Xiao Yan also regained a little strength at this time, and when he saw that the two of us had been staring at him, he smiled bitterly and shook his head self-deprecatingly.

"Don't look at it, I know you have a question for me, I heard something last night when you were fighting that youkai."

The implication is that it may not be easy for Xiao Yan to know my identity, but this is not the focus of my concern right now.

"Guo Gang's death, what the hell is going on?"

I endured my anger and asked in a deep voice, and the arm I was holding was trembling slightly.

I really didn't expect that Guo Gang's death would be related to Xiao Yan, and I didn't expect him to hook up with monsters.

The intimacy of everyone together in the past kept flashing in my mind, and it also made me even more puzzled why he did it.

Xiao Yan was silent for a long time, rubbing the cup with his hand, and it took a long time to squeeze out a sentence: "Guo Gang's death, I didn't expect it, no matter what, this matter has nothing to do with me." ”

I felt a little uncomfortable to see him like this, but I was still desperate to know the truth.

"What kind of hatred do you two have? You actually killed Guo Gang with the rat demon! Did you know that this is a human life! ”

When I spoke, my tone became excited, and Hu Xiaojiu on the side patted me on the shoulder and signaled me to calm down.

But how can I calm down? A living human life is gone, and when I think of this, my eyes can't stop reddening.

Xiao Yan's eyes were also a little red, and it took a long time before he spit out of his mouth word by word.

"Because I hate him, do you remember, I had a girlfriend when I was a freshman?"

Hearing Xiao Yan mention it, I also recalled this incident in my mind, "I remember, then that girl fell in love with someone else, didn't she break up with you?" ”

At that time, because Xiao Yan fell out of love, Guo Gang and I went out for a drink with him.

Xiao Yan clenched his fists and laughed coldly: "Yes, that's right, she is indeed in love with someone else, and that person is Guo Gang!" He treats me as a brother on the surface, but in fact he secretly hooks up with my girlfriend, and even makes her pregnant, but he is not responsible for him! Last month, she committed suicide because she couldn't think about it, and Guo Gang was all to blame! ”

"So you killed him?" Hu Xiaojiu smiled suddenly, and his round eyes were also full of anger.

"You're bold, anyone dares to cooperate, do you know who it is? If you don't pay attention to it, he will kill you too, which is equivalent to seeking skin with a tiger, and you obviously don't want to live! ”

Hu Xiaojiu scolded sharply, startling Xiao Yan, only to see him move his mouth a few times and hang his head in dismay.

"I didn't expect that person to kill Guo Gang, I just... Let him put some medicine in Guo Gang's wine and make him sick, who knows it will become like this, I'm sorry... I'm so sorry. ”

As he spoke, Xiao Yan buried his head in his arm and began to cry.

Knowing the truth, the heaviness in my heart is indescribable.

After the second child Xu Youqiang suspended school, the three of us were the best brothers, and we were also nicknamed the Iron Triangle by other classmates.

The iron triangle in the eyes of others is now falling apart, and one of them has killed the other, and I, as a bystander in the middle, can't do anything.

This sense of powerlessness surrounded me like a shadow, and it also made me suddenly blame myself a little bit for why I didn't be more careful and find out in advance that the relationship between the two of them had long deteriorated.

Hu Xiaojiu was still teasing the proprietress who was caught in the cage by her, looking at the white hamster, I suddenly made a decision.

"Xiao Jiu, can the boss lady still speak?"

Hu Xiaojiu glanced at me, and then reached out and patted the top of the cage, and the frightened proprietress shrank in the cage and trembled.

"Hey, what about you! Can you speak now? Don't play me dead, or I'll strip you of the rat skin later!" ”

Hu Xiaojiu said fiercely, the proprietress slowly raised her head and the rat's head, and a timid voice came out of the mouse's mouth.

"I, I can speak."

Xiao Yan, who was watching from the sidelines, opened his eyes wide in surprise, and slowly closed them, even more silent.

I organized the language, squatted in front of the cage, carefully looked at the original body of the proprietress and asked in a deep voice, "Let me ask you, when did you open this bar?" Guo Gang was the first person you killed? ”

The proprietress didn't speak at first, and after Hu Xiaojiu coughed threateningly, she replied timidly: "First, the first, really the first, we opened this bar for better cultivation..."

"Cultivating by sucking popularity?"

Hu Xiaojiu hugged his arms and sneered with a face full of ridicule, I can also understand that Hu Xiaojiu is a monster who has undergone penance cultivation after all, and spirits like them who have cultivated seriously have always looked down on these monsters who use the side door to do the right thing.

That's sort of... The dignity of a spirit?

The proprietress was dumbfounded by Hu Xiaojiu, and could only slap her tail twice with a disgraced face.

I grabbed the cage, hesitated for a moment, and spoke again: "Xiao Jiu, if the male rat escapes, maybe he will return to the bar, and he killed the person, and he will have to pay the price to end this matter." ”

As soon as I finished speaking, the female mouse in the cage became agitated and hit the cage desperately.

"What are you going to do? Don't hurt my husband, I'm willing to atone for him!" ”

These words were selectively ignored by Hu Xiaojiu and me, if she had this kind of consciousness at the beginning, I am afraid that Guo Gang would not have died.

What is the saying? The child is dead and comes to milk, what is the use of saying this kind of aftermath to make amends?

Hu Xiaojiu didn't have any opinion on my proposal, and after a short discussion, we decided to go to the bar again, and as for Xiao Yan, he sat silently in his chair the whole time, as if he had been drained of his soul.

Seeing him like this, I really didn't know what to say, so I could only sigh and leave.

Although there is no hostess, everything in the bar is still running normally, because it was already noon when Hu Xiaojiu and I left, just in time for the bar to close.

Hu Xiaojiu shook the cage, and while there was no one around, he threatened in a low voice: "Where is the key?" Don't tell me you don't have a way to get in, if you don't speak, I'll smash your rat head, which can be regarded as doing the right thing for heaven! ”

The proprietress was still afraid of Hu Xiaojiu, so she could only reluctantly tell us the password to open the door.

When we entered the bar this time, we immediately smelled a powerful demonic aura, as well as an indescribable stench that permeated the surroundings.

"What's going on with this bar?"

Hu Xiaojiu pinched his nose in disgust, and under Hu Xiaojiu's questioning, we learned that the rat couple used a special spice bag that could shield their own demonic energy.

However, the time limit is only one night, and the next day the bar will be filled with the stench of the spice packets after they have expired.

Hu Xiaojiu and I walked in, maintaining a high degree of vigilance throughout the whole process.
