Splendid peasant girl busy farming

Chapter 6494 Pursuit
Intoxicating incense inn.

A gloomy atmosphere permeated the courtyard, and under the faint starlight, the twisted and hanging corpses were particularly strange and inexplicable.

Ouyang Hengxin's hair was tight and his lips were dry.

The position of the arrows and crossbows in the room was calculated too delicately.

Almost all hiding places for those who enter the door are blocked.

As long as you push the door and go in, no matter how fast you are, you can't avoid the arrows and crossbows.

And judging from the blue light shining on the head of the arrow crossbow...the arrow crossbow is highly poisonous.

insidious!

Who is this harming?
A thought flashed through Ouyang Heng's mind, maybe this is going to kill Lin.

However, Lin Shi is obviously a weak woman with no strength to restrain her. Does it take such a big battle to kill her?
He had doubts in his heart, so he had an extra layer of defense against Lin.

Originally, he was just boarding in the inn to complete the rescue plan, but who would have expected that on this first night, he would encounter so many strange things, as if he had been involved in a huge conspiracy.

If I had known it earlier, I would have agreed with Luo Fengtang to come in with a helper.

Before he left, Luo Fengtang privately gave him a choice, whether to bring a master with him, although it would be more risky to go to the city with one more person, but one more person would be more supportive.

But he refused immediately.

He is a top killer, and he has great confidence in saving people this time, so he doesn't need a helper.

It's a little embarrassing now.

He thought it would be better if he had a helper.

Ouyang Heng glanced sideways, Lin's face was pale, and his whole body was trembling.

"Stand still, I'll go in and take a look."

Ouyang Heng finally decided to enter the room to see what was going on?

Pressing the edge of the window with his palm, he turned over and got in.

As soon as he landed, he rolled over, leaning against the wall, clenched the short blade in his hand, and looked around.

At this moment, his vigilance has been raised to the extreme.

But after some time, there was no other sound in the room.

Ouyang Heng stood up holding the fire folder, and slowly moved to the table near the window on the side of the room.

Light the candles on the table with a torch.

After the candles were lit, the whole room gradually brightened.

Ouyang Hengfei used the short blade in his hand to cut off the cloth, letting the hanging corpse fall down.

He took out a pair of leather gloves from the luggage, and after putting them on, he pulled out the hair covering the corpse's face.

A pale, distorted woman's face appeared in front of his eyes.

However, this appearance did not scare him.

"Shopkeeper Lin, come in and take a look."

Ouyang Heng greeted him.

Lin was trembling, standing outside, unable to move.

"You can take a look at the window."

Seeing that Mrs. Lin couldn't come in, Ouyang Heng didn't intend to force her, so he just asked her to stand at the window and look inside.

In this way, Lin slowly moved two steps.

Taking a glance, just in time to meet the corpse's round and protruding eyeballs, Lin hurriedly covered her mouth and nose, and retched twice.

"This is Mrs. Wang!"

Lin was startled.

"Who is Mrs. Wang?" Ouyang Heng asked.

There are too many women named Wang, because the surname Wang is a common surname in Daqi, and it spreads all over the country.

"Ms. Wang is the owner of the jewelry store. Her husband also passed away a few years ago. Later, she supported the shop." Lin said.

"Which jewelry store?"

"Nanchun Jewelry Shop."

"Nuanchun Jewelry Shop... Isn't that the one near Tieya Prince's Mansion?" Ouyang Heng was slightly surprised.

"Yes, that's the one."

Lin affirmed Ouyang Heng's remarks.

Nuanchun Jewelry Shop is very famous in Tieya City. Logically speaking, the shopkeeper of a prosperous shop should be very rich. How could she die in Lin's inn?

"It's over now, why did Mrs. Wang hang herself in Xiao Lin's room?"

Lin's legs and feet were weak, and his mind was in a daze.

Don't mention Xiao Lin's disappearance, just say that this Mrs. Wang is now hanged in this room, how can I make it clear what's going on.

Once the government comes over, they will probably charge her with murder.

If there are some competent officials in Daqi, maybe they can find out the truth.

But here is the prairie, as a woman from outside the prairie, it is almost difficult to be treated fairly and justly here.

The government will almost certainly take advantage of this opportunity to wipe out all her property.

As for the truth of Wang's death, it is not important to the government at all.

"She didn't hang herself."

Ouyang Heng's words stirred up waves in Lin's heart.

"Then how did she die?"

If you want to avoid blackmail from the government, the first step is to find out the truth, so that no one will sue the government and you can solve it privately.

"She was drowned."

Ouyang Heng opened the corpse's palm with his gloved hand.

"There is sand inside the nails, and there is a lot of sand on the fingers. In addition, there are fine foams on the mouth and nose, and there are folds like chicken skin on the skin."

At this time, Lin didn't care about being afraid, and rushed in from the front.

According to Ouyang Heng, she took a closer look and found that it was so.

"Then why is she hanging here?"

"Her drowning was not voluntary, it was forced. You see, there are marks of pressure on the back of the neck of the corpse, and marks of binding on the wrists. I guess, she was caught by someone, bound and pressed into the well and drowned."

Ouyang Heng is very familiar with the characteristics of death in different situations, and his guess should be closer to the truth.

"Shopkeeper Lin, think about it, do you have any enemies?"

Being able to put the corpse into the room in the backyard of the Lin's Inn, and at the same time install extremely sophisticated mechanisms inside, it's not because there is a huge hatred, it can't be done.

"The enemy..."

After thinking about it, Lin said slowly: "I have never made any enemies, maybe it has something to do with my husband."

"Brother Jiu, forgive me, this incident has affected you."

Lin bowed down and saluted with guilt.

"Things have already happened, and I can't escape. Now we have to find out the truth."

Ouyang Heng also wanted to solve this matter privately.

His identity cannot be checked in the sun.

"In this matter, you have two options. The first is to report to the officials, but the officials of Iron Fang City, you should understand, and now that Iron Fang City is taken over by the Dameng Ministry, the government may be even more dangerous. Second, resolve it privately , find the truth by yourself.”

Ouyang Heng proposed two choices, to see how Lin chooses, so that he can respond.

"You can't report to the official." Lin shook his head.

"Then we can only investigate privately."

Ouyang Heng paced and said: "Move Mrs. Wang's body away first, and then find a new place to stay. Your inn can no longer accommodate people."

"But my husband's tablet is still there..." Mrs. Lin hesitated.

"Your husband's body is still there?"

"Only the old clothes. Husband died in a foreign land in Daxia. The people who heard the news said that he had already burned it on the spot." Lin said.
