Chapter 62 Eleven Human Lives
[Ran^Text^Library] It was already past lunchtime, and Luo Qiushui and the others felt more and more hungry.
"Let's go out and look for it, if it doesn't work, report to the official!" Chunhua couldn't help but wipe the beads of sweat from her forehead.
"I think it's better to find something to eat first!" Lei Laohu wiped his sweat and poured a cup of tea, "This pony, don't make any trouble!"
Luo Qiushui slowly sat down in front of the table and said, "Let's take a break, get some food first, and after eating, we will discuss the matter of finding someone." ”
These people were indeed hungry, and the dishes on a large table were eaten cleanly, Lei Laohu sat down next to the table very comfortably, and said while picking his teeth with a toothpick: "In a while, I will go to the south of the city with Qiuyue as a group, and you two will go to the east of the city to find it." ”
"That's fine. "Luo Qiu waterway.
While they were deliberating, there was a knock at the door.
"Who? We just eat, aren't we here to deliver tea?" said Lei Laohu, and walked to open the door.
Ma Ruyu looked at Lei Laohu with a smile on his face and said, "I'm sorry, I didn't bring tea with me." ”
Lei Laohu's face was shocked, and then he laughed: "My uncle! You are back! You said where you ran away, let's have a good meal!"
Hearing Ma Ruyu's voice, the people in the house couldn't help but come over to take a look, Ma Ruyu blushed and said: "My flute is gone, so I ran to the dock to look for it, but I didn't know the way, and then I ran away on the street." I'm sorry to make everyone worry about me!"
Luo Qiushui smiled faintly: "It's okay, it's good if you can come back!"
As he said this, he brought the bamboo flute on the table and said with a smile: "Look, your flute is here!"
Ma Ruyu took the bamboo flute very happily, took a closer look, and said with a smile: "It's really my flute, where did you pick it up?"
"It's right in the yard. Luo Qiushui said with a smile.
"Oh my God! I really didn't expect it to fall in the yard, alas, it's all this flute, and I'm looking for it hard!" Ma Ruyu said this, and glanced at everyone apologetically, "I'm really embarrassed that everyone cares so much." ”
"It's okay, we're all friends, and we should take care of each other!" said Lei Laohu.
At this time, suddenly there was a frightened shout in the courtyard, Luo Qiushui hurriedly rushed out, but saw the shopkeeper's face frightened, he was like a ghost in broad daylight!
Luo Qiushui hurriedly took the hand of the shopkeeper and asked very calmly, "Don't panic, what's going on?"
"Dead people, a lot of dead people!" said the shopkeeper, gesturing into the courtyard opposite.
Luo Qiushui said lightly: "Don't be afraid, take me over to have a look!"
The shopkeeper was already panicked, but seeing Luo Qiushui so calm at this time, his heart also calmed down, and he boldly responded: "Okay, I'll take you there!"
After walking through two courtyards, the shopkeeper took Luo Qiushui into a small courtyard, there were many rooms in this courtyard, all of which were ajar at this time, and Lei Laohu and the others also followed at this time, and walked over to open the door to check.
The furnishings in the room are quite neat, but because there are more dead people, the whole room looks indescribably terrifying!
Luo Qiushui looked at the rooms one by one with a heavy face, and then, with a little sentimentality, said: "There are six rooms in total, and a total of eleven people have died!"
"It looks like these people died at the hands of the same person. Lei Lao Hu said, holding his chin.
"They're all ordinary guests, who would do this to them?" Chunhua wondered.
"Didn't they see or hear some secret before they were killed?" Akizuki guessed boldly.
At this time, Ma Ruyu disappeared again!
Luo Qiushui hurriedly looked over, but saw that in the middle of these rooms, there was a very luxurious flower hall, and at this time, Ma Ruyu was standing there in a daze.
Luo Qiushui slowly followed, took a closer look at the room, and then said, "The smell of sandalwood here is so familiar!"
"Yes, I also came here by smelling the smell!" Ma Ruyu said lightly.
"Did you find anything?" Luo Qiushui said lightly.
"Nothing was found. Ma Ruyu said lightly.
"What about the guests in this room?" Luo Qiushui hurriedly went to ask the shopkeeper.
"Left in the morning. When the shopkeeper said this, his face was not as frightened as he was at the beginning, "The guests in this house are very particular, they must order this kind of sandalwood before they are willing to stay, and they are also very generous, if the shop wants to meet a few more such guests, then it will make a lot of money!"
