Chapter 13 No such number

It's rare to have such a minimalist style in a café that opens in a bustling place.

Although the coffee is not delicious, it is unique because of the owner's eye for selecting coffee beans, and it is a place worth visiting again.

When Mars walked out of the café called "Green", there was a commotion not far away. A middle-aged man dressed in black rushed into the crowd like crazy, and was then grabbed by several athletic men and pushed to the ground. The crowd grew and could no longer see what was happening, and after a few minutes, the man was crossed and stepped out of the crowd.

On his hands, he wears a pair of handcuffs.

The people around them stopped and watched the scene from afar, whispering and guessing what was going on. Mars was expressionless, and watched indifferently as the man was escorted into a police car.

"Do you believe that time will stand still?" Ding Dong's words suddenly sounded in his ears, and a cold smile appeared on the corners of Mars's lips.

"That kind of thing, even if it happens, will only be in hell. ”

Mars muttered to himself indifferently and turned and walked towards his car.

The shrill chirping of police cars attracted the attention of Ding Dong, who was enjoying a sandwich. But she had always been uninterested in the outside world, and she just glanced at it, and then turned her attention to food again.

Mars paid when he left, which was nice.

Ding Dong thought that she should order another sandwich to pack.

But...... What's going on with this dinner knife?

Ding Dong's gaze once again fell on the dining knife.

Maybe we should find out why it was the way it is......? Who is she looking for?

It's a weird thing anyway, right?

Ding Dong thought helplessly.

She didn't know how to explain it to anyone.

****

Ding Dong didn't expect Kevin to come to the housekeeping office to find him, and when he knocked on the office door, Ding Dong and Xiao Jiang, who were napping in their coats, thought that the manager on duty was coming to patrol the night, so they were so frightened that they hurriedly stuffed their coats into the filing cabinet.

"You just stand there and don't move. Xiao Jiang commanded Ding Dong and said, "The front desk manager Connie is the most proficient, maybe she will open the cabinet to check." ”

Thinking of Connie's face when dealing with the guest letter complaint in room 1408, Ding Dong had no doubt that she would open the cabinet to check. So she stood in front of the cabinet and nodded to Xiao Jiang.

Xiao Jiang took a deep breath, opened the office door with an open expression.

"Hi. Outside the door was Kevin's smiling face.

Xiao Jiang was stunned, and two seconds later, she screamed and slammed the door shut.

"What's wrong?" Ding Dong was surprised, but Xiao Jiang ran over and squeezed Ding Dong's arm tightly.

"Kevin, Kevin!It's Kevin!" she said nervously, "Kevin is here!"

As she spoke, she jerked open the drawer and rummaged through it.

"It's not Connie, what are you flustered about?" Monk Ding Dong was puzzled.

"This is more panicked than Connie!" Xiao Jiang glared at Ding Dong viciously and continued to rummage, "Lipstick, where is my lipstick?"

Just as she swirled her mouth red in delight, the door was cautiously opened.

Xiao Jiang quickly hid the lipstick behind him.

Kevin leaned into his upper body and smiled politely, "Don't worry, I'm not here to patrol the night, I'm looking for Ding Dong." ”

"Looking for me?" Ding Dong looked stunned.

Ding Dong walked out of the office with Kevin and into the corridor.

"I'm sorry to surprise you, don't you? However, I don't have any other way to contact you, so I can only go to the office to find you. Kevin said apologetically.

"Ah, that's okay. Ding Dong hurriedly shook his head,

"Why don't we add WeChat?" Kevin said, pulling out his phone.

There seems to be no reason not to add WeChat, and remembering Xiao Jiang's disappointed expression just now, Ding Dong also felt that Kevin's behavior of rushing to the housekeeping office was not appropriate.

"Okay, you can sweep me. Ding Dong said and took out his mobile phone.

In fact, Kevin came to Ding Dong to tell her about the phone call on Tuesday night.

"Here's a transcript of all the phone calls from 12 a.m. to 8 a.m. the next morning, see if that can help you. Kevin said, handing a printed phone record to Ding Dong.

"Wow, thank you. Ding Dong didn't expect Kevin to be so thoughtful, and printed out all the phone records from zero to the next morning, which moved and surprised her.

"You're welcome. Kevin laughed, "We're friends." ”

Friend?

Ding Dong had a little surprise, she looked up at Kevin, and blamed the lights in the corridor for being too bright, which illuminated Kevin's already flushed face, which made Ding Dong couldn't help but feel embarrassed.

"Ha, it's also my honor to have such a buddy as you. ”

Ding Dong couldn't think of a way to resolve this embarrassing situation, so he could only express her openness in the way of a female man. She smiled and raised her hand to slap Kevin's shoulder, I don't know if it was too much force, Kevin's face seemed to be a little pale.

