Chapter 21: The Inn Murder (Part II)
When he reached the second floor, Fang Yue saw the shopkeeper coming up from downstairs with a rag broom.
Fang Yue returned to his room and stood in front of the window, looking at the sky, thinking about his next itinerary in his mind.
According to the original idea, he wanted to go back to the countryside, but now, with magical powers and martial arts, there is a bigger stage and more resources in the county.
Whether you want to get more merit points, or to collect some martial arts as food for continuing to deduce the exercises, and in the process of practicing, the daily consumption of food and medicinal materials is more convenient to obtain in the county town.
More importantly, Fang Yue wanted to see the response of the imperial court, and he couldn't watch the entire county seat of Ping'an County become a place where demons and ghosts were rampant.
As the lord of the twenty-seven states under heaven, there must be extraordinary powers in the Great Apocalypse Dynasty, or behind him, but I don't know what attitude these extraordinary forces have towards mortals?
"Murder! Dead! ”
A frightened shout interrupted Fang Yue's thoughts.
"It's the voice of the shopkeeper, he was holding a rag and a broom just now, obviously going upstairs to clean up, what happened?"
Fang Yue shook his body, and when he arrived outside the house, he saw the shopkeeper lying in the corridor, spitting and vomiting, and the bitter water was about to spit out.
Fang Yue endured his nausea and asked, "What happened?" ”
When the shopkeeper saw Fang Yue, it was like a savior, pointing to the Chenzi room where the door was open, and said with fear on his face: "That, there, dead people, dead corpses, wow......"
As he spoke, he vomited again.
Fang Yue frowned, and when the door was opened, the pungent and strange smell came to his face again, like a smell of smell like incense, mixed with a rust-like smell, which was disgusting.
Footsteps sounded, and several people downstairs heard the shouts of the shopkeeper, and ran up to check what was going on, and the guests on the second floor, in addition to Fang Yue, two people also ran out of the room.
"Agui, what the hell are you calling and what happened?"
The old shopkeeper's old face was about to wrinkle into a chrysanthemum, and just now he heard the shopkeeper shouting that he was killing and dying, and he had a very ominous premonition in his heart.
If there is any homicide in the inn, will the inn be able to open in the future?
"Shopkeeper, inside, ...... inside" The shopkeeper vomited darkly, coupled with extreme fright, he was almost speechless, but he kept pointing to the Chen Zi room in the corner, as if there was something extremely frightening in it.
Everyone was frightened by the appearance of the shopkeeper, and the pungent smell in the air, and their faces showed panic.
"Someone, come with me over and have a look." Fang Yue said.
Everyone, you look at me, I look at you, but no one volunteered.
The old shopkeeper pulled the guy who ran the hall, "Ah Hu, you and Fang Xiu will go over and have a look." ”
"Ah, me?" The guy who ran the hall was a little panicked.
"Let's go." Fang Yue walked forward first, and Ah Hu had to follow behind.
Walking to the door of the Chenzi room, Rao is Fang Yue was prepared, and when he saw the scene in front of him, his face was also shocked.
And Ah Hu behind him was even more unbearable, and when he glanced at it, he was the same as the shopkeeper, and he vomited.
Seeing that there was no danger, the others were frightened and curious about what was inside, so they followed and probed their heads to look into the house.
This hope was all thrown out.
The old shopkeeper shouted: "It's over." Rolling his eyes, he fainted, and was quickly grabbed by Fang Yueyan's hand, so that he didn't break out a handful of old bones.
The scene in the house was almost a slaughterhouse, but unfortunately it was not cattle and sheep that were slaughtered, but people, and Fang Yue finally understood that the smell of rust hidden in the smell of incense and smell was simply the smell of blood.
Fang Yue put the old shopkeeper lying against the corner of the wall, turned his head to look around at everyone, and said sharply: "Don't destroy the scene, come to take care of the old shopkeeper personally, and then go to the yamen to report the case." ”
With that, he rushed downstairs and chased outside.
The four traders had just left, and he wanted to see if he could catch up with them.
Fang Yue ran out of the way, but in the end he returned in vain, and the four foot merchants were nowhere to be found.
Back at the inn, everyone had gathered in the lobby downstairs, and the old shopkeeper had also woken up from his coma, where he sighed.
Seeing Fang Yue coming back, everyone gathered around.
"Fang Xiucai, can you catch up with those murderers?"
"Fang Xiucai, what should we do now?"
"Oh my God, that's good!"
The noisy shouting made Fang Yue have a headache, "Quiet, has someone gone to the Yamen to report the case?" ”
The old shopkeeper's old face trembled, and he gritted his teeth and said: "I asked Ah Hu to go to the Yamen to report the case, these foot traders who have been cut by thousands of knives are simply brutes!" ”
Fang Yue didn't know what to say, this kind of horrific murder had happened, and I was afraid that it would be difficult for this inn to open in the future.
And it is doubtful whether the identities of the four big men are really foot traders.
"I'll go upstairs and have a look."
I glanced at it in a hurry before, only to feel disgusted, and hurriedly ran out to chase the murderer, but I didn't look closely, now that I think about it, the scene in that room, in addition to being disgusting and terrifying, is also a little weird, Fang Yue wants to confirm it.
Holding back all kinds of emotions such as nausea and disgust, Fang Yue walked into the Chenzi room again.
The blood stains and stumps on the ground that had not yet dried up, and it was almost impossible to get off the feet, especially on the middle bed, where a woman's head was placed.
This woman, judging from her countenance, was quite beautiful, her eyes were half-closed and half-closed, her mouth was slightly open, and her face had the afterglow of pleasure.
If it is a normal scene, this should be an extremely attractive picture, like a begonia sleeping in spring and a pear blossom confiding.
But with only one head left, then there is only terror.
Fang Yue searched around the house and found the heads of two other women, placed in the southeast and northeast corners of the house.
There were also a few strange symbols on the ground made of minced flesh and limbs, and the blood stains all over the ground, which did not seem to be sprinkled and flowed at random, but according to certain laws.
"Sacrifice? Or is it just a carnage? If it is a sacrifice, such a strange and cruel way, who is the demon god to be sacrificed? ”
Especially when he thought that when this scene happened, he was living in a guest room separated from each other, and Fang Yue's face was a little ugly.
The impact of the bloody scene in front of him was too great, and there was a strange smell and bloody smell in the air, and Fang Yue also had some nausea in his stomach.
He didn't stay long, and after checking it, he left the scene of the crime and closed the door with his hand.
Walking downstairs, Fang Yue saw that several inn guests had hurriedly packed their things and were ready to leave.
This kind of horrific and bloody murder has happened, who would dare to live in peace in the inn again.
"Haven't the people from the Yamen come yet?" Fang Yue asked.
"Not yet?" The answer was the shopkeeper Agui, who was accompanying the old shopkeeper.
The old shopkeeper looked at the guests who packed their luggage and fled for their lives, and kept sighing, standing up for such a bizarre case, not only the inn business was yellow, but I was afraid that I would have to eat a lawsuit to avoid disasters.
The old shopkeeper looked at Fang Yue and said as if asking for help: "Fang Xiucai, you have read a book, can you do it?" ”
Fang Yue smiled bitterly and shook his head, he knew what the old shopkeeper meant, but what could he do.
In fact, at this moment, he also had some doubts in his heart, if the scene in that room was some kind of sacrificial ritual, why did the four big men choose to be in a crowded inn instead of choosing a remote place that is not easy to be discovered?
Was the location chosen at random, or was it chosen?
