Moreover, Boss Jin also said that she is a self-disciplined person and does not have any bad habits.

"Boss Jin said that she rarely smokes and drinks in private, and looks at the wine in this bottle, she is almost finished." Han Yu couldn't help but say, lying on the table to look at the remaining wine, turned his head and asked Wu Liankui again, "Does she like to drink?" ”

Wu Liankui nodded: "Every time I come, I will take two sips." ”

- Perhaps, this means that she can only be more relaxed and face herself more when she is in the room of the Peace Hotel, only when Wu Liankui is together?

That is, Li Baozhu here is more real and honest.

This is a good sign.

Maybe he can find more clues here, Han Yu shook his spirits and rummaged around.

And Boss Jin has been standing at the door with a gloomy face, looking at this luxurious suite without saying a word.

"Dear Zhou, you give me a thorough explanation." Seeing Han Yu rummaging around, James approached Zhou Erya and lowered his voice and asked, "Is Miss Li really not coming back?" If she were to go back to her room, I would have a hard time explaining it. ”

He's a cunning adventurer who will do anything for money, but he also knows exactly what to pay for.

If it weren't for the overwhelming report, he had a premonition that Li Baozhu had an accident, at most, he would have taken Zhou Erya to the room quietly to take a look, and would never allow them to rummage through the cabinets.

Zhou Erya did not answer him directly, but made another request: "I want to see what Miss Li has stored in the hotel safe." ”

Everyone is a smart person, and you don't need to make it too clear.

If Li Baozhu can come back, of course Zhou Erya will not be able to make such an excessive request.

Even if she can come back, with Zhou Erya's identity, I believe there will be no trouble.

James understood, but still shook his head like a rattle: "Zhou, you are just embarrassing me, the valuables stored by the guests are not personally able to take them out." ”

Zhou Erya beckoned again.

Adjutant Cai handed over another envelope.

"You can only look at it, you must not take it!"

James unceremoniously reached out and took it, and then the rules took a step back.

In fact, the world is like this, how can there be anything foolproof? There are so many dirty things in the hotel that he is afraid that the guests will come to make trouble - but if he pays enough price, even if someone does, he can hold it down.

Even if he can't hold it down, can the Overseer still be unfair?

What's more, it seems that Li Baozhu really can't come back.

In the past few days, the news of Shanghai Beach has been spreading, and James, as the manager of the Peace Hotel, knows that this is all nonsense.

Since Li Baozhu no longer appeared at Paramount, she has never been to the hotel room - if she really wants to elope, of course she will take out the stored belongings and check out and leave.

Since she didn't do this, the only possibility is that something happened.

At first, James guessed that no one knew what Li Baozhu had deposited, and he planned to live for a while, and after this matter faded, he slowly took possession of it.

- This was also a matter of course in the hotel industry at that time.

I didn't expect someone to come to check Li Baozhu's things, James knew Zhou Erya's identity, and he didn't dare to make a mistake, so he made a tentative statement.

If Zhou Erya really wants to take it, he probably won't be able to stop it, it's just another price.

"Okay."

However, Zhou Erya didn't let people hand over the third envelope, and it seemed that she was only satisfied with taking a look at it for the time being.

James, overjoyed to see that they had found nothing in Lai Baozhu's room, beckoned them downstairs to check the safe in the hotel concierge's office.

Of course, this kind of thing cannot be done by other staff members, and James keeps his men far away.

He struggled to lie down in front of the safe, turned the code, and only after the third left and the right did he use the key to open the heavy door.

"This Miss Li's storage is not cheap, Zhou, be careful when you look at it."

When James stood up, there was a golden light behind him.

Lai Bao Chu's belongings are kept separately in the hotel's safe. A whole tray of gold ornaments makes people dazzled.

"Relatively speaking, I don't have much taste, but I do have money."

James said that he would sometimes secretly open the safe alone to check the items saved by the guests, and the gold of Li Baozhu was very much to his taste.

