Almost at the same time the sound rang out, everyone rushed out of their rooms and ran towards the place where they were hiding.
Because Lin Mengya lived a little further away, she arrived late. When she arrived, everyone had already surrounded the room where the accident happened.
"What happened? What happened? Who's dead? "
The shopkeeper's face was deathly pale as he squeezed through the crowd.
After seeing the horrible sight of the dead customer, the shopkeeper fell to the ground and muttered, "This time it's over. My shop is finished!"
Those who were brave stuck their heads out to take a look.
All they saw was a sturdy man lying on the ground. The back of his head had been smashed into a pulp by something.
The person beside him should be his assistant. The way he died was different from the way he died. His heart was hollowed out.
The thick smell of blood caused everyone to retch. Lin Mengya could see the general situation through the gaps in the crowd. She frowned.
The person who died was the member of the Iron Horse Gang who had spoken rudely to the public security officer and provoked her.
Moreover, the way he died was too strange. One must know that only martial arts masters like Long Tianhao and Cai Ru could kill such a strong man with a single blow.
But the way he and his assistant died was too cruel. Moreover, it didn't seem like it was caused by some martial arts technique. It was more like —
She shook her head, pushing the thought back to the bottom of her heart.
How could an ordinary person have such great strength? Even an expert like Yu would find it hard to use his hands to cause such a wound.
She took advantage of the fact that no one was paying attention and quietly walked inside.
The wound on Sun Biao's head looked like it had been caused by a heavy object. However, there were no traces of a weapon. Could it be that the murderer took the weapon away after committing the crime?
She turned her head to look at the assistant.
The muscles on his chest were severely torn. The wound did not look like it was caused by a weapon, nor did it look like it was caused by the teeth of a wild beast.
He couldn't help but have that strange thought again.
These wounds were most likely caused by a person's hands.
If there was such a person, his strength was great and his fists were hard.
In that case, it was very likely that he would smash through Sun Biao's skull, and then use his hands to tear through the shop assistant's chest.
Thinking of this, she could not help but gasp. If that was really the case, then this person was too terrifying.
The corpse was still discovered by the shop assistant. As usual, he wanted to patrol at night. He checked to see if all the doors and windows were closed and if the fire on the stove was extinguished before going back to sleep.
However, when he passed by Sun Biao's room, he discovered that the door was open. It was pitch black inside.
He was holding a lantern to see if the guests inside had forgotten to close the door when he saw this horrifying scene.
Right now, the shop assistant was so scared that his face was pale. He was blankly huddled in the corner of the wall. No matter what happened outside, he had a silly look on his face.
Lin Mengya knew at a glance that it was the result of excessive shock.
While everyone's attention was focused on the corpse, she quietly walked to the man's side, reached out her hand, and hit him on the head.
"Oh my god!"
The shop assistant suddenly woke up from his previous dazed state. He blankly looked at everything around him, and it took a while for him to recover.
"Shopkeeper, shopkeeper, I can't do this job anymore!"
The shop assistant's face was sullen. He did not know why he was so unlucky this year. Every time, it had to be him.
The shopkeeper was also dumbfounded.
If he had known that this would happen, he would have closed his shop a long time ago.
The shopkeeper wiped the sweat from his forehead. Now that the person was dead, he was at a loss as to what to do.
Just as he was panicking, Lin Mengya took the initiative and said, "Shopkeeper, quickly send someone to inform the magistrate."
When the shopkeeper heard this, he nodded and quickly left. She also retreated along with the people who were watching the bustling scene.
She had no intention of sticking her head out. She would just give a few words of advice for the transfer.
As expected, when the magistrate arrived, he called everyone from their rooms to the courtyard.
However, this time, the magistrate's expression was even worse than last time. The way he looked at them was like a razor blade, as if he was going to dismember them in the next moment.
Lin Mengya brought her people and quietly stood in the middle of the crowd, neither conspicuous nor cowering.
This matter originally had nothing to do with her. What he needed to do was to obediently wait for the magistrate's questioning.
The magistrate carefully looked at each and every one of them. When it was Lin Mengya's turn, the magistrate personally made a move.
He fixed his gaze on her eyes, wanting to find the truth from there.
Lin Mengya did not dodge and openly allowed him to size her up.
After a moment, the magistrate opened his mouth.
"How much do you know about Sun Biao's matter?"
She shook her head and honestly said, "I've never seen him before, nor did I have any dealings with him. His death is also unexpected to me."
