At noon the next day, Lazy San, who was still tormented by a headache after a hangover, was dragged to the basement by Sister Wang. Because Sister Wang was going there to get something, but the superstitious peasant woman was convinced that the first case must be the work of evil spirits, so she did not dare to go down alone, even at noon.

"The yang energy of a man's family is always a little stronger." She said so.

Lazy San had no choice but to accompany her to the basement, but the closer she got closer, the more she felt that her hairs stood on end. He wanted to leave immediately, but he didn't, because he didn't want to be called unworthy of a man. And more importantly, this small building is where he has lived for half his life, there has never been a supernatural event, and he does not believe that ghosts will appear for no reason; This is also all his source of livelihood, and there must be no accident, and even if something happens, he must deal with it as soon as possible.

There was a light at the entrance to the basement, but it was never changed after it broke, but fortunately it was a sunny day, so it was only a little dim.

A crisp sound of 'bang' suddenly came, which was even more alarming in the empty space, startling the lazy Sanyi. Sister Wang, who was walking in front, also stopped with a chuckle, allowing Lazy San to almost hit her back.

"What's wrong?" Lazy San was a little annoyed, only to find out that the crisp sound was made by Sister Wang dropping a bunch of keys on the ground, "It's really scary, scared to death!" ”

"Door-door-" Sister Wang pointed to the front, only said these two words, her voice trembled, and her footsteps couldn't move.

Lazy San looked forward and saw that the basement door was open, and there were a few pieces of dark paper scattered on the ground.

Since the police surveyed the scene and returned this place to him, he has been locked here, and locked it several times, otherwise Sister Wang would not have taken such a large set of keys. But at this time, the door was open intact, and the few pieces of paper were even more incomprehensible, his parents died early, and no one had died in this place for twenty years, where did the paper come from?

Just when he was stunned, Sister Wang suddenly understood, 'Ah' screamed, turned around and ran, and actually knocked Lazy San to a stumbling ground and almost fell.

For a moment, he also wanted to follow Sister Wang and escape, but the strange thing was that he didn't run in the end, and I don't know what kind of mentality it was, maybe it was just an inexplicable attraction that made him slowly lean over.

When I got to the door, I felt that something was shaking in the shadows, and there was a creaking sound coming slowly, which made Lazy San's legs weak, and he almost sat on the ground.

A cold sweat fell, and he didn't know whether to run away or go in to see what was going on. He froze there for a long time, and saw that the images and voices were still echoing through the empty room, regular, steady, unhurried, that is, there was no sign of stopping and nothing terrible coming out of it, and curiosity could not help but prevail.

In broad daylight, there can be no ghosts!

Thinking like this, Lazy San slowly poked his head out to see what he understood.

Bright light from the outside poured in from the shabby, narrow skylight, and the light that entered the room was dim because of the dirty hemp glass, giving the room a stale smell both inside and out. A beam of light happened to fall on the bed where the murder had taken place, and there was a man lying on his back on that bed, covered with a thick quilt, not moving at all, except for his head, as quiet as if he were dead.

Or just dead.

Moreover, in the middle of the winter, the sturdy old-fashioned ceiling fan in the middle of the room was turned on, and it was slowly turning, and the light, shadow and sound all came from it.

Or rather, from the naked woman hanging from the ceiling fan.

When Lazy San poked his head out to watch, it happened that the woman hanging on the ceiling fan turned to face him, so that he could recognize at a glance that this girl was the girl he met yesterday at the entrance of the third floor.

At this time, her face was blue, bleeding, her tongue was sticking out, and her eyes were protruding and staring at the comer!

Lazy San gasped, and ran out with a roll, not caring about the image of the man he wanted to re-establish, nor the future reputation of the hotel, and shouted: "Kill again!" It's another death! ”

This time, when the police came, because it was noon, there were more onlookers, but people couldn't get any exact information, only to see Lazy San sitting on the stone bench in front of the small flower garden and muttering to himself, "This is recruiting a good brother, so scourge me, deliberately block my way of life!" So miserable, so miserable -- I don't know if he said he was miserable or the victim was miserable.

But in any case, his hotel will not be able to open for the time being. And for the police, the anxious thing has been added to this one, the last locked room murder case had no clue at all, and this time although it was not so 'technical', it did not leave any traces of the crime.

The girl also had sex before she was killed, not raped, but with her boyfriend. But when she died, she was also naked, and her body was also covered with bruised, irregular small handprints, and she was also suffocated and frightened to death, but the process of her suffocation was more obvious, and she was hanged alive.