When Boss Jin saw the gold, his face became even more ugly: "I really didn't expect that Baozhu actually made so much money and didn't say hello to me." ”

He knew that his red-card dancers made money, but this intuitive impact was still very uncomfortable.

Even as the owner of Paramount, he may not be able to get so much gold at once.

"That explains it."

Zhou Erya nodded, as expected, Li Baozhu really did not hide his valuable belongings in his own home or his love nest with Zhong Qing - in this year of chaos in law and order, this choice is not exaggerated.

Although there is still a risk of being greedy for ink in a large hotel, it is at least much safer than the bank and home.

"How much is it worth?"

Han Yu had no concept of value, so he quietly asked Zhou Erya.

"If you don't count the manual costs, it's about two or three hundred thousand yuan."

Zhou Erya's tone was calm, he was a person who had seen wealth and nobility, and this bit of gold and silver would not move him.

And these gold ornaments look like a lot, but after all, the middle is hollowed out and made into various fancy styles, not like solid gold bars. If he took it out and weighed it, he estimated that the price was almost at the top.

Of course, this is a lot of money today, enough to buy one or two luxury bungalows, or a medium-sized factory.

As a woman who had nothing just a few years ago, the speed at which Lai has amassed her wealth is astonishing — and it's still quiet, and it's not bare enough.

Zhou Erya glanced at Boss Jin thoughtfully.

"In addition to gold, it seems that there are some documents and deeds, and ......"

Han Yu took out the things in the safe one by one, and took a cursory look at the documents and deeds, which seemed to be some equity and title deeds.

Li Baozhu's investment methods are not backward, in addition to her love of gold, she also does some speculative business.

"It's normal, you don't forget the books in her study." Zhou Erya reminded lightly.

There are a lot of books on economics and finance in the study, and Yin Xiuxiu also said that she studies economics and financial investment.

Li Baozhu's property may be much higher than their previous estimates.

But...... What moved them the most was not the gold and the title deed, but a small thing hidden at the bottom of the safe.

An old, broken, seemingly worthless one—

- Dolls.

This is the third puppet found in this case.

The first is next door to the scene of Li Baozhu's murder, Ji Meiyun's dressing room, which is consistent with Li Baozhu's death; The second one is hidden in Li Baozhu's house, it looks like it has been some years, and the birthday characters hidden in it are also for the older generation, and now it can only be determined that the three golden flowers of Paramount in the previous generation should be related to this birthday eight characters.

This third doll is still in Li Baozhu's collection, but it is more closely hidden.

"Hell yes." Boss Jin muttered in a low voice, his face extremely ugly.

This case is becoming more and more confusing, even Han Yu feels that the puppet is full of weirdness and horror, is it really that these cursed puppets have played a role, so that there will be inexplicable dead people?

Han Yu cautiously stepped forward, picked up the doll, and took a closer look.

"Zhou, this can't be taken away." James didn't understand why these people didn't love gold, but were so interested in a broken doll. This thing can buy a bunch of dollars for a dollar, but no matter how cheap it is, it's the customer's thing.

Zhou Erya motioned to Adjutant Cai, and Adjutant Cai handed over another envelope.

James winced his eyebrows, took the envelope, raised his hands high, and said in a very exaggerated tone: "Look slowly, I went out to smoke a cigarette and didn't see anything." ”

That being said, he still kept an eye on the door and didn't leave.

If they want to get rid of a broken puppet, forget it, after all, depending on the meaning, Miss Li Baozhu has passed away, and no one cares about this thing. But the gold and title deeds inside must not be lost, and this thing may be a hotel or your own property in the future.

"Like the other two dolls, the structure is simple." At this moment, Kung Fu Han Yu had already checked the situation of the puppet, "Do you want to take it apart and take a look?" ”

White cloth, fine needles, yellow paper, these are the basic characteristics of cursed dolls.

The one who can call the shots present is Zhou Erya, who spent money to leave the evidence, and he casually bowed his head lightly, "Then take it apart and take a look." ”

Han Yu carefully pulled out the fine needle, lifted the white cloth, and took out the hidden paper roll. The paper roll is whitish in color, and it doesn't look like it's been left for a long time.

