Chapter 4: The Death of the Shopkeeper
It's getting late.
Qi Yun asked people to take the room, moved around the room for a while, tasted the changes in his body again, and after a while, he lay down and fell asleep.
One night without dreams, early the next morning.
Bang, bang, bang!
As the sky dawned, there was a sharp knock on the door of the room.
Qi Yun opened his eyes sharply and looked out the door.
"Who?"
"Second master, something happened, the shopkeeper of Fuyuan Gambling House died. ”
Outside the door, Ah Da's voice was heard.
Qi Yun was shocked, got out of bed and opened the door.
Ah Da and Ah Er looked ugly and walked in.
"What the hell is going on?"
"The body of the shopkeeper was found, and the death of the old man Li's family is exactly the same, rotten and stinky, giving birth to maggots, as if it has been dead for a few months, the stench is from last night when it suddenly came out, when the people in the gambling house thought it was the corpse of a small animal and did not care, this morning when a maid went to call the shopkeeper He, only to find that he was dead. ”
Ah Da said.
"What?"
Qi Yun immediately thought of the bottle of demon blood.
Is it really because of this thing?
He immediately got dressed and said, "Take me to see it." ”
Ah Da and Ah Er didn't talk nonsense, and rushed outside with Qi Yun.
In the courtyard, dozens of elite personnel of the Blue Dragon Gang gathered, each with fierce eyes and burly bodies, and when they saw Qi Yun coming, they immediately bowed and saluted.
"Second master is early!"
"Okay, come with me"
Qi Yun opened his mouth and shouted.
Regardless of whether it is a demon or not, Fuyuan Gambling House is the field of their Qinglong Gang, the eldest brother is not there, and he is also the second-in-command no matter what he says, so he must not back down at this time.
Besides, if it's really a demon, then this demon will definitely come back to find him.
Because the bottle of demon blood was brought back by himself.
First Master Li's family was killed, and then he was the shopkeeper, both of whom had been in contact with the bottle of demon blood.
So it's easy to guess that the cause of their death was that thing.
Without exception, the next goal is yourself.
He needed to see if he could find any useful information.
Qi Yun stepped onto the yellow horse and rushed towards the Fuyuan Gambling House with a wave of elite personnel of the Blue Dragon Gang.
Early in the morning, there weren't many people on the streets.
After a short time, they rushed to the Fuyuan Gambling House.
The gamblers in the entire gambling hall were all pinching their noses, watching outside, and when they saw a large number of people from the Blue Dragon Gang arriving, they immediately hurriedly dispersed.
When a thug from Fuyuan Gambling House saw Qi Yun bringing people over, he immediately rushed over, restrained the horse for Qi Yun, and said, "Second Master, you have finally arrived." ”
Qi Yun turned over and dismounted, and walked towards the inside of the gambling house.
Ah Da and Ah Er followed closely with a group of people.
As soon as I walked through the front hall, I could smell a stench of surging air, like some rat rotting on a summer day, and the buzzing and screeching of flies.
In the inner hall, several corpses were soon seen.
In addition to the shopkeeper He, there were two thugs, like him, who also died miserably, although they had been covered with white cloth, they were still surrounded by flies, and the stench was stinking.
Ah Da lifted the white cloth on the face of the shopkeeper He.
Qi Yun saw the face of the shopkeeper He clearly for the first time, the whole face seemed to melt, the left cheek had begun to rot, twisted and twisted, and it was not in shape, and he could vaguely see the fear fixed on his face, as if he had seen something extremely terrible.
In addition to him, the white cloth on the other two people was also lifted, and the residual expressions were almost the same as those of Shopkeeper He.
"Who found the body?"
Qi Yun asked in a low voice.
"Back to the second master, it's a slave. ”
A little maid's face turned pale and said in a panic.
Qi Yun looked at her and said, "Did you hear any movement last night?"
"Movement?"
The little maid thought for a moment and said in a trembling voice: "It seems... It seems that last night, I heard a cry similar to that of a baby. ”
"Huh?"
Qi Yun's eyes narrowed, and he said, "Where did it come from?"
"It was near the shopkeeper's room, but it was getting late, and I don't know if I heard it wrong, the sound was very short, and it quickly disappeared. ”
The little maid said.
"Are there any other anomalies?"
"I don't know, I didn't come out last night. ”
The little maid panicked.
"Who was on duty last night?"
Qi Yun asked in a low voice.
"Back to the second master, it is me and Ah Hu on duty. ”
A thug next to him hurriedly said in a trembling voice.
"Did you find anything unusual?"
Qi Yun stared at them.
"We've been watching the show and haven't come out of it. ”
The thug said.
Qi Yun frowned, observed for a while, and then searched around the room of Shopkeeper He and the two thugs, but unfortunately found everything, tables, chairs, benches, and all kinds of things, all neat.
A foul smell rushed in, and he couldn't help but feel upset and depressed.
A series of strange things have happened, with his current strength, can he protect himself?
"Second master, Zhao Zhutou is here. ”
Ah Da walked over and bowed.
"Hmm. ”
Qi Yun nodded, turned around and walked out the door.
Although the affairs of the Qinglong Gang rarely find the official mansion, this gambling house is located in the downtown area, and if such a big thing happens, it will definitely not be able to hide it from the official mansion.
And even if the government doesn't come, he is ready to go to the government to understand the situation.
Zhao Guang walked over from the front hall with a group of more than a dozen people in black clothes.
The black-clothed catchers behind him all had sad faces, covered their noses, and bursts of nausea kept coming.
This terrible thing happened one after another, and they were now almost psychologically affected by this taste.
Every time the corpse was disposed of, they were nauseous and couldn't eat for days, and even if they wanted to, they only ate some vegetables and the like.
I didn't expect to finish dealing with the affairs of Master Li's house yesterday, and today the Qinglong Gang actually had an accident.
There is also a little bit of fear in the hearts of these fast catchers.
"Zhao Zhutou. ”
Qi Yun greeted him.
"Second master, did you find anything?"
Zhao Guangyi came up and asked.
Qi Yun shook his head and said, "Yesterday at Master Li's house, did Zhao Zhutou find something. ”
"Nothing. ”
Zhao Guang said boredly.
"Zhao Zhutou, can you take a step to speak?"
"Good. ”
Zhao Guang nodded.
The two of them came to a garden in the back hall.
"How much does Zhao Zhutou know about demons and ghosts?"
Qi Yun asked straight to the point.
He had only been in this world for about a month, and his inherited memories were not perfect, so he was vague about many things, and he never thought that there would be such a thing as a demon.
"The second master is suspected of being done by demons?"
Zhao Guang's face changed.
As soon as the words came out, a pressure surged in his heart.
In fact, he had long suspected it, but he just didn't want to think about it that way.
After all, there have been no demons after living peacefully for so many years, why have they appeared frequently in recent months.
He prefers that it is a vendetta of some ordinary Jianghu people.
Because in this way, they have some ability to deal with it, and no matter how powerful the Jianghu people are, they can't fight the government.
But if it's really a demon, who can deal with it?
What to do?
"I've never seen demons and ghosts, and although I've heard a lot of legends before, most of them are based on false rumors, and no one has really seen them, or rather, those who have really seen them are dead. ”
Zhao Guang shook his head and said.
"Does the Lu Governor know?"
Qi Yun asked.
"I didn't ask about this, but I don't know, and he probably won't know, he has only been in office for the last two years. ”
Zhao Guang said: "By the way, second master, a group of strangers have come to the city recently, do you know? I see that they are dressed extraordinary, I am afraid they are not ordinary people, and they are seriously suspicious." ”
