"What's wrong? What's wrong? "

Just when the six of us were at a loss, the hotel owner hurriedly ran in our direction, noticed that it was dark on our side, and quickly took out his mobile phone and turned on the flashlight

"Boss, no, we lost our gift box, give us the key."

"Oops, no wonder I just heard the sound of glass shattering."

The boss was also very anxious when he heard this, and as he spoke, he quickly took out the key from his pocket, and just as he was about to open the door, he hesitated for a moment and asked in disbelief

"This gate is fine, how can something be lost?"

The six of us hadn't recovered from the previous scene, and we didn't know how to answer the boss's question, so we all stood there stunned, silent.

After opening the door, the six of us hurriedly rushed past the boss and rushed into the warehouse, as if they had discussed it in advance, without saying a word, each running in different directions.

Guan Shuang walked straight to the table, and after confirming that the gift box was indeed missing, he began to carefully inspect the table, knocking on the tabletop, knocking on the legs, and then looking under the table, trying to find out if there was any mechanism on the table;

I ran straight to the vent and checked the surroundings repeatedly, and the vent was still the same size, so that not to mention that people wanted to pass through here, even if it was a gift box, it was impossible to be transported out of here;

Su Yong kept banging on the four walls with his hands, trying to find something like a secret passage;

Guo Hongyi repeatedly checked the glass door, trying to make sure that the door had not been tampered with;

Zhang Kexin rummaged through the room to see if the gift box was covered by something else.

Ding Yubin stood aside without moving to illuminate us, and the hotel owner seemed to be frightened by our extremely tacit and somewhat strange behavior, and asked in a trembling voice

"Classmate, what are you doing here?"

A few of us still ignored the boss, although we had experienced several murder cases before, and this time the incident was far less creepy than before, but such a big thing disappeared in front of the ground, and this kind of thing still shocked the soul a lot.

"Oops!" I heard Zhang Kexin's shout, and thought he had found the gift box, a trace of excitement flashed in my heart, and I hurriedly turned to look in his direction, but he seemed to have just been pricked by something, looking at his bleeding hands, I realized that the entire warehouse and corridor were still in a dark state.

Zhang Kexin covered his hands and said to the boss

"Boss, can you go and check the electric switch, why is the light off?"

The boss agreed, ran out of the warehouse, just ran out a few steps, seemed to collide with someone, even said a few sorry, and hurried away.

"Who is it? Who's there? Guo Hongyi shouted.

Noticing that there were still people in the hallway, several of us raised our alerts, slowly stood up, and stared straight in the direction of the hallway.

"It's me." The figure in the dark was talking, and she also turned on the flashlight of her mobile phone, and through the light, we could see her face clearly, it was Wang Yiran, the head of the Russian class, and it was really strange that she appeared in this place at this time.

Guan Shuang asked suspiciously

"Why are you here?"

Wang Yiran walked slowly towards us and explained nonchalantly

"I just heard a sound from here, so I came over to see what was going on, what's wrong with you?"

We were not in the mood to answer Wang Yiran's question, and remained silent, recalling that Lian Ningmei had told me before that the room for girls in the Russian class was on the 5th floor, and I asked alertly

"Your room is on the 5th floor, right? Can you hear the sound on the first floor? And it came down so quickly? ”

"What are you talking about?" Wang Yiran didn't seem to understand what I meant by asking, and continued

"I was a little hungry, and there was nothing to eat in the room, so I wanted to buy some snacks at the supermarket outside, and I just walked to the first floor and heard a sound, so I came over." As she spoke, she entered the warehouse.

Her explanation also seemed to be very reasonable, just as I was thinking about the methods that the Dark Lord might use, the lights in the warehouse and the corridor were turned on, and with the sound of hurried footsteps, Secretary Lu, the guide, and Yu Dongting also hurriedly ran over.

Secretary Lu asked loudly as he ran

"What's going on? The boss called me just now and said that something was lost in the warehouse? ”

After the three of them ran into the warehouse, Yu Dongting looked around for a week, and soon realized that the sea cucumber gift box he had carefully prepared was lost, and for a moment his eyes were full of anger, but he still suppressed his emotions and asked in a calm tone as much as possible

"Where's the gift box? Why is it gone? ”

Guan Shuang withstood the pressure and briefly recounted the situation just now, and after listening to Guan Shuang, Secretary Lu and the other four felt unbelievable, similar to our reaction just now, and instinctively looked at this warehouse.

They couldn't see why, so they didn't believe Guan Shuang's words, and the instructor asked meaningfully

"What you're talking about is really suspenseful, aren't you guys... Hide the gift box and joke with us? ”

The instructor's words seem to be giving us steps, but it is obvious that we stole the gift box.

Zhang Kexin didn't give him face at all, and asked directly

"Guide, you don't suspect us, do you?"

"I just..."

"It can't be what they did." The boss who went to check on the situation also rushed back, and the voice had arrived before the person arrived, and defended us

"When I got here, they were always at the door, and the key was always on me, and they couldn't get in at all."

When Zhang Kexin heard the boss say this, he was even more confident, glanced at the instructor, and snorted coldly

"Humph! It is! How can anyone be stupid enough to steal something and stay where they are waiting for someone to catch them? ”

When the instructor heard Zhang Kexin say this, his old face suddenly turned red, and he said with some annoyance

"Then according to you, you saw that the gift box was gone, the warehouse was so big, and there was no secret passage, and you kept guarding the door, could it be that someone came in through that vent and went out with the gift box? Even if he can shrink his bones, how can he get the gift box so big? Is there a ghost? ”

I followed the instructor's words, looked at the vent, looked at the cold wind that kept blowing in, compared with Secretary Lu and the guide in thick clothes, especially Yu Dongting and Wang Yiran in down jackets, but I was already frozen in pajamas.

