Chapter 151 Murder and Silence
Chapter 151 Murder and Silence
After solving one thing, Gu Rao felt relaxed both physically and mentally.
Seeing that it was still early, he said to Bieye, "Let's go shopping and then go back." As if knowing that he would not refuse, he added, "I will pay for everything you buy today."
Other wild people should come down.
"it is good."
Gu Rao said, "I haven't been to West Street much yet. Let's go shopping on that street."
-
The layout of West Street is similar to that of South Street. There are many shops on both sides, but it looks much more regular than South Street. Most of the pedestrians on the street are well-dressed.
Some people gathered at the door of a house.
Gu Rao was a little curious.
"What are those people doing together?"
"Let's go take a look."
As soon as I approached the door, I smelled a pungent odor.
Gu Rao quickly covered his nose.
"It stinks!"
Bieye also held his breath slightly, frowning and looking at the smelly room.
"That's the house Bie Chengcai rented in the town."
When Gu Rao heard that it was related to Bie Chengcai, he stopped when he was about to retreat.
"Is the place where he lives always smells so bad?"
Bieye shook his head.
"Although he doesn't like to clean up, the house is a mess. If he doesn't like to clean it, it still smells a bit, but it's not so bad that the smell will float out the door."
"And it doesn't smell like a latrine."
A woman wearing maroon linen clothes, with her hair tied back by a hairband of the same color, and a fierce look stood at the front door with her hands on her hips and yelled curses at the people inside.
"The loser is that I'm a good scholar. I didn't expect to be so unclean. He hides and eats shit in there every day. He doesn't mind the stink. It makes us neighbors so stinky that we can't eat every day!"
"I have told him several times, but he just refuses to empty the bucket at home. He is so poor that he has no money to buy meat, so he is saving up maggots to fry meat and eat it?"
"The whole street is surrounded by the stench of his house!"
"If you don't listen to my advice today, don't blame me for being rough with you!"
"Hide in there and act like a turtle?"
"Come out quickly and give us all an explanation!"
The surrounding neighbors also started to boo.
"Come out and give us an explanation!"
Several people dressed as scholars also gathered together to watch the fun.
"No wonder Bie Chengcai always stinks."
"I was stung by him several times. I was afraid of hurting his self-esteem, so I was embarrassed to remind him. I thought he had pooped in his pants. I didn't expect that he was inhaled by the stench in the house."
"I really can't see him being so unclean."
……
More and more people gathered at the door of Bie Chengcai's house. Bie Chengcai had to come out from inside and looked at the neighbor who was the first to make noises and who had annoyed him countless times during this period with an ugly expression.
"This is my own home. I can do whatever I want. Do you care? Don't think I'm afraid of you because there are so many people. If you have the ability, let the government arrest me!"
Shi, who looked fierce, was angered by Bie Chengcai's shamelessness.
The government has nothing to do with this kind of thing!
It's because he knows this that he is as confident as he is now!
"You really think I can't do anything to you?"
Bie Chengcai smiled.
"Then just wait until you find a way to come to my door and scream. It's getting late, and I still have to study my lessons, so I won't waste time here with you."
After saying that, he turned around and went back.
A middle-aged man strode over and caught Bie Chengcai who was about to go back.
Bie Chengcai was about to get angry when he turned around and realized it was the landlord.
"Boss Luo, why are you here?"
Luo Gao's face turned pale.
"You still have the nerve to ask me why I'm here?"
"I thought you were a fastidious scholar who wouldn't ruin my house. I was very confident about you, so I never came back to take a look. If Mrs. Shi hadn't found me today, I would still have been kept in the dark by you!"
"When she told me, I didn't believe it. I thought it was because you had a problem with her and she didn't want me to rent the house to you, so she deliberately arranged it for you."
"You betrayed my trust in you!"
Bie Chengcai was pointed in the nose and scolded, and there were so many people watching, but he couldn't retaliate, so he could only let the landlord blame him in such a cowardly manner.
"Boss Luo, please listen to my explanation. I didn't make the house so smelly on purpose. It was because there were many rats in the house, so I wanted to use the stink to fumigate the rats away..."
Everyone was left speechless by this explanation.
"Are you stupid because of reading?"
"Rat like stench to begin with, you still want to use stench to smoke away the rats? You said you think rats are cute, but I still believe you if you use stench to attract rats!"
"That's nonsense!"
Luo Gao smelled the stench coming from his house, and he could tell that he was being fooled by his talent, so he immediately decided, "I won't rent the house to you anymore!"
"You paid the two months' rent arrears, get out now!"
Don't be shocked.
"Boss Luo, I'm busy preparing for the exam right now. If you don't rent me a house, I really won't have a place to live. Can you be accommodating for a few more months?"
Luo Gao rolled his eyes and stopped talking nonsense to him.
He strode directly into the house.
It was too late for Bie Chengcai to stop him, so he could only follow Luo Gao and say all the good things.
When Luo Gao saw the mess in the room, his last good look towards Bie Chengcai disappeared.
He strode into the bedroom, smelled an even worse smell, and his face turned darker. He rolled up the dirty quilt on the bed, and was about to take it out and throw it away, but he accidentally found it filled with feces and filled with stinky smell. The smelly Gongtong blocked it.
Kyoto also fell with him.
The feces in Gong's bucket immediately poured out.
Luo Gao's body was wet with feces and water, and he was on the verge of rage. The veins on his forehead were pulsing, and his fists were clenched tighter and tighter. His eyes were bloodshot when he looked at others.
It seemed that the next moment he would jump up and rush towards Bie Chengcai.
Bie Chengcai didn't care so much, and quickly stepped forward to turn Gong Tong, who had fallen towards Luo Gao, in a different direction, but it was his movement that caught Luo Gao's attention.
Luo Gao held Bie Chengcai's hand and looked at the foul-smelling cloth bag in Gong's bucket.
"What are you hiding?"
Don't become too nervous.
"Why should I tell you my own things?"
Luo Gao narrowed his eyes.
"It's not stolen, is it?"
Don Chengcai still wanted to quibble, but Luo Gao saw through it at a glance.
"Stop pretending."
"If you were rich or had something valuable, how could you still not be able to pay the rent? If it weren't for the fact that you are a scholar, I would have kicked you out!"
"There have been officials stationed nearby during this period. They must be searching for the stolen goods. Are you afraid of being found out, so that's why you have refused to empty the bucket?"
When Bie Chengcai saw what happened was revealed, he felt resentful towards Luo Gao for meddling in his own business, but he did not dare to show his anger and knelt down in front of Luo Gao with a plop.
"As long as you don't tell this matter, I will give you half of the contents!"
Seeing that Luo Gao was unmoved, he gritted his teeth and said, "Are you six and four not enough? The thing inside is gold, and it will be worth at least a few hundred taels if sold!"
Luo Gao still didn't speak.
A fierce look flashed in Bie Chengcai's eyes, and he secretly glanced at the iron candlestick placed on the small table beside the bed.
Now there are only two of them at home.
If we kill Luo Gao now, just say that he walked too fast, tripped over Gong Tong and hit the candlestick. Even if others would suspect it, there would be no proof...
Luo Gao already knows his secret. Even if Luo Gao agrees to keep the secret for him this time, there is no guarantee that he will not use his evidence to threaten him in the future. The best way is to kill him and silence him!
