Wilderness Redemption Tour

Chapter 26: Murder in the Tavern

Blown by the cold wind outside, Lin Yan was a little more sober at this moment. Seeing the panicked look of the woman upstairs, he quickly spoke to comfort her: "Don't worry, ma'am, I'll come up right away."

"Oh, thank God, you are such a good man." When the woman saw Lin Yan agreed to go upstairs, she touched her chest and said gratefully.

After walking up the wooden staircase extending from the outside of the tavern to the second floor, the woman came to Lin Yan, took his hand and begged: "Sir, I'm in trouble, you must help me."

Lin Yan coughed lightly and calmly pulled his hand out of the other person's hand. "Ma'am, don't be anxious. Can you tell me what's going on first?"

The woman stammered, "I think you can see that I do that kind of work. I received a guest tonight. Oh, I was so blind that I didn't realize that he was a complete villain. No, villain is not enough to describe him, he is a devil. Just now in the room inside, I just helped him get into the mood, but I didn't expect him to pounce on me, put his hands around my throat and wanted to strangle me to death. If I hadn't heard about similar situations from other people and prepared a dagger under my pillow in advance, I swear I would be the one to die tonight."

Oh my goodness, the prostitute actually killed someone. Lin Yan didn't expect this kind of plot. He was surprised at first, and then analyzed: "Then why did you look for me? Logically speaking, shouldn't you find the police first when encountering such a thing?"

The woman was stunned for a moment, then explained: "Sir, the problem is that I can't provide any evidence to prove that my life is threatened. The police may not believe my words. Besides, based on my understanding of them, they can do anything for their reputation. People will not believe someone like me at that time."

What she said seemed to make some sense, but helping her was also risky. If someone saw me, I would become a murderer.

The woman seemed to see Lin Yan's hesitation, and she pleaded in a low voice: "Please, sir! I will give you money. I will give you all the money I earn tonight!"

Hearing what the other party said, Lin Yan felt that what she said should not be false. He nodded and said, "Okay, how can I help you?"

Seeing Lin Yan nod in agreement, the woman happily took his hand and said, "Come with me first."

Lin Yan was pulled by the woman into the pub through the back door on the second floor, and then she pushed open the door of the room closest to the back door and walked in.

The layout of this room was exactly the same as the room where Lin Yan stayed that day. After entering the room, Lin Yan saw a thin man in only underwear lying on the bed with a dagger stuck in his chest. The blood from the wound had dyed a large area of ​​the bed sheet under him red.

"Can you help me get rid of his body? I have to clean this room quickly. There is a pigsty not far from the hotel. You can sneak out from the back door and walk forward for a while. When you can almost see the church in the town, I believe you will smell it. Just throw him into the pigsty, and it won't be long before the pigs eat him." The woman said as she pulled out the dagger from the man's body.

The woman told Lin Yan all the routes and methods of disposal. Although she was a little anxious, she was very organized. Lin Yan suddenly felt that the woman in front of him seemed to be very familiar with all this. But he thought that since she had agreed to him this time, he would help her this time.

It was the first time for Lin Yan to touch a dead person. He suppressed the discomfort in his heart and, together with the woman, wrapped the man's body with the bed sheets. In order to prevent the blood on the bed sheets from getting on himself, he held the body in his arms like a princess.

Fortunately, the man was relatively thin, and Lin Yan had added some attributes to his strength before, so he didn't feel very tired holding the man's body. After the woman helped him open the two doors, she told him: "Don't throw the sheets there, bring them back to me, I will deal with them."

After Lin Yan went down to the first floor carrying the bed sheet wrapped in the man's body, he saw that there was no one around, so he trotted into the shadows where the lights could not reach.

He first followed the woman's instructions and went forward. Before Lin Yan saw the cross on top of the church, he smelled a strong smell mixed with the fishy smell of feces.

This should be the smell of the pigsty that the woman mentioned. Lin Yan followed the smell and walked to a place surrounded by wooden fences in the dim moonlight. The animals inside heard someone approaching and made a few noises. Lin Yan recognized that it was the sound of pigs, so he grabbed the bed sheet and threw the body wrapped in it into the pigsty.

