Chapter 704 Xu Xian (two in one chapter)(1/2)
This is the busy city of Qiantang, and this hotel is not very big.
But if it can be opened here, its business will naturally not be bad.
In addition, the old man who is the shopkeeper does have good wine-making skills. The pearl red wine passed down from his family is famous all over the country.
On weekdays, the store is always full of drinkers.
Among them, there are indispensable guests who come from far away just to taste the fine wine.
Even high-ranking officials often send their servants to buy some and bring them back to their homes.
The shop is not big, and there are only seven or eight square tables inside.
On the four walls, there are large dark wine jars stacked one after another.
At this time, the scene inside made people dare not look directly.
The floor, table, and walls were all covered in pools of sticky blood.
Tables and chairs were also overturned on the floor.
Several of the dark wine jars were broken into pieces, and the light red wine liquid with amber luster spread on the ground.
There was a mess everywhere.
Only then did people realize what the strange smell they had just smelled outside was about.
It was a strong aroma of wine, coupled with an even stronger smell of rust, mixed with a filthy rancid smell.
This rusty and rotten smell is caused by the thick pools of blood in the store.
That's blood.
Not only was it blood, but judging from the consistency, it was probably flesh and blood that had been made into something that looked like rice paste.
Also mixed with a little white, green, and black...
In short, it should be as disgusting as possible and as scary as possible.
"Boss, this is not..."
Several detectives covered their bad breath and looked at the scene in the store with disgust and a bit of surprise.
Captain Li raised his hand to interrupt.
He naturally knew what it was, because this scene was exactly the same as several cases that had happened one after another in the past few months.
But it's not appropriate to say it in a place like this, otherwise it will only make people feel jealous.
"Shopkeeper, what's going on?"
Li Captou asked casually while watching.
"Shopkeeper, I have a question for you!"
When his detective saw that the old man was just shrinking his neck, closing his eyes tightly, clasping his hands, and constantly muttering Amitabha, he slapped him angrily.
"Ouch ouch ouch!"
The old man in charge of the shop shook violently all over his body as if he had been electrocuted.
"What are you afraid of when I'm here?"
Captain Li stretched out a hand and put it on his shoulder.
The old man suddenly felt a burning heat coming from his palms, making him feel as if he was leaning on the edge of the stove, very stable.
"call"
The old man calmed down, took a long breath, and glanced at the store with lingering fear. Then he quickly looked away.
"Captain Li, this is none of my business!"
As soon as the old man opened his mouth, he cried out to Qu: "Young man has always been a kind-hearted person and has always done his duty. How could you have known that he would encounter such a disaster?"
"I didn't say it was you who did it. Why are you so anxious?"
Capt. Li said impatiently: "I am asking you what's going on? If you don't tell me clearly, I'm really going to take you back to the Yamen for interrogation!"
"No no no!"
The old shopkeeper was frightened by this and did not dare to talk any more: "Captain Li, it's not that I don't want to talk about it, but I don't know why."
"Today at noon, the old man was selling wine in the shop as usual,"
"You know Capt. Li, I don't know anything else. I've only been making wine my whole life, and everyone still supports me..."
The old shopkeeper didn't know whether it was because of his natural temperament or because he was frightened. He kept chattering and said a lot of nonsense.
Capt. Li gritted his teeth and listened patiently for a long time before he heard the old man say something important: "Capt. Li, you don't know, but this little old man was scared to death!"
The old man gestured with a horrified look on his face: "The guest was sitting peacefully, and suddenly a tent of blood, mud and filth sprayed over next to him!"
"I'm not talking nonsense..."
The old man grabbed behind him and pulled out a young man in his teens, who was the servant in his shop: "Look, he also saw it at that time, and he was sprayed with dirt!"
He spoke incoherently and repeated it several times, and people gradually understood.
It turned out that the customers in his shop were eating side dishes and drinking wine when they suddenly heard a soft bang.
Then several guests screamed in shock.
Without exception, these people all had their faces spattered with blood, mud and filth.
When everyone was in a panic, they saw a drinker suddenly disappear with a bang.
All I saw was a cloud of blood and flesh exploding.
Except for a puddle of filth left on the spot, not a piece of meat, a bone, or even a trace of hair was missing.
This time the drinkers were frightened and ran away screaming.
The mess in the store, the overturned tables and chairs, and the broken wine jars were actually all knocked over by people while escaping.
While escaping, several more people suddenly exploded into clouds of blood and disappeared.
Less than half of them finally escaped from the liquor store.
"What about the living people?"
Capt. Li turned around and asked his subordinates.
A policeman pointed to one side and said, "They're all there."
When something like this happens, people are so frightened that they never think of reporting it to the police.
But today’s Tang Dynasty cannot be judged by common sense.
Not long after this happened, the government office knew that something strange had happened, and Capt. Li rushed over with his people.
There were about seven or eight people gathered together by two policemen. Their faces were full of terror, but they did not dare to leave.
With the current prestige of the Tang Dynasty, there is no safer place than staying with the official.
"Okay, let's take everyone back to the government office for resettlement."
Li Captou glanced at the scary scene in the store, turned around and said: "Go to Guantian Pavilion and let me know, and ask a mage or scribe to come and take a look."
Guantian Pavilion is a special place established by the Emperor himself more than 300 years ago.
The elites from all over the world are invited to be enshrined. Regardless of their origins, but based on their ability, as long as they can pass the numerous examinations of the imperial court, they will be awarded the title of Bachelor of Guantian Pavilion by the Emperor of China, and they will have merit and fame.
The three religions of Buddhism, Taoism and Confucianism are all included in it, and there are even many people from all walks of life in the world.
It can be said that the Guantian Pavilion was indispensable for the great prosperity of the Tang Dynasty and the Guantian Pavilion that can be found in all states and counties all over the world.
Compared with most of the bad guys who are from martial arts backgrounds, the bachelors in Guantian Pavilion are better at dealing with such weird things.
Several similar strange cases flashed in succession, letting Captain Li know that this was no longer something they could handle.
At least with the bad guys in Qiantang County, it's not enough to catch them.
"yes!"
"It's all gone!"
One of his subordinates took the order and left, and Capt. Li waved around to drive away the crowd of onlookers.
Although these melon-eaters were frightened by the scene in the liquor store, they were also disgusted.
But he soon came to his senses, and apart from some lingering fear, there was not much fear on his face.
Because they still have great confidence in these bad guys and agents.
The Guantian Pavilion mentioned by Capt. Li made them feel even more at ease.
They were also talking and laughing, pointing at the store.
Seeing Mr. Li's appearance, he knew that Mr. Li was looking at Mr. Li's head.
With some lingering thoughts, the crowd slowly dispersed.
Captain Li waited for everyone to disperse, entered the store, and looked around. As he expected, he found nothing.
It was like this a few times before.
He is a martial artist, and his martial arts is neither weak nor outstanding, just average.
