"Boss, are you going to give me this thing?" Dou Zhanlong took out the red box from the drawer, turned his head to look at the proprietress and couldn't help but look shocked, his fingers loosened, and the red box fell to the ground and scattered.

The proprietress was pale, her eyes were closed, and she lay motionless on the ground.

"What's going on?" Zhu Qian'er heard the movement, quietly opened the door, walked out of it, her face was surprised, her eyes widened, and she said, "How could the proprietress die if she is so good?" ”

Suddenly, a black shadow flashed by, Dou Zhanlong and Zhu Qian'er glanced at each other, and rushed out with an arrow step, mobilizing the ancient martial qi in their bodies to find the whereabouts of the black shadow.

When an ancient martial arts cultivator reaches a certain realm of cultivation, he can mobilize the qi of the ancient martial arts, enhance the sensitivity of the body, and probe the changes in the aura of other people, just like magnetic fields attract.

"Strange, why is it gone?" Zhu Qian'er looked nervous, opened her eyes wide, looked left and right, showed a puzzled look, and said, "Why don't I go over there and look for it?" ”

"No need!" Dou Zhanlong grabbed Zhu Qian'er's arm, his face was gloomy, and he said in a thick voice: "Let's go back quickly." ”

Inside the hotel, the body of the proprietress was lying on the ground, her hands clenched tightly, as if there was something.

Dou Zhanlong walked in slowly, picked up the red box on the ground, and opened it to reveal a small black iron box with a small lock hanging on it.

"What is this?" Zhu Qian'er opened her eyes wide and asked curiously.

"I don't know." Dou Zhanlong picked up the iron box, put it to his ear, shook it vigorously, and said, "There seems to be a sound inside, but what is the sound of something?" ”

"We have to find a way to open the lock." Zhu Qian'er's eyes were flustered, she looked around, picked up a hammer on the ground, handed it to Dou Zhanlong, and said, "Try it with this, right?" ”

Dou Zhanlong frowned, thought for a moment, shook his head, and refused: "No, the lock is too small, once you use too much force, I'm afraid you won't even be able to keep the iron box!" ”

"The proprietress is dead, is there any other way to open it?" Zhu Qian'er's eyes narrowed slightly, and she said a little anxiously.

Suddenly, Zhu Qian'er's gaze fixed on the boss lady's hand and said, "War Dragon, look at the boss lady's expression, as if she is swearing to defend something." ”

Dou Zhanlong opened his eyes wide, frowned, looked fixedly, and observed the proprietress up and down.

"Hands, there must be something hidden in her hands!" Dou Zhanlong's eyes lit up, and he said eagerly.

"Let me come!" Zhu Qian'er's eyes lit up, and she couldn't wait to reach out and grab it.

"Wait a minute!" Dou Zhanlong took out a pair of disposable gloves from the drawer, handed them to Zhu Qian'er, and said, "Bring gloves, it's safer." ”

After speaking, Zhu Qian'er took the gloves, used both hands forcefully, broke the fist of the proprietress, and found a key, and said in surprise: "It's actually a key, great!" ”

With the help of Zhu Qian'er, Dou Zhanlong successfully opened the iron box, opened his eyes wide, looked inside, and found a button-sized thing, and said puzzledly: "What is this?" ”

"What the proprietress swears to protect must be something very important." Zhu Qian'er said with affirmation in her eyes: "We must take it well, maybe it will come in handy in the future." ”

"What happened to you?" Lucree slept a little heavily because of the effect of the drug, frowned, stood outside the door, looked at the blood stains and corpses on the ground in surprise, couldn't help but widen her eyes, and said, "Who did it?" ”

"It's too late to dwell on it now." Dou Zhanlong's eyes were deep, he thought for a moment, and said, "You two, hurry up and pack your things and leave overnight." ”

"In such a hurry?" Zhu Qian'er looked up at Dou Zhanlong and said tentatively, "Are you worried about the strangeness of this matter?" ”

"Hey, my head is a little messy, and I can't explain it clearly for a while." Dou Zhanlong sighed deeply, his face was melancholy, and said, "The top priority is to leave the hotel quickly. ”

Dou Zhanlong, Zhu Qian'er and others packed their luggage and left the hotel non-stop, hiding in a remote alley.

At this time, the sound of police cars came from my ears, and the team ran into the hotel one after another, and vaguely heard a thick and hoarse voice, saying: "You all searched me carefully, someone reported that a man and two women were suspected of murdering the hotel proprietor!" ”

"War Dragon, do they mean us when they say one man and two women?" Zhu Qian'er lowered her voice and said cautiously.

Dou Zhanlong nodded affirmatively, his eyes became deeper, and said, "Obviously, someone is deliberately framing us. ”

"However, we have only just arrived in Lixia, how can anyone know that we are staying in this hotel?" Zhu Qian'er said with a puzzled face: "Besides, if it's for us, why did the boss give you this thing?" ”

Dou Zhanlong frowned, confused, thought hard, and said: "We have just arrived, and we haven't made any enemies in the calendar, who would target us so despicably?" ”

Lucre's lips were pale, slightly chapped, and she endured the pain of the wound and said with a painful expression, "The only possibility is someone from the Mingwei Energy Storage Center." ”

"Without evidence, there is no foothold." Dou Zhanlong said with a solemn face: "The boss lady was killed and became a victim, is it also inseparable from Mingwei's people?" ”

If it is explained that the people of the Wei Energy Reserve Center just wanted to catch Dou Zhanlong and his gang and kill the boss lady in vain, Dou Zhanlong can easily understand.

