I rely on my body to push the weird world

Chapter 64 There is an inn
"Are there any guests?"

Li Ji frowned, looked around, and asked, "Do you know what this 'You Jian Ke' means?"

Judge Wen and others stepped forward and looked at the twisted bloody words on the bed in horror, equally solemn and puzzled.

"Master Sizhu, I think I know what he wrote."

Among the Black Stone Town detectives present, someone suddenly spoke in an urgent voice.

"Tell me."

Li Ji nodded.

"Youjianke! Look, there are unfinished strokes behind these three bloody characters. Youjianke, what he meant to write should be Youjian Inn!"

The Black Stone Town detective analyzed.

"Is there an inn?"

Li Ji frowned and spoke in confusion.

"Master Sizhu, you may not know that there is an inn on the official road about seven or eight miles away from Black Stone Town. It is called Youjian Inn. It only receives desperate wanderers and is rarely known to outsiders."

The Black Stone Town constable replied respectfully.

"So, this evil demon is hiding in an inn?"

Li Ji looked at the bloody words on the bed and talked about the demon in the eyes of ordinary people.

"This... I am just guessing. After all, the only thing in Black Rock Town that is related to the three words "Youjianke" is this Youjian Inn."

The Blackrock Town constable replied.

"Well, yes, you are quite thoughtful."

Li Ji exclaimed casually.

"Thank you for your compliment, Master. I am overwhelmed with joy."

The Black Stone Town constable slowly breathed a sigh of relief, looking both honored and humble.

Not only did Judge Wen and his men have a flash of envy in their eyes, but even the other detectives in Black Stone Town were extremely envious, and their back teeth were almost broken with jealousy.

"Keep searching."

Li Ji looked around.

Judge Wen and others continued their investigation, and even the enthusiasm of the detectives in Black Stone Town became even higher.

Two hours had passed unknowingly, and there was no more abnormality in the newly decorated bridal chamber.

No matter how hard they searched, they could not find any crucial information like the bloody words on the bed.

"Master, there are no other findings."

Judge Wen wiped the sweat from his forehead and said respectfully.

Li Ji nodded.

"Greetings, Master Si."

At this moment, Yan Batian and others hurriedly stepped into the threshold and spoke respectfully.

"how is the situation?"

Li Ji asked.

"That family didn't seem to be surprised at all. They didn't even know their daughter was marrying the mayor's only son. When we went there, the girl was still sleeping in her boudoir."

Yan Batian replied respectfully.

"Well, keep talking."

Li Ji nodded.

"After some questioning, I found out that the woman knew the mayor's only son, but they were just acquaintances and didn't have much interaction. To make sure I wasn't wrong, I even cut off one of her arms, but there was nothing unusual."

Yan Batian looked as if it was a matter of course.

He didn't care at all about the woman who was suddenly awakened or even had one of her arms cut off for no apparent reason.

The cruelty of this strange world is vividly displayed in these few words at this moment.

"It seems that this demon has the ability to transform into the appearance of other people."

Li Ji frowned.

Judge Wen and the others all looked gloomy. Li Ji immediately informed Yan Batian and the others who were going to investigate the woman's family of his discovery.

Yan Batian's eyes instantly became extremely solemn: "Indeed, in this Black Stone Town, only 'Youjian Inn' can be associated with these three bloody words!"

"Well, in that case, let's go to the inn and see what's going on!"

Li Ji ordered.

Yan Batian nodded in agreement.

Soon, a group of people left the yamen, rode on fast horses, and rushed to an inn seven or eight miles away from Heishi Town overnight.

The night was dark.

The wild grass is withered and the shadows of the trees are hazy.

After galloping for nearly half an hour, a small inn came into view.

The night wind swept across a dirty and messy banner embroidered with the four big characters "There is an Inn". The inn built with mud and bamboo strips was three stories high. It looked particularly creepy under the cold moonlight, and a feeling of desolation and dilapidation arose spontaneously.

"Shut up!"

Li Ji and his group reined in their horses in front of the inn and all dismounted.

Yan Batian hurried forward and knocked on the door of the inn.

Bang bang bang!
The dull sound echoed in the silent and desolate night.

After knocking for seven or eight minutes, Li Ji finally heard the sound of footsteps coming from the inn.

"Who is it? Why are you knocking on the door in the middle of the night?"

With the creaking sound of the door opening, a crack appeared between the two thin doors of the inn. The waiter looked out vigilantly, holding a dimly lit lantern.

He did not open the door of the inn completely, as there was a lock inside to prevent any emergencies.

Yan Batian immediately smiled and said, "Little Second Brother, we are Jianghu travelers. We originally wanted to go to Black Stone Town, but we didn't expect that it was already late at night when we arrived here, so we wanted to stay here at the inn for one night. I hope you will forgive us for disturbing you so late at night."

"Are you staying at the hotel?"

The waiter was about to start cursing, but when he saw the scabbard on Yan Batian's waist through the crack in the door, he said cautiously, "Sir, it's already very late at night, and our inn has long been closed."

"Little Brother, please help me. We have been traveling all day and are very tired."

Yan Batian said this and threw three taels of silver into the crack of the inn's door.

"Oh my, what are you doing?"

The waiter hurriedly picked up the silver and put it in his pocket, smiling and saying, "There are many rooms in the inn now, but I can't make the decision. I have to ask the shopkeeper."

He slammed the door of the inn shut, holding the lantern, and quickly went deeper into the inn.

Yan Batian turned around and gave everyone a look that indicated he was satisfied.

Whether it was the Black Stone Town detectives who followed or Judge Wen and others, they all had expressions of admiration.

Li Ji just watched silently without any reaction.

On one side they are the Demon Suppression Division that deals with demons and monsters, and on the other side they are constables representing the Black Stone Town government. Yet they have to be so servile to the waiter. Why should they just break the door violently? There is no need to go through so much trouble.

But Yan Batian obviously has his own way of dealing with it. Maybe this is what they call not alerting the enemy? !

Not long after, the sound of the waiter running was heard again, and he struggled to open the door lock from the inside.

"Guest officer..."

The waiter opened the door and was obviously startled to see so many people. He said, "Dear guests, the shopkeeper has given permission. Please follow me."

"Thank you, little brother."

Yan Batian smiled and walked into the inn first.

Li Ji and others followed closely behind and stepped into the inn. They saw that it was pitch black all around them, with only a few beams of moonlight shining through the rubble, illuminating the dim tables, chairs and benches.

"Dear guests, please be careful with your steps and don't trip over the tables, chairs or benches."

The waiter led the way, holding a lantern with dim candlelight.

Li Ji and others followed closely behind, walking up the rotten stairs towards the guest rooms on the second floor.

The creaking sound was incessant, echoing in the dark inn, and it seemed inexplicably creepy.
