the entrance of the dollhouse and then at the rabbit that just came out of the dollhouse, “These props, and this prop, the system shouldn’t allow these types of equilibrium-disturbing props to exist!”
