Chapter Ninety-Six: The Truth Is Like a Mystery (Part II)
Yang Ying asked: "If the shopkeeper Lu and the shopkeeper bite to death, just don't say it, how do we know which room they live in?" He Laosi smiled innocently: "Don't worry, the helper has already found out everything from my friend's mouth, that Zhang Shaoxia lived opposite my friend that night, in the room on the east side of the right hand side of the stairs on the second floor of the inn, I think the helper should not alarm the innkeeper and the shopkeeper this time, go up directly to find it to avoid more trouble."

After listening to He Laosi's suggestion, Yang Ying nodded, feeling that it was extremely appropriate, and said to He Laosi again: "Okay, let's go to the inn again." If you have any new news here, come and tell me quickly!" He Laosi hurriedly bowed down and agreed. Dugu Jian and Yang Ying turned around and went out the door, heading towards the Balizhuang Inn again.
The two did not speak all the way through, but hurried away. When she was about to arrive, Yang Ying opened her mouth and asked: "Brother Dugu, I still think that this matter is full of strangeness, why did the shopkeeper Lu and the shopkeeper of the inn say that they don't know, and they haven't seen the Zhang family brothers and sisters? I think it's too suspicious, they must have something to hide." You say, if we want to investigate, who should we start with?"
Dugu Jian pondered for a long time, and said firmly: "I think although they are all weird, but that shopkeeper should be more suspicious, and he is just a runaway, he must not be as knowledgeable as the shopkeeper, if you start with him, it may be a lot easier." Yang Ying agreed: "I also think so, just now this little second is a little distracted, insincere, more panicked than the shopkeeper, he must have something not said, it is appropriate to start the investigation from him." Brother Dugu, if you think of any clues, you must tell me immediately!"
The two hurried all the way and came to the Balizhuang Inn again. At this time, the inn was surrounded by the crowd and was three floors inside and three floors outside, and everyone was also talking about it, sighing incessantly, and they didn't know what was going on. Dugu Jian and Yang Ying also felt very strange when they looked at the enclosed inn. Separated from the crowd and squeezed in, I saw a person lying at the entrance of the lobby of the inn, and when I looked closely, it was the shopkeeper! Listening to the words of the people, I realized that he had died violently, and his body was lying on the ground so stiffly, lifeless. Next to him stood the shopkeeper Lu of the inn and the servant in another shop, their faces were pale, as if they were frightened by something.
Dugu Jian looked at this scene, walked up and grabbed the shopkeeper Lu, and asked in a deep voice: "Shopkeeper Lu, how did the shopkeeper die?" The shopkeeper Lu was still a little shocked, not only his face was pale, but his lips were also a little bruised: "I, I don't know, this guy has always been very strong, why, how can he die if he is good, good?" Seeing that his expression was not fake, but also greatly frightened, he did not continue to ask, but turned around and came to the dead shopkeeper, reached out to probe his snort, pressed his chest and limbs, and then inspected his various tendons and acupoints.
Yang Ying saw his appearance, and also lowered his body: "How about Brother Dugu, did you find anything?" Dugu Jian looked at the crowd around him and shook his head: "No, looking at his appearance, he didn't die of poisoning, and there were no external injuries on his body, and I didn't find any internal injuries when I used my true qi to investigate, this is really too strange, is it really sudden death?" Yang Ying looked up at the shopkeeper Lu, the two looked at each other, and the eyes of the shopkeeper Lu hurriedly dodged away, not daring to look at it again. Yang Ying stood up and walked to him, with a fierce expression: "Shopkeeper Lu, you really don't know how Xiao Er died?"
Shopkeeper Lu shook his head again and again: "IāI really don't know." "Where will Yang Ying let him go?" and continued to ask step by step: "Okay, let me ask you again, someone told me that he clearly saw a pair of brothers and sisters staying at your inn in the evening three days ago, but you said no, do you really not remember or are you lying?" I really don't know, so please don't, don't ask again. He sat on the ground, trembling and unable to utter a word.
Seeing his appearance, Dugu Jian and Yang Ying knew that it would be difficult to get any more words out of his mouth for a while, so they turned their heads to look at the other guy. The little guy was also so frightened at this time that he was completely bloodless, and he trembled, and when he saw that both of them were looking at him, he stammered: "Little Er, Little Second Brother, he, he died suddenly, suddenly, suddenly......"
Yang Ying didn't give him a chance to think, and continued to shout loudly: "Then how did he die?" The little guy was so frightened that he almost knelt down when he was yelled at like this, and replied in a trembling voice: "I, I really don't, I don't know, he's so decent, he's dead......" The witnesses on the side also spoke: "I said girl, what he said is the truth, we were eating next to us just now, this little two just brought us food, just turned around, and fell straight down." At first, they thought he had accidentally fallen, but then everyone found out that he was dead, this big living person, one moment he was still talking to you with a smile, and the next moment he was gone, alas!"
"yes, yes, what do you call it, we can all encounter this kind of thing at a meal, I really can't say it. ā
"Who's to say it's not? It's really bad luck to encounter such a thing!" ......
The people on the side were talking nonsense, Dugu Jian and Yang Ying saw this situation, and saw the shopkeeper Lu and the little guy lost their souls, and it was impossible to say anything useful, and they had no way to find useful clues, so they had to push aside the crowd and walk out.
Yang Ying turned around and looked at it, and sighed faintly: "There was such a little clue just now, but it ......was broken again" Dugu Jian's expression was a little solemn, with three points of anxiety, after they got He Laosi's affirmative reply, and combined with what they had seen and heard in the past two days, it was speculated that the shopkeeper was very likely to know something, but unfortunately it was still a step late, this little two died for no reason, and the cause of death was very strange, so they couldn't believe that it was really a violent death. Dugu Jian shook his head, and suddenly thought of He Laosi saying that Zhang Rumeng had lived in the room on the second floor of the inn, and hope was rekindled in his heart: "Miss Yang, let's go to the second floor to look for it first, and see if Brother Zhang and Lin'er have left any clues." Yang Ying nodded in agreement, and the two separated the crowd and entered the inn again. But this time, they didn't pay attention to the situation of the dead Xiao Er, but went directly to the second floor, and came to the door on the east side of the right hand side of the stairs.
