Chapter 7: Hotel Exploration
Really? Ordinary people, heh......" Hua Yumo sighed and continued, "It's useless to say anything now, the fire has burned everything, and there is nothing left......"
Hua Yumo's eyes dimmed, and she turned to leave.
When passing by Ah Cheng's side, Ah Cheng stretched out his hand to stop her: "Wait first, it may not be over yet." ”
"What's not over? It's all burned like this, and everything is ruined! Hua Yumo said hatefully, ready to leave forcibly.
"You wait on the side, just look at it" Ah Cheng resolutely did not let Hua Yumo leave. Then, when Hua Yumo didn't plan to leave, he turned his head and whispered in my ear and asked, "Did you say before that there is a secret compartment in this house, where is it?" ”
"What's wrong in the study?" I was stunned, I didn't know what Ah Cheng was doing when he mentioned this at this time.
"Take me to see it, I seem to understand something." Ah Cheng said lightly.
Seeing this, I didn't ask much, and after saying "oh", I led him to the study.
When I entered the study, the floor was covered with charred paper and debris, and even the wooden bookcase was not spared, and the whole body was already charred. Obviously, the fire here is much worse than outside. Maybe this is where the fire came from.
But there's no need to dwell on that now.
I opened the door to the bottom of the bookcase and toggled the mechanism inside, following the previous method of accessing the materials.
The dark lattice on the wall slowly opened, just as I had seen it when I first saw it.
"There's nothing in here, what are you going to do?" I asked Ah Cheng next to me.
But Ah Cheng didn't answer me, he stared at the dark grid for a while, and then reached out and pulled it in.
With a "click" sound, Ah Cheng took out a yellowed document bag from inside.
I was amazed, I had already taken all the things in this before, how could I still have a document bag?
"Someone must have put it in later." Ah Cheng explained, and walked out with the document bag at the same time.
"Is this the material?" Ah Cheng, who walked out, threw the document bag to Hua Yumo.
Hua Yumo was stunned for a moment when she saw the yellowed document bag, and then quickly opened the file bag, took out a few sheets of paper that were also yellowed from it, and read them carefully.
The more Hua Yumo looked at it, the more excited she became: "That's it, where did you find it?" ”
"In the dark compartment, you shouldn't have looked through this room carefully." Ah Cheng said coldly, "Now, you should tell me who the man who took you away last night and the person who set fire to this place are, right?"
"The man...... I don't know, but I do know about setting fire to this place. Hua Yumo paused for a moment and asked us rhetorically, "Have you heard of the Judge of the Western Regions?" ”
Ah Cheng and I looked at each other for a moment, and nodded at her at the same time.
"I've heard about it, and I've dealt with it. So this information is about kyanite glass boxes?" I asked.
Hua Yumo shook her head: "This? No, it's a document about ghost markets. ”
"No, you know the kyanite glass box, why did you give us a fake before? Also, I had a six-finger black handprint on my back. Do you know what's going on? I questioned her, feeling as if she was deliberately hiding something, "Also, do you recognize the female thief?"
"I don't know, but the kyanite glass box is a fake? No, we got it back-" Hua Yumo realized that she had slipped her mouth and immediately kept silent.
But how could Ah Cheng and I be prevaricated by her like this, and asked, "You got it back?" So, do you have something to do with the man with the six-fingered black handprint?"
"No, no, no." Hua Yumo's face was flushed, and finally she stomped her foot and spit out a series of words, "Our family took out the kyanite glass box before those people found it, and put a fake in it, and then the fake was found by the archaeological team and taken out, but it was stolen, which is why there are two boxes." ”
It seems that Hua Yumo knows only that. Anyway, the real box is back, and we'll just investigate the rest of the matter ourselves.
Seeing that we weren't going to ask her anymore, and that she had gotten what she needed, there was no reason to stay any longer. He simply said goodbye to us and left in a hurry......
When Ah Cheng and I returned home, I immediately took a photo of the real kyanite glass box from all angles and all directions, and sent it to Comrade Lao Cao.
Comrade Cao on the other side replied after the identification: This is genuine. At the same time, the money was called.
I transferred the money back to Ah Cheng and asked him, "How did you know there was something in that compartment?" ”
"Speculative, but also gambling." Ah Cheng lay on the sofa after speaking, "I don't know why, I feel that things are not so simple." ”
I was about to ask him why he said that, but there was a knock on the door.