"Other than that, what's so weird about them?" Luo Qiushui asked.
"It's just a generous guest, what's so weird?" said Ma Ruyu with a smile.
"That's right, there's nothing strange about the guests in this house, but the accent seems to be from Henan Mansion!"
Luo Qiushui glanced at Ma Ruyu carefully, and secretly thought to himself: "Looking at him, he seems to be very nervous, what is he nervous about?"
At this time, Lei Laohu hurriedly followed, opened his mouth and said, "Brother Luo, I took a look, they have been dead for more than half an hour. ”
Luo Qiushui slowly moved his gaze to those rooms and said leisurely: "Half an hour ago, we just came back from outside!"
Lei Laohu said angrily when he heard this: "It's all because we are not at home, otherwise, it is impossible for this killer to kill so many people!"
The shopkeeper hurriedly glanced at Lei Laohu, and said secretly in his heart: "It seems that these people are all masters of the rivers and lakes, and the store will be safe now!"
So, the shopkeeper hurriedly knelt down, kowtowed, and said: "A few heroes are above, please forgive the villain for being rude! The villain dares to implore a few people to live in the shop for a few more days for the sake of morality in the rivers and lakes and help the shop survive this crisis!"
Lei Laohu hurriedly helped up the shopkeeper, and said with a very bold smile: "Don't worry, my brother Luo is the most benevolent, this time there is such a big thing in your store, we will definitely not stand idly by!"
At this moment, I suddenly heard the sound of the hidden weapon breaking through the air, and a dart flashed like lightning, and it was inserted on the pillar on the left side of Lei Laohu's ear, Lei Laohu couldn't help but feel a chill all over his body, and subconsciously looked at the pillar, but saw that there was a note on the dart!
Luo Qiushui immediately pulled out the dart, put it in his hand for a little scrutiny, and then went to look at the content of the note, but saw that a sentence was scribbled on it: "I will come to take your life tomorrow night!"
Lei Laohu took the note in Luo Qiushui's hand, read it again, and then scolded angrily: "Damn, Lao Tzu didn't mess with him, he came to the door!"
Luo Qiushui said lightly: "He came for me." ”
"Oh, it's coming at you?" Lei Laohu couldn't help but open his mouth wide, "Is it possible that you are also robbing me of such a thing as being an opponent?"
Luo Qiushui smiled faintly: "Or, you will deal with him tomorrow night?"
When Lei Laohu heard this, he smiled and said, "With you here, why do you need me to come forward?"
"Childe, do you know the owner of this dart?" asked Haruka.
"I don't know, but I'll know each other tomorrow night!" Luo Qiushui said with a smile.
"Could he be the murderer of these people?" Qiu Yue said in confusion.
"It may or may not be. "Luo Qiu waterway.
"Doesn't that mean you didn't say it?" said Lei Laohu with great annoyance.
"We don't know the details of the other party now, so we have no way of knowing his martial arts path, and we can't determine whether he is a murderer. Luo Qiushui said lightly.
At this time, the shopkeeper hurriedly knelt down for Luo Qiushui: "Since this person is here for Gongzi, I hope that Gongzi can focus on the overall situation, don't involve Xiaodian!"
"Hey, you little bastard, what do you mean by that?" said Lei Laohu.
"The villain has no other meaning, but I just don't want my son's personal grievances to affect the store! We are in business, the boss is my uncle, we have a small profit, and we really don't want to cause more trouble!"
"Don't worry, I'll take care of this matter!" Luo Qiushui looked at the shopkeeper very calmly, "If you're worried about causing trouble to your store, let's move out of the inn and go to another house!"
The shopkeeper rolled his eyes, suddenly got up and said with a smile: "The guest officer said that he laughed, the villain's meaning is not to drive away, but the rivers and lakes are in trouble, and the small shop is inconvenient to be involved, and I hope that the guest officer will know it!"
"I understand!" Luo Qiushui smiled faintly, "Let's go back to the room first!"
The shopkeeper wanted to say something more, but he was glared at fiercely by Lei Laohu, he swallowed what he wanted to say, and watched Luo Qiushui and the others walk in front of him blankly, very unwilling.
After Luo Qiushui and the others returned to the room, they were all depressed, and they really didn't expect that there would be so many changes along the way.
Luo Qiushui let out a long sigh: "There are too many troubles!"
"Childe, so many people died in that courtyard, what did the murderer want to cover up with such cruelty?"
