Chapter 243 It’s done
At night, everything is silent.
There is no moon tonight, so the stars appear to be extraordinarily numerous, flickering in the sky.
A deliberately low male voice broke the silence, "Mrs. Shang, is the murderer really going to come?"
Shen Qi hunched over and leaned against the window, squinting and looking out through the open gap.
Except for the candlelight that lit up the room opposite, the rest of the place was dark, and only a faint outline could be seen.
"If you were a murderer and knew that someone had seen your face, would you come to kill and silence you?"
"If I were the murderer," Shen Qi thought seriously for a moment and shook his head, "If I don't come, this is obviously a trap."
How stupid is it to not go to the government to report to the government and ask for asylum, but to stay in the house and wait for someone to kill you?
"So you are not the murderer." Shang Wan reached out and closed the window completely, turned around and said, "This murderer killed six people in a row. He dared to do it under the eyes of the officers and soldiers. He is more courageous than you."
Maybe the murderer enjoyed the excitement of challenging the authority of the government.
Just when Shen Qi was about to retort that he was very brave, Shang Wan suddenly raised his hand and made a silencing gesture, "Shh~"
Someone is coming.
Shen Qi subconsciously covered his mouth, blinked his eyes, and silently asked what to do next.
Shang Wan didn't have time to pay attention to him, so he gently opened the door and slipped out through the crack.
Shen Qi hesitated for a moment, then stepped lightly and walked out quietly.
In the opposite room, on the desk by the window, a white candle was half burned.
The young man who was looking at the account book by the candlelight glanced at the candles on the table, and his heart pounded.
It's been two hours, the murderer shouldn't be here, right?
He wanted to go to the opposite room to seek shelter from Shang Wan, but he was afraid that if he didn't follow the plan, Shang Wan would attack him directly.
He is just a small accountant, why would he get involved in such a thing?
Wow, he is so difficult!
The young man lowered his head and thought, but the young man didn't notice that the candle on the desk suddenly started to sway, and the shadows on the wall behind him began to shake, gradually becoming ferocious.
Quietly, a shadow appeared on the wall, slowly approaching the young man.
"Why is the light so small?" The young man rubbed his sour eyes and glanced in the direction of the candle.
Suddenly he caught sight of something out of the corner of his eye, and the young man's heart skipped a beat.
There was someone else in the room besides him!
This realization almost made the young man's whole body freeze in place, and he even forgot to put down the hand that was rubbing his eyes.
It's over, it's over, my life is decided here!
Mother, my son is unfilial!
Almost at the same time, a very light laugh came from behind, and it was indistinguishable from male to female.
The young man felt goosebumps all over his body when he heard it, but he was also freed from the inexplicable stiffness.
He bit the tip of his tongue hard and wanted to run out as soon as he propped himself up on the table.
But it was too late, the cold wind caused by the blunt instrument had already reached the back of his head.
It’s over!
Just as the thought passed through his mind, the window in front of the young man was suddenly broken open, and a plain-colored figure broke through the window and kicked the axe-wielding man behind the young man away.
There was only a loud "bang" sound, which made the candle light start to shake again.
Shang Wan raised his foot and kicked the ax to the corner, and then kicked the man in black lying on the ground.
"It's settled, come in." She shouted outside, squatted down, and stretched out her hand to turn over the man in black whose face was on the ground.
woman!
A woman with a large scar on the left side of her face!
Under the flickering candlelight, the scar that occupied half of his face like thorns looked particularly hideous. Judging from the combined experience of two lifetimes, the woman's face was burned.
"Is this the murderer?" Shen Qi rushed in with others and squatted down next to Shang Wan.
Shang Wan reached out and pushed aside the woman's scattered black hair to reveal her left ear. There was indeed a gap in the auricle.
This person should be the figure that the young man saw.
"Come here and recognize me." Shang Wan waved to the young man.
The young man did not dare to have the slightest objection, so he had no choice but to walk over and look down carefully.
At first glance, he startled the woman with the scar on her face.
"Ha." The woman sneered, looking at the young man with sinister and poisonous eyes, like a poisonous snake.
"Come here." Shang Wan covered the woman's eyes and turned to look at the young man, "If you take one step back, I will beat you."
youth:"……"
Feeling grievances and grievances, he tried his best to ignore the scars that were not covered, and took a closer look at the woman's left ear.
After a while, he confirmed: "The person I saw was her."
It would be easy to handle.
Shang Wan let go of the woman's eyes and brushed the hair back to the side to cover the woman's missing ears.
She looked directly into the woman's hateful eyes and asked, "Did you kill everyone in the caravan?"
…
…
"Boss Zhan, sign it quickly." Madam Lou put the brush into Boss Zhan's hand and tried to persuade her, "It's good to sell a caravan for ten thousand taels for a caravan that has lost people's hearts and still has people dying one after another. If the delay continues, the murderer will continue. Kill a few, but you won’t even lose ten thousand taels.”
Boss Zhan was hesitant while holding the brush. A good caravan would only sell for 10,000 taels, so he was unwilling to accept it.
"Boss Zhan, don't hesitate. What if the murderer doesn't think it's enough to kill the people in the caravan and comes after you..." Madam Shu covered her mouth, "Look at my mouth, how could the murderer come after Boss Zhan?" Woolen cloth?"
"Sister Shu, I heard rumors that the murderer was transformed by a fierce ghost and came to seek revenge." Lady Hua looked at Boss Zhan with a smile, "Boss Zhan, how true do you think this is?"
Boss Zhan's face was ugly, and the hand holding the brush tightened, "The theory of ghosts and gods is completely untrue."
"Really, I think it's a bit interesting." Shang Wan put down the tea cup and continued, "It is said that the more tragic the death, the more powerful the ghost becomes. It can drag people down to the eighteenth level of hell, and they will never be reincarnated. Woolen cloth."
Boss Zhan always felt that there was something in his words, but looking at Shang Wan's expression, he felt that he was overthinking.
After much hesitation, he still signed and signed under the persuasion of the girls.
The money and goods are both settled.
Boss Zhan ordered someone to hand over all the deeds of sale, accounts, documents, etc. of all the caravan owners to Shang Wan and his party.
Shang Wan and Mrs. Shu took the contract and looked at it carefully, looking at each other with joy.
Shang Wan cleared his throat and shouted: "It's done, everyone come in."
Boss Zhan was about to ask Shang Wan who he was calling in when he suddenly saw a group of official officers turning out from behind the screen wall and striding over this way.
A bad premonition suddenly welled up in his heart, especially after he noticed that a woman in blue was following behind the official. The bad premonition continued to intensify and almost broke through his heart.
He asked almost subconsciously: "Who are you?"
The woman in blue raised her head, her burned cheeks exposed to the sun, "Childhood sweethearts, young couple, we haven't seen each other for five years, and you have forgotten me?"
"You, you are..." Seeing that face clearly, Boss Zhan was so horrified that he backed away repeatedly. His lips kept opening and closing, but he was so shocked that he couldn't utter a word.
"Why, you have even forgotten my name?" The woman in blue approached step by step, her malicious eyes seeming to eat the man in front of her alive, "Killing his wife and killing his son, he is a wolf-hearted man, Zhan Liang, have you slept peacefully these years?"
