Chapter 286: The tragedy of Xiang Meiren
The sky gradually darkened and night fell quietly. The three people, who had eaten and drunk their fill, sat in the lobby, listening to the passers-by drinking and chatting, and occasionally interjecting.
This Xiang Meiren Inn is located near a big city and is under the jurisdiction of the big city. It is set up here to provide a place for customers who cannot enter the city because it is too late to rest.
Mei Sanniang had actually booked a room, but the three of them did not go upstairs to rest. Firstly, they were not sleepy yet, and secondly, they were bored.
In the lobby, it is quite interesting to listen to people chatting and telling stories about strange things from all over the world.
There are actually very few entertainment options in Fuyao Tianxia.
Chatting, gossiping and gambling, other than that...there seems to be nothing else.
In order to liven up the atmosphere, the shopkeeper organized an event where whoever told the story well could get a snack from him.
Upon seeing this, Li Changxiao told a horror story. He told a really good story and created the atmosphere extremely well.
As soon as the story was told, everyone present began to shiver. A gust of wind blew past, and because the window was not closed tightly, a whistling sound was heard.
Everyone was like a frightened bird, not daring to stay any longer, and went upstairs one after another.
Li Changxiao went to get the fennel beans, but unexpectedly he was scolded by the shopkeeper, who told him to liven up the atmosphere, not to scare people.
at this time.
A group of men in black walked into the inn. They were all wearing black hoods, so their faces could not be seen clearly. Li Changxiao counted them and found that there were fifteen of them in total.
As soon as they came in, they occupied three tables, with an average of five people at each table. The leader waved his hand and ordered an extremely sumptuous meal.
It is no exaggeration to say that these are real delicacies from land and sea.
Li Changxiao and the other two took a few more glances at him. They had seen many strange people in the world and were no longer surprised. So they went back to their rooms.
"You didn't... book only one room?"
Li Changxiao and the cook looked at the house card that Mei Sanniang took out from her chest and asked with a strange look on their faces.
"how?"
Mei Sanniang raised her eyebrows, "It doesn't matter that I'm a woman, but you two grown men are still trying to be so coy? Can I still squeeze you dry?"
Mei Sanniang was furious again, "I have told you so many times, anyone can make money, but it cannot be made by my peers!"
As she spoke, she opened the door, kicked the cook in, then pushed Li Changxiao in, and closed the door.
"Little man, let's take a bath together."
She said charmingly.
But it was just talk, and she didn't expect Li Changxiao to really take a bath with her.
The three of them took turns bathing. Mei Sanniang was the first, Li Changxiao was the second, and the cook was the third.
After washing up, they arranged a place to sleep. The room was not big and the bed could only sleep one person, so the others had to sleep on the floor. In order to ensure fairness, the three of them adopted a voting system.
Mei Sanniang was confident that there was no suspense about who would sleep on the bed. However, when the voting results came out, she was dumbfounded. The three people each had one vote. She voted for herself, the cook voted for Li Changxiao, and Li Changxiao voted for the cook.
After much arguing, Li Changxiao finally let the cook sleep on the bed. The reason was very simple. He was not particular about where to sleep. He could easily fall asleep even in the wilderness, let alone an inn.
Mei Sanniang felt that the two men were deliberately targeting her, so she took out her anger on Li Changxiao.
Playing around.
A night passed.
As the sky gradually cleared up the next day, a ray of sunlight shone into the guest room where the three people were staying.
The three were suddenly awakened by a loud noise.
Listen carefully.
It was the sound of soldiers marching in unison.
Li Changxiao opened the window and looked outside, only to see a row of soldiers surrounding the entire inn.
"Madam, cook, something's wrong."
he shouted.
The two of them woke up slowly, put on their shoes and socks, tidied their clothes, looked out the window, and saw the neatly arranged soldiers.
"Let's go down and have a look."
Mei Sanniang said.
The three of them went downstairs and looked down. They saw that the door of the inn had been closed and no one could enter or leave.
A man in official uniform, accompanied by two personal guards, was questioning the innkeeper.
Also.
In the center of the lobby on the first floor.
There was a pool of red blood. If you look closely, you can see that it was a pool of blood mud. It was very scary and no one knew who had done it.
Li Changxiao frowned.
Judging from the situation, a case must have occurred.
and…
It seemed that because of that case, the officers and soldiers closed off the Xiang Meiren Inn.
Li Changxiao and others found out after going downstairs.
It turned out to be last night.
A tragedy occurred in this Xiangmei Inn. A living person was chopped into meat paste.
It’s the stall in the lobby on the first floor.
The three of them looked at each other. Although they did not use their spiritual energy, their senses were still very sharp. If someone really was chopped into meat paste, with such a big noise, they should have noticed it.
of course.
If the perpetrator is not a mortal, then it is possible that he did not notice. After all, they who call themselves spirits, bodies, and gods only rely on their five senses to perceive the world. Since these are five senses, no matter how sharp they are, it is normal not to feel anything due to the influence of attention, environment, etc.
The three were questioned and sat obediently by the side, watching them solve the case.
The official ordered his men to wake up all the tenants in the inn and gather them in the lobby.
The shopkeeper opened a total of fifteen rooms last night.
Li Changxiao and his men occupied one room, leaving fourteen rooms. His subordinates called out one by one, and the doors of the rooms were opened one by one. When those people went down to the first floor, they were obviously frightened by the pool of blood and mud, and their faces turned pale.
"Your Excellency."
"There were three rooms with no response."
The servant came back to report.
The official frowned and looked at the shopkeeper.
The shopkeeper said hurriedly, "The people in those three rooms came together last night. They arrived in the middle of the night and may still be asleep now."
The servant said, "It's impossible. It's impossible. I shouted three times. Even the elephant should have woken up."
The official frowned, "What are the characteristics of that group of people?"
The shopkeeper said: "He was dressed in black, wearing a hood, so his face couldn't be seen, and he spent lavishly..."
The official frowned in thought.
At this time, the shopkeeper added: "Oh, by the way, they came at the same time, but only three rooms were booked. In my inn, one room can barely accommodate two people, but five people... that is definitely not enough."
"Let's go!" The official noticed something strange and shouted, "Follow me up and take a look!"
He took the lead and walked in front, and Li Changxiao and others followed closely behind him to check it out.
Come to one of the rooms.
The official took a half step back and then kicked the door open.
The first thing you see is pitch black.
Then...
Then, five figures in black were seen floating in the air, slowly turning on their toes.
Because of the change in air flow, the body was shaking slightly.
The official was startled, and when he came to his senses, his expression was extremely solemn.
There are five men in black in this house.
They all hanged themselves!
