Chapter 397 The Disappeared Couple

Chen Feng stepped forward to move the big man away, only then did he realize that the big man had died, and he himself was shocked.

The proprietress staggered to her feet and exclaimed: "Killed! Killed!"

Lao Lu came out of the room again and glared at the big man's corpse. He had no good impression of this man who was hooking up with his wife: "He deserves to die!"

The guests from the west guest room on the second floor came out, a man and a woman, who seemed to be a middle-aged couple.They stood on the second floor and watched, but didn't say anything.

Chai Hui sized up the two of them, made sure he hadn't seen them, and went downstairs to help Chen Feng out.

At this time, the proprietress was frightened and cried, while Lao Lu stood aside and treated each other coldly.Anyway, he didn't kill the person, and he hated the big man who died, so he felt a little gloating in his heart.

Chen Feng inspected the body and was sure that the big man was beaten to death by himself, so he fell into deep thought.One thing is certain, the big man does not have any martial arts, is he really just an ordinary customer?

Chen Feng had killed many people, but he had never killed an innocent person with his own hands. At this moment, it was inevitable that he felt guilty and hesitant.

Chai Hui came to him and said loudly: "This person bullied the boss's wife, and my brother stopped him. Although he accidentally killed this person, he deserved it. Let's just find a place to bury the body, and this matter will be revealed." Pass."

Neither Lao Lu nor the proprietress made a statement, and Chai Hui was about to make a move, but unexpectedly the middle-aged couple on the second floor spoke to stop it.

"Wait!" It was a middle-aged man who spoke, "Your brother killed someone, how can you deal with it casually?"

"Why, you want to meddle in other people's business?" Chai Hui asked coldly, he had long wanted to find a chance to do something big, but he had no excuses.

The middle-aged man said: "The murder is right in front of us, how can I pretend I didn't see anything?"

Chai Hui's footsteps moved slightly, and he had the potential to make a move.

"Do you want to kill someone and silence them?" the middle-aged man said in a panic.

The woman beside him had already pulled him to the room, and while pulling him back, she responded: "Master downstairs, don't be angry, my husband drank too much, we didn't see anything!"

Pulling the man into the room, the door slammed shut with a bang.

Chai Hui secretly sighed, it's a pity that he missed the best opportunity to test.He looked at Lao Lu and asked, "Boss Lu, let's dispose of the corpse now!"

Frightened by Chai Hui's aura, Lao Lu quickly nodded, "Okay, okay, I'll help you carry the body out of the inn!"

"No!" Chai Hui rebuffed straight away, "It's hard to guarantee that the corpse will not be discovered if it's disposed of outside. I think we should dispose of it on the spot."

"Guest officer, you, you, you...how are you going to deal with it?"

"Is there a basement or something here?" Chai Hui asked intentionally.

Lao Lu was startled, and the landlady stopped crying. The two looked at each other, which was quite intriguing.

Chen Feng had a panoramic view of all this, deliberately smiled and said: "It seems that there should be a basement or something, Lao Lu quickly take us there."

"Hey, just follow the wishes of the two guest officers." Lao Lu sighed and came to the door of the underground storage room.He took the key from his waist and opened the chain. When the door was pushed, a stench came out.

"What does it smell like!" Chai Hui asked cautiously while fanning it with his hand.

Lao Lu explained: "The underground storage room has not been used for a long time. It is full of rotten food. We are too lazy to clean it. We simply keep the door closed and completely seal the underground storage room."

"Let's carry the corpse in first." Chai Hui and Lao Lu lifted the corpse up while talking.

With Chen Feng behind, he can also deal with emergencies at any time.

The group of people went down a narrow staircase. Under the candlelight, they could see that the underground storage room was in a mess.

There was spilled wine on the ground, and all the raw meat and vegetables had gone bad. No wonder there was such a stench.

Generally speaking, the underground storage room is not too big, and it is estimated that it cannot accommodate ten people.There are no other secret rooms here. It seems that Zhang Yuan, Sun Meiniang and Shangguan Hanyu are definitely not here.

