It is not surprising that there are many inns in a town like Jixiang with such a large population, but the problem is that if the inn has such a bad smell, how can people be willing to stay there?
Qin Yuesheng, feeling something strange, held his breath and walked into the inn, adhering to the principle of not letting go of any clues, intending to check the specific situation.
As soon as he walked into the inn, he saw a group of big men wearing bowler hats sitting at the square tables in the lobby eating noodles. Qin Yuesheng attracted their attention as soon as he walked in. These people looked over with extremely vigilant eyes.
Qin Yuesheng naturally looked at them without any hesitation. The styles of the hats these people wore were very typical of the northern style. No one in the Central Plains or the south would wear such hats.
Looking at their attire, it is obvious that the weather in Jiangnan is hot right now, with sunny days and scorching sun, but these people are all wearing cashmere short coats, not afraid of catching prickly heat.
"Sir, are you here for a meal or to stay overnight?" The waiter behind the counter hurried out to greet him.
"Why is it so smelly here? The whole place is filled with the stinky smell of animals." Qin Yuesheng asked.
"Hehehe..." The waiter suddenly let out a bitter smile that was hard to describe. "A while ago, a group of northerners came to our inn. They brought a large herd of cattle, sheep, and donkeys from Nanzhou, intending to bring them back north for breeding. Now they're all being kept in our backyard. Don't you think the smell wouldn't be overwhelming?"
"Some time ago?" Qin Yuesheng immediately became concerned. "Is it the same time as the days when children started disappearing in Jixiang Town?"
"That's not the case." The waiter shook his head. "These northerners arrived earlier. When they were staying at the inn, this incident hadn't happened yet."
Qin Yuesheng glanced at the people who were eating noodles and asked, "Are they them?"
"Yes, sir, are you staying here for a meal or staying overnight?"
Qin Yuesheng grabbed the waiter's shoulders and dragged him to the backyard.
"Hey! Hey! Sir, what are you doing?"
"Stop talking nonsense. I'm an official from Qingyang City. If you don't cooperate with me, I can take you back to the Qingyang City Jail at any time." Qin Yuesheng ordered, "Take me to your backyard to take a look."
"Are you a police officer?" The waiter looked Qin Yuesheng up and down with suspicion, but he didn't look like a police officer at all.
Bang!
Qin Yuesheng slapped the wall next to him, and suddenly a palm print three fingers deep appeared on the wall made purely of stones.
"Do you think your head is as hard as this wall? If you don't lead the way, I will hit you on the head." Qin Yuesheng said.
"Sir, please come this way. Sir, please come this way." The waiter shuddered all over and didn't dare to say any more nonsense. He immediately took Qin Yuesheng to the backyard.
Just as this person said, the backyard of the inn was indeed temporarily filled with all kinds of cattle, sheep and donkeys, like a livestock farm.
Various animal feces and excrement were scattered on the ground, which was the source of the pungent and foul smell.
Qin Yuesheng took out the Fox Eyes and the Evil-Repelling Toad to check, but there was no reaction.
"What are you doing? Get out of here." At this moment, a big man holding a rake in his hand suddenly walked over from the side, looked at Qin Yuesheng and the others vigilantly and shouted.
Where this person was walking, there was a pile of grass half a person's height. It was probably used as food for the cattle, sheep and donkeys.
"Sir, this is our local official, here to investigate a case. Please be careful with your words." The waiter hurried over and reminded him.
The people do not fight against the officials, let alone these outsiders.
But the big man didn't take the waiter's words to heart at all. Looking at his fierce face, it seemed that he was used to acting recklessly in his daily life and didn't even take the police seriously.
"Whether you are a police officer or not, get out. This place has been booked by us a long time ago. Even police officers cannot come in. Get out, get out." The big man came over with a rake and was about to drive people away.
However, it would be fine if he had behaved in a frank and respectful manner, but his excited behavior made Qin Yuesheng wonder if he had something to hide, which was why he acted so extreme.
Thinking of this, Qin Yuesheng, who originally didn't plan to stay long, decided not to leave. He had to stay and investigate the matter further.
"Get out, get out." Seeing Qin Yuesheng standing still, the big man stretched out his hand and pushed him.
The moment he was about to touch Qin Yuesheng's shoulder, the big man flew backwards like a rolling gourd and fell into the cow dung in an extremely embarrassing posture.
Qin Yuesheng smiled secretly. After he reached the third level of internal strength, his internal strength became more condensed. The force generated by it was no less than a punch of several hundred pounds. This person was unaware and unprepared, and was directly hit by his secret move.
"Ah!" Seeing himself covered in cow dung, the man suddenly became furious. His face instantly turned red as if he was humiliated. He stood up, picked up his rake, jumped up, and smashed it down towards Qin Yuesheng with all his strength, not considering whether this blow would kill him.
The big man was covered in cow dung, and Qin Yuesheng didn't want to give him another chance to get close to him, so he immediately threw a punch containing his internal force. The internal force carried a terrifying punch force with the wind, and the rake twisted in an instant, and the whole handle shattered instantly. The big man couldn't withstand Qin Yuesheng's internal force at all, and immediately fell five or six feet away, and hit an old cow directly.
"Mou!" The old cow fled to the side in fear, and the entire backyard suddenly fell into chaos.
