Hearing this, Shopkeeper Wang hurriedly looked down at the account book, looked at it carefully for a while, then raised his head and said with a smile, "Two poor masters, it's too coincidental, Li Yuemei lives in room 15, room 14 is occupied, room 16 is empty!" ”

Speaking of this, Shopkeeper Wang's tone paused, and then continued, "Two poor masters, why don't you hide in room sixteen, what do you think?" ”

Hearing the words of the shopkeeper Wang, Liu Tiansheng nodded with satisfaction, "Yes, you are very supportive of our work, we are very satisfied!" ”

Hearing Liu Tiansheng's praise, Shopkeeper Wang immediately laughed a few times, and then waved his hand and called a man.

"Xiao Han, you take the two messengers to room sixteen."

When Liu Tiansheng heard this, he hugged his fist at Shopkeeper Wang, and said with a smile, "Shopkeeper Wang, thank you!" ”

Shopkeeper Wang hurriedly got up and returned the salute, "It should be, it should be ......." ”

The rooms of the castle inn are arranged from the east side of the first floor, with only twelve rooms on the first floor and eighteen rooms on the second floor due to the hall.

The stairs to the second floor are not set in the lobby, but next to the patio in the backyard.

The man led the two out of the hall, down the stairs to the second floor, down the long hallway, towards the west.

When he went up to the second floor, Liu Tiansheng kept paying attention to the movements around him.

On the door of each room, the room number is hung, and the staircase is room fourteen.

The long hallway, with rooms on one side and the atrium of the inn on the other.

The man led the two forward, and soon saw the door number of room 15.

Liu Tiansheng took a closer look at the room, but found that the room was pitch black, as if the people in the room had slept and had not lit the lamp.

After walking a short distance in front of the door of room 15, I came to the door of room 16.

The man stepped forward and pushed the door open, walked into the room, took out the fire fold and lit the oil lamp on the table, then turned to the two and smiled and said, "You two ......." ”

Before Liu Tiansheng could finish speaking, he hurriedly waved his hand to interrupt what he wanted to say, "Okay, you go back quickly, you don't have to worry about the things here!" ”

When the man heard this, he nodded hurriedly and turned to leave.

Liu Tiansheng sent the man to the door, closed the door carefully, then came to the table and sat down, turned his head to look in the room, and was about to speak, but saw Xu Zhiwei moving a chair to the wall separated from room 15.

Seeing this, Liu Tiansheng hurriedly moved a chair and carefully placed it next to Xu Zhiwei's chair, and the person also sat down.

Xu Zhiwei looked at Liu Tiansheng, sighed, turned around and came to the table, blew out the oil lamp on the table in one breath, and the room suddenly fell into darkness.

Liu Tiansheng was about to speak, but he heard that Xu Zhiwei had already walked back in the dark.

Liu Tiansheng immediately understood what Xu Zhiwei meant, stopped talking, put his ear on the wall, and began to listen to the movement in room 15.

In room fifteen, there was hardly a sound, as if no one was living there.

The two of them didn't dare to make a sound, so they listened quietly.

But this time it was different from just now, it was next door just now, but Fu Lu and Fu Gui kept talking, and the two of them eavesdropped on the side, but they didn't notice anything.

But now, there was no sound in room 15, the surroundings were quiet, and the two of them listened quietly for a long time with a stick of incense, Liu Tiansheng couldn't help but snort, so frightened that he hurriedly reached out to cover his mouth and slowly exhaled his breath.

After beating the haqi, Liu Tiansheng was stunned for a while, slowly poked his head into Xu Zhiwei's ear, and whispered, "Xu Zhiwei, you say, is there anyone in room 15?" ”

Xu Zhiwei frowned, and also put it on Liu Tiansheng's ear, and said in a low voice, "How do I know, I didn't go to room fifteen to see?" ”

After hearing Xu Zhiwei's words, Liu Tiansheng suddenly smiled and said in a low voice, "I'm going to take a look?" ”

When Xu Zhiwei heard this, he was taken aback, and was about to say something to stop him, but he saw that Liu Tiansheng had already stood up and taken down the fast suit.

Liu Tiansheng waved his hand at this Xu Zhiwei, and strode towards the door.

When Xu Zhiwei was puzzled, Liu Tiansheng had already come to the door, opened the door, and walked out.

Xu Zhiwei was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly chased out, and at the door, Xu Zhiwei looked next to him and saw that Liu Tiansheng had come to the door of room 15.

Bang bang .......

Liu Tiansheng knocked on the door a few times and shouted in a low voice, "Is there anyone in the house, my oil lamp is out, and the fire fold is gone, can you borrow my fire fold to use it!" ”

After hearing Liu Tiansheng's words, Xu Zhiwei breathed a sigh of relief, retracted his head back into the door, and listened carefully to the movement next to him.

