Chapter 438: Braised Pork with Sauce
This carpet is very large and takes up almost half of the room.
But upon closer inspection, its style doesn't seem to match the antique charm of this room?
Annan leaned to the side, grabbed a corner of the carpet and lifted it up.
Then I saw black bloodstains all over the floor covered by the carpet.
Based on the different shades of blood, Annan concluded that the blood was not from the same group of people. It seemed that her guess was right. This room was not a good place.
There was so much blood, but why didn't Fugui react at all? His dog nose was always the most sensitive.
Annan turned his head and saw Fugui staring at a wall intently, sniffing at it from time to time.
Is there something wrong with this wall?
Annan looked at the direction and found that this wall was the one shared between this room and the next door.
An idea suddenly occurred to her, and she walked over and knocked around with her hands - the sound in one place was obviously different from the others.
She continued to knock with her hands, trying to find the scope of this abnormality. After knocking a few times, she found that this shape... seemed to be a door?
Annan touched it carefully with his hand and could indeed feel a very tiny gap. Although it was not very obvious, he was sure that it was a door.
It turns out that the cat stuff in this room is that there is a secret door inside that connects to the next room.
She tried to push it with her hand, but it wouldn't open. She looked around but couldn't find any activation mechanism.
Yes, this door is convenient for the proprietress and her friends to sneak into the room in the middle of the night, and they must open the door from her side of the room.
This couple is very smart.
Sleeping and going to the toilet are the two times when people are most vulnerable. Even the most powerful people can be easily taken advantage of.
If you sleep in this room, someone will sneak in through the secret door in the middle of the night and kill you silently.
I just don't know why the couple didn't arrange for Fang Yaoyao and his family to live here, but wanted her and Gu Zhiyu to live here. Is it because they look more difficult to deal with?
Also, what exactly do this couple want to do?
If the purpose was to kill for money, they could have just put Fang Yaoyao and the others in this room, killed them secretly in the middle of the night and robbed their supplies. Why did they still have to provide them with food and drink?
Where did Shen Ao go? If he was killed, why were the two girls left behind?
There were too many questions, and Annan was concentrating on thinking, but he saw Fugui suddenly turned around vigilantly, looking at the door, and became restless.
Soon, the creaking sound of stairs could be heard faintly from outside.
Someone is coming upstairs.
Annan reacted very quickly and put the carpet back in its place, then put the dog into the space and flashed back to her and Gu Zhiyu's room.
Because the distance was quite far, she flashed three times and passed through two empty rooms before returning to her own room.
Gu Zhiyu saw Annan suddenly appear and put down the book in his hand.
"How are you? Are you not hurt?"
Annan shook his head: "No."
Then he finally saw the cover of the book he had been reading.
"After Conquering the Overlord, I Gave 7 Treasures"
Annan: ...
Where did he find this book? !
I saw him reading it with great interest before, and I thought it was some kind of poetry or prose...
Annan opened his mouth and was about to say something when he heard footsteps outside slowly approaching their room.
Soon, the proprietress's voice came: "Sister, open the door, I'll bring you some more thick quilts."
Annan and Gu Zhiyu looked at each other.
The thick quilts for the beds are not light. This kind of work should be done by the male boss, but the one who came was the boss's wife.
It seemed that the other party was really anxious. Seeing that Gu Zhiyu had not shown up for a long time, he actually came to the door in person.
Annan originally wanted to refuse directly, but when he thought about it, they didn't bring any large luggage with them when they came. It stands to reason that they would not be short of quilts in such a cold day.
So I said, "Thank you, you can leave it outside first. My boyfriend is still sleeping."
The proprietress was a little unwilling: "It's okay, just open the door, I'll bring the quilt to you and leave, I won't wake him up."
Annan still refused: "No need. Just wait at the door, and we'll bring it in when he wakes up."
The landlady hesitated for a while, but still did not put down the quilt:
"Then I'll take it back first, and I'll come back to give it to your boyfriend when he wakes up. Otherwise, if the quilt is left in the hallway like this, it will soon become cold and won't be warm enough."
That's a pretty strong reason.
However, after this incident, Annan confirmed his guess.
This worm must need the boss lady to meet the man who was trapped. Seeing how anxious the boss lady was, she wanted to go through the wall and meet Gu Zhiyu.
Annan curled his lips, lowered his voice, and said unceremoniously: "I asked you to put the quilt at the door, do you understand?"
It was the same sentence "Do you understand?" The landlady immediately remembered the scene where Annan pulled out a gun downstairs. She bit her lip and put the quilt down.
"Okay, I'll open the door for you."
Annan hummed and ordered coldly: "Don't come near our room again. I will come to you if I need anything."
It's just a mystery! Who wouldn't do that?
It won't let you get close, it makes you guess, makes you anxious, makes you feel anxious and upset.
Soon there was no sound outside. After Annan was sure that she had left, he gave Gu Zhiyu a general account of what he had just discovered.
After listening to this, Gu Zhiyu guessed, "They should have other accomplices."
Annan nodded: "I think so too."
This couple should be responsible for deceiving and arresting people, but besides them, there must be other people who are specifically responsible for dealing with the people they catch.
Shen Ao disappeared last night and was definitely not in the inn. The couple had no time to transfer and deal with him, so it was highly likely that there were accomplices of the couple outside the inn.
Finally, the two decided that Gu Zhiyu should stay in the room to force them to worry and expose their true colors.
Anyway, they were safe in the RV. Even if they encountered any special situation, such as a fire in the house, she could just put the RV and the people into the space.
The inn was very quiet for the rest of the afternoon.
At night, a strong smell of meat suddenly came from downstairs.
The landlady came and knocked on the door again:
"Sister, dinner is stewed meat with soy sauce. You can come down and eat together! Don't worry, it's free."
After a pause, he emphasized, "I heard that you like to eat pork elbows with sauce! I'm sure you will be satisfied with this meal."
Annan and Gu Zhiyu looked at each other.
Forget the bacon, but where did the stew come from? There was no functioning refrigerator in the inn.
