Zuirenxiang Inn.

A gloomy atmosphere filled the courtyard, and under the faint starlight, the twisted and hanging corpses looked particularly strange and inexplicable.

Ouyang Hengxin's hair was tight and his lips were dry.

The positions of the arrows and crossbows in the room were calculated so delicately.

Almost all possible hiding places for those entering the door are blocked.

As long as you push the door and go in, no matter how fast you move, you can't dodge the arrows and crossbows.

And judging from the blue light shining on the head of the crossbow... there is poison on the crossbow.

insidious!

Who is this meant to harm?

A thought flashed through Ouyang Heng's mind: Could this be an attempt to harm Mrs. Lin?

However, Mrs. Lin is obviously a weak woman with no strength. Is it necessary to use such a big battle to harm her?

He had doubts in his mind, so he became more wary of Mr. Lin.

Originally, he was just staying at the inn to complete the rescue plan. Who would have expected that on his first night, he would encounter so many strange things, as if he was involved in a huge conspiracy.

If I had known earlier, I would have agreed to let Luo Fengtang bring in a helper.

Before he left, Luo Fengtang gave him a choice in private, whether to bring an expert with him. Although having one more person entering the city would bring more risks, one more person would also provide more care.

But he refused immediately.

He is a top killer, and he has great confidence in saving people this time, so he doesn't need help.

It's a little embarrassing now.

He thought it would be better for him to have a helper.

Ouyang Heng glanced sideways and saw that Mrs. Lin's face was pale and her whole body was trembling.

"Stand still, I'll go in and take a look."

Ouyang Heng finally decided to enter the room to see what was going on?

Holding the edge of the window with his palms, he turned over and got in.

As soon as he landed, he rolled over, pressed against the wall, held the short blade in his hand, and looked around.

At this moment, his vigilance had been raised to the extreme.

But after some time, there was no other sound in the room.

Ouyang Heng held up the fire folder, stood up, and slowly moved to the table on the side of the room near the window.

Light the candle on the table with a fire stick.

After the candles were lit, the whole room gradually became brighter.

Ouyang Hengfei used the short blade in his hand to cut off the cloth strips and let the hanging corpse fall down.

He took out a pair of leather gloves from his bag and put them on before pulling out the hair that was covering the corpse's face.

A pale, twisted woman's face appeared before his eyes.

However, this appearance did not scare him.

"Shopkeeper Lin, come in and take a look."

Ouyang Heng greeted.

Mrs. Lin stood outside tremblingly, unable to move.

"Just take a look at the window."

Seeing that Mrs. Lin couldn't come in, Ouyang Heng was no longer prepared to force himself, and simply asked her to stand at the window and look in.

In this way, Mrs. Lin slowly moved two steps.

Glancing at it, she happened to meet the corpse's round and bulging eyeballs. Lin quickly covered her mouth and nose and retched twice.

"This is the Wang family!"

Mrs. Lin was shocked.

"Who is Wang?" Ouyang Heng asked.

There are too many women named Wang. This is actually because the surname Wang is a common surname in Daqi and can be found all over the country.

"Wang is the owner of a jewelry store. Her husband passed away a few years ago, and she later propped up the store," said Lin.

"Which jewelry store?"

"Warm Spring Jewelry Shop."

"Nuanchun Jewelry Shop... isn't that the jewelry shop near Prince Tieya's Mansion?" Ouyang Heng was slightly surprised.

"Yes, that's the one."

Lin confirmed Ouyang Heng's remarks.

Nuanchun Jewelry Shop is very famous in Tieya City. Logically speaking, the female shopkeeper of a prosperous shop should be very rich. How could she die in Lin's inn?

"Now that it's over, why did Mr. Wang hang himself in Xiao Lin's house?"

Lin's legs and feet felt weak and her mind was dizzy.

Forget about Xiao Lin's disappearance, let's just say that Mr. Wang is hanging in this room. How can we tell clearly what happened?

Once the government comes, they will most likely charge her with murder.

If there are some capable officials in Daqi, they might be able to find out the truth.

But this is the grassland, and as a woman from outside the grassland, it is almost difficult for her to be treated fairly and justly here.

The government will almost certainly take advantage of this opportunity to wipe out all her property.

As for the truth behind Wang's death, it is not important to the government at all.

"She didn't hang herself."

Ouyang Heng's words stirred up waves in Lin's heart.

"Then how did she die?"

If you want to avoid government extortion, the first step is to find the truth, so that no one will sue the government and the matter can be resolved privately.

"She drowned."

Ouyang Heng's gloved hand opened the corpse's palm.

"There is sediment in the fingernails and a lot of sediment on the fingers. In addition, there is fine foam in the mouth and nose, and the skin also has goose skin-like folds."

At this time, Mrs. Lin no longer cared about fear and ran in from the front.

According to Ouyang Heng, she took a closer look and found that it was indeed the case.

"Then why is she hanging here?"

"Her drowning was not voluntary, but was forced by someone. You see, there are marks of compression on the back of the neck of the body, and there are also marks of binding on the wrists. I guess she was caught, tied and pushed into the well and drowned."

Ouyang Heng is very familiar with the characteristics of death in different situations, and his guess should be closer to the truth.

"Shopkeeper Lin, think about it, do you have any enemies?"

To be able to put the corpse into the room in the backyard of Lin's Inn and install extremely sophisticated mechanisms inside, it would be impossible even if there was a huge amount of hatred.

"The enemy..."

Mrs. Lin thought for a while before saying slowly: "I have never made any enemies. Maybe it has something to do with my husband."

"Brother Ninth, please forgive me, this matter has affected you."

Ms. Lin bowed and saluted with apologetic expression.

"What happened has happened, and I can't escape it. Now we have to find out the truth."

Ouyang Heng also wanted to resolve the matter privately.

His identity cannot be found out in the sun.

"You have two options for this matter. The first is to report it to the officials. But for the officials in Tieya City, you should understand that now that Tieya City is taken over by the Mongolian tribe, the government may be even more dangerous. The second is to resolve it privately.

, find the truth for yourself.”

Ouyang Heng proposed two options to see how Lin would choose so that he could respond.

"You can't report to the official." Ms. Lin shook her head.

"Then we can only investigate privately."

Ouyang Heng walked along the path: "First move Wang's body away, and then find a new place to stay. This inn of yours cannot be inhabited anymore."

"But my husband's tablet is still there..." Mrs. Lin hesitated.

"Is your husband's body still there?"
