Gospel of Lazy Cancer
Chapter 65
Jin Yiwei and his team were obviously dissatisfied with the outcome of the case, and believed that the captain's conclusion of the case was too hasty, and the death of the suspect did not mean the case was closed, but it might mean a bigger conspiracy.
But the lady proprietress in the inn had an alibi when the crime happened. Although the staff had no definite evidence to prove her innocence, the four of them did not leave the inn even half a step from the discovery of the scholar's body to the discovery of the remains of the scholar's wife. The proprietress was even more exaggerated , almost stuck to Pu Qianhu's body, and couldn't even be peeled off.This proves beyond a doubt that they had nothing to do with the woman's death.
Although they still couldn't get rid of the suspicion of murder, the clues had already been broken, and there was no way to track it down, so they could only give up and rest in peace.
At the same time, they all had a feeling of admiration for Mrs. Qianhu. Not everyone can bear such a coquettish proprietress. The voice of the sedan chair can make a man's heart hurt. And as far as they know, Although the two hug each other, they have not achieved good things so far. Master Qianhu's determination is really admirable.
The task assigned by the commander has not yet been completed. Even though Pu Jiayan was curious about the inside story of the murder and the origin of this inn, he decided to leave after most of the injuries improved obviously.
Yao Chen was eager for them to leave quickly, but his face had an expression that if you dare to leave, you will kill yourself.
"Sentimental since ancient times, free of hatred, the origin of good dreams is the easiest to wake up. Is it hard to get rid of the flowers, and the poor catkins are too wandering." The proprietress's eyebrows are slightly frowned, as if shrouded in infinite infatuation and melancholy.
Yao Chenai gripped the paw of the little wolf dog of Jinyiwei mournfully, put it to his mouth and kissed one finger at a time, and occasionally licked it with the tip of his tongue, which was very meaningful.
Pu Jiayan's eyes were dark, and he didn't resist or take the initiative. He asked, "Do you still decide to stay here?"
This is the third time he has explicitly asked Yao Chen to go with him.
The proprietress withdrew her obsequiousness, with a cynical smile on the corner of her mouth: "The businessman values profit and leaves, and you don't want me if you haven't eaten yet. If you leave me after leaving with you, who should I cry to?"
She left the rich man's body, and no longer clings to men like a vine man who is entangled with a big tree to survive. She lifted her Confucian skirt and turned around briskly.
"Look, how comfortable it is for me to run an inn by myself! A man comes when he is called, and leaves when he wants, and he can get together as he likes, and he can leave as he likes. I don't know how much happier I am than waiting around a lonely lamp and exhausting my youth. .”
After finishing speaking, the proprietress turned her head, looked at the handsome young man regretfully, waved her sleeves and left.
Park Jiayan watched the back of the proprietress disappear from sight, all kinds of emotions in his eyes surged, and finally calmed down, bottomless.
The next day, the team was ready to go. Before leaving, he glanced back at the inn, his eyes fell on the word "Worriless", sighed in his heart, and finally whipped his horse away.
"Close the door, guard the front and rear exits, and don't let anyone in."
When there were no outsiders in the inn, Yao Chen ordered the accountant and the cook.He asked the waiter to seal the windows and doors with a black cloth, and took a green glazed lamp.
That day when the corpse was rotten, he used lime and medicinal powder to disinfect the room to drive away evil spirits. By the way, he sprinkled a special powder on and around the corpse. This powder would fluoresce under the green light. If anyone touched it, You can see its trajectory.
In this world with lightness skills and internal strength, there are too many mysterious things, and Yao Chen doesn't understand the principle. Anyway, the accountant has prepared the medicine powder, as long as it can be used.
The reason why he did this was because he always felt that someone was staring at him in the dark these days, and the hairs all over his body were about to stand up, and he couldn't sit still.This is also the reason why he clings to the leader of the Jinyiwei, regardless of his face.Jin Yiwei's little wolf dog should be the most kung fu person in the inn, but he didn't even realize that the person who was secretly watching must be very kung fu, or there must be a secret method to hide his whereabouts.
When the captain interrogated him alone, Yao Chen made up a story, deliberately saying that in order to hook him up, the scholar once boasted that he had a priceless treasure, which was mysterious, but refused to reveal what it was.
That was the bait laid by Yao Chen, and if someone really heard this secretly, they would definitely go to check the corpse again, and they would be covered with this kind of powder.
Yao Chen really hoped that he was superstitious, otherwise he would have to face a terrifying opponent with high martial arts skills and bizarre means.
However, the brutal truth is, he was right again.
