The woman who suddenly appeared was none other than Li Yu, who had been separated for several days. Next to Li Yu, there was also a man about 30 years old who wore glasses and a black suit, and looked like an elite in the business world.

As if he didn't expect me to be here, Li Yu's brows couldn't help frowning slightly, glanced at me, and didn't say anything more. I froze, looking a little overwhelmed, feeling something weird, but I just couldn't put it into words.

When I looked around, there were seven people, including me. The shrewd shopkeeper was so happy at once that he had a smile on his face all the time, and he forgot to introduce me to the room, and first turned around and took the cylindrical cover from the back shelf. The hood is generally like this, with a circular plank on top of it, and a circle is cut off in the middle, which is called a concentric circle from a mathematical point of view. And at the edge of the largest circle, the black cloth that falls vertically is attached. It's like a conical pocket that swells slightly towards the periphery.

Under my surprised gaze, the shopkeeper slowly explained. There are seven things in this big pocket, exactly the same for each person, and the things drawn will be discounted accordingly on the price card. Perhaps out of joy, the shopkeeper joined the team.

I didn't want to participate, but I looked at everyone and looked a little interested, and it was hard to refuse. As if drawing lots, he reached into the cloth bag and took out a hairpin from it. Looking along the hands of the others, I saw that the young couple was holding balloons; The strong man with a gold chain holds a bullet casing in his hand; The well-mannered business elite has a button battery in his hand; The working woman is holding a plastic ring in her hand; Li Yu held a white handkerchief in his hand; In the end, the shopkeeper himself took out a playing card old K.

The game ends here. The shopkeeper didn't say anything, waved his hand to signal us to pick up what we had taken out of the sack, and tapped the calculator there. When I looked at the price card and paid, I was slightly stunned, and there was not much discount!

Seeing the confused gaze I handed over, the shopkeeper raised his head slightly, patted the banknote in his hand lightly, smiled at me, and smiled: "Sleep well", and did not forget to raise his eyebrows at me as he spoke.

Maybe it was because of the face problem, or maybe it was because it was raining heavily outside, and they were very tired from being tossed before, and everyone was a little tired, so they didn't say anything, each holding their own number plates, and left in a hurry.

When I walked to the bottom of a porch, there were only me and Li Yu left. At this moment, it was pouring rain outside, and it seemed very impatient, and there was no tendency to stop at all. Seeing that Li Yu was standing there with his back to me, he didn't leave in a hurry, obviously as if he had something to say to me.

I walked over with the whole person, I didn't even see Li Yu's face, and just as I was about to speak, Li Yu had already walked forward first, and said in a low voice: "Be careful!" ”。

The short three words made my heart feel inexplicably warm. Then she was slightly stunned, did she know something when she said this? Why is she here? A series of thoughts whizzed through my mind, and by the time I woke up, Li Yu had already disappeared in front of my eyes.

Number one. I held my key card, and walked to my door in a trance, and when I was about to open the door, I heard a trace of "harmony" in my ears. Next to me, room two, happened to be where the young couple lived.

Soothing the restless emotions in my heart, I slowly inserted the key into the keyhole, and the whole person walked in. Maybe there are very few people who come to stay here, and there is a little bit of dust on the whole bed.

With nothing to do, and no sleepiness in my mind, I leaned back in my chair while listening to the sound of the rainstorm outside the window, and my thoughts began to drift into the distance unconsciously. Before I knew it, I was slowly falling asleep. It wasn't until I felt a chill on my neck that I woke up.

I half-opened my eyes and looked at the watch in my hand, and the time had already passed to eight o'clock in the evening. It was still pouring rain outside, and I stretched my slightly sore waist, and my eyes suddenly froze, and at the window in front of me, a black shadow suddenly crossed by.

I was startled, opened the door and walked out. The empty surroundings under the porch seemed very quiet. Just as I was about to return to my room, not far away, a woman's scream suddenly sounded, which swept through the night.

Time stood still in this moment.

The lights around that had not been turned off and had been turned off were all turned on, and Li Yu, who came out, glanced at me, and then walked towards the source of the sound. Seeing this, I followed closely.

A trace of blood gradually came from the empty surroundings, and I vaguely felt that something bad was happening, and my eyes fell unnaturally to a clearing in front of me.

There, the whole ground was drenched in blood. A white bag seemed to be covered with something, leaning against the nearest shopkeeper, and the whole face suddenly became bitter, and an urge to vomit directly lingered in my mind.

The white-collar beauty who was beautiful before, her clothes were torn all over her body, and there were countless more knife marks, and her clean face was almost unrecognizable. If it weren't for the remaining pieces of clothes, and the only person missing, it's hard to judge.

I tried not to look at the corpse, but moved unnaturally to the periphery. Next to a deserted oil drum, I found an extra plastic ring on the ground, which was exactly what the white-collar beauty had drawn before, and the center of the ring was facing the direction where the white-collar man was lying, "All this is just a coincidence, or is there some unusual hint?" ”。 I silently put the plastic ring in my arms and slowly stood up.

The strong man, who was still slightly drunk before, has already sobered up at this time. Seeing that everyone was looking at him in unison, he suddenly yelled, "What are you all looking at me for, I didn't kill her, it's not me."

Calm down! Li Yu said lightly, and took out the pistol directly, the strong man who was still manic just now, saw the cold muzzle, facing him, and thought that Li Yu was a criminal policeman or something, and immediately closed his mouth obediently, and after seeing Li Yu's face softened, he lowered his voice, cried with a sad face, and said: "Policeman, I didn't kill people, you can't wronged good people!" ”。

Don't talk nonsense!

With Li Yu's scolding, the surroundings suddenly became quiet. Immediately after Li Yu's signal, everyone began to walk towards the main hall of the hotel. Then, Li Yu handed me a pistol and said in a low voice: "Xiao Ke, now only you and I can find out the person behind it, no matter what kind of purpose that person has."

I silently took the pistol, looked at Li Yu's meticulous face, was slightly stunned for a moment, and then turned my back to Li Yu's other side, and walked slowly with the pistol, and I couldn't help but have a question in my mind: What kind of connection does all this have with me coming here?
