Chapter 12 Traces
Mengyou Tianshi and Li Tianqi left the inn by night, and three men with blue cloaks and gold and silver masks came in front of the inn. The Pen, Fun, and Pavilion www.biquge.info are the three Yang Duwei who were tracked down after the investigation in Qingshui Village.
Yang Duwei turned over and dismounted, threw the reins to the subordinates who followed him, and the two silver-masked men behind him followed closely, and the other led the horses and tied them one by one.
The shopkeeper was sleepy, yawning, and suddenly caught a glimpse of the strange three people who were stunned, but he already knew that these people were not easy to mess with, so he quickly cheered up and greeted them.
"Guest officer, may I ask if the three of you are staying in a hotel or eating?" The shopkeeper nodded at Yang Duwei.
Yang Duwei did not speak, but went inside to take a look at the situation in the inn.
"Xiao Er, have you ever had a strange person here?" Yang Duwei asked slowly.
The shopkeeper saw that Yang Duwei didn't mean to spend, but asked, and was a little unhappy, "What ......about this?"
"Little Er, don't say it soon." The silver-masked man behind Captain Yang was a little impatient.
"Hey......" Yang Duwei turned around and motioned to the silver-masked man to be silent, then took out a few taels of silver from his waist and threw it to the shopkeeper.
The shopkeeper suddenly smiled, "Guest officer, at this time, all the people who come and go are ordinary passers-by, nothing special. ”
"That'...... Is there anything strange going on? Yang Duwei asked again, still speaking slowly.
"Guest officer, if there is something really strange, it is that a few guest officers who stayed in the store left the shop early." Shopkeeper said.
"Oh?"
"There were a few guests staying in the shop, but when the little one got up to clean, he found that the guests were gone, leaving only the package, and he didn't dare to move. Still in those rooms. The shopkeeper said.
"Don't touch those packages." Yang Duwei said to the silver-masked man behind him, "Ding Hu, you go to the backyard to check, pay attention to special people, and Benduwei will go to investigate." ”
"Yes." Ding Hu gave up.
At this moment, another silver-masked man tied his horse and strode in.
Yang Duwei turned his head and glanced at him, "Su Cang, you are guarding outside, you are allowed to enter and not leave the inn here." ”
"Yes, Captain." Su Cang turned around and exited the store again.
"Captain?" When the shopkeeper heard that the other party was an official, he looked a little scared at the moment. After all, he has been in business for many years, and he needs to be very careful with official figures.
Yang Duwei seemed to have noticed it, and said to him slowly: "Don't panic, I won't embarrass you." ”
"Yes, yes." The shopkeeper was a little trembling, and took out the taels of silver with both hands.
Yang Duwei said: "This is for you, as long as you describe it in detail, if we wait for meritorious service, you will definitely have a greater reward." ”
"Master Xie. That...... Please come with me. The shopkeeper bowed down, quickly stuffed the few taels of silver into his arms, and respectfully led the way.
The inn was built in the suburbs of the mountain, covering a wide area, but the distribution of more than a dozen second-class rooms downstairs was nine curves and eighteen bends. The third-class room is the earth shop. It was a place where poor people or porters who did not have much money stayed, and since it was New Year's time, most of them only a few merchants or people who were busy with business would stay at the inn. It's even more deserted at this point.
The shopkeeper led Yang Duwei to the white-haired merchant's room, took out the key and opened the door.
"Who's room?" Yang Duwei asked.
"This is the room of an old man with white hair."
Yang Duwei stepped into the room and looked around, but he didn't find anything, just some clothes hanging at the head of the bed, and a package on the pillow.
"Open." Yang Duwei said.
"Yes." The shopkeeper walked to the head of the bed a little tremblingly, took the package to the table, and hesitated a little.
"Don't be afraid. Open it. Captain Yang ordered from the side.
"Hey." The shopkeeper flipped his hands and unwrapped the package.
Yang Duwei's eyes widened when he was hiding under the mask, and the package was opened, and there were some women's belongings, belly pockets and other things.
Yang Duwei frowned, "That's all?" ”
The shopkeeper sweated on his forehead, "Just ...... These. ”
Yang Duwei stared at the shopkeeper: "I just said that I want to describe it in detail, and if there is any concealment in the future, I will be cut immediately." ”
The shopkeeper was so frightened that he suddenly knelt on the ground and begged for mercy: "Master Jun, Master Jun, there was originally some gold and silver in the package, all of which were taken by small ones, and the others are here." Spare your life, spare your life. ”
"Humph!" Yang Duwei waved his hand: "Get up." ”
The shopkeeper hurriedly got up, "Master Jun." ”
"Nothing else?" Yang Duwei asked.
"Don't dare to hide it, there's really nothing else. Small greed for money. The shopkeeper said.
"The gold and silver are small, but if you hide it in the future, this stool will be the end." Yang Duwei raised his hand and waved his knife, and the stool became two halves in response.
The shopkeeper was like pounding garlic, and his face was pale: "Don't dare, don't dare." ”
"Forget it." Yang Duwei groaned slightly and nodded, "Let's go and have a look at other things." ”
"Yes." The shopkeeper hurriedly walked to the front to lead the way.
The two went to the hunchbacked man's room.
"This man has a hunched back, and he is a middle-aged man." The shopkeeper said cautiously.
"The broken silver in this package was also taken by the small one." When he said this, the shopkeeper glanced at Yang Duwei.
