Chapter 252: Not Interested in Playing Chess
The boss didn't dare to look at the expressions on their faces. He told the officer privately that Master Decheng and his three companions did not go out at night.
The officer asked him, "They didn't leave the house. Can you guarantee that they won't jump out of the window or climb over the wall to get out?"
The host stared at the official with his mouth open. "They just wanted to go to Kunlun Mountain, and they said they came to Zhehui Town because they heard it from someone else."
“They said, “Do you believe it?”
The kidnapper's family has suffered so much. Don't block us. You are delaying our investigation. Shouldn't you let them stay in the inn for a few more days? ”
The officer pushed the boss with the handle of his knife, and the boss didn't dare to say anything at this time.
Master Decheng turned around and saw the pitiful look of the boss, he couldn't help laughing: "Boss, why are you more conflicted than us?
Are the police officers in your town not very capable in doing their jobs? ”
"Such a tragic incident has not happened in our town for many years. Usually the officials are very capable in doing their jobs."
"Since they are capable people, do you need to look so sad?"
"They are now suspicious of everyone who came to town these days, but you are all men."
Master Decheng and Master Shanzheng exchanged glances and asked the host: "How far is that place from here?"
The landlord pointed to the east and said, "Go past here, turn left, then go through an alley, turn left again, pass three or four houses, and turn right.
Well, let me think about the way. That's pretty much how it goes.
When we have nothing to do on weekdays, we rarely go to the east. ”
"Do you know that family?"
Shi Zelan curiously asked the host: "Are their families easy to get along with?"
"Yes, our town is only this big, and their family has lived in the town for almost 20 to 30 years."
"Aren't they the original inhabitants of this town?"
Shi Zelan originally wanted to continue asking, but Master Shanzheng had already shook his head at her.
The sun was quite warm, Shi Xiaoliu closed his eyes slightly, and Shi Zelan followed suit, closing her eyes to bask in the sun.
The host looked at the nonchalant expressions on the four of them and asked Master Decheng, "Master, aren't you in a hurry to get on with your journey?"
"Boss, do you know the legend about Kunlun Mountain in your town?"
"When I was a child, my ancestors told me that a few hundred years ago, a Taoist monk passed by our town and said that people who were going to Kunlun Mountain must come back to our town."
"Yes, we are here, and we have encountered such a disaster for no apparent reason, and we are also being suspected and suspected for no apparent reason."
Master Decheng was quite touched, and the boss didn't even dare to raise his head.
Shanzheng Zhenren looked at his boss who was looking down, and asked him for information: "Are there many passers-by in your town recently?"
The owner then slowly raised his head and thought seriously: "More.
I remembered that there weren't so many guests at this time of year in previous years. My inn is at the innermost part, and sometimes there were no guests for several days. ”
While he was speaking, Shitou came over with a family of nine people, big and small.
The boss stood up at once and said: "How come Shitou is such a lovable kid?"
The host went into the inn to arrange accommodation for the guests, and the three people including Master Decheng outside all breathed a sigh of relief.
Master Decheng sent a message to Master Shanzheng: "Should we go to the scene tonight and take a look?"
Shanzheng Zhenren thought about it seriously and said: "I won't go.
Let us just trust the local police's ability to investigate cases. ”
"Okay, less trouble is worse than more trouble."
After Shi Xiaoliu and Shi Zelan opened their eyes at the same time, Shi Xiaoliu asked Master Decheng and Master Shanzheng: "Master, Master, how about we stir-fry some vegetables for lunch today?"
Master Decheng and Master Shanzheng frowned at the same time, but thinking about the current situation, they could only nod and say, "Okay.
We still eat vegetable cakes in the evening.
We encountered such things for no reason, and we were in a bad mood and couldn't eat anything. ”
After a flurry of activity in the inn, it finally became less noisy.
The boss came out from the backyard, and Shitou came down from upstairs.
After the two met, Shitou whispered to the host, "Uncle, the upstairs is already full of people.
I'll ask the guests who came yesterday if they want me to take them to town for food. ”
The host reached out and patted him, lowering his voice and saying, "You are stupid. They shouldn't leave the inn at a time like this."
"Uncle, when someone comes to town, they can't just stay in our inn and not go out, right?"
“Did I not let them go out?
Isn't there a solution?
I am also thinking about them. If they stay in the inn peacefully, the officials will feel more at ease. ”
"Uncle, they just arrived yesterday. Even if the bad guys wanted to take action, they would have come a day or two in advance to check the situation.
It makes sense to take action as soon as you get there. You're not a fool. ”
"Get lost. We good people can guess what the bad guys do, and we are almost half bad too."
"Uncle, let me talk to them and see if I can bring them something to eat."
"You idiot, can't you let your aunt earn some hard work money?"
Shitou ran out and saw the four people including Decheng Zhenren sitting under the eaves. He went up to them and asked about their lunch arrangements.
Master Decheng said in boredom, "We can't just leave the inn for a while. We can't eat any delicious food you have."
Shitou blushed and said, "Uncle, the spring pancakes in our town are delicious. If you want to eat some, I'll buy them for you later."
Shi Zelan, who was listening, asked immediately: "What kind of pancake is spring pancake?"
After Shi Tou explained in detail how to make spring rolls, Shi Zelan's eyes suddenly brightened.
"Shi Tou, I want to eat spring roll skin, is that ok?"
Shitou touched his head and said, "Actually, the vegetable fillings here are also delicious."
Master Decheng took out a piece of silver and stuffed it into Shitou's pocket: "We need more than ten spring pancake wrappers to taste them first."
Shitou took the silver and said with a smile, "Okay, I'll go tell someone first and have them deliver it to you shortly."
After Shitou left, Master Decheng and Master Shanzheng smiled and said, "Okay, this is enough for Chinese food."
"Delicious, we'll continue eating spring rolls tomorrow."
Shi Zelan smiled and said, "I'll ask the hostess to buy some more vegetable soup. It will be delicious when eaten with spring roll skin."
Master Decheng looked at Master Shanzheng and said, "This child doesn't know how to enjoy delicious food."
Shanzheng Zhenren smiled and said, "That's great. Otherwise, where can I find so many delicious foods?"
Shi Xiaoliu and Shi Zelan exchanged glances. They naturally felt that someone was staring at them at the entrance of the alley.
Shi Xiaoliu smiled and said to Shi Zelan: "We have nothing to do anyway, why don't we play chess?"
Shi Zelan immediately shook his head: "I won't do this kind of brain-burning thing."
Shi Zelan had no talent for playing chess in both of his lives, and he had no interest in playing chess.