Lin Yan panted and folded the bed sheet. He wiped the wet and sticky area that his right hand had just touched on the dry area of ​​the bed sheet, and then took the bed sheet back to the room.

The woman was kneeling on the bed cleaning the blood that had seeped into the mattress. When she heard someone push the door open, she looked up in a hurry. When she saw it was Lin Yan, she breathed a sigh of relief and asked softly, "Did you throw it away? Please tell me you threw it away successfully."

"Don't worry, I threw it away as you said, and no one saw it." Lin Yan used the light in the room to check his clothes and his hands. After finding no bloodstains, he threw the bed sheet in his hand to the ground.

"Oh, thank you, kind sir. This is for you. This is all I earned today. Please take the money and leave." The woman took out a few bills and handed them to Lin Yan. Then she continued to wipe the stains on the bed with her head down, and kept saying thank you.

Without counting how much money he got, Lin Yan walked out of the room amid the woman's thanks. As he walked downstairs, Lin Yan pondered: I don't know whether it is right or wrong to help her, but since I met her, it is reasonable to help her according to my luck. The reward in my pocket is proof of this. Even if there is no reward, I still feasted my eyes just now. Tsk tsk, she looks good and has a good figure, but it's a pity to do that.

Walking down the stairs, Lin Yan noticed that a group of people were making a fuss about something downstairs, and there were cheers coming from inside from time to time. When he went downstairs just now, he was thinking about something and didn't pay attention, so he climbed up the stairs again to see what everyone was watching.

Back upstairs, Lin Yan saw Arthur and Lenny standing in the middle of the crowd, slapping each other in the face. Every time they slapped each other, the crowd cheered. Sadie also stood beside the two of them, talking to Arthur and Lenny, with an expression on her face that was even more excited than the crowd watching.

Lin Yan held his forehead and sighed. It seemed that these three people were completely drunk. It would be better to find a place for them to rest quickly.

Back downstairs, Lin Yan pulled out the bartender who was also watching from the crowd and asked loudly, "There are no rooms yet. I need four rooms to stay overnight!"

The bartender shook his head and said just as loudly, "There are only three rooms now."

"Three is fine, just give me the key!"

The bartender took out three keys from the bar. "3 dollars a night. One downstairs, 102! Two upstairs, 201 and 202!"

Lin Yan took out $10 from one of his pockets and handed it to the bartender. "No need for change!" Then he took three keys, got into the crowd, and stopped Arthur and Lenny from fighting.

"Hey, Jamie, where have you been? What... took you so long to come back? Lenny and I... can't wait, so we've already started... to have some fun on our own."

"No... that's right. We are competing to see who can slap the other's head off with one slap. Sadie is me... our referee."

"You wanna join in, Jamie?"

When the three saw Lin Yan appear, they began to introduce the "game" they had just invented.

Lin Yan wiped the sweat from his forehead, thinking that the three of you are not easy to deal with after being drunk. While dealing with it, he and Sadie, who seemed to be a little more sober and could still stand, took Arthur and Lenny to room 102.

After the four of them stumbled into the room, Arthur and Lenny knelt beside the bed in almost the same action and lay their upper bodies on the bed.

"Where's the wine? Why is there no wine? Bartender! Bring me some beer!" Arthur continued drinking while lying on the bed.

Lenny stood up as if he was dead and said, "I'll go get some wine." Then he fell on his back on the bed and fell into a deep sleep.

Seeing Lenny fall asleep on the bed, Lin Yan struggled to straighten his body, took off his boots, and then pulled over Sadie, who was walking unsteadily and looking a little confused. "Mrs. Adler, can you help me take Arthur upstairs?"

Sadie looked at him with her unfocused, blurry eyes, and it took her a while to react. "Upstairs? Did you book several rooms?"

"We can't sleep together with so many people... Come, help me." Lin Yan put one of Arthur's arms around his neck and lifted him up. After hearing what he said, Sadie stumbled over and lifted up Arthur's other arm. Together, they took Arthur to room 201 upstairs. During this process, Arthur kept mumbling something that Lin Yan couldn't understand.

After throwing Arthur onto the bed in the room and taking off his boots, Lin Yan took Sadie and took her to the next room, Room 202, without stopping.

