Odious event.
Author
As Hehua and Baihe are discussing down in the ground floor, a scream is resounding from above. Some customers are alerted by an odious scene.
Author
Right in the next second, the two foxes ran up there to see what happened and to try to calm the alerted spirits.
Yi Baihe
What's going on? (asked Baihe the crowd gathered, making herself way through the centre)
There's a cadaver here, Miss! (said one of the people from the crowd)
Someone was killed last night in your inn, Madam! (said another one)
Author
When she reached the cadaver, she constants that is one of the customers that came at the inn two days ago.
Yi Hehua
We'll try to find out what's going on, so don't panic everyone! (Hehua finally reached the crowd too)
Author
The two foxes looked one at each other exchanging silent questions.
Author
Suddenly a slim girl is approaching the scene.
Mei-er
It looks soulless, just like my parents! They're bodies were also like this one.
Yi Baihe
Do you have any clue about what happened here, Miss Mei-er?
Mei-er
No. I just know that I have seen this kind of scene before. My parents died in the same manner and I believe that is the work of a demonic force.
How can you be that sure? (whisped someone from the crowd)
Mei-er
Because the body looks as if someone would have extracted its soul by force. There must be a demonic force lurking in the dark.
What? Demons?! Here? (started many voices to quarrel)
This place must be hunted by ghosts or may be the attraction of some kind of demons.
Yi Hehua
Calm down everyone! Nothing is going to happen to you with us around!
How do we know that? What can two girls do against demons?
Yi Hehua
Mister, we're not as weak as you think! We're actually....
Yi Baihe
Shut up, Hehua! You can't say that loudly.
See, see! (resounded a voice from the crowd)
They must know something but don't want to tell us!
They must work with the demons!
Yi Baihe
Everyone, please listen to us and calm down! I promise you that you'll be safe here.
Don't listen to her, people!
This beauty of hers isn't something usual! (yelled a woman from the crowd) They definitely work with the devil!
Yi Hehua
It's not like that....
Let's go everyone! I won't stay even a minute more in a place like this! (yelled someone and went straight to the exit of the inn followed by many others)
Author
At a short time the inn became empty like a haunted house and the rumours spread fastly in the city.
Yi Hehua
Do you see what you have done with your stupid mouth! Miss, get out of our place!
Mei-er
I...I...
It wasn't my intention to spread rumours, I just said the truth.
Yi Hehua
Truth or not truth, you have ruined our business! You have any idea how much we worked so we can start this business? No, I bet you don't!
Mei-er
I am sorry. I'll try to clear your name later. I promise!
Yi Hehua
How? How will you do that?
Author
Mei-er kneeled in front of Baihe and Hehua and begged for forgiveness.
Author
Hehua felt sorry for her and helped her to get up.
Author
Mei-er told them her story and where she was heading because she needed to find out the truth about her family's death.
Author
Also this new even was a new clue for her.
Author
She promised to Hehua and Baihe to restore the inn's good reputation too.
Author
Seeing her good intentions, Baihe decided to participate in the investigation together with her sister.
Author
The cadaver is sent to the authorities and the inn closed until new orders.
Author
Not having a business to run anymore, the two foxes left with Mei-er to find the culprit.