Throwing the body in the underground storage room, several people quickly returned to the ground.Lao Lu closed the door and locked it with a chain.

"Guest officers, can you rest assured now?" Lao Lu said with a sad face.

Chai Hui nodded with satisfaction: "I can rest assured about you two, because you are also accomplices now! But the couple upstairs is not sure. They knew that someone died in the inn, but they didn't see who killed it with their own eyes. Therefore, we will all be regarded as murderers. If we let them leave the inn, there is no guarantee that they will not tell others."

"Does the guest officer really intend to kill someone and silence him?" Lao Lu's body trembled nervously.

Chai Hui smiled coldly: "Tell me about the origins of those two people first."

Lao Lu helplessly replied: "Guests come to stay in the hotel and just pay. How can we ask so much! This couple, like the big man, both stayed in the hotel yesterday and stayed in their respective rooms all day today. I really don’t know their identities!”

Chai Hui dismissed: "Go, go, you and the landlady go back to the room first, and leave it to us to deal with. No matter what noise happens, don't come out, okay?"

Lao Lu and the proprietress hurried back to the room, closed the door, and locked it from the inside, fearing that they themselves would become Chai Hui's target.

Chen Feng and Chai Hui looked at each other, now is the best time for them to investigate.There is nothing to check downstairs, there is nothing tricky in the underground storage room, and there is nothing wrong with the back kitchen. When the door of Lao Lu's room was opened just now, the two also looked inside from the outside.The room was originally small, and there was nothing unusual about it.

"Let's go to the second floor and have a look." Chai Hui said and walked towards the second floor.

Chen Feng followed and asked in a low voice: "When was the last time you came to the inn?"

The hijacking of Shangguan Han's Marriage took place in the past few days. Not to mention the change of owner and proprietress of the Black Wind Inn, the acting can still be so realistic. People who don't know may really think that they are the owners of the Black Wind Inn.

"I was here the day before yesterday. I didn't expect that something like this would happen as soon as I left here." Chai Hui was a little annoyed.

While they were talking, they had already reached the second floor. Chen Feng and Chai Hui took a look downstairs first. After confirming that Lao Lu and the landlady would not come out again, they began to check room by room.Starting from the east room, the first target happens to be the dead man's room.There was nothing inside, only a small package, which contained a lot of gold and silver.

The big man doesn't look like a rich man, maybe a robber or something, that's why he has so much money.It's just that this robber relied purely on his size and strength, and was completely ignorant of martial arts, so he was vulnerable in front of Chen Feng.

Search from the east room in turn, and finally arrived at the north room, this way is fruitless.

Chen Feng suspected that the big man was a real guest, so he couldn't help asking: "Brother Chai, does the Black Wind Inn usually receive ordinary guests?"

Chai Hui replied: "Yes, there are, but none of the people who come to this kind of wilderness is a decent person. Occasionally, there are hunters staying here. We will never attack these ordinary people."

From this point of view, the big man may really be just an ordinary guest.

Then there was the last unexplored room left. The couple in it looked normal, but staying in the Black Wind Inn was very abnormal.They have no reason to come to this kind of place, and they are the most likely enemies.

Chai Hui and Chen Feng came to the door cautiously, they came under the banner of killing people, so they didn't need to talk to the people inside.

Kicking open the door, Chai Hui was the first to rush in aggressively, but quickly froze in place.

Chen Feng went in to take a look, and found that there was no one around.

"What about people? It's impossible to disappear out of thin air!" Chai Hui and Chen Feng searched the entire room, searching under the wardrobes and beds that could hide people, and also searched the drawers and vases that couldn't hide people. No trace of the couple was found.

Apart from the door, the room didn't even have a window. To be precise, all the rooms in the Black Wind Inn had no windows because it was a fully enclosed inn.

That rules out escape through the window, so where did the couple go?
If you think about it carefully, the time when the big man's body was moved into the underground storage room was when both Chen Feng and Chai Hui let down their guard.Only in this very short period of time can the couple on the second floor have the possibility to escape...
