216、The horror of nursery rhymes
Mary Shaw's hotel is located near the Tulip neighborhood.
Because the entire community is very remote, the hotel business is not easy to do.
When Du Wei was taken to the hotel by police Allen, he almost thought he had arrived at the black store.
Outside the hotel is a dark green sign, and neon lights flash from time to time, giving people a strange feeling.
Of course, it's just a feeling.
Once you enter the hotel.
Then an old woman with gray hair and a very old-fashioned floral coat sat behind the counter and wiped a coffee cup.
She looked very old, her face was full of wrinkles, and her only distinctive hooked nose was already a little drooping, looking a little gloomy, but her whole temperament was very kind.
Seeing Du Wei and Police Allen come in, the old woman lifted the reading glasses on her nose and said in a slow tone: "Isn't Police Allen? Why are you free to come to me? And is next to you?"
Police Allen smiled reluctantly and said, "This is Dr. Du Wei who is traveling to Yade City. I will bring him to your place for two days."
This old woman is Mary Shaw.
When Allen thought of what Du Wei said before, those evil spirit events were related to Mary Shaw's horror legend, he felt a little furious.
Although, he didn't know what the so-called horror legend was.
Mary nodded at Allen, then looked at Du Wei, who was cold and indifferent, and said in an exaggerated tone: "It's really surprising. My hotel has been open for decades and has never received an Oriental."
As she said that, she smiled at Du Wei with kindness and said, "Hello, Doctor Du Wei, huh? You are a doctor, um, not bad."
The words are a bit nagging, but they are very suitable for the elderly of this age.
Du Wei glanced at Mary Xiao, and did not feel any abnormality from the other person in his spiritual vision state.
This is a living person.
Not an evil spirit.
So he smiled kindly at Mary Shaw: "Hello, Madam Mary, I'm going to stay here for about two days, I'm in trouble."
But he didn't feel any fluctuation in his heart, but instead became more alert to Mary Shaw.
There is something wrong with the evil spirit incident in Yade City.
Everything is as if it is not done by evil spirits, but by humans.
But Du Wei always remembers that the news given by the church was that this evil spirit incident originated from the horror legend of Mary Shaw.
Of course, Alan did not provide him with useful information about this legend.
In other words, not many people know this horror legend...
And this... is very unreasonable.
Police Allen looked at Du Wei, then looked at Mrs. Mary Shaw, hesitated for a moment and said, "Let's arrange for my friend to stay in first. I have to go back to work, you guys will talk first."
For a policeman like him who is performing official duties, it does not exist after get off work. Unless the matter is resolved, he will have to be at work 24 hours a day, otherwise it will be dereliction of duty.
Hearing this, Du Wei nodded to Allen, expressing his understanding.
Mrs. Mary Shaw smiled kindly and watched him turn and leave.
That look was filled with a kindness and peace from the heart.
Du Wei keenly captured this point and asked thoughtfully: "Have you known Police Allen for a long time?"
Mrs. Mary Shaw smiled and said, "Allan, I watched him grow up. He is a very hardworking child, but he is a little naughty?"
"naughty?"
Du Wei was a little puzzled. No matter how you look at it, police officer Alan is a very calm person, and has nothing to do with the word naughty.
Mrs. Mary Shaw smiled and said, "Yes, he is indeed naughty, and he had a conflict with his family when he was at the police academy. If I hadn't reconciled it, he would probably have a very bad relationship with his family now."
Du Wei remembered this, thought for a while, and then began to control the topic.
So he deliberately changed the subject: "Officer Allen and I have known each other for a while. This time we came to Yade City for a trip. I wonder if you can recommend any unique scenery here? Or some legends that are more interesting?"
Mrs. Mary Shaw frowned, making the folds on her face piled together, and she looked a little angry: "This Allen is really, he hasn't told you that Yad City is not suitable for travel at all?"
Du Wei showed a surprised expression at the right time, and then cursed: "Fuck, this bastard is really unreliable. I thought there was something special here. It seems that I will be disappointed this time."
Mrs. Mary Shaw said helplessly: "He has this personality, but you don't have to be too discouraged. Even if you want to travel, this kind of weather is not suitable."
Du Wei sighed and said, "It's true, but I only have a holiday recently. I'm so busy recently."
After saying that, he looked into Mrs. Mary Shaw's eyes and asked slowly, "By the way, I heard that many people have died in Yad City recently, is that true?"
Mrs. Mary Shaw's face darkened and said, "Many people have died, about a dozen people, but I don't know the specific situation. After all, I'm old and don't have the energy to inquire about these things like those young people."
Du Wei immediately took the conversation: "What a coincidence, I am very interested in these things, and I just heard police officer Alan talk about you. He said that in Yad City, there is a horror legend named Mary Shaw with the same name as you."
Don't know why.
He always felt something was wrong with Mary Shaw, but this feeling came without any logic, just like the sixth sense.
But when Mrs. Mary Shaw heard this, her face suddenly changed, and her originally kind face stopped.
She poked her head out of the counter, approached Du Wei's face, and asked in a strange tone: "Has Alan really said that to you?"
Of course not...
Du Wei was just panicking casually.
He looked as usual and even smiled: "I have a good relationship with policeman Alan, so he doesn't need to lie to me."
Before entering the hotel, he had already greeted Allen, organized a set of rhetoric, and reminded him not to approach him in the past two days.
In a sense, during his time in Yad City, he could freely pull police officers to talk about things. As long as the evil spirit incident can be solved, nothing is a problem.
At this time.
Mrs. Mary Shaw looked at Du Wei and said in a complicated tone: "Actually, I'm very surprised about the horror legend. Many years ago, when Yade City was still a village, a woman named Mary Shaw suddenly came here."
"She looks very good. She is said to have been a famous ventriloquist. She also makes all kinds of interesting toys and candies. The children like her very much, including me."
"But one day, someone found out that one child in the town suddenly lost one."
"Later, another child disappeared."
"Everyone was panicked and organized people to search for it in the town, but nothing was discovered. There were fewer and fewer children, and things became more and more troublesome."
"Suddenly one day, someone discovered that the missing children had contact with Mary Shaw, so he went to her house, and then the angering truth appeared."
"It turns out that those children were abducted by Mary Shaw to other cities, and she was a human trafficker."
"The parents were very angry, so they beat her to death, and most of the missing children were recovered."
