Horror Hotel

Do you want me to toss and turn and play with my vision with your shadow? —Shakespeare

When girls stay in hotels, they usually take a shower.

When taking a bath, the girl is the most insecure, naked**, standing in the shower, washing her hair is the most scared moment. The face is full of foam, the eyes cannot be opened, the mental activity will be complicated, and the imaginative girl will feel that there will be a bad guy suddenly appearing. The more I wanted to wash off the foam from my hair as soon as possible, but I felt that the more foam there was, and as time passed, my heart beat faster, I was very nervous, and I began to have strange feelings. Subconsciously thinking that someone had appeared around him, he approached and quietly approached. The girl shouted in her heart No, don't come, I don't want to die. Finally, I finished rinsing in a hurry, and when I opened my eyes, there was nothing around, and every time I washed my hair, I felt like I was reborn.

There's never been a better time to kill a girl while she's washing her hair!

Chapter 31: The Strange Elevator

There was a murder at the Dahlia Hotel in Jiazhou City, where a girl mysteriously disappeared after staying in the hotel.

The girl's name is Lan Keer, 21 years old, who came to Jiazhou City for a tour, and Lan Keer contacted her family every day, but it was suddenly interrupted the next day after she stayed at the hotel. Two weeks after Lan Keer's disappearance, the police released a video of her last time in a hotel elevator, hoping that people familiar with the matter could provide clues to find her.

The video is about 4 minutes long, and it seems that there is an invisible person following her, which is very weird, weird, and supernatural, which is puzzling.

The video shows that after she walked into the elevator, she pressed the buttons on all floors, and then hid in the corner of the elevator. At this point everything was normal, and she suddenly bent down, a little hunched over. After about 10 seconds, the elevator door moved, but it didn't close, she put her head out of the elevator to check left and right, then cautiously walked out, stood outside the elevator for about 30 seconds, and entered the elevator with her head in her hands, and pressed the buttons for all floors again. After a while, Lan Keer stepped out of the elevator again, dancing outside the elevator, and then snapped his fingers like numbers. About 15 seconds later, the missing girl, Lan Keer, left the sight of the elevator surveillance.

This elevator video went viral all over the Internet, and was widely reported by domestic and foreign news media, which, coupled with its mysterious and supernatural colors, eventually attracted the attention of the world.

The next day, the police found Lan Keer's body in the water tank on the roof of the hotel.

The water tank on the roof of the building was a large round iron can, and Lan Ke'er was floating in the water tank with her head and feet down, and her clothes were missing.

Did he kill, commit suicide, or die accidentally, or as netizens said, Lan Keer was possessed by a ghost?

The Jiazhou police invited the special case team to help solve the case, and before that, the special case team had already seen the video and learned about the case, and they had just appeared at the Dahlia Hotel and were surrounded by reporters.

Many microphones stretched out, reporters asked questions, Professor Liang faced the camera and said:

This is a strange case, and it is certain that the deceased Lan Keer must have encountered something very peculiar, so that everyone saw the strange behavior in the video. We do not prejudge our position, but let the evidence speak for ourselves, and conduct an investigation based on the results of the on-site inquest and autopsy, and the rest cannot be commented on for the time being.

Several police officers stopped the reporter who was questioning, and the special case team decided to use the hotel as such

At the case-handling headquarters, the person in charge of the Jiazhou police strengthened the security force and arranged for police officers to be on duty 24 hours a day in the hotel lobby to be dispatched at any time.

The person in charge of the Jiazhou police accompanied the special case team to take the elevator to the 4th floor, which is also the floor where Lan Keer lives.

Su Mei imitated Lan Keer's movements outside the elevator and said: I noticed that she had a paddling gesture and died in the water tank on the roof, which is really weird.

Drawing the dragon said: Xiaomei, don't be naughty.

Bao Chu twitched his nose and said: What does it smell like in the elevator, it stinks.

Professor Liang said: Tonight, Xiaomei, you are responsible for doing a crime simulation.

Su Mei said: Why, in the past, it was a small bag to do this.

Professor Liang said: Because you and Lan Keer are both women, you can better understand her psychology at that time.

Su Mei said: Okay, I think it's funny.

Professor Liang said: Also, you have to live in the room of Lan Keer.

Su Mei said: Uncle Liang, I hate you!

The Dahlia Hotel has 15 floors, and Lan Keer lives in room 414 on the 4th floor, which is a double room, the room is dirty and small, and there is a strange smell of mold. After the murder, the police have sealed off this room, and the scene has been inspected many times, hoping to use precision instruments to extract fingerprints, footprints, palm prints, secretions, clothes and hair left by the criminals, but this room only has traces left by the deceased, and there is no sign of suspicious people breaking in.

The police led the police dog to conduct a carpet search of the hotel, but no valuable clues have been found.

