Chapter 60 Missing As they were talking, the waiter's voice was heard from inside the inn. "Mr. Shi, Mr. Wu, where are you? Please come out and see me. Mr. Shi, Mr. Wu..." There were sounds of guest room doors opening one after another, and I guess they were checking each room one by one. Soon, shouts appeared below them. After the footsteps left, Wu Jinliang asked softly, "Bian Weiying? Impossible, we have no grudge against her, why would she harm us? Tell me the truth, did you touch her while I was away? Don't think I didn't see you touching Xiang Lan'er all the way, you are so stuffy." He clearly remembered the scene when the other person hugged Xiang Lan'er and ran. The position of the hug was simply unbearable to look at. He wanted to exchange hugs with the other person, but the other person said that he valued women over friendship and refused. But the other person had to pretend to chase Xiang Lan'er. It was unfair to think about it. Couldn't he chase her instead? He was so tall and had such a good appearance. Shi Chun was puzzled. When did he touch the elephant Lan'er? What nonsense was this guy talking about? No, it's already this late and he doesn't even dare to speak loudly, but this guy is still thinking about touching a woman. If the situation wasn't dangerous and he didn't dare to alarm anyone, he would have kicked the guy with his big feet.
He whispered, "Don't talk nonsense. The scar on the palm of the hand of the man next to Bian Weiying is similar to the scar on the hand that attacked us in the carriage. It's in the same position. It can't be a coincidence." After hearing what he said, Wu Jinliang's nerves immediately tensed up and he opened his eyes wide to look, but Wei Bian's hand had already been put down and the angle was not good, so he could only vaguely see that there seemed to be a scar, but he couldn't see it clearly. However, he knew very well that Chuntian would not joke about such things. With his heart pounding, he whispered, "What should we do? This is their territory, and they have so many people and power. Any few of them are stronger than us, and they have endless talismans. This is troublesome. Why are we so unlucky? Everything goes wrong when we come out. Look at Lao Dong and Da Shitou." Then he tugged at Shi Chun's sleeve and pointed at the slovenly old man under the eaves opposite, "Isn't he a master? Can that old man keep his word?" Shi Chun: "You ask me, who should I ask? We are not familiar with him at all, he won't even reveal the details, and we have never tried before. Do we dare to put our lives in his hands when we try for the first time? This is Wukang Mountain, Bian Weiying is doing things in the city as the city lord, are you sure he will interfere? There is really no other way, we can't count on that old man. The most important thing now is to find a way to contact Feng Chi and tell her the truth. They have been doing business here for a long time and should be able to solve it. The problem is that I don’t know where the person is and whether I can make it in time. I have to find the innkeeper, he may know where he is. No, with such a big commotion, unless she is not in the city, the inn should have informed her long ago. She is very likely nearby, but it is inconvenient for her to show up. We should bear it first, she will not sit idly by and will probably find a way to solve it. " Wu Jinliang thought about it and nodded, "That's right, hold on for now. If that doesn't work, try running towards that old man." "Mr. Shi, Mr. Wu, where are you? Come out, it's okay..." The guy's soul-calling voice came up again, and after it passed by, it turned downstairs. Soon, the waiter appeared in their sight and went downstairs outside. The clerk smiled bitterly at the shopkeeper and the others and said, "We have looked everywhere, but he is not here. I don't know where he went." The shopkeeper was somewhat speechless and asked, "Have you searched for everything?" The guy said with absolute certainty, "I've looked all over the place, and it's not there." Let’s not talk about whether Bian Weiying and others would believe this, it is impossible to just let it go because of a casual remark from the waiter. It is not that simple. Bian Weiying glanced coldly at Wei Bian who was standing beside him. Wei Bian understood and immediately waved his hand and shouted, "Search!" A group of Wukangshan disciples immediately rushed into the door of the inn and spread out to search everywhere. “This, this…” The shopkeeper spread his hands, not knowing what to do. He had no choice but to watch.
