Chapter 24 Human Face Lantern
From Jiang Zuimo's previous understanding, the human skin lantern is a relatively low-key thing, except for the shopkeeper and the waiter, no one can tell that it is a personal leather lantern, and the shopkeeper and the waiter will not advertise that there is a personal leather lantern. .
In fact, it can be understood after thinking about it, because the human skin lantern is a very ominous thing after all, if it spreads, it will not be good for the entire Meilong Inn.
Jiang Zuimo hadn't seen the lantern before, but he also knew that if it could be hidden from people, it should be the kind of clean human skin, similar to cloth.
But this time the human skin lantern was different, it was covered with blood, not to mention fresh, it was still flowing, dripping drop by drop to the ground.
Originally, the lantern was hung very high, and most people would not pay attention to it when they came in and out. This time, it was only because the dripping blood dripped on a passer-by, and the passer-by screamed.
When Jiang Zuimo arrived, there was a gust of wind, and the lantern was shaken and turned around.
It was a face.
No matter how courageous Jiang Zuimo is, he is also a person who is afraid of ghosts. After seeing this, he froze for a moment and then screamed in fright: "Ah—"
But her screaming was not eye-catching, because besides her, many people present also screamed, and even some timid people were so frightened that they fainted!
Lu Xiaofeng and Hua Manlou arrived quietly amidst the screams, Hua Manlou said in a low voice, "What happened?"
Jiang Zuimo was so disgusted that he wanted to vomit: "Let Lu Xiaofeng tell you."
Lu Xiaofeng: "A lantern at the entrance of the inn has turned into a human skin lantern with blood on it."
Hua Manlou said: "I can smell it, there is a very strong smell of blood in the air, and..."
Lu Xiaofeng sighed: "Besides, the wind blew just now, and the lantern turned around, revealing a human face."
Now that the wind had stopped and so had the lanterns, the faceless face looked less scary to them.
"I always think that face looks familiar." Jiang Zuimo said after calming down for a while, "It looks like the person who quarreled with the shopkeeper yesterday."
To be able to remember so deeply, in addition to the impressive attitude of this person, it is also because this person is really ugly and has characteristics.
Jiang Zuimo only took one look, and remembered the big black mole next to his nose, with a thick black hair on it, a bit like the flowers she had seen in movies before.
Really impressive.
When the lantern turned around just now, the hair on the black mosque fluttered in the wind, and Jiang Zuimo felt scared just looking at it.
Now that I think about it, I can recognize people.
At that time, Lu Xiaofeng was not there, Huamanlou couldn't see it, Huamanlou couldn't recognize people based on appearance alone, so only Jiang Zuimo could tell.
Jiang Zuimo said: "Yesterday, this person made a big fuss, but there seems to be no solution, who knows..."
Lu Xiaofeng smiled, but his smile looked very different from usual, Jiang Zuimo couldn't tell what was wrong, he always felt that he looked scary.
"That is, letting a person die is the best way to shut him up."
"Not necessarily." Hua Manlou said, "It's also a warning in a certain sense. At least, we have now confirmed that this human skin lantern is also related to the shopkeeper of the inn, Xiaoer."
Hearing what he said, Jiang Zuimo subconsciously looked at the shopkeeper. The shopkeeper calmly calmed the emotions of the people around him, and promised that as long as everyone didn't tell anyone about today's affairs, they would be free of charge if they came to the inn for dinner.
For the time being, I don't know if the onlookers will spread the word, anyway, most people say that they won't say it.
Most of the people hanging around the entrance of the inn are merchants who come and go, and they will leave in a few days. For them, it is better to get immediate benefits than to meddle in their own business.
Merchants value profits, so they are easy to buy.
As for the rest of the people...
Jiang Zuimo glanced at them, and they seemed to be very timid, and they also closed their mouths after seeing the signboard of Meilong Inn.
"Should we report to the police?" After all, he grew up in a peaceful age, and Jiang Zuimo's idea is still very traditional. If there is a problem, he should go to the police.
Now is a society without police, but there are six gates with government offices. Jiang Zuimo doesn't think this person can still live after his face is torn off like this, so reporting to the police is the best choice.
Lu Xiaofeng looked at Jiang Zuimo with a smile: "Just look at the behavior of those ordinary people. The government here definitely has a laissez-faire attitude towards this matter. Otherwise, for such a big matter, someone would have already reported it to the government. The arresters are here too."
Jiang Zuimo: "..."
In any era, there is a phenomenon of lazy government, especially in a remote town like Westgate, where the sky is high and the emperor is far away, so it is not uncommon for the government to do nothing.
Lu Xiaofeng said: "Besides, Jin Jiuling begged us to come this time, who is Jin Jiuling? The chief arrester of Six Doors, if he really thinks that the arresters here are reliable, he would not ask me to come gone."
Jiang Zuimo: "..." The previous sentence sounded reasonable, but why did she feel that the latter sentence was a personal attack on Jin Jiuling?
Coincidentally, some people besides her felt the same way.
"Lu Xiaofeng, you can't arrange me like this behind your back because I'm far away?" A middle-aged man's voice sounded from behind them.
The voice is deep and magnetic, and it is a very charming voice.
Jiang Zuimo turned around, and saw a man wearing a blue brocade robe, with a mustache like Lu Xiaofeng standing behind them, smiling coquettishly.
To put it simply and crudely, he is like a low profile version of Lu Xiaofeng.
Seeing him, Lu Xiaofeng raised his eyebrows: "Jin Jiuling, didn't I hear the sound of you walking over? I just said this for you."
Jin Jiuling laughed: "Wait a while, I will talk to you after I receive the scene."
Jin Jiuling did not come alone this time, he also brought all the police officers from the Meilong Town government over, and soon surrounded the inn.
Now even Xiao Er, who was still busy in the inn, came out. Seeing the government officials outside, both he and the shopkeeper's faces were dark, and they whispered in a low voice, Jiang Zuimo couldn't hear clearly.
Jiang Zuimo poked Hua Manlou, "What are they talking about?"
Hua Manlou's hearing is much better: "They are discussing who reported to the government, this matter does not seem good, let's go on, if it really doesn't work..."
Hua Manlou was silent for a while: "Just kill all these officers and soldiers."
In fact, it can be understood after thinking about it, because the human skin lantern is a very ominous thing after all, if it spreads, it will not be good for the entire Meilong Inn.
Jiang Zuimo hadn't seen the lantern before, but he also knew that if it could be hidden from people, it should be the kind of clean human skin, similar to cloth.
