Chapter 261: The Spirit Behind the Scenes

The surveillance footage was frozen at two o'clock in the morning, in the corridor on the seventh floor of the hotel, a woman with long hair came out of room 703 and walked into the elevator room with an extremely slow step.

The elevator went all the way up to the top floor, the floor where Star Swirl and the four of them lived.

Because the woman's head hung very low all the time, the surveillance failed to capture her face at all. However, after two o'clock in the morning, no one passed by in the surveillance footage in the corridor on the top floor.

"After this strange woman stepped out of the elevator, she couldn't have disappeared for no reason, right?" Star Swirl asks.

Bai Xiaohan thought for a moment: "There is another possibility, that is, she went directly to the safe passage, because there happened to be no monitoring from the elevator entrance to the passage." ”

"At that time, I took the elevator up and down the stairs, could it be that I had a problem with my brain?" Lu Jingfan was also confused and confused.

"Maybe the safe passage leads somewhere else, like..."

"Rooftop!" Star Swirl answers and looks at Mr. X with a smile, as if waiting for his praise.

"Common-sense questions." He just said lightly, but there was a slight smile in his eyes.

After watching all the surveillance footage at night, Bai Xiaohan confirmed to the hotel the tenants who lived in No. 703 in recent days, and found that no one could correspond to the long-haired woman.

"Let's just ask the guest." Bai Xiaohan said to the other three, "You guys go to breakfast first, I'll come when I go." ”

"Hurry up, breakfast time will be over in half an hour..."Lu Jingfan was still telling her mother-in-law, and Bai Xiaohan's figure disappeared quickly like a gust of wind.

"I'm still full of enthusiasm for work." Lu Jingfan said stupidly.

Knocking on the door of room No. 703, a middle-aged woman with short hair poked out half of her face from behind the door: "Who are you looking for?" She seemed to be extra vigilant, and the chain lock on the door was still firmly attached to it.

Bai Xiaohan showed her her police officer card, because she was dressed in civilian clothes today, and the woman still looked at her with suspicious eyes, and she didn't mean to open the door.

"Sorry to interrupt." Bai Xiaohan caught a glimpse of the little girl standing behind the woman, a pair of big watery eyes looking at her intently.

"How many people live in this room?"

"It's just me and my daughter." The woman replied.

"There are some situations I would like to know from you, so that I can go in?" Bai Xiaohan smiled kindly.

The woman looked at the door suspiciously, took off the chain with some reluctance, slightly opened a one-foot-wide crack in the door, and replied, "Please wait outside for a while, let's go downstairs." ”

Just a quick glance, Bai Xiaohan really didn't see that there were other people inside, but a few things placed on the table were a little strange.

The white candles, and a few sheets of yellow tissue paper with strange characters written on them, look like props used to perform some kind of mysterious ritual.

"Okay, I'll wait for you in the lobby downstairs." Bai Xiaohan agreed, and the door was immediately closed.

After breakfast, Star Swirl and the others make their way to the hotel lobby.

"No matter how hard you put in your work, you can't have an empty stomach," Lu Jingfan threw the packed breakfast to Bai Xiaohan, "Who lives in 703?" ”

Bai Xiaohan smiled with satisfaction: "It is consistent with the registered situation, it is a mother and daughter." However, the woman was a little strange and didn't want me to enter her room, so she had to make an appointment to talk downstairs. ”

"There might be some hidden secret in the roomβ€”" Star Swirl speculated, but suddenly felt the energy lock vibrate violently.

The mother and daughter were walking towards them.

"Ms. Wang, thank you very much for cooperating with my work." Bai Xiaohan made a "please" gesture, "Let's go over there and talk about it in detail." ”

Bai Xiaohan pointed to the hotel's conference room, and the hotel manager was standing at the door with anxiety, trying his best to maintain the smile on his face. At this point, the hotel seems to be nervous.

The woman nodded, leading the little girl past Star Swirl, the energy lock vibrating incessantly, causing Star Swirl's wrist to tingle.

"What are you looking at?" Mr. X notices that Star Swirl has been staring at the back of the little girl's head, curious.

"There's a gray shadow behind her," Star Swirl thought for, "and the Energy Lock reacted strongly to her. ”

"Let's find a chance to possess it." Mr. X said.

Bai Xiaohan didn't stay in the conference room for long, and after about a quarter of an hour, the woman walked out of it with a tense face. Star Swirl immediately greeted her.

The little girl is slightly shorter than Star Swirl, about six or seven years old. Seeing Star Swirl smiling as she approaches, her eyes are immediately drawn to the doll in her hand.

Star Swirl winked at the little girl, "Do you want to play together?" ”

The little girl tugged at the corner of the woman's clothes: "Mom, can I play with the little sister for a while?" ”

The woman hesitated, she knew in her heart that the child in front of her was coming with the police, so she nodded: "Just play in the hall, don't go out." ”

As she spoke, she sat down in the rest area, her eyes casually swept over Mr. X, and she secretly glanced at him a few more times.

"Ouch, our family X is really all-ages and all-in-one!" Lu Jingfan shouted loudly, and the woman opposite immediately withdrew her gaze, her cheeks hot.

Mr. X threw a cold look at Lu Jingfan, and he obediently closed his mouth, but he still stared at the woman opposite with interest, until the woman was stared at uncomfortably, and was about to speak, when he saw his daughter running back in front of him.

"Mom, Mom, that little sister is gone." The girl is still holding the doll that Star Swirl had just taken in her arms.

"Why don't you give the toys back?" A look of displeasure appeared on the woman's face, and she took the doll from her daughter's hand and handed it to Bai Xiaohan:

"You really feel at ease with your child." Her tone was accusatory, but out of a strong sense of responsibility for the child.

After the woman left with the little girl, Lu Jingfan couldn't help laughing: "Xiao Hanhan, you have to take care of your child." ”

"It's obviously X's child, why do you want me to take the blame?" Bai Xiaohan innocently glanced at the man with a calm face and complained softly.

"Go back and rest, we'll see the results later."

Sure enough, Bai Xiaohan exchanged glances with Lu Jingfan, and rolled his eyes at the same time.

---

Star Swirl follows her mother and daughter back to room 703. The woman began to hurriedly pack her luggage, and the stack of rune paper-like things on the table was carefully packed into her bag.

Star Swirl tries to read the little girl's memory, and the image before her becomes clearer.

A man in a gray robe stood in the center of the room, muttering a word, and then suddenly flicked his hand and threw the talisman paper in his other hand at the little girl lying on the sofa in one go.
