Chapter 178 Dark and windy night
Shen Li opened her eyes, listened to the subtle noise coming from outside the door, and reached out to push Bai Yao who was sleeping beside her.
Bai Yao opened her eyes, and the confusion in her eyes instantly disappeared. Then she heard the subtle movement and turned to look at the person next to her.
In the darkness, there was no fear in her eyes, only disgust and a flash of murderous intent.
Shen Li asked her to stay on the bed. She tiptoed down and came to the door of the room. At this time, her mental power also covered the entire inn.
There were a total of six people in the inn, not counting them. Two of them were standing at the door of their room, and the remaining four were divided into several groups and went to the room of that couple and the room of Shen Erhe and his wife respectively.
At first Shen Li couldn’t understand how these people had the courage to do this?
If someone disappears in your inn, the inn will have to take responsibility no matter what, and it will also attract the attention of the authorities. Isn't that digging your own grave?
It was not until Shen Li saw the six bodies lying in the cellar that she understood.
The six bodies in the cellar might be the real boss and the waiter. As for the six people now, they are most likely fugitives or habitual criminals.
After doing this, they sold the person out, took the money and left. No one would know that it was them who did it.
It was dark inside the inn, and soon the wooden door latch was pushed open.
"crunch~"
With the slight sound of the door opening, the door opened, and what connected the two people was Shen Li's mental attack. The smiles on their faces froze instantly, and the two of them fainted and lay softly on the ground.
Except for the couple's room, sounds of fighting were heard in other rooms. Shen Changshan and others who had been awake immediately got up to help, and the two people in Shen Erhe's room were quickly subdued.
When they came, Shen Xiaoya was holding a wooden stick as thick as her arm and was helping Shen Changshan deal with the two men. After seeing her own people coming, she retreated to her mother with the stick.
The lights in the inn were also lit up. The other two people realized something was wrong and immediately dropped the people they were tied up with and ran out to check. They were knocked unconscious by Shen Yuanzhou and Lin Feng who had been waiting on the side.
In a hurry, the two of them made a lot of noise, but the people in the room did not wake up, which shows that the drug is quite effective.
Shen Yuanzhou took out a fire starter and blew it up. Lin Feng picked up the children they had tied up, untied the ropes on their bodies, and threw them back on the bed, not forgetting to cover them with quilts.
After doing all this, he closed the door and went out, and the couple on the bed never noticed.
The two cousins tied up the man and dragged him to the lobby downstairs. The wooden floor made a creaking sound.
Downstairs, except for a few elderly elders who did not come down, everyone else was here. At this moment, looking at the few people tied to the pillars in the middle of the lobby, they all looked silently at Shen Changshan's family.
"What should we do with these people?"
This is not a chaotic escape route now. If we kill him, we will be arrested by the government!
Shen Li had looked at the map, so she knew there was a county town ahead.
"There is a county town eight miles ahead. Tomorrow, Fourth Brother and First Cousin will ride horses to the county government office ahead to report to the officials and ask them to take the person away."
We can't kill people at will here, otherwise these people would have been dealt with long ago.
He took out a packet of knockout drugs and said, "Big brother, Third brother, feed them this knockout drug, don't let them cause trouble in the middle of the night."
"Okay, I'll watch here tonight, you guys go back and get some rest."
We still have to travel tomorrow, so it is impossible for all of us to stay here to guard them.
Shen Qian'an brought down a quilt for Shen Yuanzhou and then went back to sleep.
The rain kept falling, and it finally stopped when it was almost dawn. Just when Shen Jingyuan and Lin Feng wanted to ride horses, they were stopped by the couple.
The couple looked at the commotion in the lobby and thought that Shen Changshan and the others were bad guys. Just as they were about to ask something, the tied-up people slowly woke up.
After figuring out his situation, he opened his mouth and started to curse, "Who are you, you tied me up, let me go!"
"You guys, why are you tying us up? We want to report to the police!"
Hearing this, the couple immediately became alert and stepped back, protecting their two children.
Shen Qi'an remained calm and nodded in agreement: "You are indeed going to report to the authorities. We are indeed going to report to the authorities. Who is the bad guy? The authorities will know once they investigate."
"you……"
"As for the body in the cellar, it has been dead for several days, and we just came here yesterday afternoon. What do you think the government will say?"
Several people panicked instantly. They originally thought that these were a group of fat sheep, but they didn't expect that they were a group of people who were trying to kill them.
Moreover, they even knew what was under the cellar, and they could tell it without batting an eyelid. They seemed to be tough guys.
When the couple heard that there was a body under the cellar, they turned pale with fright. However, when they heard Shen Qian'an say that he would report to the police, they felt a little less worried.
The man thought of some strange things in the room this morning, and that they didn't wake up once they entered the room last night. It was impossible for them to sleep so soundly outside. It was obvious that someone had tampered with the room.
"Hey, little brother, did they enter our room last night?"
Shen Qi'an had no intention of hiding anything and told the truth directly: "Well, if we weren't here, you might not have found your two children."
The man was frightened after hearing this, and soon took the initiative to speak: "Are you going to the county government office in front to report to the authorities?"
"Ah."
"However, let's put it this way. Brothers, you guys stay here and I'm going to the county government office anyway. I'll report to the police for you."
Shen Qian'an agreed after a brief thought. They were still refugees and it was not easy for them to deal with the government.
The couple immediately harnessed the carriage and drove away at a very fast speed.
The people in the inn ate breakfast first. As for the six people who were tied up, they thought it was too noisy and just stuffed their mouths.
After finishing their meal, everyone pulled out the carriage and harnessed it. Shen Li asked them to go first, and she would wait here for the government officials to arrive and then follow them.
Half an hour later, the government officials finally arrived. At this time, the inn was empty except for 6 people tied up and 6 corpses.
The man was a little dumbfounded, but when he saw that the man was still tied up, he didn't think too much about it.
Shen Li had already ridden away on horseback when the government office was still two miles away from him. It was a bit troublesome to deal with the people in the government office, so he didn't want to face them directly.
The weather in the south of the Yangtze River is changeable. Sometimes it is sunny and sometimes it rains. Fortunately, the rain is not heavy and does not last long, so we can still travel, but the speed is not as fast as before.
