The bright light outside falls from the old and narrow skylight.
Because it passed through the dirty hemp glass, the light entering inside was already very dim, giving the room a stale smell both inside and outside.
A beam of light happened to fall on the bed where the murder occurred. There was a person lying on his back on the bed, covered with a thick quilt, motionless, with only his head exposed, as quiet as if he was dead.
Or just dead.
The sturdy old-fashioned ceiling fan in the middle of the room was turned on, spinning slowly, and the light, shadow and sound came from it.
Or maybe it comes from the naked woman hanging from the ceiling fan.
When Huang He stuck his head out to watch, the woman hanging on the ceiling fan happened to turn to face him, and he recognized the girl at a glance as the girl he met at the entrance to the third floor yesterday.
At this time, her face was black and blue, her orifices were bleeding, her tongue was hanging out, and her eyes were bulging as she stared at the visitor.
Huang He took a breath of air-conditioning and ran out crawling, not caring about the image of a man he wanted to re-establish or the future reputation of the hotel, shouting: "Another murder! Another life!"
"
This time when the police came, because it was noon and the people from Qiuye had been squatting outside the hotel, they were faster than the police.
This time there were more people watching, but they couldn't get any definite information. They could only see Huang He sitting dully on the stone bench in front of the small flower garden, muttering to himself.
"What kind of good brother did you recruit? He caused such trouble to me and deliberately blocked my way of survival! It's so miserable, so miserable." I don't know whether he meant that he was miserable or that the victim was miserable.
But no matter what, his hotel cannot be opened for the time being.
For the police and the people in the shadows, this has been added to their worries. The last secret room murder case had no clue at all. Although this time it was not so technical, it did not leave any traces of the crime.
The murdered girl also had an indecent assault before she was killed. It was not an indecent assault, but it happened with her boyfriend.
But she was also naked when she died, and her body was also covered with bruises and irregular small handprints. She was also suffocated and frightened to death, but her suffocation process was more obvious, and she was hanged alive.
The boy lying on the bed was covered with a quilt. Although he was aware that there would be a more terrifying and disgusting scene under the quilt, he still did not expect it to be like that.
An anatomy operation was performed on the boy. The entire chest was opened and the positions of all the internal organs were changed. His blood had dried up and seeped into the thick bedding.
Were they killed at the same time or one after another? Why was it that there were five people upstairs at that time, but no one heard the call for help and still did not resist?
Why does the lock on the door show no signs of being forced open? What about the ghost paper? Is it deliberately tempting people's imagination or does it have a deeper meaning?
This case seems like a series of crimes like the previous one, but I don’t have any clue about the suspect, and I don’t understand why he chose this hotel to attack the young couple?
And these two cases are not only cruel, they are simply perverted!
...
When Zhugan returned to Aishang, Xiaoye and others had been waiting in the private room for a long time. Zhugan took a sip of water and said, "I think this is the work of a sexual pervert. These are the photos taken from the scene."
Wuqing glanced at it briefly, "But we have to take into account the small size of the handprint, so his power is not consistent with the normal physiological characteristics of humans."
Cold-blooded sighed, "Where is the murder weapon in the second case? Why are there no clues at all? You must know that there is no perfect murder in this world!"
Tie Shou heard everyone's conversation and shouted in a loud voice: "Damn it, I don't want to go to the police station to drink tea again. These two cases are simply not the work of humans!"
Xiaoye frowned slightly, looked at everyone's confused faces, and pondered for a while, "I'm going to stay in this hotel for one night to try it out."
Lengxue became anxious and said quickly: "Brother Xiaoye, you absolutely must not do this!"
Xiaoye lit a cigarette for himself, "Don't worry, I'll be fine. Lengxue, you go and notify the police. Don't let Liu Hotel close down yet. We'll talk about everything after I come back!"
Lengxue hesitated for a moment, "Brother Xiaoye, let me go with you!"
Xiaoye felt warm in his heart and secretly sighed at the cold-blooded loyalty. However, these two cases were definitely not the actions of ordinary people. Xiaoye knew very well that if Lengxue was allowed to follow them, the consequences would be unimaginable.
He had never been afraid of Fei Zhan, the nine-tailed demon fox, or the mysterious old man not long ago. How could he back down this time?
Thinking of this, Xiaoye's eyes flashed, "Do as I say! I've already decided, that's it! Also, don't reveal to outsiders that I'm going to check in, and don't wait outside. This is
I'll handle the matter alone!"
Seeing that Xiaoye had already made a conclusion, everyone didn't say anything more. They sighed and left the private room one after another.
...
Two days later, when Xiaoye came to the love hotel, she took a brief look outside and then walked in.
At this time, Huang He was worried about the lack of business. When he saw Xiao Ye coming, his eyes suddenly lit up.
Xiao Ye casually found a room, and Huang He attentively took him to the guest room to take a look, "Mr., this room is satisfactory."
Before Xiao Ye could say anything, Huang He said again: "Although it's not the best room in our store, it's very quiet. The biggest room was booked in advance by another customer."
Xiaoye was not a picky person, so he smiled and nodded to Huang He, "This one is very good, thank you."
"I wish you a pleasant stay, sir." Huang He then walked out of the room.
Due to the murders, the hotel's business has become somewhat sluggish.
Only one international student signed a long-term lease because he liked the architectural style of this foreign-style building and paid several months' deposit in advance.
Another company booked a room for their new staff and paid a month's rent.
Our ancestors said well that only three things can happen. Huang He believes that nothing will happen again.
