Liu Ruiying almost dragged the proprietress to this coffin.

Let her see her dead men.

"The man is dead. ”

The proprietress said.

"Anyone who gets stabbed in the brain will die. ”

Liu Ruiying said.

"Alas...... That's why I said that those who live are all immortal hands. ”

The proprietress sighed leisurely and said.

Her sigh blew onto the lamp in her hand.

Let the flames shake.

It also adds a bit of weirdness and sadness to this coffin shop.

"He listened to you and lay down in a coffin to ward off evil spirits. But it didn't shy away from it. How do you explain that?"

Liu Ruiying asked.

"Aren't you from the Investigation Division? Half of the living are all about the living, and all the private things are known. Why do you want to ask me? I'm just a businessman, an ordinary proprietress ”

The proprietress said.

"The affairs of people are naturally clear, but whether you are haunted or gods here, I don't know. ”

Liu Ruiying said.

He then took out the unbladed knife that had killed his men.

"He was killed by this knife?"

The hostess asked.

"I just pulled it out of his head. ”

Liu Ruiying said.

However, the words of the proprietress gave him some hints.

The most obvious is not necessarily the most real.

There's a knife stuck in my head though.

But this man was not necessarily killed by the knife.

Previously, the person in the station building of the Investigation Division of Yangwen Town had been lying in the coffin, and Liu Ruiying had not been able to examine the body properly.

Now it seems that he is a little careless.

He asked Hua Nong to help him carry the body out of the coffin.

Although he had an easier way to place the corpse.

But for the deceased, there is always a little respect and respect.

The body should gradually stiffen after death.

But this person's corpse was as soft as catkins.

Liu Ruiying touched it carefully.

The bones in his body were shattered.

In addition to the head, even the joints of the fingers are no exception.

Move slightly.

His mouth began to gulp and vomit blood.

As a last resort, he could only lie quietly in the coffin

Although Liu Ruiying was silent on the surface, it was still difficult to hide the horror in his heart.

His hands were already starting to tremble slightly.

What kind of person can turn all the bones of a person's body into powder in an instant without hurting the flesh and skin?

Relative to this dead man.

He was extremely happy.

Because he didn't feel any pain.

Death has come in an instant, it has happened.

But compared to Liu Ruiying, it is extremely terrifying.

In the face of such an opponent, he felt a deep sense of powerlessness.

"Can you clear my name now?"

The proprietress said lightly.

Liu Ruiying nodded.

The hostess doesn't have such skills.

Liu Ruiying has never seen anyone with such ability.

And if you count it from the time of death.

When he died, the proprietress should have happened to be in Liu Ruiying's house.

"The coffin is still sold to you as a horse. ”

After the proprietress said this, she twisted her waist and prepared to leave.

But Liu Ruiying suddenly remembered something.

He grabbed the proprietress by the waist and pressed her against the lid of the coffin next to her.

His eyes were blazing.

"In addition to you, there are two women here. I've seen them, where are they?"

Liu Ruiying asked.

"I don't know whose bed they're serving. Why, you don't like me, but you like them?"

The proprietress said something ridiculous though.

The tone is extremely serious.

Liu Ruiying raised the knife and put it in front of the proprietress .

She hadn't been able to see clearly because of the dim lighting.

At this moment, when he looked at this short knife, his face immediately changed.

The hostess was scared.

But what was she afraid of?

What exactly does this knife represent?

"Looks like you know this knife!"

Liu Ruiying said.

"No...... I don't know! I've never seen one! Who would use a knife that doesn't cut it!"

The proprietress said.

Liu Ruiying smiled.

Because he knew that the proprietress knew the knife.

You can't open it, it's not something you can see at a glance.

Although Liu Ruiying knew that the proprietress could use a knife, he could see the characteristics of a knife like this, unless he had seen this knife a long time ago.

The hostess wanted to struggle to leave.

But he was held down by Liu Ruiying.

He didn't speak.

Because he was waiting for the proprietress to speak first.

"Just open all the coffins here and take a look. ”

The proprietress finally relented.

Liu Ruiying motioned to Hua Nong to take a look.

Hua Nong's understanding of death is different from that of normal people.

In his eyes, life and death, killing and being killed, are like hens laying eggs and roosters crowing.

It's all common sense in the world.

But there's nothing special to care about.

I saw him sword by sword, picking up all the coffin lids.

The proprietress watched Hua Nong's movements, closed her eyes, and muttered "sin...... Sin ......"

Liu Ruiying didn't pay attention to her chattering performance.

He only wants answers, only the truth.

"Uncle Shi, all the dead people here have a hole in their heads. Exactly the same as him. ”

Hua Nong said to Liu Ruiying.

"So you lied. ”

Liu Ruiying said.

"What did I lie?"

The proprietress asked, straightening her neck.

"You said you'd never seen this knife, but all the dead people here were stabbed in the head by it. ”

Liu Ruiying said.

The proprietress was silent.

