Chapter 0337: The Cellar (Third Shift)
"Okay, stop crying." The man whispered: "The old man disappeared for no reason, and I was also suspicious, so I asked everywhere for news, but it was good to be kicked out by them, I was afraid that I had seen something that I shouldn't see, and if I was found by the two bodyguards of Pippen Gongzi, I would not be able to escape death." ”
"What the hell did you find out, my dear?" The cook was curious for a moment, and finally couldn't help but ask.
The man quickly lowered his voice and said, "Shhh......hh
The man quickly swallowed the remaining half of the words back into his stomach, and then patted the cook on the shoulder: "I can't say more, today I just came to see you, I have found a job in the farm on the outskirts of the city, I will save my salary in a few days, and I will take you away to fly away, this gloomy mansion is too dangerous, I must take you away." ”
The man and the cook chatted for another two minutes, and finally the cook said that she would be suspected if she had been out for too long, so the two broke up in a hurry and went their separate ways. When they were far away, Guan Heng flashed out of the shadows behind the trees.
Guan Heng stood in place, thinking in his heart: "It turns out that this man is the deputy head of the rich merchant's mansion, according to what he said, it seems that the rich merchant's disappearance for no reason seems to have something to do with the two bodyguards of Pippen Gongzi, there is still some time now, it is better to go to the cellar that the man said." ”
Because he had memorized the topographical map of the mansion before, it was very easy for Guan Heng to find the cellar, looking at the lock on the cellar door, he smiled slightly, and turned the lock into a twist with his hand.
"Dangchang!" The broken lock fell to the ground, Guan Heng gently opened the cellar door, only to see a gust of evil wind blowing in his face, mixed with the smell of blood and extreme rancidity, Guan Heng covered his nose, and hurriedly dodged to let go of this smell that could make people sick to dizziness, and he already felt a little uneasy in his heart.
The cellar is not deep, there is a soft ladder connecting to the exit, Guan Heng's right hand gathered a faint fire element, which suddenly illuminated the scene inside, Guan Heng's eyes narrowed, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help twitching, because he saw a highly decaying corpse, lying in the gloomy cellar.
"Poof!" Guan Heng didn't need to climb the soft ladder, he jumped directly into the cellar, looked at the remains a few times, and muttered to himself: "It seems that he has been dead for a long time......"
This corpse has been in a skeletal state, only a little carrion remains, it seems that this person was seriously injured, struggled to climb out of the sack, and it took a while before he breathed, but Guan Heng did not pay attention to these, inferred from the gorgeous clothes, Guan Heng thought that he was the original owner of this luxurious mansion - the rich merchant.
"It's really pitiful, maybe his family doesn't know that this gentleman has died here inexplicably." Guan Heng shook his head secretly, he searched around, hoping to find the ghost of the undead of a wealthy merchant, because people who died unjustly are generally more likely to condense their souls than people who died normally, but Guan Heng scanned the entire cellar, but did not find any trace of ghosts.
"Strange, could it be that after the death of this rich merchant, the ghost quickly dissipated?!" Guan Heng thought to himself: "But it's no wonder, after all, he has been dead for a long time." ”
Thinking of this, Guan Heng looked down and saw that the remains of the wealthy businessman were lying on the ground in a dead state, his right hand was bent into a hook, as if he was making some movements, Guan Heng leaned over to inspect it, and found that there was a bunch of keys near the hand, and there were some scratch marks on the ground on one side of the finger.
"Is it handwriting?" Guan Heng narrowed his eyes, and with the light of the fire element in his hand, he carefully looked at the message of the deceased, only to see that it was just a combination of words repeated on the ground, which was the word "fourth floor".
"It seems that all the mysteries may be solved on the fourth floor." Guan Heng glanced at the remains and said in a low voice: "Brother Rich Merchant, since you and I meet here, there is a secret guide in the dark, don't worry, I will find out the truth about your murder when I have the opportunity." ”
After taking the set of keys, Guan Heng jumped up to the exit of the cellar, closed the cellar door casually, and hung up the broken lock, so that even if someone passed by, there would be no flaws in the dark night.
Coming to the garden, near the outer wall of the house, Guan Heng grabbed the thick green vine spreading on the wall, and pulled it hard, feeling extremely strong, so he followed the green vine and used a swift and incoherent movement, "Poo I climbed to the edge of the fourth-floor rooftop in one go.
"Boom, pop!" Guan Heng, who had just turned over and landed in the corner of the rooftop, suddenly heard the sound of someone walking in the room, so he hurriedly dodged to the side of the rooftop, where there happened to be a huge potted plant blocking Guan Heng's figure.
"Squeak-" The door from the rooftop to the room on the fourth floor suddenly opened, and two people came out of the room, and they went straight to stand in front of the moonlit rooftop railing.
Through the bright moonlight in the sky, Guan Heng saw the appearance of these two people clearly: a stout and bald one, not tall, but with explosive muscles, and fierce eyes, like a fierce beast that can choose people to devour at any time.
The other man was tall and thin, with thick curly hair that reached up to his shoulders, and his most striking feature was that he had a large hooked nose that blocked part of his eyes and mouth.
Guan Heng saw the appearance of these two people, and secretly thought in his heart: "The appearance of these two people has some impressions, Jacques of the Black Feather Raven seems to have described it to me, and he also reminded me that they are Pippen's personal bodyguards." The short, bald, one's name is Soga, and as for the tall, thin one with a hooked nose, it should be Ceyan. ”
Guan Heng recalled in his heart what Jacques had said to him: "The two bodyguards of Pippen are both hot-tempered and ruthless, and it is estimated that the rich merchant is very likely to die at their hands." ”
At this time, the bald Soga said: "There is no one here, don't worry, alas, we have been staying by that gambling bastard Pippen for a long time, I am really fed up with his instructions to call and drink, if it weren't for the mission, Lao Tzu would have torn this kid apart." ”
"Stop complaining." Hook-nosed Saiyan said: "Fortunately, 'that thing' has already been obtained, as long as we take this opportunity to pass it on, the two of us will be a great achievement, and the reward above will be indispensable at that time, which is called bitter first and then sweet." ”
"Hmph, I hope so." Bald Soga asked, "Have you hidden the list?" ”
"Don't worry, you know where to hide things, it's definitely secret." Hooknose Saiyan said: "That stupid pig gambler will definitely not show up tonight, tomorrow we can find an excuse to return to Dongjun early, bring things to the connector above, and you and I will complete the task." ”