The boy lying on the bed was covered with a quilt, and although he realized that there would be a more terrible and disgusting scene under the quilt, he still did not expect that to be the scene - the boy was dissected, the entire chest cavity was opened, and all the internal organs were replaced. His blood had dried up, and it had all seeped into the thick bedding.

Were they killed at the same time, or did they come first? Why was there five people upstairs at the time, but none of them heard the call for help and still didn't resist? Why was there an act of indecency against a female deceased but no rape? Why didn't the lock on the door force open, and what about that dark paper? Is it deliberately evocative or does it have another meaning?

This seems to be a series of crimes from the previous case, but I don't have a clue about the suspect, and I don't understand why he chose this hotel to start with a young couple?

And these two cases are not only murderous, they are simply perverted!

"I think it's the work of a patient with a perverted personality." A police officer said at an analytical meeting.

"But consider the small size of that handprint, so his strength does not match the normal physiology of humans." Another said.

"And where is the murder weapon in the second case? Why are there no clues at all? Know that there is no such thing as perfect murder! "One more.

"It's not human!" This is their initial conclusion beyond the technical aspects.

As a result, the case became unsolved again. Then the winter holidays and the New Year came one after another, and the lover's hotel did not open again for two months.

＆＆＆＆＆＆

After the New Year, Xiao Xia received a new task, that is, the branch of Boheng Group, a large enterprise in the city, had some legal business to handle in City A, and he was unwilling to hire a local lawyer who he did not trust very much, so he asked Changkong Law Firm to assign a lawyer to be the legal representative and consultant for two months.

Boheng Group is an old client of Changkong Law Firm, of course, it cannot be denied, but the lawyers in the firm either have important cases at hand, or are people who lead the family, so they can only send Yue Xiaoxia, a lonely 'marginal person', to undertake this task.

"The work is very simple, but you get a lot of money, you have been taking on criminal cases recently, and now you can take the opportunity to relax and sightsee, I heard that the natural and cultural landscapes of City A are good." said the director.

Xiao Xia nodded.

She was not resistant to the job, because it was a relatively easy job, and although it would make the rest of the office say that she was favored by the director, she was ready to accept it.

She just thought about going to other places to relax and adjust her emotions, and there was such a great opportunity to hit her head, of course, she had to catch it without hesitation. Who made her shit luck born good!

It's been two months since the Christmas incident, and she still doesn't feel so unnatural that she doesn't dare to go to the Night Returner Bar to check it out.

What a shame this is!

When he mustered up the courage and made a cryptic confession, he realized that he had only regarded himself as a friend. Friends are friends, at most she buries her feelings in her heart. What's the big deal about having a crush -- think about it, you like someone, but he doesn't know it, isn't it romantic? If you like people, they are not obligated to accept them. She understands this truth and can accept it, but it is too embarrassing to put an oolong, she only hopes that he does not understand what she means, so that she will be a little better.

However, he is so smart and perceptive, how can he not understand!

This thought remained in Xiao Xia's consciousness, making her hide everything related to Ruan Zhan like a thief, although she wanted to see him so much, so much to see his eyes that were sometimes distant and sometimes gentle.

She got home and was packing her things for a business trip when her phone rang. Her heart was about to jump out when she saw the number displayed on it, it was the phone number of the night homecoming bar.

She took several deep breaths nervously before answering the phone, but the voice on the other end of the line relaxed her again.

It turned out to be Liu Tie and Ni Yang, two guys from the Night Returnee Bar. They went home for a while because of the winter vacation, during which Ruan Zhan hired local college students as temporary partners, and replaced them again after the winter vacation.

As soon as they came back, they clamored to meet Sister Xiaoxia, but because they had classes during the day and Xiaoxia worked during the day, they had to invite Xiaoxia to meet at the bar at night.

Listening to Xiao Xia's weak push, Ni Yang, who could speak well, said: "No, Sister Xiao Xia, you must come, I brought you souvenirs from my hometown." If you don't come, people's hearts will hurt their livers, not to mention how heavy they are. ”

"Also, and-" Liu Tie grabbed the phone, "I've had a crush on Sister Xiaoxia for so many years, why don't you come and comfort me about my lovesickness!" ”

Xiao Xia laughed, it's really okay to take these two boys!

Ni Yang has always been poor-mouthed, Liu Tie was originally a little shy, and after being silent for a while after the Bloody Mary incident, he later became cheerful and lively for some reason.

Wanli said that this is called inner level character mining!

There was no way, Xiao Xia couldn't help these two boys, and finally agreed. In fact, in her heart, what she wanted to see was another person, the one who made her fidget. After all, she was going on a business trip to City A, and she was going to be so far away from him, but she lied to herself that she was forced by those two boys.

Wan Li said: People always love to deceive themselves, because it is easier to deceive others than to deceive others.
