The horse lamp was hung at the door of the kitchen, the light was not very bright, and the shadow of the head on the table in the middle was obvious, and the facial features were three-dimensional, which became more and more hideous.

"What the hell is going on? How good people were killed? ”

The proprietress hugged Qianer's waist and didn't let go, Qianer raised his head and asked Lian Sheng and Xu Yan upstairs for help, the two pretended not to see, and followed the scholar downstairs, Lian Sheng shouted to Xiao Er who was curled up: "Hurry up and light a few more lights." ”

The fellow came to his senses, hurried to the kitchen, went to the door, and stopped, turning back and crying pitifully, "I-I'm afraid." ”

Xu Yan looked up at the sky helplessly: "Everyone is here, can there still be ghosts who have taken you away?" Having said that, he still took a few steps forward, and Xiao Er ran into the kitchen and took out a few oil lamps, and a horse lamp was lit in turn.

At this time, Qianer had already struggled to open the boss's arm, and the proprietress sobbed and said: "I'm going to mouth (thatched toilet), and when I came out, I saw something on the table, and when I got closer, it turned out to be a human head, and I was scared to death." ”

Qian'er nodded and asked, "Which room does this person live in?" ”

The proprietress was already a little calmer, and glared at the little guy: "You erhu, don't take this Qian Ye to see this dead ghost's house!" ”

The young man hurriedly agreed, Liansheng saw that he was trembling with fright, and couldn't help but say softly: "Don't be afraid, everyone is here, nothing to be afraid of, you lead the way in front." ”

Xiao Er carried the lantern and led everyone up to the second floor, and the woman, the old man and the man who looked like a butcher stood at their respective doors. The woman said sadly, "That old man is fierce, but in fact he is a good man. It's scared to death, but fortunately my baby sleeps well. ”

"Alas, could it be that there are thieves here in the middle of the night?" The old man shook his head. The butcher-looking one rolled up his sleeves and looked heroic: "Damn the doll balls to the sky!" The damn doll is pulled alive day after day, afraid of an egg. ”

Xiao Er led everyone to a room around the corner, pointed to the door and said in a trembling voice: "Just ...... Be...... Over here. ”

Qianer stretched out his hand to push the door, but the door was inserted inside, and he couldn't push it open at all. What's going on? The heads have been cut off, why is there still a door bolt in the room?

Qianer looked at Liansheng, and Liansheng said with a solemn face: "Kick! ”

Qian'er secretly lucked himself and kicked the door open. The proprietress in the back was excited and her eyes were shining. The eyes were full of adoration.

The door was kicked open, and the thick smell of blood came, and Qian Eryi grabbed the lantern he was carrying in the small second-hand and shone it over, only to see a headless corpse lying in the middle of the room. There was a lot of blood on the ground. Because the horse lantern is not bright enough. Large patches of blood are visually blackened.

Everyone knew that this person was dead when they saw the headless corpse, but the impact was still great when they saw the headless corpse, and Xiao Er suddenly exclaimed, "Oh my God." How did his head get downstairs! ”

The scholar also came back to his senses at this moment, and went to see the deadbolt with a sigh. Qianji's strength was very strong, and he kicked down a door with a deadbolt, but he could still see that the bolt was indeed plugged in just now.

"Murder in the Secret Room!" Liansheng walked around the room, this room and the room he lived in were the same layout, a two-foot square suitcase, a table and two chairs, a large copper basin on the table and residual water, Liansheng bent down to look under the bed, it was empty and there was no one. This is strange, everyone was outside just now, and there was no chance for the murderer to kill someone and hide behind the door, and when everyone pushed the door in, he mixed in with the crowd, so how did the murderer escape?

Liansheng went to push the window again, and the proprietress said: "I have sealed the windows in winter, so as to save the mountain wind from pouring them in." ”

Indeed, these windows were sealed with oiled paper, similar to the pasted window cracks of northern people, and there were no gaps or scars on the seals, and the murderer did not escape from the windows. After Liansheng checked the window, the proprietress looked up and asked Qianer: "How is this good, the bridge under the mountain is broken, and there is no way to report to the official." Uncle Qian, Nong looked at the old tuk tu (steady) and gave the little woman an idea. ”

Without waiting for Qian'er to speak, the scholar said: "I have no way, I can only wait for dawn, and see if the river can go down when it dawns. ”

"Uncle unlucky, sick seedling, you have one less knack (missing a string), isn't this murderer among a few of us!" The butcher-like man woke up the dreamer with a word. Xiao Er's teeth trembled: "Big ...... Uncle, you can't talk nonsense. ”

"How can Lao Tzu talk nonsense, the door is not locked?"

