Chapter 19: The Human-Faced Cat
"The screams came from the inn. Alice said in a low voice.
"Whoa!"
Lu Xiaofei raised his chin in the direction of the inn window and said, "The blind man has seen it." ”
"Hmph. ”
Alice snorted, and sure enough, she saw the windows of the inn turn on one after another, followed by footsteps and the sound of conversation between the innkeeper and the guests.
"Ah.......h
Soon, another frightened scream came from the inn, and I heard someone shouting in a panic, "Dead man, dead man......."
The two glanced at each other, and they could see each other's curiosity in their eyes, and they walked towards the door of the inn with a rare tacit understanding.
didn't take two steps, Lu Xiaofei noticed that Lu Shuangshuang was not following him, looked back at the stable, and sure enough, he saw the little girl hiding in the futon to secretly look at them, and her bright eyes revealed a trace of shyness that had not yet dissipated.
Instantly remembering the embarrassing scene just now, Lu Xiaofei's face was also a little unbearable, but he couldn't leave a girl behind! ”
"Oh, come on....... Here it comes. ”
Lu Shuangshuang answered carefully, pursed his lips, and got up with his head down and followed behind the two.
The scene that happened between the two of them before naturally did not escape Alice's eyes, but she had seen too many extraordinary things in the last days, but she still felt that the temperament of the two was a little abnormal, and they were cheating.
However, he smiled jokingly, and did not laugh at Lu Xiaofei and Lu Shuangshuang.
The three of them pushed open the door of the inn, only to see that there was no one in the entire front hall, and the sound came from the guest room in the backyard.
Sure enough, as soon as I entered the backyard, I saw a group of people carrying lanterns around the door of a room, except for the innkeeper and the guys, everyone else was whispering something.
Most of them were only wearing pajamas, but a person wearing a wide black robe made Lu Xiaofei glance curiously, but he didn't think much about it, and only came out when he was dressed.
Approaching the guest room, through the carved window that had been removed, Lu Xiaofei saw a woman sitting on the bed covered in blood, her eyes were empty, obviously awakened and shocked.
After a closer look, I saw that the woman was holding something wrapped in a small blanket in her arms, which had been dyed red by blood donation.
Is it a baby?
When Lu Shuangshuang saw this scene, he was immediately frightened, and he kept tugging at the corner of Lu Xiaofei's clothes with his small hands, and said in horror, "Cuncun....... Xianggong, it's a human-faced cat, a human-faced cat did it. ”
In fact, there is no need for Lu Shuangshuang to say, Lu Xiaofei also heard it from other people's discussions, and everyone guessed that it was the so-called human-faced cat.
The reason is simple, it is common knowledge that human-faced cats like to eat babies.
Of course, this does not preclude the fact that someone kills people in the name of a human-faced cat.
"What is a face cat?"
The information that Lu Xiaofei has been revealing to Alice is that this world is very safe, and he didn't tell her about Warcraft, so when everyone was discussing the human-faced cat with relish, she was confused, which was even more confusing than listening to the book of heaven.
"The human-faced cat is a monster that likes to eat babies, because it looks like a human and is very good at camouflage, so even if it is standing in front of you, unless it is smooth, it is difficult for you to tell whether it is a human or a cat from the face. Lu Xiaofei explained.
"Is there such a creature?" Alice said with red lips and a small mouth that could stuff an egg.
"The world is so big, there's nothing to make a fuss about. Lu Xiaofei said, glanced at the onlookers, and was about to leave, when he suddenly found that the person in the wide clothes he saw before was gone, and he couldn't help but 'huh'.
"What's wrong?"
Alice asked suspiciously, "Did you find it?"
"Nope. ”
Lu Xiaofei shook his head, "It's just that I found that there was one person missing." Forget it, this matter is naturally managed by the government, let's go back to sleep!"
"You don't care?" asked Alice.
"How?"
Lu Xiaofei shrugged his shoulders and said, "Do you still want to find out the human-faced cat?"
"It's a good idea. Alice raised her eyes and smiled, "Don't you want to?"
"No, I just know I'm sleepy right now. ”
Lu Xiaofei shook his head, and when he was about to leave, he heard Ellie's ridiculous voice behind him, "If you don't hold it for a while, you won't run away, what are you anxious about." ”
Hearing Alice's words, the two of them, who had already forgotten, instantly remembered the scene not long ago, and suddenly turned red, and the scene was extremely embarrassing.
Before Alice could say anything more, the shopkeeper came out and said to everyone present with a stinky face, "Everyone present in this matter tonight is suspicious, and no one can leave until the sheriff comes." ”
followed, and ordered the shopkeeper to hurry to Cannes overnight to find the sheriff to investigate the case. After all, if it was really a human-faced cat murder, tonight's case would definitely not be the first, and it would certainly not be the last, and there would be no peace around the entire Cannes.
Although everyone was complaining, no one left, because everyone was still afraid of being mistaken for a human-faced cat.
However, the innkeeper's calm expression after ordering people made Lu Xiaofei a little curious.
Could it be that the person I saw before was not a passerby who stayed overnight?
Or is there something wrong with the innkeeper in the first place?
Thinking of this, Lu Xiaofei couldn't help but ask, "Shopkeeper, is everyone here?"
"Yes, except for my guys, all the customers are there. The innkeeper replied with a puzzled expression.
"Did you just see a man in a wide black robe? Standing here. Lu Xiaofei continued to ask, but this was asked to everyone present.
"I think I saw such a person. "Fortunately, in addition to Alice and Lu Shuangshuang, someone still noticed the elusive person.
"Oh, you're probably talking about my wife, she's been sick lately, she can't take the wind, and she just went back to the house. The innkeeper said nonchalantly.
There's nothing wrong with that.
But Lu Xiaofei felt that there was something wrong with the tone of the boss's speech, obviously as if he was facing a big enemy, as if he was afraid of being questioned by the government, why did he downplay it so lightly after it was his wife's turn.
Aren't you afraid that others will suspect that his wife is a human-faced cat?
The more he pondered, the more Lu Xiaofei felt that there was a ghost in it, so he deliberately found fault and said, "Aren't you afraid that we will suspect that your wife is a human-faced cat?"
Sure enough, it was a stone that stirred up a thousand waves, and Lu Xiaofei's words immediately resonated with other people, who all felt that they were freezing outside, and his wife was sleeping comfortably in the house, why?
The innkeeper was anxious, glared at Lu Xiaofei, who seemed to be smiling but not smiling, and hurriedly said, "Don't listen to his nonsense, how can my wife be a human-faced cat, I suspect that he is a human-faced cat." ”
"Huh. ”
Lu Xiaofei sneered and continued, "Is it a human-faced cat, call her out and we can all see if it's true or fake!
