A carriage carrying people, six wagons, and more than 20 attendants, large and small, entered the city from the east gate of the jade mantle.

It was the middle of the day, but the city was unusually quiet. There are no pedestrians or businesses on either side of the street, and the doors of houses are closed.

The buildings in the city, the beams and eaves, and the gate columns are not new, but they are by no means decaying, but they have a kind of quaint texture.

But with this overly quiet atmosphere now, it really makes people feel weird.

It was as if behind the flickering doors and windows were snooping on them.

Something awaits them.

Jiang Linglong retracted her head from the window, put down the curtain and continued to lean on Kuang Yu's shoulder. On his lap sat Si Huang.

Si Huang's head was dozing off little by little.

She also felt a little tired.

"Can you improvise?" She only felt that her sleepiness was overwhelming, and she relied on perseverance to support her eyelids, "I want to go to the investment store first." It's too sleepy. ”

The convoy stayed at an inn owned by Xunyun Villa. There were a few upper rooms, and three bunks for the attendants to rest.

After resting here for the night, these attendants will return to Linxian directly with most of the limousine.

Only a carriage with daily luggage was left to follow them.

Jiang Linglong couldn't stand it as soon as she entered the room, and fell asleep immediately on the bed.

By the time she woke up, it was already dark.

She just felt hungry.

With an oil lamp lit on the table, Kwong Yu was sleeping at her desk, and woke up to see her after hearing the movement.

"Woke up? Still tired? He was reading in the room and waiting for her to wake up, but he didn't want to watch it, so he fell asleep himself.

"I asked Xiao Er to bring something to eat, do you have anything you particularly want to eat?"

Jiang Linglong shook her head.

Even if she doesn't particularly want to eat, every time Kwong Yu orders a dish that matches her appetite.

"You wait for me."

As he spoke, he got up and walked to the door, and saw a dark shadow rushing outside, the door was hurriedly pushed open from the outside, and Su Jinyu rushed in with a panicked face.

Kwong Yu frowned.

Only then did Su Jinyu close the door and said in a low voice, "Master, our carriages and horses are gone!" ”

"The salute is gone, I just went down to see it, and there is no brother in the shop below!"

His tone is eager.

It has been a long time since he dared to intercept the men and horses of the Yun Merchant in the land of Lin.

"Don't rush your luggage first." Kuang Yu said, he glanced at the door bolt, Su Jinyu pushed it in just now, but he remembered that he put the bolt down after entering the house.

Frowning, it's because of this.

Someone opened the door while he was asleep.

He could only think that he had been drugged before he knew it.

But if these people enter the land of no one, will they only enter his room?

"You go and see Orange Moon." His voice tightened.

Su Jin was stunned. Rushed out in a panic.

The room was empty.

Orange Moon and Si Huang are gone.

Su Jinwu didn't say a word, and together with Xue An, tied up everyone up and down the innkeeper Xiao Er.

With so many people disappearing into thin air, it's impossible not to hear movement in the store.

He was eager to torture them to extract confessions, and asked where Orange Moon was.

Or Kuang Yu stopped it loudly.

The squire can be taken away to capture the strong man.

Taking away Orange Moon may have been a lustful heart.

But why take away Si Huang, such a muffled six-year-old child.

What's more, this child feels strange at first glance.

When ordinary people see it, they should be stunned.

Kuang Yu thought that Si Huang had fallen asleep in the carriage little by little.

Hopefully, they won't be frightened when they come back and see the child awake.

"Master, what are we going to do now?" Su Jinyu was anxious.

Now there were only four of them left.

"You first ask the shopkeeper what they were just now. and the situation in Jade Castle. Why are families closed at lunchtime? If you can't say it clearly, and you can't answer it, you will be punished again. After Kuang Yu finished speaking, he said to Xue An, "You are not familiar with Linguo, I will go out to take a look, you are here to protect the county lord, you must act together." ”

Xue An knew that the situation was serious, and he was stunned.

Jiang Linglong was so shocked that she came to her senses.

She told Kuang Yu to be careful on the road, so she didn't leave much to let him go.

As soon as Kuang Yu left, Jiang Linglong went to Orange Moon's room.

While checking the clues that might be left, she heard the voice of Su Jinyu's interrogation in the lobby downstairs.

Su Jinyu has always been a passionate and straightforward big boy in her eyes. But at this moment, the movement underneath, the sound of him talking, and the sound of tables and chairs colliding, she didn't even need to look at it, and she automatically equated Su Jinwu with the ghost-faced Rakshasa in the script.

Orange Moon and Si Huang were both taken away asleep.

She also noticed Kwong Yu's gaze, and looked at the deadbolt of her room before going out.

Kuang Yu usually has the habit of locking the door outside, but just now Su Jinyu opened it as soon as he pushed it.

She looked carefully, and the door bolt was intact, with no signs of being tied up, rubbed, and the bottom surface was picked by sharp weapons.

So when and how was this deadbolt lifted?

The Orange Moon room is spotless.

A chair was pulled out on the side of the table, but the teapot and cups on the table were still neatly arranged.

The quilt on the bed is only a little messy at the front.

It should be Si Huang who sleeps in the bed, and Orange Moon is just lying on the desk.

The ground is in a hurry, there are no footprints. The possibility of cleaning is not ruled out.

Jiang Linglong suddenly had a very bad feeling.

Xue An had been by her side, and the two of them looked around together, opening all the drawers and wardrobes that could be opened.

Nothing.

She stood in the middle of the room, revisiting the room.

This is a very elaborate upper room.

Although the tea set is not made of precious porcelain, a stepping table is carefully placed next to the bed. In this way, you don't have to step on the cold and get stepped on the dusty floor by your shoes in the morning.

Really thoughtful.

Such a thoughtful inn, but today only a few of our guests stayed.

That's why the commotion was so loud that no one pushed the door out.

"You ask Jinyu to ask, who else is staying in the hotel today, who has come to eat in the hall." Jiang Linglong commanded Xue An.

Xue An should do it.

Jiang Linglong picked up the oil lamp lit on the table.

She felt as if she had discovered the source of the bad feeling that had been haunting her heart.

When Xue An came back, he saw the county lord of Shaohua sitting on the stepping platform next to the bed with a pale face.

Apparently frightened.

"Here you go." When she saw him coming back, she came out with some blood and beckoned to Xue An.

Xue An walked over quickly, the light of the oil lamp hit under the bed, and a thin layer of ash accumulated in the sanitary dead corner that was not sprinkled. Only part of it looked like it had been wiped - in a position of a man lying on his stomach, elbows on the ground, legs behind his head with a grin on his back, one straight and one bent on his knees, as if ready to crawl out at any moment.

"There are no traces of the deadbolt. Of course, there is no trace. After she finished speaking, she only felt afraid, "Because people have been in the room all the time, waiting for us under the bed!" ”
