Chapter XVII
"Is there anyone on the other side of the phone?"
"Iā" I was afraid that someone from the emergency center would hang up the phone, and I looked anxious and tried to make a sound with my mouth open.
It felt like I had been through a long and torturous century, and it took me a while to find my voice and explain the situation succinctly and clearly to the person on the other end of the line.
"Okay, I'll contact the police center and go together." Hearing this, I was secretly relieved as if I had taken a reassuring pill.
After hanging up the phone, I subconsciously glanced at the physical education teacher who was still lying motionless, and the smell of blood in the air at this time seemed to be not as choking as it was just now.
Although I had only waited for 10 minutes before the ambulance arrived, those 10 minutes were unprecedented for me.
"Hello, are you Shen Si'er who called the police just now?" Looking at the PE teacher who was surrounded by paramedics, I nodded to the policeman who asked me.
"If you can, after the scene investigation is completed, you need to cooperate with our police to go back to the police station to record a statement." I didn't bother to listen to what the policeman was saying to me, and the most important thing for me at the moment was the extent of the PE teacher's injuries.
"Quick, go get the oxygen ball." The group of medical staff gathered around the physical education teacher shouted in the direction of the ambulance. Immediately after that, I saw a nurse wearing a mask hurrying over there with a small box in her right hand.
This time, I'm afraid there will be less bad luck.
Although I had expected that the PE teacher might die, I still had a hint of hope that she would live.
After all, now if you want to investigate the real culprit behind the murder of Teacher Fang, the physical education teacher will become a key breakthrough point.
Half an hour later, a man in a white lab coat hurried up to me and shook his head regretfully at me.
He raised his hand and took off the end of the mask, and said to me with a serious expression: "I'm sorry, in fact, when I arrived at the scene, the patient was no longer breathing and heartbeat, and we rescued her for half an hour, but it didn't work at all, we have tried our best." ā
I took a deep breath and forced myself to accept this indisputable fact. The death of a physical education teacher must not be so simple.
"Anyway, thank you." I bowed respectfully to him and watched him turn away.
"Miss Shen, please come here." I twisted my hair and realized that it was the policeman who had just spoken to me, and under his guidance, I got into the police car.
When I came to the police station again, I was not as repulsed as I was the first time.
It was a policewoman who recorded my confession, and she spoke very softly, so I didn't feel a trace of nervousness.
By the time I came out of the police station to record my confession, it was already dark. Looking at the hurried passers-by in front of me, I suddenly felt an inexplicable melancholy.
Maybe it was because I watched the PE teacher being hit by a car in front of me, and I couldn't do anything about it, until after I recorded the confession, as soon as I closed my eyes, the face of the PE teacher's tragic death would appear in my mind, lingering.
Somewhat disappointed, I returned to Mr. Wang's house, sat on the sofa and counted the money I had left, and found that I would not last more than a few days, and I would be starving to the streets.
After thinking about it, I decided to go out and find a temporary job.
Maybe it was because so much had happened today, I lay on the bed after taking a shower, and I fell asleep as soon as my head touched the pillow.
In order to find a suitable job as soon as possible, I went out early the next morning and searched around. Around noon, I accidentally saw at the door of a small hotel that said that I wanted to recruit waiters, and I glanced at the salary and treatment above, and found that it was surprisingly high, 10,000 a month, and four days off a month.
I naturally thought about it, after all, the waiters in big hotels don't have such high salaries.
I raised my head and glanced at the hotel in front of me, the hotel didn't look big, even a little dilapidated, the white walls outside, some of them had fallen off and I could see the cement walls inside.
Standing in the doorway, I craned my neck through the thick glass door, trying to see what it was like inside.
"Excuse me, are you staying in the hotel or?"
I turned my head to see a fat man standing behind me, looking me up and down with suspicious eyes.
"I... I saw this on the top of the shake recruiting waiter, so I wanted to try it. ā
In order to prevent myself from being recognized by him as a suspicious thief, I hurriedly explained to him the purpose of my standing here. Seeing that his eyes weren't as sharp as they used to be, I knew he might have let down his guard against me.
"I'm the owner of this store, and since you're here to apply, come in with me."
I nervously lowered my head and walked in after him, taking in the surroundings from time to time to make sure no one was at ease. The main thing is that he is the kind of person who specializes in recruiting waiters at a high price to do that kind of thing, and he can't get out as soon as he comes in.
