Chapter 44: The Phantom of the Haunted House (1)
In a car on Main Avenue in Los Angeles, Lee said the last sentence into the phone: "Thank you very much, Alfred, if you have time, you can come to Chicago as a guest, we have brought you some small gifts from the far east, I believe you will like it, okay, I will be careful, rest assured." ”
After hanging up the phone, he said to David, who was sitting opposite: "David, don't go to this operation, if the enemy here is the one I am worried about, then it is not something you can deal with." ”
"But if you two are too dangerous." David, a good old man, looked at Lee with concern, especially John, who was as eager as a monkey next to him, which made him feel even more uneasy.
"It's okay, trust me, John is the best person for this operation." While talking, the two of them had already opened the door and walked out, Li thought of something, stopped and turned back and said, "By the way, you'd better say hello to the Los Angeles Police Department and the Fire Department, I'm afraid, we can't guarantee the integrity of the building after the incident is completed." Then he followed John to the Cecil Hotel.
After hearing this, David couldn't help but wail in his heart, Li, you don't have to make so much noise every time you go to a place, you are also indispensable in the news in Tokyo two days ago, oh my God, I hope you will only demolish this building this time, and don't tear down the entire street.
Pushing open the door of the hotel's gold package and entering the lobby, the two were immediately attracted by the hotel's lighting and decoration. The newly renovated hotel lobby looks resplendent with gold. The brass foyer and marble floors accentuate the gold-toned décor. At first glance, the hotel has the feel of a movie scene from the 40s of the 20th century.
John whistled, "Wow, I didn't expect to find such a good hotel for this price, with a good location and good décor, and your vision is as good as ever, Steve." ”
"Of course, John, this is the best value for money I've picked out of dozens of hotels, right next to the Seventh Avenue subway station and just one stop from Staples Arena. On the west side of the hotel, there are plenty of clubs, bars and restaurants along Spring Avenue and Seventh Avenue. The hotel also has a café and a free continental breakfast is served every morning in the breakfast area. Trust me, we're going to have a memorable graduation trip. Lee nudged the black-rimmed glasses he used to disguise, showing off like a nerd.
John came to the front desk, where the same old woman was still there.
"Hey, Auntie, we have an appointment before, John and Steve, help us take a look."
"Okay, please wait." The old woman did not make a statement to John's rude call, and looked down to check the record carefully.
"Congratulations on room 1304, the lighting is very good and you can see the beautiful view. This is your key, and the elevator is over there. The old woman took an old-fashioned key from the key holder behind her and handed it to them.
Li frowned: "Don't you have a sensor door card?" ”
"The locks in the hotel are all mechanical locks, and there are no inductive key cards." The old woman replied blandly.
"Forget it, let's go, Steve, maybe that's what this hotel is all about, what a retro design." John walked towards the elevator with a heartless face. Lee shook his head like a good friend, and followed with a salute.
Watching the two of them enter the elevator, the old woman picked up the phone at hand again, "Hey, madam, there are two of your favorite prey living in, yes, it's still that room." ”
The old woman hung up the phone, and a strange smile appeared on her face again: "You will definitely have an unforgettable graduation trip." ”
As soon as she had finished speaking, the door opened again, and the old woman looked up to see a tall man, about 30 to 40 years old, with a thick beard that was a little indistinguishable. He was wearing an earthy yellow leather jacket, but the wear on the leather jacket made people wonder if it was the original color of the clothes, or because it was too tightly worn. An equally old pair of jeans had holes in it, revealing a few leg hairs, and as he walked, dirt from his old leather boots kept falling onto the marble floor.
"Are there any rooms available?" The deep voice and the thick chest hair on her chest made the old woman dizzy.
Knock, he knocked on the countertop, waking up the old woman who had been staring at his chest.
"Oh, yes, yes." The old woman came back to her senses, "50 yuan a night." ”
"Okay, open me a room."
"1311, here's the key."
"Thank you." Dahan took the key and turned to walk towards the elevator room, only to find that the old woman was carrying a large instrument box on his back, which from the appearance seemed to be a cello or something.
Oh, it looks like he's still an artist, and it seems that there is a delicate heart hidden under his rough exterior. The old woman was lustful in her heart, and her whole body seemed to be rejuvenated, and a tingling sensation like electricity traveled all over her body. She secretly rejoiced in her heart, after waiting for so long, she finally came to a dish that suited her taste, and some of it was cool these days.
Ding, the elevator door opened, and Lee and John stepped out of the elevator, immediately shocked by the sight in front of them, except for the cheap marble on the ground, there was no place to connect with the luxurious lobby downstairs. The corridor is narrow and dark, the gray-blue walls are repeatedly painted, and the public baths and toilets are not the rooms, but the public baths and toilets, facing the elevator, which is a bit strange for a hotel with a luxurious lobby.
When the two of them came to the room, it was a different scene, the clean and tidy room was painted with milky white paint, the two standard single beds were covered with white quilts, the opposite of the bed was a wall-mounted flat-screen TV, and the small sculptures on the table and the oil paintings hanging on the wall added a bit of artistic atmosphere to the whole room.
"Wow, the owner of this hotel is so strange, how can the interior and exterior of the house be so different in decoration style? Such a room is only 50 a night, which is too good value. Oh, and I can't even think of this soft bed. John threw himself on the bed in large letters, intoxicated.
Li lifted his glasses and said, "I just said that you have to trust my judgment, this is a hotel I have carefully selected, how can there be a problem." ”
At this time, in the monitor of one of the rooms in this hotel, the picture of the two of them is playing, looking at the shooting angle, the camera is directly opposite their bed, and there is also a sound coming.
A lazy and sexy voice sounded in the recliner in the room, "Well, these two goods are of good quality, and the later one will be rewarded to you." ”
"Thank you, ma'am." Standing behind the recliner and talking was the old woman at the front desk, at this time she completely lost the old feeling in the counter, and her whole face smiled like a chrysanthemum.
The big man lying on the 1311 bed suddenly felt a chill all over his body, he looked at the dripping water droplets in the corner of the ceiling, and pulled the leather coat tight. The room directly opposite 1304 is still very much in line with the price of 50 US dollars, the leaky ceiling, the old wallpaper that seems to have not been changed since the hotel was built, and the broken electric fan with a light bulb on the roof, so that Dahan did not feel a trace of abnormality.
