New York City, the largest city in the world. The Statue of Liberty, Broadway, Wall Street, Central Park, etc., all the luxurious buildings can make Zhang Chen drive on the street breathtaking.

Zhang Chen chose to have lunch at a more luxurious restaurant on the west side of Central Park.

Soon a colleague and friend who was communicating with Zhang Chen on the phone walked into the restaurant with a burly white man. After meeting, Zhang Chen hugged each other, and it seemed that the relationship between the two was very good, but they hadn't been able to meet for a while.

"Sam!" Sam, the mixed-race man in front of Zhang Chen, was supposed to be talking on the phone with the protagonist Street 1408 after a letter from Street 1408 in front of Zhang Chen, but he didn't actually meet him.

"Anslin! My good friend, this is my cousin, works for the New York DC Police Department and his name is Braga. Robert."

"Hello Mr. Robert!" Zhang Chen immediately shook hands with the officer warmly and smiled, and then invited the two to sit down at the table he had set.

"I've already ordered all the dishes, I'll miss it first." Zhang Chen got up and walked towards the bathroom, and there were three hurries.

"This is New York...... Why are you back?" The protagonist's friend Sam followed closely behind Zhang Chen, standing in the spacious bathroom and now saying this line Sam's line on the phone with the protagonist in the movie.

"I'm going to start by adding a wonderful ending to my new book." Zhang Chen replied word for word the lines in response.

"I understand what you're saying." Sam clearly has a deep connection with the protagonist before." But this is New York...... After all those changes, do you really want to visit the old place again?"

"I'm not going to stay long."

"Will you call Lily?"

"No. I don't want to influence her. It's good for everyone to go and get back quickly, this time I'm just here for work."

Sam patted Chen on the shoulder and said sincerely, "If you need help, just come to me."

"Thank you, Sam."

"You've been out for a few years, but you've become more disciplined, and you've even thanked me. Ten years of classmates and friends, you should do your best."

The two laughed and walked out of the toilet and returned to their original positions, and with the storage of Sam, the cousin's agent, Zhang Chen quickly established a good relationship with his cousin, and offered to add the police officer's name to the list of sponsors in the new book he was preparing to publish. The police readily agreed to Zhang Chen's request to view the file.

"Mr. Anslin, it's very troublesome for you, a writer, to enter our archives department. Well, I'll make a copy of all the information I can get at the Dolphin Hotel, and I'll be waiting for you at nine o'clock in the evening at a bar at the bottom of the street across from the police station. How about handing it over to you then?"

"Thank you!" Zhang Chen took the initiative to stand up and shake hands with the other party.

After a hearty conversation at the dinner table, sending his best friend and cousin away, Zhang Chen looked at his watch and saw that he still had four hours to go, thinking about it, he didn't have anything to prepare for the time being, and he only needed to wait until the evening to get the 1408 related article about the Dolphin Hotel in the police station.

After Zhang Chen drove back to his office, he lay leisurely on the recliner, experiencing the last calm before the rain.

Protagonist Mike. Ainslin actually has a complex family background, as can be seen from the previous conversations between the protagonist's friends and his friends. The main character used to live in New York City and should be a very good novelist with a career in his career. But the good life has changed.

Bad father-son relationship, the death of his beloved daughter, and the blame of his ex-wife...... New York City is a place where the protagonist has a heart in his heart. But at the same time, it is a city that it does not dare to face.

Zhang Chen slept on the recliner and recalled the scenes in the movie, and quickly clarified some of the unknown factors and dangers he would face if he was in room 1408.

"The ** part of the whole movie, from the time the protagonist stays in room 1408 to the final mental upside down and is devastated and desperate, the long-sealed shackles in my heart are finally opened, and the lighter is used to end up with the entire 1408. But in reality, the time that the protagonist spends in room 1408 is just a reincarnation of a fantasy world, with a total duration of one hour."

"If it were me. After knowing what is going to happen in this hour, it will certainly not be touched. There would be no suicide. Then for the rest of the day, I will deviate from the line of the movie, and in an hour I will face the real horror of 1408. I hope the text brought by the police tonight will help."

Zhang Chen set the alarm clock on his mobile phone to 6 o'clock in the evening, because of last night's sleep problems, he needed to replenish a period of energy to face the real nightmare tomorrow night.

