Chapter 286: The Tragedy of Xiang Meiren

The sky was getting dark and night fell quietly. The three of them, who had eaten and drank enough, sat in the lobby, listening to the passers-by drinking and chatting, and occasionally interjected.

This Xiangmeiren Inn is located near a big city and is under the jurisdiction of the big city. The reason why it is established here is to facilitate some customers who are unable to 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 up to rest. Firstly, they were not sleepy, and secondly, they were bored.

In the lobby, it was quite interesting to listen to those people chatting about strange things from various places.

Fuyao World’s entertainment options are actually extremely lacking.

Chatting, gossiping and gambling, other than that...it seems to be completely gone.

In order to liven up the atmosphere, the shopkeeper held an impromptu event. Whoever told the story well could come to him and get a dish to go with the wine.

When Li Changxiao saw this, he told a horror story. He told the story really well and the atmosphere was perfectly rendered.

Just after telling a story, everyone present shivered, a gust of wind blew by, and there was a whirring sound because the windows were not closed tightly.

Everyone was like frightened birds, they really didn't dare to stay any longer, so they all went upstairs one after another.

Li Changxiao went to get the fennel beans, but was scolded by the shopkeeper, telling you to liven up the atmosphere, not to scare people.

Just then.

A group of men in black walked into the inn. They were all wearing black hoods, and their appearance could not be seen clearly. Li Changxiao counted them, and there were fifteen people in total.

As soon as they came in, they occupied three tables, with an average of five people per table. The leader waved his hand and ordered an extremely sumptuous meal.

It is no exaggeration to say that it is a real delicacy from mountains and seas.

Li Changxiao and the other two glanced at each other twice, walking around the rivers and lakes. There were many strange people, and they had long since grown accustomed to them and went back to their rooms.

"You didn't...only book one room, right?"

Li Changxiao and the cook looked at Mei Sanniang who only took out a house card from her chest and asked with strange expressions.

"how?"

Mei Sanniang raised her eyebrows, "It doesn't matter if I'm a girl, but you two grown men are still flirting with each other? Can I still squeeze you dry?"

Mei Sanniang was furious again, "How many times have I told you that money can be earned by anyone, but it cannot be earned by your peers!"

With that said, she opened the door, kicked the cook in, then pushed Li Changxiao in, and closed the door again.

"Xiao Langjun, let's take a shower together."

she said charmingly.

But it was just talk, and she didn't expect Li Changxiao to actually take a shower with her.

The three of them took turns to take a bath, Mei Sanniang was the first, Li Changxiao was the second, and the cook was the third.

After washing, it’s time to arrange a place to sleep. This room is not big. Only one person can sleep on the bed, and the rest can only sleep on the floor. In order to ensure fairness, a voting system is adopted for three people.

Mei Sanniang was confident that there was no suspense about who would sleep in the bed. However, when the voting results came out, she was dumbfounded. Each of the three had one vote. She voted for herself, the cook voted for Li Changxiao, and Li Changxiao voted for the cook.

After some hesitation, Li Changxiao let the cook sleep on the bed. The reason was simple. He didn't pay any particular attention to where he slept. 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 Li Changxiao to vent her anger.

Playing around.

The night passed.

When it became clearer the next day, a ray of sunlight shone into the guest room where the three of them were.

The three of them were suddenly awakened by a loud noise.

Listen carefully.

It was the sound of soldiers pacing in order.

Li Changxiao opened the window and looked outside, only to see a row of soldiers surrounding the entire inn.

"Lady boss, cook, something happened."

he shouted.

The two woke up slowly, put on their shoes and socks, and arranged their clothes. They looked out the window and saw soldiers lined up neatly.

"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 was allowed to enter or exit.

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 is a pool of red blood. If you look closely, you can see that it is a pool of blood and mud. It is very scary and it is unknown who did it.

Li Changxiao frowned.

Judging from this situation, there should be a case.

and…

It seems that because of that case, the officers and soldiers closed down the Xiangmeiren Inn.

Li Changxiao and others found out after they went downstairs to find out.

It turned out last night.

A tragedy happened at Xiangmeiren Inn. A living person was chopped into pieces.

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 keen. Someone was really being chopped into pieces. They should have noticed such a big movement.

certainly.

If the perpetrators are not mortals, then it is possible that they did not notice it. After all, they call themselves spirits, bodies, and gods, and they only rely on their five senses to experience the world. Since they are five senses, no matter how sharp they are, they will have problems with attention, environment, etc. It is normal not to feel it under the influence.

The three people were interrogated and sat aside honestly, watching them solve the case.

The official ordered his men to wake up all the tenants in the inn and gather in the lobby.

Last night the shopkeeper opened a total of fifteen rooms.

Li Changxiao and his men occupied one room, leaving fourteen rooms. The men called one by one, and the doors of the rooms were opened. When they went down to the first floor, they were obviously frightened by the blood and mud, and their faces turned pale.

"Report to the lord."

"Three rooms did not respond."

The servant came back to report.

The official frowned and looked at the shopkeeper.

The shopkeeper hurriedly said: "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: "Impossible, absolutely 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: "Black clothes, wearing hoods, can't see the face, and then generous..."

The official frowned and thought.

At this time, the shopkeeper added: "Oh, by the way, they came at the same time with fifteen people, but only three rooms were opened. 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 said loudly: "Follow me to take a look!"

He took the lead and walked in front, followed by Li Changxiao and others to check.

Came to one of the rooms.

The official took a half step back and then kicked the door open.

The first thing he saw was pitch black.

Then...

He saw five figures in black clothes, floating in the air, slowly turning their toes.

Because of the change in airflow, their bodies were shaking slightly.

The official was startled, and when he came to his senses, his face was extremely solemn.

The five men in black in this room.

All hanged themselves!