According to the custom, it is written in Juanxiu's handwriting with a birthday.

"The eighth day of the sixth month of the year of Renzi."

Han Yu unfolded the paper scroll, most people could see it clearly, and Boss Jin read it out in a low voice, with a strange expression.

"Do you know this birthday?" Han Yu noticed Boss Jin's strange appearance and turned around to ask.

The year of Renzi should be 1912, the owner of this birthday, is now only eighteen or nineteen years old, but unfortunately such a little girl is also the target of other people's curses.

Zhou Erya shook her head, feeling that Han Yu was really careless, they had seen this birthday in the archives.

It's just that Han Yu wanted to find the year, month and day of the second puppet at that time, and he didn't care at all.

But he paid attention to the biography of the owner of this birthday, after all, this is the experience of the biggest suspect.

Boss Jin hesitated for a moment, but still replied: "This should be Ji Meiyun's birthday." ”

"Huh." Han Yu didn't know whether he was angry or thought it was really funny, and raised the corners of his lips sarcastically, "Women...... It's scary. ”

That's a big deal.

In Ji Meiyun's dressing room, a doll that cursed Li Baozhu was found, and in Li Baozhu's safe, a doll that cursed Ji Meiyun was found.

Should this be called "unanimous", or "no coincidence is not a book"?

The sisterhood on the surface is deep, and the secret stabbing behind the scenes, Han Yu only feels ridiculous.

Li Baozhu's image has become a puddle of sludge in his mind, and it stinks.

If it weren't for the fact that he had already taken on this case, he would have been a little reluctant to continue investigating.

This kind of mutual hatred is disgusting, and I just want to stay away.

"No, Sister Baozhu won't be this kind of person!" Wu Liankui looked at them in surprise, of course he could guess that this puppet was not a good thing, he didn't want this speculation to defile the goddess Li Baozhu in his heart.

It's a pity that no one cares about his words, Han Yu was furious, and Boss Jin fell into deep thought about the puppet and the pile of gold title deeds.

Zhou Erya asked Han Yu to put away the doll and motioned to James to reassemble the contents of the safe - he pretended not to see James fiddling with a gold ring with his fingers and holding it in the palm of his hand.

The so-called goose plucking is the most appropriate way to describe people like James.

In addition, there was no other evidence left in Li Baozhu's room, and after everyone searched it, they left in different moods.

"What now? Although she found the place where she hid the treasure, the case did not change...... No, to be precise, it has become more disgusting. ”

Han Yu looked at the third cursed doll in his hand and asked Zhou Erya with a wry smile.

The doll's appearance became more and more ugly, and the cracked corners of its mouth seemed to mock the filth and darkness in the hearts of the world.

Zhou Erya said lightly: "It is true that the case has not changed much, so for you, the most important thing is to solve the mystery of the secret room." ”

Whatever the motive, the mystery of the case lies in Lai's death chamber.

Even if it is just a simple exchange of hatred between dancers, the modus operandi of committing the crime remains unexplained.

"However," Zhou Erya paused, "I think this case is complicated, and there is no way to classify it simply." ”

"What's so complicated? Now that I've found three dolls, the logic is very smooth. Han Yu said angrily.

He took out three exquisite coffee cups and placed them on the table one by one: "Oh, this is Li Baozhu." ”

Han Yu turned "Li Baozhu" over and said, "She is dead, and the person who wants to curse her is Ji Meiyun." ”

He pointed to the coffee cup in the middle and said, "This is Ji Meiyun, and Li Baozhu also cursed Ji Meiyun." In addition, she should have cursed another senior, but I don't know if it was Shangguan Qiu'er or Leng Qiu'er, or Qi Limei. ”

Han Yu turned the last coffee cup around and continued: "If it's the first two, it means that this curse is quite effective, Ji Meiyun may also be unlucky, if it's the latter, then it means that this puppet curse is just a joke." ”

As a materialist, Han Yu will only believe in the latter.

