Chapter Ninety-Seven: The Shopkeeper Dies
The early morning sun has sprinkled the entire room. Han Xiluo and Lan Ling'er opened their eyes in unison.
"It's so comfortable to sleep in." Han Xiluo sat up. I moved my muscles and bones left and right. And Lan Ling'er also sat up quickly. She's not as big as Han Xiluo. As early as the moment of awakening. Then she heard the chatter outside the door. Came to the door without a trace. Lan Ling'er didn't open the door directly. Instead, he rubbed a hole in the door. Look out from the inside. Sure enough, there were quite a few people around the door. And these people pointed to the ground in front of the door. It was as if there was something on the ground.
Lan Ling'er looked in the direction to the ground. Really. There were several corpses lying on the ground. Among them is yesterday's obscene little two and the shopkeeper. There are a few others who are also dressed up by guys. Probably the other guys at this inn.
"What's wrong?" Han Xiluo also sensed that something was wrong.
Lan Ling'er turned around and made a shushing gesture at her. Then he walked quickly in front of her. Tell her what he saw outside the door. After Han Xiluo listened. Squinting his eyes, he said viciously, "You deserve it."
"Let's go. The people outside the door saw so many people die in front of our door. That's why I didn't dare to rush in. But it must have been reported to the authorities. To avoid trouble. Let's go first." Lan Ling'er said as she spoke. While quickly dressing up. Then start packing your baggage.
Han Xiluo also didn't want to get into a lawsuit. So she followed Lan Ling'er and began to pack up. Before leaving. Lan Ling'er didn't forget to lift the enchantment. Otherwise, it is estimated that this room will be in addition to them in the future. No one can get in anymore.
Really. Not long after they were gone. The county official who received the report from the masses had already arrived at the inn.
"Come on. Knock the door open for me." The headcatcher shouted. Immediately, several small officials around him stepped forward. Slammed the door open. Of course. At this time, the house was already empty.
"The people who live in this house." The headcatcher stared at the people around him with wide eyes.
"We. . We've been here all the time. Not. I didn't see anyone in there." A bold young man stepped forward a little and said.
"But there's no one in this room right now." The head catcher looked at the young man with an unhappy expression.
"Say. Maybe it's a window jump. Ran away."
"Ran away." The head catcher suddenly raised his eyebrows and said angrily: "There are so many of you. Why don't you go in and catch the prisoner first?"
"This. So many people are. All were killed. We. Don't you dare." The young man said resignedly.
"Rice bucket. Then you know who lived in it."
"No. I don't know. I should have been late last night. None of them. See. I've seen it." Everyone nodded in agreement.
"Waste. Someone. Carry these corpses back to the yamen for me first. Let me come and do an autopsy. Then bring all these people back to the yamen for the official master. Since they all live in this inn. Then everybody is suspicious."
"My lord. My lord. Wronged. It's not something we do." When the people heard that they were going to be taken to the yamen. I couldn't help but beg for mercy.
"You didn't do it. To be found out by this official. I will restore your innocence." Say it. He ignored the cries of the multitude. Be the first to walk out of the inn.
And Han Xiluo and Lan Ling'er, who have left the small county town some distance away. While walking. While still cursing the dead men.
"They deserve their lives. Dog stuff that doesn't have long eyes. Even the two of us dare to mess with us." This time, it was replaced by Lan Ling'er.
Han Xiluo, whose ears were almost hearing the cocoon, glanced helplessly at Lan Ling'er, who was still unsatisfied. Finally, he interrupted: "Everyone is dead. You're still scolding people like that. Beware of the ghosts coming to you."
"Even if they're still ghosts. Cut. Even if they do become. They can't help Aunt Ben." Lan Ling'er said disdainfully.
"Okay. Your previous composure was all pretended.' Han Xiluo suddenly felt that Lan Ling'er's acting skills were not too good.
"What a pretend? Isn't that one called Eight-Sided Exquisite?" Lan Ling'er glanced at her with disdain.
"It's also exquisite. I think you're having multiple personality disorder. I don't know how Saint Lingxiao can stand it."
"People love me with this eight-sided heart. What the hell?"
"Nothing. I just think that Saint Ling Xiao is very resistant to tossing."
“……”
"I don't think we have a common language anymore."
"That's the best. I can be quiet."
"Han Xiluo."
"Shhhhhh Tap. Beware of inviting bad guys."
“……”
Over there. When Nangong Liye and they chased along the road to the small county town. It's already dark.
It's a small county town that is not big. After such a big incident. It seems even more silent and deserted.
"Not true. Something should have happened in this place." Keen intuition tells Saint Lingxiao. There is something unusual about this place.
Nangong Liye and Situ Mujin also sensed that something was wrong. The three of them led the horses and walked vigilantly towards the small county town. The streets were deserted at this time. Closed windows and doors in every house. Silently. Even the lights have long since gone out.
The three of them walked to the door of an inn. only to find that the door of the inn was sealed with a seal.
"Strange. Walked for so long. This should be the only inn here. But how can it be affixed with the seal of the government?" Saint Ling Xiao was puzzled.
"Cold-blooded."
"Master."
"Go to the county office and find out what's going on here."
"Yes." Since the soul chaser disappeared with Han Xiluo. The cold-blooded person who was originally guarding the snow lotus in the Tianshan Mountains was thrown back. Instead of chasing souls.
The three of them stood quietly outside the inn. Soon. Cold-blooded appeared in front of the three of them.
"This morning the innkeeper and his fellow died inexplicably outside the door of a side room. The guests in the wing room mysteriously disappear. We haven't found out who the killer is."
"Dead outside the wing. Hum. Looks like this inn is also a black shop." Saint Ling Xiao scoffed.
"Do you know where the body was placed?"
