Chapter 138: A Yuan Zha Paper Shop
The shopkeeper came out of the pile of paper, which startled Li Qing.
After a closer look, I found that there was a long bench behind the pile of papers.
Lin Zhe smiled and said, "Your Excellency's name? β
"Yo...... ...... politely" The shopkeeper grinned, stood up, and said, "Just call me A-Yuan...... Two gentlemen, has someone in the family passed away? β
"Someone from your family just passed away......" Li Qing glared at him.
Ah Yuan was stunned and said, "No one has passed away, why are you here to tie the paper shop?" Could it be that you want to buy some dark money ingots? β
"I'm looking for you to ask something." Li Qing was a little impatient, took out his certificate, and lit up.
"Huh......" Ah Yuan showed a look of surprise, and after reading the documents, he looked at Lin Zhe and Li Qing, and said with a smile: "Two gentlemen, I am a good citizen, one does not steal, the other does not rob, and I can make money by myself...... What do you want to ask in the Southeast Spiritual Zone? β
Obviously, this Ah Yuan is no stranger to the Southeast Spiritual District.
If you want to be an ordinary person, you have never heard of this organization.
Li Qing said: "What are the business hours of your store on weekdays?" β
With a puzzled look on his face, Ah Yuan said, "It's open twenty-four hours." β
"Twenty-four hours?" Lin Zhe frowned, looked at Ah Yuan, and said, "Is the business good?" β
Ah Yuan smiled and said, "It's because business is not good that it's open twenty-four hours a day...... After all, when does this dead man's thing happen? If something happens at the guest's house, they may come to buy something at any time...... If I don't open 24 hours a day, how can I be so in such a hurry that when I open the door, I will run into someone else's dead person? β
This is the reason, but when these words came out of Ah Yuan's mouth, he always felt a little awkward.
Lin Zhe swept his eyes, took a closer look at this small shop, and asked, "Are all the shops on this street open 24 hours a day?" β
"I don't know...... How can I care so much about other people's affairs? A-Yuan said lightly.
Li Qing said: "Then what were you doing last night?" β
"Me?" Ah Yuanhu looked at the two suspiciously, and said, "If there is nothing in the store, I generally, just tie a piece of paper, sleep, listen to the radio or something...... After all, my place is secluded, and there are great gods in the store, so you can't jump and sing rock 'n' roll, right? β
As he spoke, Ah Yuan twitched his eyebrows and gestured to the two of them in their own shop, and there was still Taishang Laojun.
Generally speaking, in the store, there are few people offering any Buddha and gods, and many businessmen are offering a Guan Gong, God of Wealth and the like, and it is rare to see a god such as Guanyin, Rulai or Laojun.
Once these big Buddhas and gods are offered, then the inside of the store must be quiet and clean, so as not to disturb the gods.
Lin Zhe bowed slightly, although this paper shop was a little messy, but after a closer look, he found that the things here were actually placed in a very orderly manner, even on the ground, they were clean, and it was obvious that this Ah Yuan was really particular about this aspect of things.
"Lin Zhe, what do you ......see" Li Qing couldn't ask anything, and looked at Lin Zhe on the side.
Lin Zhe smiled, walked up to Ah Yuan, and said, "Are you from the Xuanhuang faction?" β
"Yo, can you see that?" A-Yuan smiled, nodded, and said, "Not bad." β
Lin Zhe said: "How long have you been operating here?" β
Ah Yuan said: "Soon, it will be three or four years, counting the days...... Probably...... Three years and nine months ......"
Lin Zhe stared at Ah Yuan and said, "At four or five o'clock in the morning last night, you were in the store, did you find anything strange?" β
"Strange things?" Ah Yuan was stunned, a little puzzled, looked at Lin Zhe, and said with a smile: "I can't remember it for a while...... After all, at this point, I'm probably sleeping......"
"Didn't you smell anything strange, or did you see anything strange?" Lin Zhe said.
"No, this gentleman...... What exactly do you want to ask? β
Lin Zhe smiled and said, "Last night, in this place, someone performed a hidden killing technique, and we came to find the caster. β
"Hidden Killing?" A Yuan showed a look of surprise on his face, as if he was also a little surprised, and said, "Now, this technique, there are still people who can do it?" β
Lin Zhe said: "Yes. β
Ah Yuan took a deep breath and said, "I'm afraid, I can't help you...... Or...... You go to the coffin shop opposite and ask? β
As soon as he finished speaking, Ah Yuan pointed to the opposite side with his hand.
Across the street is a coffin shop.
Lin Zhe and Li Qing walked out of Ayuan's paper shop and looked at the coffin shop opposite.
Li Qing was puzzled and said, "Are you sure that the caster of this hidden killing technique is really here?" β
Lin Zhe nodded, and said in a deep voice: "I opened the altar to look for people, there shouldn't be anything wrong, the spell caster must be here, if it's not in the Ayuan paper shop, then ...... It's in this coffin shop......"
The eyes of the two looked towards the coffin shop, inside, it was dark and dark, more gloomy than Ah Yuan's paper shop.
The coffin shop is obviously much larger than the paper shop.
At the door, there was a coffin made of cedar, freshly made, but not yet painted.
This coffin wood is generally divided into three kinds, the most common visible is fir wood, the better one is nanmu, and the better one is sandalwood.
Of course, I have heard of the emperors in ancient times, and the coffins they slept in were all golden silk nanmu, whether it was true or not, it is not easy to say.
Stepping into the coffin shop, a coffin is neatly placed, and at a glance, you can't see the figure of the store.
Li Qing frowned, only feeling that he was up and down, and as soon as he entered the coffin shop, he was a little uncomfortable, and couldn't help but say: "These shops, are they all hiding?" β
Lin Zhe smiled and gestured.
Li Qing followed Lin Zhe's gaze, only to find that there was a small door on the side, and there was an inner hall in the store.
"Let's go, go in and see ......"
With that, the two of them walked towards the inner hall.
When I entered the small door, I only felt a dark breath, which seemed to be cold and cold.
There were no windows inside, but it was unusually cold.
However, although the place was cold, there was nothing unclean in it.
The coffins one by one exude a breath of death.
It's like, as if there's a corpse lying there.
In the darkness, it becomes more and more secluded and deep.
Lin Zhe and Li Qing looked at each other.
This inner hall is not big, but at a glance, there is no figure in sight.
"What about people? You won't sleep in a coffin, will you? β

Li Qing muttered, frowned, and pushed the lid of the coffin closest to him with his hand.
"Wow......"
The low sound was particularly shocking.
The two of them glanced into the coffin, but they were relieved that there was no one.
"Both, do you want to buy a coffin?"
A hoarse and cold voice suddenly sounded.