He thinks this is a boring harem story of intrigue, maybe many years ago, Li Baozhu cursed a senior, and at the same time pushed the sixth lady downstairs and took the top position.

And the current junior, Ji Meiyun cursed her in the same way, and another ruthless junior, or Ji Meiyun herself, even strangled her to death.

- This can even be said to be retribution to some extent.

In this case, Han Yu has lost interest in the truth, and he feels that everyone in Paramount is hiding dirt and dirt, which is disgusting and ugly.

Even if it is Yin Xiuxiu, I don't know if it is the same as the "good sister" Li Baozhu, fishing for many sons, even Zhou Erya.

Looking at her affectionate look at Zhou Erya, Han Yu was very uncomfortable.

Fortunately, Zhou Erya is not a thoughtless son like Zhong Qing, otherwise, in the face of the beauty initiative, only Hui Yanashita can calm his mind.

Han Yu found that he didn't have a good impression of everyone in Paramount and had already put on colored glasses to look at them.

"It's better not to put too much moral evaluation on the case, the victim and the murderer." Zhou Erya seemed to see his thoughts, and said lightly, "In this era, simple morality is difficult to evaluate everything. ”

These dancing girls who are struggling in the sea of suffering, even their own lives and bodies are involuntary, no matter what crazy behavior they do, Zhou Erya can understand it.

Li Baozhu's left and right, lust and indulgence, pretending to be a pure virgin, one set in front of people and one set behind others, is just a means for her to survive better, even if she really harms people, Zhou Erya does not feel that others are qualified to stand on the moral high ground to accuse her.

She herself is nothing more than a victim of this dark age.

What's more, there are still doubts in this.

"As far as I know, if you are tired of the curse, you should try to get the puppet as close as possible to the cursed. Ji Meiyun's puppet curse is placed next door to Li Baozhu's dressing room, only one wall away, which is reasonable. ”

Zhou Erya pointed out this unusual point again, took the coffee, and sipped slowly: "But the two dolls found from Li Baozhu's residence, one hidden in her residence, and the other hidden in the safe, have almost nothing to do with the cursed. ”

"This is a legend, but it doesn't have a curse effect."

Han Yu pursed his lips, his face was dejected, and it could be seen from his expression that he was not interested in this case: "You also know that it is a legend." ”

Although he refuted Zhou Erya, he also felt that this place was indeed a little suspicious, and those two puppets always felt that they appeared abruptly.

As if she had something else on her mind, Zhou Erya added another spoonful of sugar to the coffee and stirred it slowly.

"When will Ji Meiyun come back? I really want to go to Nanjing to find her! Han Yu just wants to end this case quickly, in comparison, he is even a little nostalgic for the job of finding cats and dogs.

At least I can't see the darkness of the human heart.

"There's no need to rush." Zhou Erya stirred the silver spoon and said lightly.

"What if there are dead people again?" If Han Yu had any thoughts about this case at the end, it was that he hoped that no more people would die.

"Before Ji Meiyun comes back, there shouldn't be any more accidents." Zhou Erya picked up the coffee cup and tasted it, but the taste was still too bitter, and she had to scoop the sugar again.

Han Yu quickly took away his sugar jar and complained: "Eat less sugar, you can't stand the sweetness when you look at it." ”

Zhou Erya's hand hung in the air, sighed, and put down the silver spoon and coffee cup: "I'll go out for a walk." ”

"You want to go out for dessert behind my back again, do you?" Han Yu's tone was very similar to that of a little daughter-in-law, and after speaking, he also reflected on whether he was managing too much, and the more he got along with Zhou Erya, the less he was able to distinguish between you and me.

"You don't like to eat, or I'll invite you along?" Zhou Erya was not angry and asked with a smile.

"I don't like to eat...... But I also want to go out and see if I can find some more clues. Han Yu said and followed.

The afterglow of the sunset outside the window fell on the tall plane trees, sifting out the golden light, the heat wave had faded a little, and the cicadas were full of midsummer twilight, and the world looked so beautiful.

But the darkness that awaited the opportunity, lurking behind the sun, would soon engulf it all.
