I deliver food to Wanjie

Chapter 432 448. Help from colleagues 26
"I think this is a good idea. A few families can take turns sleeping on the beds, and the others can sleep on the floor. It's enough to have a roof over their heads. We don't know when this problem will be solved, but until it's solved, we can stay in the city for one more day."

"Yes, you see, when we came here a few days ago, this shabby inn didn't have a single guest, and the price was extremely low. But you see, the price went up yesterday, and it might go up again in a few days, and yet it's still full."

As they were talking, they saw someone with a family approaching to ask about accommodation. The shopkeeper told them with a painful look on his face, "I'm so sorry, our rooms are full, but..."

"But what?" the old man in the lead asked hurriedly.

"But there is a firewood room with some firewood piled there, but half of the room can be vacated," the shopkeeper thought to himself that the weather was not cold now, so there shouldn't be any problem. "You brought your own quilts, so you can put a layer of firewood and then the quilt on top, and make do with it."

The old man was hesitating, and the young man standing behind him said quickly, "Boss, it's okay, as long as I have a place to stay, I wonder how much it costs?"

The shopkeeper rubbed his hands, thought for a moment, and said with a smile, "Although it's just a firewood room, it's bigger than the guest room. I'll charge you 100 coins a day."

Yuntutu and his friends moved in for 400 wen, and they felt that 100 wen was acceptable. The shopkeeper was relatively reliable, at least he didn't raise the price.

Then I heard a cry of surprise from the next table, "This shopkeeper is really outrageous, charging a hundred coins for a firewood room, and this is the price we paid a few days ago.

Besides, the location of the woodshed is not good, it is close to the kitchen, and there are many people coming in and out there all day long. It smells bad and is noisy.”

"Hush," his friend beside him quickly pulled him back, "Speak a little more quietly, we dare not offend the shopkeeper.

In fact, what the shopkeeper said is not wrong. It is enough for them to have a place to stay. Otherwise, it is almost dark now, and if they run out of the city, it will be really dangerous. "

"Ah, what do you think of this? The government is so incompetent. After so many days, they still haven't caught the culprit. If people are still in such a panic, don't live here anymore. Let's flee."

“Those rich people have already moved to another city with their families, but our assets are all here, so it’s not easy to run away.

Let's see first. If it really doesn't work, then we have no choice. It's better to live a miserable life than to die."

"Let's just talk about it here. Don't talk nonsense outside. This shopkeeper is the only one who doesn't care about things and only cares about money. If it were any other shopkeeper, he would probably kick us out."

After hearing this, everyone stopped talking, leaving Yun Tutu confused. Was it a homicide or a demon?
"Brothers," Zhang Yaowen turned around and smiled at them in a friendly manner, "We all heard what you said just now. I'm just a little curious. How many cases have occurred? Are there no witnesses?"

A few men who were chatting were surprised for a moment but then didn't take it seriously. After all, it was a lobby and they were talking quite loudly, so it was normal for others to hear them.

The man closest to Zhang Yaowen said, "This is what's very strange. No one who was at the scene survived, so this has become a mystery.

Some of you seem to be from other places, so when you go out, be careful not to be alone and don’t go out at night, because every time a case happens, it happens late at night.”

"So what are you guys doing?"

"Hey, we are also local residents. We really don't dare to stay at home, so we brought our family and children out to seek shelter."

They said they were a family of all ages, but they didn’t see any of their families here.

Seeing the doubt in Zhang Yaowen's eyes, the man who had answered before said, "There is an open space behind this inn. With so many people, it is impossible for them to eat out every day. The women in the family have built a stove there, and they don't have to show up in public like us." After saying that, he looked at Chen Yuxi. It turned out that merchants did not have so many requirements. Women could actually sit at the table.

"Brother, if you want to leave here, you'd better go with the escort agency. If you are not in a hurry, try to stay here for a while. I heard that there was another murder yesterday, and it's not far from here."

Zhang Yaowen bowed to them and said, "Thank you for the reminder, brother."

"What's that?" The other party waved his hand and turned to chat with a few people again.

Zhang Yaowen was even more curious about this matter, but this was all the people below him could find out. If he wanted to get more information, he had to think of a way.

At this time, they ordered noodles. It was not that they didn't want to order more, but this inn only provided noodles. If they wanted to eat better, they had to go to another place.

A bowl of noodles was not enough for Yuntutu and his friends. Besides, they couldn’t get any other information here, so they decided to go to another place.

Chunfenglou is the best restaurant here, but its business is not as busy as the inn.

As soon as Yuntutu and his friends entered Chunfeng Tower, a waiter came up to them enthusiastically and, considering their appetite, asked for a small private room.

When I saw the prices on the menu, I realized why there weren't so many people there. It's really too expensive.

Zhang Yaowen ordered a table full of dishes, which cost nearly five taels of silver, which was not something an ordinary family could afford.

"Dear guests, some customers have not arrived yet," the waiter was happy but a little worried when seeing these dozen dishes.

"It's just the few of us here. Don't worry, bring the dishes." After saying this, Zhang Yaowen took out some silver and put it directly on the table, indicating that he would not dine and run.

The waiter happily took the silver in his hand and said, "Okay, sir, please wait a moment. I will tell the kitchen to serve you the food right away."

After the waiter left, Yun Tutu and Zhang Yaowen stood up at the same time and opened the window of the private room. There were not many pedestrians on the street below, and everyone was in a hurry.

The city, which should have been bustling, seemed a little deserted at the moment.

With just their hearing ability, they could hear the conversations in several private rooms nearby.

Filtering out some unimportant conversations, the two of them stared upstairs at the same time.

"Master Wu, what do you think we should do about this? My brothers are investigating the case every day, but they don't have any clues at all."

"Captain Lei, you can't talk to me about this, you should talk to the prefect." Wu Tongpan looked embarrassed, "I have already interceded for you in front of the prefect, but it is not a good idea to keep dragging this case on.

Why don't you just do what the adults said and go out at night and try it out. You might run into him."

Captain Lei said, "...our brothers' lives are also lives, and the murderer is extremely cruel. Do you think we can catch him if we encounter him?"
