7. Hot Soup Hotel

If I had to come up with one word to describe Shu Xin, I think it would probably be corruption, complete corruption.

But I can understand her unusual hobby, because I also like to watch two women stripped naked and hug each other, which brings me a kind of visual and spiritual pleasure, which is perhaps a primitive instinct that humans retain as animals.

After getting Shu Xin's permission to go out, Qiao Wei and I immediately set out to investigate the location of the Japanese-style hot spring inn.

It wasn't too difficult, it took less than half an hour for us to figure out the location, and we also found a photo of the main entrance of the hotel online.

The house in the photo is indeed very Japanese, the house from the front is the kind of bamboo and wood material of the two-story building, on the second floor horizontal a very simple handmade signboard board, the signboard in the middle of the word "hotel", the right side of the painting of a xiangshang hot water, plus a "soup" word.

Because the hotel does not have a specific name, netizens call it "Hot Soup Hotel".

Hot Soup Hotel is located in a small village called Xinxiang in Daqingwai County. According to the number of kilometers shown on the map, it takes more than four hours to drive from me to Daqing, and it is estimated that it will take five or six hours to find that new village.

If we leave now, it should be three or four o'clock in the afternoon to get to the hot soup inn, just in time for some preliminary investigation. If there is really anything wrong with the hot soup inn, you can summon the ghost directly after dark.

So Qiao Wei and I each went back to our respective homes to get a change of clothes or two, and twenty minutes later, we met up at the detective agency. It was the mad monkey who came with her, and she had to go to the hot soup inn anyway, even if she didn't go with us, so we just took her with us.

Driving long distances is something I hate a lot, but luckily all three of us can drive, so we can take turns to be the driver.

After a round of substitution, we arrived in Daqing, then transferred to other counties, into the countryside, and at about three o'clock in the afternoon, our car finally drove into the new village.

This village is not very large, and it is not much different from the average rural village in Northeast China. The village is surrounded by a few small hills, then farmland, green areas, and nothing to visit. While it's always nice to be in touch with nature, it's by no means a great place to get in touch with nature.

Weishenme: Someone would open a hot spring inn in such a place? Wouldn't it be better to choose a place with autumn leaves and snow in winter? Before I entered the village, these questions were already spinning in my head, and when I arrived in this small village, these questions were even more difficult for me to understand.

We casually asked a villager on the side of the road about the location of the hot soup inn, and the villager was very kind to show us the way. Following the guidance of the villagers, we soon found our destination at the foot of a small hill less than 30 meters high at the end of the village, the "Hot Soup" hotel.

The main entrance of the inn is exactly the same as in the photos online, and the overall Japanese-style architecture is completely different from other houses in the village. There are a lot of cars parked in the parking space on the side of the main entrance, and it seems that there are a lot of people who come to visit.

The three of us parked the car and opened the curtain through the main entrance to enter the hot soup hotel, and as soon as we entered the door, the bell on the door rang with a crisp and pleasant copper sound, and then a young, beautiful and slightly sexy woman greeted us with a smile, she bowed to us and said, "Welcome." ”

She speaks Chinese, but the clothes she wears are full of charm.

I didn't know much about Japanese clothing, and I couldn't tell how she was supposed to classify what she was wearing, but it was certainly not Chinese clothing, nor was it the work clothes of a hotel waiter, a bit like the one Chihiro wore in the cartoon. The color of the dress is plain light blue, and there is a beauty line looming at the slightly open neckline, making her look feminine.

After the words of welcome, the beautiful woman immediately took slippers for the three of us, and motioned for us to change our shoes at the door before entering the house.

I hurriedly waved at her, then took out my criminal police adviser ID and showed it to her, and apologized to her, "I'm sorry, we're not here to stay at the hotel." ”

The beautiful woman didn't show any surprise on the surface, but continued to maintain her previous smile and said, "It's okay, then what do you need my help with?" ”

"That's right, I want to ask you if there was a person named Zhang Li here three weeks ago, with a long bow and a beautiful beauty, with very long hair up to the waist." I asked.

"Please wait a minute, I'll check." The pretty woman answered, and turned and walked behind a simple wooden bar in the hallway. It didn't take long for her to come back and smile at me, "Yes." There was indeed a guest named Zhang Li, who stayed with us for four days and then left. ”

"She's really been here? Are you sure it's this one?! The mad monkey hurriedly grabbed the conversation, and at the same time showed the beautiful woman her mobile phone with Zhang Li's photo.

The pretty woman stared at the phone screen for a moment, then nodded, "Yes, it's her." Her hair is beautiful and I envy her. ”

"And is she staying alone?" I asked.

"Yes, check in separately." The pretty woman replied.

"And what about when she's gone? Also left on their own? ”

"This ...... I can't say it well. ”

"You don't remember?" I asked.

The pretty woman nodded apologetically at me and smiled, "Although our shop is quite out of the ordinary, there are really a lot of customers. I do have an impression of the guest you are looking for named Zhang Li, but I am really not sure if she left on her own. ”

"Oh, do you have an impression of Yang Xu and Qiu Shi?" I changed the direction of the question.

"Yes! They checked in together and stayed here for three days, and not long ago the police came to find them, and I heard that they seemed to be missing. ”

"Did they check out on the same day as Zhang Li?"

"It's not. They left a day later than Zhang Li. ”

"Are you sure you're not mistaken?"

"No mistake, all check-in and check-out records are registered on the computer, and I just called up the data records to the police a few days ago, so I can't be wrong at this time."

"Did Zhang Li tell you where she was going?" I asked.

"Uh-huh......" The pretty woman hesitated, as if she really knew something, but couldn't speak.

The mad monkey anxiously grabbed the words again and said: "Zhang Li is my girlfriend, I have been looking for her for a long time, if you know where she went, please tell me!! While saying these words, the mad monkey also grabbed both shoulders of the beautiful woman excitedly.

The mad monkey's strength seemed to be a little bigger, and the beautiful woman suddenly frowned.

"I'm sorry!" The monkey was still very keen, she quickly let go of her hand and said to the other party, and then asked the beautiful woman again about Zhang Li's whereabouts.

The beautiful woman hesitated for a long time before Zuihou said, "I don't know if I should tell you this, but your girlfriend seems to have met a man here, and the two of them are ...... You know what I mean, right? ”

The mad monkey was stunned in front of the entrance.

I can probably imagine what happened. Zhang Li wanted to try dating a man because her family couldn't accept her gay status, but I didn't think this attempt would be successful.

At the same time, I also realized another problem, this beautiful woman seemed to have a bit of a preface. She obviously said that she couldn't remember the situation of the guests, and then changed her story to say that she was very impressed with Zhang Li's hair, and now she seemed to know Zhang Li's every move in the hotel, even when she was with a man.

There were a few too many contradictions in her words, so I could only conclude that she was lying.
