After seeing off the group of policemen, the fat man looked back at the clock on the wall: "This interview took a long enough time. It's past four o'clock now."
The Lantern Festival starts at 7pm, and they have less than three hours left.
It was already getting a little dark at this time.
The fat man noticed that the light in the room diagonally opposite had been turned on. He stared at the door with a strange expression on his face: "It was like this a few times before..."
Gu Mian picked up the guitar bag next to the door: "What kind?"
The fat man pursed his lips towards the door: "It's that room. Every time it gets a little dark, the lights will turn on immediately."
It's now around four in the afternoon, and although the sky isn't as bright as before, it's not so bright that I need to turn on the lights.
But the room opposite them turns on the lights at about this time every day.
"By the way, aren't the people living in the house opposite going to participate in the event today?" The fat man hesitated: "If you have so much money to stay in a hotel, it shouldn't be a problem to get event tickets, right?"
Gu Mian glanced at the fat man: "You don't care about heaven and earth, or do you care whether people go to the event or not?"
The fat man chuckled: "That seems to be true."
At this time, Chu Changge was standing next to the bright window.
Most of the day has passed and the area has been cleaned up. A cordon has been set up next to the tent where the murder occurred, and no one dares to go there.
Although the current social situation is special and it is inconvenient to investigate cases, superficial efforts must still be made to avoid causing panic among the people.
There were originally five people in the tent, but one died. The remaining four men were taken away, probably to ask about the deceased.
At this time, people below were all rushing towards the event location.
The event venue is Hengdian Film and Television City, which is not far from this place. You can get there in half an hour on foot.
Chu Changge saw that the people below had packed up their tents, and then moved in groups in one direction.
The people who set up tents here are basically from other places. Most people really don’t dare to go on the road alone in this situation, so they all go in groups.
The fat man also moved closer to Chu Changge and followed him to watch the flow of people below: "Speaking of which... can these people enter the activity area?"
He remembered that event tickets seemed not easy to obtain.
"Most of them can only be seen outside the event," Chu Changge said: "Many people here come here with a sense of luck."
There should be most people below who did not get event tickets.
But this does not prevent them from having unrealistic fantasies.
"What if something unexpected happens and I get let in?"
“What if I pick up a ticket at the door?”
"What if I meet an old man with a white beard and give me a ticket?"
Of course this unrealistic idea will not come true.
Gu Mian and others went downstairs when the crowd was not very dense. When they went downstairs, the lights in the room opposite were still on, and the people inside were motionless, as if they had no intention of participating in the event.
When a few people went down to the first floor, they saw the boss guarding the counter.
The boss is a little chubby, probably because he hasn't had a good sleep for several nights, and his face is a little haggard.
"Ah" the boss saw them at a glance, and he yawned: "You also want to go to the film and television city to see it, go ahead, go ahead, it's quite dangerous there, but I don't plan to go there anyway..."
Gu Mian felt that the reason why the boss didn't go was probably because he didn't get a ticket for the event.
And if he leaves, no one will be guarding his little hotel.
This hotel has been open for some years. Theoretically speaking, the hotel cannot be opened under the current situation. Fortunately, there are troops stationed nearby and patrolled every day. If there are any criminals, they can be killed immediately, so the boss still
I can run this hotel with great care.
After yawning, the boss hesitated and said, "Speaking of which, have you met the guest who lives across from you?"
There is still some time before the event starts, so Gu Mian is not in a hurry.
He touched his chin: "You're talking about the one with a nice voice?"
The boss nodded and asked again: "Have you seen it?"
Gu Mian shook his head: "No, what's wrong?"
Then the hotel owner showed an anxious expression, but this expression did not last long, and he continued: "Nothing, I just want to ask, by the way, there is one more thing..."
"You know someone died next to our hotel today, right? I know the five people in the tent. They are all locals. Their homes are not far from here...I heard from the police comrades that they had a holiday with you?"
The boss’s words contain a lot of information.
Since you are a local, why do you want to set up a tent in front of the hotel?
The boss hesitated again and said: "Actually, there are some things I shouldn't say. I'm also afraid that the place will be ruined, but I see that you are all my guests, so I still have to remind you..."
"When this ghost game first started, we had several small organizations here. At that time, there were no event notices, and the superiors didn't pay much attention to them. In addition, these small organizations are quite shady, and they will attack whenever something goes wrong.
They were escaping and couldn't be caught at all; over a period of time, these small organizations had some friction with each other, and bloodshed occurred. Finally, a small gang merged these organizations..."
"Several small organizations merged and became a big organization." The boss paused when he said this: "There is also a very famous name, called Qingyun Gang. Before the army came here, this gang was considered a local hegemon.
, but they disappeared after the army arrived..."
The fat man raised his eyebrows. The name "Qingyun Gang" made people feel as if they had traveled through time.
"I think those five people should be from that gang, and I think there are more than just them in the surrounding gangs. You'd better be careful when you go out... they might follow you."
The boss's voice was very low when he said this, as if he was afraid of being overheard.
Gu Mian nodded slightly: "Thank you."
The boss waved his hand: "No thank you, no thank you."
At this time, the flow of people outside had reduced. Gu Mian took a look outside, and then walked out of the hotel door.
Chu Changge and Fatty also followed.
When he went out, the fat man still held the camera tightly in his hand: "Say doctor, I haven't been able to take pictures today. How about taking one now?"
Gu Mian shook his head: "No need, I should be able to use this thing for tonight's activities."
Only then did the fat man take back the camera in his hand.
They walked forward for a while and finally approached the film and television city.
It turned out that those who did not get tickets had no chance of participating in the event.
Because a cordon has been set up around the film and television city to keep out those who are determined to be evil.
Someone from the military is reviewing duplicate admission tickets, and only those with tickets can cross the cordon.
The film and television city is very large, so you can't see the end of the cordon. At a glance, they are all troops with guns.