"Where are the rest of the knives? ”

Liu Ruiying asked.

"What the rest of the knives?"

The proprietress asked, raising an eyebrow.

The matter has come to this point, even if Liu Ruiying uses strength, it will not help.

Fortunately, when he went downstairs just now, he kicked a few ingots of silver that had just been delivered in his arms.

He took a tablet out of his bosom and stuffed it into the placket of the proprietress chest.

"Follow me. ”

Having received the money, the proprietress did not seem so relaxed and happy.

But at least this clue can continue to be followed.

The proprietress took Liu Ruiying and Hua Nong to the back hall.

It is the place where the fat boss cooks meat for everyone during the day.

There is always an unpleasant smell of oiliness in the back hall of other restaurants.

But in the back hall here, the air is as fresh as it gets.

If you can't see the earthen stove and the cauldron, no one would think that this is the place to cook.

The proprietress walked to the innermost part of the back hall.

Liu Ruiying did not follow in.

Because the back hall is impermeable, even the moonlight can't get in.

There was only a small lamp in the hands of the proprietress , but it was not enough to illuminate the surroundings.

For unfamiliar places, Liu Ruiying will never take risks.

If it was just him, it would be better to say.

But now he is still following Huanon.

Liu Ruiying saw that the proprietress took out an iron box from the innermost cabinet in the back hall.

Anything in a tin box will jingle.

But after the proprietress took out the iron box, there was no sound.

Either because her hands are steady.

Either that, or because the tin box is very full, there is no gap.

The proprietress walked up to Liu Ruiying with the iron box and handed the lamp in her hand to Hua Nong.

Then, holding the iron box in one hand, he opened it with the other.

Liu Ruiying saw that inside the iron box, it was actually full of a whole box of short knives.

It was exactly the same as the one he had just pulled from the head of the dead Yangwen Town Investigation Division.

"How long have you been accumulating these knives?"

Liu Ruiying asked.

"I don't remember. Sometimes a lot, sometimes not for a long time...... But how long it lasted in total, I don't remember. ”

The proprietress said.

Liu Ruiying reached out and took the iron box.

Then he put the knife in his hand as well.

"Then you can keep accumulating. ”

Liu Ruiying said.

But with an extra short knife, the iron box couldn't be closed at all.

Liu Ruiying returned to the room.

Hua Nong also walked in with him.

The two men sat at the table in silence.

No matter who it is, when it comes to the death of two people in a day, they must be speechless.

Liu Ruiying suddenly wanted to smoke.

He always had in his bag the cigarette stick of the old stable, which he had stolen at that time.

It's just that Liu Ruiying rarely takes out this cigarette stick.

Liu Ruiying rummaged through his bag and took out the cigarette stick.

But if you have a cigarette stick and no tobacco, you can't smoke.

Is it possible to put paper balls in and ignite them?

Liu Ruiying suddenly remembered that there was a smoker in this mine.

It was the fat beggar at the entrance to the shack area.

That is, the younger brother of the fat boss.

Liu Ruiying wanted to go to him to buy some tobacco.

He believed that as long as he paid, the fat beggar would definitely give it.

It's like when he took the little beggars two taels of silver and gave them food.

Just as Liu Ruiying got up and was about to go buy tobacco with Hua Nong.

The proprietress pushed the door open again and entered.

Only this time she wasn't alone.

Rather, with his husband, the fat boss.

The proprietress was holding a large plate in her hand.

There were jugs of wine on the plate, as well as a ball of shredded tobacco.

and two minas of fifty taels of silver.

The proprietress and the fat boss walked in and put the plates on the table.

Then she took out the ingot of silver that Liu Ruiying had just stuffed into from the placket on her chest and put it on the table.

"You need money for everything here, when did you change the limelight? But you give me money and invite me to drink and smoke. ”

Liu Ruiying said.

"Drink this pot of wine, smoke this bag of cigarettes, take your money, and go. ”

The proprietress said.

The fat boss had no words.

Just filled the glass with wine.

They brought a total of four wine glasses.

Then he picked up the cigarette stick that Liu Ruiying put on the table.

With his thick fingers, he clumsily stuffed tobacco into the smoke pot.

If you don't put a little tobacco in it, the fat boss will press it hard with his thumb.

Just filled Liu Ruiying with a full pot.

"If you put tobacco like this, I'm afraid you can't smoke it. ”

Liu Ruiying said.

Loading tobacco is the same as life.

You have to leave some space.

It's so hard to press like this, I'm afraid it's very difficult.

Even if you light it, you can't pump it out of your mouth.

The fat boss was still speechless after hearing this.

Just took the cigarette holder in his mouth and put the smoke pot next to the lamp.

Leaning his head and snorting hard.

Liu Ruiying could see that he was sipping extremely hard in every bite.

After three or five puffs, he forced his cigarette to smoke.

"As long as you push hard, the smoke road will always pass. ”

The fat boss handed the cigarette to Liu Ruiying and said.

"Why do we want us to leave?"

