Chapter 11 The Human Heart Is Sinister
"Boss, why don't you tell us where old John lives?"
Tang Luo interrupted the boss and said, "Just understand the situation, don't be nervous." β
ββ¦β¦β
The boss was clearly reluctant.
Who knows how this group of outsiders will find out about the situation, what if something happens?
"Since the boss doesn't want to, then we'll find the Grand Field." Tang Luo said, "Let's just say that there are clues, but some people don't cooperate, and there is a big suspicion that it is Jack the Ripper." β
"Don't, don't, don't!"
The boss's face changed drastically.
Don't look at the daily routine during this time, it is to eat, sleep, and scold the Grand Field.
But recently, there has been a lot of noise, and everyone knows that Gran Field is "angry".
really hit the muzzle of the gun, was taken back and beaten violently, and finally released out with no place to reason.
Then you can only die and not die.
The boss gave Old John's address, and repeatedly said that even if there was something wrong with Old John.
It has nothing to do with him, or with the hotel.
He just looked at old John pitifully, and gave him a job to help the lonely old man.
Old John wasn't a hotelier.
Yes, a temporary worker.
Do you understand temporary workers?
After Tang Luo and the others said that they understood very well, the boss finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Morning.
Tang Luo, Zhou Zhenguo and Xiao Chu went straight to Old John's residence.
Li Liang and the three of them changed to a hotel to rest.
They won't stay here until they're sure it's safe.
Tang Luo didn't care about them, they didn't plan to contribute, as long as they didn't hold back.
In Zhou Zhenguo's words, it is not troublesome for the gods and demons to walk first when they are undecided.
The trouble is the kind of gods and demons who don't have enough strength but are reckless when they encounter problems, and all kinds of chaos and finally bad things go.
When gods and demons walk, they are mainly cautious, but that kind of arrogant people are not without them.
Speaking of which, this is the last time Zhou Zhenguo will meet a newcomer.
Follow the information he gets.
After five missions, there will be no new encounters in the next missions.
Of course, it cannot be said that it is 100% impossible to encounter it again.
The game of gods and demons is not as good as the main god space, there is a big ball of light, and you can ask one or two from time to time.
Gods and demons are just the names in everyone's mouths.
All the rules are also speculated little by little by the gods and demons after practice, and there is no guarantee that they are absolutely correct.
Not to mention, some gods and demons will have reservations when they walk, or deliberately release wrong information.
Old John's lodgings are about half an hour's walk from the inn.
Belong to the slums, shantytowns of the city.
After arriving here, the three of them inquired many times before finding Old John's dilapidated low houseβor room.
Outside is a fence that is a little better than the fence wall.
The house inside is only a little bigger than the hotel room.
Don Luo when they came.
Old John was chopping firewood in the courtyard.
His job at the inn was to clean the inn once at noon, once in the afternoon, and once in the evening.
Mornings were John Sr.'s personal breaks.
Sensing that someone was outside, Old John looked up in surprise and looked at Tang Luo and them.
Soon, he stood up, walked out of the small courtyard, bowed down and asked, "How many gentlemen, are you here to find me?" β
As the "only" traveler of the hotel during this time.
Old John recognized Donlo and them.
"Hmm."
Tang Luo didn't shout and kill at the first time, and behaved like a gentleman, "We are detectives, and we have some situations that we want to know from you." β
As he spoke, he took out the file and unfolded it in front of him.
Old John was illiterate, but he still knew the Gran Field seal at the end of the document.
Suddenly panicked, I didn't even know how to put my hand inside.
"Sure enough, it's you!"
Xiao Chu said immediately.
"Huh?"
Old John's inexplicable expression was extremely real.
"There's no hurry."
Tang Luo stopped Xiao Chu, who was in trouble, and several people walked into the small courtyard.
"Mr. John, I want to know what you did at the inn last night?" Zhou Zhenguo asked.
Old John didn't behave like a member of the Jack the Ripper organization, as everyone speculated.
Or is this person's acting skills seamless?
"It's just normal cleaning." Old John had a sad look on his face.
"What about the toilet at the end of the corridor on the second floor? You went to clean up last night?! β
Zhou Zhenguo suddenly took a step forward, looked at Old John condescendingly, and asked.
Old John was startled and instinctively replied, "No, no." β
"No?" Zhou Zhen's Chinese tone eased down.
"It's broken!"
Without waiting for Old John to continue to say anything, Xiao Chu's face suddenly changed and he said loudly.
"What's wrong?"
Tang Luo remained as calm as ever.
"We, could we be mistaken?" Xiao Chu's face was serious, "Sister Bi heard Cheng Cheng say outside, 'There are people in the toilet, you don't need to clean it'." She and we all had preconceived assumptions that it was him, and to be honest, we didn't really pay attention to who was cleaning the inn, and we didn't remember what it looked like at all. β
"Cheng Cheng should be the same."
"The cleaner is the one who cleans, but the person who appeared outside the toilet last night and was ready to clean may not be the cleaner!"
After saying it in one breath, Xiao Chu gasped and looked at Old John with burning eyes.
