Chapter 390 There are people hiding in the refrigerator
Xiao Han turned around and looked at me doubtfully.
I held the dragon scale dagger tightly in my hand and turned towards the kitchen.
The transparent glass door of the kitchen was closed, and there were many bloody fingerprints on the glass, as well as bloody lines drawn from the fingerprints.
Through the glass door, you can have a panoramic view of the space inside. There is nothing inside except the refrigerator, stove and some cooking utensils, so Lu Xiaohong and the others did not check it just now.
But when I just turned my head, my sharp eyes saw two bloody footprints leading to the large double-door refrigerator. There were also blood stains and bloody handprints on the refrigerator door.
The vegetables and some food that were supposed to be placed in the refrigerator were scattered on the floor, as well as the refrigerator partitions. Those things almost covered the bloody footprints on the ground, but two or three footprints were exposed.
All this shows that if there is someone hiding in the refrigerator, there is a chance that it is Qi Yue.
Lu Xiaohong also noticed the clue and followed him and said, "I'll go with you!"
I nodded, walked into the kitchen with Lu Xiaohong, kicked off the partitions and vegetables on the floor, and stood in front of the refrigerator.
The people inside heard our movements, and the refrigerator shook slightly.
I didn't hesitate and directly opened the refrigerator door.
Sure enough, there was a person curled up inside, but unfortunately, it was not Qi Yue.
It's a woman!
Wearing a dark blue silk housecoat with a white apron tied in front of her body, the apron was covered with mottled blood stains.
The woman slowly turned around from her knees and looked at me and Lu Xiaohong with fear in her eyes.
"Sister-in-law Chen?" I said, a little surprised, but not too surprised.
She had gained a lot of weight, and when she turned her head, she revealed a thick gold necklace around her neck, and a glass jade bracelet on her wrist. It could also be seen from the texture of her clothes that Qi Yue treated her very well.
At least she got all the money she wanted.
"Young Master... Hu... Miss Hu..." Mrs. Chen looked at me in surprise and stammered.
It was very cold in the refrigerator, and she didn't know how long she had been hiding in it. Her face was pale, her lips were blue, and her whole body was trembling.
"Come out!" I looked at her and said coldly.
I really have no sympathy for this woman.
I once reminded her to leave Qi Yue as soon as possible to preserve her own happiness, but now it seems that she did not listen to my words.
If she had been so to me before because Qi Yue threatened his son, she couldn't help it. But since Hao Jingde just told us that her son helped Qi Yue pull a cart of beggars to the villa in the morning, the mother and son have long since
Forced to become Qi Yue's minion.
Mrs. Chen moved her body, maybe because she was frozen, and rolled out of the refrigerator.
"Hu...Ms. Hu, I...I didn't...did anything..."
Mrs. Chen knelt down in front of me, shaking like chaff. She turned her head and swept her panicked eyes towards the living room. When she saw Hao Jingde standing at the entrance to the basement, a flash of "It turns out I'm not the only one unlucky" flashed in her eyes.
'Surprise.
This surprise made her quickly calm down from her panic. She lay on the ground and looked at Hao Jingde and said: "Old Hao, you were arrested too. Master Qi left last night. Why didn't you invite these people first?"
Let’s have a cup of tea and then take them down to have a look?”
Hao Jingde looked at her coldly and said nothing.
Seeing that Hao Jingde didn't respond, Mrs. Chen hurriedly climbed up from the ground and said while standing up: "Miss Hu, please ask your companion to wait for a moment. I will clean this place first and turn on all the lights in the basement before you go in!
"
It seems that Mrs. Chen is very loyal to Qi Yue and wants to delay time for him.
While she was speaking, Lu Xiaohong had already checked the entire kitchen, glanced at Aunt Chen, then turned to Xiao Han and said, "Xiao Zun, there is nothing suspicious in the kitchen!"
Before Xiao Han could say anything, Hao Jingde had already walked towards the basement steps, saying as he walked: "Let's go down quickly!"
Sean looked back at me and followed Hao Jingde impatiently into the underground steps.
Seeing Hao Jingde speak, Mrs. Chen was so surprised that her eyes widened and she stammered: "Old, Old Hao, aren't you mute?"
I gave Mrs. Chen a cold look and said coldly: "Uncle Hao has never been mute. I knew that the first day I came here."
"Ah——" Mrs. Chen opened her mouth in surprise.
Too lazy to look at Mrs. Chen's expression, Lu Xiaohong and I followed Xiao Han and others toward the basement steps. As Lu Xiaohong walked, he said to Shi Xian: "Shitou, this woman is troubling you."
Sister-in-law Chen doesn't have much ability herself, so there's nothing to worry about leaving it to Shi Xian and the others.
"Okay!" Shi Xian said and walked towards Mrs. Chen.
"You, you can't go down!" Mrs. Chen's voice sounded behind us, "Miss Hu, it's very dangerous inside, there are monsters..."
We ignored her. Mrs. Chen said this not out of good intentions to remind us, but just to delay us for a while.
"Stop talking nonsense, don't force me to hit women!" Shi Xian's voice came from behind us. Mrs. Chen finally shut up under Shi Xian's threat.
Hao Jingde and Sean walked in the front, followed closely by Xiao Han. Behind Xiao Han were several heavenly masters he brought from other places. I followed those heavenly masters, and Lu Xiaohong walked at the end.
The steps were very steep and became narrower as we went down, just enough for one person to pass, which slowed us down a lot.
It was pitch dark all around. Shi Xian probably hasn't asked Mrs. Chen where the light switch is in the basement yet, but this doesn't pose any obstacle to us. The lowest Celestial Masters brought back by Xiao Han have already reached the third level of Xuanjie.
With their cultivation level, everyone can see at night.
Just after I walked down a few steps, I felt the nine-tailed fox pendant in my purse became slightly warm and trembled. Then Bai Yao's voice sounded in my ears: "Long San, I feel my body and inner alchemy."
The breath is gone!”
I was very happy when I heard this. It seemed that I had come to the right place this time.
Not only did he come at the right time, but Bai Yao could feel the breath of his body and inner elixir, which meant that Qi Yue was still in the basement. If he had escaped, he would definitely have taken the inner elixir with him.
I knew that I was the only one who could hear what Bai Yao said to me, so I didn't answer him out loud.
He is still just a ray of consciousness, and his condition is getting weaker and weaker. Anyone with cultivation level above the earth level can easily break up this ray of consciousness.
Hao Jingde's cultivation level is unfathomable. Four of the seven heavenly masters brought by Xiao Han are already at the third level of the earth level or above. I don't dare to take this risk casually.
"The faster you go, the inner alchemy's aura will become weaker and weaker!" Bai Yao said in my ear again.
Hearing what he said, I felt a little anxious. I looked forward and found that Hao Jingde and Xiao Han had already walked out of the steps one after another. There should be a relatively open area below the steps.
