Chapter 428 Another death
Li Lianhua looked up at the sky and said to Xu Wei, "Brother Xu, let's go have dinner first."
Xu Wei: "Okay, I'll treat you to a meal as a token of my gratitude for your help."
Li Lianhua and Su Ci didn't bother to be polite with him, and the four of them went to the most famous tavern in the area for dinner.
During the meal, Su Ci and his friends heard the diners discussing the murder case at Wanhua Inn.
Some speculated that it was a vendetta, some said it was a revenge killing for the Wanhua Inn, and some said it was a sneaky crime.
In short, the guesses are varied and my imagination is wide open.
Su Ci and the others were amazed by what they heard and felt it was even more exciting than listening to storytelling.
At night, the moon is bright in the sky.
After Su Ci coaxed Guoguo to sleep, he came to the open space outside the Lotus Tower and watched the moon with Li Lianhua.
Seeing that Li Lianhua looked thoughtful, Su Ci asked, "Huahua, what are you thinking about?"
Li Lianhua came back to her senses, "I was thinking about the golden hairpin with the Taotie's head in its mouth."
Su Ci tilted his head, motioning for him to continue.
Li Lianhua: "That golden hairpin, if I remember correctly, must have a great origin. Rumor has it that there is a country called Daxi in the southern wilderness.
It is said that thirty years ago, the Kingdom of Greece and our dynasty had a marriage alliance, and when our princess married, she brought this golden hairpin as part of her dowry.
Later, this golden hairpin became one of the burial objects in the Greek royal tomb. "
Su Ci frowned upon hearing this and asked in confusion: "If it is a burial object, how could it appear here? Could it be that some tomb robber was so bold as to dig up someone's grave?
Could it be that the dead one was the tomb robber? He was just like the white-handed scholar back then. The emperor of the Greek country knew what he had done, so he sent people to hunt him down and he died in our inn. "
Su Ci's mind suddenly opened up.
Li Lianhua tapped the table with her fingertips, her expression a little solemn, "I don't know. If this is the case, it may not be that complicated. I am afraid that this person knows how to get to Jiuqiong Fairyland, and then cause unnecessary trouble."
Rumor has it that the Greek Kingdom is rich in mineral veins and produces a lot of gold and jewelry, and the tombs of their kings from generation to generation are built in a mysterious place.
It is said that the place is full of rare medicinal herbs, and you can get whatever you want, which can be called the Penglai Fairyland.
The imperial mausoleum was built on a high mountain. It was magnificently built, with countless treasures buried with it, and was called the Nine Qiong Wonderland.
But legends are just legends, and until now no one has ever seen the royal tombs of the Greek Empire.
But now, one of the burial objects, the golden hairpin with a Taotie head in its mouth, appeared in a place where it shouldn't be, which means that someone found the Jiuqiong Fairyland and got something from it.
Su Ci spread his hands: "This is beyond our control. You don't have to worry, there are tall people to hold up the sky if it falls. If someone is really blind and provokes us, we will just fight back."
Li Lianhua laughed, "Yes, yes, Madam is right. It's getting late, let's go back and rest."
……
The next day, Xu Wei found out the origin of the golden hairpin and came to find Li Lianhua and Su Ci.
Just as Li Lianhua guessed, this golden hairpin was one of the burial objects of the Greek Kingdom.
Xu Wei also told them the rumors about the golden hairpin. Su Ci and Guo Guo had never heard of it, but they listened with great interest.
Xu Wei sighed, "I don't know who died and who the murderer was. I thought I could find out the identity of the deceased through the golden hairpin, but I didn't expect it to involve the matter of another country's royal mausoleum."
Li Lianhua: "He is not the first to die from this, nor will he be the last."
Su Ci nodded: "In this world, no one can refuse a treasure that is within easy reach."
Xu Wei: "Let's go to the inn again, maybe we can find some useful information."
……
As soon as the group arrived at the inn, they saw Hu Youhuai running out in a panic. When he saw Su Ci and the others, he acted as if he had seen a ghost.
Hu Youhuai said intermittently: "Valley Master, something…something happened. Another dead body was found in the well outside."
Su Ci was shocked: "What? Take us there quickly."
