(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 apron 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."

She had just finished speaking when she saw the specks of smiling expression that appeared in Big Block of Ice's eyes. Like the gleaming reflections of sunlight that broke everything into pieces, it formed a rippling sea in his eyes, beautiful beyond imagination. She became foolish from staring at him, this was the first time she saw a smile on Big Block of Ice's face.

Xiao Xu lightly caressed her head, his tone had a trace of being gratified. "Your analysis is not bad, you have improved a step."

Although she was very happy to get Big Block of Ice's praise, now didn't seem to be the right time to be discussing this. Only that listening to Big Block of Ice's tone, Chu Qing-Yan's mind suddenly gave birth to a thought. "Big Block of Ice, did you know about this since the beginning?"

Xiao Xu retracted his hand and looked at her with a gentle gaze. "Hand everything over to this king, you don't need to worry."

Once he said these words, she knew Big Block of Ice had his own plan, as a result she felt reassured and nodded her head.

Hey, feels like Big Block of Ice gives people more and more sense of security, okay?

Chu Qing-Yan laid on the table and carefully seized him up. Although Big Block of Ice was wearing a mask, she could still look at him a hundred times and not get tired of it. Don't know what exactly she was looking at on him!

Xiao Xu picked up the book he hadn't finished reading, and let the little fellow look at him. He was already used to some of the little fellow's baffling actions.

While Chu Qing-Yan was upstairs, the cook with knife scars and others had already started to move.

The candle in the fat guy's hand was given to him by the black clothed guy. Inside burned a high grade medicine that could make people lose consciousness, "Fantasy Incense". He slowly walked into the lobby.
