Chapter Ninety-Three: The Shadow Returns

The sky was slightly bright, but some people couldn't sleep, Xiao Ruoshui sat in the headquarters of Shadow Chengdu, sipping tea, gulping tea, a pot of tea has made him drink without a little taste, like white water, he doesn't know how many times he has gone to the toilet, but the anxious waiting is disappointed. A chubby man dressed as a businessman also stood in front of the window with a stern face, opening the letterhead one by one, and reading it aloud from time to time. If it is a character on the white road and the underworld in Chengdu, he can't help but shout out loudly when he sees a man reading the letterhead so hard, that person is actually the "living Maitreya" Zhong Wanqi, the leader of the alliance recognized on the Chengdu underworld and the white road. Zhong Wanqi's reputation is known to everyone in Chengdu, and no one knows it, but anything that is unfair is not a matter in Zhong Wanqi's eyes, so there is a feeling of "living Maitreya". Now I found that I was reading the letter so hard, and my face was solemn and contrary to my previous appearance of giggling, and it seemed that I had also encountered a problem that the living Maitreya could not solve.

A series of pigeon letters came one after another, but they were all one step too late. Zhong Wanqi looked at the book and became more and more anxious, it was the first time he saw the secret order of the general, and he actually received it from a young man, and then the news came, fully cooperating with the young man to solve the problem, at any cost, he knew that he only tried his best to do it, and did his best to do it, and he couldn't take care of anything else, and he couldn't care about any image and face. His voice is not loud, but it can be clearly transmitted to Xiao Ruoshui's ears, this skill is also very good, and his grasp of people's hearts is also just right. Xiao Ruoshui couldn't get angry, so he kept drinking tea and waiting for news.

"On December 23, a woman in white was found in Xinning Town, her demeanor and appearance were the same as what the hall master said, but this woman only stayed in Xinning Town for one night and disappeared. There is no trace of it to this day. ”

"On December 23, there were three bizarre thefts in Xinning Town, and the thieves left behind silver taels that were worth more than the stolen items, so the owners did not report the crime, but traces of incense were found at the scene of the theft. In addition, the person who played the watch felt haunted by ghosts that night. But no one was seen. There were also four cases of adultery in three days in Xinning Town. The three brawls were preliminarily concluded to have nothing to do with the woman in white. ”

"On December 24, a woman from a foreign country appeared in Liutang Town, dressed in white. But the appearance and form did not match what the hall master said. It was preliminarily concluded that it was the woman mentioned by the hall master. There was one brawl and two thefts in Liutang Town, but the thieves have been caught. It was preliminarily determined that such an incident had nothing to do with the woman in white. The woman in white left Liutang Town on the afternoon of the 24th and walked towards Huaishu Town. ”

"On the evening of December 24, a woman in yellow and green shirt appeared in Huaishu Town. Judging from the horses, it should be the white-clothed woman mentioned in Liutang Town, who left early in the morning after spending the night and went to Guanyu Town. ”

"On December 25, a woman in red appeared in Guanyu Town early in the morning, and the horses were supposed to be the women mentioned by the hall master, but she went to Wangjia Village after staying overnight. ”

"A new woman from Wangjia Village, claiming to have come here to settle down, has bought a room first, and has gone to Chengdu yesterday to purchase things, from the perspective of horses and body shape, it is very similar to the woman said by the hall owner, and has reminded the brothers at the north gate of Chengdu to pay attention. ”

According to the recollections of the officers and soldiers guarding the city, a woman and a man drove a carriage into the city yesterday, and the brothers in the inner city have been notified to investigate. ”

"Brother Xiao, don't be too anxious, as long as she appears in Chengdu City, then she will definitely not be able to escape our eyes and ears, you can rest assured. A chubby, fleshy man smiled at him and said. As soon as he finished speaking, a white carrier pigeon flew in, flapped its wings, and landed on the lattice, purring.

Although the fat man was very fat, white and clean, but his skills were very vigorous, he grabbed the carrier pigeon in his hand as soon as he copied his hand, untied the pigeon tube on the pigeon's leg, opened it and took out a roll of paper, unfolded it and looked at it carefully, he said with a smile after reading it: "I have found it, Brother Xiao does not need to worry." Xiao Ruoshui took the note suspiciously

After a closer look, the paper read, "Inner city report, the woman and the man have stayed in the Yuelai Inn in the north of the city, and have not yet left, but the door is closed, and we have sent someone to keep an eye on it." ”

"Let's go to the Joy Inn. Xiao Ruoshui was overjoyed, and took the fat man's hand and was about to walk towards the door. The fat man was pulled by him a little staggered, but he didn't care, he just reminded Xiao Ruoshui: "Little brother Xiao, don't worry, we have sent someone to keep an eye on it, as long as it is in the Yuelai Inn, it can't be lost." ”

Xiao Ruoshui felt a little rude at this time, shook his head and let go of the fat man, and followed him to the Yuelai Inn.

