The old cellar head walked and stopped in front, as if he was afraid of being followed, and sometimes glanced back. Jiang Qinling cautiously followed him, fearing that he would find out, he fell farther, and when he followed a thatch thicket taller than a person, the person was gone.

“？” Jiang Qinling put a question mark in his heart, and he didn't see the old cellar head getting into the thatch, why did the person disappear. Quickly stepped forward to the place where the old cellar disappeared, looked left and right, and found nothing wrong. Suddenly feeling that something was wrong behind him, he instinctively flashed to the side, letting an arm-thick wooden stick swing down from his face.

Lao Jiaotou's stick didn't hit Jiang Qinling, he looked angry, and waved the stick a second time. This time, Jiang Qinling was on guard, and while dodging the attack, he instantly kicked the old cellar head in the stomach, directly kicking him to the ground, and he struggled for a long time and didn't get up.

At this time, the old cellar head was curled up on the ground, and the messy hair on his head was scattered a little, Jiang Qinling could barely see half of his face, scarred, and there was no intact place. "Who are you? Why smash someone else's car window? The old cellar head only cared about wailing, ignoring Jiang Qinling at all, Jiang Qinling approached him, he retreated with his hands on the ground, Jiang Qinling had to try to appease him: "Don't be afraid, I won't hurt you!" ”

"Ahh The old cellar suddenly let out a strange scream, grabbed a handful of dirt and threw it at Jiang Qinling. Jiang Qinling blocked it with his hand, not staining his face with mud, but when he looked at it again, the figure of the old cellar head was gone, and only a trace of gliding on the ground remained.

Jiang Qinling walked into the trace, looked ahead, and just passed through the gap in the middle of the big stone in front of him, comparing it with his hands, it was not enough for one person to pass through. Jiang Qinling couldn't help but wonder in his heart, how did the old cellar head get through this small place, which was not thinner than him? While thinking about it, I groped for my feet, and when I found the edge of the big rock, I went around to it, and was immediately amazed by what I saw.

Behind the big stone was a clump of grass, and in the grass lay a man covered in blood, not the head of the old cellar, but Qian Xiaowu's assistant who disappeared last night, Lao Zhang.

At about noon, the shopkeeper came back, Xiaoyu took the herbs he brought back and went to the kitchen to boil the medicine, and after a while he came back empty-handed, everyone went back to the room to rest, and the shopkeeper was left alone, and the shopkeeper asked her: "Didn't you go to boil medicine?" How did you come back again? ”

Xiaoyu said: "The pots in the kitchen are all full of things from Uncle Li, and they are not empty at all. ”

"Then you just let him free one!"

"He's not in the kitchen, and I searched around and couldn't find him."

He ...... "The shopkeeper was about to say something, when he suddenly changed his tune." If you can't find it, forget it, you just pick a good one to clean up and vacate it, boil the medicine first, and I'll go find Lao Li. ”

"Oh!" So Xiaoyu went back to the kitchen again.

After passing away the light rain, the shopkeeper left the hotel alone, and when he saw the broken car glass at the parking lot, the corners of his mouth raised into a smile of unknown meaning. turned around and went far, and the direction of walking was the one that Lao Jiaotou walked in before, but as soon as he arrived at the intersection, he suddenly saw a person in front of him walking over, and he seemed to be holding something in his hand, and when he got closer, he saw that it was a person covered in blood, and it was a guest in his store who was holding that person, Jiang Qinling.

"Gee, what's going on?" The shopkeeper greeted him, his face full of surprise.

Jiang Qinling glanced at Lao Zhang in his hand. "The man who went missing last night."

"What?" The shopkeeper was shocked. "He's dead?"

Jiang Qinling nodded: "When I found him, he was already out of gas." ”

"Oh my God, someone's dead." The shopkeeper clasped his hands together, looking at a loss. "What should I do?"

Jiang Qinling said: "Find a place to put the body first, and then call all his companions." ”

"Okay, follow me!" The shopkeeper took Jiang Qinling into the hotel, and finally went to a vacant warehouse.

Not long after Jiang Qinling put the body away, the shopkeeper brought all the others, even Feng Nan and them.

As soon as Feng Nan saw Lao Zhang's corpse, he asked, "What's the matter?" ”

Jiang Qinling replied to her: "He was cut by someone and his carotid artery." ”

Feng Nan squatted down, pushed Lao Zhang's face aside, and sure enough, he saw a big cut on his neck. "The wound is so messy, it's not a knife."

Jiang Qinling didn't understand these things about wounds, and asked her, "Can you see what it is?" ”

Feng Nan flicked his fingertips on the wound and pulled out a sawdust. "It should be a very sharp wooden thorn."

Someone in the crowd asked, "How could Lao Zhang be killed by wooden thorns?" Who's doing it? ”

Jiang Qinling glanced at the person and didn't reply to him, but asked the shopkeeper, "Who is the old cellar head?" ”

"Old cellar head?" The shopkeeper blinked. "One of our people here is called Hanako, who has some mental problems, and occasionally appears here, why do you suddenly ask him?"

Jiang Qinling said: "I found this person after him, if I guessed correctly, it should be the hand of the old cellar head." ”

"The old cellar head actually kills people?" The shopkeeper was shocked and frightened. "How is that possible?"

Someone in the crowd shouted, "How could it be? The corpses are here. ”

"This, this, this......" The shopkeeper was speechless. What to do about it! ”

"Call the police!"

