Chapter Seventy-Two: Before the Killing

"Open the door! Open the door! ”

Just as the knife was about to cut Qiao Shi's neck, there was a knock on the door outside. 【Fengyun Reading Network. 】

The shopkeeper was already doing a bad thing again, and was startled by this knock on the door. The knife didn't cut off and fell to the side.

"Open the door, open the door." The shopkeeper wiped the sweat from his forehead and said.

At this point, Xiao Er no longer instigated the shopkeeper to kill. I went to the front with the shopkeeper first, and across the door, Xiao Er asked, "Who!" ”

"People from the government! Some of you have reported to the police that they are dead! Open the door! ”

After this sentence, the two people looked at each other. I didn't expect the people from the government to come so late, and I didn't expect it to come by such a coincidence.

Xiao Er glanced at the shopkeeper, and the shopkeeper nodded, signaling that Xiao Er could open the door.

The door was opened, and several people from the government stood in front of them, their faces full of displeasure.

"Are you dead? Take us to see it. One said.

The shopkeeper and Xiao Er nodded submissively and led a few people up to the second floor.

When this group of people came, the momentum was a little louder. It wasn't too late at night, and some of the people in the rooms didn't sleep. was tossed like this, and they came out one after another to scold the shopkeeper, but as soon as they came out, they saw a group of officers and soldiers.

It was only after this that the group learned that the man had died.

The officers and soldiers entered, and the shopkeeper followed. A group of people who joined in the excitement followed behind, and everyone originally wanted to scold the shopkeeper, but now the officers and soldiers are here, and no one dares to speak.

When he entered the room, the shopkeeper pointed to the person lying there and said, "Sir, this is it." ”

"Oh?"

The officers and soldiers went up to look at the man, and it was still the dead body, the wound was wrapped in a medicinal cloth, and it looked a little weird and thin.

"Shopkeeper, is this your guest here?" The officer asked.

"Exactly." The shopkeeper replied.

"Then you have all his stuff? Tell me his name, how long he's been here, and when he's dead! ”

With these three questions in a row, the shopkeeper suddenly made a difficulty. Although this man lives here, if he says who this man is, the shopkeeper really can't answer.

"This..." The shopkeeper was speechless.

The officers and soldiers obviously saw the change in the shopkeeper's expression, and under the successive questions, the shopkeeper was completely panicked. I told the past shopkeeper that this was a guest of the shopkeeper who came over, but I hid some things that the shopkeeper didn't want them to know.

Hearing this, the officers and men were obviously not as arrogant as they had just been. The reason why they came so late was because there were some things that people on the road had explained. There are many people involved in this shopkeeper's opening of a shop, so he warned the officers and soldiers not to ask deeply about the past of this shop. When the officers and soldiers saw this, they really had a connection with the past shopkeeper. At the moment, he didn't ask anymore, but instead made a few official tones, let the shopkeeper look here, and went back with the soldiers.

It's a farce, these guys are coming and gone. There is no result, not even a process. The shopkeeper originally thought that these people would stay here with at least two soldiers to watch, but he didn't expect that there was nothing left.

But this toss, the people who originally lived here stopped doing it. I came here to stay here just to stop, and I ended up staying with a corpse for so long, and no one would be happy. The shopkeeper and Xiao Er hurriedly persuaded everyone together, plus there was no other place to live nearby. In the end, it became the shopkeeper to take some less money from these people, and let the gang go tomorrow.

When this was over, the shopkeeper returned to his room with a tired face. Thinking back to the events of today's day is like a dream.

But this is not a dream.

Qiao Shi, a big living person, was lying there upright, occupying the shopkeeper's bed. The shopkeeper thought about it, thought of Qiao Shi's appearance just now, and didn't dare to lie down.

"You, you, you say you, I can't kill you or not." The shopkeeper muttered to himself.

He is embarrassed now, and there will be officers and soldiers here tomorrow. If you want to kill Joe, you have to do it tonight. But looking at Qiao Shi's appearance before and after, it didn't look like he had heard the conversation between the two of them at all. It's not so much to kill him as to prevent worries, but to control his demons.

The knife was still there, and the candle flame flickered, and it was a little murderous. The shopkeeper took the knife first, just in case Qiao Shi woke up, he had no countermeasures.

In fact, if you want to talk about how he got the teahouse, there are many people who know. But suddenly being known by such an outsider, the shopkeeper was more or less unhappy.

Raising the kitchen knife and swallowing his saliva, the shopkeeper stepped forward and lifted Qiao Shi's quilt.

Qiao Shi's whole body was huddled in the quilt, looking like it was very cold. But in this hot summer, covered with a quilt, it will never be cold. His eyes were swollen and red from crying, and even now in his sleep, he was sobbing softly.

The shopkeeper stretched out his left hand and wanted to touch Qiao Shi's head.

He had completely settled down and was ready to do this. If you don't respond when you touch Joe, you can't respond to it when you find a few more places to itch, then you are sleeping to death and you don't hear it. If there is a reaction, go down with a knife and leave no room alive.

Slowly stretched out his hand, but as if he had found it, Qiao Shi directly grabbed the shopkeeper's hand and stuffed it to his chest.

"Alas!"

The shopkeeper shouted, and in a panic, the knife fell to the ground. Qiao Shi almost pulled the shopkeeper to the bed, and the shopkeeper hurriedly pulled out before pulling his hand out.

It doesn't matter if this hand is pulled out, the thing on Qiao Shi's chest fell out directly.

The shopkeeper pulled out his hand and sat on the ground gasping for air.

"Dog J thief! You! ”

After taking a breath, the shopkeeper stood up again and stepped forward.

At this glance, it was not Qiao Shi who looked at it, but what Qiao Shi was around.

The thing glittered in the candlelight, and the shopkeeper couldn't help but look at it.

Gently hold the thing in your hand, it is a package. This package was discovered by Geng Yong, and this rough man knotted the package into an ugly dead knot.

Through the cracks in the dead knot, the appearance of this thing was revealed.

The five-clawed golden dragon inside made the shopkeeper tremble.

Even the most ordinary people know the meaning of the five-clawed golden dragon. The shopkeeper hurriedly put down the package, and the knife in his hand fell to the ground again.

"Could it be that this is a royal man?" The shopkeeper thought to himself, but he was glad that he hadn't done it just now.

The knife fell to the ground, and the shopkeeper kicked it several times and hid it aside.

He didn't know who this Qiao Shi was, but there was this before and after, and it seemed that it was easy to explain. Maybe it's the royal guys, because some problems came out. Displaced everywhere, so painful, it must have been a sad thought in a dream.

But he said he was from the South?

The south, not the capital.
