9. Mixed living and bathing
Hao Qiang, male, 29 years old, is a construction engineer working in Harbin. He did go to the Hot Soup Hotel three weeks ago and stayed there for two days, but then he went to Tibet because of the company's arrangement. Two days ago, Hao Qiang returned to Harbin from Tibet to work normally.
According to him, he didn't know Zhang Li's whereabouts, let alone how Yang Xu and Qiu Shi disappeared, he just happened to appear in the hot spring hotel and spent a passionate night with Zhang Li, that's all.
Regarding Hao Qiang's itinerary, three colleagues in his company can testify for him, and the disappearance of Yang Xu, Qiu Shi, and Zhang Li is indeed not related to Hao Qiang.
Tang Hui's message to us once again cut off a clue, and the only thing we could do was to wait until the evening to observe this hot spring inn. If we were sure that there was nothing strange about the hotel, we would have to go home, and the police would have to find someone.
When the three of us entered the hot soup hotel again, the beautiful woman still gave us a warm smile and asked if we needed her help.
When I told her that the three of us were going to stay here for one night, the pretty woman's smile brightened, and she quickly brought us slippers for us to change into, and then led us to the bar for a simple check-in.
At the time of check-in, there was a small accident, this hot spring hotel because there are too many guests, there is only one room left, because the beautiful woman thought that the three of us were men, so she didn't mention it to us before, and she preconceived that we could share a room.
It's okay for me to sleep in the same room as Qiao Wei, the point is that Mad Monkey looks like a handsome guy, but in fact she is a woman. It's a bit awkward for two men and a woman to live in the same room.
But the mad monkey didn't think so, and she said with a nonchalant face, "What is the size of the room?" Is it the kind of big room where futon is spread on tatami mats? If it's that kind of room, it doesn't matter if there are three people in one room. ”
"It's the kind of room you are talking about, all our rooms here are of the same size, and it is no problem to accommodate four or six people at the same time. Still, I'm very sorry to get your gender wrong, I'm sorry. As she spoke, the beautiful woman kept bowing to the mad monkey.
It is estimated that this kind of oolong incident has long been commonplace for the crazy monkey, and she has no plans with the other party.
After taking the door key, the beautiful woman took the three of us to our room herself.
The size of the hostel is not as small as I thought it would be. The two-story bamboo building with a signboard at the front entrance is just a façade, and you have to go through an open-air corridor from the back door of this façade building before you can reach the guest room area of the hotel. Because there is a nearly three-meter-high fence wall outside the main entrance, it is impossible to see the back of the hotel from the outside.
The guest room area is also a two-story bamboo and wood building, and the room for the three of us is on the easternmost side of the second floor. On the way to the entrance of the building, we passed through ten rooms, and the whole building was symmetrical, so there were at least twenty rooms here, and even if there were only two people in each room, there were at least forty people living in this hotel now.
The door to the room is one that pulls to the side, but the door is locked.
The beautiful woman opened the door for us and ushered us into the room. When all three of us were in the room, she followed up and showed us all the supplies in the room.
This room is almost fifty square meters, and there is an independent bathroom, not to mention three people, and five more can live. The floor of the room is covered with tatami mats, which is very elastic and warm. In the closet, there are futons, pillows, bathrobes, towels, chess, Go, playing cards, mahjong, TV, DVD, and so on.
There is a mini balcony window in the south of the room, under which is a low tea table with a haode tea set. The view of the mountains directly from the window is not beautiful, but it is many times better than the reinforced concrete scenery in the city.
The beautiful woman said that the hot spring pool was open 24 hours a day, and we could go there at any time, but we had to change into yukata before going there, because there was no big locker on the hot spring. In addition, as long as we check in, we can enjoy the rich dinner prepared in the hotel, and at 7 o'clock in the evening, the dinner will be delivered directly to the room, if you need drinks or other supplies, you can call the service desk on the first floor, and the staff will bring it to you.
After explaining everything, the pretty woman nodded her head and said goodbye.
I took out my vision glasses and put them on, and looked around the room. Just like Qiao Wei said, this room is very clean, and we don't see anything related to yin qi, and it is very likely that we will not find anything suspicious at night.
Qiao Wei was much more leisurely than me, he went directly to the small balcony and sat on the floor, and then tried the teapot on the table with the back of his hand.