"I don't know, but those people are really wronged!" Luo Qiushui slowly poured a cup of tea, and couldn't help but feel a faint pain in his heart.
"That flower hall is right in the middle of those rooms, is that a coincidence?" Qiu Yue said puzzled.
"But Xiao Er said that the owner of the house left in the morning!" said Lei Laohu.
Luo Qiushui slowly put down the teacup in his hand: "Let's not guess first, things will always come to light!"
When Luo Qiushui said this, he slowly glanced at Ma Ruyu and said with a smile: "Young Master Ma, have you eaten?"
Ma Ruyu was thinking about it, and when she was suddenly asked, she couldn't help but say with some trepidation: "I've eaten it, I've already eaten it before I came back!"
"Why are you so alarmed, is something wrong?" asked Lei Laohu hurriedly.
"No, I just think the appearance of those people dying is too terrifying!" Ma Ruyu tried her best to cover it up.
"Oh, I was scared!" Lei Laohu said this, and suddenly laughed very happily, "It's a shame that you're still a man, and you have such little guts!"
Ma Ruyu immediately blushed and said, "I want to go out and be quiet!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the person walked out of the room, and he couldn't stay even if Lei Laohu shouted in every way!
"How do I feel that he is out of his mind, does he have something on his mind?" Chunhua couldn't help but say.
"That's right, he disappeared for no reason, and when he came back, it was like a different person. Qiu Yue immediately agreed.
"He's probably tired, let him rest and he'll be fine. Luo Qiushui said lightly.
Ma Ruyu walked out of the room, did not return to his guest room, but walked out of the inn, his heart was very chaotic, full of doubts, he must find the answer before he would stop.
He walked aimlessly down the street, unaware that it was dusk.
Looking at the sky, he couldn't help but swallow his saliva, and the last attachment in his heart was gone, and he immediately decided to rush back to the inn, but at this time, he was patted on the shoulder by a person.
Ma Ruyu hurriedly turned around to look, but saw that Ma Decai was looking at him with a smile, and said with a smile: "This little brother, do you still know me?"
Ma Ruyu immediately laughed, he followed Ma Decai to a restaurant, found a secluded private room to sit down, and the first thing he said was: "Is my father okay?"
"The master is very good now, why did the young lady come here to ask?" asked Ma Decai very puzzled.
Ma Ruyu was relieved when she heard that her father was fine, and immediately explained: "A lot of people were killed in the inn for no reason, and I was worried that something would happen to my father, so I asked." ”
"I don't know this very well, not long after you left, the master and I left the inn. When Ma Decai said this, he took out a handful of silver tickets from his arms and handed them to Ma Ruyu, "The master is worried that you don't have enough silver, so he specially ordered me to come back and hand it over to you." ”
Ma Ruyu took the silver ticket, and a trace of gratitude suddenly came to her heart, and she couldn't help but say in a low voice: "Dad, my daughter is ashamed!"
"The master said, he will wait for you in Henan Mansion, I hope you go back safely as soon as possible!" Ma Decai said with a smile.
"Did you kill the people in the inn?" Ma Ruyu's face suddenly became very gloomy, and his gaze became as sharp as an eagle's falcon!
Ma Decai smiled faintly: "Miss said this, how do you want me to answer?"
Ma Ruyu took out a jade pendant from his arms, put it in front of Ma Decai, and said coldly: "This is what I picked up at the scene of the crime!"
Ma Decai's face was very calm, and he saw that he also took out an identical jade pendant from his waist and put it in front of Ma Ruyu, and said with a faint smile: "Miss, this is my jade pendant!"
Ma Ruyu was very surprised to pick up the two jade pendants, compared them carefully, and couldn't help laughing: "Oh my God, these two jade pendants are exactly the same!"
Ma Decai smiled faintly: "There are many such jade on the market, and it is not strange that there are two identical ones! However, if the young lady concludes that I am the murderer based on just one piece of jade, then the old slave is too wronged!"
When Ma Ruyu heard this, she laughed very happily and said, "I said it couldn't be you, now you can finally rest assured!"
Ma Decai smiled faintly: "The old slave is definitely not a person who kills indiscriminately, Miss rest assured!"
Ma Ruyu's suspicion in his heart was solved, and he immediately handed over the jade pendant to Ma Decai, and hurriedly went out of the restaurant to go back to the inn, and Ma Decai put away one of the jade pendants, but crushed the other one and threw it out of the window!
He smiled faintly: "Young people are young people after all, and the Tao is always not deep enough!"
