The person is dead, and it seems that he has been dead for at least a day.
In other words, it is very likely that after they left yesterday, someone came over and killed the old brewer.
The two searched the yard carefully for clues.
But the strange thing is that the large deposit they brought yesterday is still on the table and has not been stolen.
Now it seems that the other party may not have simply committed a home invasion and robbery.
Lin Mengya frowned and said, "But as an old man living alone, who will he have a grudge with?"
"Maybe it's his competitor?" Qinghu only guessed.
But she thought about it and shook her head, "The wine shop owner we met before, logically speaking, has a certain competitive relationship with this old man, but he took the initiative to recommend the old man to us, which shows that the old man is very popular.
.”
It's neither robbery nor vendetta, so what could it be?
The two of them were puzzled.
She took a closer look at the old man's body.
She found that the old man's cheeks seemed to have been beaten before he died.
And that sword seemed more like it was beyond the old man's expectation.
In other words, the murderer is an identity that the old man never expected to attack him.
I heard from my neighbors that there is an endless stream of merchants ordering fine wine from my old man.
Then the most likely person to appear here is the customer who buys wine from the old man.
But there is no need for them to kill people!
In order to confirm her suspicion, she and Qinghu went to the old man's wine cellar.
Sure enough, when she opened the door, she saw it was empty.
Although she had ordered most of it before, there was still some wine left in there that the old man said had not arrived yet.
Now they are all gone.
"It seems that he is dressed as a customer buying wine." She said angrily.
Qinghu suddenly frowned.
"I remember that on the way the two of us came back, I met some weird people.
Look, they are dressed like foreigners, but a few of them wrap themselves up tightly in broad daylight, and they don’t look like good people.”
Upon hearing this, Lin Mengya quickly asked.
"Then do you still remember their physical characteristics?"
Shaking his head, Qinghu said with some regret, "I was only paying attention to you at that time and didn't see clearly what they looked like."
She couldn't help but be a little disappointed.
But then he thought about it, if the other party really killed someone because of the wine, would the wine they bought also be remembered?
"Have our people brought the wine back to the temple now?"
Qinghu considered it carefully and said, "Based on time, I shouldn't have sent it back by now."
Lin Mengya nodded, "Ask them to be more careful, and then leave a few altars for us." Come."
"good."
Qinghu probably understood her thoughts and immediately sent someone to do it.
She felt a little sad when she thought that the kind old man who was chatting and laughing with her yesterday had turned into a cold corpse today.
But she couldn't understand why those people killed people just because of a few jars of wine.
She entered the house and tidied up the old man's body for a while.
Without thinking, he found a small bottle slipping out of the old man's arms.
What is this?
She picked it up curiously, shook it, and found that there was some liquid inside.
Is it possible that this is also wine brewed by an old man?
She opened the bottle, but the smell emanating from the bottle made her feel refreshed.
Yes, it was this smell, the source of her desire!
It's just that the liquid in the small bottle has a much stronger taste than wine.
She resisted the temptation and closed the lid.
The smell dissipated instantly, and her mind became much clearer.
What on earth is this? How come it frequently challenges her self-control?
Qinghu quickly returned to the house and saw her staring at a small bottle in a daze, so he couldn't help but ask questions.
"What is this?"
"I don't know if I found it on the old man's body, and this seems to be the reason why those wines attract me so much."
She shook the bottle in her hand, causing Qinghu to frown.
"Is this good or bad?"
Qinghu couldn't help but feel a little worried when he thought of the girl's drunken behavior yesterday.
Although my little girl is immune to all poisons, who can guarantee that these weird things will not have an effect on her?
"I don't think it's very good either. I always feel like I need this thing very much, but I can't tell what it is."
This feeling is a bit strange.
Just as an extremely thirsty person needs water, her body seemed to crave this liquid.
Even the medicine in the system cannot explain why.
But since she had no problem drinking yesterday, it must be no harm to her body, right?
The two cleaned up and left the old man's wine shop.
They hid on the corner of the street, and after a while they saw their neighbor walking in.
Then there was an exclamation.
"Dead people, dead people! Someone come quickly!"
People around him ran in one after another.
"Let's go, I
We’d better leave first!”
Qinghu patted her shoulder.
"Um."
Because yesterday they went to the old man's yard to buy wine, many people knew about it.
So in order to avoid unnecessary complications, the two quickly packed up all their luggage and left first.
