Chapter 188: Disguised as a pig to eat the tiger. Villain eat villain
Chu Qing-Yan quickly walked up the stairs, then opened the door to the room.
Xiao Xu heard the sound and lifted up his head. He saw her panting for breath and raised a brow to say. "What happened?"
Chu Qing-Yan's three steps changed into two as she walked to him to say somewhat impatiently. "Big Block of Ice, I found that this inn is somewhat strange. Just now when I entered the back kitchen, I discovered that area has a rotten smell, really stings the nose."
Xiao Xu put down the book in his hand and waved for her to come and sit down. "No hurry, you say it slowly."
"En." Chu Qing-Yan sat down on the chair in front of him. "Their chopping board is very big, much bigger than the chopping board in our manor. The cutting tools are normal sized cutting tools. The ordinary cutting tools have already rusted, it is obvious that they haven't been used for a long time. But those huge cutting tools were incomparably sharp, clearly they are used frequently. But think about it, how could someone cooking use such huge cutting tools often?"
Xiao Xu nodded, hinting that she should continue.
Chu Qing-Yan recalled the scene from just now, picking the important points to tell. "I encountered that cook in the back kitchen. His hand was full of bloodstains that hasn't been wiped clean. Even his ap.r.o.n was covered in bloodstains. He said he went to slaughter a sheep, but these two days the rain has been too heavy. Where could they have bought the sheep from? Moreover, Fire Spirit brought people to inspect the inn and didn't discover any animals."
"Therefore, what are your suspicions?" Xiao Xu's tone was faint, so faint that no one could discover the patiently guiding tone in his voice.
Chu Qing-Yan hesitated, somewhat uncertain. But she lifted her head and directly looked at the person in front of her to slowly say. "I suspect this is a shady business, an illegal shop that does murder for money."