Yang Duwei ignored him, staring at the package that the shopkeeper was opening, the package was opened on the table, just some change of clothes and a product of divine oil.
"Next." Yang Duwei shook his head.
The bearded man's room was also opened.
"This man is tall and has fierce eyes." Shopkeeper said.
"But it's poor." As soon as the shopkeeper said this, he realized that he had said the wrong thing and stuck out his tongue.
"How?" Yang Duwei looked at him, "The money is all yours." ”
"Oh...... He didn't bring anything. But under the bed, the little one saw this. The shopkeeper walked to the side of the bed as he spoke, squatted down and took out two packs of things.
The shopkeeper opened two packets of things on the table, flour-like things.
"Sweat medicine." Yang Duwei's nose hidden under the mask moved slightly, with a look of disdain, and then said lightly, "These are not good birds." Next. ”
"The next one is the residence of three beautiful women." Shopkeeper said.
"Oh?" Yang Duwei stopped.
"But it's gone." The shopkeeper's voice flashed in his mind.
"Lead the way." Yang Duwei urged.
"Yes, yes." The shopkeeper ran to the front lightly and quickened his pace.
Pushing open the door of the beautiful woman's room, the shopkeeper could still smell the faint aroma of fat powder. Caught off guard, Yang Duwei passed him and ran into the room first.
This military master is too anxious, isn't the beauty already gone? The shopkeeper muttered in his heart.
Yang Duwei was already standing under the broken hole on the second floor at this time, looking up to check.
"What's going on?" Yang Duwei asked.
Hearing this, the shopkeeper hurriedly stepped into the room.
"Oh, that's the case, it's a miscellaneous Taoist priest who smashed a hole in my shop." The shopkeeper hurriedly responded.
"Hit with what? How to smash? Why smash? Yang Duwei quickened his tone and spoke aggressively.
The shopkeeper touched his head, "I really don't know about this stubble, he lost half of the gold leaf, and then I let him go." ”
Yang Duwei squatted down and looked carefully at the messy debris on the ground.
"Ming'er will call some craftsmen to repair it." Shopkeeper continued.
"What's here?" Yang Duwei asked, pointing to the fragments.
"It's nothing, when I came in, the Taoist priest, oh yes, and his apprentice, both of them were sleeping in the corner."
"There's some blood on it." Yang Duwei pinched some dust and sniffed it seriously with his nose, "It's not like human blood, and the smell of fish is relatively big." ”
The shopkeeper also sniffed it, but what he smelled was the fragrance of the beautiful woman, after all, he was not a person who practiced martial arts.
"Could it be that those two killed these people?" The shopkeeper began to guess.
Yang Duwei shook his head and stood up, he would have noticed that the fragments were stained with mist-like blood, but the blood stains had turned dark, and if he didn't identify them carefully, he would think they were dust.
He walked over to the barrel where he was bathing, and saw several feminine objects. No more was found.
"Ah......" The shopkeeper suddenly lost his voice and shouted.
Yang Duwei quickly walked over, "What's wrong?" ”
The shopkeeper pointed to the bottom of the bed.
Yang Duwei grabbed the wooden bed, lifted it and put it on the other side.
The scene under the bed made the shopkeeper suddenly can't help but vomit.
On a large pile of feces were exposed flesh and white bones, and three incomplete heads were interspersed in it, and the faces were vaguely recognizable.
Although wearing a mask, Yang Duwei couldn't help but frown. Although he has experienced countless bloody scenes, he is also quite disgusting at the moment. Apparently the feces were very fresh and there were no maggots, indicating that they had been present for a short time.
"That'...... Three. After the shopkeeper finished speaking, he vomited again.
"Demon." Yang Duwei's heart trembled.
The shopkeeper staggered to the door and continued to retch. 、
Yang Duwei's heart moved, and he rose into the air and walked through the big hole to the second floor.
The room on the second floor had tattered stools, dented walls, and a lot of blood on the floor.
The blood stains were dark red, Yang Duwei reached out and touched some of them half-squatting, put them on his nose and sniffed them, "This is human blood." ”
Obviously, this is the first scene of the fight. Yang Duwei stood up and looked around, and found nothing else abnormal.
When Yang Duwei jumped down, the shopkeeper leaned against the doorpost with a pale face, looking sluggish.
"Who's up there?" Yang Duwei looked directly at the shopkeeper.
The shopkeeper hasn't responded yet.
Yang Duwei kicked the shopkeeper, "Hey." ”
"Ahh The shopkeeper raised his eyes and looked at Yang Duwei.
"What about the people who live on the second floor in this area?" Yang Duwei asked.
"The rich boy? He...... He wasn't there, either. The shopkeeper replied, his eyes looked ahead, and he said weakly, "His two men in black are also ...... It's gone. ”
"Where is the old hairy road?" Yang Duwei thought for a while and asked.
The shopkeeper shook his head, "After dinner, the two of them went out of the store." ”
"Woo ......," Yang Duwei whistled loudly.
After a while, Ding Hu and Su Cang performed light skills and came to Yang Duwei.
"Captain." The two of them met the lieutenant with each other, but at the same time they caught a glimpse of the pile of filth.
"There's a clue. Now set out to find the old way. Yang Duwei said, "I'll tell you on the way." ”
"Yes." The two stepped aside.
Yang Duwei hurriedly walked out.
Outside the inn, the wind was already raging, lightning and thunder, and it was pouring rain.
