Chapter Eighty-Nine: Life Is Like a Mustard (1)
The window of Shen Guhong's house was facing the east, and the Desert Star was also one of the largest buildings in the city, except for the Moon God Temple and the City Lord's Mansion, there was no building that could compare to it. When the first rays of sunlight shone on the earth, Shen Guhong's room was already bright.
Mi Fang, who woke up from her sleep, saw the quilt on her body, and her face couldn't help but flush slightly, but in an instant, more stubbornness flashed in her eyes.
Shen Guhong sat cross-legged on the bed, cultivating diligently all night, his internal strength was a lot stronger, but he was already on the edge of the bottleneck, and the entry would not be too big, only by accumulating over time, or encountering a miracle, after the bottleneck was broken, could he go to the next level.
"Wake up!" Although his eyes were closed, Mi Fang's every move could not be hidden from him.
Mi Fang said: "I was waiting for you to come back last night, but I didn't expect to fall asleep!"
"Running around in the desert for so long, anyone will be sleepy, I just sit like this, and they all fall asleep!" Shen Guhong said, but he was shocked, when he first entered the room last night, he immediately felt the desire to sleep. It was only when the temperature was too low and Mi Fang took up the quilt that he practiced, but Rao was like this, and the two weeks when the true qi began to run were also drowsy, and it wasn't until the third week that he really woke up, which was really a strange thing that had never happened before.
"Maybe yes, I really slept the best last night!" Mi Fang stretched, only feeling a hundred times more energetic, but at this time, she looked at Shen Guhong, hesitated for a moment, and asked, "Where did you drink last night?"
Shen Guhong opened his eyes and said, "What are you asking for?"
"I ······" Mi Fang really wanted to say those words, but no matter what, she couldn't open her mouth, and after a long time, her face turned red.
"She doesn't drink, we just talked last night!" Shen Guhong didn't know why he said this, but he blurted out anyway.
When Mi Fang heard this, a flash of joy flashed on her face, but then she became cold again, and said, "Then what do you want to do?"
Shen Guhong was stunned for a moment, and his mind was buzzing. But at this moment, a scream came from outside, and the entire inn was boiling.
Shen Guhong and Mi Fang glanced at each other and walked out of the room together, and then Yingting, Tie Feng, Xiao Rin, Xiao Sese and others all left the room one by one.
"What's wrong?" Xiao Rin looked at Shen Guhong and asked.
Shen Guhong said: "The voice came from downstairs, you can only know when you look at it!"
Xiao Rin smiled: "It's really a coincidence, I'm just a person who likes to watch the fun!"
Shen Guhong just smiled, and several people walked down together, and when she passed Qinghan's room, her room was still closed, obviously she was not a person who liked to watch the excitement.
The six of them went down to the second floor, only to see a group of people gathered together, and Shen Guhong asked one of the onlookers, "Brother Tai, what's going on here?"
The man glanced at Shen Guhong and said, "Dead, not only that, after this person died, he leaned on the door of the fairy of Baihua Pavilion, and when he got up in the morning, the moment he opened the door of the house, the corpse fell into the fairy's house, and the fairy jumped!"
Shen Guhong, these people in the rivers and lakes, who have a few lives in their hands, under normal circumstances, they would not be too surprised to see a dead person, but if it is really as this person said, it will really frighten people.
"Besides, there was not just one person who died, and there were several people who died on the other side of the latrine. The people from 940 to 60 are all dead!" the man added.
Shen Guhong was shocked, it was very strange that so many people died at once in this inn.
"Get out of the way, the people from the City Lord's Mansion are investigating the case!" a voice came, but a group of people walked into the Desert Star, but they were not wearing the black and white clothes worn by ordinary people in the city, but all the armor, from a distance, it was quite a bit of the momentum of the army on the battlefield. In fact, they are the soldiers who maintain law and order in this Feiyun City. Feiyun City is located in the center of the desert, it is a resting place for merchants and travelers, where there are people, there will naturally be trouble, and they are responsible for the safety of the people in the city. In addition, this desert is not a peaceful place, and there are many great thieves in it, and these soldiers of the city lord's mansion have to resist the bandits.
"It's Lord Meng Zhe who has arrived!" the old shopkeeper of the inn greeted him, with a smile on his face, as if those people had not died in the desert star.
Meng Zhe is not only the commander of the soldiers of the City Lord's Mansion, but also the son of the City Lord Meng Ke, and in this place, his status is naturally transcendent.
"You inns run by people from the Central Plains, why do you always have accidents? I have long advised my father not to allow you to build an inn in the city, but unfortunately my father did not listen, hmph, there have been accidents at both ends in the past three days, but I have never seen Andla's vampire, this time I heard that there are many people who have died, could it be that he does not plan to meet me?" But his eyebrows are extremely thick, and his eyes are as sharp as a falcon, and he is not angry.