This hotel has a long history, the design is a bit unscientific, the corridors are like a maze, and the room numbers are not connected. The corridor is Y-shaped, there are a lot of monitoring dead corners, the sound insulation of the room is also poor, the color of the corridor walls and the room is very strange, in addition to white, more red, a bit like the color of cooled blood, giving people a sense of oppressive horror.

The person in charge of the Jiazhou police said: After a preliminary investigation, there is already a suspect.

Professor Liang said: If he killed, this person is definitely not the murderer.

The person in charge of the Jiazhou police said: The suspect is a staff member of the hotel and has a key that can open the door of Lan Keer's room.

Professor Liang said: This is too normal, the staff can definitely open the door.

Su Mei said: Oh my God, I resolutely don't live in Lan Keer's room, I sleep in the middle of the night, what if someone suddenly comes in.

Professor Liang said: Rest assured, you are absolutely safe, Xiaobao and Hualong will live next door to you.

The person in charge of the Jiazhou police communicated with the hotel, and the special case team stayed on the 4th floor where Lan Keer was at the time, and the police temporarily requisitioned the hotel's conference room, and the special case team checked and measured the water tank where the body was found on the top floor, and then focused on discussing Lan Keer's video footage in the conference room.

Lan Keer's other videos at the Dahlia Hotel are all normal, except for the elevator video before her disappearance that is very weird.

Su Mei slowed down the surveillance footage and made it into a static picture, discussing each frame and analyzing her abnormal behavior.

The person in charge of the Jiazhou police said: It was 2 o'clock in the morning on the 31st, she lived on the 4th floor, and no one knew why she appeared on the 14th floor and what she encountered on the 14th floor. We checked the other surveillance footage, and Lan Keer was supposed to be on the 14th floor on the fire escape at the time, and only made a short stop.

Su Mei said: She

Going down the elevator, wearing a red top and a short black skirt, slippers on her feet, and a flat chest that doesn't seem to be wearing a bra, we can be sure that the girl won't go out in such slippers, so she never came back from outside the hotel. Instead, he went up to the 14th floor and down from the 14th floor.

Bao Chu said: After Lan Keer entered the elevator, she bent down to press the elevator button, and she was very close, this was because she was short-sighted and did not wear glasses at that time. I noticed that the photos of Lan Keer on major news websites were wearing glasses, and this information is important and may be one of the reasons for her behavior. At that time, she couldn't see everything in front of her clearly, but she realized the danger and the situation was urgent.

Hualong said: There is a widely circulated saying that if you are followed by a suspicious person, you must press the button on each floor after entering the elevator to prevent people from knowing what floor you live on, I think Lan Keer may have been followed at that time.

Professor Liang said: There are three reasons why the elevator is not closed, first, there are people pressing buttons outside the elevator; Second, the elevator terminal system control; Third, the elevator is broken. Some criminals can also plug the door with ice cubes, or stick coins on the elevator hold button, causing the elevator door to not close, but this will also expose the elevator to surveillance.

The person in charge of the Jiazhou police said: There are also several possibilities for the strange behavior in the elevator, she is joking with an acquaintance; She had encountered something frightened, and she was hiding from something; She has taken drugs, or drunk alcohol, and has been drugged, resulting in extremely exaggerated movements.

Professor Leung said: "We have to follow the direction of the murder because she died in the tank and her clothes were missing.

The person in charge of the Jiazhou police said: The door to the roof of the building is usually locked, and forcibly opening it will trigger the alarm. So far, although the body has been found, we cannot even conclude that suicide or homicide will be made. The body had no external injuries, the deceased had no history of mental abnormalities during her lifetime, and whether she had taken drugs or some kind of hallucinogenic drug would require further autopsy to determine.

Drawing Dragon asked: How long?

The person in charge of the Jiazhou police said: It will take a week.

Professor Leung said: "Then it will take 6 to 8 weeks for the media to get the toxicology test results to buy us time.

Bao Chu said: A normal girl, but she has become abnormal, she must have seen something.

Professor Leung said: This may be a homicide case disguised as a suicide.

The special case team analyzed the three mysteries of the case and how to carry out the investigation next.

The biggest suspect is that Lan Keer stayed in the hotel on the day of her disappearance, especially the guests who lived on the 14th floor, as well as the hotel staff.

Lan Keer disappeared after leaving the elevator at 2 a.m. on January 31, and the medical examiner initially believed that her death was on February 1, the day after her disappearance. On February 14, the hotel conducted a water quality inspection and showed that everything was normal. The body was found on the 19th, which means that Lan Keer's body was likely hidden by the mysterious murderer for two weeks, and was only quietly discarded into the water tank after the water quality inspection was completed.

Lan Keer stayed at the Dahlia Hotel on January 27 and disappeared on the 31st, what happened in the past few days is beyond Lan Keer's psychological capacity, she may have listened to some threatening words, met terrifying people, or experienced some terrifying things. The events of those days may have caused Lan Ke'er to have a nervous breakdown, but she didn't call the police and call for help, she was avoiding something supernatural and inexplicable, and it was fear that drove her crazy!
