Chapter 51: The Box

Resisting my fear and nausea, I immediately ran to the well, quickly fetched a large bucket of water, and scrubbed my hands constantly.

Not only on my hands, but even on my clothes and hair, there was a disgusting corpse smell, but I was too nervous to notice it just now.

This corpse smell came from Xiao Yan's father, and when I wrapped Xiao Yan's father's corpse in plastic wrap, I touched his clothes more than once. The stench of corpses stuck to my hands. I almost rubbed the skin off my hands, but the smell still couldn't get away.

While I was upset, the strict Taoist priest quietly appeared in the courtyard.

I was taken aback by the sudden appearance of the strict Taoist priest, and tried my best to calm my countenance. But I didn't dare to look into the eyes of the strict Taoist priest, so I could only keep washing my hands in a panic.

The strict Taoist priest did not mention that he slept for a day, but said in a somewhat hoarse voice: Did you touch the corpse?

I nodded uneasily, and then continued to wash my hands, and the strict Taoist priest frowned and said: It's useless, it can't be washed off, and the smell of corpses can only slowly fade.

I looked at the strict Taoist priest, but the strict Taoist priest said, you go to other rooms to find clothes to change, and then wash your hair, we will go to the hotel at night. Wait for that fat friend of yours to show up.

I can only follow the arrangement of the strict Taoist priest.

Although I was resistant to wearing the clothes that Xiao Yan worn, it smelled stronger than the disgusting corpse smell. The strict Taoist priest said that I was right to suppress the smell of corpses, but after I moved the corpse like this, there was no way to solve the future affairs.

I couldn't do it in my heart, and I didn't listen to what the strict Taoist priest said. It was dark at night when I left the yard. Daoist Priest and I soon arrived at the hotel.

There was no change in the room, I paced back and forth restlessly, according to the time when the fat man usually appeared, it should be around one or two o'clock in the morning, but I and the strict Taoist priest could not be sure of today.

Because we and Fat Ziwen are already close at hand, Fat Ziwen just wants to take me somewhere, and it should have appeared.

I went to close the window, and when I turned around, I saw the strict Taoist priest lying on the door, looking out through the cat's eyes. This action is really a bit funny, and the strict Taoist priest has never had such an appearance.

But I didn't dare to disturb the strict Taoist priest at all, and after a long time, the strict Taoist priest raised his head, frowned and shook his head.

I wanted to ask what the strict Taoist priest meant, but the strict Taoist priest made a gesture to me not to make a sound. I understand that the rigorous Taoist priest wants to occupy the active position this time, because usually the appearance of the fat man's text is passively discovered by us, and the rigorous Taoist priest can see the fat man's text first by looking at the cat's eye all the time.

Shaking my head meant that I didn't see anything, and I was curious, and I poked my head over to see what was going on outside.

It was pitch black in the cat's eye. I couldn't see anything, I tried to hold my breath, I was about to stare out, I lay on the door for half an hour, still no response, I raised my head in some annoyance, and walked into the room.

The strict Taoist priest glanced up at me, and immediately knew the situation outside from my face, and then said in the same voice: Wait, just listen carefully to the movement, we are already here, I am not afraid that he will not appear.

I scratched my head and said, "It's so dark outside, I'm afraid I won't be able to see his shadow even if I appear."

After saying this, I was immediately stunned, and the strict Taoist priest stood up suddenly, rushed to the door, and opened the door with a slam of a hand. The dim light came into my eyes all at once.

When I looked out from the cat's eye just now, it was indeed pitch black and there was nothing, but there was obviously a light in the corridor.

The only possibility is that someone covered the cat's eye with their hands, and I didn't dare to think about it, but there were no other traces at the door, including the bloody footprints that appear every night.

The strict Taoist priest frowned and said: What does he want to express?

I shook my head uneasily and said I didn't know. The Taoist priest asked me if I had been to this hotel before, or if I had anything to do with it.

Because the strict Taoist priest now thinks that Fat Ziwen brought me here, but he doesn't show up. It is very likely that Fat Ziwen has achieved his goal. I pondered for a long time, and then told the Taoist priest that I hadn't even noticed a hotel here except the last time we came together. And even if I first came to this village, I came to Xiao Yan's wedding.

The face of the strict Taoist priest remained unchanged, and then he suddenly said, Think about it carefully, what happened when you came to this hotel last time.

I blurted out suddenly, the last time I found out that the fat man was pretending to be a deceitful person, it was in this hotel, and that night Wu Kui misunderstood me and went to Xiao Yan's house to destroy the evidence.

The rigorous Taoist priest said yes, it must have something to do with this matter, let me think about what is going on, the key position must be there!

I struggled to remember the events of that night, and suddenly I woke up.

There was nothing wrong with the day Fat Ziwen appeared, but after that, Wu Kui and I both heard someone knocking on the door at night, and it was still knocking on the door of the room where I lived. But based on this thing alone, I still can't know why Fat Ziwen is bringing me over.

The strict Taoist priest said to me that we should go to the next room to have a look, and I wanted to nod and agree directly, but suddenly remembered that the rooms on both sides of us were occupied, and if we went to someone else's room in the middle of the night, there might be a problem.

The strict Taoist priest said to go to the boss and ask, see who lives there, if not, change rooms with him.

I thought to myself that the strict Taoist priest was talking about ease, but I thought that the clue was probably in that room, so I didn't say anything more, and the two of them went downstairs with the strict Taoist priest. Find the owner of the inn and ask who lives in the next room.

Another point, what I didn't say to each other with the strict Taoist priest is that at the beginning, I and the strict Taoist priest had already asked the hotel owner, and there were only three groups of people living in the entire hotel, and one of the rooms on both sides of me and the strict Taoist priest was probably the fat man who lived.

When I analyzed with the strict Taoist priest that the clue might be the room I used to live in, I began to wonder if Fat Ziwen would live in that room.

The innkeeper hadn't slept yet, and when he heard the question asked by the strict Taoist priest, he still had a request at the same time.

The innkeeper patted his chest and said it was fine, but just now, the occupant of the next room came to check out and left.

I immediately thought, could it be that Fat Ziwen left?

The innkeeper didn't ask for more than a strict Taoist priest, but was very generous and hearty and took us upstairs, and then opened the room.

The inside of the house was very tidy, and the innkeeper scratched his head and said: I really have never seen a guest who has taken such care to clean up his room after leaving.

The Taoist priest and I kept looking at the layout of the room.

In the blink of an eye, I saw the box, and suddenly remembered one thing that I had overlooked!

After knocking on the door that night, I couldn't sleep and went to the balcony and found this box on the balcony! There was no such box in the room before! At that time, Liu Xin stayed in this hotel for a day, so I subconsciously thought that this box was brought in by the hotel owner!

I stared at the box. The strict Taoist priest also found out about this problem, and then carelessly went to block the innkeeper's sight and began to talk about other topics with the innkeeper.

As the two men talked, they left the room and went downstairs.

My forehead was already covered with fine sweat, and I gasped heavily. Was this box really sent in by the innkeeper? My instinct is terrible to tell me, it is very likely that the purpose of the fat man's article is to take me to this box.

Step by step, he walked towards the box.

The moonlight outside the balcony was hazy, and the hairy moon was particularly infiltrating.

The box was placed in the corner, and when I looked at the box carefully, I felt that it was quite old, but it was still slightly reflective.

I just wanted to get the box with my hands, but the whole person stiffened all of a sudden.
