Chapter 266: Haunted

The town of Pegasus, located on the northern outskirts of St. Gallen, 200 miles away, is the only way to another small town, Sacien. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

There are about 300 families in the town, most of whom are tenants, but there are also merchants who run small businesses.

The proprietor of the Silver Pine Hotel, where the Tiger Cicada Hunting Group stayed, was a businessman from St. Gallen.

The guests in the hotel are basically hunters and caravans from the north to the south.

In the past, business was not bad, but in the last month or so, due to an unexpected "haunting" incident, a large number of customers have been lost, and Thompson has had to submit a commission to the St. Gallen Hunters' Guild. This commission happened to be taken over by the Tiger Cicada Hunting Group.

After a day of getting along, Rodin had a preliminary impression of the six members of the Tiger Cicada Hunting Group.

Magany, a middle-aged man with a modest reputation, was promoted to be the head of the regiment because of his ability to obtain high-quality commissions.

Another impressive man is the elegant mustachioed Rogers, who is slender and has not yet become a strong man, and his actual combat ability is at the bottom of the tiger cicada. However, he has been responsible for formulating the specific implementation plan of the commission, and is an indispensable think tank for the tiger cicada.

The remaining four team members, Dario, Chekov, Sicic, and Tarantino, all have well-developed limbs, except for two brute strengths, they are lackluster, but they are simple-minded and straightforward.

In addition, Rodin also reached a consensus with the hunting group to assist in completing the commission to repay the so-called debt in the past half month, and he can also get a large share at that time.

Although he lost most of his memory, Rodin felt more relaxed than ever, not dwelling on the cause and effect, but doing what he wanted, earning a sum of money and making a group of friends.

The rest of the things are slowly being figured out.

"So, let's start solving the hotel commission next, why don't we catch that evil spirit first?"

Rodin was sitting in the lobby on the first floor of the hotel, and a glass of specialty truffle wine had bottomed out, and it was obvious that he was still a little unsatisfied.

"Yes, sir. Langman, the bearded man in the Tiger Cicada Hunting Group, patiently explained, "The evil spirit is an extremely cunning monster, and the last time it struck a snake, it won't reappear within a week. It is better to take advantage of this gap to complete the other commissions first. ”

"I'm sorry, if it weren't for me-"

"Brother Rodin, there is no need to feel guilty, there is still half a month before the evil spirit commission expires, and the monster may appear again. When the time comes, with the help of you, a bronze powerhouse, it will be even more stable. ”

Marganny patted him on the shoulder, "Haha, this hotel commission also needs your help." ”

It didn't take long for a middle-aged man with a big belly and kind eyebrows to arrive in a hurry.

"Sorry to keep you waiting, Chris, add a glass of truffle to each of you!"

At this moment, Rodin suddenly felt that the fat man in front of him became cute.

"Hmm...... Wine is such a good thing, I may have been an alcoholic before I lost my memory. ”

"Now that everybody's here, tell me, Thompson, what's going on?"

"Well, I don't know which bastard spread the word about the haunting, and I can't say if there was actually anything dirty! ”

Thompson sighed sadly, "That was the day two months ago......"

"A shoemaker who had come all the way from Sacian stayed at the Silver Pine Inn. His name was Lu Wen, and he was a tall and sturdy guy who looked very kind, and I remember that he praised our water chestnut sauce and truffle wine. ”

"Maybe I drank too much wine, and Mr. Shoemaker had a rare extravagance, and actually booked the only luxurious suite on the top floor of the hotel. ”

Speaking of this, Thompson suddenly glanced around vigilantly, and saw that there was no one in the hall except for a few of them, so he lowered his voice, "When he was paying, the shoemaker took out a bulging money bag, and I estimate that there are also a thousand Marelli. And it was a meal at that time, and there were many people, and many guests saw this scene. ”

The people of the Tiger Cicada Hunting Group exchanged glances.

"A thousand Marelli, this shoemaker is too careless. ”

"Yes, yes, in the middle of nowhere, that's a lot of money. The wealth was very moving, and at that time I concluded that a few guys had evil intentions! and I also reminded the guys to take care of them more. The innkeeper said with a sense of urgency.

"Oh, in your opinion, who had bad intentions at the time?"

Thompson replied without thinking, "Isn't it just that the two bastards in town, Downton and Arthur, don't find a serious job and idle all day, and do a lot of stealing chickens and dogs." Don't hide it from your adults, the two still owe the hotel a wine bill. ”

"Don't go too far, and continue that night. ”

"Oh. Thompson sneered, his eyebrows fluttering again.

Sure enough, something happened that night. ”

Hearing the point, the six people sitting on the side were obviously in good spirits and straightened up, only Rodin was still tepidly sipping truffle wine.

"Listening to the description of the guy who kept vigil, it was about twelve o'clock, and suddenly a scream rang out in the guest room. ”

At that time, many guests were woken up, and the young man immediately rushed to the guest room to inspect it. ”

"On the first floor and second floor, the guests were safe and sound. ”

"There was a problem with the shoemaker who stayed in the luxury suite on the top floor. Thompson's tone was abrupt, and a look of horror flashed across his fat face.

"The shoemaker, Mr. Lu Wen, has disappeared alive! There is not a single ghost in the huge room, except for his pile of tools and goods. It's not strange for you to say. ”

"Gone?" Rodin muttered, slamming the empty glass upside down on the table, and asked nonchalantly, "what does the sheriff of the town say about this?"

Thompson gave the guy next to him a wink, and the guy knew how to fill another glass for Rodin.

"After investigation, the sheriff characterized this incident as a burglary, because the shoemaker's money bag was gone, and the luggage was scattered all over the place, especially the dozens of pairs of shoes that were thrown in a mess, and there were obvious signs of someone turning it. And the windows of the guest rooms were still open. ”

"The biggest suspicion is that after the scream, in just one minute, it was not enough to get the tall shoemaker away, and the thief still couldn't find a shadow. Some people blew the sky and said that the Silver Pine Hotel was haunted, and the shoemaker was swallowed alive by the ghosts. ”

"The country people are most concerned about ghosts and monsters, and they spread the word to hundreds, and in less than two days, everyone knew about it. More than a month has passed, and it still doesn't stop, chattering all day long, and the passing guests are frightened one by one. ”

"Alas, the basic situation is almost like this, my lords, you must catch the real culprit behind the scenes and clear the stigma of the small shop!"

Magani touched his bearded chin,

"So you don't think there's a 'ghost' at all. ”

"That's right, the Silver Pine Hotel has been open for fifteen years and has been safe and sound, how can it be haunted?"

"Alright, no more nonsense," said Rodin, as he drank the last drop of wine from his glass, his expression slightly dazed. "Take us to the room first. ”

Thompson's expression froze, and he hurriedly excused himself, "The sheriff has inspected the scene several times, and it has already been cleaned up, and even the shoemaker's goods have been handed in, and there is no clue. ”

Rodin looked at him coldly like a knife, "What are you hiding?"

"Where, Lord Force, how dare I fool you!?" Thompson quickly wiped his cold sweat and hurriedly shook his head in denial. "I'll take you there"