For now, however, these fears appear to be unfounded.
Then I followed the boss into a room, and as soon as I entered the door, a faint smell of dust rushed to my face, which made the tip of my nose itch and sneeze.
I covered my mouth and carefully scanned the surrounding furnishings, although from the outside it looks like the facilities in this hotel must be very old, but only when you walk in will you find that this small hotel, although the sparrows are small, all kinds of organs.
"I want to explain to you in advance that the working hours of this work are from 10 o'clock in the evening to 8 o'clock the next morning, and you can't leave the hotel during the whole process."
"I can accept the boss, but the salary is ......" To be honest, the salary of a small hotel is surprisingly high, and I still don't believe it.
The boss sat down on the chair and smiled at me with a friendly smile: "You can rest assured of this, if you are willing to stay, I will make an exception to give you a daily salary, what do you think?" ā
"Huh?" I was stunned, thinking that there really would be such a good thing in the world? But think about what I lack most at the moment is money, if it can be better every day, isn't it just to stay up all night, what is this!
I happily made an agreement with my boss, who told me to come to work tonight.
After dinner in the evening, I hurried to the hotel to work part-time, but I didn't expect the boss to stand at the front desk early to wait for me, and also very intimate to hand over the hotel waiter's uniform to me.
"Boss, don't worry, I'll do a good job." I gladly took the uniform from him and looked at him with a sworn oath.
"I forgot to tell you one thing in the morning, don't get involved with any customers when you go to work in the evening, or you'll get involved in something very troublesome." Seeing that his expression suddenly became very serious when he said this, I chuckled in my heart, and suddenly a sense of foreboding arose.
However, since he has promised his boss to work here, he is embarrassed to suddenly tell him that he will not do it at this time, otherwise he will be mistaken for a person who does not keep his promises.
"Okay, boss."
"I've hit your card for today's salary."
When I heard about the salary, I was overjoyed.
After the boss left, I immediately took out my mobile phone and looked at it, and sure enough, there was a message about the balance change of the card, but what I didn't expect was that the balance displayed on the text message was 400. This card didn't have a penny before that, so 400 is my day's salary?
Excited, I changed into my uniform and stood in the lobby with a professional smile on my lips waiting for customers to arrive.
I thought that this small hotel should not have guests coming in to stay at the hotel, but it didn't take long for me to meet a very strange guest.
"New here?"
Standing in front of the counter, I was distracted, and when I heard the voice, I realized that there was a tall man standing in front of me at some point. He wears a black tuxedo hat on his head, a very black trench coat, and even the boots on his feet are the same color.
Although I have seen some people who like to dress up in fancy clothes, they like to dress up differently, but now in the hot summer, the man covers himself tightly from head to toe, and even wears black gloves on his hands, only revealing a pair of bloodshot eyes staring at me, the moment they look at each other, my heart can't help but tremble, and I have an invisible fear of him.
"Do you want housing or .." I swallowed hard and mustered up the courage to speak to him.
The man, however, didn't answer my question, just looked me from head to toe and then spat out three words at me.
"It's funny."
Interesting? What's interesting? Could it be that you are wearing the wrong uniform?
I looked down at what I was wearing with a blank look on my face, and I didn't see anything wrong. When I looked up again, the man disappeared in front of my eyes as if he had never been before.
Later, I heard from other colleagues that the strange guest before was a guest who had stayed at the hotel for a long time, and as for the origin, they were not very clear.
In the middle of the night, I was sitting at the front desk with my head drowsy, and I was suddenly awakened by a phone ringing.
I rubbed my face a little and raised my hand to pick up the phone from the upstairs guest.
"The TV in this room I live in suddenly broke down, can you come up and help me take a look?"
I don't sleep in the middle of the night, what TV I watch...
Although I secretly resented this, after all, the customer is God, and even if you are sleepy, you still have to go upstairs to see it yourself.
When I got to the door, I tried to knock on the door, but found it hidden.
Confused, I cautiously pushed open the door, but the moment I looked up, I met a pair of bloodshot eyes.
I was suffocated, and my whole body stiffened in one position, and it took me a long time to react that the phone call was actually made by that strange guest, and a trace of fear came over me at the thought of this.
I took a deep breath and tried to calm myself down.
