Chapter 74: A Late Night Raid
Focusing on heavy industry and developing the industrial structure, the development of Changyi County has surpassed Qingding City to some extent, but it has also made the night here less lively and popular than Qingding City.
There are a lot of passers-by on the street, but there are not many people who actually stop to chat and enjoy the shade.
For no other reason, the area of Changyi County is not large, and the large number of factories makes the outdoor air really not fresh, and this is still close to the area outside the city, and it is really in the center of the city, I am afraid it will be more serious.
Of course, Lu Jiu himself was not an urban environmental evaluator, and after having a general impression of the city, he withdrew his gaze and looked at the street near the entrance of the station instead.
He was waiting for someone to come and find him.
In order to avoid missing any valuable information as much as possible, Lu Jiu has already made up his mind to substitute himself into the state of his predecessor.
After the predecessor arrives in Changyi City, what place will he choose as a foothold, the big inn in Changyi County?
Of course not.
When the predecessor left Qingding City, he should have carried about 30 to 50 silver dollars, most of which were his savings, as well as a small part of his parents' inheritance.
Judging from the other memories obtained by Lu Jiu, the predecessor was a rather frugal person, and this money should be used to find the heart-ripping ghost, but in addition, it is natural to save money, and Lu Jiu obviously felt uncomfortable when he smelled the air of the city, and the predecessor must be no exception.
Therefore, he should be looking for a cheap place to stay, away from the smell.
While thinking about it, the person Lu Jiu was waiting for finally appeared.
A man in an old cloth coat with a half-hunched waist walked all the way from the side of the street, and before he could reach Lu Jiu, he showed a flattering smile from afar.
"Childe, I think it's the first time you've come here, I know a lot about this area, if you need anything, you can tell me directly. ”
"The environment near the station is better, the cheap inn, where do you think it is better?"
The most important thing at the station gate is this kind of soliciting people, Lu Jiu asked bluntly.
"It must be the Ningxin Inn on Xianglan Street in the south, leaning on a large field of land, as long as the window is opened, the air is very good, and because the place is relatively remote, the room is 20 copper plates cheaper than other inns. ”
As soon as he heard Lu Jiu's request, the thin man's eyes immediately became a little confused, and he looked at Lu Jiu again without a trace while speaking, he asked himself that his eyesight was not bad, and he came up to say hello when he saw that this boy's clothes and demeanor were like a rich man, who would have thought that he was actually a poor ghost.
"Thank you. ”
casually took out 5 copper plates from his pocket and put them in the man's hand, Lu Jiu turned around and left.
As Lu Jiu's back disappeared at the entrance of the station, the man who was still smiling a second ago turned around and spat on the ground, checked the copper plate in his hand, and walked towards the place where he was squatting just now.
It's just like the father and son, this man stopped a few steps out, turned around suddenly, his eyes rolled, and his face suddenly showed a bit of ecstasy.
......
According to the name, the inn is located, the operators are an old couple, and the whole inn is actually a three-story house converted from a hotel.
80 copper coins a night, which is really cheap.
Lu Jiu looked for an opportunity to ask them if they had an impression of him, and the reply he got was negative, but with their age, there was a gap of half a month, and even if they saw it, they couldn't remember it.
Under the leadership of the old woman, I looked at the guest room, although the furniture in it was simple, but the cleaning was quite clean, not as dirty and messy as imagined, Lu Jiu looked at a few rooms, picked a room on the top floor, and paid for the room for three days directly.
When you enter the house, you put your things down, and first take out the loaded shotgun Impermanence from the box and put it in a place where you can easily get it.
Lu Jiu didn't plan to go out again tonight, but took out a notepad and began to plan where he would go tomorrow.
With a temporary foothold, the next thing the predecessor had to do was to investigate the Mind Snatching Incident, and according to the habit of the interviewers when investigating the matter, they obviously preferred to find out the situation by asking people around the place of the incident rather than groping alone.
The newspaper clearly stated that the place where the Heart-Ripper appeared was in a remote mine outside Changyi, killing more than a dozen people in the middle of the night.
Shannan Mine.
If nothing else, this should be the first stop tomorrow.
After studying the map for a while and figuring out how to pass tomorrow, Lu Jiu sat back on the bed cross-legged, it was impossible to sleep, but continued to try to fully control his extraordinary abilities, he had to complete this step as soon as possible before he could carry out the next exercises.
Stay in a state of meditation and calm down to feel the changes in your body.
Time passed slowly, and the field outside the window, illuminated by the surrounding light, gradually fell into darkness.
When the knocker shouted twice, the weather was dry and dry, and the candle was ......
Pong!
The sudden sound of tiles cracking on the roof woke Lu Jiu, and the air flow surrounding him stopped flowing in an instant.
Lu Jiu, who was at the critical moment, just thought that some wild cat was running around on the roof, stretched his waist and was ready to continue, but the sudden strange sound in his ears made him stop moving.
Click~click~click~
Dense footsteps sounded in the corridor, and the people who went upstairs seemed to have deliberately suppressed their voices, but they still did not escape Lu Jiu's ears.
It's late at night, where are so many guests coming to this remote inn?
grabbed the impermanence gun and turned over and got out of bed, although Lu Jiu didn't think that these people were looking for him, but he was still careful.
However, after staying behind the door for a while, Lu Jiu was stunned to find that those footsteps never meant to stop, but went straight to the third floor......
You must know that when he checked in just now, he specially asked in order not to be disturbed, and he was the only guest on the third floor for the time being!
Withdrawing his footsteps, Lu Jiu grabbed the suitcase next to the bed and threw it directly out of the third-layer window, and immediately grabbed the backpack and walked towards the window, and just ten seconds later, the door was kicked open, sawdust flew everywhere, and several figures rushed in.
"Don't move! We are Changyi Jingye Division...... What about people?"
"Captain, the suitcase of the man in the field outside the window, is it possible for him to jump off the building. ”
"Impossible, we have also arranged people on the streets on both sides of the inn, if someone jumps off the building, they will definitely give a reminder, the roof, others are on the roof!"
The strange noise overhead alarmed the leading captain, who turned and rushed to the stairs leading to the rooftop.
However, when he went upstairs, all he saw was a figure in the night on the roof that gradually disappeared in the distance, and when the rest of the team members came up, he said in a deep voice,
"Immediately send a notice to the Inspection Department, the murderer has reappeared, presumably planning to commit the crime again...... Damn, he's going to run fast this time!"
