Chapter Thirty-Nine: The Late Night Doorbell
The small hotels near the bus station are very inconspicuous, there are almost no eye-catching signboards, and on the main street, they are hidden on the ground floor of a residential building after turning around, and there is a light box in front of the very inconspicuous façade, which is considered a signboard, so it is very troublesome to find.
These small hotels also have a common feature, that is, there are no particularly strict registration procedures, if the people who come to stay honestly take out their ID cards, the people in the hotel will check and register the ID number. If the people staying in the hotel can't take out the documents, saying that they don't have them, the people in the hotel won't care, and they will be fooled by registering a number of other document types that they have made up, so if you want to determine whether Su Manwen and Xie Jun have settled here, you can only rely on photos to identify them.
There is also a big problem with this kind of small hotel, that is, the flow of guests is completely polarized, there is no business to do, it is very deserted, and the business is good, I don't know how many waves of tourists to receive a day.
People come and go here, and most of the people in charge of looking at the store are members of their own families, this one is in charge of looking at the store for a while, and the one who comes over to play the substitute shift for a while, and it is even more difficult to find out if they have seen Su Manwen, many people can't remember the travelers who come and go in their store, not to mention that Su Manwen and the two of them have not lived here in the past two days at all, even if they have been here many days ago.
So the final result was that the two of them tossed in vain for an afternoon, until it was dark, dinner time had passed, and still nothing, no one said that they had seen Su Manwen, let alone seen it, and there was not even one who thought that Su Manwen and Xie Jun looked very familiar.
Such a situation that was about to return in vain made Bai Xue feel very annoyed, this was more than a long time, no valuable clues were found, just tossing made her sweat all over, her feet hurt, and the most important thing is that she still felt that her judgment might be more correct, so this chagrin was more or less mixed with the factor that she was not able to insist on her position in front of Wu Shu.
If they hold on and don't give in, maybe they have found the stay record of Su Manwen and them from the hotel!
Of course, this kind of thought she secretly slandered herself in her heart, Wu Shu's strong appearance did not give herself any room for negotiation at all, although Bai Xue did not admit that she was more or less cowardly, but at that time, even now, she still did not have the confidence and confidence that her idea would be 100% rewarding, which made her take something to argue with Wu Shu, and she had to insist on doing it according to her own proposition of seeking the near and far.
After running the small hotel around the last passenger station, not to mention dinner, it was almost time to eat supper at this time, and there was no gain, Bai Xue and Wu Shu both felt very depressed, and they didn't even want to say more, and after deciding to call it a day, Wu Shu still maintained his demeanor, and took the initiative to ask Bai Xue if he wanted to eat together, and after Bai Xue politely refused, he drove Bai Xue to the vicinity of his residence before leaving alone.
In fact, Bai Xue is not really not hungry, she has already sung the empty city plan in her stomach, but she really doesn't want to eat this meal with Wu Shu, talk to him, talk about the case at hand, it's easy to get angry without speculation, don't talk about work, Bai Xue doesn't know what else she can talk about with this senior brother.
If the two of them stared at each other across the table, it would be too embarrassing, and it was estimated that even their appetite would be affected, wouldn't that be tantamount to wasting food and torturing themselves!
Back at home, opening the door, looking at the black hole in the room, Bai Xue sighed.
Bai Xue's mother is not at home, and Bai Xue's grandmother's physical condition has not been very good in recent years, so Bai Xue's mother, who has nothing to do after retirement, simply moved to Bai Xue's grandmother to facilitate daily care of the elderly, and Bai Xue lives alone in her own home.
In fact, to put it mildly, Bai Xue's job is also quite hard, and the work and rest are very irregular, if you can be selfish, she also hopes that after a hard day, she will drag her tired body back home after work at night, there can be a lamp, a person, a bowl of hot soup and rice waiting for herself, when you open the door of the house, you will be greeted by the aroma of food, and the warmth of the family is always the most able to soothe the exhaustion and frustration in people's hearts.
But Bai Xue can't be so selfish to tie her mother to her side, when she was young in the past, because her father was busy with work, most of the time on weekdays, her own food, clothing, housing and transportation, all aspects are controlled by Bai's mother, Bai's mother put all her energy into her daughter's body, and now she has grown up, although the work is hard, after all, she is a young man, she can stand on her own, and it makes no sense to keep her mother by her side for a little selfishness, and she is not allowed to accompany and fulfill her filial piety by the old man.
Close the door, turn on the light, Bai Xue was tired of sweat all over her body, not to mention how uncomfortable, the first thing she did was to take a hot shower, wash it from head to toe, refreshing, and then change into a home T-shirt and shorts, slumped on the sofa in the living room, and didn't even bother to go to the kitchen to cook a bowl of instant noodles.
Bai Xue felt a little pain in her feet, checked it, and found that there were blisters on the soles of both feet, and when she walked and stood up, she didn't feel any pain, and now she took a shower and rested, but she felt pain.
These two blisters are really not worth it, Bai Xue lamented in her heart, even if there is a little gain, she feels a little more psychologically balanced, now she is afraid that she is only afraid of running a star-rated hotel tomorrow, if she continues to eat deflated, then Wu Shuke should have something to say, if you don't know it, you will sprinkle the fire that is holding back today in vain and sprinkle it on your head.
Dingtone ——。
A crisp doorbell rang, calling Shirayuki's attention away from his worries about the next day.
Bai Xue's first reaction was to glance at the wall clock on the wall, it was already more than ten o'clock at night, who would be looking for herself at home at this time? Usually Bai's mother is not at home, because she is busy with work, and her amateur social life is not rich, otherwise she will not be caught by relatives to visit each other, so let alone come to visit the family, there are almost no couriers and takeaways, not to mention that it is still such a time when few people go to other people's houses.
