As for Lu Qian, he frowned all the way, and he kept thinking about a question in his mind. From the time he broke up with the mysterious old man who smoked dry cigarettes to the time he met Wu Lao and returned to the inn for treatment, it took less than three hours before and after.

If the gang of thieves could move the corpses so quickly in broad daylight, it shows that the other party has a meticulous layout, moves quickly, and is likely to use the secret passages hidden everywhere before.

Thinking of this, Lu Qian's heart secretly gave birth to an ominous premonition, which he had never felt since he set foot in the rivers and lakes.

When the mind is focused, people ignore everything around them, including their own mechanical movements. When Lu Qian raised his head again, everyone had already returned to the Jiang family's old shop. When the shopkeeper saw that they were back, he hurriedly squeezed out his fat body from the counter and came to greet them.

"Ji Zhutou, you have worked hard, what new clues do you have on this trip?"

The shopkeeper Jiang, who originally wanted to set up a close set, never thought that such an enthusiastic sentence could stab the hornet's nest, and after finishing speaking, he stood in place with a smile and waited for Ji Zhutou to reply.

"There's a fart clue!"

Ji Zhutou, who was already irritable in his heart, was like a pot of stew, and when he asked like this, he immediately ignited his own fried point, and immediately threw out a sentence with his head and face.

The group of catchers who followed behind him naturally understood the situation in their hearts, and when they saw that the shopkeeper Jiang was scolded for his dedication, they almost couldn't help laughing. But in the current atmosphere, if anyone who doesn't have long eyes dares to laugh stupidly, it must be dead and there is no place to bury.

The guy who was downstairs who was waiting for the guests to pour tea and water heard the shopkeeper being scolded, and quickly took a cup from his side to relieve the siege. Ji Zhutou, who was sitting at a table, poured a pot of good tea, and said respectfully: "Lord Catcher, you drink saliva first and go to get rid of the anger." ”

Na Ji Zhutou didn't even look at him, unceremoniously picked up the cup and drank it all, and then still squatted the cup on the table unwillingly.

He himself is a martial arts practitioner, and he naturally has a handful of strength in his hands, and this transparent teacup of thin porcelain and blue and white has already shown several dark cracks after he has done so.

From today onwards, two shifts will be on duty, and this inn will be closed day and night, and no one will be allowed to enter or leave at will until they are checked one by one. ”

Closure of shops and grounding. Ji Zhutou did this because he was angry, and secondly, because he considered that if there was no big action on this trip, he would not be able to explain to the prefect when he went back. Although I know that it is a bit excessive, this is the only way to do it now.

If you do what you say, it will be tantamount to cutting off my family's livelihood!"

When the shopkeeper Jiang heard this, he immediately panicked, hurriedly stepped forward and bowed down, begging bitterly.

"Hmph, does Shopkeeper Jiang deliberately not want me to find out about the headless murder that happened here? If so, then I think it is necessary to take you back to the Yamen. ”

The head of discipline that has made up his mind will definitely not change. Seeing that the shopkeeper Jiang was endlessly pestering himself, he coldly threatened him and scared him away.

"This ...... This ......"

The shopkeeper Jiang, who was speechless for a while, was really afraid. I had to wipe the tears from my face, and I didn't know what to do. Lu Qian, who couldn't stand it, walked closer, helped him up, and glared at Ji Zhutou with electric eyes.

"I made this decision in the spirit of being responsible for the case, you see that the headless murder happened in your store, so all the guests staying here naturally can't rule out suspicion, right?"

Being glared at by Lu Qian, Ji Zhutou only felt a chill down his spine, and his body shivered involuntarily. But the government said that it was to be strong to the end, and in order to show justice, he immediately found a seemingly logical reason to ask Jiang the shopkeeper.

"But ......"

Shopkeeper Jiang, who still had a glimmer of hope for this matter, wanted to try his best to defend himself, but he was forcibly interrupted by Ji Zhutou after only saying two words.

"It's nothing, now that time is pressing, I can't allow my mother-in-law to discuss it. Wang Yi and Deng Kun will stay here, and the rest will go back with me. ”

After arranging the division of labor, Ji Zhutou didn't have the heart to continue to stay here, so he got up and left with a group of catchers behind him. As soon as he came to the door, he turned to the two people left behind and added: "Oh, by the way, if there is a forced out, it will be dealt with as an accomplice to the murderer." ”

While saying this, his eyes were looking at Lu Qian. The meaning of this is tacitly understood by both of them. When this group of arresters was about to go away, Lu Qian comforted the shopkeeper Jiang and said: "Don't be too sad, as far as I know, there are several martial arts people who are also secretly investigating this matter, and I believe that the culprit will soon be caught and the crisis of your store will be solved." ”

The heartbroken shopkeeper Jiang knew that he was kind-hearted, but how easy was it to catch the "powerful ghost" who came and went? But no matter what, with Lu Qian's words, his heart was more or less relieved.

Just as the two of them gradually began to chat, a familiar voice came from the staircase: "Boss Lu, where have you been? Oh, why does my body hurt so much?"

Liu Datong, who had just come out of the room, was full of the investigation of the case in his heart, and he bumped into the swaying Cui Shiyuan without paying attention. When he came back to his senses and saw that it was this crazy ancestor, he was so frightened that he hurriedly covered the left side of his face that had not yet subsided and took a few steps back.

Cui Shiyuan saw that he was afraid of becoming like this, and he also had a question mark in his head, could it be that there was something dirty on his face that scared him? Thinking of this, he wiped a few handfuls back and forth with his hand, but except for touching the oil stains on the skin of his hand, there was nothing else.

Lu Qian saw that he was recovering like an ordinary person at the moment, and he was already overjoyed in his heart, and after a few simple words of explanation to the shopkeeper Jiang, he hurriedly came to Cui Shiyuan's side.

"I said Boss Lu, can you stop running around when you're fine, it's not peaceful here. Last night I bumped into the guy who pretended to be a ghost in the thatched house, and he fell for his plot without paying attention, and he has been asleep until now after coming back to tell you, and it is really useless to think that he has been practicing his skills here for more than ten years. ”

Lu Qian listened to the meaning of his words, and it seemed that he didn't know anything about what had happened since he fell unconscious. I wanted to explain the ins and outs of this for him, but I'm afraid that he has just recovered, and his state is still unstable, and it will be difficult to lose his mind once he receives too much information.

"Come, Shiyuan, you come to the house first and wait for me, don't move around at will, lest the poison spread. Later, I'll check your pulse and see how your body is doing. ”

"Then you can hurry up! remember to order two more meat buns for me, this night has pulled me out, and I am almost out of shape. ”

Cui Shiyuan said, threw a few copper coins to Lu Qian, and then turned around and entered the house in a dashing manner. The honest Liu Datong poked there like a stick, and he didn't dare to make a move for a long time, and Lu Qian, who was happy, had a bright face, leaving all the previous unpleasantness behind.