The two came to the Yuelai Inn in the north of the city one after another, most of the inns are called by this name, one is elegant, and the other is very classy, which can attract customers. This inn is no exception, it also likes the scene of guests coming in droves, but the inn is indeed not of high grade, that is, it is a very general inn, the decoration is very ordinary, and it is also very clean, but it is also very clean, which may be the reason why Shangguan Yanran chose here.

As soon as Xiao Ruoshui and the fat man came here, someone had already walked out from the shadow to greet them, the person had a shrewd face, and he looked neat, he walked out of the shadow without a sound, saw the fat man and Xiao Ruoshui, nodded slightly, and then led them into the alley of the house.

"Lord Xiang, they have gone in and have not come out, and the light in that woman's room just went out not long ago, so she is probably asleep. The man said to the two of them with certainty. He doesn't talk much, but he doesn't talk nonsense. It seems to be the result of a long period of training.

"Are you sure they didn't go out?" Xiao Ruoshui said with some worry as she looked at the thick night.

"I'm sure I haven't been out in front of my eyes so far, and I'm sure I'll use my head as a ticket. The man said with confidence.

"Can we go in now?" Xiao Ruoshui looked at the fat man and the capable man and said, he was a little anxious, for fear that the night would be long and dreamy, after all, the personal skills of Tianlai Villa were not in vain, and it was definitely not brought by propaganda to win the reputation of the largest village in the rivers and lakes.

In the rivers and lakes, people who have always spoken with strength, and those who pretend to be forced without strength have only one word, and that is death.

"Old Qian, take us in, we can only relax when we see people, we must not lose people in Chengdu again, I am afraid that the shadow will not be able to explain to the rivers and lakes." The fat man looked at Xiao Ruoshui's face with an anxious expression, and he hurriedly ordered the man.

"Okay, I'll take you to her. The man didn't dare to delay, so he turned around and walked towards the door of the inn with two people.

Walking to the door of the inn, he knocked lightly on the door three times, two long and one short, and immediately there was a brisk footstep sound in the door, and then the door creaked open, and a man dressed as a small two, rubbed his eyes, yawned and opened the door a crack, and let the three people in.

"Brother Qian, the woman didn't come downstairs, she should still be upstairs. The man dressed as a little second gently put down the bench on the table, let the three of them sit down, lit an oil lamp, and whispered to the old money, although he didn't know who the old money was bringing, but when he saw the old money respectfully facing the two, he also knew that he was a figure to be reckoned with on the road. So he said politely to the three of them.

"Take us to her room and hurry up. Lao Qian didn't stop for a moment, stood up and said to Xiao Er.

Xiao Er was also neat, holding the oil lamp and walked towards the second floor, he didn't say anything, didn't dare to ask anything, Lao Qian is a mythical figure in his eyes, the white road and the underworld are omnipotent, but he has seen Lao Qian beat a few ruffians on their streets to crawl on the ground for half a day and can't get up for half a day, and the next day he has to put wine to apologize to Lao Qian, the old money in his eyes is a mythical character, and now Lao Qian is actually looking for him to do something, he is a slippery and slippery Lisuo can't do it.

"That's it, Brother Qian. Xiao Er pointed to the door and said to Lao Qian.

"You go down, it's none of your business, I'll look for you tomorrow." Lao Qian lowered his voice and said to Xiao Er. Xiao Er nodded, and walked down.

"Xiao Shaoxia, go in. The fat man wasn't sure what this woman was related to Xiao Ruoshui, so he looked at Xiao Ruoshui and asked for his opinion.

Xiao Ruoshui didn't answer him, but just slammed the door with his hand, and the internal force spit out, and the latch inside was already shattered like tofu. As soon as he pushed the door open, a fresh breeze blew in, bringing with it a faint fragrance.

"People aren't there. Xiao Ruoshui slowly walked to the window, pushed open the gently hidden window, looked at the long street in the night, and said coldly.

"What, no one is there?" The man and the fat man were still at the door, and they didn't dare to go in, they heard Xiao Ruoshui speak, and hurriedly rushed into the room, looking around left and right, trying to find something, and asked Xiao Ruoshui in surprise. (To be continued......)
