Chapter 22: The Ghost in the Red Gate Inn (22).

"Woo woo woo ......" The complaining female voice cried, Mo Chen was stunned, turned his head to look at Xiaomei, but did not see her body lying in the same place. On the wall of the firewood room, there was a dilapidated oil lamp, and by the faint light of the oil lamp, Mo Chen turned around and vaguely saw a person squatting in the dark corner, "Xiaomei?" Mo Chen called out tentatively.

The man slowly turned his head, his emaciated cheeks were facing Mo Chen, and there were two lines of tears on his pale face, who could it be if it wasn't Xiaomei?

Could it be that what I just said to Xiaomei has worked? Mo Chen muttered in his heart, but he didn't know if Xiaomei still had the mind now, and it was difficult to be sure if she would suddenly attack Mo Chen.

"Xiaomei, I know you have grievances in your heart, and I really want to help you, so please tell me everything you know." As a gesture of friendship, Mo Chen took two steps closer to Xiaomei, but still maintained a relatively safe distance.

Xiaomei's resentful eyes were full of despair, kneeling on the ground and humbly moving a few steps towards Mo Chen with her knees, leaning forward, her arms wrapping around, as if someone in front of her was looking down on her condescendingly, and she just hugged the person's calf, begging.

Xiaomei's behavior surprised Mo Chen, he stared at Xiaomei silently, and had a hunch in his heart that Xiaomei seemed to be repeating a certain episode of her life.

"Please, let us live, I promise, I won't say it." Xiaomei's fingers kept trembling and scratching, as if the invisible person in front of her kicked her away with a disgusted kick, and Xiaomei was thrown to the ground hard.

I don't know what the person who can't see said to Xiaomei, she trembled like chaff, her eyes widened in horror, and tears fell like a flood that burst the embankment. Suddenly, she seemed to see something terrible, and she sat down on the ground, trembling and retreating behind her, shaking her head and muttering "Don't ......"

Immediately afterwards, Xiaomei's hands suddenly grabbed her neck, her head leaned back awkwardly, her legs struggled on the ground, and she kicked indiscriminately. Seeing her like this, Mo Chen was very anxious, he knew that this was a scene before Xiaomei died, she must have been suddenly strangled by someone and suffocated to death, but this was just a repetition of that scene, and Mo Chen couldn't help at this moment.

Xiaomei was in great pain, her face flushed due to the difficulty of breathing, her eyes bulged out in horror, and the murmur in her mouth became weaker and weaker. Xiaomei refused to give in, her body struggled constantly, and a line of hot tears slowly slipped down the corners of her eyes, but her resistance did not seem to be full strength. The position Mo Chen was standing in at the moment was just opposite Xiaomei's gaze, and in those sad eyes, there was a trace of reluctance, a trace of grievance, and more helplessness. Finally, Xiaomei stopped struggling and lay motionless on the ground, her eyes still wide open.

"Xiaomei, what exactly do you want to tell me?" Mo Chen muttered suspiciously.

The sound of knocking knocked Mo Chen back to reality, he opened his eyes tiredly, and the stiffness in his limbs made him not get up immediately, he blinked, remembering everything that had just happened.

"Xiaomei!" Mo Chen stood up with a spirit, it turned out that after being suddenly attacked, he somehow fell asleep on the ground, maybe he had just been strangled to fainting, and dreamed of Xiaomei! Thinking of this, Mo Chen rubbed his temples and looked at Xiaomei, her corpse was still lying there motionless.

"Hey! Mr. Mo~~~Boss Mo~~~Old Mo~~~" Zheng Yi's voice came through the crack in the window, accompanied by the sound of his fingers tapping on the window lattice.

Mo Chen moved his neck, approached the window, and through the gap in the window, he vaguely saw Zheng Yi on the window. "I'm here! Don't cry out like a ghost! ”

“Cīŧâ€ Zheng Yi replied angrily, "If you don't squeak, I thought you were killed by them." ”

Zheng Yi was also worried that Mo Chen was secretly assassinated by the Qian family, so he secretly ran over to "visit" him in the dead of night. Mo Chen's heart warmed, but he still said angrily, "Say it!" What's new. ”

"I went to see Qian Tianlong's corpse, and someone pierced the heart in the back, and the person was gone at that time." Zheng Yi said.

Mo Chen frowned slightly, "One blow kills, it's ruthless enough." ”

"No, it's clean, it looks like you've practiced it beforehand. You said you, and you were ruthless. Zheng Yi smacked his lips.

Mo Chen scolded in a low voice, "Get out, I didn't kill the person!" As soon as I entered the house, Mrs. Qian broke in, and I was wronged! ”

Zheng Yi snorted coldly, "Are you wronged?" was caught red-handed, apart from you, who do you say is still suspicious at the scene?! Of course, Zheng Yi knew in his heart that Mo Chen was not a murderer, but what he said was the truth, who called Mo Chen to appear at the scene of the crime so coincidentally.

"Yes! Who made me unlucky, I was caught. Mo Chen leaned his back against the window, feeling helpless in his heart.

Zheng Yi sneered, "I said Lao Mo, you haven't thought about it, why is it so coincidental that as soon as you entered the house, Old Lady Qian broke in." ”

Mo Chen snorted in his nose, "Why didn't you think about it, it wasn't that she had been ambushed in advance, just waiting for me to throw myself into the net." ”

"You, you, let me tell you what's good!" Zheng Yi's fingers tapped lightly on the window lattice, as if behind it was Mo Chen's head, "Smart and confused!" Mrs. Qian is not a fortune teller, so she informed, "When will you meet with Qian Tianlong?" ”

Wake up the person in the dream with a word, Mo Chen was stunned and suddenly thought of something, Zheng Yi was saying at this time, "The matter of Qian Tianlong's appointment, as far as he and you are concerned, we are our own people know." He can secretly ask you out, naturally he won't tell others, whether you have told others or not, you know best. ”

Zheng Yi had something to say, and Mo Chen suddenly called out a name, "Xu Yaohua?" ”

"What do you say?" Zheng Yi asked rhetorically.

When Mo Chen exchanged news with Xu Yaohua in private, he did mention to Xu Yaohua that Qian Tianlong had asked him to meet late at night, and he also mentioned that Qian Tianlong asked him for help. At that time, Mo Chen thought that everyone was on the same front, and according to what Xu Yaohua said at the time, he didn't know what his ultimate goal was, and he only received that he wanted to drive away the travelers who stayed overnight, and there was nothing else to do.

"Why did he betray me?" Mo Chen asked.

Zheng Yi smacked his lips, deliberately selling Guan Zi just didn't say it, Mo Chen slapped his palm on the window lattice angrily, "Don't ink, say it quickly!" ”

"Xu Yaohua's identity is different from ours, and his natural mission is also different." Zheng Yizheng said, "I don't know what he needs to do yet, but he is the one who told Mrs. Qian." ”

"How do you know?" Mo Chen asked.

Zheng Yi hesitated for a moment, but still told the truth, after Mo Chen went to Qian Tianlong's residence and was arrested, when Zheng Yi was cleaning up the mess, he happened to catch a glimpse of Xu Yaohua touching into Mrs. Qian's room, out of curiosity, he followed, hiding outside the door and eavesdropping on their conversation. Only then did I know that it was Xu Yaohua who told Mrs. Qian first, and the two designed to wait for Mo Chen to be captured alive as a scapegoat. Zheng Yi also heard that they planned to kill Mo Chen before reporting to the official, and then pretending to commit suicide in fear of crime.