"It's locked, it's locked inside."

"That's it, the downstairs door is locked, the back door is locked, isn't it the people in this room who can do it?" The butcher suddenly understood something, pointed at the proprietress and shouted, "It must be you!" In the afternoon, you're carrying a horse spoon and you're going to beat someone! There is no more poisonous thing than a woman's heart! ”

"Xiong Da, fuck you! Believe it or not, old lady tear up your stinky mouth. The old lady killed him? The proprietress was furious when she heard this, and as soon as she finished scolding, she saw Qian'er frowning, so she hurriedly eased her tone: "Besides, it's really me who kills, how can I lock the door?" ”

"Hmph, your inn, of course, only you know where there is a secret passage."

"You old pole, this is the second floor! On the second floor, keep your dog's eyes open, there is a secret passage on the second floor, where are you going? Drop the table in the lobby ......"

Before she finished speaking, the proprietress thought of the head on the table, and hurriedly covered her mouth in fright: "Bad luck, bah, bah." ”

"That's it!"

Liansheng, who had been squatting on the ground to look at the corpse, stood up and looked around at everyone: "Don't make any noise, let's go downstairs and talk." ”

"Go down to the fourth floor, do you want Lao Tzu to live in the middle of the night?" The butcher muttered discontentedly.

"You can not live, see if the one on the ground is not going to sleep all the time." The scholar is yin and yang on the side.

"Don't be verbose, go downstairs." Qianer's eyes widened, and everyone saw that he was tall and big, and there was still a bad aura on his body, so they didn't dare to say more and hurriedly went downstairs. The young woman hesitated: "I'll go and see my boy first, lest he be frightened." ”

Qianji and Liansheng walked behind. Liansheng whispered to Qianji, "The incision is very smooth, like a sharp sword. ”

"Hmm." Qian'er nodded: "It's a practitioner who made it, and it won't be so easy for ordinary people to cut off their heads." So how do we do it? Search for the murder weapon first? ”

"Everyone is suspicious, so they can only search first."

"But the door was locked from the inside, so how did the man get out? Killing someone, locking the door from the inside, and then putting the head on the table in the lobby, what is the murderer trying to do? Xu Yan was also puzzled on the side.

While speaking, everyone came downstairs, and Qian Ermu said with a face: "Let's talk, what were you doing just now?" ”

"That's it, sleep." The scholar dragged a long tone: "What can you do if you don't sleep at night?" ”

The old man pinched a few goatees: "I was also sleeping, and I went out when I heard the voice of the proprietress in the house." ”

"In the same way, I only came out when I heard the voice." Xiong Da also said.

"Let's introduce ourselves first. We're all trapped in this inn, and we can't talk to feed us. ”

Lian Sheng finished mentioning yì and then said: "This is my brother, Second Master Qian, my name is Qian Xiaolian, everyone can call me Miss Lian, my sister Miss Xu." ”

"Lin Sanniang, you all know." The proprietress followed.

"My name is Xiong Da Niu."

"Student Li Wen." The sick scholar said.

"The old man's surname is Hu."

"I'm curious how you all came here in the middle of winter. The scenery on this mountain is good, but this winter, there is nothing to see. ”

Rensheng asked.

At this time, the young woman came down from upstairs, and Xu Yan asked, "Sister, what do you call it?" ”

"My husband's surname is Yuan, so it's better to call me Yuan Niangzi."

"Miss Lian asked this, just to suspect that all of us living here have impure purposes?"

The scholar keenly grasped the point of Liansheng's question.

"Not bad." Lian Sheng raised his eyebrows, unabashedly.

"Then girl, why are you here?"

"Meet my brother." Hearing Liansheng's words, Xu Yan and Qian'er couldn't help but glance at each other: This ability to lie is too strong!

"Why did Brother Ling come here?" Scholars are aggressive.

Lian Sheng covered his mouth and smiled: "Well, my brother doesn't tell me to talk to people." ”

"Hmph, the girl is not sincere at all. I think everyone should be honest, and the one who can't say the reason is suspicious. ”

"Brother, then I'll tell you." Liansheng smiled and looked at the proprietress : "It was my brother who happened to see the proprietress coming down the mountain, and he couldn't forget it at a glance, so he ......"

"Oh, shame on you." The proprietress covered her face excitedly.

Qian'er looked at Liansheng, his eyes widened: Miss Liansheng, are you such a trick? (To be continued......)
