Chapter Seventy-Five: Compromise
"How do you know?" Not only is the ghost ugly, even Zero feels incredible, does this old man watch himself commit murder? Or is there any trace on his body that has not been cleaned up for him to see? But the ghost ugly does not think that Feng Lun can see it, if Zero has not found it, then there should be no trace on his body.
"Your Excellency the Ghost Ugly, please answer the question of the old man, the old man has been dragging on for you for so long, don't you even have the right to know?" Feng Lun didn't squint, just stared at the ghost ugly with a serious face, but his words surprised the ghost ugly even more, the meaning of these words is very obvious, Feng Lun not only knew what he did, but also spent so much time with Lou Ke without letting the ghost ugly know, what is the origin of this old man?
Subconsciously, the ghost ugly wanted Zero to probe the bottom of this called Feng Lun, but Zero did not respond, after expressing surprise, Zero fell into a deep sleep, and consuming a lot of mental power in a short period of time is not a small burden for Zero and the ghost ugly, in order to control those guards, even the ghost ugly felt tired after finishing it, not to mention the existence of zero relying on the ghost and ugly consciousness, which was even more exhausted.
"Lord Feng Lun, what are you talking about, the ghost ugly doesn't understand at all. "The ghost doesn't dare to admit it directly, who knows what kind of backhand the little old man on the other side is waiting for him, let's test it first.
Feng Lun couldn't help but have a more gloomy look on his face when he heard this, "Lord Ugly, I don't believe that you didn't make a move, your sudden departure from the table will naturally not be as simple as going to the convenience, and you look at Lou Kes after you come back, the servant who went and returned seems to have lost your trace, and more importantly, the ring on your hand should not be yours, right? Although you only brought one, the old man just knew the appearance of this ring, and the person you killed should be the person from the temple." ”
Ghost Chou looked at the ring on his hand, and couldn't help but smile bitterly, he only remembered to clean up the blood stains on his body, but he didn't expect that he directly kept the ring of the temple envoy directly on his hand for convenience, "I didn't expect the problem to be here." ”
With a smile, the ghost took off the ring on his finger, and looked at it himself, but no matter how he looked at it, he felt that it was a ring that was not unusual, if Feng Lun suspected that he had killed someone because he saw it, it would be too far-fetched, this kind of ordinary ring can be obtained from many places, such as picking it up, or snatching it, or stealing it, it is possible, but why does Feng Lun have to say that it was obtained by killing people by ghost ugly?
"This is a space ring made by the secret room of the temple in order to distinguish the identity, most of the treasures that seem to be worth a lot of money will be placed in it, but no one cares about the ring itself, because it is really rare to distinguish it in appearance, but the old man knows this thing, and once he brings this ring, people who have not completed the secret task are basically unable to get rid of this ring, you bring it now, if you encounter a more advanced sacrifice in the temple, it will inevitably be immediately exposed. Feng Lun watched the ghost ugly constantly playing with the ring, his face had returned to calm, and he patiently explained.
"Lord Feng Lun, after thinking about it, I still don't understand why you are delaying time, it doesn't seem to be good for you, and it doesn't seem to be a good thing for you to take down a handle like me. The ghost's hoarse and low voice sounded, and several soldiers of the Tenth Guards Regiment behind the two people began to slowly surround them, these soldiers looked fierce, murderous, and faintly encircled, Feng Lun was in it, but there was no fear on his face, which made several soldiers a little dumbfounded, usually the other party was either frightened and begged for mercy or trembled, but this old man ...... I didn't take them seriously at all!
The ghost ugly just wanted to scare and scare Feng Lun, but Feng Lun was unmoved, but he couldn't get off the stage, looking at the soldiers in front of him looking at him with blank eyes, the ghost ugly finally sighed and waved his hand to let these people disperse the vigilance.
"Lord Feng Lun is really courageous, and he admires the ghosts, and of course I hope that Lord Feng Lun can solve the doubts of the younger generation. Since the hard one can't be good, then the ghost ugly can only choose to be soft, he doesn't know why Feng Lun has so much courage, but he knows that even if he puts the knife on the neck of the rickety old man in front of him, I'm afraid he won't get any answer, although this person has no strength, but his will is firm, far beyond ordinary people, this should not be an ordinary old man can have, for Feng Lun, the curiosity of the ghost and ugliness was hooked.