The shopkeeper became nervous when he heard the word "call the police". "You can't call the police."

"Why can't you call the police?"

"I'm ......," the shopkeeper thought about the wording, and suddenly his eyes lit up. Mr. Qian hasn't woken up yet, Xiaoyu is boiling medicine, or he should wait for him to wake up before deciding what to do. ”

That group of people, you look at me, I look at you, Qian Xiaowu is close to Lao Zhang, everyone knows it. Now that Lao Zhang is dead, Qian Xiaowu's temper is not good, if they call the police without authorization, and the police take the body away, in case of an autopsy or something, who will bear the consequences?

The shopkeeper asked again, "What do you think?" ”

"I've brought people back, and it's up to you to decide what to do with them." After Jiang Qinling finished speaking, he pulled Jiang Yunheng and left, and Feng Nan also took Agu and Zhuang Su to follow. When he arrived at the door of the room, Feng Nan suddenly said:

"Do you think it's strange?"

Jiang Qinling said softly: "Shopkeeper? ”

"Yes!"

In the end, Qian Xiaowu and those people were still moved by the shopkeeper, and they did not call the police, and the medicine boiled by Xiaoyu was also used by Qian Xiaowu, both internally and externally. Ask the shopkeeper when he will wake up, and all the shopkeeper can give is one word, wait, maybe he will wake up in a while, maybe it will take two days, in short, he will definitely wake up.

In the evening, the shopkeeper beckoned everyone out for dinner. However, when everyone came to the table and looked at the dishes on the table, it was a little difficult to swallow, and some of them shouted directly with a bad temper. "Boss, what's the situation with your dish? Can you eat it? ”

"You dissipate your gas." The shopkeeper accompanies a smiling face. "I can't help you with this!"

"What do you mean there is no way? How did you open your store? ”

The owner explained. "Ouch, here's the thing, my cook Lao Li doesn't know where to go, I haven't seen him since we came back, and he hasn't appeared at night, so no one cooks, my niece Xiaoyu and I cook delicious dishes!"

"The cook can't be seen?"

"Not really!" The shopkeeper sighed. "I've searched inside and outside but haven't found anyone, think about that...... It's really worrying. ”

"Then you won't call the police?"

The shopkeeper sighed even more. "It takes 48 hours to be a missing person to call the police, and it's useless to call the police now!"

"Then there is Lao Zhang's body still lying there, call the police and deal with it together."

"This ...... No, Mr. Qian hasn't woken up yet, didn't he say that he would deal with it when he woke up! ”

With this remark, everyone didn't say anything anymore, but they just added a little vigilance in their hearts, after all, Lao Zhang's corpse was still lying there!

After dinner, they went back to their rooms, and when they arrived at the door, Feng Nan asked Jiang Qinling: "Are you going to take care of this matter?" ”

Jiang Qinling held his hand on the doorknob. "You want to stay here?"

Feng Nan pulled the corners of one side of her mouth and smiled reluctantly. "It's been a long time, who knows what will happen, they're going to call the police......"

Jiang Qinling looked at Feng Nan. "There might be something to be gained tonight."

Feng Nan narrowed her eyes. "What do you mean?"

Jiang Qinling tugged at the corners of his mouth. "You take care of the two of them, maybe there will be bugs flying tonight."

Feng Nan pointed at Jiang Yunheng. "Him?"

Jiang Qinling said: "Yunheng is with me." ”

"Will he be able to do it?"

Jiang Qinling looked at Jiang Yunheng. "He's not what he used to be."

When Jiang Yunheng heard Jiang Qinling's evaluation, he immediately smiled. "yes, I'm not what I used to be."

Feng Nan showed a smirk: "Yes, it's not what it used to be, you two take care of yourself!" ”

After a brief conversation, Feng Nan and the others went back to their rooms, and the two Jiang brothers also went back to the house and closed the door, so Jiang Yunheng had the opportunity to ask the doubts in his heart. "Brother, what did you just say? Shinto. ”

Jiang Qinling didn't answer and asked: "Have you ever seen the chef in this store?" ”

Jiang Yunheng thought for a moment. "See, he served food to everyone at dinner yesterday, what's wrong?"

Jiang Qinling asked again: "Have you ever seen his face?" ”

"Of course I've seen it, isn't it just a ......" Jiang Yun was stunned. He seems to have been covering his face with a towel, and his head is also wrapped, and when it comes out, his head is still down, and he can't see the whole thing at all. ”

"That's right."

"What's right?"

Jiang Qinling will see the characteristics of the old cellar head. "I saw half of the beggar's face, all scarred."

Jiang Yun rolled his eyes sideways, and his eyes widened suddenly. "Brother, do you mean ......?"

Jiang Qinling nodded. "The shopkeeper tried his best to prevent them from calling the police, obviously delaying the time, probably trying to do something about it."

Jiang Yunheng asked anxiously, "What will he do?" ”

Jiang Qinling shook his head lightly. "I don't know, but if our guess is correct, one thing is for sure, the shopkeeper will find a way to meet him."

Jiang Yunheng lowered his voice and asked, "So brother means, we are following the shopkeeper?" ”

Jiang Qinling was noncommittal. "To go or not?"

"Go, of course go, track Oh, think about it, it's exciting, when to go?"

"Wait for everyone to sleep."
