Chapter 077 [Pretend to be confused with understanding]
The Gujia Hotel is a two-story small foreign-style building. Judging from the aesthetics of the time, it was definitely one of the most luxurious in the village.
"Liang Kun, you and Zheng Peng stay in the car and monitor the radar. If there is any sign of resentment, alert us immediately." Lei Yang ordered the two people behind him.
He Xiaotian took a strange look at the silent man who had never spoken a word since they met.
Liangkun? I'm still a crow!
"Squeak!"
Watching the two of them enter the SUV, Lei Yang and others pushed open the old wooden door.
A strong musty smell suddenly emerged from inside, indicating how long it had not been cleaned.
"Ahem..."
The few people walking in front were obviously choked.
"Ring ring ring..."
There is a rope on the door that leads directly to the counter.
On the wall behind the counter, you can clearly see through the moonlight shining in, a bell tied there.
This was the most common reminder method more than ten years ago.
I don't know how long this hotel has been open, but no one has come to visit it.
The front desk was dark, and even the lights were not turned on.
"Who is this in the middle of the night?"
An old and somewhat weak voice sounded from the darkness.
"Click!"
The sound of the switch was so harsh in this room where you could hear a pin drop.
Some dazzling white light lit up, and everyone squinted their eyes.
"You are?"
The old man's voice came from the counter, and a group of people looked at him.
I saw an old man with white hair, somewhat cloudy eyes, and age spots on his face, standing behind the dusty counter.
"Old man, we are foreigners. Our car broke down on the way and we reluctantly drove into Zhoujia Village. We were worried about not finding a place to stay, so we planned to spend the night in the car. As a coincidence, we happened to be staying at the hotel owned by your old man.
Doorway."
Lei Yang casually came up with a ridiculous reason to excuse his boss.
"How long has it been since anyone came to my place? Ten years, or five years? Forget it, don't mention these, there are still spare rooms upstairs, you can live in them yourself. If you want hot water, you can heat it yourself. It's okay, don't run away
Come and disturb me, old man."
After the old man finished speaking, he took out a bunch of keys from under the counter and handed them to them.
"Since no one has been here for ten years, why do you still open the door to welcome guests?" Captain Su stretched out his hand to take the key and asked with a smile.
"Waiting for my son and grandson." The old man's voice was very low, as if he was whispering or talking in his sleep.
Upon hearing this, the captain surnamed Su realized that there was a story in this and continued to ask: "I would like to ask, what happened to your son and grandson?"
"You know it's rude to ask?"
Unexpectedly, the old man's eyes widened, he curled his lips and said something dissatisfied to him.
"Okay, don't ask. Usually, you are the only one who talks a lot." Lei Yang also glared at the captain named Su and scolded him. He is the temporary captain of this team, and during the mission, he has the greatest authority.
A group of five people went up to the second floor.
Before leaving, He Xiaotian took a deep look at the lonely old man standing at the counter.
As soon as they went upstairs, they opened the first room and rushed in.
"Zhou Yun, check the hotel owner's information in the database, as well as his son and grandson."
After a while, the information about the old man's family appeared in front of him.
[Name: Li Wencai
Sex: Male
Age:55
Home address: Zhoujia Village
Educational level: primary school
Life: Participated in the self-defense counterattack against the Moon Kingdom in 1979, and was honorably discharged and returned home.]
[Name: Li Long

[Name: Li Cheng

Age:6
Home address: Zhoujia Village
Education level: none
Life: Accidental death.]
He Xiaotian looked at the information on the tablet and couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth. Isn't it too crude?
The captain surnamed Su on the side seemed to have noticed his thoughts, and explained with a smile: "Do you know how many people there are in the Demon City? More than 24 million, we can't be able to detail every person until he was a child.
How many times have you wet the bed?
Only the information of certain key surveillance targets will be investigated in great detail. Ordinary people are extracted from the public security system. We only need to know some important things in their lives."
"Strange, his son died unexpectedly, and so did his grandson. Why did he tell us just now that he was waiting for them to come back?" Zhou Yun asked in surprise.
"It's normal for an old man who is in his prime years to have some mental confusion. Besides, isn't it nice to have someone to rely on? At least, there is still hope of living." Zhao Lei's brain is still strong.
I just said everything I was thinking in one go.
However, this reason is quite convincing.
But Lei Yang, captain surnamed Su, headed by He Xiaotian, didn't think so.
There is a gathering place for mirror spirits. If you tell me that he is normal, you cannot believe it.
"The four of us take turns to keep vigil. There are still seven hours until dawn. The first three will keep watch for two hours. Is there no problem?" Lei Yang took the initiative to exclude He Xiaotian. One of them was not a member of their scavengers, and the other was.
A strange person employed by Liu Rui.
"You guys go to bed first and recharge your batteries. I'll go downstairs and talk to the boss. If there is no movement from the Mirror Spirits tonight, then tomorrow we will visit the villagers and ask them if they have noticed any abnormalities in the village. This is a costly undertaking.
Vigorous work.”
After the words fell, Lei Yang walked out of the room.
It seems that he plans to have a 'battle' with his boss to see if he can dig out more things, or clues.
He Xiaotian did not follow him. Playing with terminology was not his strong point.
As the saying goes, when you encounter danger, take out a big hammer weighing more than 300 kilograms and hit it hard and you're done.
If you are beaten to death, you will eat meat and drink soup; if you are not beaten to death, you will run away.
Everyone took a look at He Xiaotian, who was lying on the bed with his eyes closed and sleeping, and felt that there was no one left!
In this case, can you still sleep?
I really don’t know whether I should say that you are big-hearted or that a skilled person is bold.
'It is certain that there is something wrong with the owner of this hotel. It is impossible for a normal person to not sweat, especially on this hot day. Although from the outside, he looks like an old man stepping into the coffin board with half a foot. But his breathing is steady and strong.
The slow movement when handing over the keys was obviously intentional.
Alas! It's a pity that I came with Lei Yang and the others, otherwise I could have just taken out the hammer and tested it. By the way, Lei Yang is so unkind. He actually used Zheng Peng and that Liang Kun as bait.
Ma Dan, it's a good thing he didn't join them, otherwise he would have to count the money for them if he was sold. I don't know that Zheng Peng, a slut, doesn't know his current situation. But even if he has a clear conscience, he will probably pretend
I don't know.
This is the system that asks you to do some dangerous work. Even if you understand it, you can only hide it and pretend to be confused. The first level of officialdom is overwhelming, and today I congratulate someone for gaining experience.'
