Supreme in the world

Chapter 140 Blue Smoke
"Damn!"

Li Qing's face darkened, and he walked forward.

With a "bang", he kicked the door of A Yuanza's paper shop.

The door was made of wooden boards, and it was cracked by Li Qing's angry kick, and a hole appeared in front of the two of them.

"Go in and have a look."

As Lin Zhe spoke, he drilled inside.

Li Qing also drilled in.

When I entered A Yuan's paper shop, I could no longer see A Yuan inside.

"He runs really fast." Li Qing gritted his teeth angrily.

It took the two of them a lot of effort to find this place. They never thought that the enemy in front of them would run away.

Lin Zhe glanced at him and said coldly, "No rush."

After the words fell, he walked towards the shrine in the southeast corner.

A breath of sandalwood, clear and faint, emanates out, and the incense burner on the shrine is still burning with three sticks of incense that have not burned to the end.

Under the shrine, there are a pile of ingots and paper.

Lin Zhe pulled it with his hands, and pulled all the ingots and papers underneath to the side, revealing a small door.

Li Qing frowned and said, "Sure enough, there is a door."

It seems that the old man at the coffin shop opposite did not lie to them.

However, this small door is indeed hidden very secretly, if you don't look carefully, you can't find it at all.

Lin Zhe went to pull the doorknob, and with a "click", the small door opened.

Inside, is a secret room.

At a glance, I saw a medium-sized altar placed in the secret room.

With a serious face, Lin Zhe headed inside and got in.

Li Qing followed behind.

Inside the secret room, there are a lot of sundries. Besides the altar, there are also some paper, ingots, coins and the like.

On the edge of the wall behind the altar, paper dolls leaned one by one.

As soon as Li Qing put his waist down, he was a little frustrated and said, "Lin Zhe, what should we do now?"

Lin Zhe's eyes were solemn, and he carefully looked at the things in the secret room.

The whole secret room is not big, but Lin Zhe watched it for half a minute, and then said coldly: "This A Yuan's craftsmanship does not seem to be very good."

"Eh? What do you mean?" Li Qing was taken aback.

Lin Zhe pointed at the paper figurine with his hand, and said with a smile, "This pierced one is not a paper figurine, it's so ugly."

The paper figurine has crooked facial features and a crooked body, with two red circles on its cheeks, it looks really ridiculous.

If the paper figurines made by this craft can be sold, then Li Qing feels that the paper figurines he made can also be sold.

However, now it's not a question of whether A Yuan's paper figurine looks good or not.

Li Qing frowned, and said: "He opened the shop here, and he didn't plan to make a living by selling things, but by helping others to make a living... How much can a paper doll sell? I'm afraid... He had a ritual ceremony last night. It is worth the price of hundreds of paper figurines."

"No." Lin Zhe shook his head, walked to the edge of the altar, smiled, stretched out a hand, and wiped lightly on the altar.

Li Qing was startled, and said, "What's wrong?"

Lin Zhe raised the hand that had wiped the altar, and said with a smile, "What do you think this is?"

Li Qing was startled for a moment, but didn't see anything.

There was nothing unusual about Lin Zhe's hand, but there was just some dust on it.

Seeing Li Qing's puzzled look, Lin Zhe couldn't help rolling his eyes, and said, "When you entered this door just now, didn't you find that there was something wrong with the statue on the shrine?"

"Is there a problem? What's the problem?" Li Qing's expression changed.

Lin Zhe sneered and said, "That statue has never been lit."

"What?" Li Qing was startled, and said, "A statue that has never been consecrated, what does he worship?"

Isn't A Yuan a member of the Xuanhuang sect?

That being the case, consecrating a statue should be a breeze for him.

However, a statue of Laojun has never been consecrated, and it is still placed there, and before A Yuan escaped, he did not forget to burn three sticks of incense, why?
Lin Zhe took a deep breath and said, "He burned incense to tell us that this door is just under the statue, he was afraid that we wouldn't find it..."

"This... why did he do this?" Li Qing's eyes widened.

Lin Zhe smiled and said, "Look at the altar, there is dust all over it. You said, he used this altar to perform rituals yesterday, do you believe it?"

"That's right!" Li Qing trembled, suddenly realized, and looked at Lin Zhe's dusty hand.

Lin Zhe sneered and said, "The old man in the coffin shop opposite is lying to us."

At this moment, Li Qing, who just understood what was going on, was in a daze again.

It would be unreasonable to say that the old man at the coffin shop across the street deceived them.

There is indeed a door in this A Yuanzha paper shop?And A Yuan did escape without a trace.

The old man lied?What did you lie to?

"You...he...did you lie to us?"

Li Qing looked at Lin Zhe in surprise.

Lin Zhe smiled and said, "Let's go back to the coffin shop...we'll meet that old man..."

After speaking, without explaining to Li Qing, he went outside.

Li Qing was completely at a loss at this moment.

Shouldn't the top priority be to find the escaped A Yuan?

Why……

Why did Lin Zhe go back to the coffin shop?

The two left the A Yuan paper shop and returned to the coffin shop again.

The old man was working in the back room, wiping the paint on the coffin over and over again.

Lin Zhe and Li Qing walked in.

The old man raised his head, glanced at the two of them, smiled, and said, "Are you back to buy a coffin?"

Lin Zhe coldly snorted, and said, "Now, if you tell me your origin and who ordered you to kill us, I might let you live, or...don't blame me for being rude..."

"Lin Zhe, what did you say?" Li Qing was stunned.

The smile on the old man's face stagnated, and he was stunned. He said tremblingly, "You...what did you say?"

Lin Zhe said: "I was almost fooled by you just now... After thinking about it carefully, I figured it out... It turns out that A Yuan's paper shop is not called A Yuan at all, and the shop... should be you That's right."

"This..." The old man frowned, and said, "I only do coffin business, I'm afraid you made a mistake."

Li Qing was also startled, looked at Lin Zhe, and asked, "Then who is the A Yuan we saw?"

"Who?" Lin Zhe sneered and said, "It's just a paper doll."

"Paper man?" Li Qing was dumbfounded, and suddenly gasped.

Lin Zhe continued: "If it was really A Yuanshi's concealed killing technique last night, the altar would not have so much dust, and before we... have no conclusive evidence, there is no need for him to run...he As soon as he ran, he seemed guilty... The only explanation is that the reason why A Yuan is gone is to completely divert our goal, so that we will not think that everything is done by the old gentleman in front of us..."

"If I'm not mistaken, this coffin shop is the old man's shop, and the Ayuan paper shop opposite is also the old man's shop."
