Chapter 4: The Spooky Inn

Generally speaking, the most hidden, or the most special, must be the big guy.

This red bug, surrounded and protected by a crowd of black bugs, is destined to be extraordinary!

Forensic Doctor Xiao stepped forward and poked his finger lightly with a scalpel. Bright red blood dripped down his fingertips, and it just happened to drip right on the red bug.

The red color on the insect began to fade slowly, and eventually, it turned into a transparent color. On the back, transparent wings are also born. Only a pair of protruding eyes were blood-red, which looked even more abrupt and weird.

Forensic Doctor Xiao was not afraid, glanced at it coldly, and said sharply: "You tell her, if you dare to mess around again, don't blame me for being polite." ”

He's talking to bugs? I frowned, and I felt more and more that the forensic doctor Xiao in front of me was not simple.

Probably frightened by the chill in his eyes, the insect stepped back a little, and with a wave of its wings, it flew out of the office. After it left, the black bugs immediately turned into a pool of black blood, emitting a thick stench that filled the interrogation room.

"Who the hell is this?" A middle-aged patrolman in his forties frowned and asked, but his hand was covering his nose and refusing to let go for a moment.

Forensic Doctor Xiao didn't answer him, pointed to the ground and said, "Let's deal with this first, and then transport the corpse on the ground to the forensic doctor's office for me." ”

With that, he strode out of the interrogation room, as if everything that happened here had nothing to do with him.

"This forensic doctor Xiao is really cold-blooded as always, and he didn't react at all when he saw his colleague die."

The middle-aged patrol man sighed, looking at the dried corpse on the ground and sighing.

Seeing a life gone in front of me like this, I felt uncomfortable.

My intuition tells me that this person's death is inseparable from the person who pretended to be Xie Lanlan.

But what's going on with these bugs? How could I vomit such a disgusting thing?

The conversation was almost the same, and when something like this happened, everyone didn't have time to pay attention to me, so the patrol asked me to go back first, and then let me know if there was anything.

After walking a long way out of the door, I saw the building of the medical examiner's office. From here to the patrol hall, it's a few hundred meters away. From the time I sent out a cry for help to the time Forensic Doctor Xiao appeared, but in just a few seconds, how did he do it?

So many weird things happened all at once, and my mind was a mess. On the way back to school by taxi, I sent messages to both Zhang Qian and Yao Jiawen, telling them the news of Xie Lanlan's death. Neither of them replied to me, at this point in time, it should be sleeping.

When I returned to school, I found that the dormitory had been locked down, and I couldn't get in at all.

Aunt Wang also felt sorry for me, so she asked me to go to her dormitory and sleep with her.

Actually, I couldn't sleep at all, but I was quite tired, so I stayed.

In my head, the events of the day kept flashing, and I finally fell asleep when it was almost dawn.

It didn't take long for me to wake up with the sound of a phone. It was Zhang Qian who called, even if I explained it repeatedly, she couldn't accept the fact that Xie Lanlan was dead. In fact, I can't accept that the person who was alive two days ago has become a cold corpse at the moment, and his death is still so miserable.

For some reason, the three wounds on Xie Lanlan's face suddenly flashed in front of me.

The sigil is very much like ...... Cat-scratched.

Don't...... Something to do with that black cat?!

Hanging up the phone, I looked in the mirror and looked at the mark on my neck, and it was a little more than yesterday.

Is this a countdown? When the two cat's paw prints are fully revealed, will the black cat come to the door?

Judging by the speed with which this mark appears, I have seven days left.

I don't understand anything myself, so I can only wait for my grandfather to come.

Early in the morning, the patrol bureau came to monitor it. I was in Aunt Wang's dormitory, and I could see it clearly. It was true that a woman in white clothes entered the dormitory, and indeed entered our dormitory. But her face is very blurry, and even after technical treatment, she can't see clearly.

"It's strange, if you look at other places in the surveillance, you can see the faces of the students who come in and out clearly, even the acne on the face, why is this woman's face blurred like a mosaic?"

And why! She must have done it!

I've seen how powerful that person is, and such a small action is probably easy for her.

After watching the monitoring several times and finding nothing, the patrol could only pour the monitoring content into his own computer and take it back to the patrol bureau for analysis.

I wasn't in the mood to work part-time anymore, so I asked my boss for leave.

At noon, Zhang Qian went back to school. Usually she has a good relationship with Xie Lanlan, and her eyes are red. Later, Yao Jiawen also returned. When something like this happened, where was she still in the mood to travel, she bought a ticket and came back directly.

It's just that the dormitory is now used as a murder scene, and we can't get in, so the three of them can only nest in Aunt Wang's dormitory. The already small space is becoming more and more crowded.

Fortunately, it didn't take long for the head of the department to come and say that she had vacated her family room for us to live in. It's just that it takes a few days to clean up, let's stay in a hotel for two days first, and the school will reimburse the expenses.

The three of us are actually people who don't have any requirements for life, but I didn't expect that the head of the department would really do anything in order to save money.

We took the map and searched for a long time, and finally found the hotel behind a remote and unfinished building.

Yunxi Hotel. It's a very old little duplex and it should be some years old. In particular, the signboard was crumbling in the wind, and it felt like it could fall down and hit people at any time.