The green glazed lamp casts little traces, half a shoe print, some only a little, in the corners that ordinary people can't imagine, such as beams and railings.
The timid waiter began to tremble again. Under the eerie green light, he quickly made several hand gestures.
"Qinggong is higher than yours? Aren't you the number one snitch in the world?"
Waiter: Who said that the lightness skill of a snitch must be higher than that of other professions?
Yao Chen: The business level is poor, do you still have the face?
Waiter: Let's leave quickly!terrible!We can't keep such a master with a thousand scraps like us!
Yao Chen's left hand is Tangmen's most precious palm/heart/thunder, and his right hand is western flint instant fire blunderbuss. He wears a poisoned gold silk soft armor. His coat has a drug that can knock down ten elephants when touched, and the soles of his shoes hide bullets/ spring/blade.Fully armed, ghosts should be afraid of him.
The waiter held up the lamp for him, and the two walked cautiously to the place where the traces were concentrated.
Finally, it stopped in front of a stone wall whose height was only half a person's waist.
In the past of the waiter, I went through the empty door and saw all kinds of secret rooms, large and small. At this time, I couldn't help but marvel at the ingenuity of the mechanism. This wall looks simple at first glance, but it is actually made of different materials. The sound of knocking is different everywhere. The mechanism can only be triggered by hitting the wall with appropriate strength in the sequence set in sequence. He fiddled with the fluorescent traces for a long time before he successfully cracked it.
The wall moved slowly, revealing a tunnel.
Yao Chen and him looked at each other, and they both saw shock in each other's eyes. They stayed here for almost a year, but they didn't find any secret way!
Yao Chen felt that it didn't matter whether the scholar's case was solved or not. He finally saw the hope of completing his mission and returning to Beijing.
The Worriless Inn has existed since the former dynasty. The power behind it is a mystery and its purpose is unknown. 19 years ago, a woman claimed to be the proprietress of the Wuyou Inn and came to the Central Plains. It is said to be a peerless martial arts secret book, which caused a bloodbath in the rivers and lakes. Disputes between famous schools continued, and even temples were involved. Jin Yiwei went to investigate but lost a lot of manpower. The first emperor was furious, personally intervened, and ordered a strict investigation.Later, the proprietress disappeared mysteriously, her life and death were unknown, and her treasures were also gone.
A year ago, Dongchang suddenly received a secret report that someone claimed to have seen the proprietress reappear in the Central Plains with their own eyes. The news has not yet been confirmed, but it has attracted various forces in the Western Regions and Jianghu.
Dongchang got very little information, only a portrait of the proprietress of the Wuyou Inn when she was young. Because Yao Chen looks somewhat similar to her, especially the eyes and tear moles, Governor Cao of Dongchang personally named him as the proprietress, and made him Bring a group of carefully selected people to the Wuyou Inn to lead the snake out of the hole.
How difficult is it to build an inn in the desert?
Although it is called sand like river sand, in the sand sea, there is so much sand that it cannot be used as a building material.The sand in the desert has small particles, poor water absorption and fixing ability, and long-term weathering also makes the sand hollow inside. Even if you barely build a house, it is easy to collapse.Moreover, the climate in the desert is harsh, with little precipitation, long sunshine hours, and excessive salinity in the sand. Long-term weathering will also cause many harmful substances to adhere to the sand surface, causing harm to the human body.
Therefore, all the materials for the construction of the inn have to be transported from afar, and this does not take into account the additional difficulty of building a house in an extreme environment.
This is also one of the reasons why ordinary people think this Wuyou Inn is weird. How much business can be done here?Compared with the initial investment, you can lose everything!
This inn looks simple, with a two-story wooden structure, but actually the bottom is paved with huge stones, which is very stable.Such a small inn, the amount of work is also very large.
Now it is also found that the secret passage of the agency, both the construction cost and the difficulty of the project, have increased exponentially, and it cannot be built without the efforts of a small western country.
This shows the power behind the original owner of the inn.
If there is an opportunity, Yao Chen would like to invite the chief designer and craftsmen of this project to work, so that he can challenge such miraculous projects as the Leaning Tower of Pisa, Sky Garden, and Submarine Tunnel.However, according to the customs of the Jianghu people, they are likely to be silenced.
Alas, what a waste of talent!
At this moment, Yao Chen was lost in thought as he faced the entrance of the secret passage.
Looking inside from the entrance, the inside was as bright as day. It turned out that there were night pearls with a diameter the size of a hand arranged on every section of the wall of the secret passage. The two turned off the glazed lamps and looked at each other.
