16. The golden house hides the corpse

When Qiao Wei and I returned to the hotel, it was not yet noon, and the man we had met in the morning at the front door bar was still the same greeting man we had seen in the morning, and Miko did not appear.

I went over and asked him which room the innkeeper Wu Lao Er usually stayed in.

The male greeter was stunned for a moment, and then asked nervously, "Is there anything wrong with you?" ”

"It doesn't matter, I just want to ask him a few questions." I said.

"Oh, then I'll call him." As he spoke, he was about to get the phone.

I didn't say that I had to go to Wu Laoer's room to have a look, but the man's reaction was so suspicious that I didn't know if he was scared because of Weishenme, but in this way, I couldn't fly to Wu's room. He reached over and grabbed his arm, Qiao Wei also understood, stepped forward and snatched the phone from the man's hand.

"You...... What do you want to do?!! The male greeter asked excitedly, while struggling hard at the arm I was grabbing.

I didn't mean to let go at all, I still grabbed his arm hard and said, "You tell me your boss's room quickly, why is there so much nonsense?" ”

When he saw that he couldn't break free of my hand, he turned to beg for mercy: "The boss hates that people go to his room to disturb him, and if he knows that I tell you where his room is, he will fire me!" ”

"If I don't tell him, you say no, you just have it! Or I can also use another method, anyway, this hotel is not big, we will search all the rooms, and we will definitely find your boss's room, and then I will tell him that you told me. You choose, do you take the initiative, or we will find it ourselves! ”

"You're ......!"

He gritted his teeth as if he were going to scold me, but he soon became deflated and told me that Wu Laoer's room was not in the guest room, but in a very secluded cabin behind the hot spring pool. After finishing speaking, he also begged me not to tell Wu Lao Er that he had leaked secrets.

"Don't worry, I know what to do." I said yes and asked, "By the way, do you know anything particularly strange about the guests who come here?" ”

He thought for a moment, then pouted and shook his head, then said, "I think you two are weird." ”

Indeed, if it were quirky, I don't think there would be a more eccentric guest than me and Qiao Wei.

There was nothing to say to the man, and I let go of his arm and went straight to the hut he had said.

Qiao Wei and I were there last night when we were checking around the hotel, but the hut was locked all the time, and there was no sinister atmosphere around the house, so it felt like an abandoned warehouse, so we didn't have any idea about it. But now, things like yin qi and ghost qi obviously can't be used as a standard for judging whether there are ghosts or not.

When we got to the door of the house, we knocked lightly a few times, and then I shouted inside, "Boss Wu! Is Boss Wu in there? I have something I want to ask you, or about Miko! ”

The door was quickly pushed open through a crack inside, and the young boss who had answered our questions revealed half of his face through the crack in the door. Unlike in the morning, this time there was not a single smile on his face, and his face was gloomy.

"Didn't I tell you I didn't have Miko here? What else are you looking for?! ”

His tone was very horizontal, and compared to the morning, it was like a completely different person, which also reminded me of what Sun Jieting said.

"Don't pretend, we already know Miko Sakumoto!" I'm straight to the point.

"Miko Sakumoto? What are you talking about? I don't understand. Wu Lao Er pretended to be stupid.

"Don't talk to us about all this uselessness! We're not the police, and we're not here to arrest you, we just want to know what's going on in your hotel, and we're suspecting that Miko's ghost is at work because of the disappearance of ten people in the past six months. ”

"I don't have any ghosts here! If you want to find ghosts, go to the graveyard to find them, that's a lot! ”

Wu Lao Er didn't care if Qiao Wei and I still had something to say, he directly closed the door with a bang, and then no matter how Qiao Wei and I knocked on the door, he just wouldn't open it. I simply kicked at the door a few times, but the door panel was unexpectedly strong, and Qiao Wei and I kicked together again, but we couldn't open the door.

But we didn't give up. Since he won't open the door, we have to let him come out on his own initiative by making a fuss in the hotel room, and we're going to talk to all the guests here anyway.