"You really didn't clean the restroom on the second floor last night?" Zhou Zhenguo asked.
Old John shook his head: "No, I went to see it once in the evening, it was very clean, cleaned it a little, and I was not in the hotel at all." β
"And where are you?" Zhou Zhenguo asked, "Don't tell me you're at home, this won't clear your suspicion." β
"What the hell is going on?"
Old John was apprehensive, "I happened to be drinking in the tavern last night, and I sat in the middle of the night, and I came home very late, and the tavern owner can testify for me." β
"We have a companion missing, suspected to have been done by Jack the Ripper."
Tang Luo said, "It's investigating, so I hope you can cooperate a little." Otherwise, it's easy to suspect that you're an accomplice to Jack the Ripper, or even Jack the Ripper. β
Old John shook his body and almost cried.
Jack the Ripper?
This hat is definitely not something that a poor low-level person like him can afford.
Xiao Chu glanced at Tang Luo.
Ruthless or master.
At every turn, a ripper's hat snapped through.
The ability of this hat, is the master's surname Wang?
"I'm not! I'm not! Old John swore by heaven and earth.
"Isn't it, just go to the tavern." Tang Luo said.
The tavern where Old John consumed.
It's closed in the morning, but it's not like no one, the owner and the lady are cleaning.
On the one hand, it is preparing for the opening of the afternoon and evening, and on the other hand, it is cleaning up the garbage left by the overnight guests.
There were also a few drinkers who didn't leave.
The appearance of Jack the Ripper.
It makes the inn's business worse, but it makes the tavern's business better.
Some bachelors, fearful of being targeted, simply spend the night in a tavern.
There are many people, and there is no panic in my heart.
Just order a few more glasses of wine that are mixed with water and a bird of fading or a low-quality wine that is comparable to industrial alcohol.
Old John was shy and planned to leave after a few drinks.
As a result, I accidentally drank too much, fell asleep, and was not particularly awake after waking up.
The wine is so strong that people are bold, and they go home as soon as their brains are hot.
Not only the tavern owner remembered it well, but also a few drinkers.
The drinkers were regulars and residents of the neighborhood who were willing to testify for Old John.
Old John had left the tavern before it happened.
But not more than half an hour.
It took about half an hour to get from the inn to Old John's lodgings, which was a quicker walk from Donlo.
The tavern is a little farther away, and it takes a little longer to get from old John's house to the tavern.
Old John was a cripple and couldn't walk fast.
Just now, Tang Luo and the others came to the tavern with Old John, and Old John was already walking very fast.
It also took about ten minutes.
From the tavern to the inn, an hour was the basis for Old John.
He didn't have the time to commit the crime.
Unless John Sr. has special abilities.
"Sir, I just said, no matter what happens, it has nothing to do with me." Old John's voice was much lighter.
"Let's go." Several people left the tavern.
Old John hesitated twice, then asked, "Sir, who is missing?" β
The person who asked was Xiao Chu.
"It's none of your business, don't ask too much." Xiao Chu said with a cold face.
His conjecture was confirmed.
After the suspicion of Old John was cleared, the scope of suspects was expanded to include everyone in the inn.
Unfortunately, it's bad news.
"Oh, oh." Old John nodded repeatedly.
At this moment, Zhou Zhenguo, who was originally walking behind, suddenly took a step forward, reached out and grabbed Old John's neck, and pushed forward.
Old John was defenseless.
Suddenly lost his balance and was thrown to the ground by Zhou Zhenguo, and before he could react, he was hit by a knee on his back.
Old John turned his face sideways and snorted in pain.
Zhou Zhenguo pressed Old John with one hand and one foot, his face was hideous, and he shouted fiercely: "You can deceive them, do you think you can deceive me?!" β
As he spoke, the hand holding the dagger had been raised.
In the afterglow of old John's horror, it stabbed him in the eye.
This seemingly kind and talkative uncle is really a werewolf.
Xiao Chu let out an exclamation.
He didn't expect Zhou Zhenguo to suddenly attack.
It's like treating Li Liang that day.
The dagger stopped less than three centimeters from Old John's eye.
Tang Luo withdrew his hand, Zhou Zhenguo also withdrew his hand, stood up, shook his head and said, "No." β
"What not?"
Xiao Chu paused for a moment, and then suddenly realized, "Are you tempting?" β
"Yes." Zhou Zhenguo stretched out his hand and pulled the frightened old John up.
The temptation clearly paid off.
Old John was just an ordinary cripple, and he didn't hide any special abilities, otherwise he would have used it in the life and death crisis just now.
"I'm sick!"
Old John also reacted and scolded angrily.
After scolding, he was afraid of Tang Luo's retaliation, panicked, and limped away, the speed was really not fast.
"When did you negotiate it?" Xiao Chu asked.
Without Tang Luo's cooperation, it would be impossible to complete this temptation.
"Not negotiable." Tang Luo said, "Master Zhou took out the dagger and glanced at the poor monk, and the poor monk understood." β
ββ¦β¦ Scold. β
Xiao Chu laughed dryly.
Sinister "adults"!
