Chapter 260: Eat the Heart of Death
"This?" Liuyunzhan glanced at Li Luo, and Li Luo responded harmoniously: "Master, it is a good thing to understand life and death, but it is too early to tell now."
The monk smiled and said: "You kid, I won't let you work in vain. I have a thousand taels of silver here. You can take it as wages." After saying that, he took out a few banknotes from his arms and didn't count them.
He counted it and handed it to Li Luo casually. Looking at the denomination, it was four to five thousand taels at least.
Li Luo flashed slightly, but did not take the banknote from the monk's hand. He suddenly raised his eyebrows and said, "What did Senior Brother say to you before he died?"
The monk was stunned and said: "How do you know..."
Li Luo stopped the monk's words and said calmly: "If something really happens as expected by the master, I will definitely do it."
The monk was stunned, scratched his head, glanced at the banknote in his hand, threw it on the table, looked at Li Luo and said: "If the monk is not dead, you can return the banknote to me. If the monk dies, this banknote is still the same."
I'll make it more pleasing to you." After saying that, Li Luo didn't wait for him to refuse, and walked up the stairs to leave.
Liuyunzhan looked at Li Luo, with some resentment between his brows. Li Luo just ignored it and glanced at the banknotes on the table. He sighed slightly and said to Li Yuanxi: "You can keep it first."
."
After saying that, he took a few steps forward and walked into the hall. Everyone left, but there were still a few corpses of merchants in the hall that were left unattended. Li Luo and Liuyunzhan, together with Leng Bing and Li Yuanxi, killed the merchants tragically.
The body was also put aside, and a few straw mats were found and covered first.
Fortunately, it was quite windy and rainy outside, but it was still cold and gloomy. Otherwise, during this hot season, the body would have rotted and stinked in a few days.
Liuyunzhan didn't know whether he couldn't get used to the smell of blood or felt pity, he frowned and said nothing. After packing up, he looked at the people under the straw mat coldly and said in a cold voice: "He was killed by someone close to him.
"
Li Luo hummed, raised his head and glanced upstairs, and said calmly: "Let's bury them tomorrow."
Liuyunzhan moved his lips slightly, and looked at Li Luo but stopped talking, only to let out a long sigh. Li Luo felt sad, Liuyunzhan obviously blamed Li Luo for his last words with the monk, and turned everyone in the room away.
My mind turned to this monk.
Naturally, the murderer was among them. Seeing that the murderer did not hesitate to take risks and took advantage of the chaos to assassinate the monk's brother after turning off the lights, one knew that this middle-aged man obviously knew something secret. Before the man could tell him, he killed him and silenced him.
But in this case, the murderer must have been among the people in the hall, and he took such a risk. What the middle-aged man knew must be very important. If he really told the monk before his death, the monk was in an extremely dangerous situation. Li Luo had just
After cutting off the monk's words, I don't know if the middle-aged man told the monk anything secret, but I am afraid that the murderer must be eliminated soon.
One night, the inn was extremely quiet, and no one was paying attention to the candles and lanterns in the hall. After a few hours, the last puff of green smoke burned out, and darkness suddenly enveloped the inn, catering to the bleak wind and rain outside, and connecting with the ghosts and ghosts in the distance.
, gloomy and gloomy.
In the early morning of the next day, nothing happened in the inn all night. A glimmer of light barely penetrated the gloomy sky, and it shone impartially on several dead bodies in the hall.
Everyone was staying in their respective rooms, planning secretly, when suddenly a scream came from downstairs. After the sound fell, the air seemed to freeze, and after a moment of silence, several figures flew out of the guest room, towards the sound.
When he got a clear view of the frightened and screaming person, Taishu Gu frowned and asked, "It's Mr. Duan, what happened?"
"He, he, he..." Duan Jiang's lips turned blue and he was trembling and speechless.
Tang Mengjue said warmly: "Mr. Duan, please speak slowly, don't be afraid." The voice was warm and clear, which penetrated the heart and lungs. Duan Jiang took a few breaths and calmed down. With a look of horror on his face, he said intermittently: "I, I saw the boss of the Deng family.
Already."
"Where?" Taishu Gu and Tang Mengjue were slightly startled and asked hurriedly.
Duan Jiang raised his finger and pointed to the window, where the dead body was laid down last night. Song Wuxia ducked to the side of the body, glanced at it, and said, "Nothing unusual."
Everyone upstairs walked out of the room. Only the Taoist priest from the Fairy Temple did not show up. Yi Xiao frowned and said, "Aren't they all dead?"
"What did you see the boss of the Deng family doing?" Taishu Gu asked.
Duan Jiang had a look of fear on his face, took several steps back, and replied in a harsh voice: "I saw him squatting next to the corpse, grabbing something from the dead body, and then turned back and smiled at me. Only then did I see clearly.
, what he holds in his hand is that person’s heart.”
At the end of the story, Duan Jiang burst into tears, and a strange smell came out. Tang Mengjue and Taishu Guwei glanced at him, but it was Duan Jiang who was so frightened that he became incontinent.
Song Wuxia opened the straw mat covering the dead body, looked shocked, and shouted in a low voice: "There is a dead body whose heart has disappeared."
Several people upstairs could no longer hold back, so they jumped down and came to the dead body. Sure enough, the chest was in a mess and the heart was missing. Everyone felt a chill in their hearts, but they didn't expect that the corpse would not be spared. Yi Xiao looked at Duan Jiang
There was no blood on his hands, and he immediately withdrew his gaze, stared at the dead body, and said in a deep voice: "How come we didn't hear any movement at all?"
Everyone in the inn had their own thoughts, some were standing upstairs, or standing next to the corpse, thinking quietly, with different expressions, but no one answered. Mu Xiaoxia suddenly remembered something and asked the old man surnamed Huang:
"Mr. Huang, have you found the cause of my brother's death?"
The old man surnamed Huang's face darkened and he said: "No, there are no wounds all over the body, and it doesn't look like he was poisoned. The lights were too dim last night, so I didn't have time to check carefully. I'll take a closer look today."
Mu Xiaoxiao made a sound, turned his head and looked at Li Luo who was standing on the railing looking down, and asked with a smile: "What do you think, Mr. Shen?"
Li Luo shook his head gently and sighed: "Why bother."
"The perpetrator obviously didn't expect Mr. Mu to do such a thing. Now everyone in the inn is on strict guard. If they want to wait for an opportunity to take action, they must first create panic in everyone before they can take action. This move is probably to disturb our minds.
Let's go." Liuyunzhan continued from the side.
Mu Xiaoxia nodded approvingly and said, "This murderer can't hide for long."
Yi Xiao raised his head and looked at Mu Xiaoxia upstairs, and said with a rather strange expression: "But there is no food available in the inn. As long as the murderer waits patiently for a few more days, we can only
We're on standby."
Mu Xiaoxia laughed loudly and said: "Yizun Envoy is very worried, so we have to wait and see who can find something to eat."
After hearing this, several warriors from the Western Regions beside him said: "The horses we brought are still there, so why not kill them first to satisfy our hunger, and then make plans after these few days."