The magistrate frowned and asked, "But someone saw that before he died, he had some friction with you. Bai Jing, why did all the people who had conflicts with you die one by one? "
Lin Mengya could not bear the responsibility of these words. She curled her lips and said sarcastically, "I diligently and sincerely stood aloof from worldly affairs. It was they who insisted on making life difficult for me. What could I do? Besides, Sir Magistrate, they were all men who were stronger than me. How could I bless them and then kill them? "
The magistrate slightly narrowed his eyes and said with deep meaning, "The maid at your side, her martial arts skills are not low. Perhaps …"
"Hehe." Lin Mengya laughed at him without a care.
"I've traveled far and wide. If I didn't even have someone by my side who could protect me, I'm afraid I would have long become a pile of bones in the mountains. Sir Magistrate, although my maid knows a bit of martial arts, the difference in strength between men and women is not something that can be made up for with just a bit of martial arts. If it was me who did it, then my maid would have to be born with innate divine strength or a peerless expert with high martial arts skills. But if it was like that, then why did I choose such a crude way of dying? He used his mouth to anger me. Then why didn't I just cut off his tongue or sew his mouth shut? Wouldn't that be better? "
When she said this, there was a hint of coldness in her words.
Even the magistrate had no choice but to believe it. He could tell with a glance that although the maid's martial arts were not weak, she was not Sun Biao's opponent.
At least there were no signs of a fight at the scene. This meant that Sun Biao and his underlings were killed with a single blow.
So in reality, Bai Jing's suspicions could be eliminated. But what he could not understand was that the entire inn was shrouded in panic. Only this woman was calm and composed. Not a single trace of fear appeared on her face.
Although he was not a pedantic person, he knew that this was not the reaction of an ordinary person in the face of such a cruel murder case.
However, she was simply too frank. Whether it was his probing or his deliberate attempt to provoke her, this woman accepted it all.
For the first time in his life, he tasted defeat at the hands of a woman.
"Even if you didn't kill them, it could be related to you."
Hearing this, Lin Mengya smiled faintly.
"Magistrate, rather than wasting your time on me, why don't you think carefully about who Sun Biao's enemy is."
She stood up and walked to the door. In a gentle voice, she said, "Before I came, this place was calm and peaceful. But the danger never left this inn. I thought that perhaps my arrival had broken some kind of delicate balance. That was why these murders happened again and again. Magistrate, if you have the time to talk nonsense with me, why don't you ask me what happened before I came? "
He was actually taught a lesson by a little woman!
Even though he was not a proud person, this woman's detachment ignited some anger in his heart.
Coming out of the room, Lin Mengya was not as relaxed as she looked.
Sun Biao was dead. Then who would be next?
She knew that the person behind the scenes would find her sooner or later.
To tell the truth, she was a little impatient. But like the magistrate, she also wanted to know why these deaths happened.
The waiter and the shopkeeper hid behind the counter with worried faces. They were afraid that after this matter was settled, this inn would come to an end.
Lin Mengya walked over and saw the two people. She muttered to herself for a moment. Then she smiled and said, "Shopkeeper, what's wrong?"
The shopkeeper acted as if he had seen a relative. He pulled her and poured out his grievances.
"I won't hide it from Boss Bai. I'm worried about how to open this inn in the future! When outside, everyone cares about safety and smoothness. But here … Sigh, I'm afraid that no one will choose my inn in the future. "
It was no wonder that the boss was worried.
Not to mention the future, even now there were people clamoring to leave. They said that this was a place of great danger. If a living person lived here, they would either have their lifespan shortened or die a violent death.
Once this got out, no one would come here again.
"Boss, don't worry. As long as the magistrate catches the real murderer, the inn's business will slowly improve."
In her heart, she felt that the boss did not need to worry about this problem.
There were a certain number of inns in the city. Only when one was gone could a new one be opened.
And the merchants outside the city would pour in endlessly.
The locals despised this place for being unlucky. But what could outsiders know?
At that time, the inn's business would continue to flow. It was just that the boss would not be able to turn this around in a short period of time.
At this time, a young boy suddenly ran over and said to the shopkeeper, "Shopkeeper, my boss wants to see you."
The shopkeeper immediately put away the worried expression on his face. He wiped his face, forced a smile, and left with the boy.
She stood where she was and looked at the direction the shopkeeper went. It seemed to be the room where Boss Yang was.
This person was so mysterious. Even after such a thing happened, he still did not come out.
Could he be related to Sun Biao's death?