This old man's name is Fu San, he is just the shopkeeper of the Desert Star, managing the daily affairs in the inn, and the real boss of the Desert Star is Andra. On the outside, Andra is not well-known, but in the desert, Andra is a name that is feared by the bandits of the desert.
Andra is the person in this Feiyun City, he loves money like his life, as long as he can make money, whether it is big money or small money, he will not let it go. His desert star spreads all over the desert, and legend has it that he has become rich, but his love for money is growing stronger.
Although he is a native of Feiyun City, the guys in his inn have never used people from Feiyun City, maybe the people from the Western Regions are all from the Central Plains, not only that, but the architectural style of his inn is also the Central Plains style, not to mention the furnishings inside.
In the eyes of the locals of Feiyun City, the merchants or travelers who came here from the Central Plains were all villains who forgot their righteousness, and they despised the Central Plains people. Because of this, the people of Feiyun City did not recognize Andra as a person from Feiyun City, and regarded him as a profit-seeing businessman in the Central Plains, and called him a vampire.
Andra didn't care what others thought of him, as long as he had money to earn. There are many people under him, many of them are masters, and it is not easy for the people of the Feiyun City City Lord's Mansion to resist, because while the people in Feiyun City hate him, they are also very afraid of him.
"Where is he, Lord, how can we who are slaves know? But Lord Meng Mengzhe, the murder case of this inn will be handed over to you for investigation, I hope to investigate it quickly, give you an explanation, we still have to open the door to do business!" Fu San's words were a little arrogant, and his expression faded.
Meng Zhe snorted coldly and said lightly: "Groveling slave!"
Fu San doesn't care, for them, they can make money.
Meng Zhe drove the people gathered in the corridor away, walked up with a few guards, and called the disciple of the Hundred Flowers Pavilion who was the first to find the corpse and asked, "Please also ask the girl to explain the situation again, so that I can judge some things later!"
The woman in the Hundred Flowers Pavilion was named Lin Yan, and she only heard her say at the moment: "My lord, when I get up today, I open the door, and he rolls in, I really don't know what's going on!"
Meng Zhe frowned and said, "If the other people's rooms don't go, why do you come here alone?"
Lin Yan replied: "If you go back to the adult, this person lives next door to me!"
Meng Zhe said: "Could it be that you went to his house to commit murder, and he was not dead at that time, and chased you to your door, and in a hurry, you closed the door, and he happened to die outside the door at that time? ”
When Lin Yan heard this, her face turned pale. Tsing Yi said lightly at this time: "Lord Meng Zhe originally handled the case like this, which is an eye-opener for Zaixia!"
"Who is this girl? Are you doubting me?" Meng Zhe said as he looked at Tsing Yi.
Tsing Yi said: "First of all, I want to ask my lord, why did Lin Yan go to this person's room to kill someone? Second, if the real adult said that this person was chased out, then there will definitely be a sound, why didn't the people around him find out? Besides, who can calculate for sure that he can just die by the door? Finally, the adult does not ask when and how the person died. But here is a random conviction, isn't this an eye-opener?"
Meng Zhe's eyes flashed slightly, smiled softly, and said, "I'm just assuming, it's not that this Lin girl is the murderer. ”
Lin Yan stood next to Tsing Yi and didn't dare to say another word, for fear that he would accidentally say the wrong thing again.
"My lord, judging from the time of death, it should be around the end of the hour! As for the cause of death, it is impossible to find out at the moment. The autopsy said.
"Whoever wasn't in the room last night, stand up one by one!" Meng Zhe's gaze swept over everyone.
Shen Guhong said in his heart: "When I came back last night, it was in Zishi, could it be that this person died not long after? If so, why didn't I notice any sound." His eyes flashed at that moment, and he remembered that after entering the house last night, he had been practicing for a short time, but he was drowsy. At that time, I didn't even know what I was doing, so I didn't want to say that I was going to listen to the sound of the floor from the other floor. But if there is really a loud noise, it should not be able to hide from him, after all, he is awake.
"Is there no one?" Munger's voice rang out, but no one answered. At this time, the people who had gone to the latrine also returned.
"My lord, there are fifteen corpses here!" reported the returnee.
"Fifteen corpses, the person who reported the crime said that twenty people died, except for one person by this door, which means that four people died in their own rooms?" Meng Zhe looked at Fu San and said.
Fu San nodded: "Your Excellency is wise!"
Meng Zhe frowned slightly, and led the person to another room. The man was lying on the table, and his death was ugly.
Meng Zhe ordered someone to let him go, only to see that his eyes were still open, and there was no scar on his body, such a strange way of death was a bit incredible.
"He also died around the time of his son, and the cause of death is unknown!" the autopsy concluded.
Meng Zhe said: "Next room!"