The waiter showed a struggling face, his eyes glanced at the wall from time to time, and he could eat and drink for ten years just by digging a bead, he almost couldn't control himself as a thief, because if you have money, you have to spend your life!They work on it every day, and rest on it every night, completely unaware that someone is coming in and out, and the other party can quietly send them to see the King of Hades in their sleep, just thinking about it makes one's hair stand on end.
Yao Chen felt that as long as they didn't bump into that master directly, they were basically safe. He was mainly worried that there would be no way out. He could find a way in, but couldn't find a way out, and would be suffocated and starved to death.
"You guard the entrance, I'll go in and check."
Yao Chen made a decisive decision. He walked into the secret passage. Considering the amount of work, he thought that the underground space should not be very large. Sure enough, the inside was not very complicated. With his excellent memory, he remembered the places he walked through Every road, including how many steps you took, how many times you turned.
There are several roads inside, one leads to Wuyou Lake, and there are several roads that he didn't have time to explore, because he accidentally saw a living person in a room, and almost passed by with a palm/heart/thunder.
He knew that person, it was the scholar's wife whom everyone thought was dead.She was sitting motionless with her back against the wall, and she must have been tapped.She had changed her clothes at this time, and the old clothes were put on a female corpse. Li Daitao was stiff, making others think that she was dead, so no further investigation.
The other party was conscious and surprised to see him. His eyes widened. Although he was vigilant and shocked, he did not show much fear. His eyes even burst out with hope for help. This reaction showed that he still remembered the inn proprietress.
Yao Chen tried to help her untie the acupoint, but his skill was too weak to untie it at all.
He looked at the woman apologetically, and the latter's eyes dimmed.
"I'm sorry I can't solve it for the time being, but I will try my best to get you out. When I ask you, if you blink, you blink once, or twice. Can you understand?"
The woman blinked.
"The Yinchuan army is looking for the missing garrison daughter, is it you?" This is what the captain told him. The garrison lost his daughter and lost the city defense map. He didn't dare to say anything, but ordered his subordinates to search secretly.Yao Chen had seen the portrait, and was already eight or nine percent sure of the woman's identity. Now asking this question was not only to reassure her, but also to comfort her, reassure her, and win her trust.
The woman's complexion really improved a lot, and her attitude was very cooperative.
"That scholar kidnapped you?"
Yes.
"You killed the scholar?"
No.
"The person who locked you here killed the scholar?"
Yes.
"Do you know when he will be back?"
No.
"Their goal is the Yinchuan City Defense Map?"
Didn't blink.
Don't know, or can't answer?
Yao Chen didn't have time to think about it, every second of delay here would be more dangerous, so he sprinkled some off-white powder on the woman.
"Think of a way to let the captors touch the skin of these powders. It can make people lose their internal strength and fall into a coma, so I have a chance to rescue you. Do you understand?"
The woman blinked her eyes, maybe because she had been staring at her eyes for too long, or because she had survived a desperate situation, her eye sockets were a little wet, and her eyelashes were stained with tears.
"Be careful, I'm going first."
Fortunately, no one behind the scenes showed up before Yao Chen restored everything in the inn to normal.
The inn received a few waves of business travelers in the afternoon. They seemed to have heard about the murder and left after taking a break during the day. Even if there were a few who had to stay overnight due to the weather, they would rather choose a room on the first floor than live on the second floor. go upstairs.
Among them, there was a lone Jianghu person, a man of high art and boldness, who chose the room next to the proprietress.
Yao Chen couldn't help but look at him more.
The man with white face and beard, handsome appearance, personable, dressed in green robes of scribes, practicing internal energy seems to have the effect of anti-aging and youthful, just looking at his appearance can not tell the age.He has the temperament of a superior person, giving people a sense of strategizing, resourcefulness, and exuding the flavor of a mature man.
Yao Chen had seen a similar aura of authority in the governor of the imperial court. This person was stronger and fiercer than him.
not to be trifled.
The accountant had issued a warning cough that made everyone feel uncomfortable for him.
Yao Chen is not of the temperament of doing nothing, and he doesn't want to provoke the other party.
But the tree wants to be quiet but the wind doesn't stop, but the man is very interested in the proprietress.
"Miss Boss, can I speak alone?"
The moonlight is as cool as water, and the stars are in the crowd.
The proprietress invited people to her room, because it had the most complete traps and poisons, and the others were amazed, and there was another guest entering the scene.
The two sat opposite each other, before Yao Chen could speak, the other party spoke first.
