"Well, what's the matter, are you in trouble?" the boss was stopped by Tang Tian and couldn't help frowning and asked.

"Oh, I'm done with my cigarettes, I want to ask if some are sold downstairs?" Tang Tian pretended to smile bitterly, and sniffled with his voice, looking like an old cigarette gun with no rations~.

The boss didn't think much about it, and impatiently motioned for Tang Tian to follow him, and continued to walk down briskly, and when he came to the second floor, the sound of banging on the roller shutter door outside was a little louder.

"me, me!" the boss looked very distressed about his rolling shutter door, and his voice was full of anger.

When he came to the door, the boss did not rush to open the door, but first turned out a small wooden box from behind the counter, in which all kinds of cigarettes were neatly stacked.

Tang Tian didn't care whether it was true or not, he casually chose a box to pay for and put it in his pocket, and while turning his head and walking back, he secretly wondered in his heart how long he could get him into it and squat for the crime of selling tobacco without a license.

Tang Tian walked up the stairs and did not return directly to the third floor, but lit a cigarette and stood at the corridor window on the second floor, looking like he was addicted to smoking, and took a big sip of cigarettes to spit out the smoke.

"What the hell, you don't sleep so late, run here to dry my hair?" After a rumbling shutter downstairs, the boss's thick voice came again.

"Ahem, Brother Liang, let's talk about this inside!" The voice of the person outside the door was very low, if Tang Tian hadn't stood at the window, he really wouldn't have heard it really.

"Why do you have to go into the house and say, can you bear you?" The boss became even more impatient, "Lao Tzu is in a very bad mood, tonight is angry, and he lost a small thousand yuan! Don't mess with me, you kid!"

"Brother Liang, it's really not appropriate to talk about this matter outside......! The person outside was very cautious, and the key words were said in a lower voice, and Tang Tian couldn't hear it clearly.

But after saying this, the boss's attitude immediately changed, his voice was significantly lowered by more than half, and he hurriedly pulled the person into the house, and then closed the roller shutter casually.

At the same time as they closed the roller shutter, Tang Tian did not dare to hesitate, and immediately raised his legs and returned to his room on the third floor, and then leaned against the door with the gatekeeper covered.

Soon the footsteps of the two of them were heard outside, and both of them walked eagerly, and walked all the way to the fourth floor without stopping.

This time, Tang Tian didn't dare to follow and eavesdrop again, and judging from the appearance of these two people, what he was going to say next must be more secretive, even if he followed, he might not be able to hear anything, and it also increased the danger of exposure, which was not very cost-effective.

But the question is, what are these two people talking about, what are the years mentioned in the words of the man downstairs, and why can the boss's attitude change suddenly?

Curiosity was like a cat scratching his heart, and Tang Tian paced back and forth in the room, looking a little restless.

At this moment, Tang Tian's mobile phone suddenly rang, and he took out his mobile phone only to find that it was Qu Liuqiao.

"You haven't slept so late?" Tang Tian felt a little strange, could it be that there was an accident at the hotel again?

Sometimes it's so strange, the more you worry about something, the more something is going to happen, Qu Liu's weak voice is very urgent, and what he said just verifies Tang Tian's premonition.

"Hurry up and come over! Manager Cheng, who talked to you last night, jumped off the building and committed suicide!"

As soon as he heard this, Tang Tian immediately became anxious, judging from yesterday's situation, Manager Cheng definitely has no tendency to commit suicide by jumping off the building, he is still worried about his future future, there is no reason for such a person to commit suicide!

Tang Tian was not in the mood to go to the fourth floor to find the boss to open the door, so he jumped out directly from the window on the second floor, and there was naturally no such thing as a taxi on the streets of the town in the middle of the night, Tang Tian depressedly relived the feeling of running five kilometers in the police academy back then.

When Tang Tian arrived at the hotel out of breath, the special case team of the county police station had already controlled the scene, and two forensic doctors in white coats in the cordon were conducting the identification of the corpse at the scene.

Manager Cheng was more lucky, his head hit the ground, his skull cracked, and his eyeballs squeezed out of his sockets, and the ground was full of projectiles mixed with plasma and brain, and the scene was extremely bloody!

"That's not right!" Tang Tian suddenly slapped his thigh, under normal circumstances, people who jump off the building are right with their heads hitting the ground first! Because the upper body of human beings is heavier than the lower body, so if they fall from the building unconsciously, or when they have made up their minds to die, they will hit the ground with their heads first, but the previous Taoist priest landed with his legs first!

Even according to what Manager Cheng said before, the three deceased who jumped off the building did not die directly, but died after being sent to the hospital for rescue. This also illustrates a problem, when the three people jumped off the building, they also landed with their legs first!

"When did this happen?" Tang Tian realized the seriousness of the problem, and as soon as he saw Qu Liuqiao, he opened his mouth to ask.

"Ten minutes before I called you, before he jumped off the building, I called my room once with the front desk phone of the hotel, but I was taking a bath, the sound of the water was too loud and I didn't hear it, and when I came out of the shower, I heard someone screaming outside the building, and someone was shouting to call the police. Qu Liuqiao said this, her expression was very serious, she had now completely believed Tang Tian's inference.