Liu Ruiying took the cigarette stick, put it on the table, and did not smoke.

He kept an eye on it.

Who knows if there's something else in this tobacco?

But he didn't drink the wine either.

Although the wine here is inferior and expensive.

But if you buy the wine you buy with your own money, you will always feel more at ease when you drink it.

What's more, the boss lady and the fat boss, who have always put money first, actually returned all the money.

Is this still worth it?

Let a person who falls into the eye of money spit out the money.

It's the same as drunkards don't drink and gamblers don't gamble money.

It's all impossible.

But if it happens, there must be a terrible reason.

Presumably because of those knives that have no blades and have the same shape.

"The moonshine is so nice tonight. ”

Liu Ruiying looked out the window and said.

"So after drinking this glass of wine, take advantage of the good moonlight, and leave quickly. ”

The proprietress raised her glass and said.

"Where are you leaving?"

Liu Ruiying asked.

He's not a ranger like a little clever.

You can go anywhere, and you can mix in any kind of excitement.

Liu Ruiying is really waiting for Jing Yao to buy iron ore here.

didn't wait for Jing Yao, how could he leave?

"Go back to your Zhongdu, go back to your Investigation Division. ”

The proprietress said.

Liu Ruiying was silent.

Why didn't he want to go back?

It's just that after he goes back, the Zhongdu Investigation Division will send another person to continue him to do what he is doing.

It's not that Liu Ruiying is great.

It's just that he doesn't want to die any more.

Too many people have died.

There are already too many sad things.

Rather than a group of people being heartbroken, he is alone in a broken heart.

It's just a sense of responsibility.

Maybe it's wrong, maybe it's just juvenile spirit.

But he had to persevere.

And he can't die.

In any case, Liu Ruiying still has to bring Huanong back to Zhongdu completely and lively.

At this moment, there was a sudden commotion outside the door.

Liu Ruiying held the sword vigilantly.

"Don't panic, it's just that they're ready to leave. ”

The proprietress said.

"Who are they? ”

Liu Ruiying asked.

"These are the same people who live on the second floor as you. ”

The proprietress said.

"These people are here to hide from things, aren't they afraid of things overnight and dare to go out in a dignified manner?"

Liu Ruiying asked.

"People who hide are here to live. I continue to stay here, but I don't know when I'm going to die. So it's better to go out and have a fight. ”

The proprietress said.

Liu Ruiying got up and stood in front of the window.

Sure enough, I saw a lot of people leaving in a hurry.

They didn't ride horses.

The steps under his feet are very fast.

As soon as they went out, they went their separate ways.

Even if two people happen to be walking in the same direction, they are far apart.

The people who walked in front also looked back at the back from time to time.

In the blink of an eye, except for Liu Ruiying's next door, the entire second floor was gone.

Liu Ruiying's house is the most lively place.

The two girls who only showed up once before also stood at Liu Ruiying's door.

The flush on his face has not subsided.

Breathing is still a little rapid.

But the clothes are already in order.

But from the messy green silk on their sideburns, it is not difficult to see what they are doing.

Liu Ruiying asked Hua Nong to take out another ingot of silver from the box and put it on a plate.

He has made up his mind and will not leave.

And this ingot of silver is the money for the proprietress to send wine and tobacco.

The proprietress looked at the ingot of silver and smiled wryly.

This is probably the first time she doesn't like money.

"From here, it's ten miles north. It is the residence of the mine owner here. ”

The proprietress pointed out the window and said.

"The mine owner?"

No wonder Liu Ruiying always felt a little strange.

It seems that the reason lies with the mine owner.

Since there are hard laborers in the mine, there must be masters.

Without a master, who can pay the wages of these laborers?

However, the proprietress told Liu Ruiying at this time that the mine owner must have her deep meaning.

Just wait for the moonlight to dissipate tonight, but Liu Ruiying has to pay a visit.

"The people who come to me to hide are small characters. The big people who really hide from big things are all in the mine owner's mansion. ”

The proprietress said.

"Is this mine owner rich?"

Liu Ruiying asked.

"At least all the prices in my store are set by him. And eight out of ten. ”

The proprietress said.

Liu Ruiying nodded.

It seems that this and the grocery stores, restaurants, and coffin shops on the surface have their own unspeakable secrets.

What's more, he is the only person here who can cool down with ice in the summer and blanch the wine with olive pits in the winter. ”

The proprietress continued.

"Then why are you telling me now?"

Liu Ruiying asked.

"Because I didn't know that you were a member of the Central Capital Investigation Division. Later I found out, and two people died. This is no longer what we can afford. If you don't want to go, you should go there. Otherwise, we will all follow you and die one by one. ”

The proprietress said.

Immediately stuck the unbladed knife that Liu Ruiying handed him earlier into the table.

With just a slight insertion, the entire blade of the knife did not pass the table.

Only one handle is left outside.

It's obviously a knife with no blade.

But in the hands of the proprietress , this table is like a tofu block.
