The Legend of Swing Sword and Execution of Demons

Chapter 339

It's halfway through the hour.

The night is dark.

There were not many people in the town, and at this time, it was rare to see even a lonely drunk on the street.

The chirping of insects came and went, which was especially clear at night, as if they were singing their seasons.

Accompanied by the sounds of nature, the night elves are already active, embracing the darkness.

Owls only come and go at night, and any disturbance in the grass cannot escape those sharp eyes and sharp ears, so they can always catch their prey easily.

Goose back to the inn.

The clerk had already closed the door for quite a while, but there was still a twilight in the interior of the inn.

I saw a white candle burning in front of the counter, as if waiting for the return of the guests.

Come to think of it, if the non-returning guests come back later, the guys don't need to open the door in the dark.

The one who should be here does not return home at night.

Shouldn't be here, but come uninvited.

The guys were so sleepy that they didn't realize that a night owl sneaked into the inn under their noses in the dark.

Ye Xiao didn't come here to play, but to "hunt".

Ye Xiao was Jiang Yichen.

His prey is Liandie, but it seems that Liandie is not the only one.

He hid in a dark corner of the lobby, so he could see the entire layout of the inn without being exposed by the candlelight.

The inn has three floors.

There are five rooms on the ground floor, two of which are for the staff and the boss, and the remaining three are connected, which are both kitchens and utility rooms.

The upper two floors are guest rooms.

The middle floor is for ordinary guest rooms, there are seven rooms.

The uppermost floor is the Tianzihao room, and there are only three rooms.

Tianzihao only means big in Yanhui Inn.

Right now, the ten guest rooms are completely dark, and the guests seem to have gone to bed early.

Obfuscation?

With just one glance, Jiang Yichen already decided in his heart that everything was caused by this inn.

He couldn't help but began to wonder whether there was an unknown relationship between the Yanhui Inn and Tingyu Pavilion.

It is not known which room was occupied and which guest did not return at night.

Jiang Yichen didn't need to worry about these things at all, maybe in a day or two, the answer would be reflected on the note, but his intuition told him that tonight was extremely critical, and he couldn't just sit idly by.

Jiang Yichen didn't dare to act rashly because he couldn't find the flaw for a while, so he had to be patient and wait and see what happened.

If time passes by, in a blink of an eye, the white candle has become a residual candle.

The hall was a lot darker than before, but for Jiang Yichen, it was safer.

Up to this moment, the guest who went out has not returned yet, is it possible that he is not planning to come back tonight?

While Jiang Yichen was in a trance, another gleam of light ignited and flickered in his pupils.

The light was so faint that it seemed to exist and not to exist, and it was even more difficult to notice than the light of a dying candle, so much so that Jiang Yichen once thought it was a hallucination in his eyes.

The faint light came from the innkeeper's room.

The reason why an inn is cheap is roughly three reasons: poor conditions, simple services, and few staff.

And these three geese returned to the inn without exception, all of which were sparsely staffed.

There are only three people in the inn, including the boss.

The boss is a woman, who is not very old. There are two guys, one is a middle-aged man who relies on the old to prosper, and the other is a glib young man.

Perhaps all kinds of weird things happened one after another in the rivers and lakes, and everyone was not surprised, so few people suspected the weird combination that ran the Yanhui Inn.

Jiang Yichen didn't measure the heart of a gentleman with the heart of a villain, but judging from the information he knew, he really couldn't turn a blind eye to the strangeness of Yanhui Inn.

He even guessed in his heart that the Yanhui Inn and Tingyu Pavilion were originally a family.

After all, as early as three years ago, when he came here to stay, the shopkeeper of the inn was not bad for a woman, but he was also bloated and old. Although there were not many people in the inn, there were four or five guys who shuttled between the hall and kitchen, up and down. Running errands, good life and busy life.

Although times have changed, the inn may have changed owners and reduced staff due to poor management, but Jiang Yichen always felt that the time of change was too coincidental, and it happened just after the establishment of Tingyu Pavilion.

Of course, this question is not rigorous, and Jiang Yichen still needs more definite information to confirm it.

His thoughts came back to his eyes, in the dead of night, the lights in the innkeeper's room were still on, did he suddenly feel anxious in his sleep and got up to relieve himself?Or did you make an appointment with someone else to find another job?

This time, Jiang Yichen didn't wait too long and got a response.

Suddenly there was an imperceptible sound.

He immediately put his left ear against the wall, discarded distracting thoughts, and listened carefully.

The sound comes from above.

The convenience is the guest room.

There is a change in the room!

It was the creak of the door opening and closing.

one two three four……

Jiang Yichen counted silently in his heart, the doors of four guest rooms opened and closed one after another in just ten breaths.

And he suddenly saw that the upper two floors were still pitch black.

Immediately afterwards, there was a rush of voices of varying severity.

Tuk, tuk, tuk...

This is not the sound of footsteps, or the sound of normal walking footsteps, but the sound of toes tapping the ground.

This black light is blind, he can't walk up the stairs, and he still performs lightness kung fu?

While thinking about it, Jiang Yichen curled up, held his breath, and let himself completely merge into the darkness without making any movement.

One, two, four, six...

Jiang Yichen was still counting silently in his heart.

This time, it was the figures who entered the innkeeper's room from the stairs.

There are six paths in total.

It seems that the couple who did not return home that night were either husband and wife, or master and servant, or brothers and sisters.

Jiang Yichen didn't need to have any guesses anymore, as long as he stepped forward and entered the room, he could unveil the mystery of the Yanhui Inn.

He was about to straighten up, but immediately turned into a statue again, motionless.

I saw a figure walking unsteadily from another room on the first floor, walking slowly to the front of the counter, seeing the dying candle, shaking his head and muttering: "It's time now, I haven't come back yet, please don't wait." Something went wrong."

Immediately, he staggered back into the room.

However, he didn't go to his own room, but he also walked into the female shopkeeper's boudoir!

At night, when the silence returned, Jiang Yichen silently counted ten breaths again. After expecting that another guy should be guarding his room to watch the wind, he didn't delay any longer, and walked towards the innkeeper's room.

Although there is a sword in his hand, the sword has no intention of drawing it out of its sheath.

The next moment, Jiang Yichen had already entered the house.

Since he intends to be a thief, he can be sure that his actions are several times lighter than those of Fang Chang, and he will never wake up the other guy who is already asleep.

As for the scene in the house, it was as expected that there was no one there!

If not, he would never be able to walk into it safely.

The room is not big, if there are seven or eight people standing inside, it will appear crowded.

The furnishings in the room are simple, a bed, a table, a chair, a wardrobe, and if there is not a dressing table in the corner, it is hard to regard this as a place where a young woman lives.

The ability to see these clearly is naturally due to the light in the room, the light is candlelight, and the candlelight placed on the table.

Compared with the candlelight in the lobby, it is brighter here, but it is extremely faint from the outside.

This has to be attributed to the black cloth curtains hanging on the doors and windows.

What a painstaking effort.Jiang Yichen sighed secretly.

Where did people go?Jiang Yichen looked around the room.

When he came to the dressing table, he saw a layer of dust, which had not been cleaned up for at least half a month.

He came to the closet again, and after carefully opening it, he saw that there were only a few clothes in it, and they were all extremely simple and plain.

He closed the closet door, disappointed not to find any hidden doors in it.

He looked around and finally stopped on the bed.