"Thank you!" Ding Dong shook the phone record in his hand, Kevin nodded and smiled at Ding Dong with a pale face. It's a pity that Ding Dong didn't see his forced smile, just turned around and walked briskly towards the office.

Fortunately, Xiao Jiang had already been called to serve the customer, and Ding Dong was able to sit quietly and check the phone records.

Of course, her main focus was around 24 o'clock, and there was not a single call from room 1414 except for calls from guests in other rooms.

Strange, how is that possible?

Obviously, the switchboard received a call from the customer service, and then notified himself!

The phone call record was in a small font, and Ding Dong rubbed his eyes in disbelief and carefully reviewed the call log from beginning to end.

"Ah, I see!"

At this time at 24:24, there was indeed a call to the switchboard.

Strangely, however, the caller ID for that call reads "No such number".

In general, one of the situations that everyone would agree to is: "curiosity kills cats".

But no one ever cared why cats were curious, and what caused them to be curious.

Ding Dong is a curious cat now, what she wants to know is the phone call in room 1414, what is going on.

She asks Julie about this. Perhaps Ding Dong was lucky enough to ask this question when Julie was in a good mood while she was having breakfast in the staff cafeteria. Julie put a spoonful of porridge in her mouth and swallowed it.

"How can there be no caller ID? All the phones in the hotel have caller ID!"

Julie has a baby face, and although she is five years older than Ding Dong, her faster speech speed than the average person, and her curly hair make her look much younger than her actual age.

"Won't there be any other situation, such as 'no such number'?" Ding Dong asked unrelentingly.

"'No such number'?" Julie paused, then shook her head, "Unlikely." ”

As she spoke, she picked up a small custard steamed bun and ate it.

Appetite is really good.

Ding Dong sat here and watched Julie finish a bowl of porridge, a portion of fried noodles, and half a plate of vegetables. The hotel's staff restaurant has a wide variety of dishes, and it is served in a buffet style, so that many people have gained a lot of weight after coming. Julie was clearly one of those people, as evidenced by her almost unbuttoned uniform.

Since there was no gain, Ding Dong didn't plan to sit here anymore and watch Julie continue to eat, she picked up her plate and prepared to leave.

"Oh, yes. Julie suddenly looked up as if she remembered something, "There will also be a situation where there is no caller ID." ”

"Oh?" Ding Dong's eyes lit up.

"Confidential call. Julie said, "Only the official ones use the number secrecy privilege, you know." However, our hotel operates legally, and this is rarely the case. ”

Official?

It took Ding Dong a few seconds to realize what the official privilege was, but the fact was that the hotel was operating legally as Julie said, and it was unlikely that he would receive such a call.

So, what is the "no such number"?

Ding Dong couldn't think of it.

Since she couldn't think of it, she gave up.

Anyway, whether it's the dinner knife that has turned black, or the phone in room 1414 that says "no such number", it has nothing to do with her life, does it?

After staying up all night, Ding Dong was already very tired. But the thoughts and entanglements of "no such number" made it difficult for her to fall asleep for a while. So she swiped her phone in a rare way.

Ding Dong has few friends on WeChat, and she is not very interested in what others show on Moments. After a few glances, Ding Dong turned his attention to the news.

The headline of the local news in S City was the news of the arrest of a drug dealer, and Ding Dong casually glanced at it and clicked "X". She was about to browse the next piece of news, but suddenly as if she remembered something, she reopened the news about the arrest of drug dealers.

The photo at the top of the news is the moment when the drug dealer is handcuffed and escorted into a police car. Although his face was mosaic, Ding Dong still recognized him at a glance.

- Guest of 1408.

And that street, because the photographer is on the left side of the drug dealer, can directly include the street across the road into the shot.

The shot clearly shows a café with a simple and even cold decoration, and the green English "GREEN" is as vivid as a vibrant green plant.

Ding Dong remembered that when Mars walked out of the café, the riot on the opposite street and the man who was taken into the police car, the shattered picture appeared in front of him vividly, and was completely connected by this news.

"It's you, right?" Ding Dong picked up his phone and sent Mars this message, "You 'sent' that guy to the police, right?"

Mars quickly replied to the message: "If you don't see through it, you can still be friends." ”

Friend?

Ding Dong secretly said "hehe" in his heart and threw the phone aside.

The ghost believes in Mars's "friend", but there are so many people who recognize her as a friend, Kevin is, and Mars is actually too.

Thinking of Kevin, Ding Dong suddenly remembered that on the day of the 1408 guest complaint, Kevin also said that he would call the police. But in the end, he chose to remain silent. And Mars, the guy who was so indifferent that even the destruction of the world had nothing to do with him, he actually did it.

Ding Dong smiled.

She picked up her phone again and replied to Mars with a message: "I respect you for being a warrior. ”
