"Have you been sleeping here before?"
"Yes what's the matter?"
"One of us is missing. Have you never seen anyone come down before?"
"Huh? No...no."
The waiter looks young, only in his twenties or thirties, but he has been doing this for a while.
I have heard of people losing money and things before, but I have never heard of people losing their lives.
For a moment, he was surprised and at a loss.
In the dark inn hall, two dim lights illuminated each other's faces.
As if dancing with the firelight, the atmosphere became a little stagnant for a while.
Li Zhengyi did not hide anything. After all, in his opinion, people's safety is more important than other things, so he directly told the story about missing people.
But I didn't expect that the waiter who had been guarding the counter next to the stairs never noticed anyone walking down from above.
Are they really those things?
"Were you awake just now? Did you fall asleep and didn't notice?"
After hearing Li Zhengyi's question, the waiter in the shop immediately explained it anxiously as if he was clearing the relationship.
"Boss, it's really not true. Although I fell asleep just now, I only fell asleep not long ago."
"Besides, I usually sleep very lightly. That's why the shopkeeper asked me to stay here overnight. If anyone comes down, I will definitely find it."
Li Zhengyi glanced in the direction of the door again and found that the door of the inn was not only tightly closed, but also had a square wooden table propped up behind it in the same way as he had done before.
Moreover, there was no trace of disorder in the hall. Based on these circumstances, it seemed that Liu Sangou had not gone out yet.
But all this must be based on the existence that Li Zhengyi can handle. If it is really some powerful ghost who took that guy away quietly, then even if he saw it, based on his current strength, it is estimated that I can only stare.
"What kind of people live in the backyard? Take me over and have a look."
There are three other people upstairs searching and looking downstairs. There should be nothing there. After all, the environment here can be seen at a glance.
In this inn, the only thing left is the backyard.
There is a large courtyard behind the inn, and there are also some houses in it.
"The shopkeeper lives in the back, his family, and two other guys."
"Come on, take me to see you."
Whether it was the clothes Li Zhengyi was wearing or the guy he was holding, the waiter had no reason to refuse.
Then the two of them held up the lamps in their hands and walked from the corridor beside the counter to the yard behind.
The courtyard was quiet, without a single light, until the two of them came and brought some firelight.
It was possible to see the movement upstairs, but neither the shopkeeper, who lived in the backyard, nor anyone else noticed.
After arriving in the yard, Li Zhengyi took an oil lamp and searched carefully for traces in the yard.
The waiter didn't waste any time, walked quickly to the door of the shopkeeper's room, patted it hard, and called out the people inside.
In the middle of the back of the yard is the shopkeeper's house. There are several utility rooms on the east side, and there are some horse and cart sheds on the west side, and the toilets are also there.
There was nothing visible in the open space in the middle of the yard. Even under the moonlight at night, it looked very clean, as if it was covered with a layer of white cloth.
Li Zhengyi first looked at the utility room and found that the locks on the doorways of the three tile-roofed houses were all intact, so he felt that they were not there.
Then he walked to the west again, and even though the toilet smelled stinky, he took a look.
And the first thing to check is the toilet.
After all, he had seen it in some movies and TV shows or in some books. It was easier for weird things to breed in relatively dark and dirty places like toilets.
If Liu Sangou was brought in by something, if the inspection was too late, he might drown in it and not be saved.
But after Li Zhengyi checked, there was no sign of Liu Sangou in the toilet.
In order to search more carefully, he inserted a nearby wooden stick into it and stirred it up. There was no one in the pit.
After checking the toilet, Li Zhengyi didn't waste any time, and then walked to the carriage and horse shed nearby to take a look.
There are still two horses tied inside and two carriages outside.
Because it was full of fodder, Li Zhengyi was more careful when inspecting it.
It would be even more troublesome if someone not only failed to find it, but also set the stable on fire.
Two horses, one red and one black, quietly looked at the man who suddenly appeared in the hay shed and disturbed their rest.
Spray your nose from time to time and make some noise.
There was also some hay at the back of the stable. Just when Li Zhengyi was about to turn away from the maroon horse to check, the waiter from before also came over with their shopkeeper.
The shopkeeper had just woken up. He was only wearing a short coat, and like Li Zhengyi, he also wore a pair of glasses.
But others are not doing it to look cool or doing anything, but because they are really old and need to wear these glasses to see things clearly.
"Boss, boss, what are you doing?"
After the shopkeeper arrived, he quickly pulled Li Zhengyi out of the toilet. Comparatively speaking, he was more afraid that his inn would be burned down.
Seeing his confused look of not knowing anything, Li Zhengyi couldn't help but glance at the waiter next to him. Didn't this kid tell them the shopkeeper?
And he is busy looking for someone now. If the three of them can't find anyone after a while, it will prove that Liu Sangou is no longer in the inn.
If that were the case, Li Zhengyi wouldn't care about trouble or face.
Not only will he immediately go outside to search, but he will also seek help from some local people.
For example, Captain Lin, who always calls himself the head catcher, and this matter is so weird, maybe we need to find some other professionals to handle it.
As far as Li Zhengyi knew, the two more famous people in the local area should be brothers Qian Zhenren and Xu Zhenren.
The two of them must have real skills. Whether it's what Li Zhengyi saw in the movie or whether the local dignitaries would find Naqian Zhenren to solve problems when they encounter problems.
This can be confirmed from every aspect.
Because he was anxious, Li Zhengyi simply explained to the shopkeeper: "One of us is missing. Please quickly ask the others to get up and see if they can be found."
After finishing speaking, Li Zhengyi went about his own business and prepared to continue looking for someone.
Unexpectedly, the shopkeeper grabbed him again.