"Lord Ghost and Ugly don't have to worry about this matter, and the old man has no intention of using this matter as a bargaining chip, Loux is secretly meeting the secret envoy of the Temple, and now that the secret envoy has died for no reason, the biggest headache should be him, not Lord Ghost and Ugly. Feng Lun walked forward, and the ghost ugly followed, but it was obvious that Feng Lun didn't want to say it, and the ghost ugly had no choice but to put the ring away, and then asked his subordinates to send Feng Lun to the carriage back to the post house.
And when the two returned to the inn, Lou Kes, who came back to his senses, also came to his bedroom, several temple guards saw him come back and immediately let open the door, Lou Kes pushed the door in, and went straight to the secret room mechanism, but after he entered the secret room, he saw a headless corpse sitting quietly on a chair, and the head was in the corner of the secret room, because the corpse was facing the entrance of the secret room, Lou Kes had not paid attention at first, and when he stood still out of breath, his body was shaken by the bloody scene in front of him, and he fell down the steps directly when he couldn't stand still, followed by a miserable scream。
Because of this scream, the guards at the gate also heard the abnormality, and when several people arrived, they were all stunned by the scene in front of them.
"What's going on, how did you get killed?" Loux stood up tremblingly, he fell down the steps and his face was covered with blood, but at this time he didn't care about his injuries, this is the secret room, there are people guarding outside, this person can't have killed himself, there are no blades in the secret room, this is extremely weird.
"This ...... This...... Since you left, we have been staying here, no one has come, this ......" a man in black stammered and couldn't explain why, the whole person became flustered, what was going on in the secret room, they didn't know, the body was still warm, obviously just died, but no matter any of the guards said that they didn't see anyone.
Lou Kes immediately thought of the ghost ugly after listening, only the ghost ugly left the table at that time, and he also sent someone to follow him, but soon his subordinates lost the trace of the ghost ugly, and the subordinate even mobilized other subordinates to look for it, but no one found it, this was reported by the subordinate after talking to Feng Lun, at that time Lou Ke thought that the ghost ugly was out of the lord's mansion, but now it seems that he came to his bedroom, not only found the mechanism of the secret room, but also quietly killed the temple envoy in the secret room.
But how did the ghost do it? The guards were always on guard at the door, the windows were in the same direction as the door, how did the ghost get in, and the most important thing was that no one saw the ghost ugly, whether it was a subordinate or a guard, no one saw the ghost appear near his bedroom, and no one even saw him in the lord's mansion, there was no evidence, and suspicion was just suspicion, and he couldn't move the other party at all.
"The body was moved, and it was here when the adult died, but the other party deliberately placed it on a chair. The guards, who had no idea for a while, began to check the layout of the secret room, and a large pool of blood and dragging marks on the ground proved that the murderer had contact with the deceased, and the blood flowed so much, and the corpse had to sit on the stool, and the blood stains would inevitably stain the murderer's body......
Isn't the murderer a ghost?
When this idea appeared, Lou Ke suddenly felt that all the sweat and hairs on his body were opened, and the sweat was like rain, but his whole body was cold, and even his face became extremely pale, people are people from the temple, naturally they will not die for no reason, and now Lou X does not have any evidence to prove who killed the secret envoy, in this way, this black cauldron will inevitably make Lou X back!
Thinking of this result, a hint of ferocity flashed on Loux's face, but his ferocity disappeared in a flash, and his face returned to normal.
"You look first, I'm going to mobilize people, close the small city, and conduct a thorough investigation from house to house, and we must find out the murderer!" After saying that, Lou Ke turned around and left the secret room, he did mobilize his private army, but this private army did not go out immediately but all gathered quietly at the door of Lou Kes's secret room, still holding firewood in their hands.
A trace of struggle flashed on Loux's face, but compared with the results, that trace of hesitation disappeared immediately, waving his hand slightly, the private army slowly opened the door and put the firewood in his hand into the bedroom, and then Loux ordered the fire, since the secret envoy of the temple died, then it was best for his subordinates to die with him, if the temple asked, he said that he did not see the secret envoy, the purpose of the temple's trip could not see the light, even if he wanted him to carry the black cauldron, there must be evidence, otherwise, he would poke this matter to the top, this kind of scandal is also a big trouble for the temple。
Since they can't see the light, then burn all the fires, and order the private soldiers to shout for fire, but they just run back and forth in front of the door, and only this one has a secret room in their bedroom, and then dispose of the corpse casually after it is burned, everything can cover up the past, but thinking of some treasures in his house, Loux still feels a little pity.
The sudden appearance of the billowing smoke in the City Lord's Mansion naturally attracted attention, but until they heard the people inside shouting for fire, the fire had not been small, and at the door of the post house, Feng Lun and the ghost ugly looked at each other and smiled, they knew that Lou Ke was ready to compromise.