Things seemed to have gone wrong, and the people watching the excitement nearby found it more and more interesting, and did not take the drizzle seriously at all. The skinny man in green on the roof tilted his head to look at Feng Chi, as if he also wanted to ask, what's going on? Feng Chi was already frowning and muttering, "He's not here? Did he climb out the window from the back? He killed someone in self-defense, why are you running away?" Not to mention that this is a customary rule, even if it is a heavenly law, as long as it is clearly defined, there will be no punishment for killing in self-defense. This is basic common sense. Seeing the crowd rushing in from downstairs, Shi Chun reached out and poked Wu Jinliang, who retreated from the corner of the roof. Wu Jinliang quickly followed. Before moving away from the gap in the ceiling and sliding down to the ground, the two rubbed their bare feet against each other's body, which was rarely cleaned and had accumulated dust, so that no footprints would be left on the ground after landing. The oil lamp in the corridor was dim, and there were hurried footsteps downstairs. The two men crouched down, half-crouching on the floor of the corridor, listening attentively to the noise downstairs. Listening to the footsteps below and the noises of people opening doors and rushing into rooms to check, Shi Chun roughly determined the search pattern. He whispered to Wu Jinliang, "The old way, take a gamble! If the gamble doesn't work, there are two choices. One is to break through the wall and rush to the old man. The other is to break through the wall and rush to the next door." He pointed at the oil lamp on the wall and said, "You can set fire. Go ahead and burn it. The bigger the fire, the better. It doesn't matter whose house it is. The more it burns, the better. In short, the bigger the noise, the better. Let the people of the Demonic Path find our location and create opportunities for them to take action in the chaos. I don't believe that they can sit back and watch even though we have caused trouble and have started to fight hard. They may not understand the seriousness of the matter. We have to force them to rescue us!" No matter what the result is, you should be prepared to face failure. Wu Jinliang nodded, "Okay." Shi Chun took out the short blade from his sleeve again, pointed to the guest room in the corner of this floor, and said calmly, "Get to work!" He didn't care whether the knife had just been used to stab someone or not, and put it in his mouth after he finished speaking. Wu Jinliang quickly got up and left, quickly tiptoed to the door of the guest room in the corner, cast a spell to gently open the door, went in to confirm that there was nothing wrong inside, then leaned out of the door and gave a gesture that it was all right. Shi Chun quickly took off his clothes, used the clean part of his clothes to wipe the dust on the floor from the ceiling, and then quickly tiptoed to the room in the corner. Just as the two of them quietly closed the door, several people rushed up the stairs and pushed open the doors of each guest room to search like wolves. When a leading figure came up, he immediately looked at the ceiling and shouted, "Two people go up and take a look." Immediately, some people opened the ceiling and crawled in one after another, flashing the golden and purple flames to illuminate and search in the space where they had to bend over. Not long after, a man broke into the room where Shi Chun and the other man were hiding, pushed the door open and rushed in aggressively. But just as he stepped inside, a short blade with a sharp tip appeared above his head like a dragonfly touching the water, and then suddenly stabbed in. That man never dreamed that someone would dare to blatantly assassinate him in this inn in their territory, Linkang City. His eyes widened and his mouth opened, but he could no longer make a sound. His body was only trembling, and a hand casually reached down to cover his mouth. Shi Chun, who had attacked him, used the force on his shoulder to quietly land on the ground. Wu Jinliang stepped inside and gently stretched out his hand to catch the sandalwood gold used for lighting that fell from the man's hand. The man was quickly dragged to the couch, and Wu Jinliang, who followed, quickly pulled up the quilt to cover the man's head. Shi Chun then drew his sword without shedding blood, and then quickly stripped the man of the clothes of a disciple of Wukang Mountain and quickly put them on himself. "No." "Not here either." "Not found."
Responses came one after another from the corridor. Soon, the leader who was checking the corridor came over, glanced into the room and asked, "How is it?" With his butt facing the ground, Shi Chun, who was lying on the bed with a golden light, seemed to be checking carefully, and replied, "There is nothing here either." In fact, Wu Jinliang was lying under the couch, hugging a corpse wrapped in a quilt. Just as Shi Chun said, this is really a gamble, and the possibility of failure is too high. Fortunately, the leader saw it with his own eyes, did not take Shi Chun's voice seriously, and turned around and left. Shi Chun quickly stood up, grasped the light of Tanjin, walked to the door and listened to the movements outside. Not long after, someone on the other side of the corridor shouted, "There seem to be traces of human intervention on the ceiling. I don't know if it was left by someone before or by those two people." The leader's voice sounded, "No matter what the traces are, I'll just ask if there's anyone up there?" The former responded: "No, the three of us looked back and forth, and there is definitely no one. It's empty up there, and there's no way anyone can hide there." "Really? It's been so long, the person must have passed away a long time ago." Some uninformed people complained. "Just do what you are told to do. Why are you talking so much nonsense? Let's go." Soon, there was a sound of people coming down the stairs. Shi Chun stretched his head to look at the corridor outside the door, then slid back to the couch and leaned over to say, "Wait here first. I'll go up and take a look." Wu Jinliang nodded. Shi Chun immediately slipped out of the room, poked open the ceiling again and crawled up, then returned to his original position and looked down. Some of the search personnel were looking around in the lobby of the inn, while others followed out from the door. The group of people did not notice that one of their accomplices was missing. The leading figure came up to Bian Weiying and saluted, then said to Wei Bian, "We have searched the entire place, even the ground, and even the pillars and beams. No one is there. The person is definitely not here." Wei Bian quickly turned his head to look at the man who had gotten into the carriage earlier. The latter said awkwardly, "I really didn't see anyone coming out." Not to mention them, even the innkeeper and the waiter couldn't help but look at each other quietly, is the person really missing? I didn't see him come out, where did he go? The skinny man in green on the roof and Feng Chi covered in a cloak also felt strange. Judging from the response given by the innkeeper, the person should still be in the inn. Bian Weiying smiled and turned to look at the sign of Anle Inn. "That's really strange. Either you are blind, or there is a ghost in this building." She didn't hide from the rain. No matter how light the rain was, her body got wet after a long time. She turned her head and looked at the innkeeper with a smile on her face. The latter was helpless and didn't know how to explain. Wei Bian said angrily: "City Lord, I will lead them to search carefully again!" He knew very well that as soon as the assassin, Old Liu, died and he saw the two murderers escape into the inn, he immediately had people keep a close eye on the inn so as to wait for the city lord's next decision. He still trusted his men. Bian Weiying did not stop him.