Just when Huang He was happy that he was about to transit again and Xiao Ye was busy checking the room, someone knocked on Xiao Ye's door.
Outside the door was a young man in his twenties, clean-cut, not tall, with glasses on his face. He looked gentle but gave Xiaoye the feeling of being shrewd and calculating.
"I am your neighbor, and I came here to pay a visit. I heard that your husband will also stay for a while. He may cause you trouble in the future!"
He nodded politely. Although he spoke fluently, his tone was a bit stiff and did not sound Chinese. Coupled with his East Asian face, Xiaoye guessed that he was either Korean or Japanese.
"I'm Japanese, my name is Henshu Jiner, and I came to China to study." He seemed to see Xiaoye's doubts and answered proactively.
Xiaoye didn't like to deal with this kind of polite scene, so he only answered a few words casually.
Yanwuzhener asked sensitively: "Sir, don't you like Japanese people?"
"I don't have any special likes or dislikes towards the Japanese." Xiaoye didn't like his probing attitude and answered bluntly, "But since we will be neighbors in the future, I believe we can get along very well. Now I have to pack my things.
How about we talk again when we have a chance?"
"Of course." Yanzhu Jiner said still tepidly, "Excuse me, I hope to become friends with you sir."
Xiaoye nodded to him and then closed the door.
Anyway, Jiner stood in the corridor for a while and murmured to himself: "He is the guy who killed Jingxian? Oh, it's a pity, but there is nothing we can do about it."
After a while, Xiaoye came out of the room and first looked around the five rooms on the third floor. He found that except for one room for himself and one room for the Japanese guy named Han vertical Jin Er, the boss only had two empty rooms.
Living in the attic, he even opened a room for Sister Sun, the cleaning lady and kitchen lady.
Maybe it’s because the boss is extremely generous, but he also looks stingy. Maybe it’s because he’s special to Sister Sun, and he treats her all the time. It’s really puzzling.
There wasn't much to see on the second floor, which was similar to the third floor. But as soon as she arrived on the first floor, she felt a chill and the feeling of being spied on.
This made Xiaoye shiver, hug his shoulders, and look around to see if the doors and windows on the first floor were not closed properly, and found that everything was fine. The wind was blowing from a passage at the back of the hall on the far left.
The passage was dark and seemed to lead to a basement.
That was the crime scene, and it seemed that everything had been cleaned up.
Xiaoye thought so and walked in that direction unknowingly. When he got deep into the corner, he suddenly heard a low voice inside.
I can't hear exactly what they are, but I can tell they are the voices of a man and a woman.
"Who's in there?"
Xiao Ye Wen suddenly felt a strong sense of fear. He couldn't help but move back a few steps and bumped into a soft object. At the same time, a hand patted his shoulder, and a smell was carried by the wind.
Come.
Xiaoye let out a soft cry, jumped to the side, and turned around to see that it was just the Yellow River.
"Damn, you're going to scare me to death!"
Xiaoye stroked his chest and saw that Huang He was so drunk that he couldn't stand still. He fell down from somewhere. His clothes were indescribably dirty, and his vomit was stained on his clothes. The smell that came with the wind
This is where the odor comes from.
Xiaoye pinched her nose and walked away, unaware that she had almost retreated into the basement passage to avoid the Yellow River.
"Come out quickly!"
Huang He suddenly shouted loudly, which made Xiao Ye shrink back in fear, not knowing who he was calling out. Xiao Ye saw that Huang He was not drunk at all at this time, as if he had woken up from a sudden shock, and pointed at him with a pale face.
Huang He said that he suddenly rushed over and grabbed Xiaoye out, "Don't go in there!"
"What's wrong?"
Xiaoye was frightened by his demeanor and couldn't care less about the filth on his body.
Huang He stared at the entrance to the basement with a pale face and said nothing. Xiaoye followed his gaze and saw that there was nothing there, but the dark entrance made people feel a little nervous.
Xiaoye sighed and asked knowingly: "I'm visiting a house, can't I go there?"
"You can't go!" Huang He said nervously, "I'm telling you, don't wander in, it's haunted in there!"
He said the last two words in an extremely low voice, almost touching Xiaoye's ears, his eyes rolling around.
"ghost?"
Xiaoye smiled faintly, looking indifferent, "I heard someone talking inside, so I wanted to go in and take a look."
Huang He was so shocked that he almost sat down on the ground, "Is someone talking?"
Xiaoye looked at Huang He and felt funny in his heart, "I'm not sure, it seems to be a man and a woman."
Huang He shivered at first, and then suddenly shouted, "A man and a woman! A man and a woman! It's the murderous soul! They also came to harm me! Why did you bully me when you have the ability to take revenge!"
Alcohol and anger stimulated Huang He's courage, and he had desperate thoughts for a moment. He pointed at the basement passage and cursed, although he still did not dare to take a step closer.
Huang He was already living in chaos and poverty, but he still came to bully him for no reason! He was angry and didn't understand why so many inexplicable things suddenly happened to a clean house.
The police said it was a homicide, and there were rumors outside that it was haunted, shattering his hopeless but peaceful life.
Did he do something outrageous? Does he deserve his misfortune?
"You're not allowed to go there, you hear me!"
Huang He shouted to Xiaoye with a red face, putting on a heroic posture, thinking proudly, after all, he was the one who pulled this ignorant guy out of the basement entrance just now.
Xiaoye nodded lightly, then walked slowly upstairs.
