The love hotel case instantly became a topic that all the students in the university town talked about after dinner.
The scream in the middle of the night scared everyone in the hotel awake, and the ensuing siren made people know that something serious must have happened, so they all boldly ran out to inquire about the situation.
Needless to say, Huang He was very depressed.
The hotel owner was afraid that this incident would seriously affect his business. How could this unfortunate thing happen to him made him frightened and puzzled.
He was sleeping soundly at that time, and he heard something strange in his trance, but he didn't pay attention to it. It was only when the scream passed through the thick wooden door of the basement and reached his room in the attic that he suddenly woke up.
I realized something was wrong.
He put on his clothes indiscriminately and ran out barefoot. After confirming that the screams came from the basement, he comforted the tenants who had been awakened and went to the place where the noise came from with a few bold male tenants.
"That girl must be having a nightmare, she looks timid."
He told the male tenants that he was actually trying to convince himself of his speculations, because the further down he went, the more uneasy he became.
But as the owner here, he had to bite the bullet and go see what was going on. "I guess her boyfriend is holding her to comfort her. Maybe we can see a sexy scene!"
"Yeah, maybe they won't even open the door!" Only one tenant answered him, but his voice was a little trembling, and he obviously didn't believe it.
Huang He didn't know what to say, so he hummed twice in reply, passed through the living room on the first floor, and turned into the passage leading to the basement.
As soon as he entered the passage, a strong smell of blood hit his nostrils.
Later, Huang He thought about what happened that night and thought that if he could think about it, he might not go in and be so scared.
But almost subconsciously at that time, he walked in hesitantly, half curious and half scared, and the few people followed him in the same state.
He was holding an extra-large flashlight that could shine twenty meters ahead, so as soon as he entered the passage, he saw a person lying on the ground with his head facing inward.
The light of the flashlight moved inward inch by inch, allowing Huang He to slowly see the outline of the person lying on the ground.
It was a man, and he could tell from his clothing that he was the boy who lived in the basement. However, he had no way of confirming it because the man had no head.
At that time, he screamed in embarrassment, and his voice was more frightening than the female voice that screamed just now.
Always timid, he was so frightened that he peed his pants on the spot and couldn't even run away. He was rescued by a calm tenant.
After calling the police, he still had lingering fears. When the police inspected the scene and asked him questions, he couldn't even answer normally.
But he knew that the door was locked inside and the police had to break in.
On the bed in the room, the girl was lying naked on the bed, with bruises all over her body.
It is said that it is a handprint, but I cannot be sure because it is shorter than a normal person's handprint and has an extremely irregular shape, like the claws of an animal or the hand of a child with a hand disability.
Beside the girl, the quilt was huddled up.
The police guessed that the head of the headless man outside was underneath, so they carefully lifted the quilt.
The situation was consistent with their guess, but what was weird was that there was a wooden stick stuck under his neck, like a fish that had only its head and spine left.
The wooden stick was later confirmed to be the mop stick that Sister Wang usually used for cleaning.
Huang He was told not to reveal what he knew about the situation at the scene. In fact, he would not do that because he was afraid just thinking about it, so he would not dare to say anything. Moreover, he did not know the details.
In fact, this seems to be another secret room murder case.
The door was locked from behind, and it was an old-fashioned bolt-type lock, so it was difficult for the police to rush in.
The autopsy revealed that the female corpse had been raped before her death, but there was no sign of force. She died of excessive shock and suffocation, but the numerous bruises on her body were unexplainable.
The death of the headless male corpse was even more bizarre. There was no obvious trauma. It seemed that someone had cut off the head suddenly. The blade was flat and straight. It was obvious that it was all done with one cut. What kind of arm strength and speed.
The victim showed no signs of struggle or resistance, which is unbelievable for a tall young man unless he was also extremely frightened.
Moreover, the murder weapon was confirmed to be a small switchblade with only the victim's fingerprints on it.
From the situation at the scene, it can be inferred that the deceased man must have heard something and came out to check, but was killed on the spot. Then the murderer entered the room again, locked the door, and killed the girl.
The girl did not scream at that time, which shows that the murderer did not make any noise when he killed the male victim.
But how did he escape in the secret room?
The skylight was too small and could only pass through the body of a seven or eight-year-old child. In addition to the bruises on the female body, it seems that it was a child or a dwarf who did it.
Let’s not talk about how a person with such a figure can have such courage and strength. The thick dust on the skylight can prove that it has not been opened.
Moreover, this case is so cruel and perverted, what is the motive?
Is this a secret room murder? Who has this ability? Is it an unknown beast?
But beasts don't have such intelligence and abnormal behavior. This mystery puzzles everyone who knows the inside story.
Because of the suspense and lack of clues about this case, the Love Hotel in Huanghe was closed for a week.
In fact, even if the business is not closed, no one would dare to come and stay. Even Huang He would stay at a friend's house.
In this matter, the police's first target was Qiuye.
The heads of various halls in Qiuye entered the police station several times in one day.
Xiaoye was sitting in a private room in Aishang, smoking a cigarette slowly and frowning. Director Wang was sitting next to him, also at a loss.
After an unknown amount of time, Director Wang finally spoke, "Brother Xiaoye, is this really not your relationship with Qiuye?"
Xiaoye rolled her eyes at him and said, "Boss, are you making a mistake? Are our Qiuye brothers all superhumans? I even doubt whether this case was done by humans. It's so unbelievable!"
Director Wang sighed, "But no matter what, this incident happened on your territory, brother, you have to give an explanation!"
