Ouyang Fan decided to leave the hotel and wait for Jiang Ruhui.

As he walked out slowly, he paid attention to Qiu Jichang. Qiu Jichang came to find Yan Mengshi. But Yan Mengshi threw him in the hall for no reason, this is impolite behavior, and Qiu Jichang should be angry. And this kid, who seems to be naturally good-tempered, not only did not get angry, but also smiled and looked at the figures of the two beauties until they disappeared on the stairs on the second floor. He asked for a cup of coffee and drank it slowly.

Could it be that this kid is a little wooden, and he didn't see Yan Mengshi's special expression?

Ouyang Fan immediately denied his idea. Human psychology is complicated, and Ouyang Fan didn't believe that Qiu Jichang would not be able to see a woman's abnormal expression. Could it be that this Qiu Jichang was born with a strong ability to restrain himself?

Ouyang Fan returned to his car and sat down. He had to wait for Jiang Ruhui to come out.

A car stopped six or seven cars away from Ouyang Fan's car, and a person got out of the car, Ouyang Fan was stunned, it turned out to be Lu Xiangzi! The coach, dressed in a light black Chinese coat and a black floppy hat, walked towards the hotel. What is he here for?

Ouyang Fan stared at his figure until he entered the door of the hotel.

Ouyang Fan was a little worried. Somehow, as soon as he saw this person, Ouyang Fan had a feeling of unsteadiness in his heart. This may not be a suspicion of a dark ghost, but Lu Xiangzi's eyes are special: those narrow eyes have a ghost-like thing, and his eyes flicker quickly, making people feel that although his thinking is fast, he is often short-sighted and so on, and he is obsessed with the handling of the current situation without a longer-term vision.

People with this kind of mentality will do unexpected things in a hurry.

Ouyang Fan was very afraid that Jiang Ruhui would make a mistake.

He got up slowly, wanting to go back to the hotel. There was a man he knew in the hotel who happened to live on the tenth floor, and he could go in under the pretext of looking for someone. But now that the makeup is like this, it doesn't seem right. He stayed for a while, but he had to stay. He removed all the makeup and returned to his original appearance.

Jiang Ruhui hurriedly ran back. Not only was she carrying the bamboo basket, but she was also holding a paper bag in her hand. Her face was flushed, and as soon as she got into the car, she laughed and held the paper bag high: "Look! Brother, she really gave me 10,000 yuan. ”

Ouyang Fan said indifferently: "This is the reward you deserve." ”

Jiang Ruhui was worried: "Brother, do I dare to accept it?" ”

"She hired you as a secretary, of course you deserve it!"

"No, no!" Jiang Ruhui finally figured it out and shook her head vigorously, "This won't work!" Brother, we're just acting, I don't need to take her money. Jiang Ruhui stuffed the money to Ouyang Fan, "You better give it back to her, we can't take other people's money for nothing!" Besides," she smiled playfully, "she's probably my sister-in-law in the future." Knowing that I take her money, you can't scold me to death! ”

Ouyang Fan picked up the paper bag, opened the bag and took a look, and it really contained 10,000 yuan. He threw the paper bag on Jiang Ruhui's lap and said, "Put it away!" After a while, my brother will accompany you to buy a laptop. ”

"Brother, is this okay?"

"Nothing can't be done. No more nonsense! Brother asked you, what else did she do when she went upstairs? ”

Jiang Ruhui was a little dazed: "I didn't do anything." Jiang Ruhui suddenly trembled: "Brother, it's not right!" While I was in her room, I heard a sound on the ceiling and someone crawling down the pipes above. I listen, very much like your rival Qiu Jichang. ”

"Oh?" Ouyang Fan was stunned.

Jiang Ruhui said seriously: "Brother, you know my hearing. The man crawled through the pipes above, and then stopped above Yan Mengshi's room. When I left, he crawled away again. ”

What a surprise! Ouyang Fan couldn't stay stunned. He believed in Jiang Ruhui's hearing. But Jiang Ruhui didn't dare to be sure that person was Qiu Jichang. Who could it be, and why crawling in the pipes of the canopy? Is it supervising Yan Mengshi? Or do you want to look for an opportunity to rape her or steal from her?

Ouyang Fan hurriedly said: "Ruhui, you stay in the car and don't move, brother has to go into the building immediately." “

Jiang Ruhui was worried: "Brother, you have to be careful!" “

Ouyang Fan only waved his hand and got out of the car.

As he walked, he thought, could it really be Qiu Jichang, who would crawl in the pipes? It's incredible! Maybe Qiu Jichang is complicated, or maybe he is the killer who once attacked Wu Guozhang and has not yet been identified, right? Besides, why did Jiang Ruhui say that Qiu Jichang was his intelligence enemy? It's also quite fresh. Where did Jiang Ruhui see that Qiu Jichang was a rival in love!

Ouyang Fan hurriedly entered the building. He saw at a glance that Qiu Jichang was still sitting on the edge of the café, but he was no longer drinking coffee, but reading a newspaper with him. What about that Coach Lu, where is he?

Ouyang Fan didn't have time to think about it, ignored Qiu Jichang, and went straight to the elevator. Only then did I remember: Yan Mengshi took Qian Ruhui just now. Why didn't you take the elevator and go up to the second floor?