Liu Tiansheng shouted for a while, but he didn't hear an echo in the house, and when he was puzzled, suddenly, a low female voice responded from inside the house.

"No, you can go to another room and ask!"

After hearing this voice, Liu Tiansheng was stunned for a moment, and then, he hurriedly responded and hurriedly returned to the room.

Liu Tiansheng entered the room, closed the door, and then said with a low smile, "No problem, there are people in the room, we just need to guard it well, and it's okay." ”

Hearing this, Xu Zhiwei nodded, turned his head to look at the wall, and suddenly lowered his voice and said, "Liu Tiansheng, this won't work, if the two of us are guarding, this is so close, I'm afraid we will all fall asleep." ”

Speaking of this, Xu Zhiwei's tone paused, and then continued, "I don't think it's as good as this, the two of us go to guard in shifts, one goes to the wall to listen, and one goes to sleep, so that everyone doesn't have to be too tired, what do you think?" ”

When Liu Tiansheng heard this, he nodded hurriedly, "Okay, it's decided, you go to sleep first, I'll stay for a while!" ”

After hearing Liu Tiansheng's words, Xu Zhiwei was not polite, nodded directly, and walked in the direction of the bed.

Liu Tiansheng glanced at Xu Zhiwei, and also turned around and walked towards the wall.

Coming to the wall, Liu Tiansheng chose a comfortable position and sat down, put his head on the wall, and began to listen carefully to the movement next door.

The two of them have also done a lot of things this day, and they are tired after tossing for so long.

Not long after Xu Zhiwei lay on the bed, he snored and fell asleep.

Liu Tiansheng listened to Xu Zhiwei's snoring while listening carefully to the movement next door.

There was no sound next door, but through the temptation just now, Liu Tiansheng already knew that there was indeed someone next door, and he didn't dare to be careless, so he had been listening carefully.

But it's a pity that until Xu Zhiwei got up to change shifts, he only heard a cough from next door, and other than that, there was no movement.

Liu Tiansheng's eyes had already adapted to the darkness, and he couldn't help but yawn when he saw Xu Zhiwei coming over.

Listening to the movement next door, he is really tired and tired, if Xu Zhiwei does not come to change shifts, I am afraid he will really fall asleep.

Xu Zhiwei waved his hand at Liu Tiansheng and motioned for him to go over and rest for a while.

Liu Tiansheng nodded, stood up, cautiously came to the bedside, and crept down again, for fear of alarming the people next door.

At this moment, it has been nearly three watches, and it is the time when you are sleepy.

Although Xu Zhiwei has slept for a while, he is still sleepy.

He shook his head vigorously and pinched his eyebrows again, only then did he feel a little less sleepy and a little more energetic.

Xu Zhiwei also pressed his head against the wall and listened to the movement next door.

Creak.......

A slight sound reached Xu Zhiwei's ears, which made his spirit suddenly shake, he was completely sleepy, and his eyes, which were originally squinted, suddenly widened.

Creak.......

What was that?

Xu Zhiwei frowned, and quickly thought in his heart, what would make this sound, and at the same time, he should try to distinguish where the sound came from.

If it weren't for the silence of the night, such a faint sound would have been almost inaudible.

Suddenly, Xu Zhiwei stood up abruptly and walked lightly towards the door.

He could already hear it, the voice coming from the door next door.

Someone is priing the door!

Xu Zhiwei came to the door, thought about it, and was afraid that he would not be able to cope with it alone, so he slowly came to the bedside, covered Liu Tiansheng's mouth with one hand, and pushed him vigorously with the other hand.

Liu Tiansheng, who was sleeping soundly, was suddenly woken up by Xu Zhiwei and was about to exclaim, but because Xu Zhiwei had already covered his mouth, he could only make a muffled sound.

Xu Zhiwei saw that Liu Tiansheng was awake, and hurriedly whispered, "Liu Tiansheng, wake up quickly, it seems that someone is coming!" ”

After hearing Xu Zhiwei's words, Liu Tiansheng suddenly perked up, sat up suddenly, then came to his senses, got out of bed gently, and walked towards the door with Xu Zhiwei.

The two came to the door, looked at each other, and both nodded slightly. Xu Zhiwei stepped forward and grabbed the doorknob, forcibly suppressed his nervousness, and slowly opened the door a crack.

Liu Tiansheng hurriedly poked his head out of the half-open door, and was suddenly stunned.

A man in black was standing in front of the door of room fifteen, and in his hand, there was a shiny thing that shone in the moonlight.

Seeing this man in black, Liu Tiansheng was nervous and suddenly shouted.

"Who are you?"

As he spoke, Liu Tiansheng had already slammed the door open and jumped out of the door.

Seeing this, Xu Zhiwei didn't dare to slack off, directly pulled out his waist knife, and rushed out with Liu Tiansheng.

