It was already past meal time, and most of the regular tenants had gone back to their rooms to rest. The diners passing by were also chatting slowly, but they were not as hasty as before.
The waiter briefly took a look outside, and then had a brief conversation with another waiter who was passing by. When the latter saw the troublesome person from last night in the house, he asked the waiter to be more careful, and then left in a hurry.
After explaining the work, the waiter finally relaxed and continued the previous topic with Lu Chun.
Because the waiter's restaurant is located in a remote location, few people come here except for some regular customers who like peace and quiet. So when the elder of the Yuhu Sect arrived here, the waiter was very nervous, fearing that he might neglect him.
And this Jade Pot Sect elder would stay behind closed doors as long as he came back. Even if he prepared meals, he would have to hand them over to his disciples first. This made the waiter even more uneasy, but he didn't dare to ask too many questions.
Fortunately, one of the guests who came a few days ago was a very lively child, and the waiter often played with him in his free time, which alleviated his uneasiness a lot.
Hearing this, Lu Chun also smiled bitterly. At that time, he had too many things to deal with and was secretly attacked, so he was very vigilant and did not care about the looks from around him.
The waiter didn't notice the subtle changes in Lu Chun's expression, but his face gradually turned pale, and he told Lu Chun the unforgettable memory of that day...
Ever since the arrival of the Yuhu Sect, the waiter in the shop has been on tenterhooks, fearing that he might not be well received, and has been extremely worried and nervous. Especially the man on the bed snored too loudly that day, which made him toss and turn, unable to sleep all night long, and he thought about getting out of the room to move around.
But just when he got out of bed, put on his shoes, put on his clothes and was about to open the door and go out, he heard the door creaking and two footsteps hurriedly walked in. He stopped what he was doing and walked out of the door. Look out the small window on the side.
The waiter in the shop has long been used to the fact that several members of the Yuhu Sect are elusive and often leave early and return late. Now that the two familiar figures had returned, he was relieved. Thinking of the windy weather recently, he was ready to bolt the door after the two returned to the room.
But just then the two of them disappeared from the waiter's sight, and there was a sound of conversation coming from the corner of the second floor.
Logically speaking, the waiter would not inquire into the guests' personal affairs, but he always felt that the conversation was very strange, as if there were other people there! Because he never noticed anyone else coming in or out of the store from beginning to end, he curiously looked toward the second floor with his neck craning, wanting to see who the third person was?
Just when the waiter's neck felt a little sore and he could no longer hold on, the voices at the corner finally stopped, and there was a burst of footsteps walking deeper along the corridor, and then the waiter saw a figure staggering back. The corner location on the second floor.
At first, the waiter thought that this person was the elder of the Yuhu Sect, but just when this person passed by the house at the corner, he saw the elder of the Yuhu Sect opened the door and came out, and this stranger With just one staggering step, he bypassed this person and entered the room at the corner.
When the second floor was completely quiet, the waiter breathed a sigh of relief and went outside to bolt the door, then returned to the room to rest...
At dawn the next day, the waiter tidied up the store and prepared to open the door to welcome customers. But the strange thing is that his eyelids are beating wildly, and the frightening feeling is getting stronger and stronger!
After a busy morning, the waiter finally had some leisure time again. He was relieved when he thought that the Yuhu Sect members were finally gone, and his desire to find a "handyman" became stronger again.
But just as he was writing at his desk, his waiter also came over from the kitchen and asked him why he didn't see the young guest today?
The waiter at the shop felt strange when he heard this, so he stopped and went outside to buy a candied haws and went upstairs to see what was going on. But when he inquired to no avail and opened the door, he was stunned by the situation in front of him! I saw that the woman living in this house had fallen into a pool of blood...
And that's not all. When the visitors came to investigate the matter, they discovered that there were traces of burning human bones in another house!
Although it is true that the waiter's home is a coffin shop, he is limited to making coffins and has never touched the dead. The waiter was so shocked that he fainted from the shock and was unable to cheer up for several days...
"Two murders occurred in the store overnight, but no clues were found about the murderer. Rumors of hauntings also spread... The most annoying thing is that someone made a rumor, saying that because my family is a coffin shop, there are often lonely souls. Wild ghosts came to visit, so this murder was actually the work of that evil ghost... so that after that, the store no longer had any business..." At this point, the waiter also looked helpless.
"Because the eldest brother in my family is not good at communicating with others, I can only rely on me to take care of him. So I can only think of ways to alleviate the bad situation at hand, and wait until I have saved enough money to redeem the coffin shop again. Although This business won’t make you rich, but it won’t make people starve to death…”
Hearing this, Lu Chun's face became even more embarrassed. After all, from a certain perspective, what happened to the waiter in this shop was inseparable from him...
