Chapter 89: The Basement

I was still sitting on the stairs motionless, Teng Jianmin knew that this was a murderous mansion, and he had died and been haunted, so why didn't he think about opening a hotel here? And looking at his business, although the hotel decoration is not bad, very stylish, but there are many doors, and it is rare to see guests coming and going.

With this kind of posture, why does he still insist on business, could it be that there is a secret here that cannot see the light?

After I went back, I told Lao Meng my questions, Lao Meng lay face down on the bed, and reluctantly turned over, "I didn't pay attention to the problem of the floor, I think the location of this hotel is a bit strange." You see, it's not that far from the highway exit, which means it's far away from the city center and closer to the suburbs. If you build a house in the suburbs, you don't have to worry about the floor space, and you don't have to build so many floors to save land. Moreover, all real estate is laid with several foundations, and there is no reason to build only one. Single-family houses, not relying on all around, how panicked. Not to mention that there is such an evil thing, even if you don't have this house, it's not easy to sell. So I don't think this house was built to be a residential area in the first place. ”

"Then it can't be an office building."

"That's right." Lao Meng turned over and sat up, "Do you say you are stupid, what do you believe when people say it, if it was built as a residential area at the beginning, the wiring in the house, the load-bearing wall, how could it be drastically changed into a hotel?" Didn't you notice when we came, there was something else next to the elevator, the freight elevator, big brother! Which community also has its own freight elevator. ”

I didn't expect Lao Meng to look very rough usually, but he actually has a very careful heart. Lao Meng resolutely denied that this was a matter of carefulness, and repeatedly emphasized that it was related to IQ.

In this way, it is very likely that Teng Jianmin did not buy a second-hand building at that time, but the developer at the beginning was him, and he later made some terrifying legends, so it was logical to take over this mess.

Teng Jianmin took great pains to cover up his behavior of building a building, but what did he actually want to hide?

Yu Nian hasn't come out since she returned to the room, and I was a little worried about her state, so I called the front desk and ordered a meal and sent it to Yu Nian.

After knocking on the door twice, I felt that there was no movement in the room, and I panicked.

When I put the lunch box on the ground, I want to bang on the door. Coincidentally, at this time, Yu Nian walked over slowly and opened the door at once.

I couldn't stand my own movements because of inertia, so I flew straight in.

I thought there would be a romantic scene where I threw Yu Nian down and pressed him underneath, but I didn't expect Yu Nian's body to flash and let me fall and eat.

"What are you going to do?" I didn't even have to look back to imagine Yu Nian's frowning expression.

I rubbed my arm and stood up from the ground, "I thought you lost it again, and you didn't make a sound for a long time." ”

Yu Nian picked up the lunch box on the ground outside, turned around and closed the door, "No, I fell asleep, I didn't hear it." ”

"Yo? Can you fall asleep? This is a good phenomenon and deserves to be praised. ”

Yu Nian sat on the chair with the lunch box, and I leaned back on the sofa and looked at her in the posture of a beautiful woman lying in bed.

Yu Nian asked me while eating, "What do you want to ask?" Let's put it bluntly. ”

I was a little surprised that she could get to the bottom of my mind so well that she could guess what I was thinking with a roll of my eyes.

But there was nothing to hide in front of her, so I asked directly, "Why did you agree to Teng Chongchong to live here so happily in the afternoon, it's not your character." ”

Yu Nian replied casually while eating, "Why did Teng Jianmin choose to open a hotel in Hangzhou at this time?" Think about Lao Meng's father's nursing home, do you think there is really no connection between these three people? Your father's whereabouts are unknown now, and our only breakthrough is Lao Meng's father and Teng Jianmin, these two people must know where your father is. ”

"Then why not just ask? Teng Jianmin may not be able to tell the truth, but Lao Meng's father and my father have been old friends for many years, so they can't lie to me too, right? ”

"You also said that it was your dad's friend for many years, not yours."

Yu Nian's sentence made me a little puzzled: "What do you mean?" ”

She put down her chopsticks and looked at me with a solemn face, "You can't treat your dad as a member of your camp anymore, he is now friend or foe, it's hard to tell." ”

Yu Nian's words were sincere and a little cruel, I still couldn't accept that I wasn't my father's biological son, how could I accept the truth that my father was probably my enemy for a while.

I think we both need to get some rest, and I need to be calm and sort out the situation on my own.

When I went back and lay down for a while, I thought I could sleep all night, but I didn't expect it to be on the pillow.

When I woke up the next day, after eating and washing, Lao Meng asked me in every possible way, "Is there anything we can visit?" ”

"What's there to do in the hotel, there's a pool on the first floor, do you want to go?"

Lao Meng immediately waved his hand, "Forget it, there is not even a girl in this hotel, what is the point of me traveling alone." ”

"Then you can only eat."