However, what Dou Zhanlong didn't understand was the look in the way the proprietress looked at him before she died, as well as the things in the red box.

There are all kinds of signs that the proprietress is not a simple character, and there must be something to do with Mingwei.

Suddenly, Zhu Qian'er's eyes widened, her eyes rolled, and she said tentatively: "Could their target not be us, but the boss lady?" ”

"What do you mean?" Dou Zhanlong looked at Zhu Qian'er puzzled, and said with a puzzled look in his eyes: "Do you think their target is the boss lady and the red box, right?" ”

"That's right!" Zhu Qian'er said with affirmation in her eyes: "Because our sudden appearance ruined the killer's actions, we had to leave." ”

"The other party was worried that the matter would be revealed, so he pushed it to us." Dou Zhanlong's eyes were deep, and he said thoughtfully: "The boss's calm eyes and hands clenched into fists before she died, obviously knew the other party's intentions. ”

Zhu Qian'er turned her head slightly, met Dou Zhanlong's sharp gaze, and said, "From the perspective of the whole thing, this is a premeditated and purposeful task. However, our sudden appearance broke the other party's plan, and we were also saddled with a black cauldron. ”

"These people from the police department are obviously not here to arrest us." Dou Zhanlong's face was gloomy, and he said in a somewhat strange voice: "According to my judgment, these people are in cahoots with the murderer, and their purpose is to complete the unfinished task and find the iron box." ”

"I agree with you." Zhu Qian'er pursed her lips, nodded affirmatively, and said, "They know that the murderer will run away, how can they still search the hotel calmly instead of arresting criminals?" ”

"But what's in the tin box?" Dou Zhanlong fumbled for the things in his pocket, and his eyes became confused.

"Could it be a coin cell battery?" Zhu Qian'er guessed with a smile: "Or maybe it's something like a strange USB drive?" ”

"Probably not!" Dou Zhanlong's face was stern, and a pair of eyes looked at the hotel opposite thoughtfully, and whispered: "Maybe it's something related to the Mingwei Energy Reserve Center, right?" ”

"What should we do now?" Lucrete's face became paler and paler, her eyes were blank, and she said weakly.

"What's wrong with you? Is it unwell? Zhu Qian'er hurriedly walked over, helped Lu Kelei, and said to Dou Zhanlong, "Are we going to find a new place to stay?" ”

As soon as the proprietress died, the matter of Dou Zhanlong and the three becoming murderers would soon spread throughout Lixia District, and there would be no hotel for them to stay in at all.

Dou Zhanlong thought about it, and a person appeared in his mind, that is, a middle-aged female doctor.

"Come with me." Dou Zhanlong bent down slightly, carried all the luggage alone, and walked into the depths of the alley with some trepidation in his heart.

It was the middle of the night, and the Lixia District was very quiet, only the street lights were flashing on the road, reflecting the shadows of people, hanging on the ground, and a few dogs barking from time to time.

"What is this place?" Zhu Qian'er frowned, stood in front of a private house, and said incredulously: "Is anyone still willing to take us in now?" ”

"This is the doctor's home." Dou Zhanlong took a deep breath, his face hesitated, he knocked on the door hard, and said in a low voice: "Now that we have to try." ”

"Who?" After a while, the courtyard lit up with a dim light, and a nice but slightly trembling voice rang out.

"Ahem!" Dou Zhanlong cleared his throat and said with some embarrassment: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry!" I'm the one who was at the hotel during the day today. ”

Dou Zhanlong thought of the embarrassed expression when he asked the female doctor to save people during the day, and he couldn't help but shudder in his heart, pursed his lips, and waited outside the door.

"Will she open the door for us?" Zhu Qian'er's voice was very low, her face was hesitant, and she muttered to herself: "In this situation, who else wants to meddle? ”

Dou Zhanlong turned around, opened his eyes wide, glared at Zhu Qian'er fiercely, and said, "Are you going to go back to Jianglong like this?" ”

"No, if I didn't see Zhou Taofei, I would never return to Jianglong." Lucrete's voice became weaker, her eyes narrowed weakly, and she rushed into the courtyard, and said lamentingly, "Good doctor, please open the door, okay?" We're not bad guys, we really have no way out, so we made this decision. ”

As soon as the words fell, the courtyard door opened, and the middle-aged doctor, wearing a white and floral pajamas, stood inside the door, looked at the three of them, and said, "It's so late, you don't live in the hotel, how did you find here?" ”

"Something happened." Dou Zhanlong said with some embarrassment: "So I want to beg you, take us in for one night, okay?" ”

The middle-aged doctor's face was grim, he pondered for a moment, opened all the doors, and said with determination: "You guys come in first." The nights were really cool. ”

After Dou Zhanlong nodded in thanks, he walked in tremblingly.

"Thank you!" Lucre's face turned pale, and she barely smiled, and said weakly, "You saved our lives again. ”
