Chapter 493: The Invisible Hostel
The boss took us to this position, which was against the wall and on the side was a staircase on which the camel was tied and the back was facing the street. Day. The boss stood against the wall, and Xu Yi stood on the periphery. So Xu Yi is facing the boss with his face and the street with his back.
I stood where Xu Yi was standing and looked around. The reason why Xu Yi followed the strange man in red may be because of compulsion. Maybe it's because the weirdo in red gave Xu Yi some kind of promise, such as avenging Xu Rongzheng, etc., so Xu Yi will follow the weirdo in red for the time being, but this doesn't mean that Xu Yi is voluntary.
I have always thought that Xu Yi embarked on this path for a reason, therefore, even if the stranger in red is strategic, he will not dare to let Xu Yi mess around alone, he will definitely keep an eye on Xu Yi all the time, Xu Yi is very smart, if she really doesn't want to follow the stranger in red anymore, she will definitely try her best to let the police or me know some kind of clue.
If there is negligence, Xu Yi may cause unprecedented trouble to the red-clothed weirdos. So I'm even more sure that when Xu Yi went to the camel shop, someone was definitely watching Xu Yi in the dark. According to previous speculation, it is inconvenient for people to appear in the public eye and give Xu Yi tips on their mobile phones. Most likely the Monster in Red.
The costume of the strange man in red was destined to make it impossible for him to go out in the daytime, and I stood where Xu Yi stood that day, and looked in the direction of the street, where there was a whole private house. Every house here is inhabited, so it's almost impossible for the red-clad weirdos to hide in those houses.
I looked to my side again, and finally, I saw a hostel, which was small, only two floors, and some of the windows were still lit. Some were pitch black. In the case where Xu Yi is almost certain that he is being watched and that the watcher may be a red-clad eccentric, it is more likely that the red-clad eccentric is hiding in a hostel than in a private house.
There are not many immigrants in Fanshi, so it is not particularly profitable to open a hostel in the local area. Because there are not many people living in hostels. After thanking the owner, Sybael and I quickly ran towards the hostel. According to the angle of view, there are only about four or five rooms that can be monitored in the camel shop.
I already knew that even if Xu Yi and the strange man in red were hiding in this hostel at the time, they would have already left by now, after all, the police have carried out a relatively close investigation in this area. When we arrived at the inn, Sayor expressed his intention to the innkeeper, and after a long period of communication, the innkeeper finally agreed to take us to the rooms on the second floor of the inn.
The owner of the inn said that there were no strange people staying here at all, and the police had also come here to search for it.
The innkeeper said as he opened the doors one by one, and the lights were dimmed in all the rooms, and the innkeeper told Sayroel that the rooms had not been inhabited for a long time, only one of them had been inhabited recently, and that the man had checked out without saying hello to him a few days ago.
What Sailor relayed on behalf of the innkeeper immediately caught my attention, and we asked the owner to take us to the room. As soon as the hostel was opened, I walked in as soon as possible, the owner turned on the light, and after a closer look, this room was no different from other rooms, and the futon had been replaced by the innkeeper.
"Séran, ask the boss if the person renting this room is a man or a woman." I said.
After inquiry, the owner of the hostel said that it was a man who rented the room.
"Ask again, whether it's a local or an outsider." I asked again.
This time, the innkeeper's answer made me completely sure that Xu Yi and they were hiding in this room in the first place! The owner of the hostel said that the room was rented by a man from the border province wearing local clothes, short hair. The man rented a room and left the hostel, and the innkeeper did not notice that he had returned until late at night.
It wasn't until he heard a sound in the room that the boss confirmed that the room was occupied, and the innkeeper thought that the man who rented the room had entered the hostel when he wasn't paying attention, so he didn't think much about it. Asked even more, the innkeeper had never seen a man in the few days that the room had been rented.
It wasn't until a few days later that the police came to the hostel to investigate, and the owner found out that the people inside did not know when they had left the hostel. This is very suspicious, and I speculate that the man who rented the house was just a stand-in for Xu Yi and the strange man in red.
Whether it's the red-clad weirdo or Xu Yi himself coming to rent a room, it may attract the attention of the boss, which will increase the likelihood of them being exposed. Therefore, the best way is to temporarily spend money to find someone to rent a house for them, just rent a room to get a sum of money, people who are hungry for profit will do it for them, just rent a room and do not break the law, who will think more.
After the man rented the house, he must have gone to hand over the keys to Xu Yi.
When I entered the hostel, I observed the terrain here, and like the hostel where I found people, there are windows on both sides of the corridor, and there are no people on either side, so it is unlikely that people will be spotted when they appear there at night. So Xu Yi and the others must have entered the hostel at night through both sides of the hostel.
Perhaps because the most dangerous place is the safest, they chose the hostel here.
The reason for this determination is definitely not just my simple speculation, but also the evidence to support it. Very few people stayed, and the owner of the hostel was too lazy to clean it, and the bedding was changed, but the owner didn't have time to clean all the floors of the room. I refused to spare any corner of the room, and finally, upon closer inspection, I found a few hairs.
The hair is very long, nine times out of ten is a woman's hair, very few men will have such long hair, and the boss said that the man who came to rent a house had short hair, and the last time he cleaned it seriously was a month ago, but after that, no one came to rent a house except for men. So this hair is worth scrutinizing.
The hair is very thin, which is very similar to Xu Yi's hair type, so I am even more sure of my assumptions.
I walked to the window and pushed it open, and there was just enough time to see the camel shop, and if the red-clad weirdo was here to observe, all of Xu Yi's actions would be in his hands. After Xu Yi was discovered by the police, he immediately fled, and before the police conducted a large-scale search, the red-clothed stranger escaped through both sides of the corridor, ran to a place where no one was there to meet Xu Yi, and then ran to a place where the police could not find it to hide again, which is not impossible.
After all, I know the speed of the strange man in red, and this is not difficult for him, just imagine, how can a person who has escaped the police and me many times not have his own means and support.
Continuing to search the hotel, the innkeeper was completely impatient and wanted to drive us away. I told Sybal to continue with the innkeeper, and I quickened the search, and just as I was about to be disappointed, my eyes glanced at the calendar on the wall.
The calendar is marked with a mark, and the date 10 is circled by a pen.
I made a secret note that there was no way for Sébal to negotiate any further, and we had to go to the hostel. When I went out, Sybael also noticed that I was staring at the calendar. I asked Sépel if the date 10 was circled, and he didn't understand what it meant. The calendar was hung on the wall by the hostel itself, it was relatively new, and recently, that room was only occupied by people who suspected Xu Yi and the strange man in red, so it is likely that the mark was left by them.
My investigation of the weirdo in red is getting tighter and tighter, and it is naturally unlikely that the weirdo in red left any mark on me, so it is likely that the mark was secretly left by Xu Yi! Ask for a dumb brother.
However, I didn't understand what that meant. To my disappointment, Sypar didn't know either; I thought it might have something to do with the local customs, but now it doesn't seem to be the case.
Sailor scratched his head: "Brother, although I don't know about your police, this calendar, it is likely that some travelers marked it casually because they wanted to remind themselves." ”
I sighed, I still don't think the calendar was easy.
I thought all the way back to the camel shop, and I came to the camel shop not just to investigate Xu Yi's whereabouts.