"This hotel is too broken, isn't it?" Zhang Qian frowned and muttered, "Why don't we find a place to live by ourselves." ”

"You don't look at the prime location of our school, any hotel, it will cost two or three hundred and one nights. If we change places, the school will definitely not report to us, and now we don't know how long we will live outside, so we can't spend all the money on living. ”

The three of us are not rich people, and after thinking about it, we gritted our teeth and decided to live here.

When I entered the hotel, there was an old man in his seventies sitting at the front desk. It's not just why, the light in the hotel is very dim, but the old man is wearing a pair of sunglasses, which looks really weird.

"Does the little girl want accommodation?" The old man opened his mouth, his voice hoarse as if it had been squeezed out of his throat.

"We are students of Huainan Medical University, may I ask if our leaders have booked a room here?" I asked.

"Yes, yes, I booked a room, I'll take you there."

The old man stood up as he spoke, and walked forward with his body bent.

The three of us looked at each other, the corners of our mouths twitching slightly.

Three people live in one room, which is really worthy of our famous department head!

This hotel is really very broken. Although it is clean and tidy, from the decoration to the facilities, it is dilapidated. Even the lights in the hallway were flickering and flickering.

Obviously there are walls on all sides, but I always feel that the wind is pouring in from nowhere, and it is eerie.

"How do I think it's a bit like a haunted house in a horror movie?" Yao Jiawen was timid, swallowing nervously as she shrank towards me.

Don't say it, when she mutters like this, I feel like it. Plus that weird old man, my heart is really a little hairy.

The old man walked in the front, his movements stiff and mechanical. I was closest to him, and I could vaguely smell a foul smell coming from him.

I'm a medical student, so I'm familiar with this taste.

It's the smell of corpses!

I grabbed Zhang Qian and Yao Jiawen and said in a low voice, "Do you smell anything strange about this old man?" I always felt the smell of corpses on him. ”

The two of them sniffed twice in unison, then shook their heads.

"How so? How could you not smell it so obviously? I frowned.

"Is it Lanlan's matter that has made you have a shadow in your psyche, no matter how good you smell it, there really isn't." The two said categorically.

I had to smell it again and find that it was really gone. Thinking it was too far away from the old man, I got closer and smelled it, but I still didn't smell it.

Is it really my delusion?

Puzzled to the end of the hallway, the old man opened the door to his room.

A room of about ten square meters, except for a bed, there is nothing.

Now, we, who have been bearing the burden of humiliation, really can't hold it back. Zhang Qian took out her mobile phone and called the head of the department directly.

"What the hell do you mean, Director? Arrange for us to live in such a dilapidated hotel, and three people live in one room, and there is only one bed of one meter five, how do you let us sleep?! If you are like this, we can only reflect it to the dean. ”

We all know in our hearts that in the event of a homicide, the hospital will definitely try to suppress the matter as much as possible, otherwise it will not be beneficial to the future enrollment if the matter becomes bigger. There is absolutely no ambiguity about what can be solved with money, how can it be squeezed to such a point. Apparently, the head of the department deducted money from it.

The head of the department estimated that he was weak-hearted, and pretended to be surprised: "How come? Didn't I open three rooms? It must have been the boss who heard it wrong. You open two more, two more. ”

After the old man settled Zhang Qian and Yao Jiawen, he took me to the second floor.

"Aren't there so many rooms on the first floor?" I asked, confused.

"It's full."

Everyone said so, I couldn't knock on it from room to room, so I could only follow the old man to the second floor.

The old man's figure swayed, and even I felt his bones creaking as he walked. To be honest, I'm afraid he's falling apart.

There were more than thirty stairs, and the old man walked for more than a minute.

I finally went up to the second floor, and to my surprise, there were two rooms on the second floor, one on the left and one on the right.

Compared to the downstairs room, it is more than a little bigger, and I don't know what the inside of the room looks like. Could it be that this dilapidated hotel also has the legendary VIP room?

"Is this room expensive?" I asked the old man curtly. If I had to make up the difference, I wouldn't be able to afford it, so I'd rather go down and spend the night with them.

"Same price." The old man handed me the key, pointed to the room opposite, and said sharply, "Remember, don't enter this room." ”

After the old man finished speaking, he went downstairs.

I looked at the opposite room, and I was actually a little curious. This old man is really, don't tell me if you don't let me in, don't you know that curiosity will kill cats?

Curious, I honestly went into my room.

The room wasn't very luxurious, but it was big and quaint.

The bed, wardrobe, and desk are all mahogany. Judging from the style, it looks like the room where everyone used to be beautiful.

And for some reason, it always feels inexplicably familiar to me. It always feels like when I've been to this place.

After washing up, I was about to go to bed, and I vaguely heard a man calling my name.

"Ah Jiu, Ah Jiu ......"

With every shout, I felt my heart tighten a little.

I woke up clutching my chest, and the sound stopped. But I could feel that it wasn't a hallucination. Even though I could make out it clearly, it was coming from the opposite room.

Others have always called me Xiao Jiu, and this is the first time I've heard the title Ah Jiu.

I took the old man's words to heart, but I did not dare to act rashly.

Just as I was about to go back to sleep as if nothing had happened, there was a creak and the door on the opposite side opened.