"How do you know that the call was made by him?" Tang Tian was a little puzzled, this didn't make sense logically.

"Just now, the police called up the surveillance and found that he used the internal phone at the front desk to broadcast the number once before jumping off the building, but it was not connected, so they investigated the dialing record. Speaking of this, Qu Liuwan looked a little self-reproachful, "If I hadn't taken a bath, maybe I could save him!"

Tang Tian didn't know what to say, there weren't so many things like this, what Qu Liuqiao missed was not just a phone call, it was very likely that it was the truth that the three people jumped off the building before!

"Don't blame yourself, maybe it's not because the water is too loud, but the phone in your room isn't ringing at all!" Tang Tian said as he turned his head and walked into the bathroom of the weak room, turning on the bath sprinkler to turn on the water flow to the maximum.

After Tang Tian did this, he closed the door of the bathroom, and with a puzzled expression on his face, he took out his mobile phone and dialed the front desk of the hotel, and then asked the front desk to transfer to room 402.

Soon, the phone ringing in the room, Tang Tian pouted at the bathroom, Qu Liuruo immediately understood, she hurriedly opened the bathroom door and walked in, and after she closed the door again, the phone ringing at the bedside was still clear in the bathroom!

"Quick! Notify the police downstairs and let them control all the employees in the hotel who have access to the landline phone line in the shortest possible time!" Tang Tian immediately made a decision, in a sense, the death of the hotel manager is an opportunity, an opportunity for the murderer to be exposed faster!

After receiving the information provided by Tang Tian and the others, the task force immediately began to investigate the hotel staff, but they were still a step late, and at the same time as the investigation was underway, a figure jumped down from the position where the hotel manager jumped off the building again.

After this figure fell, the already messy ground became even more bloody, and like Manager Cheng, this employee also hit the ground with his head first, and the plasma mixed with the brain burst out, causing extreme discomfort.

"Yes, there is no need to check now!" Tang Tian spread his hands and was speechless, so that the line he had just discovered was broken again.

"It seems that there is no doubt that it is indeed a meridian meeting! Only they will cut off all the clues in such a short period of time, one step ahead of us!" Qu Liuwan also showed bitterness, thinking that he could catch a big fish, but he didn't expect that the line would be disconnected before the fish was raised to the surface.

"But it can't be said that there is no gain!" Tang Tian was not discouraged, he felt that the death of this employee did not mean that the investigation was over, but made Tang Tian feel that his trip to Lingshan Town had inadvertently touched the sore spot of the meridian meeting!

According to the completely different ways of falling of Manager Cheng and the other three deceased, it is very likely that the other three deceased jumped from the building out of a hypnotized state, but when they were in a suspended state, the consciousness of human self-protection was awakened, and they involuntarily curled up in a ball, or struggled indiscriminately, which led to the fact that they did not hit the ground with their heads first and took them away directly in a wave like Manager Cheng and the employee.

And this also means that Manager Cheng's death was very hasty, and even made Manager Cheng aware of it before he died, so he called Qu Liuqiao's room for help, but unfortunately he was discovered by the members of the Meridian Club hidden in the hotel and cut off or transferred his call in time.

In order to prevent Manager Cheng from calling the police for help, the Meridian Club decided to implement the extermination plan in advance, and the member who was originally responsible for hypnotic killing could not rush back in time because of some things, so the employee was arranged to commit murder.

Later, when the police began to investigate the hotel employee, the employee was killed by other members who rushed back in time, and the line was broken.

After deducing such a process, Tang Tian discovered more questions, what did Manager Cheng know that led to the extermination? What was the motive of the Meridian Society for killing the three dead before? What is the connection between the innocent Taoist priest who fell from the building last night and the Meridian Society?

Thinking of this, Tang Tian suddenly realized that this line was not completely broken! The style of the Meridian Society was that every time he killed someone, he had one purpose or another, if those two Taoist priests were just coming to the hotel to do things, there was no need for the Meridian Society to cut him!

"Quick! Let's go to the hospital! That Taoist priest may be in danger!" Tang Tian didn't have time to explain too much to Qu Liuqiao, grabbed the car keys, pulled Qu Liuqiao and ran to the parking lot.

Fortunately, there is not much traffic in the town, and in the middle of the night, there are few people on the road, Tang Tian rushed to the hospital at a speed of 12 hours the whole way, and he didn't care about hiding his identity and other things, so he directly took out his documents and asked the hospital to cooperate with his investigation.

The nurse who was in charge of guiding the patients in the hospital hall saw that it was a policeman from Angang City, and the words Special Incident Investigation Bureau were written on the certificate, and she immediately felt that the atmosphere became tense, and without too much nonsense, she directly trotted all the way to the ward where the Taoist priest was.

But when the nurse pushed open the door of the ward, she looked at the two empty beds inside, and was stunned on the spot.

"Impossible! He was still there when he was on shift at night!" The nurse hurriedly turned red, and gestured with both hands to explain to Tang Tian and the others, "I really didn't lie to you! There are not many nurses in our hospital, so the ward rounds at night are all rotated, and I was in charge of this row of wards at that time, the wounded man was on this bed at that time, and his friend was still sitting on the opposite bed smoking, and I said he came!"
