Chapter 49 Time to Call Someone

I looked at the three sets of wine and dishes in front of me and said, "Now we can call someone."

Cang Tianji immediately said, "Shopkeeper Jia, how about coming out to meet us?"

Shopkeeper Jia's voice quickly appeared outside the door: "What are your orders, esteemed guests?"

I pointed to the room full of food and said, "Is your inn afraid we won't have enough to eat? You sent three servings of the same dishes. Tell me, which one should I start with?"

Shopkeeper Jia forced a smile: "This... this is probably a mistake by the kitchen. How about this, I'll immediately order them to remake it and personally bring it to you?"

I raised my hand and said, "No need! None of these three servings of food can be eaten. They've all been poisoned."

"You said that tenants in the inn often do those shady things, which I don't really mind. We martial artists are always caught between killing and being killed."

"But..."

I changed my tone and said, "I can't accept someone using the inn's name to kill people."

"Are you saying that the Yin-Yang Inn is a place with no rules at all, or is it helping certain people to make money and kill?"

Shopkeeper Jia's face changed, but he immediately returned to his smile: "Esteemed guest, you can't say that. Our inn has a reputation to uphold. How could we do such a thing?"

I spread my hands and said, "I came to the inn not to scheme against anyone, to fight to the death. I can compromise on some things, but I can't compromise on others."

"Since this matter is related to your inn, and Shopkeeper Jia doesn't have a reasonable explanation, I don't think I need to stay in this inn any longer. Refund my money! I'll leave immediately."

"Or, Shopkeeper Jia can introduce me to another area."

Shopkeeper Jia's face instantly turned uncertain, and after a while, he said, "Please wait a moment, I'll go and give you an explanation."

I smiled and said, "Okay, I'll wait for you!"

Shopkeeper Jia cupped his fist and turned to leave, soon returning with two bloody packages in his hands.

Shopkeeper Jia placed the packages on the table and opened them, saying, "Please take a look."

He brought two human heads, one of which was the waiter who had just come, and the other was a tenant from an unknown room. However, that head was indeed freshly cut off.

I smiled faintly and said, "Shopkeeper Jia is really joking."

"If this person wanted to poison me, would he poison me three times in a row?"

"Isn't this clearly telling me that the food can't be eaten?"

"Shopkeeper Jia, if you don't want to give us an explanation, you can just say so directly, why go to such lengths?"

Shopkeeper Jia's face was as gloomy as it could be: "Esteemed guest! This is truly the only person who poisoned you. I can swear."

As Shopkeeper Jia spoke, he raised his hand.

I laughed and said, "Enough, enough, I believe Shopkeeper Jia."

Shopkeeper Jia conveniently lowered his hand: "Then I won't disturb you any further. Come, serve the wine and dishes."

The maids who had been waiting outside filed in, not only re-serving the wine and dishes, but also quickly cleaning up the heads on the table. Judging by their movements, they were used to such things.

Shopkeeper Jia specially closed the door for us when he left.

I picked up my chopsticks and said while eating, "There are still some rules in the Yin-Yang Inn. That Shopkeeper Jia seems to be afraid of us asking for a refund and leaving the inn."

Ling frowned and said, "The matter of the Yin-Yang Inn may be more complicated than we thought..."

As Ling was speaking, Su Su suddenly said "Huh?" When I turned to look, Su Su had already picked up a note from the plate: "What is this?"

I gestured for Su Su to put the note on the table, and after carefully opening the note with my chopsticks, I was immediately stunned: "Zhao Yue Zhu, he's in the Yin-Yang Inn?"

The handwriting on the note was clearly from Zhao Yue Zhu, and the content of the note also said: "Come, meet at Villa Eighty-One."

Ling said, "When I came in, I carefully observed the buildings here. Villa Eighty-One should be in this location..."

Ling drew two strokes on the table with her chopsticks, roughly marking the location of Eighty-One.

I quietly slipped out of the back window, jumped onto the roof, and looked in the direction Ling pointed. There was indeed a villa over there, but it looked like it had been abandoned for many years. Not only were the doors and windows missing, but the walls were also covered with moss.

From my position, a face actually appeared in that eerie villa. The other person seemed to be standing by the window, staring in my direction as if looking directly at me.

I immediately gasped.

There was at least a thousand meters between me and Villa Eighty-One. An ordinary person could only see the outline of the villa at most. Even if my eyesight was better, it would be impossible to see the facial features of the figure in the window.

But I happened to see a pair of round eyes, as if someone had cut off the eyelids.

Did the ghost over there deliberately let me see her?

No, she wants to capture my soul!