Seven o'clock in the evening

Zhang Chen rushed to a bookstore on time to start a small book signing session according to the plot in the movie, probably because of the temporary opening, and only a few readers participated. Naturally, Zhang Chen followed the dialogue in the movie to communicate with each reader, and finally arrived at the bar across the street from the police station where Sam's cousin worked before nine o'clock.

"Hey, dude."

Zhang Chen warmly hugged the burly police officer at the front desk of the bar and took the initiative to order two glasses of whiskey.

"Brother Anslin, you don't really plan to stay at that hotel, do you?" Robert took a sip of the whiskey floating on the ice cubes and said with a heavy face.

"We, the writers, sometimes have to take some practical action for the work." Zhang Chen obviously saw that the policeman in front of him seemed to know something, but he was not in a hurry, and he was slowly right. [,！ "I've lived in many haunted places before, like a haunted apartment in Orlando, a motel on Route 17, ......."

"Mr. Anslin, this time is very different. The 1408 room in the Dolphin Hotel has been built since 1895, and many people have died in the past 100 years. There are a total of 56 deaths recorded in our police department archives, 22 of which were natural deaths."

Zhang Chen's brows were furrowed, but he was very happy in his heart, after all, the black manager in the movie gave the protagonist a total of 56 death messages in history 1408. However, the protagonist of the original film moved into room 1408 immediately after receiving the report of the 56 deaths, and did not have any time to review the details of the 56 deaths.

"Thank you, Mr. Robert. I'm going to think about moving in after reading your information, it's confidential, I'm going to burn it all after reading it, and I won't have the memory of our meeting tonight in my mind, thank you very much for your help, and I'll leave your name in a prominent place in the new book when the time comes."

Zhang Chen clinked glasses with the policeman and took the bag in the other party's hand, and when he saw that the other party was about to turn around and leave, Zhang Chen immediately stopped the other party.

"Mr. Robert, do you know anything strange about the 1408 Hotel, after all, it is possible that the words you provide can inspire the creation of the book, and even become a part of the novel."

"Hmm...... In fact, in a top hotel like the Dolphin Hotel, there are often some thefts, murders and other cases inside. Although I have not been assigned to investigate the hotel, I know that none of the officers who have been investigated have remained in the bureau and have either been transferred to other districts or resigned, and I don't know if that is the case."

The information revealed to Zhang Chen by the police implies extremely important information.

"I have a colleague named Tim and we have a pretty good relationship and we have each other's phones. There was an indoor homicide at the Dolphin Hotel three years ago. A task force was immediately set up at our police station to investigate the matter, and Tim was among them, but a week after the murder was solved, Tim suddenly resigned and drove back to his hometown overnight."

"Wait......" Zhang Chen interrupted the policeman, "Is the room where the murder took place in 1408?"

"No, it's supposed to be a room on the twenty-third floor, I can't remember the specific room number."

"Well, you go on."

"The last time I saw my friend the last night, I didn't even recognize it at first sight. I have the impression that he has always been a young man who pays attention to dressing up and knows how to be polite. But at that time, he was in good spirits, with deep dark circles under his eyes, sloppy clothes, and even the two shoes on his feet were not the same pair. But after that night, I couldn't reach him again."

Zhang Chen nodded thoughtfully, and then motioned with his eyes for Robert to follow him to a corner of the bar, and handed over the $500 he had prepared in advance to Robert.

"The officer is very grateful for your help, half of this money is due to you, this matter is only known to the two of us. I also want you to help me investigate from the police station what happened on the land before the Dolphin Hotel building or what kind of building was built, so I'm sorry for you."

Five hundred dollars is not a small amount, more than a month's salary for Robert as a police officer, after all, his cousin's friend is not trying to do anything bad, just to write. Robert hesitated for a while, but finally nodded.

"Tomorrow at noon, how about you hand over Wen Jiàn to me?" Zhang Chen doesn't have much time, after all, tomorrow night, he will enter the Dolphin Hotel and check in to 1408.

After Zhang Chen finished speaking, he handed the police a business card of his writer at the same time.

"The information you have provided is important, and I will narrate it in my novel when the time comes. If you have anything else to do about the hotel, you can call or send me a message and we'll see you tomorrow at noon."

After the two shook hands and said goodbye, Zhang Chen couldn't wait to drive his car towards the office.

"According to the description of the incident behind the police, it seems that it is really not just 1408 that has problems, the entire Dolphin Hotel has problem ......" (to be continued)