"Sister Jian, please stay safe."
Yao Chen subconsciously wanted to say, Uncle, that you have identified the wrong person, but as a conscientious and dedicated spy, his brain was working fast, and he first ruled out the possibility that the other party would use this as an excuse to strike up a conversation.From the address point of view, the other party called the lady proprietress "Sister Jian", while others only knew the name of the lady proprietress of the Wuyou Inn, and no one knew the name of the lady proprietress, could it be Jane?Or have abbreviations in the name?The age of the man in front of me is estimated to be between 35 and 45. It is very likely that he is an old acquaintance of the former inn proprietress. The relationship is not bad, and it has been a long time since I saw him.
But he is obviously only in his twenties, and this can be misleading, is he lame?
Therefore, there are two possibilities. One is that the proprietress herself is very skilled and she is also the one who has the ability to accommodate, which was not mentioned in the previous intelligence of Dongchang; the other is that the other party has recognized that she is not the original proprietress and is testing Own.
"Why can't I understand what you said." Yao Chen was telling the truth.
The man seemed to have expected that the proprietress would not obediently admit his identity, and said: "Since you have decided to return to this Wuyou Inn, you should know that we will find you sooner or later, and why did you know why today?" A faint sigh.
Yao Chen hit the wall: I can't understand the plot without the synopsis! !
He can only rely on the information revealed by the other party, combined with the information that was not true or false many years ago, make guesses, add a little basic deductive method, and try his best to support it.
The proprietress once left the Wuyou Inn and did something wrong. This is in line with the fact that she came to the Central Plains from outside the customs 19 years ago. From the tone of the man’s mouth, it can be heard that the faction he belongs to has been looking for the proprietress, probably because of the legendary proprietress. However, the proprietress didn't want to hand it over, so she never showed up, or died, or kept her name incognito.Then, it should be right for him to continue to pretend to be stupid, and the other party will continue to try to convince him that he can get more information from it.
Yao Chen said, "So what if it is? So what if it isn't?"
His words were ambiguous, and each word was repeated in his mind no less than a hundred times.
"I wasn't sure about your identity at first, but I was only sure after hearing what you said to that fan."
Sure enough, someone was secretly watching and eavesdropping!
But I talked a lot with Jinyiwei little wolf dog, which sentence are you referring to?
Fortunately, he didn't let Yao Chen continue to guess, and then said: "You can get together as you like, and you can break up as you like. This is exactly what you have in mind. The formula of forgetting love, 'The most emotional and the most sexual, it takes a lot of effort. Only by forgetting love can you be invincible.' Why are you acting so vainly now that you have no inner strength?"
This man and the proprietress are familiar with each other, even the proprietress's skills are clear, but he did not recognize that he is not the proprietress, he should have little contact with the proprietress, is he deliberately approaching the proprietress for the sake of the treasure to play the emotional card?Do the lady boss and this man belong to the same faction?Is he the master who killed the scholar, kidnapped the guard's daughter, and knew the secret room of the Wuyou Inn?
Forget it, take a gamble...
Yao Chen didn't answer the other party's question, and couldn't answer it. He changed his evasive tone and asked aggressively.
"The woman in the secret passage, were you locked in?"
But the lady proprietress in the inn had an alibi when the crime happened. Although the staff had no definite evidence to prove her innocence, the four of them did not leave the inn even half a step from the discovery of the scholar's body to the discovery of the remains of the scholar's wife. The proprietress was even more exaggerated , almost stuck to Pu Qianhu's body, and couldn't even be peeled off.This proves beyond a doubt that they had nothing to do with the woman's death.
Although they still couldn't get rid of the suspicion of murder, the clues had already been broken, and there was no way to track it down, so they could only give up and rest in peace.
At the same time, they all had a feeling of admiration for Mrs. Qianhu. Not everyone can bear such a coquettish proprietress. The voice of the sedan chair can make a man's heart hurt. And as far as they know, Although the two hug each other, they have not achieved good things so far. Master Qianhu's determination is really admirable.

She left the rich man's body, and no longer clings to men like a vine man who is entangled with a big tree to survive. She lifted her Confucian skirt and turned around briskly.
"Look, how comfortable it is for me to run an inn by myself! A man comes when he is called, and leaves when he wants, and he can get together as he likes, and he can leave as he likes. I don't know how much happier I am than waiting around a lonely lamp and exhausting my youth. .”
After finishing speaking, the proprietress turned her head, looked at the handsome young man regretfully, waved her sleeves and left.
