Chapter 328: The Hidden Silver Disappears

Shopkeeper Liu listened to Song Qi's words, his heart suddenly sudden, his eyebrows wrinkled slightly, his cunning eyes rolled a few times in the triangular eyes, and he smiled and said: "My lord, except for the wall and the bed in this room, all the guests belong to the guests." "He secretly thought, if there is stolen goods in it, lend me a hundred guts, I don't dare to say that it is my own."www.biquge.info

"Brother Song, what are you telling him to do this?" Mingyu poked Song Qi's arm and asked softly.

Song Qi turned his face sideways and whispered in Mingyu's ear: "Wait a minute, the silver is taken out of the room, in case the shopkeeper Liu is greedy when he sees the wealth and says that the silver is put in it, won't it add a lot of trouble?" So let them declare that there is no one in it, and then when he sees more silver, no matter how greedy he is, he can only stare dryly. ”

Mingyu snorted and said, "Brother Song, you are really good!" ”

Song Qi smiled, stretched out to the shopkeeper Liu, and said in a calm tone: "Now you can open the door!" ”

"Great!" Shopkeeper Liu agreed, took the key and poked it into the lock hole to open the lock, and clicked it several times, but it was not opened. It seems that this lock has indeed not been opened in a while.

Shopkeeper Liu was a little nervous, and smiled embarrassedly at Song Qi Mingyu.

"The shopkeeper is not in a hurry, take your time!" Mingyu smiled at Shopkeeper Liu.

Shopkeeper Liu continued to poke the lock hard. With a "click", the lock was finally stabbed open. Shopkeeper Liu happily pushed open the door.

The "squeak" of the door being pushed open in anticipation did not happen. Shopkeeper Liu pushed the door hard with both hands, but still didn't push the door open.

"How so?" Song Qi asked.

"I don't know, this door hasn't been opened since the guest left." Cold sweat broke out on the forehead of Shopkeeper Liu.

Song Qi stretched out his hand and put it on the door, feeling that the door was very thick. He pushed hard, and the door shook a little, but it didn't open.

Mingyu stretched out his hand and patted the door, saying, "Is this door locked inside?" ”

"I don't know." Shopkeeper Liu shook his head, "This key has always been in my hand, and no one has ever opened the door to enter." How can you reverse the lock from the inside? ”

"Maybe something is coming up from the inside against the door." Mingyu glanced at Song Qidao.

"Let me try." Mao Yong volunteered. Song Qi and Shopkeeper Liu stepped aside, Mao Yong came to the door, looked the door up and down, rolled up his sleeves, bowed forward, put one hand in the middle of a door, and suddenly exerted force, the door made a dull squeak, and was slowly pushed open a crack about two feet wide.

Suddenly, a gust of wind blew in the face.

"Why is this room so dark?" Mingyu looked at the black hole room through the crack in the door and said a little strangely.

"It should be that all the windows in the room are curtained." Shopkeeper Liu explained, took out the fire pleats from his pocket, and swiped in front of him, and a red flame appeared in his hand.

Shopkeeper Liu stepped into the threshold and stretched out the fire folds through the crack in the door to the room, although the light of the fire folds was not strong, but it was enough to illuminate the layout of the room clearly.

"Oops, how can this be 。。。" Shopkeeper Liu screamed and retreated in horror.

Mingyu looked inside, and felt creepy, "How can this be?" ”

Song Qi's gaze looked beyond Mingyu's fragrant shoulder and into the room. It's okay not to look at it, but when he looks at it, he is dumbfounded.

There was a black hole about five feet in diameter on the floor of the opposite wall of the room, and the four sides of the black hole were piled with high piles of dirt against the wall. Behind the door was a wooden cabinet that had been folded down, and behind the cabinet was a high pile of dirt. Just now, Mao Yong pushed open the cabinet behind the door, and at the same time pushed the dirt piled up behind the cabinet loose, and some of the dirt fell into the black hole, making a rattling sound.

It seems that someone dug up the silver in advance. Song Qi and Mingyu glanced at each other in surprise, turned their heads to look at Shopkeeper Liu, and said sternly: "Shopkeeper Liu, what's going on?" ”

Shopkeeper Liu was shocked and trembled: "My lord, I don't know what's going on. I don't know how there can be a hole in the room. ”

"This hole shouldn't have been dug by Shopkeeper Liu." Mingyu shook his head and said, "Shopkeeper Liu, did you say?" ”

"Yes, yes." Shopkeeper Liu said and hurriedly changed his words, "No, no, no." Miss was right. How could I dig a hole in my inn room? ”

"Could it be that Zhai Fu dug it?" Yu Man said suspiciously.

"Probably not." Hua Meng said affirmatively, "How long has Zhai Fu been let go, how can he have time to dig for silver?" ”

While everyone was talking, Mao Yong removed the cabinet behind the door and opened almost all the doors.

Everyone entered the room and looked down around the black hole in the middle.

Yu Man leaned over to look at the bottom of the black hole and said, "Maybe he came to dig two days earlier, and then came to the school field today to assassinate." ”

"If he got a million taels of silver in advance, how could he come and risk his life to assassinate, maybe he would have escaped with the silver a long time ago." Hua Meng said with a smile, kicking a piece of gravel into the black hole. After a breath or two, there was a dull sound of stones falling to the ground below. Judging by the time it takes for the stone to hit the ground, the depth of the hole is about one zhang.

"A million taels of silver?" Shopkeeper Liu listened to the curious glint in his eyes, but this light was fleeting.

"Yes." Song Qi said without concealment, "We received information that the robber Fu'an robbed one million taels of silver and hid it in room 1105 of your inn. ”

"A million pieces of silver, hidden here?" Tomiyasu's voice was a little excited, and a little disappointed.

Yu Man raised his head and stared at the shopkeeper Liu, and said solemnly: "Now that the silver is gone, your inn is also suspicious." ”

Shopkeeper Liu trembled with fright and stammered, "This... I said I didn't open this door. He raised his hand and pointed to the black hole and the surrounding dirt, and cried to Song Qi, "My lord, we are also victims. ”

"Shopkeeper Liu doesn't have to be afraid. He just said you were suspicious, not that you did it. Mingyu said gently.

"The willow shopkeeper, the clear ones are self-purifying, and the turbid ones are turbid. However, since this happened in your inn, you need to cooperate with our investigation. Song Qi said in a calm tone.

"That's nature." Shopkeeper Liu said repeatedly.

Hua Meng picked up a piece of soil from the mound, put it to his nose and smelled it, and said, "This soil is half dry and half wet, and it should have been dug up in the past five days." ”

"You're so good, you can even smell this!" Song Qi praised Hua Meng, turned his head to Shopkeeper Liu and asked, "Tell me, have there been any suspicious people in your inn recently?" ”

Shopkeeper Liu thought for a while and replied: "For our inn, all the people who come are guests, and there is nothing suspicious or suspicious. If you say suspicious, you are suspicious, because you don't know each other. But we are innkeepers, and we can't turn people away. Our approach is to take a trusting approach to all our guests and make everyone who lives at the hotel feel at home. ”

Song Qi said step by step: "Didn't you just say that some people go to the door of room 1105 every once in a while, but they don't stay in the store. Don't you think those people are acting suspiciously? (To be continued.) )