The instructor's question made us speechless, Guan Shuang changed the topic and asked the hotel owner

"Boss, have you found the reason for the power outage?"

The boss nodded, pulled out a candle that was almost burning, and said

"It's just a trip, but I picked this up there, I don't know who threw it."

Seeing the short candle, my eyes lit up, and I just wanted to step forward and say something, but my head was dizzy again, and I almost couldn't stand steadily, and I couldn't speak for a while, Guan Shuang said first

"In this way, it is not a simple trip, it is intentional by people."

"Huh? Why do you say that? Yu Dongting asked puzzled.

Guan Shuang explained methodically

"This is the technique of Conan in a certain episode, someone ties a heavy object to the electric switch, the other end of the rope is fixed, and then the middle of the rope is burned with a candle, after a while, the rope will be burned off, and the heavy object will fall and pull the electric switch, causing a power outage."

I secretly praise Guan Shuang in my heart for being indeed a smart and erudite person, and in retrospect, if he had been there in the case of S Normal University last time, he might have been able to lock Jiang Junqian as the murderer earlier, and so many people would not have died.

Hearing Guan Shuang say this, Secretary Lu suddenly became angry and shouted

"Bastard! In other words, someone deliberately designed this mechanism to steal things after the lights went out? So, it's a theft? No, I have to call the police. ”

As he spoke, he was about to pull out the phone, but before the rest of us could react, the instructor stopped him first

"Secretary Lu, wait a minute." Then he whispered something to Secretary Lu's ear, although he spoke very quietly, but it was too quiet here, I vaguely heard a rough idea, it was nothing more than that the gift box was not a particularly valuable thing, there was really no need to call the police, and the thief was likely to be a student of our school, and it was not good for the reputation of the school to spread it, so it was better for us to find out the thief ourselves, and the school would punish him a little.

I don't know if the instructor is to protect his students or afraid that it will affect the reputation of the school, in short, after his words, Secretary Lu hesitated for half a minute, weighed the pros and cons, and felt very reasonable, and slowly took back the mobile phone, but still said unwillingly

"It's not expensive, but it's bad nature! Let's search room by room! ”

As he spoke, he was about to go out, but Wang Yiran stopped Secretary Lu and said

"Secretary Lu, I don't think it's appropriate..."

Obviously, the school leaders like Wang Yiran very much like students with excellent character and learning, and Secretary Lu still listens to her words, and asks with a little doubt

"What's wrong?"

Wang Yiran explained

"Judging from the current situation, it is very likely that one of our classmates took it, if he really found the gift box in his room, how will he face his classmates in the next four years."

Secretary Lu always looks giggling on the surface, but from the murder incident in the repertory troupe, I feel that he is a person who loves his students very much, hearing Wang Yiran say this, Secretary Lu nodded, and the anger in his heart has also disappeared by half, rubbing his hands and saying

"But we can't just do that, can we?"

Wang Yiran saw that Secretary Lu's attitude had eased a little, and hurriedly took advantage of the situation and said his own way

"It's not as good as this, I guess it must be a classmate who accidentally took the gift box, and we have been doing social practice here for the past few days, he has no chance to take things away at all, let's not publicize it, maybe he will send things back by himself within three days, so that he won't be too embarrassed when he finds it back."

Wang Yiran never said a word "steal" from beginning to end, and she has been speaking for the Dark Lord, which makes me a little moved, but I also vaguely doubt that she will be the Dark Lord himself, but even if I doubt her, I have to figure out how she stole the gift box first.

Secretary Lu seemed to be convinced, but he still looked at Yu Dongting, after all, the thing was his, and he had to ask him what he meant, Yu Dongting coughed lightly twice and said

"Well, I also feel that this is very good, those sea cucumbers are not expensive, even if they are lost, it doesn't matter, give that classmate a chance."

"Ahh Ahh I finally couldn't bear it anymore, I sneezed a few times, Su Yong saw my abnormality, we were fighting and fighting, but we still cared about each other, he hurriedly said to Secretary Lu

"Song Yang seems to be a little uncomfortable, it's too cold here, we are wearing such thin clothes, let's go back first."

Everyone also felt that there was no need to stay here anymore, and the group left in turn, the door of the warehouse was not locked, and now there was nothing of value in the warehouse, and we were all looking forward to the return of the classmate who accidentally "took" the gift box.

"Will he really send the gift box back?" Su Yong asked.

Zhang Kexin sighed and said

"Who knows, but he said in the notice letter that he would send it back."

"But how exactly did he get the thing away? For a moment, it was like magic. Guo Hongyi ruffled his hair and asked what we all wanted to ask.

Guan Shuang was still very calm and analyzed carefully

"Even if it's really magic, it's just some kind of trick, although I don't know how the prisoner stole the gift box, but as the boss said, from the warehouse here, whether you want to go upstairs or leave the hotel, you must go through the front desk, just now I asked the boss, he is very sure that he heard the sound to meet us during the period of time, absolutely no one passed by the front desk."

Zhang Kexin continued to analyze

"In this case, it is impossible for the prisoner to transport the gift box upstairs or out of the hotel, and the implication is that the prisoner can only hide the gift box in a room on the first floor."

"Well, that's good." Guo Hongyi looked at the corridor and said

"Warehouse-104-105-106-107-Reception-Staircase-108-109... On the other side of the stairs is the main gate, 104, 105, and 106 are our rooms, so it seems that the only possible place to hide is room 107, which is the room of Li Mengqiao and Leng Jinlong, right? ”

Guan Shuang looked at room 107 and touched his chin and said

"Well, let's put aside the prisoner's methods, it's true that only 107 can be used as a room to hide the gift box, and I've been thinking about a problem before."

"What's the problem?" Zhang Kexin and the others asked in unison.