"Inside the morgue of the Yamen. There is only one person to guard it."
"Let's go." Say it. The three of them followed cold-blooded and soon found the morgue of the yamen. A cold-blooded palm stunned the guard's officer. The other three quickly dodged and walked in.
"Because this small county town is very small. So there are very few fatal cases. The 6 bodies here are all dead at the inn. According to the subordinates. It's the innkeeper and the guy." Said cold-blooded and calm.
Nangong Liye was silent. Slowly walked over to the corpse. Lift the cover on the corpse in a hundred steps. An unpleasant stench instantly penetrated his nose. His brow furrowed slightly.
Saint Lingxiao and Situ Mujin also lifted a piece of white cloth each. View the body of the deceased. Half ring. Situ Mujin said slowly: "The corpse has no obvious external injuries. There were no signs of poisoning. What is the cause of death?"
Nangong Liye and Saint Lingxiao's brows also became tighter and tighter. Because of so long. They couldn't even tell the cause of death.
"Maybe he died of some special internal strength or was tricked by someone."
"It wouldn't have been left without a trace."
"It really doesn't make sense."
"Did the people who lived in that room find out?" Nangong Liye re-covered the white cloth. While walking out. While asking.
"It is said that the person who stayed in that room last night came too late. So no one saw it. But there was a gambler when he came home last night. Seen very late in time. Two girls entered the small county town. Because it was too dark at the time. I didn't see what they looked like."
"Those must be the two girls the old woman said." Situ Mujin continued.
"It doesn't matter if it's Luo'er or not. Those two people managed to pique my interest." Saint Lingxiao smiled evilly." And I'm sure . Even if none of them were Lo'er. But they must know Lor's whereabouts."
Situ Mujin nodded in agreement. That's right. That's what he thinks too.
"But now we've lost the clue to continue tracking them." Saint Lingxiao's originally high mood instantly fell.
The three of them fell silent again.
Back in front of the inn. The three of them flew in through the back window. After some investigation. Nothing was found.
"Stay here for one night tonight. We'll talk about what to do next tomorrow." The three of them hadn't closed their eyes for days and nights. By this time they were exhausted. You have to get some rest.
Hearing this, Saint Ling Xiao nodded in agreement. And Nangong Liye just paused. Then he walked into the sealed room. Tonight. He wants to live here. I don't know why. He always felt in this room. It has a familiar taste.
So the three of them each found a room. The guards prepared something to eat. The three of them ate indiscriminately. So he lay down with his clothes. Soon he fell asleep.
this night. Nangong Liye had a dream. He dreamed of her. Although I have met in dreams countless times before. But this time he felt it was very real. It was as if Luo'er was right in front of him. It's not just Loer. This time by her side. There was even a small figure. Loel took his hand. Standing in front of Nangong Liye. Luo'er's face was so clear. But he couldn't see the face of the little figure beside Luo'er clearly. His instincts tell him. This child has an inseparable bond with him. He wanted to get closer. only to find that my feet could not move. He wanted to reach out and touch them. Go and find that your arm has also lost strength. Stand there. He was so helpless. Want to shout out loud. But I found that I couldn't even speak.
"Luo'er." Finally a soft call. But I found that I had woken up from my dream.
"Master." Cold-blooded voices immediately flashed in front of him.
"It's fine." Nangong Liye said lightly. Then with a wave of his hand. Signal to go cold-blooded.
Cold-blooded raised his eyes and glanced at his master again. Then a dodge vanished into the room.
Nangong Liye slowly leaned on the side of the bed. He was trying to remember the dream he had just had. He felt it wasn't just a dream. Instead, it's more like some kind of hint. Or some kind of prophecy. Luoer. Child. Could it be that in the years that Loel has been missing. Not only did they not die in Huangquan. Instead, he bore him a son. Or maybe it's after Lor's disappearance. and married someone else. And this is her and someone else's child. No. No way. The child in the dream must have something to do with him. So it can never be the second case.
Haunted by this dream. So Nangong Liye has been waking up since she woke up. I never fell asleep again.
Knock knock.
Nangong Liye was pulled back to reality by a knock on the door.
"Come in." His voice was slightly tired.
The door was gently pushed open. Saint Lingxiao and Situ Mujin walked in.
"How do you feel you're still exhausted. Didn't you sleep last night?" Saint Ling Xiao looked at his best friend with some concern.
"I was just awakened by a dream." Nangong Liye said lightly.
Looked at. Saint Ling Xiao didn't say anything more. So many years. He has already said what he needs to say.
"Ye. Let's go back to Beijing and wait for news." Situ Mujin was born and said.
Nangong Liye turned his head. He looked at him with some confusion.
"The light snow is gone. It left a word in my consciousness last night and left. It says it went looking for the whereabouts of Chaiyin. And it's familiar with the smell of lore. It will be more convenient to find. Let's wait for news of it."
"Divine beasts deserve to be divine beasts. It's reliable to get things done." Saint Lingxiao couldn't help but sigh. If only he had such a divine beast. Maybe he'd already found her.
Nangong Liye was silent. The clue is broken when it gets here. They can't go any further. Now I can only watch Xiaoxue.
"Xiao. You go back to the palace first. Brocade. You should also go back to Situ Villa first."
"What about you?"
"I'm going to the North of the Underworld."
"The Northern Underworld."
"Hmm. Follow the route they are taking. I guess it's going north. I want to keep looking for it along the way."
"Then we ......" but Situ's words were not finished. was interrupted by Nangong Liye.
"So decide. Go back first. Any news. I'll send someone to inform you." After speaking. Without waiting for the opposition of the two. Nangong Liye walked out of the chamber.
He wouldn't pass up any chance to find her. Even if there is little hope.
