Chapter 380 I don't remember
Upon hearing this, the black bear-man merely glanced at Yan Xun and said, "Many."
"You usually stay at the Gao family's house and never leave?" Yan Xun asked again.
The bear-man shifted his position, still lying on the table, but propped his head up with one hand as he looked at Yan Xun, saying, "I can't leave the Gao family."
“Just like you guys.” The bear-man yawned again. “Without Master Gao’s permission, no one can easily leave the Gao family.”
“But I heard that the Gao family has some servants who are in charge of purchasing.” He looked at the black bear-like man. “Are they also not allowed to leave the Gao family?”
“Of course they have Master Gao’s permission, and they carry tokens.” Although the black bear man seemed uncooperative, he generally responded to their questions.
The entire Gao family was an ironclad unit; everyone obediently listened to Master Gao's words, like quails.
After thinking it over, Yan Xun realized that only this black bear man was different. He not only disrespected Master Gao, but his words were also full of sarcasm—he was probably an NPC assigned by the instance to provide clues.
"Do you usually live alone in this courtyard?" Yan Xun thought of the cell phone hidden in the stove and woodpile, and the anti-detection device that seemed out of place in the kitchen. "Don't the other members of the Gao family come here?"
"Not even a fly would come," the black bear-man sneered. "But you guys are more annoying than flies..."
"Every now and then..."
"Us?" Yan Xun looked at the black-haired man. "You mean the other ladies?"
"Besides us, who else has come here?"
Unexpectedly, the black bear man, who had been speaking his mind, suddenly fell silent at this moment.
He lay down on the table again, pretending he couldn't hear Yan Xun speaking.
Gao Wen, listening from the side, was completely confused. He felt that this instance was strange. He tugged at Yan Xun's sleeve and asked, "What do you say? Should we continue looking for the phone, or leave immediately?"
“I suspect that Master Gao probably knows about our attempt to climb over the wall,” he said to Yan Xun. “That old man is like a monster.”
He felt that Master Gao was not quite right, and that the entire Gao family was eerily sinister.
"I originally thought it was a casual dungeon." Gawain glanced back at the woodshed.
But the strange rules of the Gao family, and the unusual presence of a modern cell phone in the kitchen, make the whole story even more mysterious.
"Never mind, let's leave first," Yan Xun said.
He wasn't afraid of being discovered trying to climb over the wall to leave; it would be a much bigger problem if the phones he had deliberately hidden there were found.
There were four people in the Polaroid camera: himself, Gu Jia, Li Wu, and Lou Yanchuan.
After thinking it over, Yan Xun decided to go find Gu Jia first.
Li Wu was busy investigating the records and results of the banquet held by the Gao family. Lou Yanchuan was nowhere to be found, leaving only Gu Jia as a potential ally.
……
Gu Jia's place was some distance from the Black Bear Man's yard.
It is the courtyard furthest from the ancestral hall.
Sun Zhao and Gu Jia lived in the same courtyard. Although she found it a bit strange to see Yan Xun and Gu Jia, she remembered that she had to pay her respects to them every day, so she nodded and let Yan Xun and Gu Jia come with her to Gu Jia's room.
The servants in the courtyard probably all knew that no one in this courtyard was favored by Master Gao, so everyone was good at slacking off. When Sun Zhao told them they didn't need to serve him, they simply closed the door and left.
As soon as the servants left, Gawain couldn't help but ask, "You absolutely won't believe what we've discovered!"
Sun Zhao glanced at Gao Wen, then looked at Yan Xun, "What?"
Yan Xun looked at Gu Jia, who was sitting to the side with her bangs still covering half of her face, and said, "It has something to do with you."
Gu Jia looked up when he heard Yan Xun's voice. He slowly pointed to himself and asked, "Me?" He seemed not to understand what this had to do with him.
Yan Xun sat opposite Gu Jia. "We might have known each other before."
Sun Zhao: "?"
"Didn't you know each other before?" he couldn't help but say. "Aren't all the people in this instance familiar?"
"What new clues have you discovered?" He looked back and forth between Gao Wen and Yan Xun. "Stop keeping me in suspense and tell me quickly."
"We found two cell phones in the courtyard of that mysterious person behind the ancestral hall," Yan Xun said briefly.
When they heard the keyword "cell phone," both Sun Zhao and Gu Jia froze.
Sun Zhao even picked at his ear in confusion, "...Did I hear wrong?"
"Are you sure you're talking about cell phones, not the edible kind?"
"It's the latest Apple phone!" Gao Wen couldn't help but exclaim.
Even Gu Jia, whose face rarely showed much emotion, showed a hint of confusion. He subconsciously looked at Yan Xun and asked, "What does this have to do with me?"
"I am the owner of this phone?"
“I don’t know if it’s you,” Yan Xun said, looking at him, “but there was a Polaroid photo tucked into the back of one of the phones.”
"The photo shows me, you, Li Wu, and Lou Yanchuan."
"The person on my phone's lock screen is me."
For a moment, Gu Jia's expression wavered... His hand, which was under the table, clenched nervously. "So you think that's my phone."
"Why didn't you just admit it?!" Gao Wen couldn't help but say, "You didn't say it was your phone!"
"I just suspect the phone belongs to one of the other three people in the Polaroid camera, or someone else." Gao Wen said, looking Gu Jia up and down, his mind starting to race.
Could the phone really be Gao Wen's? What does that mean?
mischief?
“Anyway, that phone isn’t mine.” Yan Xun leaned back slightly. “I can’t unlock it.”
Hearing Yan Xun say this, Gao Wen felt slightly relieved, but couldn't help feeling a little disappointed.
He slowly shook his head. "...I don't know."
"I don't remember this."
“We don’t have any memory of this,” Yan Xun said subconsciously, but he quickly paused.
Gu Jia and the others noticed his pause.
"What?" Sun Zhao asked.
“I don’t remember this, and I believe Gu Jia doesn’t remember it either,” Yan Xun said slowly.
He looked at the people in the room, and finally said, "But there's one person..."
"We might have to ask him to find out."
—For example, ask Lou Yanchuan why he promised to go to the Black Bear Man's yard to investigate, but in the end he didn't go.