Sure enough, not long after the two left, someone led the guards in the yard to arrest them.
But they missed it.
These guards used their fastest speed to spread the news to other towns, but unfortunately they found nothing. .??.
Because on the way, Lin Mengya and Qinghu put on a little disguise.
The two of them pretended to be a brother and sister selling wine, and when their subordinates mixed some of the old man's wine with other wines and sent them over.
The two also started hawking along the street.
They walked all the way back from the town where the old man was.
Along the way, they saw the guards tightening their vigilance.
This is not good news for those rebels who want to sneak in.
Therefore, Lin Mengya did not reveal her identity to Qinghu in time, but instead acquiesced in allowing the incident to get worse.
The two arrived in the city soon.
There were many small traders like them, so the two of them did not arouse special vigilance from the guards.
Just seeing the portraits of the two people posted on the city wall, I couldn't help but feel a little funny.
Not to mention that the portraits are not similar at all. The portraits, which have a modern abstract artistic aesthetic, do not turn the two of them into human beings at all.
Lin Mengya didn't have any feelings at all, but she made Qinghu very angry.
"Am I so ugly in their eyes?"
Qinghu pointed at the portrait and said angrily.
Lin Mengya looked at him speechlessly.
"Can you please keep your voice down? If you attract someone here, our plan will be over!"
Even though he got a big look from Lin Mengya, he still refused to be outdone.
With a face full of grievances, he complained to her, "Is it easy for me to look so pretty? They don't respect my beauty!"
"puff--"
She squirted out all the water she drank in her mouth.
"Did you know that narcissism is a disease? It needs to be cured!"
But Qinghu looked unconcerned.
"I'm just good-looking, you're jealous of me!"
"Am I jealous of you?" She smiled coldly and revealed it without hesitation.
"You're telling me to paint an old cucumber green and pretend to be young! Do you understand? I don't care how old your skin has become. Your good looks are nothing!"
Qinghu, who was ruthlessly exposed, became extremely embarrassed. There is no intention of being angry.
Instead, he tossed his hair very coquettishly.
"What's wrong with pretending to be cool? At least I have the capital to pretend to be cool!"
Lin Mengya looked at the slutty guy in front of her, but her teeth felt a little itchy.
Is it too late to bite him to death now?
The two of them talked in hushed tones, and since they were leaning on a corner of the street, there was no one around them.
Otherwise, based on their previous performance and conversation, they would definitely be reported.
Just when Lin Mengya was trying to threaten the other party with force to shut him up, someone suddenly walked up to their wine stall.
"How to sell these wines?"
The person who came was a stranger, and he looked like he was from outside the country in his clothes.
Qinghu immediately changed his face and said, "Sir, which one are you asking about?"
The man pointed to a jar of ordinary spirits in the car.
Qinghu took one look at it and immediately said quickly, "There are ones with a pot for one cent, and there are pots with three cents for a pot. We have whatever flavor your guest likes to drink here."
The man was picking and choosing in their car, and finally chose a pot of ordinary ones and the kind brewed by the old man.
The old man's wine was actually very popular, so the two of them didn't think there was anything unusual.
Just when Qinghu took out a bamboo tube and wanted to serve him wine, the man said, "No need, I want both jars of wine."
You must know that the wine jars on their cars are each at least half a person tall.
Most people simply cannot drink so much wine.
If I need to host a banquet or a hotel, I will bargain with them because I have more goods.
But the person in front of me didn't bargain with them at all.
The two looked at each other vaguely, and Qinghu agreed with a smile on his face while thinking of something to say.
"Oh, I don't know which family in the town you are from. Since you want so much, how about we brothers and sisters deliver it to your house in person?"
The other party immediately refused.
"Yes, yes, but our home is far away from here." Qinghu replied.
The man's eyes turned and asked, "How far is it?"
"Oh, if we leave now, it will take at least a day and a night to get to our house."
Qinghu saw a bit of disappointment in the man's eyes.
At this time, Lin Mengya answered the question.
"Do you still want this kind of wine, sir?"
"Isn't this the only one you have?" the other party asked.
"It is true that there is only this one on the car, but the company that supplies us should still have a lot of stock. If you still need it, we, brother and sister, will make a trip to you now. Then you can see how hard we have worked.
For my own sake, I’ll just give you a few more rewards.”
