Chapter Ninety-Eight: The Clues Are All Broken (Part II)
Dugu Jian and Youyi began to search He Laosi's house, they did not let go of every corner of the house, and all the places were searched, but except for the things that ordinary people have, there is nothing else here, and there are no secret rooms and secret compartments, it seems that there are really no clues.

The two of them rummaged through the bedroom again, still finding nothing. Just when they were about to give up, Dugu Jian smelled a faint smell of blood, although it was very light, but for him with deep internal strength, it was absolutely very clear, and there would be no mistake at all. At first, he thought it was the smell of blood from the fake He Laosi outside, but after sniffing it carefully, this smell of blood came from the bedroom, and it was close to them!
He searched everywhere for the source of the smell of blood, and finally found a dark red pool of dried blood on the ground next to the bed, which he really couldn't find if he didn't look closely. Dugu Jian was shocked, squatted down, and shouted with his finger at the bloodstains: "Miss Yang, there are blood stains here!" Yang Ying hurriedly walked over, and when she looked at it, it was indeed a big pool of blood! But they had already seen it under the bed, and there was nothing, so where did this pool of blood come from?
The two were puzzled, Yang Ying suddenly stood up: "Brother Dugu, I ......." Before she finished speaking, Dugu Jian's eyes lit up, and he saw the loosening of the brick under Yang Ying's feet! "Miss Yang! I understand!" Dugu Jian shouted loudly. Yang Ying was still confused, the Dugu Sword over there had already used a long sword to pry open the bricks on the ground!
Sure enough, under the floor was a wooden board more than one person long, and when the wooden board was opened, Yang Ying exclaimed in surprise: "Ah?" Dugu Jian put down the wooden board and looked down, inside was the real He Laosi's body, which was five or six points similar to the fake He Laosi outside. But at this moment, his face looked hideous, his death was extremely tragic, there were dozens of wounds on his body, and the blood had dyed the entire ground a dark red, as if it had grown on the ground in the first place. Looking at He Laosi, who had been dead for a long time, the two of them looked at each other, and they both felt shuddering, like a nightmare, more like they had a pair of sharp eyes behind them, staring at them in the dark, it was really terrifying.
Yang Ying sighed lightly and shook her head: "It turns out that the real He Laosi has already died, no wonder our every move is under the surveillance of the Five Color Sect, they have already calculated that we will come to look for He Laosi, arrange everything, and wait for us to take the bait." ”
Dugu Jian looked at He Laosi's corpse, and was also shocked and angry: "You are right, it seems that our whereabouts have already been exposed, it is estimated that from the moment we got off the boat, the Five Color Sect knew about it, and all this was expected by them." Yang Ying nodded and continued to carefully inspect He Laosi's body. When she saw He Laosi's clenched left hand, she couldn't help but be shocked, stretched out her hand and pointed there and said: "Brother Dugu, look at his left hand, it seems to be ......" Dugu Jian also noticed that after ordinary people die, their whole body will be loosened, and few can still clench their fists, but this He Laosi clenched his fists tightly, but he didn't know why?
Forcefully wrenched his fingers, only to see that there was nothing in his hand, only a square and vermilion "mouth" character written in blood on the palm of his hand. Dugu Jian was puzzled in his heart after seeing it: "It seems to be written with bloodstains, like a 'mouth' word." Yang Ying squatted down again and stared at his palm: "This should have been written by He Laosi before he died, I think he must have wanted to tell us some clues......
Both of them stared at the word "mouth" and began to meditate. Yang Ying's green silk fell on her shoulders, slowly swaying on her shoulders with her breathing, and the whole person looked very pretty. She looked solemn and asked, "Brother Dugu, is this a 'mouth' word?What does He Laosi want to express?What do you think this means?" Dugu Jian thought for a while, and when he heard Yang Ying's question, he boldly guessed: "Miss Yang, do you think this is likely to refer to a person's name?"
Yang Ying shook her head, a little confused: "Brother Dugu, if you think of it as a personal name, this 'mouth' character is too weird, right?" Dugu Jian analyzed it while drawing his fingers in the palm of his hand. Suddenly, he seemed to think of something: "No matter how you look at it, this 'mouth' word must be a clue that He Laosi wanted to leave us before he died, so maybe ......" Yang Ying also understood at once: "Yes, it is very likely that she was too late before she died, and only wrote down part of this word." But who would he want to write about?" Yang Ying looked up at Dugu Jian and thought of a name: "Brother Dugu, do you think it is possible that it is the shopkeeper Lu of Balizhuang Inn?"
Dugu Jian thought about it carefully, the various strange and abnormal behaviors of the shopkeeper Lu in the past two days were indeed different from others, nodded and said: "Well, in this way, I think it should be very likely to be this shopkeeper Lu!" Yang Ying also thought hard for a while, and said in a deep voice: "Yes, from the first time we saw this shopkeeper Lu, he was all kinds of secretive and refused to cooperate, he was indeed very suspicious." But he's been rambling, so how can we force him to tell the truth?"
The two of them thought for a while, but they couldn't think of a better way. Dugu Jian turned his heart sideways: "Miss Yang, I can't care so much now, I think it's better to find this shopkeeper Lu first, and then I may not be able to come up with a way to make him speak!" Yang Ying nodded: "It seems that it has to be like this." ”
The wind in the street had gradually stopped, and all that remained was the noise of the people who came out again, mixed with the remaining gusts of breeze, and drifted out for a long time. The sun in the sky is not so dazzling, and the sunlight that shines down makes people feel a faint warmth. The two of them went out of the city again, and turned back to the inn in Balizhuang again, and as soon as they entered the lobby, they saw that the shopkeeper Lu, who was always standing behind the counter, was no longer there.
Yang Ying hurriedly stopped the little guy he had seen before who was busy and asked him: "Little Er, where are you shopkeepers?" The little guy still remembered them, he was frightened by them at first, his face was full of panic, and he gradually calmed down when Yang Ying asked. He shook his head at them helplessly: "The shopkeeper went out early this morning, it's been several hours, and he hasn't come back yet......" Yang Ying suddenly felt that something was wrong, and asked in a questioning tone: "Did he go out?" She waved her hand and let the little guy go.
Dugu Jian and Yang Ying glanced at each other, and suddenly had a very bad premonition. Dugu Jian frowned: "Could it be ......" Yang Ying silently calculated in her heart, looked into the distance with sharp and sharp eyes, and analyzed to Dugu Jian: "Brother Dugu, the shopkeeper Lu has also disappeared, it seems that nine out of ten of them are the Five Colors Sect, they are now taking the lead everywhere, but we are passive everywhere." Dugu Jian gritted his teeth and said: "No, we have to take the lead, now hurry up and look around, Shopkeeper Lu is the only clue we have now." Yang Ying nodded, and the two walked out of the inn.
