38. [037] This is a black shop
Tang Li stood in place for a long time, and was about to turn back, but there was a low and cold voice of conversation in the corner of the wall: the other party should have deliberately lowered his voice, but the sneaky tone made it difficult for people not to pay attention......
She cautiously leaned over and peeked her head out to see—
It's the shopkeeper of the inn!
She glanced at him as she came in through the front door, and he was looking serious and serious, a serious and hard-working businessman. But now...... He was stuffing a piece of paper into the man's hand and whispered: "Go and talk to the above, there are ten men and one woman in our store, I don't look like a businessman......"
Tang Li's brows tightened, and the word "black shop" couldn't help but come out of his mind.
She thought that the shopkeeper was honest and dutiful, but she didn't expect that when she was "concentrating on settling accounts", she even looked at and speculated about who they were......
It's just that who does he mean by "above"?
"Yes!" The guy nodded, put away the note, and left.
The shopkeeper was still standing in place thoughtfully, Tang Li quietly retracted her head, she turned around and went out, and followed the guy quietly...... He went to deliver the note, he should be able to meet the so-called superiors, right?
******
Surprisingly, the guy didn't go far.
He turned the corner of the low thatched hut, pushed open a fence door and walked in. There were a lot of pigeons in it, and the flock made a "clucking" belly sound, and the guy picked one out of it, rolled the paper into a small roll, and tried to stuff it into the bamboo tube on the pigeon's ankle.
Not good!
He's going to fly a pigeon and pass the book!
Once the pigeon flies into the sky, she can't catch up!
"Wait!" Tang Li rushed out of the darkness violently, and the man was so frightened by her that his hands trembled, and the pigeon broke free from his restraints and flew out on the spot. And the note, which was also stuffed into a small bamboo tube at its feet, flew out together.
Ascension...... She can't catch up!
Tang Li cursed in annoyance, and glared at the guy hatefully, who just came back to his senses, and immediately frowned unhappily when he was glared at her, and turned to her unkindly: "Who are you?" What are you doing breaking into my place? ”
"Intrusion?" She pondered the word amusedly, bent down and picked up a pigeon's feather, put it in her hand and shook it gently, as if fanning the wind gracefully, "I walked in openly, and I didn't break ......."
The man didn't speak, his gaze staring at the feather had become hollow.
"What was written on that note?" Tang Li casually threw away the feather, and then asked with confidence, "Who are you referring to by 'above'?" Don't lie, bite off your tongue if you lie. ”
The man's sluggish body shuddered.
"I don't know who he is...... he shook his head blankly, "the shopkeeper said, just give out the information of the guests...... Someone will come and investigate at night...... All we have to do is report to the hotel......"
Will someone come to investigate at night?
Tang Li glanced at the twilight sky: it seems that tonight is another sleepless night...... She's going to tell Nangong Jue!
There is something wrong with this inn!
The man came to his senses an hour later, and he sat down on the ground in front of the loft, as if in a long dream, and his mind was in a state of confusion. As for what was asked, he had no memory of it......
*****
Tang Li hurriedly walked back, rushed to the door of Nangong Jue's room, and pushed the door directly without knocking......
