Chapter 51: Strange Things Keep Happening
When Li Mu opened the door, the middle-aged female boss standing at the door seemed to be taken aback, probably not expecting the door to be opened suddenly.
"What are you running to my door for?" Li Mu still kept the door in a state of a gap, not daring to open it all, his right hand held the axe behind his back more tightly, and his eyes stared at the middle-aged female boss vigilantly.
To be honest, at the beginning, he was a little suspicious that the female boss was a murderer, and she used a kitchen knife to kill fish in the middle of the night, which was a little unbelievable.
In addition, I just searched for "Fugui Hotel" on the Internet.
Knowing that the middle-aged female boss had sleepwalking syndrome and had broken her husband into pieces when she was sick, she felt more and more suspicious in her heart.
"Did you hit my dog just now?" the middle-aged female boss came back to her senses and viciously waved the bloody kitchen knife in her right hand at Li Mu.
"Why do you say it's me?" Li Mu was startled.
"Hmph, except for you who don't understand the rules of my hotel, all the other travelers have stayed here for at least a month, and they will never dare to beat my dog. The middle-aged female boss snorted coldly.
Travelers in other rooms have stayed here for at least a month?
Why didn't they leave?
Is it just because the room is cheap?
"Not me. Li Mu denied it.
"Really?" the middle-aged female boss stared at Li Mu with her eyes.
"Really. Li Mu nodded.
The female boss was stunned for a moment, shaking the flashlight in her left hand, and her tone was very unkind:
"Then you go to sleep, don't wander around at night, the lights in the corridor and hall outside have been turned off, be careful of falling to death!"
"Did you hear the voice of a woman shouting for help just now?" Li Mu thought that when he heard the voice of a woman shouting for help outside, the middle-aged female boss must have heard it too.
"No!" replied the landlady without hesitation, her expression looking somewhat unnatural.
Before Li Mu could continue to speak, the middle-aged female boss turned around and walked to room 209 opposite.
Li Mu did not close the door, but hid behind the crack in the door and watched.
Knock knock!
The female boss was aggressive, carrying a bloody kitchen knife in her right hand, and knocking on the door of 209 with her left hand.
Nowadays, many people have dogs and cats, and they regard these pets as more precious than their own sons, dress them better than people, and eat better than people.
Crunch.
The door to 209's room was opened.
Out of the room came a middle-aged man, about forty years old, wearing a black peaked cap on his head.
"Is there something wrong?" the middle-aged man glanced at the female boss.
"Did you hit my dog?" the female boss stared at the middle-aged man.
"Xiuying, how could I beat your dog, I remember the first day of check-in, you specifically told you that your dog likes to run around, you can drive it away, but you must not hurt it, I have always remembered it. The middle-aged man affectionately addressed the female boss.
"Please be respectful. The female boss looked at the middle-aged man angrily.
"Xiuying, I've lived alone for more than half a year in this 209, don't you still understand my heart for you?" The middle-aged man looked at the female boss affectionately.
The female boss glanced at the middle-aged man with disdain, turned around and walked to the door of room 207 next to her, still knocking vigorously on the door.
Li Mu felt that even if this middle-aged female boss was not a murderer, she was also a person with a brain problem.
A dog was just beaten and not killed.
Is it worth carrying a bloody kitchen knife in the middle of the night, knocking on the door one by one to ask for guilt?
And as a hotel owner, you are not afraid of offending the guests, and you will have no business in the future?
Normal people really can't do this kind of thing.
Then.
The door to room 207 opened.
A woman in her twenties walked out.
Li Mu recognized it at a glance, wasn't this the woman who rushed out of room 209 when he just went upstairs to open the door?
So it seems.
The young woman who lives in room 207 and the middle-aged man who lives in room 209 are very likely to know each other, and even have an unusual relationship!
"Sao = cheap = lang, did you hit my dog?" The female boss stared at the young woman very unhappily, and the bloody knife in her hand was clenched tightly.
However, young women don't seem to be afraid of female bosses:
"Please speak with respect, although I live in your store, I pay on time, we are an equal cooperative relationship, if you scold people like this, I will call the police!"
"It's good to call the police, don't even think about living if you call the police!" the female boss suddenly yelled with emotion.
"Xiuying, Xiuying, it's such a big night, don't wake up the other guests, Wang Li won't beat the dog. The middle-aged man hurriedly walked over to relieve the siege.
The female boss glanced at the middle-aged man fiercely, walked to the door of 208, and still knocked hard.
The middle-aged man and the young woman named Wang Li looked at each other as if they were exchanging something, and then they both returned to their rooms and closed the door.
"Why did the female boss say that if you call the police, everyone won't want to live?" Li Mu hid behind the crack in the door, feeling that this was very suspicious.
The door to room 208, where the old couple lived, opened.
What was shocking was that a wheelchair rolled out of the door, and the person sitting in the wheelchair turned out to be an old woman.
According to Li Mu's previous analysis and judgment, there are all kinds of signs that the old woman has been killed by the old man.
Can......
But the old woman has now appeared alive again.
The more he thought about it, the more suspicious he felt.
Even if she made a mistake in judgment, the old woman was not killed by the old man.
But when I went in just now, it was clear that the old woman had already fallen asleep in bed, and it took less than five minutes to wake up?
And obviously the old woman is inconvenient to move, why doesn't the old man open the door and come out?
The landlady asked the old woman if she had beaten her dog.
After the old woman denied it, the female boss was ready to knock on the door of 205.
"It's on fire, it's on fire! Everyone, come to the first floor to put out the fire!"
Suddenly.
A child's scream rang out from downstairs.
The female boss rushed downstairs as soon as possible.
Immediately after, there was the sound of doors opening in other rooms.
Crackling footsteps sounded, and there were people on the second floor running quickly to the first floor.
How can it catch fire for no reason?
Is the murderer on the move?
Indeed, it is much easier and faster to burn everyone here with a fire than to kill them one by one.
Especially if someone is stronger or stronger than a murderer, the murderer will not only not be able to kill the person successfully, but will immediately alarm the others.
When the time comes, if you want to kill the rest of the people, it will be difficult!
Skimming the axe on his waist, Li Mu was also ready to go out to have a look.
Just now he always had an idea in his heart that could confirm who was a murderer, but if he didn't see everyone at once, even if he used this method, he still couldn't judge accurately.
Now that there is a fire downstairs, the people who live in the various rooms will definitely run out to take a look, after all, they will be afraid that the fire will spread and burn themselves to death.
Li Mu opened the door and walked out.
Lighting with a mobile phone flashlight, it was already 12:15 p.m., and the lights in the hotel lobby and the corridor on the second floor were turned off.
As soon as I walked to the door of room 208, the door opened.
He subconsciously glanced inside room 208.
I couldn't help but be stunned, because except for the old man who walked to the door, there was no old woman in the room, whether it was on the bed or anywhere else......
