Chapter 43: the Worm (Ask for Recommendation!Ask for Collection!)
The sky is getting dark, and the street lights on the street are lit up one after another, perhaps because of the frequent disappearances some time ago, and it is too depressing, and the people who learned that the abducted monsters have died after work will go to the street in groups of three or five to wander around in the rain, and the lively sound inside and outside the shops near the inn even reached the ears of Lu Jing, who was fiddling with double knives on the second floor of the inn.
"I've been waiting all afternoon, and it's going to be night...... Are you sure she'll come to us?"
Xu Chu wiped the rifle in his hand, turned his head to look at Lu Jing and asked.
In the morning, after going to the shipyard on Qihuang Island to arrange the repair work of the Tideflow, he went straight back to the inn to meet Lu Jing, and when he learned that the descendants of the Fu family were actually the color performers they met on the boat of the sea flowers, he was also quite surprised, and after listening to Lu Jing's explanation, he quickly realized a certain possibility,
"Could it be that I misread her?"
Putting the knife back into its sheath, Lu Jing leaned on the windowsill, his eyes wandered the street outside, and continued,
"According to my previous observation of Fu Ju, she is obviously very concerned about the soul puppet in our hands, and it should be impossible for us to sit back and watch us take it to the Shangguan family. ”
Maybe there was an unexpected incident that caused her to be unable to get out, so she didn't come...... Would you like to go to her house and check on the situation?"
Xu Ju's thoughts were no different from Lu Jing's, but he didn't just continue to wait.
"If there is really an accident, we should deal with it as soon as possible, and finding the official family to ask about this soul puppet is the second choice after all. ”
"Makes sense, hurry up and prepare. ”
Lu Jing thought about it and approved Xu Xi's idea, and walked towards the backpack next to the bed.
I didn't think that as soon as my front foot left the window, there was a sudden sound of breaking the air behind my head!
......
On the street corner outside the inn, several cars with the Qihuangdao government logo were parked, and more than a dozen people wearing navy blue official uniforms, fully armed, and only sheltered from the rain with bamboo hats on their heads, were ready to catch fast.
Beside them stood a middle-aged man who was holding an umbrella by a servant and looking like a housekeeper, holding a bulging money bag in his hand and stuffing it into the head catcher headed by him, and explained with a solemn face: "Those two thieves stole the treasure doll handed down from the ancestors of the master's family, please be sure to get it in your hands as soon as possible, if there is any mistake, I can't explain it this time!"
"Steward Zheng, don't worry, we have a plan here, aren't those two guys outsiders, we will search them first in the name of investigating the kidnappers' accomplices, they will naturally not know that we are looking for puppets, and they will definitely not be wary of us if they are not kidnappers, and we will do it when we get the things, to ensure that nothing goes wrong!"
Weighing the money bag and feeling the weight of it, the head catcher immediately showed a satisfied smile on his face, and calmly patted the butler's shoulder.
In his opinion, this extra money is simply not too easy to come.
Not long after, a young man in civilian clothes next to him came to report: "Li Zhutou, I have confirmed with the shopkeeper in the inn and the front desk last night, those two people are in the second floor Tianzi room No. 2 and No. 3, they left this morning and returned at noon, and they are still in the house until now. ”
"Have you heard it, brothers, give me a little bit of cleverness later, and when you finish your work, tonight in the Crane Tower, I'll do the east, act!"
Looking around at the subordinates who were eager to try, the head catcher held the long knife at his waist in one hand, and commanded in a deep voice, and the rest of the people naturally agreed, and the group rushed to the Yuelai Inn, and the pedestrians along the way retreated, for fear of accidentally blocking the way of these officials.
When the people were far away, in the shop on the corner of the street, the young man with a gourd on his back walked out slowly with two entourages, looked at the housekeeper and said, "Good job, wait to get back the soul puppet, there will be a reward!"
When the words fell, he didn't look at the butler who was full of flattery and didn't even dare to say it, and ran quickly to the inn.
The parasitic golem must be brought back intact, as the captain has given him.
Because of this, on the premise that he didn't know whether the Soul Puppet was on those two people and that it was difficult to guarantee that the other party would not destroy the Soul Puppet or simply use it as capital to bargain when he was cornered, he didn't do it immediately after finding the other party to stay at the inn, but chose to notify the partners of the Nightmare Pirates on Qihuang Island, and then contacted this group of officials.
When he got close to the inn, the young man raised his hand to open the seal of the gourd and whistled, and then more than a dozen black dots flew out of the gourd's mouth and went straight to the second floor.
Those officials don't need to take the puppet, all they have to do is find it and temporarily let it out of the control of those two guys, and he will be confident enough to take it over immediately, and then completely destroy those two guys who dare to provoke their nightmare pirates!
On the other side, the catchers had already ascended the stairs under the leadership of the shopkeeper, and in order to make a good appearance, they not only deliberately slowed down, but also pretended to chat with the shopkeeper about the kidnapper who blew himself up last night and his accomplices left in Qihuang City.
"You two are in charge of that room, and I'm in charge of the people here. ”
The team was divided into two groups, and the head catcher himself led people to stand at the door of the second room of Tianzi, raising his hand and knocking on the door.
"Qihuangcheng official, routine inspection, the people inside hurry over and open the door!"
After a few seconds, no one answered.
Catching Kuai's expression suddenly stiffened, and he stared at the shopkeeper next to him, who bowed down and replied with a panicked face: "Master, they didn't go downstairs...... I've been watching at the staircase before. ”
"Is there anyone in there, we are Qihuangdao ......"
Continuing to knock on the door but never hearing anyone reply, the head catcher glanced at the subordinate next to him, who also found nothing, as if he realized something, took a step back, and then kicked the door open.
In the next second, I saw that the expression of the head catcher was stunned at first, and then turned into a rage, turned around and grabbed the shopkeeper behind him, and roared angrily: "Damn, you said that the person who has not come downstairs has been there!"
On the table facing the main entrance, an apple was placed on the table, and a small face with a tongue stuck out was drawn with charcoal in the middle.
Are you angry?
In the face of more than a dozen fierce expressions, the shopkeeper, who had never seen such a battle, could still speak, hesitated a few times, and finally rolled his eyes up, and fainted directly.
At the same time, there was a sound of hurried footsteps in the corridor, and everyone turned around, only to see a young man approaching this way.
"Hey, you're a guest on this floor, I'm asking you ......"
Glancing at the thin young man who had completely ignored the catcher, he stood in the doorway, looking inside the empty room, he couldn't understand how the two men sensed the danger and left early.
You must know that before this, in order to avoid startling the snake, he had not even approached the inn.
A knuckle-thick bamboo tube was taken out from the waist, and several strange-looking insects flew around the room, collecting scents.
To be sent to find the Soul Golem, he naturally has his own special abilities.
When the rain stops and the smell circulates again, he's going to leave those two damned thieves with nothing to hide!