As soon as Liu Tiansheng rushed out of the room, the man in black had already heard his shout, but he was slightly stunned, and then quickly came to the railing of the corridor near the patio, and jumped off the railing.

Seeing this, Liu Tiansheng hurriedly came to the railing quickly, and was about to jump down, but after seeing the situation underground, he was suddenly taken aback.

From the railing on the second floor, all the way to the ground, I am afraid that it is more than three meters high.

At such a high height, Liu Tiansheng dared to guarantee that if he dared to jump, he would definitely break his leg.

Liu Tiansheng hesitated, and saw that the man in black had jumped off the railing and landed safely, as if he had not been affected by the height, and as soon as he fell to the ground, he quickly rushed towards the courtyard wall behind.

Seeing this, Liu Tiansheng didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly ran along the corridor towards the stairs.

Before he ran far, Liu Tiansheng, who had been paying attention to the movement of the man in black, was shocked to find that after the man in black quickly rushed to the courtyard wall, he actually rushed to the courtyard wall with the help of inertia, a few ups and downs, and the next moment, the man in black had disappeared from the wall at the courtyard wall.

Seeing this, Liu Tiansheng was already sweating profusely, quickly went down the stairs to the patio, and ran under the backyard wall with Xu Zhiwei.

The two have cooperated for a long time, and sometimes they don't have to speak, so they naturally know what they should do.

Xu Zhiwei stood firm, immediately grabbed his hands together, and held them in front of him.

Liu Tiansheng was also not polite, and directly stepped on Xu Zhiwei's hands.

This time, Xu Zhiwei didn't wait for Liu Tiansheng to speak, and after feeling that Liu Tiansheng stood firm, he slowly lifted Liu Tiansheng up with both arms.

Liu Tiansheng grabbed the wall with both hands, and with a fierce force, he climbed onto the wall, and hurriedly looked out, but sighed secretly in his heart.

Outside the backyard wall of the city inn is a very remote alley.

At this moment, by the light of the moon, Liu Tiansheng could barely see clearly, and the two sides of the alley were empty.

Liu Tiansheng sighed, took out the rope, and pulled Xu Zhiwei up.

As soon as Xu Zhiwei climbed the wall, he heard a sound of talking coming from the courtyard.

Several guys from the inn, after hearing the sound outside, had already rushed out of the room to check the movement outside.

After seeing the two people on the wall of the courtyard, one of the guys was already screaming in shock.

"Catch them!"

After shouting these words, the men rushed towards the side of the courtyard wall with wooden sticks.

Hearing the shouts of the guys, Liu Tiansheng was so anxious that a cold sweat suddenly broke out on his forehead, and he shouted loudly to the guys under the wall, "Don't scream, we are people from the yamen, and we are here to handle the case this time, not gangsters." ”

Speaking of this, Liu Tiansheng's tone paused, and then continued, "Someone ran from this courtyard, you tell everyone to be careful!" ”

As they spoke, the men had already rushed to the wall, and by the moonlight, they could also see the service of the two, and knew that what they said was not a lie.

One guy yelled, "Let's go check it out!" ”

As he spoke, the fellow had already taken a ladder from the room next to him and put it on the courtyard wall.

Seeing this, Liu Tiansheng was suddenly overjoyed, and hurriedly beckoned to a few guys, come up, let's go and have a look.

After a few guys came up, Liu Tiansheng and Xu Zhiwei slowly jumped down from the wall and came to the alley behind the wall.

Seeing this, the guys on the wall also hurriedly slipped down the courtyard wall and quickly came to Liu Tiansheng and Xu Zhiwei's side.

Liu Tiansheng turned his head to look at Xu Zhiwei and said in a low voice, "Xu Zhiwei, you take two people, I take two people, and we will go to find them separately." ”

Hearing this, Xu Zhiwei nodded hurriedly, and led the two guys towards the end of the alley.

Liu Tiansheng also led the two men and ran towards the other side.

This small alley is not long, and it didn't take long for Liu Tiansheng to lead people to the mouth of the alley.

This small alley is a street leading to the front.

At this moment, it was already the second half of the night, and there was no one on the street in front of Liu Tiansheng.

Seeing this scene, Liu Tiansheng secretly sighed, knowing that he had missed the opportunity this time!

When Liu Tiansheng brought people back, Xu Zhiwei also brought people back.

Before Liu Tiansheng stepped forward to ask, Xu Zhiwei had already preemptively asked, "Liu Tiansheng, how are you over there?" ”

When Liu Tiansheng heard this, he smiled bitterly and shook his head, but he didn't ask Xu Zhiwei, because he already knew that Xu Zhiwei would definitely have nothing to do, otherwise, he wouldn't have asked himself.

Xu Zhiwei frowned and looked at both sides of the alley, and sighed, "Let him run away this time, I'm afraid he won't come tonight!" ”

After hearing Xu Zhiwei's words, Liu Tiansheng also sighed.
