After letting Mu Lingdie put on his clothes, Ye Cheng sat in front of the window frame and listened to a few new recordings. He confirmed that the person who contacted the owner of the inn was Guo Chao, but based on the time he looked at the location, the extreme difference in time should have been around a year or so. The most frequent time was two years ago when Guo Chao left something here.
The boss of the inn died from greed, from the last recording, it appeared as the third person, suspected that the killer wanted to retrieve the item Guo Chao left behind, but did not succeed.
"The owner of the inn died after the Fishery Island swallowed him up. At that time, Guo Chao was already Gui Ba, how did he contact the owner? "Now that the owner of the inn is dead, the items are missing and the hotel has been resold. Hubby, I haven't found any clues for a long time today, I just found a few new footprints. What should I do?"
Looking at the pitiful and sad Mu Lingdie, Ye Cheng pulled her into his embrace. Why didn't he notice it? The new footprints were the best discovery! It means that someone often goes back to the crime scene and uses your little brain to think about it. Who would eat their fill and run into the wilderness everyday without a job? "
Mu Lingdie exclaimed, and instantly jumped up from the bed. You mean the killer? "
"I am not sure if he is an assassin, but this person must be related to the death of the inn owner. Furthermore, I have not found the item that Guo Chao handed to the owner.
Ye Cheng pulled Mu Lingdie back to his side and did a silent action. The two of them took a deep breath and listened to what was happening. The sound of very light footsteps could be heard in the corridor. He did not stop even for a moment as he walked in and closed the door a few steps.
"You're back? So fast, it's only been half an hour. " Mu Lingdie blinked his eyes in shock and asked.
"Your husband, I, have bright eyes. He will be a good helper and a strong opponent."
Mu Lingdie saw the excitement on Ye Cheng's face, but his smile made people think that he was not thinking about anything good. Therefore, he used his elbow to poke behind him fiercely. He glared fiercely and warned, "In the future, if you dare to show this kind of expression, I'll shave your face."
Ye Cheng was so resentful that he turned his body around and fiercely pressed Mu Lingdie down on his body. "Woman, you're so vicious, you want me to make a fool of myself, how long have you been planning this?"
Mu Lingdie began to giggle as he bent his legs to suppress Ye Cheng and replied: "I've been planning for a long time, what can you do to me?"
After a fierce battle, Ye Cheng had taken care of this strong little demoness. After a short moment of panting, not only did he love this little girl, he also cooperated with her every time.
Picking up the soft Mu Lingdie, the two of them sat in the bathtub, enjoying the rare moment of tranquility.
"Do you know where Xiao Miao is?"
"Yes, there were reports about him on both the underworld and the White Way, but their whereabouts were unknown. However, most of them were still alive, and there were no grave cases either." Mu Lingdie shook his head, disappearing into thin air by himself was indeed strange, there were no obvious signs of people leaving or leaving the country, the possibility of him entering or leaving the Hong Kong Island was very high. I need a little more time. "
"You haven't left the country, and you can't find anyone. Your information might be misleading." Ye Cheng, who had a long experience in anti-reconnaissance, warned Yun Che. There are many sources of information, and it is inevitable that some people will take advantage of the loopholes and send people to investigate after the information is streamlined. The two might have a breakthrough! "
Mu Lingdie turned around, causing the water in the bathtub to gush out. She laid on Ye Cheng's chest without caring, and her little eyes that were filled with worship flashed with a fiery light.
"Why are you looking at me like that? I'm exhausted, don't even think about... "Ahhh!" Ye Cheng shouted as he held onto his neck. "Bite me!"
Mu Lingdie mischievously nodded his head. "It's necessary. This way, you will remember me, and I will remember you as well. Hubby is the best!"
At noon the next day, when the sun was almost at his buttocks, he got up from his bed. It was a sunny day, and the air was fresh. When he stretched, he found that the car in the yard was gone.
Ye Chen borrowed the car and returned it to them in three days. In other words, they would be staying here for three days.
Ye Cheng smiled as he tore the note into pieces, and then began to busy himself within the kitchen.
Outside the kitchen, a villager looked around. When his gaze met with Ye Cheng's, he suddenly turned and left, his actions extremely strange.
Ye Cheng remembered this person, when he was hiding here before, this old fellow often brought food to Old Master Chen and the others, but seeing that there was someone living in the house, he came over to investigate. Thinking of this, Ye Cheng continued to cook breakfast for Mu Lingdie, since there would be someone to spread the news for him, if he was willing, he would come knocking on his door again.
After sleeping for a while, Ye Cheng took Mu Lingdie out for a sightseeing trip. They then went to the town to buy food.
Mu Lingdie immediately recognized that this person was the coachman who drove her and Qiao Yingzhe previously, so he walked forward and patted him on the shoulder. Then, he left the person half dead, and just as he was about to scold him, he changed his face when he found out that it was a beauty.
"Do you still recognize me?"
The driver exclaimed, this woman who called him yet had the guts to talk to him, but did not know how to respond. She carefully looked at Ye Cheng who was beside Mu Lingdie, if she recognized him, then she would probably be beaten up, but if she did not, then it would be missing a chance to get close to him.
"It looks a little familiar. Have you been here before?" After pondering for half the night, the coachman found a more neutral word to reply.
"I've been here before, or was I in your car when you drove me out of the mountain. Don't you remember?" Mu Lingdie pushed the carriage driver, and under the gravity, he dispelled the evil thoughts of the carriage driver.