"Eat four or five meals a day, and good people eat stupid."

"You don't have to be cheap and sell well, it's impossible to eat a few meals a day for free without this."

"Oh, that's right." Lao Meng leaned over and said mysteriously, "I heard that their hotel has a basement, which seems to be a forbidden place for employees. ”

"It's said it's a forbidden place, what are you going to do?"

Lao Meng bumped me on the shoulder, "Don't pretend, you don't want to go?" ”

Thinking of what the cleaning uncle said yesterday, my heart is really a little itchy. In the end, whether this hotel is really unclean, or whether Teng Jianmin deliberately released fake news to hide something, you can find out if it is true or false.

Lao Meng kept squeezing his eyebrows at me, I hesitated for a moment but still didn't control my curiosity, and simply agreed to Lao Meng. Tuso said that he was not interested and wanted to make up for it in the house, but we tried to persuade him again and again to no avail, so he had to give up.

It may be that this kind of thing has been done too much, and it means that it is a bit familiar. Lao Meng and I got two flashlights, two lighters and went to the basement.

The entrance to this basement is extremely hidden, and we went around the lobby and found a green painted iron door with a lock chained under the stairs on the first floor.

I fiddled with the chain and said, "It's stuck here, what if there's a lock?" ”

Lao Meng pushed me away, "Look at the master." ”

He pulled a one-inch black hairpin out of his pocket and stabbed it in the keyhole.

I sighed, "You really have everything." ”

"I asked the 1.7-meter-old girl at the front desk just now." Lao Meng stared at the lock boss and said to me intently.

After a while, I heard a click, the lock popped out, and the chain fell to the ground with a thud. Lao Meng and I cautiously looked back to see if there was anyone behind us. After making sure it was safe, the cat walked in with his waist down.

"You really know a little bit about everything." I said as we both walked inside.

Lao Meng walked in front of me, "Do you walk the rivers and lakes, how can you do it without some craftsmanship." ”

"Including lockpicking?"

"I just know a little bit about fur, I learned it from the forum, and I really can't open the lock no matter how difficult it is."

The two of us kept walking forward with flashlights, and the basement seemed a bit too big to be the size of a basement. "Why is this so big?" Lao Meng was a little puzzled.

"Yes, and it's all flat, and I don't see any stairs." I thought about where we first entered, behind the stairs, and then we kept going deeper, and there were no stairs or downhills, so it was not the entrance to the basement, but a darkroom for miscellaneous items.

I picked up my flashlight and looked deeper, and found that the darkroom was empty, and there was almost nothing in it. Stacked all around were cardboard boxes with various brands written in English, and I looked at what was supposed to be a certain brand of powerful disinfectant. It's normal for hotels to use disinfectant, but this amount is a bit strange, and no matter how much you buy it, you won't be able to buy a dozen boxes. I was just about to go over to see if there was anything greasy inside, but Lao Meng found something in the corner and beckoned me to come and see.

"What's that?"

Lao Meng stretched out the flashlight, "There is a step here. ”

The two of us looked at each other and slowly groped down the edge of the stairs. What I'm most afraid of now is not that I go down and find something weird inside, but that I run into something sitting inside. For example, the lethality of Teng Jianmin and a group of people eating instant noodles inside is greater for me than the lethality of two hanged ghosts hanging inside.

Compared to ghosts, what I am most afraid of now is people.

Fortunately, we walked quietly all the way, there was no sound of talking, and there were no other strange sounds, and Lao Meng and I quickly arrived in the basement. Lao Meng took a deep breath, "It's really the smell of the basement." ”

"Do you know what the basement smells like?"

"Tide."

I didn't expect the place above to be quite large, but there wasn't much space at the bottom. As far as the eye can see, it is about 70 square meters, and there are several rows of bookshelves neatly placed in front of the surrounding walls, on which are placed large and small books, which look like account books.

"This can't be the accounting room of Teng Jianmin Hotel, right?" I said, looking at the ledger-like things.

"Who still has an account room, and the accountants do the accounts in the office, and the information is directly entered into the computer." Lao Meng was attracted by those things as he spoke. I stretched out my hand to stop Lao Meng's hand, "This thing won't have any marks, right?" ”

"Just remember the order and put it back." Lao Meng said and took down one of them.

It looks like the cover is old, the footer has been rolled up, and it looks like a lot of people are flipping through it. Lao Meng looked carefully one by one, and I carefully stared at the place where the two of us came down, for fear that someone would follow me.

"Hey, Xiao Ding, look." Lao Meng pulled the corner of my clothes in shock.

"What's wrong?"

Lao Meng pointed to the ledger and said, "What is written here seems to be more than just bookkeeping." ”
