Chapter 49

As always, the empty hotel, the old guy sitting behind the bar as usual, the receptionist with drooping eyesight and listless receptionist checked in.

It’s Lombard’s turn.

Meeks glanced up at the golden glasses on the bridge of the opponent’s nose, took out the innermost key from the drawer, handed it over and said, “The house on the third floor.”

Lombard took the key and was not suspicious. He greeted the other merchants and walked upstairs with Kabbah. There was a “creaking” sound from the old stairs. Lombard looked down at the stairs and walked slightly. Pause, then touch the handrail next to him with his right hand, and continue to walk upstairs.

There was some cold moisture in the aisle on the third floor, and the corridor was quiet, and the two walked inside silently.

313!

Near the end of the corridor, in the third room from the bottom, Lombard inserted the key, twisted and opened the door, and opened the door with a gray and musty smell. It was obvious that no one had lived and cleaned in the room for a long time.

The two walked in, closed the door, and Lombard’s face immediately sank. He quickly checked the room, and then suddenly turned his head to look at Kabbah.

“What’s the matter?” Kabbah looked at the opponent’s face and immediately realized that it was wrong.

“Something is not quite right.” Lombard leaned his ear to the wall and listened to the movement next door. He didn’t hear any sound. His face was a little dark, and then he lowered his voice and said: “The dust on the stairs is less than we came twice before. It’s a lot. This shows that there are people living upstairs in the last month, but the owner of the hostel lives on the first floor.”

“Could it be that he cleaned it?” Kaba frowned.



“Impossible. I touched the handrail. There is a layer of dust on it. If it is cleaning, it is impossible to turn a blind eye to the dust on the handrail.” Lombard said gloomily: “There must be someone living upstairs, but I don’t know the current people. It’s not there anymore, it’s just that I’m too worried, or…”

“Is it for us? The people in Tunas or the pirates have arranged in advance and plan to do it on us in the hostel?” Kabbah’s face changed. Now is the most dangerous critical moment, so they can’t help but think about it. .

“It shouldn’t be from the Thiago caravan. We didn’t reach them so quickly, so we were pirates. We escaped last time, but they were lucky to go ashore this time and plan to wait.” Lombard His face became more gloomy, and he blinked his eyes and said to Kabbah: “You go and wander around in the hallway to see which rooms are being occupied. If there are people, they can only be in another room.”

“Okay.” Kabbah opened the door, lit a cigarette and stood by the door smoking, while shaking his head and observing the people living in the corridor, the room door opened.

After a while, he squeezed out the cigarette and returned to the room.

“Next door, there are the two innermost rooms, no one goes in, and the two rooms at the top of the stairs.” Kabbah swallowed while looking at the wall next to him. “Maybe the house is empty, maybe, there is something hidden inside. people.”

Lombard took off his glasses and stared at the yellowish and anti-tide wall, his eyes seemed to go straight through to see the dynamics of the next door. After a long while, his index finger flicked the key ring, Yin **: “I just I felt someone peeping at me downstairs. It wasn’t my illusion. It was a real person. Moreover, it happened to give us the key to the next room. It was definitely not a coincidence, it was just for us.”

After speaking, Lombard stood up, moved the joints of his neck, his eyes turned to reveal a fierce and cunning light, “Whether it is a pirate or not, just ask someone to confirm it.”

With that, he patted his cheek, put on his glasses again, opened the door and walked downstairs.

There were some sailors smoking and chatting in the hall. Lombard walked over. Several sailors recognized who he was and stood up. He asked, “Which room is Mr. Lang Shi in?”

“The captain said he was about to throw up because of the turbulence in the sea. He just went out and may be back in a while. Oh, the room is 209…”

“Oh, it’s okay, then which room is Captain Skor in?” Lombard interrupted him and asked the other sailor.

“202.” The sailor replied.

Lombard turned and walked towards the second floor. As soon as he went up the stairs, he was almost facing Room 202. The door of the room was concealed. He knocked on the door and then pushed in.

In the room, the middle-aged man with a big pie-face and triangular eyes sat up from the bed and looked at Lombard who walked in, with a puzzled expression in his eyes.

“Sco, you are in the house.” Lombard closed the door casually and said lightly: “Lang Shi went out, I thought you went out with him.”

“Lang Shi went out? What did you do?” Sko asked smoothly.

“It’s nothing, maybe I’m tired of staying on the boat, and I want to walk on land. Each voyage takes ten and a half months. To be honest, it is really unbearable.” Lombard sighed with emotion, and then his face Suddenly he sank, walked to the side of Sco, and said in a deep voice: “The people in Tiago Caravan may have noticed it. We need to act in advance.”

“Is it noticed?” Sco was startled.

“Well, I found a suspicious problem in this hotel.” Lombard put his finger to his mouth and made a silent motion, killing intently: “It is not clear in a few words, but fortunately we still have a chance, so , You come to my room by yourself at night, don’t be discovered by anyone.”

“What do you mean?” Sco’s heart sank.

“To be honest, I suspect that there is Thiago’s inner ghost among us. I can be 100% sure that you and Mr. Lang Shi will not betray us, so…the less people know about some things, the better.” Lombard With a solemn expression on Lie’s expression, he repeatedly said: “Remember, come here alone at night, and don’t be discovered by anyone. We need to plan the next plan carefully.”

“Room 314, night.” Lombard confirmed to Sco.

“Okay.” Sco’s heart was a little heavy, and he nodded heavily at Lombard. He didn’t notice the vicious smile on the corners of his mouth when Lombard turned and left.

……………………………….

Lang Shi was wandering around the town. He surrounded him without seeing anyone following him, and then speeded up his pace and walked towards the center of the town.

In the hostel in the center of the town.

“go in.”

Lothar opened the door and said to the sneaky Lang Shi. Inside the door, Tunas was sitting on a recliner, holding a glass of red wine in his hand, shaking gently.

“Sit!” Tunas put the wine glass on the table.

The businessman’s unique flattery and flattery appeared on Lang Shi’s face. He didn’t take Tunas’s politeness seriously, but just stood there and began to report the dynamics and conditions of the small businessmen.

This is not a betrayal. It should be said that from the very beginning, Tunas has been an eye and eye of the small merchant group. He has always been a member of Thiago’s caravan.

“…Someone on Thiago’s ship was bought by Lombard. He knew that the destination of the colored stone mine was Alabastan, and those small merchants who were profiteering had been moved by him, and planned to unite against our Chamber of Commerce. “Lang Shi repeated Lombard’s words that bewildered the businessmen at the time.
