"Notes on Going to the Grave" (28)
Most people don't have any idea when they see this, at most they are exhaust ducts or air conditioning ducts and the like.
But I knew at a glance that this was the place where the kitchen was used to exhaust the smoke.
It's just that at this moment the smoke exhaust equipment was dismantled, and the big hole was plugged with plastic bottles.
The inner ring stuffed with plastic bottles is charred black, which may be blackened by long-term smoke exhaust. But generally the pipe will stick out, so this one is more likely to be charred black.
This should prove that this is the place that the master said, but at the moment the hotel has become a supermarket.
And how do I find the next clues, it seems to be a problem.
"Eh, who are you? Why here? The voice of scolding came from behind.
I turned my head and saw a man in a staff shirt looking at me.
The two-way door was opened, and the open door was inscribed: Staff Passage.
The door closed on the other side has an employee attendance sheet posted on the side of the back door.
"If you can't come in here, get out quickly." The employee said.
My mind struck and I said, "I came looking for a job, and the security guard on the next floor told me to go upstairs." Isn't this a staff passage at the door? I just came in. ”
"Looking for a job? Come with me. "The staff took one look at me and led me inside, from the freight aisle to the third floor.
I followed the staff to the third floor, in a small room.
It appears to be a staff lounge, with two bunk beds in the room.
But there was no one at the moment, and the employee took out a bound booklet from the drawer, handed it to me and said, "There are things like employee benefits, company background, and some slogans to memorize, you can read first." It's ten o'clock in the evening, and it's half past ten and closes for work. You come tomorrow morning at nine o'clock, and the interview will be passed. ”
"Generally?" I took the booklet and said.
"Because there are few people, I am tired of working in my early 2,000s a month. There weren't a few moves, but to be honest, the young people should go to the bigger ones. The employee said.
I thought about it and got off the donkey and said, "What? Is it bad here? Anyway, this supermarket has been around for some years, right? You've been working here for a few years. ”
"You're asking the right person, I've been mixing since I opened. This supermarket is now in its seventh year, and the owner doesn't know how many have changed. The employee said.
"Seven years? What do you say about changing bosses? I said puzzled.
"The supermarket is still a supermarket, and the owner can't do it and transfer it. Anyway, it is a self-operated large supermarket, and those who take over will generally take over all of them and continue to be a supermarket. In the past seven years, I haven't even bothered to change my name, and there are three bosses who I have named. Those who are not famous, go to the sea. The employee said.
"Business is not good, is it, so what was it like here seven years ago? Before the supermarket? I said.
"Before the supermarket? I heard that it was a hotel. The employee said.
"Do you know anything about the hotel?" I said.
"It seemed to be on fire, and it was in the newspaper at the time. Aren't you a local? Everyone here should know about it," the employee said.
"Can you tell me about that?" I said.
"I don't think you're looking for a job." The employee said.
"Isn't this a clear question, I'm afraid of ghosts. What if someone was killed by the fire? I said.
"I don't know if there are dead people, but there are reports of burning more than a dozen people. The boss went out of business at that time in order to lose money, in fact, it is not appropriate for you to ask me. You can look through your phone and find it on the Internet. The employee said.
