Chapter 23: This Inn Has a "Ghost"
The cold moonlight sprinkled on every corner of the inn, and reflected through the window on the handsome faces of thousands of people. After the third watch, he began to nap slightly, he didn't know what was happening in the grove, but a slight sound made him open his eyes instantly. A faint wisp of white smoke slowly blew in through the window paper, gradually filling the bedroom.
"Smoke"
Qian Qunxiao smiled coldly, he couldn't imagine that someone would use this kind of indiscriminate means to deal with him. After thinking for a moment, he closed his eyes again, and even snoring sounded evenly from his nose. At this moment, Lu Jianping, who was on the bed next door, suddenly got up, his eyes were dull, and his expression was a little confused. Qian Qunxiao's heart was in a hurry, and he just wanted to make a warning, but Lu Jianping fell down heavily. It doesn't look like a fake, it should really be fascinated by smoke.
After another half of the hot tea, the white smoke had filled the entire corner, the door "branch" opened, and a roe deer-headed, short, and sturdy man walked in. Look at the appearance of the drums on the drums that look very similar to Shuibo Liangshan.
"Hey, hey!"
The short man chuckled proudly twice, and went straight to the package beside Lu Jianping, as if the white smoke in the room had no effect on him in the slightest.
"These two boys look extraordinary, they should have brought some valuables"
The short man lifted the package of the road sword and laid it flat on the table, and smiled like a trumpet flower on his face. But as soon as he finished speaking, a cold voice appeared behind him: "Really? I'm afraid that you have a life to steal, and you don't have a life to spend. ”
The short man turned around suddenly, and before he could see the person behind him clearly, he felt that the "Tianchi Acupoint" in his chest was numb, and the whole person couldn't move. But he saw clearly that the person behind him was the young white-clothed scholar he was aiming at in the inn during the day. At that time, he stared at Qian Qunxiao at a glance, but he just pretended to be a diner and did not attract Qian Qunxiao's attention.
"You...... Not stunned? It's impossible, it's Miao Jiang's 'Lost Phantom Incense', you can't be fine. ”
The short man didn't believe his eyes a little, but the result still disappointed him, and Qian Qunxiao still stood in front of him calmly.
Qian Qunxiao was also a little puzzled in his heart, he felt that he was very conscious from beginning to end, and he didn't even have luck just now, but he was fine. "Lost Phantom Incense", he saw it in the books in the secret room of Yingzhou Island, this is the first incense in Miao Jiang, unless the skill of the person who is in the incense is above the four realms, otherwise he will fall when he smells it.
"Do you have any treasure on you?"
The short man still didn't give up and asked.
A sentence reminded Qian Qunxiao, and he suddenly remembered the Fire Dragon Ball he had won by killing the Millennium Divine Jiao, and the only thing he could carry with him was his sword.
Thinking of this, he immediately took out the Fire Dragon Ball and walked quickly to Lu Jianping, put it in front of his nose and shook it twice. Something strange happened, the originally plain Fire Dragon Ball suddenly turned red, and a trace of red light entered Lu Jianping's nostrils. After a while, Lu Jianping suddenly opened his eyes, turned over and sat up, and said with a surprised expression: "Young master, what's going on?" ”
Qian Qunxiao was just about to speak, when a strange man's voice suddenly came from outside the house: "It's on fire, put out the fire!" ”
Qian Qunxiao was stunned when he heard this, and immediately whispered to Lu Jianping to take care of the short man, and then pushed open the door and walked out quickly.
The inn was already on fire, and the people who stayed in the inn woke up when they heard the sound, and they pushed the door and ran out one after another. And the guys in the inn are carrying buckets and fighting to extinguish the fire.
Qianqunxiao faintly felt that things were not good, and suddenly remembered that Chunhe and Caidie were asleep in another room, and was about to turn around to call, but saw that Chunhe had dragged the sleepy-eyed Caidie and ran over.
"Shaoxia, why is it on fire?"
Haruhi asked in surprise, as if she couldn't believe what was happening in front of her.
Qian Qunxiao lowered his voice and said softly: "It should be artificial, be careful of deception." ”
Chunhe nodded, turned around and pulled the colorful butterfly that was still in a daze to wake up.
There was already chaos in the inn, and many of the guests who stayed at the hotel joined the firefighting team, and it took more than an hour for the fire to finally go out.
"Get out of the way, the officers and soldiers have arrived."
An innkeeper suddenly led a team of officers and soldiers to run in quickly. Qian Qunxiao had seen this guy, it was the one who started to bring him in, and he remembered that the guy's name was Xiao Liangzi.
Qian Qunxiao's brows not only frowned slightly, these officers and soldiers came quickly, as if they had known that there would be a fire here.
After such a toss, all the guests in the guest room came out, and everyone was crowded into a corner, and most of them had a trace of fear in their eyes, as if they were afraid of provoking the fire.
"Master Jun, you're here."
The innkeeper hurried to the top of the leader, a slender man in a captain's uniform, and whispered a few words.
The lieutenant-looking man nodded, and shouted in the's throat: "Listen, I'm Fang Leopard, the captain of the city's garrison." Today, there was a sudden fire in the inn, and the innkeeper had just told the lieutenant that he had lost a few valuable things. You're all suspicious, and you can't get out of here until things are clear. ”
As soon as these words came out, there was a lot of discussion around them, and several anxious guest officers instantly shouted, to the effect that they all had important things to do in their own family, and they had to leave the store early in the morning on a cloudy day, but as soon as they spoke, they were immediately frightened by Fang Leopard's fierce eyes and terrifying momentum.
"If anyone dares to take a step out of the store, he will not admit himself, and Hugh blames the captain for shooting him on the spot."
After Fang Leopard finished speaking, he waved his right hand, and more than 100 officers and soldiers behind him immediately surrounded the inn in all directions, and the archers turned over on the roof, stretching their bows and arrows to aim at everyone in the inn.
"Now the captain of this school wants to question them one by one, and take them all to the lobby for questioning."
After Fang Bao finished speaking, he asked the shopkeeper to lead the way, and went straight to the lobby where everyone was eating. The fire burned to the east wing, a little distance from the lobby, and was not affected.
Everyone was escorted into the lobby one by one by officers and soldiers for questioning, and Qian Qunxiao also walked in the crowd with Lu Jianping, Chunhe, and Caidie. Qianfu has inexplicably become a thief, he currently wants to find out the truth of Yin, and he doesn't want to easily make enemies with the government. Before Lu Jian calmed down, he had knocked out the man who stole the package and stuffed it under the bed.
When Qian Qunxiao and the other four were questioned, the sky had dawned, Lu Jianping first walked quickly to his and Qian Qunxiao's bedroom, and Chunhe and Caidie also rushed back to their rooms to pack their luggage. Qian Qunxiao secretly observed the surroundings again, and found nothing suspicious, so he hurried back to his room.
"Young master, that person disappeared just now."
As soon as Lu Jianping saw Qianqunxiao coming, he immediately walked over and said softly.
Qian Qunxiao heard the sound for a moment, and walked to the window alone and fell into deep thought. Tonight's burglars and the inexplicable fire at the inn are not known to be related. The shopkeeper said that he had lost something valuable, could that be the thief's fault? I don't know why, Qian Qunxiao always has a hunch, and vaguely feels that it seems that all this is coming at him. Although there is no basis for it, he trusts his instincts. If your guess is correct, what is the purpose of the manipulators behind the scenes? There must be ghosts in this inn too.
Two hours passed in a blink of an eye, and a knock suddenly came from outside the door: "Guest officer, it's time for breakfast." ”
