The leader, dressed in a coarse linen dress and a sweat towel on his shoulders, looked like a street vendor. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

He looked at the few people who were watching in the restaurant with a questioning expression, and asked anxiously.

Originally, he was still pretending to shout, but he saw a scholar rushing out of the restaurant, and he reacted and sent someone to stare at the scholar, where did he think that suddenly there was a commotion in the restaurant, and when they saw someone pouring out, and then wanted to go inside to investigate, they were blocked outside the restaurant by the crowd outside, and when the crowd dispersed, they came in, and they happened to meet these people coming out of the back hall.

The man frowned and waited for their answer.

Among those people, the first one was a man in a purple shirt and a long jacket, these people seemed to be headed by him, and they were also following him before, and now they were questioned, and they all turned their eyes to this person.

The purple-shirted man took a step forward, clasped his fists and saluted, and told him everything that had happened in the store just now.

After he finished speaking, he pointed to the seriously injured and unconscious shopkeeper Du next to his feet, and explained to their leader: "This is the shopkeeper of the restaurant, who was secretly stabbed with a knife. At that time, listening to the tone of the shopkeeper, it seemed that he didn't know the perpetrator. ”

"Did you see that man?" The leading man touched his chin, looked at the shopkeeper Du carefully, frowned tightly, and asked coldly.

"The subordinate was negligent and was run away from the back kitchen of the restaurant by that man." The man in the purple shirt replied in fear.

When the leader heard his words, his brows furrowed even tighter, and he even squatted down beside the shopkeeper Du, looked him up and down, and then asked suspiciously: "Could it be that this shopkeeper is not their person at all?" Are you mistaken, in fact, there is no one else at all, but he himself acted in such a play to get out? ”

"Master Zhang is aware of it, and he doesn't dare to lie!" The purple-shirted man looked frightened, glanced at each other with a few people around him, and then hugged his fists and bowed to defend himself: "Just now, several of us did see a figure opposite the shopkeeper Du, but because the smoke was bigger, we didn't see the appearance clearly, and the shopkeeper Du was also pushed to the feet of a few of us by that person, and then this person took the opportunity to retreat to the back kitchen, and disappeared, but according to the humble observation, the person escaped from the window nine times out of ten." ”

"It's impossible, if she climbed out of the window, I'm afraid she would have been taken down by our people a long time ago, how could there be no news until now." The leader Zhang shook his head without thinking, and when he said this, his expression suddenly changed, and he patted his thigh and stood up: "Oh no! ”

He stood up and asked the purple-shirted man, "Take me to the back kitchen and have a look!" ”

The purple-shirted man also seemed to realize that the situation was not quite right, so he quickly nodded and took the lead in walking to the back hall.

"A few of you, search the restaurant carefully, and send a few people to chase the scholar before!" The leader, Lord Zhang, turned around and pointed out a few people, commanded them, and then quickly followed the purple-shirted man and walked to the back hall.

There was a lot of smoke in the back hall, and the small kitchen was still the same as when they came in just now, without any change, but the leader Zhang carefully looked up and down the small kitchen, and even lifted the big water tank and stove in the kitchen, and did not find any secret passages at all.

Just when he touched his chin and couldn't figure it out, a gust of cold wind suddenly came from the top of his head, which made him suddenly feel excited, and suddenly raised his head and fell on the roof, just in the middle of the roof of the small kitchen, there was a hole, as if it had been blown open, a hole the size of an iron pot in the kitchen.

Master Zhang's heart sank, and suddenly on tiptoe, the person went straight up, through the big hole, and went straight to the guest room on the second floor.

A few men led by purple shirts behind him looked up at him pacing back and forth in the guest room on the second floor, and finally stopped at the entrance of the cave before asking, "Lord Zhang, have you found anything?" ”

The leader, Lord Zhang, thought for a moment, before he raised his feet and jumped down, and hurriedly walked out: "Tell everyone, carefully check every guest room on the second and third floors, this building is eighty percent strange." There are also restaurants outside, you must keep an eye on them, don't let go of the flies all the time, and if you encounter anyone who behaves abnormally, take them all! ”

So everyone took action, most of the people who were originally investigating on the first floor went to the second floor, and some people hurriedly walked outside to order the people to watch outside.

Many ordinary passers-by on the street outside the restaurant, seeing the commotion in the restaurant, stopped to watch the excitement, and even more dared to point at this group of people, and kept talking.

It wasn't until among the people watching outside the restaurant that someone pulled out half of the sword on his waist, his face was full of meat, and his eyebrows glared at everyone angrily, which made the onlookers shrink their mouths and didn't dare to go forward to look, lest the sword directly take their own lives without eyes.

No one noticed, and someone from the back of the crowd took a few glances at the situation here, turned his head and bowed his head and left quickly.

By the time Mr. Zhang led everyone in the restaurant to finally find the problem on the wall of the No. 2 room in Tianzi No. 1, nearly an hour had passed, but during this time, except for the previous group of guests who rushed out of the restaurant like a fleeing for their lives, none of the accomplices around the restaurant found that anyone came out of the restaurant.

Mr. Zhang stood in the Tianzi No. 1 room, looking at the dark grid on the wall and Tianzi No. 2, and the dark board on the ground that was already connected to the second floor, knowing that they were pitted by these people, and I was afraid that if they wasted this time here, those people would have fled a long time ago.

As soon as he thought that he had taken so many people with him, he had fallen short, and he was suddenly angry, and as soon as he raised his hand and slapped it on the table of the Eight Immortals beside him, he smashed the entire table.

"Is there any news from the people who were arranged to go out before?" Lord Zhang asked his subordinates, thinking that he had been careful before, and sent someone to follow the guests who ran out of the inn.

Someone at the bottom shook his head, their manpower was not very many, the group of restaurant guests who fled for their lives, counting the people who ate downstairs, also exceeded thirty people, they only sent a dozen people to chase separately, here is to meet a problem of people, I am afraid that it is a moment of staring at people, it is difficult to come back to recover their lives.

Master Zhang naturally understands this truth, but this restaurant searched from top to bottom, but in addition to these two secret doors, he couldn't find any secret passages that were enough for people to escape, but people disappeared under their noses.

He thought that the foolproof countermeasure actually let the opponent slip out from under his nose, which is really a hell of a life.

The thought of his mission ending in failure made him feel extremely angry. (To be continued.) )
