"Go to the kitchen?"

Ouyang Heng stepped forward, and he found that the kitchen door was unlocked, but he didn't push it open, but asked Mrs. Lin what she meant.

"Okay, guest officer, please come in." Lin's voice was low.

"Shopkeeper Lin, you're being polite. Just call me Ah Jiu. I'll open the door and go in. You stand behind."

Ouyang Heng was worried that there was danger hidden inside.

After all, the puppet master's reputation is not good, and no one knows whether he has left behind.

Ouyang Heng touched the doorknob with his palm, and while pulling it open, he jumped sideways.

If someone throws a knife inside, you can hide in time.

However, it is very quiet inside, and at a glance, there is a thick darkness that cannot be dispelled.

Ouyang Heng took the fire folder and walked into the kitchen.

The scope of the kitchen is not small, but after a glance, there is nothing strange.

A big inn with accommodation and meals is not considered an ordinary house in Iron Tooth City, and it is normal to have such a big kitchen.

"Apart from you and Xiao Lin, is there anyone else? What about the cook and helpers? Where do they live?" Ouyang Heng asked.

"Brother Nine, the cooks and helpers have all gone home." Mrs. Lin followed.

"There's no one in the kitchen..."

"Could you have gone home? Where does Xiao Lin live?" Ouyang Heng asked.

"He lives in the back, want to go and see?"

"Going right now."

Ouyang Heng came out of the kitchen with a fire bag. As a senior killer, he is particularly sensitive to the smell of blood, especially the smell of human blood.

He sniffed around in the kitchen...

There is indeed a bloody smell, but they are all like chickens, ducks, geese, pigs and cattle, without the smell of human blood.

However, the absence of bloody smell does not mean that there is no problem.

It's just that there are no more clues in the kitchen in front of him.

Walking along the corridor outside the kitchen, another courtyard appears in front of you.

Just like the outside, the lights are all off.

"It used to be the house where my parents lived... Later, Xiao Lin moved in. He is my cousin. He used to be far away, but he came to join me the year before last." Mrs. Lin talked while walking.

"Where is his room?"

Ouyang Heng glanced at it. There are quite a few rooms here, without lights, and they can't see clearly just by the fire.

Some of the dark clouds in the sky have dissipated, and some stars have fallen, giving the yard a hazy light.

However, Ouyang Heng always felt uncomfortable.

"Xiao Lin lives here." Mrs. Lin pointed to a doorway.

Ouyang Heng suddenly felt his heart beat faster, and he felt something was wrong when he looked at this door.

"Don't go there yet, I'll find a place to enter the house."

Ouyang Heng immediately ruled out the idea of ​​entering through the main entrance of the house.

As long as it makes him feel uncomfortable, he will not enter easily, because it means unknown danger.

Obviously, there is probably danger in this house.

There are windows on the side.

Ouyang Heng leaned his fingers against the window, exerting a little force...

The windows were closed tightly and could not be opened from the outside.

However, this did not bother Ouyang Heng.

When he turned his palm over, a long wire appeared in his palm.

He held one end, put the other end in, and fiddled with it from the back.

After retracting the wire, Ouyang Heng pushed with his palm...

"Gra..."

With a sound, the window slowly opened from the inside.

Ouyang Heng didn't go in directly, but took out a ball, a ball with elasticity.

A rope is wrapped around the ball.

He holds one end, ready to toss the ball across the room.

Because the ball itself is elastic, plus Ouyang Heng is manipulating it behind.

In this way, after the ball enters the room, many traps can be broken.

However, Ouyang Heng stopped before throwing it in.

Standing behind him, Mrs. Lin covered her mouth with her hands, her eyes were round, her face was pale and frightened.

At this moment, not only Lin, but also Ouyang Heng saw it.

In the middle of the room, a figure hangs from the roof beams, a white figure with disheveled hair and hanging.

Although the light was not good, Ouyang Heng could tell that the person hanging inside was a real person, not a paper man!

Lin's heart was about to jump out of her throat.

If it weren't for Ouyang Heng standing in front of her, she would pass out now.

She was timid at first, how could she stand such a fright.

"do not move."

Ouyang Heng exhorted.

The situation inside is very weird now, he has to make arrangements in advance, and Lin can't be allowed to go there.

In any case, the ball in the hand still has to be thrown.

However, this time he threw the ball directly at the body of the person hanging inside.

"Snapped!"

The ball hit his body, and the sound made Ouyang Heng confirm two points.

First, the person hanging inside is indeed a real person.

Second, this person is already dead, a corpse, and his body is already stiff, which means that he did not die just now, but has been dead for a while.

The ball pops out and bounces around the room.

"Shhhhh..."

Arrows and crossbows were shot from three different directions, such as the foot of the bed and the roof beam, rushing in different directions at extremely fast speeds.

Ouyang Heng's heart froze.

……

Changping Village.

Yang Huazhong finally raised his head, and his eyes fell on Yang Huamei with some impatience: "If you are really worried about family affairs, you can go back, if you can stay, then stay and deal with the two together, you are not a child, you a decision."

Yang Huazhong's words made Yang Huamei even more embarrassed.

As soon as she gritted her teeth, she simply broke free from Tan's hand and turned her head to go out. Tan quickly stopped her two steps: "Isn't it just a few bites of breakfast? How long has it been since you ate with your maid? This is your third brother's house. It's your mother's family, don't give up, come back!"

Yang Huamei was dragged back to the table by Mrs. Tan, and sat down on the table.

Only then did she realize that Mrs. Sun had prepared her chopsticks a long time ago.

"Thank you, sister-in-law three."

She thanked her in a low voice, her face burning hot.

Yang Huazhong ate with his head depressed, he didn't look at Yang Huamei, he didn't ask questions about Dabai, and he never mentioned Tan's eyesight recovery, anyway, he knew it well.

Except for saying hello to Yang Huamei at first, Mrs. Sun also ate in silence at other times.

Tan didn't say much.

The atmosphere at the table was a little dull.

Yang Huamei casually ate a bowl of porridge, half a steamed bun, and a salted duck egg.

Holding the steamed bun in his hand, he said to Yang Huazhong nervously: "Third Brother..."

"Ah."

"About the 40 taels that Dabai borrowed from you..."

She took a cautious look at Yang Huazhong again, and found that Yang Huazhong's attention was all on the porridge bowl in front of him. The porridge was soaked with broken steamed buns, and he ate and drank, as if he didn't pay much attention to her words.

"Third brother, in fact, I went to town a few days ago to urge him, but before I could speak, I quarreled with him about other things."

"Well, I know about it, it's a pig's head." Yang Huazhong said calmly.