"Yo! It's still hot! The service is really thoughtful. Qiao Wei sighed as he picked up the teapot and poured a bowl of tea into a small tea bowl. As soon as the steaming tea came out of the pot, a strong aroma of tea suddenly spread in the room.
"This Wu Lao Er is very good at doing business, don't look at this store is not very eye-catching, the service is definitely four-star!" Qiao Wei couldn't help but sigh again, and then picked up the tea bowl and took a sip of tea.
I looked at Qiao Wei and waited for his next words, but Qiao Wei did not speak, but closed his eyes and showed a very happy expression on his face.
Curious, I also went over and poured a bowl and tasted it.
The moment the tea is in the mouth, a refreshing aroma immediately spreads from the mouth, and at the same time, a warm current dissolves from the throat and the whole body, and the feeling is really difficult to describe in words.
"Good tea!"
I can only use these two words to express my feelings.
Qiao Wei and I were enjoying it here, but the mad monkey obviously didn't have the same mind. She sat on the tatami mat against the wall with a depressed face, although she said that she didn't care, she must have cared a lot about Zhang Li spending the night with other men.
I don't know what kind of mindset a little T would have, but if I really want to think of a mad monkey as a man, I know what to say to him at this time.
"I said, Brother Monkey, don't think too much, now this situation is anxious and depressed can't solve the problem, maybe you really need to do something, you are still affected by low mood affected the body, when the time comes, you have the heart to help but can't make energy, then it is really depressed. I think you'll come over and taste this tea, and then go to the hot springs, maybe you'll be in a good mood. ”
The mad monkey barely squeezed out a wry smile at me, then nodded and got up, and I quickly poured a bowl of tea for her and handed it over.
She only took a small bite, and the gloomy expression on her face suddenly vanished! Then she looked at the tea bowl in her hand in amazement, and praised it repeatedly: "What kind of tea is this?" How is it so delicious! And after drinking it, I feel so comfortable! ”
"Maybe it's soaked in hot spring water, and it can heal my heart." Qiao Wei half-jokingly responded.
I don't know if this tea was brewed in a hot spring, and I don't know what the name of this tea is, but there is absolutely no exaggeration in the performance of the mad monkey. After drinking this tea, not only did the mouth leave a lingering fragrance, but the mood was indeed very comfortable, and it felt as if all the troubles flew away from my head at once.
I looked at the table below, and now the time is almost half past four to five o'clock, at this time to go to a hot spring, come out and take a little rest just in time for dinner.
Maybe it's because the tea is really healing, and the crazy monkey is going to soak in that hot spring. Although she said that let's treat her as a man, in essence, she is still a woman, and it is better to avoid changing clothes, so Qiao Wei and I went outside the room first to let her change clothes first, and after she came out, we went into the house to change clothes.
By the time Qiao Wei and I came out, the mad monkey was gone, and it was estimated that she had gone to the hot spring pool first.
Anyway, she went to the women's pool and we went to the men's pool, even if we were on the same road, we would have to separate at that time. So we didn't think much about it, so we went to the first floor together and asked a waiter at the reception desk about the location of the hot spring. The waiter was very kind to show us the way and took us all the way to the hot spring changing room.
There really is no big locker in the locker room, only a small box for keys, mobile phones, and watches. There is also a small bamboo basket where we can enjoy the hot springs by putting our bathrobes and underwear in the bamboo basket.
The owner of the shop once soaked in the hot spring and soaked the scar on his arm, and it is estimated that the scar on my chest will not last long. Of course, this did not make me give up the idea of going in and enjoying the hot springs, and after politely wrapping the towel around our waists, Qiao Wei and I opened the door and entered the hot spring area.
The hot spring is open-air and surrounded by a bamboo wall more than four meters high, and the pool area is not small, it feels like an artificial lake, and there is a small rockery in the middle. The surface of the hot spring pool is foggy, and there are some pink petals floating on the water, I don't know if they are cherry blossoms, but it looks very meaningful.
Perhaps four o'clock is not a good time to soak in the hot springs, and only a few people can be seen in the huge pool. Because the fog was heavy, I didn't pay much attention to the people, so I walked straight down the steps by the pool and into the pool. The hot spring water is just over your waist, and you can smell the fragrance of flower petals as soon as you enter the water.
I was wondering whether to go to the rockery to find a good place to sit down, when suddenly a familiar woman's voice came from next to me!
"You two are so slow, I've been soaking for a long time."
