Chapter 527: The Disappeared Old Man
Sister Bai smiled, and did not answer my question directly, but turned to the assistant next to her and said, "Take the guests back to the room to rest for a while, and dinner will ......be fine for a while."
I looked at Sister Bai a little dazedly, and she pushed Ding Yi and me forward and said, "Let's go! Go back to the room and take a shower, aren't you tired after a dozen hours of flight? I'm going to prepare an authentic French meal for you......
So we went back to the room with her assistant first, after all, Sister Bai is not an outsider, since she invited us here, then sooner or later she will tell us what happened.
As we walked along, we saw vineyards and this old-looking winery is located in the middle of it. Let's not talk about whether the red wine made here is good or not, just say that the scenery here is matched with this European-style wine castle, it is really extremely beautiful......
Sister Bai's assistant took me to the guest rooms on the third floor, and he told us that each room on the third floor has a small semi-protruding terrace where guests can enjoy a glass of wine and watch the sunset.
I smiled and said, "Foreigners will still enjoy it, drink a glass of red wine and watch the sunset......"
Uncle Li pouted when he heard this and said, "What's the matter, I can't watch the sunset after drinking Erguotou!"
I couldn't help but laugh and said, "Yes! Of course!"
After we put down our luggage, we each took a hot shower, and finally washed away some of the fatigue of the long-distance flight. At this time, Sister Bai's assistant came over and asked us to go to the restaurant for dinner, saying that Sister Bai was already waiting for us.
When I arrived at the restaurant, Sister Bai was setting dishes on the table, I had long heard that it was troublesome to eat French food, and it seemed that I was going to open my eyes today. When Sister Bai saw us coming down, she smiled and said to me, "Jinbao, I opened you a bottle of Bordeaux red wine from 2010, and the climate of that year was suitable, and the tannin of the red wine was better, so the taste of the wine was still very good." β
After listening to Sister Bai's words, I was a little embarrassed and said, "Sister, to be honest, I don't know much about red wine, and I feel the same taste no matter how expensive red wine I drink...... Sour does not pull. β
Sister Bai laughed when she heard this, and said, "Brother you are really, you know that many people come to the winery to taste wine now, but in fact, they don't know much, but they have to show off......!
At this time, Uncle Li asked Sister Bai when she bought this place?
Sister Bai said with a smile, "A few months ago, I was a shareholder with a friend, and the red wine industry in Bordeaux has been sluggish in the past two years, so many wineries have gone bankrupt and sold. However, this winery is only a small and medium-sized chΓ’teau in Bordeaux, but it has a history of more than 100 years. β
I couldn't help but exclaim, "What a business?"
Hearing me ask this, Sister Bai, who was still smiling just now, had a stiff expression, and then began to beckon and start serving, diverting the topic.
In fact, this French food is really not very useful in my Chinese stomach, or I am not used to eating cold dishes for a while and hot dishes for a while, in short, after that, I am not very interested in French food.
It was finally time to serve dessert, and I estimated that the dish should be almost ready. At this time, Sister Bai picked up her wine glass and said, "Thank you for coming from afar, I really encountered some trouble in a foreign country this time, otherwise I wouldn't have bothered everyone to run so far." β
Uncle Li also put down the knife and fork in his hand at this time and said, "Since we are here, we will definitely try our best to help you, you don't have to worry about anything, we are not outsiders." β
Sister Bai nodded after hearing this, and then told us about the strange things that have happened since she took over the winery......
The winery was bought a quarter ago by a joint venture with a friend of hers, whose family had been in the wine business for three generations. However, in the fourth generation, due to the recession of the wine industry in mainland France, the winery was put up for sale.
In the first month of the acquisition, Sister Bai's business was still good, and most of the customers who came were domestic tourists, although they may not be as proficient in the culture of red wine as the French, but they were willing to spend money on wine.
But just last month, an old German man came to the winery, saying that he had been here many years ago, and that he had not had the opportunity to taste the fine wine here because of some special reasons. Now that he is in his late teens, he wants to taste the wine here in his lifetime.
At that time, Sister Bai felt that the old man's spirit was quite precious, and even after so many years, she had not forgotten the red wine here. But she didn't ask when the old German man came here, and why he didn't taste the red wine at that time.
After that, Sister Bai arranged the old German man in the room of the previous owner of the winery, because the style in that room almost maintained the original appearance of decades ago, and even many of the furnishings in it were left over from that year.
In normal times, this room is not open to the public, because any picture frame in it is decades old. But Sister Bai saw that the old man was already in his old age, so she made an exception and let him stay in it for one night.
But she never imagined that her kind act would cause a series of terrible tragedies afterward......
On the second day of the German senior's stay, the room service knocked on the door as usual and asked the guest if he needed to clean the room. But when they came to the room where the old man went, they couldn't knock on the door.
At that time, the room service thought that the old man might have gotten up early and went out, so he temporarily gave up the plan to knock on the door and left. But until noon, when it was time to check out, the old man still didn't come out.
At this time, the room service used the hotel key to open the door because of the old man's advanced age and the fact that he should not have anything happen in the room alone. As a result, when I went in and took a look, I found that the old man's belongings were all there, but the old man was not there!
After Sister Bai learned that the old man who lived in that "special" room had an accident, she hurried over. But when she came to the room, she found that there was a sour smell of spoiled red wine in the room...... There is nothing unusual about the rest of the rest.
There is surveillance in the corridor and outside of the wine castle, but Sister Bai watched all the surveillance videos of the wine castle that night, and she didn't find that the old man had ever walked out of that room!
But this big living person can't disappear out of thin air, so the problem must still be in the room, but they haven't noticed it for a while. Because the disappearance of the guest is not a trivial matter, Sister Bai chose to call the police immediately.
