Everyone has seen this photo, including the person who met the man.
"Look, I said, don't worry now, they are going to find their own happiness..."
Alexiel smiled and joked to the side, and everyone felt relieved.
Officer Brooke sent them outside the door, and before leaving, he suddenly asked: "Where are you from?"
"California." Beth and the two men said at the same time.
It turns out these two guys are from California too.
"Then you are far enough away from home..."
Brooke said casually, but Owen always felt that his eyes were meaningful and seemed to have a hint of mockery.
After leaving the police station, the tense atmosphere no longer existed. The group of people chatted and laughed with Eric Hill and returned to the hotel. Eric Hill said that he would take them to a hot spring for beauty.
Owen quietly pulled Monica behind. It looked like a couple was getting tired of each other, but in reality he was lying in Monica's ear and whispered: "There is a problem, Lorna and that Icelandic man, they must have already
Killed..."
Monica was not surprised, but instead looked around cautiously, and then whispered: "I know..."
Owen suddenly understood. No wonder Monica became a little silent later. It turned out that she had already realized that something was wrong. But this makes sense. After all, she is SWAT. Even if she is not a police detective, her insight is by no means comparable to that of ordinary people.
"How did you find out?"
"The two people in the photo have something wrong with their bodies. They are too stiff..."
Owen nodded. He basically figured it out from this point. In fact, ordinary people could also figure it out, but they didn't pay much attention to it. Eric Hill had been distracting them.
"I suspect that Eric Hill, the hotel, and the police are all in the same group..."
This time Monica looked a little surprised, but she figured it out immediately. They came here because Eric Hill said there was a beauty spa here, and Eric Hill introduced the hotel. Even the policeman was Eric Hill.
Hill's acquaintance.
Who believes that Eric Hill is fine?
But the more I thought about it, the more frightened I became. If Irving's deduction was followed, then not only the police and the hotel, but also everyone at yesterday's party, and even the entire town were participants.
This is incredible, but if you think about it carefully, there are clues everywhere.
Monica thought of the strange scene at yesterday's ball. Those wild bees and butterflies surrounded Beth, but no one paid attention to the more beautiful Alexiel, and almost no one even spoke to her.
"Monica, Eric Hill said he would take us to the hot springs later..."
Beth ran over excitedly and hugged Monica. Just when Monica was about to remind Beth, Eric Hill also came over and said, "Yeah, let's go have a drink first, and then I'll take you there."
Hot springs, the effect of soaking in hot springs will be better after drinking wine..."
"Really, this is great, I can't wait..."
The heartless Whitney was already shouting from the side, and Eric Hill leaned over. Monica couldn't help but remind Beth again, so she could only hesitate and said: "Well, you go first, Owen and I have to go back to the room.
, I will go to the bar downstairs to meet you later..."
The group of people separated in the lobby, Owen and Monica went back to the room, and the rest of the group went to the bar downstairs.
Upstairs, Monica dialed Beth's phone after hesitating for a long time. She wanted to find an excuse to call Beth up, but just as she was about to speak, the voice from the other side came from Eric Hill.
"Hey, Monica, come down as soon as you're done. We're all waiting for you to go to the hot springs together."
"Oh okay, I'll be right away. Where's Beth?"
"She went to change into her swimsuit..."
Monica hung up the phone directly, "Something happened to them!"
Owen nodded. He was beside Monica when she made the call. Even if Beth left, it was impossible not to take her phone. There was definitely something wrong with Eric Hill.
I don’t know who these guys are, but they obviously only attack foreign tourists. Needless to say, something must have happened to others, so they are the only ones left.
Owen led Monica out of the room, searched around, and soon opened an empty room not far from the opposite side, hiding it until only a crack was left to peek out.
After a while, I saw three strong men walking into the corridor. The strong men walked straight to the room where they were before.
But soon they found that there was no one in the house, and started looking around. Owen closed the door gently, and Monica's cell phone started to vibrate.
The caller ID was Beth, but both Owen and Monica knew that the caller must be Eric Hill. Fortunately, Owen thought carefully and asked her to mute the sound, otherwise several people outside would have followed the ringtone of their mobile phones.
coming.
The phone was still vibrating silently, and several strong men were patrolling in the corridor outside. Monica gently handed Owen a candlestick, which was the only thing in the room that could be used as a weapon.
Fortunately, probably because they didn't hear the phone ringing, the big men looked around and left. Owen and Monica breathed a sigh of relief, and their hands holding the candlestick were all sweaty.
They are not afraid of the three big men outside. Both Owen and Monica can easily defeat them. The key is that they don't know how many enemies they have. If Owen estimates it, the whole town is,
Then they will have no way to escape.
"what should we do?"
Monica asked softly.
"Wait a while, and when they go out to look for us, we go to the front desk to get our passports, then grab a car and leave. We should be able to escape..."
According to Owen's estimation, it is unlikely that the entire town would be involved. At most, they would know and acquiesce. It would be too difficult to control the thoughts of hundreds of people in the entire town.
Monica shook her head, "No, we have to rescue Beth and the others..."
Owen suddenly laughed. He seemed to have fallen into a dead end in his thinking. Monica was not a weak woman like Amanda. Monica was fully capable of protecting herself, and he could let it go.
He had been holding back his anger the last time he was in Paris, but his first priority at that time was to save people, so he let those damn Albanians go.
This time something like this happened again. Although I don’t know what those guys were going to do after they captured Beth, it would definitely not be a good thing. Owen didn’t want to let those scum go free this time.
Owen put his ear against the door to listen to the noise outside. It was quiet outside. He originally thought that if the other party couldn't find them in the hotel, they would send someone out to look for them, but it seemed that the other party was sure that they were still in the hotel, so they started sending people to a room.
Search in a room next to each other.
While Owen and Monica were searching other rooms, Owen and Monica jumped directly from the corridor window to the balcony outside, and then jumped out of the inn along the balcony.
Now they have no weapons, they only have a claw knife, and the other party has many people, and it is difficult to get a gun, so it is not suitable to go back to the hotel to get the passport for the time being.
As soon as the two of them hid behind a wall, someone came out from the side door. The one who survived was actually Eric Hill. Monica also saw the necklace she was wearing around her neck, which once belonged to Beth.