Xiaoye took a deep drag on his cigarette, "I have cooperated with your investigation very much. If the wild animals were not released on my territory, how could you have easily talked to Qiuye's master!"
Director Wang suddenly broke out in a cold sweat after hearing this, "That's what my brother said, but I still hope that my brother can help more. We, the police and the people, can cooperate and try to find the murderer as soon as possible."
"Don't worry, Director Wang, if there is any need, I will definitely cooperate vigorously." Xiaoye closed his eyes and ignored the other party.
Director Wang was also a smart man. He knew that Xiaoye didn't want to chat with him anymore, so he stood up consciously, said hello to Xiaoye, and walked towards the door.
...
A week later, Huang He bravely returned to his small foreign-style house. When he was worried about being alone without company, he found Sister Sun waiting for him.
He was overjoyed at the time, knowing that this was the plight of the poor. It was useless to be afraid. If he did not earn any money for a day, he might not have anything to eat for a day. Especially a superborn guerrilla like Sister Sun, who had no right to be afraid.
He generously opened a room on the third floor for Sister Sun and refused to let her sleep in the basement.
In fact, this room is closest to his attic, so he feels more at ease when someone is with him.
When he and Sister Sun walked out of the small building without incident the next day, they had given a live advertisement for their hotel.
It was just a murder, not a haunting. After the incident, it was still the same as before.
This is his message.
Sure enough, in the next two days, another young couple who could not bear the pain of lovesickness came to his hotel.
Although the occupancy rate was less than half of before and no one wanted a room on the first floor, Huang He was still very happy. After all, he was starting to make his money again.
That day, he came back from drinking outside and just climbed up to the third floor, when he happened to see a young man and woman leaving the room.
He knew that the murder still had an impact. Many lovers came during the day and left at night.
He greeted me enthusiastically, then shook his head and gave way, "Are you leaving? Come back next time."
But the couple ignored him and went downstairs.
The girl cursed, "This money-crazed guy, house prices have risen so much."
The boy didn't say anything, but he felt a little worried about money. He was a poor student, and he had to endure this petty man's casual increase in housing prices just to meet his girlfriend. It was simply blackmail. I really hoped to get revenge on him.
Just as they were thinking about it, they walked to the first floor and saw a lot of banknotes scattered on the ground. The amount of money shocked them.
The boss must have accidentally dropped it on the ground when he was drunk.
The two of them thought this at the same time and looked at each other. They saw the money spread out on the ground, being blown everywhere by the wind that blew in from the unclosed window.
"If you don't take it, you won't get it!"
The two of them said in unison, and then they went to pick up those hundred-dollar bills, not wanting to leave any of them behind. The more they picked up, the happier they became. They didn't even realize that the money was scattered from the stairs to the corner of the basement.
Moreover, if someone else passes by at this time, they will see that the ground is full of ghost coins.
The couple unknowingly came to the basement...
At almost noon the next day, Huang He, who was still suffering from a hangover headache, was dragged to the basement by Sister Sun.
Because Sister Sun wanted to go there to get something, but this superstitious rural woman firmly believed that the first case was caused by evil spirits, so she did not dare to go down alone, even at noon.
"A man's yang energy is always stronger, so just go with me!"
Huang He had no choice but to accompany her to the basement, but the closer he got, the more his hair stood on end.
He wanted to leave immediately, but didn't because he didn't want to be said to be unworthy of being a man.
What's more important is that this small building has been where he has lived for half his life, and there has never been any supernatural incident. He does not believe that ghosts will appear for no reason.
This is also his entire source of livelihood. Nothing can happen. Even if something happens, he must deal with it as soon as possible.
There was originally a light at the entrance to the basement, but it was broken and never replaced. Fortunately, it was daytime with the sun shining brightly, so it was only a little dim.
"Wow!"
A crisp sound suddenly came, which was even more startling in the empty place, startling Huang He. Sister Sun, who was walking in front, also stopped, causing Huang He to almost hit her back.
"What's wrong?"
Huang He was a little annoyed, and then he realized that the crisp sound was caused by Sister Sun dropping a bunch of keys on the ground. Damn, it was really scary, scary to death!
Sister Sun pointed forward and said only one word, her voice trembling and her steps unable to move, "Door..."
Huang He looked forward and saw the basement door opened and several pieces of paper scattered on the ground.
Ever since the police inspected the scene and returned the place to him, he has kept it locked, several times, otherwise Sister Sun would not have taken such a large set of keys.
But at this time, the door was still open intact, and those pieces of paper were even more incomprehensible. Where did they come from?
Just when he was in a daze, Sister Sun suddenly understood. She yelled, turned around and ran away, knocking Huang He almost down.
For a moment, he wanted to follow Sister Sun and escape, but strangely, he didn't run away in the end. He didn't know what his mentality was, or maybe it was just an inexplicable attraction that made him slowly move closer.
.
As soon as he reached the door, he felt something vaguely shaking, and a creaking sound slowly came. This made Huang He's legs weak and he almost fell to the ground.
He broke into a cold sweat and didn't know whether to run away or go in to see what was going on.
He froze there for a long time, only to see that the images and sounds were still echoing in the empty room. There was no sign of stopping, and no scary things came out of it. He couldn't help but get the upper hand of curiosity.
However, Xiaoye's cell phone rang again when he was far away in Aishang.
It turned out to be a bamboo pole, "Brother Xiaoye, you are really good at predicting things! Fortunately, you let me and Shadow's brothers keep an eye on me near the love hotel, and...still..."
Xiaoye was anxious, "What's wrong? Tell me quickly!"
Zhugan looked at the door of the hotel, "It seems like something happened again at the love hotel!"