"It's me, Ah Hao, what's the situation with you, why did you catch fire, are you okay?" Boss Ye's voice came in from outside the door. I hurriedly opened the door and welcomed Boss Ye in.
"Where are they? What happened? Boss Ye looked at me and Ah Cheng, and finally stopped his gaze on the kyanite glass box on the table, "Why are there so many boxes?" So many at auction?"
"No, one of them is a fake. The genuine article is this. "Saying that, I told Boss Ye about it 1510.
After hearing this, Boss Ye thought about it for a while and said, "Do you know why I was in such a hurry to go back last night? Because my father invited a high-ranking friend to come over and give some advice. So I went and did a favor. ”
"Superior friends? Who?" I wondered, "Is that a master useful?" ”
"It's still useful, but when I went back, the master was gone, and my father said he was a man with green eyes. In short, the black handprints on my father's back were erased. Boss Ye said happily, not noticing that the expressions on my and Ah Cheng's faces had changed.
"Green pupils? Are you sure it's not glowing green? I asked Boss Ye in horror.
Only then did Boss Ye notice that the expressions on my and Ah Cheng's faces had changed, and he was stunned: "What's the matter?" What kind of expression do you have? ”
I had no choice but to tell Boss Ye everything that happened last night. After finishing speaking, I showed the six-fingered black handprint on my back to Boss Ye.
Boss Ye stared at it for a long time, and said slowly: "It's quite similar to my father's, but his is not that big, I estimate that it is about the same as a normal person's palm, I don't know why the one on your back is so big?"
I put my clothes down and muttered, "Who knows......"
"But then again, what are we going to do next?" Boss Ye scratched his head and said, "If you're fine, I'd like to take you to the hotel where the accident happened." I heard that something strange happened again last night......"
"No problem, you lead the way." Ah Cheng patted Boss Ye and me on the shoulder and said, "After all, being idle now is also idle." ”
I didn't object, so I followed them to the hotel where Boss Ye said that their family had an accident.
This is a hotel located in the second ring road, not as high as the Yeqi hotel, but it is also a three-star hotel.
After entering the hotel, Boss Ye also took us to see the rooms where the accident occurred without hesitation.
I saw that there were indeed a few six-fingered black handprints on the wall, as Boss Ye said. But what puzzles me is why just a few black handprints appear out of thin air. And, after all this time, haven't the black handprints been cleaned up?
I told Boss Ye about my doubts. Boss Ye said that he didn't know either, but he suddenly changed his words and said faintly: "The black handprint is not terrible, but there will be heads flying in the air at night." ”
Hearing this, I remembered that he had mentioned this before, but I seemed to have heard of the fact that my head was flying in mid-air.
Taking advantage of the opportunity for Boss Ye and Ah Cheng to go to the toilet, I turned on my phone and secretly searched for it, but there was no similar news.
Just then, I glanced down the hall on the first floor and noticed a familiar figure standing in the hall.
It's the thief, why is she here?
I walked forward a little and leaned on the railing on the second floor to sneak a peek at her.
I saw her look around with her own eyes, and she walked straight to the top of the staircase, disappearing into the staircase.
Is she coming up? I looked at the stairwell on the second floor, waited for a while, and didn't see her.
Could it be that you went down to the basement?
Thinking of this, I went straight to the first basement floor. But I happened to bump into her around the corner of the basement. She was standing with her back to me, in front of what appeared to be a utility room, fiddling with the lock.
After a few moments, she opened the door. At this time, she seemed very cautious, and kept looking around. I had to hide myself behind the corner.
When I poked my head out again, I saw that she was gone, and the door was gone.
I wondered to myself, and when I saw that there had been no movement, I walked over. He pressed his ear to the door, intending to hear what was going on inside.
But as a result, there was no movement inside.
"You're stalking me?"
At this moment, the girl's voice sounded behind me.
I was so frightened that I quickly stood up straight, and said, "What followed you, I just happened to meet you, so I followed." ”
"Okay, isn't this a stalk?" The girl raised her hand and wanted to punch me, "What are you doing here?" ”
"I ...... This is my friend's house, can I come and walk around? So why are you here?" With this reason, I also spoke with confidence.
"It's none of your business, you'd better hurry up, or you'll ......," the female thief glanced at the door of the utility room vigilantly, "If something happens to you, I won't save you." ”
"What could happen......" I smiled and subconsciously leaned against the door.
Unexpectedly, I pushed the door open, and a strange sound came from inside......
