Chapter 74 The Raid in the Night
Focusing on the industrial structure of heavy industry has made the development of Changyi County surpass Qingding City to some extent, but it also makes the nights here less lively and popular as Qingding City.
Looking around, there were many passers-by coming and going on the street, but not many people actually stopped and chatted and enjoyed the cool air.
The reason is that Changyi County does not cover a large area, and the large number of factories make the outdoor air really not fresh. This is still close to the outside of the city. If you really go to the center of the city, it may be even more serious.
Of course, Lu Jiu is not an urban environment assessor himself. After having a rough impression of the city, he withdrew his gaze and turned to the street near the station entrance.
He was waiting for someone to come to find him.
In order to avoid missing any valuable information as much as possible, Lu Jiu has made up his mind to put himself in the state of his predecessor.
What place would my predecessor choose as the destination after arriving in Changyi City? Will the large inn in Changyi County be chosen?
Of course not.
The silver dollars he carried when he left Qingding City should be about 30 to 50, most of which were his savings and a small part of his parents' inheritance.
Judging from the other memories obtained by Lu Jiu, his predecessor was a very frugal person. This money should be used to find the heart-wrenching ghost. In addition, he could save as much as possible. Lu Jiu obviously felt discomfort when he smelled the air in this city, and his predecessor must be no exception.
Therefore, what he is looking for should be a place to stay away from this smell and be cheap.
While thinking, the person Lu Jiu was waiting for finally appeared.
A man wearing an old cloth clothes and half-carrying waist walked towards this side from the street, and before he could even reach Lu Jiu, he showed a flattering smile.
"Young Master, I think it's your first time here. I know a lot about it here. If you have any needs, you can tell me directly."
"Which do you think is better inns near the station and cheaper ones?"
The most in shortage of people at the station is such soliciting guests, Lu Jiu asked bluntly.
"That must be Ningxin Inn on Xianglan Street to the south. It is close to a large area of land. With the window open, the air is very good. And because the place is relatively remote, the room is 20 copper plates cheaper than other inns."
When he heard Lu Jiu's request, the thin man's eyes immediately became a little confused. While speaking, he looked at Lu Jiu again without any trace. He asked himself that his eyesight was pretty good. From a long-term vision, the young man's clothes and demeanor were as good as a rich man, and he came up to say hello. Who would have thought that he was a poor man?
"Thank you."
He took out 5 copper plates from his pocket and put them in the man's hand. Lu Jiu turned around and left.
As Lu Jiu's back disappeared at the door of the station, the man with a smile on his face turned around and spat on the ground, weighed the copper plate in his hand, and walked towards the place where he had just squatted.
But just like the father and son, the man stopped a few steps away, suddenly turned around, his eyes turned, and a little ecstasy suddenly appeared on his face.
......
The inn was found according to the name. The operator was an old couple. The entire inn was actually a three-story house renovated hotel.
80 copper coins per night, it’s really cheap.
Lu Jiu found an opportunity to ask them if they had an impression of themselves, and the reply they received was negative, but at their age, they had been half a month apart, and even if they had seen them, they wouldn't remember them.
Under the guidance of the old woman, I saw the room. Although the furniture inside was simple, it was cleaned cleanly, not as dirty as I imagined. Lu Jiu looked at a few rooms and chose a room on the top floor, which was quite pleasant to pay for three days.
Go into the house and put things down. First, take out the shotgun that has been loaded with bullets from the box and put it in a place that you can easily take.
Lu Jiu did not plan to go out again tonight, but took out her notebook and started planning the place she would go tomorrow.
With a temporary foothold, what the predecessors had to do next was naturally to investigate the heart-wrenching ghost incident. According to the habits of the visiting clerks when investigating the matter, they obviously prefer to understand the situation by asking people around the place where the incident happened.
The newspaper clearly states that the place where the Heart-Gaoing Ghost appears was in a remote mine outside Changyi City, killing more than a dozen people late at night.
Shannan Mine.
If nothing unexpected happens, this should be the first stop tomorrow.
After studying the map for a while, he figured out how to get over tomorrow. Lu Jiu sat cross-legged back on the bed. It was impossible to sleep when he went to bed. Instead, he continued to try to fully control his extraordinary abilities. He had to complete this step as soon as possible before he could perform the next exercise.
Maintain a state of meditation and calm down to feel the changes in your body.
Time passed slowly, and the wilderness outside the window, illuminated by surrounding light sources, gradually fell into darkness.
When the beating of the gong, people shouted twice that the sky was dry and the things were dry, be careful of the candle...
Pong!
The sudden sound of tiles breaking on the roof awakened Lu Jiu, and the airflow surrounding him stopped flowing in an instant.
At the critical moment, Lu Jiu thought that some wild cat was running around the roof, stretched out to continue, but the sudden noise from his ears made him stop.
Tat~ Tat~ Tat~
The dense footsteps sounded in the corridor, and the people who were going upstairs seemed to be deliberately lowering their voices, but they still did not escape Lu Jiu's ears. After careful analysis, the messy footsteps were at least three people going up.
It's late at night now, where do you get so many guests in this remote inn?
He grabbed the Wuchang Gun and turned over and got out of bed. Although Lu Jiu did not think these people were coming to him, he was still careful.
However, after staying behind the door for a while, Lu Jiu was shocked to find that the footsteps had no intention of pausing, but went straight to the third floor...
You know, when he checked in just now, he asked specifically in order not to be disturbed. He is the only customer on this third floor for the time being!
Withdrew, Lu Jiu grabbed the suitcase beside the bed and threw it out of the window on the third floor. He then grabbed his backpack and walked towards the window. After a dozen seconds, the door was kicked open, and wood chips flew into it, and several figures rushed in.
"Don't move! Where are we from Changyi Jingyeshi...?"
"Captain, is it possible for him to jump off the building in the man's suitcase in the field outside the window?"
"Impossible. We have arranged people on the streets on both sides of the inn. If someone jumps off the building, they will definitely give a reminder. The roof is the roof, and others are on the roof!"
The strange noise above his head alarmed the leader of the captain, turned around and rushed towards the stairs leading to the rooftop.
However, when he went upstairs, he saw only a figure gradually disappeared in the night of the roof. When the other team members came up, he said in a deep voice.
Chapter completed!
