Her hands were very quick and she untied my belt at some point.
He didn't shy away from it, he reached out and dug inside.
This action startled me.
I grabbed her wrist.
"Stop! What are you going to do?!"
"I don't do anything."
She pulled her hand back and said, "I don't want to owe you a favor, so I want to do something for you and repay this favor as soon as possible."
I was speechless and said, "Do you think this is a return of favor? What's your name?"
"Zhou Die, they all call me Xiao Zhou."
"Okay, Xiao Zhou, let me make it clear that I am not interested in you at all, and I don't want to do that with you."
"If you really want to return my favor, just tell me about the hostel owner. I just heard you tell me, what kind of tomb robbers are they?"
"Shh!"
"Brother, please keep your voice down. The soundproofing of this wall is poor. Sometimes you can hear people talking upstairs and downstairs. Don't let him hear you."
Knowing that I was not interested in her, she did not force her, but told me in a low voice: "I only found out last month that there was a basement on the first floor of the hotel. I went in and saw that the room was full of hoes, ropes, and leather.
Bucket, and that...that..." She stretched out her hand to make gestures.
"Luoyang Shovel?" I said.
"Yes! It's Luoyang shovel! How did you know!?"
"Guess, apart from the tools you mentioned, are there any others?"
"have."
She continued: "There are many porcelain jars stained with soil in the basement, as well as such tall little stone figures. I checked online and found that only tomb robbers would use Luoyang shovels to shovel those things."
"Brother, you know, an ancient tomb was robbed the day before yesterday, and a lot of silver coins fell out of the coffin."
I nodded.
He said: "By coincidence, the hotel was closed for the whole day that day, so I suspect it was the owner of the guest house who did it."
I frowned and thought for a while, then asked her: "Have you ever told anyone else these things?"
"No, I don't dare! I have never told anyone except you."
I thought to myself, it's a bit strange... I didn't smell the "earthy smell" of the hostel owner just now.
The earthy smell is the earthy smell. If a person works in this industry all year round, he will be particularly sensitive to this earthy smell.
Even if you are a wild person, you will still have this smell on your body.
I opened the door, walked through the corridor, and quietly walked to the corner of the first floor.
Look down.
The hotel owner was smoking and watching TV downstairs. He didn't know what was on the TV. He leaned on the sofa and grinned while watching.
I went back and said to Xiao Zhou: "I'm going to take a look at the basement you mentioned. Then, you bark twice to attract his attention. Do you know how to bark?"
"Brother, are you a plainclothes policeman?"
I kept a straight face and didn't say yes, but I didn't deny it either.
"Is the door to the basement you mentioned locked?"
"Locked."
"Where's the key?"
Xiao Zhou thought for a while and said: "It's hanging on the wall of his bedroom, which is next to the basement stairs."
When I came out of the corridor, I could hear Yuan Sibi snoring next door. He must have fallen asleep.
A few minutes later.
"ah......"
"oops!......"
Xiao Zhou's voice was incomprehensible, and I didn't explain it. Only those who understand would understand. Her two cries reminded me of Tingting in a daze.
When the owner of the guest house heard the sound, he looked up and muttered: "Why are they all running down the corridor? It's good to be young."
Taking advantage of this opportunity, I leaned against the wall and ran over quickly.
Xiao Zhou's information was correct. There was a plate of keys hanging on the wall of the bedroom. I took the whole plate down.
There is a small door painted with white paint at the end of the corridor, and the surrounding walls are also white, so you can't even notice it unless you look carefully.