"Then let me ask you, do you know that apart from this incident, there are other murder cases in Yangdu City?" After a few simple words of comfort, Lu Chun couldn't wait to throw out the questions in his mind.
The waiter shook his head after hearing this: "There are many large and small accidents in Yangdu City, but when it comes to murders, only the Jin family is wiped out..."
Lu Chun frowned when he heard this, wondering if what this kid said was really what he thought? It can't be such a coincidence, right?
"Then let me ask you, do you know the name of the murdered woman?"
The waiter shook his head again: "Not to mention, someone has asked me about this before, but I don't remember it clearly... But I do remember that the name of the missing child is... yes! It's called Big Tree!"
"What!" Lu Chun heard this and no longer wanted to eat. He didn't expect that he had been so close to this clue!
"Ouch! Senior...what's wrong with you..." The waiter was frightened by Lu Chun's reaction and asked quickly.
Lu Chun was silent for a moment, then suddenly stood up: "Take me over and have a look!"
"This..." The waiter and Lu Chun had been delayed for too long in "confusing their true feelings", and it was already unjustifiable. When he heard that the other party asked him to take him back to the place where he had nightmares, he wanted to refuse.
But before he finished speaking, he saw Lu Chun throwing out another bag of money: "I and Mustache Hu have just met each other. When I see your family is in trouble, I can't ignore it! Don't worry, these money are just for hard work." Fei, when I find out the truth, I will help you redeem the coffin shop."
"Thank you, senior! Thank you, senior!" Although the waiter in the shop knew that people are short-handed, but because he still had an intellectually disabled "eldest brother" to take care of, he hurriedly agreed, leading Lu Chun to "haunt" him. Walk to the store.
"Just now, you said that someone has asked you about this matter?" On the way, Lu Chun couldn't help but ask.
"Senior is right..." The two waiters in the shop were in high spirits on happy occasions and were much less restrained than before. "The younger one remembers that the visitor is also an elder of the Jade Pot Sect, but this elder is a little different from the cold elder before. The temperament is much more elegant..."
Lu Chun had a dark look on his face, but in order to hide his identity at this time, he could not get angry, so he could only continue listening with his fists clenched. Fortunately, the dark cloud on the shoulder didn't know about this, otherwise I don't know what expression he would put on.
"The elder you are talking about is like this..." Lu Chun wanted to confirm Lin Zidai's identity, so he briefly described it to the person next to him.
The waiter thought about it carefully after hearing this, and then continued to answer: "I don't dare to look too closely at the immortal appearance, but I later heard from others that this person is Elder Yunlang of the Yuhu Sect!"
"It's him? What's he doing here?" Lu Chun couldn't believe it when he heard Yun Lang's name, but he vaguely felt that he was one step closer to the truth.
"Senior...senior?"
"What's up?"
"We're here..."
Lu Chun came back to his senses and realized that the two of them had already arrived in front of the inn. Although from the outside, this inn is not much different from when I came here, the sense of dilapidation that has been uninhabited for a long time cannot be hidden.
When the waiter opened the door for him, Lu Chun stepped into the inn. However, except that he felt that there was no ventilation here for too long and was a bit damp, he did not find the so-called eerie feeling.
Following his memory, he came to the guest room where he had stayed. Only then did he realize that the last room was left at the corner next door. He also asked behind him: "Did you say you saw a stranger enter the room before?" Here, right?”
"Senior, were you... talking to me just now?" A weak voice came from outside the door on the first floor.
Lu Chun couldn't help but smile bitterly when he saw this. Unexpectedly, the waiter in the shop was quite timid. He had been standing outside the door since he opened it and never dared to take a step forward.
"I'm talking to a ghost!" Lu Chun said angrily.
"Ah!" The waiter in the store exclaimed when he heard this, and said shivering: "Senior, please explain to them carefully, the little one...the little one is innocent!"
Seeing the pitiful look of the waiter, Lu Chun also frowned and feigned anger: "What are you afraid of when I'm here? Get up here!"
Although the waiter was reluctant, in order to continue the family business in his own hands, he could only follow him with a sad face.
"What happened here is a mother and son. So what happened to the stranger you mentioned before?" Lu Chun asked, pointing to the room in front of him.
The waiter was shocked when he heard this and slapped his thigh anxiously: "It's broken, it's broken! I didn't think about it at the time, and I had already forgotten about it! No! I have to report this matter!"
Lu Chun knew from the waiter's appearance that he couldn't count on him, but he still held him back: "There's no need to rush to report this matter. Why don't you tell me first, what does this stranger look like?"
The waiter scratched his head and thought about it carefully, then looked embarrassed and said with some embarrassment: "Senior, after hearing what you said, I remembered that at that time I only saw his back, not his appearance..."
“…”
"But I do remember that there was one thing about him that was very eye-catching...that is..."