Park Jiayan watched the back of the proprietress disappear from sight, all kinds of emotions in his eyes surged, and finally calmed down, bottomless.
The next day, the team was ready to go. Before leaving, he glanced back at the inn, his eyes fell on the word "Worriless", sighed in his heart, and finally whipped his horse away.

Among them, there was a lone Jianghu person, a man of high art and boldness, who chose the room next to the proprietress.
Yao Chen couldn't help but look at him more.
The man with white face and beard, handsome appearance, personable, dressed in green robes of scribes, practicing internal energy seems to have the effect of anti-aging and youthful, just looking at his appearance can not tell the age.He has the temperament of a superior person, giving people a sense of strategizing, resourcefulness, and exuding the flavor of a mature man.
Yao Chen had seen a similar aura of authority in the governor of the imperial court. This person was stronger and fiercer than him.
not to be trifled.
The accountant had issued a warning cough that made everyone feel uncomfortable for him.
Yao Chen is not of the temperament of doing nothing, and he doesn't want to provoke the other party.
But the tree wants to be quiet but the wind doesn't stop, but the man is very interested in the proprietress.
"Miss Boss, can I speak alone?"
The moonlight is as cool as water, and the stars are in the crowd.
The proprietress invited people to her room, because it had the most complete traps and poisons, and the others were amazed, and there was another guest entering the scene.
The two sat opposite each other, before Yao Chen could speak, the other party spoke first.
"Sister Jian, please stay safe."
Yao Chen subconsciously wanted to say, Uncle, that you have identified the wrong person, but as a conscientious and dedicated spy, his brain was working fast, and he first ruled out the possibility that the other party would use this as an excuse to strike up a conversation.From the address point of view, the other party called the lady proprietress "Sister Jian", while others only knew the name of the lady proprietress of the Wuyou Inn, and no one knew the name of the lady proprietress, could it be Jane?Or have abbreviations in the name?The age of the man in front of me is estimated to be between 35 and 45. It is very likely that he is an old acquaintance of the former inn proprietress. The relationship is not bad, and it has been a long time since I saw him.
But he is obviously only in his twenties, and this can be misleading, is he lame?
Therefore, there are two possibilities. One is that the proprietress herself is very skilled and she is also the one who has the ability to accommodate, which was not mentioned in the previous intelligence of Dongchang; the other is that the other party has recognized that she is not the original proprietress and is testing Own.
"Why can't I understand what you said." Yao Chen was telling the truth.
The man seemed to have expected that the proprietress would not obediently admit his identity, and said: "Since you have decided to return to this Wuyou Inn, you should know that we will find you sooner or later, and why did you know why today?" A faint sigh.
Yao Chen hit the wall: I can't understand the plot without the synopsis! !
He can only rely on the information revealed by the other party, combined with the information that was not true or false many years ago, make guesses, add a little basic deductive method, and try his best to support it.
The proprietress once left the Wuyou Inn and did something wrong. This is in line with the fact that she came to the Central Plains from outside the customs 19 years ago. From the tone of the man’s mouth, it can be heard that the faction he belongs to has been looking for the proprietress, probably because of the legendary proprietress. However, the proprietress didn't want to hand it over, so she never showed up, or died, or kept her name incognito.Then, it should be right for him to continue to pretend to be stupid, and the other party will continue to try to convince him that he can get more information from it.
Yao Chen said, "So what if it is? So what if it isn't?"
His words were ambiguous, and each word was repeated in his mind no less than a hundred times.
"I wasn't sure about your identity at first, but I was only sure after hearing what you said to that fan."
Sure enough, someone was secretly watching and eavesdropping!
But I talked a lot with Jinyiwei little wolf dog, which sentence are you referring to?
Fortunately, he didn't let Yao Chen continue to guess, and then said: "You can get together as you like, and you can break up as you like. This is exactly what you have in mind. The formula of forgetting love, 'The most emotional and the most sexual, it takes a lot of effort. Only by forgetting love can you be invincible.' Why are you acting so vainly now that you have no inner strength?"
This man and the proprietress are familiar with each other, even the proprietress's skills are clear, but he did not recognize that he is not the proprietress, he should have little contact with the proprietress, is he deliberately approaching the proprietress for the sake of the treasure to play the emotional card?Do the lady boss and this man belong to the same faction?Is he the master who killed the scholar, kidnapped the guard's daughter, and knew the secret room of the Wuyou Inn?
Forget it, take a gamble...
Yao Chen didn't answer the other party's question, and couldn't answer it. He changed his evasive tone and asked aggressively.
"The woman in the secret passage, were you locked in?"