Because he had such a deep memory, when the carriage driver thought of Mu Lingdie, he did not dare to think about anything bad. "Hmm, so it's you. I was wondering where in our town such a beautiful woman could be found. But look at the look of this different gentleman, I don't dare to recognize him."
"Stop bullshitting me, I'm asking you why are you sneaking around here?" From far away, you're just looking around the hotel, wanting to be a thief! " Mu Lingdie was quite familiar with the coachman, firstly, the coachman was easy to talk to, and secondly, Qiao Yingzhe knew how to conduct public relations, he was like an old friend when he came and went.
"Aiyo, hey! Little sis, you can't say that!" It's been a long time since you've come here to pick wind, so you don't know much. Let's go, your elder brother will buy you some sweet water and slowly listen to your elder brother's detailed explanation. "
Ye Cheng followed behind him, listening to the man's words, it was very playful. He often saw this man bringing guests to do business and live in the mountains, the one above them, the one from the village, had long taken over Qiao Yingzhe's job from him, the two of them had even drank wine together, but they were both unrecognizable, probably unable to recognize him.
Ever since Mu Lingdie and the others left, there were many accidents in the mountain, causing people to be anxious. When the inn was being run away, this family seemed to have gotten struck by evil spirits and several people died in succession. Everyone in the village said that they encountered some unclean things, and if they continued, it would affect the entire village, causing them to be kicked out.
He couldn't bear to leave the inn, but he had nowhere to go, so he happened to meet an outsider who came to explore. Seeing that the hotel business was good, he bought it at a low price and transferred it to the locals to take care of it.
The carriage driver looked at Mu Lingdie and Ye Cheng and said: "I heard that the inn owner doesn't want to continue any longer and wants to mess things up. Since today is the day to collect rent, I wanted to ask for a few words, so I ended up getting targeted by the two of you."
"Where did that family move to previously? It can't be that they all died out!" Mu Lingdie did not care about the coachman's gaze, but Ye Cheng noticed that the coachman's eyes were filled with greed and anticipation.
The driver roared twice, then took the cigarette Ye Cheng passed to him and smoked a few mouthfuls with all his might. From the looks of it, he seemed to be satisfied and was just like an old tobacco gun. You are such a sweet talker! Although the people from the Old Liu family did not die, there aren't many remaining. "
"How did he die?"
The driver glanced at Ye Cheng, and with a cigarette in his mouth, he rubbed his fingers a few times in front of the two. Ye Cheng chuckled as he took out a few large bills from his wallet and stuffed them into the driver's hands. You can't drag down a single word. "
"Very generous!" The coachman put the money in his pocket and leaned over to the two and whispered, "Since the last time I saw you, a girl like you is no ordinary person. Do you work in plain clothes?"
"Take money to talk, don't ask what you shouldn't ask." Mu Lingdie loved to act the most. Seeing the coachman's mouth full of playthings, she was also happy to play around with him.
"Yes, yes, yes!" "I shouldn't have asked." The coachman slapped himself in the face. This gangster act was even more reasonable than television.
"I don't need to talk about how the Old Liu died, this girl knows." Originally, the Old Liu family did not have the backbone. His wife saw that the child intended to remarry, so they agreed on it. Who knew that Shang Liang died that night? "
The driver was probably afraid that Mu Lingdie wouldn't understand, so he covered his mouth and added, "Suicide!"
"Eh?" Ye Cheng exclaimed. In the countryside, when a husband died, it was not surprising for the wife to take the child and marry him to an outer village. What did the police say? "
"Hur hur, the police here are awesome, it's hard to say." The driver snorted disdainfully when he mentioned the police. He rolled up the cigarette and blew it towards Ye Cheng. The smell of your cigarette is too light. Smoke from me and the smoke is strong, this cigarette was obtained from a customer in the past in Old Liu, it's a treasure. "
"You know the innkeeper very well."
"Not really, my friend, his family lives next door to mine. Husband and wife often quarrel, and if you have nothing to do, then just come here to eat. People are insatiably greedy, and no one in the village likes to interact with him." "The driver smirked disdainfully. I have to say something, it's not that I'm speaking ill of the dead, this Old Liu is originally one of our special forces, he didn't even know that when he came back from his mountain, he opened an inn, ah! "
Pah pah pah! Mu Lingdie knocked on the table and shouted: "The more you talk, the more crooked he becomes. He did not let you talk about other people's matters. Didn't I remember that there was a cousin who went to the shop before? "
The son and wife died, no one took care of the child, so the old lady sold the child to the neighboring village. The old lady sold the child to the next village, took a few thousand dollars and went to the grave to die.
There was only one word to describe it, miserable!
"Didn't you just say that Old Liu was chased out of the village? Why are there still ancestral houses left? "
Young man, the one who is cursed is the Old Liu family and not a house, it will be a lot of money if we tear it down and build it, of course we have to keep it, if someone has set their eyes on rebuilding it they can even rent it, do you have any interest, this is the place that we must go to Liangshan, the road is already open, cars are swishing, the lodging business is definitely good.
"I didn't realize that you have a business mind. Alright, take us to it. If the house is sturdy, we can consider it!" Ye Cheng agreed, and then he kicked the table over. "Ah, I'm sorry, but I have something to take care of today. We'll meet at 10 o'clock tomorrow morning at this same restaurant."