So Qiao Wei and I turned around and went straight to the guest room building, knocking on the door from the first floor to the second floor. But to my great surprise to Qiao Wei and me, no one in the guest room responded, no matter how we knocked on the door, and no one came out, as if the room was an empty building at all.

On the first floor, directly opposite the door, there was a small room, where there was the service desk, and in it sat a young man. He wore two headphones from beginning to end, shaking his head as he listened, and he simply ignored Qiao Wei's actions and me.

The two of us tossed upstairs and downstairs and didn't see anyone come out, and Zuihou could only go to the service desk to ask where the guests in the kid's building were.

The guy didn't even take off his headphones, and threw us an almost blank registration form and said, "Aren't you the only guest these days?" Or who are you looking for? ”

Qiao Wei and I couldn't help but glance at each other after hearing this.

There are a lot of cars parked outside the gate of the hot spring inn, and I did see a few people in the hot spring pool yesterday, so how could there be no guests?

I hurriedly threw these questions to the guy at the service desk.

The guy responded in a tone of ignorance: "The car at the door is our boss's private car, and the people who soak in the hot springs are all friends of the boss, and they usually live in the boss's cottage and will not come to the guest room." ”

"Just that little house? It's too crowded for five people in that room at the same time, I saw at least ten people in the hot spring pool yesterday, don't tell me those ten people are all crammed into that room. I asked angrily.

The guy was also angry and yelled at me, "Why are you asking so much? They are willing to squeeze it, what does it have to do with you? Besides, that's our boss's business, if you want to ask him to go, I only care about this guest room, I don't ask if it's not under my control, our boss said, he likes me to be nosy! ”

I wanted to talk to him a few more words, but the kid suddenly stood up from his chair, quickly took off his headphones, and then said behind me tremblingly: "Boss, it's not what you think, I didn't quarrel with the guests, they are here to make trouble, and it is not your friend's fault." ”

I don't need to look at it to know, it must be Wu Lao Er who is here.

"Isn't it hard to get you out?"

I turned around as I spoke, and the person behind me was indeed Wu Lao Er, but he was no longer the expressionless poker face he had before, and came over with a smile and asked, "Are you two dissatisfied with my little hotel?" If you have any comments, please feel free to put them forward, and I will correct them immediately. ”

"There is no opinion, but there are two requirements!" I said.

"Okay, tell me, if I can satisfy you, I will satisfy you."

"First, I'm going to go into your hut. Second, I'm going to take a look at your hot spring eye. Just these two requirements! I said.

Wu Lao Er smiled and shook his head at me and said, "I'm sorry, that hut is my home, I think I should have the right to refuse anyone to enter my home." As for the second request, I think it's a trade secret, and that's how I make money. ”

"Okay, the way to make money, it's very good." I smiled at him in response, but then I raised my fist and smashed it at the bridge of Wu's nose.

Wu Lao Er didn't react at all, he was punched by me, and Qiao Wei, who was beside me, followed up with a sweeping leg and put Wu Lao Er to the ground.

These two greetings obviously made this kid with fine skin and tender flesh a little overwhelmed, and he fell to the ground and didn't even make a sound of crying out in pain, probably because he was stunned. Taking advantage of the fact that he didn't get up and didn't have the strength to resist this effort, Qiao Wei and I went over to rummage on him and found the key, and then we quickly ran out of the guest room building and went straight to Wu Laoer's hut.

There were only five of his keys, and we went over and tried them one by one, and soon found the right keys and opened the door.

The room was empty, except for a workbench full of tattered workbenches and tools such as shovels, drills, earth baskets, ropes, etc., and a bed on which lay something that looked like a paper man. Qiao Wei took a few steps to the side of the bed and dragged down the "paper man", but the paper on the outer skin was torn off by him at once, and the inside revealed a piece of skin that looked snow-white and smooth.

Someone seems to be wrapped in paper?

I also hurried over to help Qiao Wei tear off the paper together, and when the person in the paper showed his face, my heart suddenly chuckled.

The person lying there was not a stranger, but the mad monkey Hou Zifeng!
