Chapter 97: Bai Zhantang's Identity Revealed
Although Lao Bai woke up, Xiao Liu really didn't know whether to cry or laugh at this time. Did Lao Bai explode?
"Zhantang, you finally woke up. Did you have a nightmare just now?" Seeing that Lao Bai woke up, the shopkeeper was concerned about it immediately.
Lao Bai had just woken up from the nightmare, and his heart was still a little scared. He had not yet fully recovered. When he heard the shopkeeper's words, he forced himself to laugh and said:
"I'm fine, I just had a nightmare."
Seeing Lao Bai like this, everyone knew that Lao Bai had a nightmare just now, but fortunately it was just a dream and everyone had done it.
"Zhantang, Xiao Liu has something to come to you." The shopkeeper signaled to Lao Bai.
But Xiao Liu was just about to speak, but Murong Yan pulled him and interrupted: "Shopkeeper, can you help me prepare a room for the room?"
"Yes, who is this?" She responded without thinking when she heard that the shopkeeper of the business came. However, looking at Murong Yan and Xiaoliu's intimate actions, she couldn't help but ask curiously.
"I am his cousin." Xiao Liu was about to introduce himself, but Murong Yan, who was still holding his arm, said first.
"Yeah!" When Murong Yan said that, not only everyone in the inn, but even Xiao Liu was shocked.
Xiao Liu looked back at Murong Yan in disbelief, but Murong Yan blinked at him repeatedly.
Although Xiao Liu didn't know what Murong Yan wanted to sell in the gourd, he thought about it and nodded to everyone:
"Yes, she is my distant cousin."
Seeing Xiaoliu nodding, everyone in the inn did not suspect that he was there, but Xiao Guo felt something was wrong.
At this time, Lao Bai had just woken up from the nightmare. When he saw Xiao Liu's clothes, he was a little scared. There was still some kung fu to think about other things. He now wanted to stay away from Xiao Liu.
"Xiao Guo, help Xiao Liu's cousin prepare a room for the room." The shopkeeper also saw that Lao Bai's condition was still a little wrong, so he handed over the preparation of the room for the guests to Xiao Guo.
When Xiao Guo heard this, he looked at Murong Yan and Xiao Liu carefully. Xiao Liu and Murong Yan had excellent psychological qualities, and the two looked at each other.
Xiao Guo looked at it and found no flaws. In the end, he was able to shake the rag in his hand with a little depressed voice and said, "Come with me."
As he said that, Xiao Guo took the lead in walking upstairs.
Xiao Liu was about to sit down and warn Lao Bai and others, but he was directly pulled up by Murong Yan.
"Cousin, we haven't seen each other for a long time. I have a lot to talk to you, cousin." Murong Yan pulled Xiaoliu upstairs without saying anything.
Seeing Xiaoliu and Murong Yan go upstairs, the shopkeeper felt a little strange, and she murmured to Lao Bai:
"What's going on? Didn't Old Xing say that he is the only one left in Xiaoliu's family? Why did another cousin appear?"
"Everyone said it was a distant person, so it was normal for Lao Xing to not know about it." Lao Bai continued indifferently.
The shopkeeper nodded when he heard this.
On the second floor, Xiao Guo brought Murong Yan and Xiao Liu to the guest room.
After seeing the guest room, Murong Yan quickly politely invited Xiao Guo out.
Xiao Guo looked suspiciously at Xiao Liu who was drinking tea calmly in the room, and walked out with confusion.
Seeing Xiao Guo bringing the door up, only he and Murong Yan were left in the room. Xiao Liu, who was very puzzled, asked, "Murrong..."
However, Xiao Liu's words were stopped by Murong Yan's booing as soon as he opened his mouth. Murong Yan quietly came to the door and opened the door.
Sure enough, Xiao Guo was still outside and looked at her tilted look as if she was planning to eavesdrop.
Seeing that Xiao Guo was discovered, she quickly smiled awkwardly, and then she quickly explained even more awkwardly:
"Haha, I just want to come back and ask if I need to prepare bath water for you?"
"Ahem!" Xiao Liu, who was drinking tea, was almost choked by Xiao Guo's words.
"I think it's not necessary." Xiao Guo also smiled awkwardly and quickly slipped away in a mess.
Murong Yan tried several more times, and finally confirmed that no one eavesdropped, she felt relieved and sat at Xiaoliu's table opposite.
"Tell me, Miss Murong, what is your purpose?" Xiao Liu didn't beat around the bush, put down the teacup in his hand, and asked straight to the point.
When Murong Yan heard this, she took out a secret order from her package and handed it to Xiaoliu.
After Xiao Liu saw this secret order, his eyes looked at Murong Yan with some surprise.
"Are you from the Six Doors?"
"I'm wrong. It's just a trial now. You must pass the assessment before it will be formal." Murong Yan explained.
Xiao Liu nodded after hearing this and said, "So you are both a special contributor of Jianghu Monthly News and a trial detective of Liushemen."
"That's right!" Murong Yan nodded.
"So what is your purpose of pretending to be my cousin?" Although Xiao Liu knew it, he still had to ask.
When Murong Yan saw Xiaoliu asking the key point, she waved to Xiaoliu and signaled him to come over.
Xiao Liu leaned over and Murong Yan whispered to him:
"This time my mission is to capture the legendary thief Baiyu Tang. Only by capturing him can I officially enter the six doors. Now I suspect that he is hiding in this inn."
"So you plan to use my cousin's identity to investigate secretly?" Xiao Liu asked.
"That's right!" Murong Yan replied.
Xiao Liu couldn't help but smile and asked in confusion:
"Then why do you tell me about such a confidential matter? Are you not afraid that I am from this inn?"
"No, because I know you've been here for less than two months." Murong Yan said with great confidence.
"Well, you have investigated me." Xiao Liu asked in confusion.
"You are very famous in Qixia Town. When you were trying the case, I heard the two yamen runners at the door." Murong Yan said with a smile.
Xiao Liu shook his head helplessly when he heard this. As expected, this is not good to be so popular. Neither has to investigate you. You can know just by listening to other people’s discussions on the street.
"How is it? You have good skills. As long as you and I work together, you will definitely be able to grasp this Baiyu Soup. At that time, I will pass the assessment and officially enter the Six Doors, and you can also use this credit to go directly to the Six Doors." Murong Yan was tempted.
Xiao Liu pondered for a moment and said, "It's quite tempting, but do you confirm that the thief is in the inn?"
"I'm sure I'm not separated?" Murong Yan said with close certainty.
Then she told Xiaoliu about her analysis, and listened to Murong Yan's analysis, Xiaoliu nodded repeatedly.
But the more I heard it, the more curious Xiaoliu felt, and he asked in confusion:
Chapter completed!