On the tenth floor, Yan Mengshi's room was No. 1008. Ouyang Fan hesitated, took a few quick steps, and knocked on the door of room 1021. A man of thirty-one or two years old opened the door, and it was his friend, Li Gong, a sociologist from the provincial capital. Li Gong was a little surprised: "Ouyang Fan? ”

Ouyang Fan stepped into the door and closed the door. He looked up at the ceiling of the house, and there was a cover in the corner of the house, about half a meter square. Underneath the lid is a table. Ouyang Fan brought a chair, put it on the table, and said to Li Gong, "You help me hold on a little, I want to go up to the lid to take a look." ”

Li Gong smiled: "Ouyang Fan, what are you tossing again?" ”

"You don't care!"

Ouyang Fan stood on a chair and pushed the lid of the ceiling open. He poked his head in, and there was indeed a pipe in the mouth, but it was black and couldn't see clearly. He asked Li Gong if he had a flashlight, and Li Gong replied that the hotel did not prepare this. He took out his phone and called up the flashlight function inside. The flashlight was very bright, and the light shone in, but I saw that the pipe was quite long and empty, and I couldn't see it clearly from a distance. He retracted his head and smiled at Li Gong: "Brother Li, I'm going to climb in and do some reconnaissance." Please Brother Li will help me keep it secret. ”

Li Gong laughed: "Confidentiality? I can't keep it a secret. If you climb in and steal chickens, or even assault women, can I keep it a secret? ”

Ouyang Fan also laughed: "Do you think I have the ability to do that kind of thing?" ”

Without waiting for an answer, he climbed in.

The pipes are narrow and the air is somewhat dull. Ouyang Fan crawled slowly, trying not to make a sound. But there was no one anywhere. Perhaps, Jiang Ruhui really heard it wrong, right?

He finally made it to the top of room 1008. He stopped, listening to the voice. He heard that Yan Mengshi was talking on the phone in the house, chatting with a girl about clothes and so on. Ouyang Fan gritted his teeth in his heart: This guy that Jiang Ruhui heard was really despicable and shameless. Climbing into this pipe, you can indeed eavesdrop, peek and even violate Yan Mengshi. He must be caught!

Ouyang Fan's eyes looked forward and he was suddenly taken aback. Ahead, not far away, there was a faint figure lying there. Is it the thief? Ouyang Fan raised his vigilance, and the electric light of the mobile phone shone directly through, and finally saw that it was indeed a person, lying there, not moving. Did you hear someone go into the pipe, he was pretending to be a dead dog?

Ouyang Fan decided to go. He crawled slowly, getting closer and closer to the man in front of him. The man's head was pointed at this side. Ouyang Fan saw clearly that it was a young man, probably only twenty-four or five years old. Ouyang Fan asked in a low voice, "Who are you?" The man did not answer, but remained still.

"Ah, is it a dead man?" Ouyang Fan was agitated in his heart, and he didn't dare to climb forward anymore. Although Ouyang Fan was very bold, reason told him that he could not go rashly. He shone his flashlight on the man, bald, round on the top of his head...... Ouyang Fan almost shouted: he found blood, and there was obvious blood at the corner of his mouth!

Ouyang Fan exited the pipeline and immediately called the police.

The Beichen Hotel shook. There was a person found in the canopy pipes, and he had just been poisoned and unconscious, which was terrifying. The police quickly came and carried the man out of the pipe, and he fell into a deep coma and could not wake up for a while, and the doctor examined him and found that he had inhaled poison gas. The police found out that the man's name was Yue Linfeng, 25 years old this year, from the city, who owned a small grocery store on the street and hired a little girl to help him run it. And he often wanders around the real estate agency market, is very interested in the agency business, and obviously wants to develop in this direction.

He entered the North Star Hotel with a real estate agent. The agent went to the second floor to visit a few friends from out of town. In the middle of the conversation, Yue Linfeng seemed to have received a phone call, so he left the room, and he didn't go back for a long time, and no one paid attention. Because he's just a helper, it's insignificant. Footage from the hallway shows him entering the bathroom in the middle of the 10th floor and never coming out. After reconnaissance, it was found that he had climbed into the pipe through the cover of the bathroom ceiling. But after crawling for a short time, he was poisoned in the pipe.

The police found out that the poison was not brought by him, but was in the pipe, and someone had scattered it at the bottom of the pipe beforehand. After Yue Linfeng climbed in, he was passing by the place less than ten centimeters wide where the poison was released, and his mouth was contaminated with poison, and he fell into a coma.

Fortunately, Ouyang Fan crawled over from the room where Li Gong lived, and after discovering Yue Linfeng, he crawled back to call the police, otherwise he might also be infected with poison.

Who put this poison, and was it placed on purpose? But how did the poisoner know that Yue Lin was crawling in the pipe?

The investigation of the people who came into contact with Yue Linfeng found no suspicious persons. Checking his telephone communication records, it was found that in the past five days, he had received two mysterious overseas phone calls. The last time it was half an hour before he entered the pipe. The police call the phone back, but the phone is turned off. Yue Linfeng, an ordinary young man who has never been abroad, how could he have contact with people outside the country? Why did he get into the pipe?

When he crawled on the roof of the ceiling, the guests of all the rooms he passed were questioned, but no one knew Yue Linfeng. Some of the residents, including Yan Mengshi, had never heard any movement on the ceiling.

Ouyang Fan asked Li Gong to tell the police that he heard the sound above the ceiling first, so Ouyang Fan lifted the roof of the ceiling and found the poisoner. This became the official statement, but Ouyang Fan secretly told Lu Zhijun that the voice on the ceiling was first heard by Jiang Ruhui, and she suspected that it was Qiu Jichang at first. But Qiu Jichang stayed at the edge of the café and did not move. Therefore, Jiang Ruhui's suspicion is wrong.

All this, I'm afraid, can only be further verified when the poisoned person wakes up.