After Lin Yan helped Sadie sit on the bed, he stood up and said, "Mrs. Adler, just sleep here. I see you are still awake, so I won't help you take off your boots."

Sadie waved at him and said vaguely, "They are all drunk. I... am not drunk yet. Jamie, bring some more wine and drink with me... for a while."

"Mrs. Adler, you've had too much to drink. Go to bed early. We still have things to do tomorrow morning."

"If you don't drink with me, then I'll go down and drink by myself."

Seeing her say that, Lin Yan could only compromise and said, "Okay, okay, I'll drink one more bottle with you, but only one bottle, okay?"

"You talk too much nonsense, go get some wine!"

"Then stay here and don't move. I'll go get the wine."

Lin Yan ran downstairs again, got two bottles of beer from the bartender and returned to room 202 again.

When he entered the room again, Sadie had fallen asleep on the bed. Looking at the coat, belt and boots thrown casually on the floor, Lin Yan shook his head, put them in order, turned off the lights and left.

After returning the wine to the bartender, Lin Yan was about to explain something to him when he heard the bartender say, "Didn't you ask for four rooms just now? Now room 206 is vacant. Do you want to stay there?"

206...Isn't this the room where the murder happened? If I didn't know, I would have stayed there, but I was the one who handled the body, so it would be strange for me to stay there.

Thinking of this, Lin Yan waved his hand and said, "No, I have already booked a room across the street." When leaving, Lin Yan grabbed a handful of change from one of his pockets and put it on the bar, and told the bartender that if the guests from 102, 201 or 202 wanted to see him, he should ask them to go to the St. Thomas Hotel across the street. The bartender grabbed the money on the bar, smiled and nodded, saying that he would tell them the first time he saw them.

Walking out of the pub, Lin Yan was still thinking about how he had just told the bartender that he had booked a room across the street. It would be embarrassing if there were no vacancies across the street. When he entered the lobby of the St. Ci Hotel and heard the boss say that there were still vacancies, Lin Yan quietly breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, he didn't have to live without a place to live just to save face.

The room that the hotel owner opened for Lin Yan happened to be the room where Karen was rescued that day. The door locks and door frames in the room had been repaired, and it was completely impossible to tell what had happened before. He took off his windbreaker, hung his clothes and hat on the coat rack at the door, and then took off the clothes that he had worn for several days and put them on the chair. Feeling relaxed, Lin Yan turned off the lights, sat on the bed and took off his heavy boots, then lay on the bed with a soft mattress, pulled the wool blanket at his feet to cover his body, and sighed: This is real life! Not long after that, snoring sounded in the room.

When Lin Yan heard that he had won the special lottery again, he instantly became clear-headed. Special lottery draws are all good things. I don't know what I can get this time, and whether my lucky skills will affect the lottery results. But who is this Leonard? Lin Yan thought about it and felt that it should be Lenny. Everyone called him by his nickname before, and Leonard is his real name.

Coming to the familiar turntables again, Lin Yan did not rush to turn them this time, but admired them one by one. Each prize area on the turntable was hazy when he looked closely. Lin Yan had not noticed this detail before, thinking that he could see which prizes were included. Today he wanted to study it specially, but the system was more advanced than he thought, completely blocking the players from cheating by observing the prize area to control the power.

After finding no loopholes to exploit, Lin Yan directly turned the turntable that flashed with colorful light. As the turntable slowly stopped, the writing in the corresponding prize area gradually became clear.

Congratulations to the player for obtaining the item: Space Bag.

After the system sounded, Lin Yan saw a satchel gradually emerging in the space in front of the special turntable. The appearance of this satchel was very similar to Arthur's, except that this one was black, and it was the kind of deep black that made you feel your soul would be sucked in if you stared at it for a long time. Lin Yan took the satchel and studied it for a while, and found that when he put his hand into the bag, his mind would synchronously enter the system interface of the backpack. He deliberately checked the capacity of the backpack and found that there was a note at the bottom of the backpack interface: The capacity of the space bag is unlimited, and all items smaller than the entrance area can be accommodated (living things cannot be put in).
