Tale 3: The Evil Spirit by the Lake Chapter 17 The Unexpected Comeback
"Dido-Di-Doo-Di-Doo-Di-Doo......"
- It's the sound of sirens. Well? Sirens?
Wei Xiaofeng opened his eyes, and his sleepiness disappeared all at once. She sat up from her bed, the light coming through the cracks in the curtains to indicate that it was already dawn.
The sirens faded away, and the room was quiet, no, no, there was an occasional slight snoring wafting through the air. The snoring came from the sofa opposite the foot of the bed, and the source of the sound was Wu Yun, who was in the same room as her but could only sleep on the sofa aggrievedly.
Wei Xiaofeng touched his slightly swollen head, and his mouth was dry and bitter. She reached out and picked up the mineral water next to the bed, unscrewed the lid and put it to her mouth and took two small sips. The cool water moisturizes the dry walls of the mouth and flows down the throat to bring comfort to the throat. Putting down the bottle of mineral water, she picked up the mobile phone placed at the bedside, the screen lit up, and the time showed that it was half past seven in the morning.
Unknowingly, I slept for nine and a half hours. Xiao Feng silently counted the time, while thinking back to last night in the night stall, she and Wu Yun accompanied the old couple Chen Wendong and Yue Lin, as well as the boss, the proprietress and the boss's younger brother of the night stall, a table of seven people, drinking and talking about nearly ten o'clock. She drank no less than three bottles of beer, although the beer was not high, but it was also the most drunk in Xiao Feng's life, and the whole person felt top-heavy at that time. When she returned to the hotel, she simply washed up and went to sleep. And Wu Yun was red-faced at that time, his steps were a little vain, and his words were not very neat, and he knew that he was about to get drunk at a glance. He didn't seem to have washed up after returning to the hotel room, so he took off his clothes and fell asleep.
Wei Xiaofeng suddenly realized that she was about to wake up because she was disturbed by a siren, she got out of bed, got dressed, and lightly came to the balcony to look out. The police car seemed to drive into the shade of the trees, and it was impossible to see what was happening from above, so they had to give up. She thought that it would be okay to wait for breakfast and leave the hotel, and then ask the others. She hoped that nothing bad would happen, but an ominous cloud suddenly rose in her heart.
She walked back to the house, only to see Wu Yun sleeping on the sofa with a strange posture and a strange expression, which made her laugh, and the gloom in her heart was swept away.
After she went into the bathroom and finished washing, she came to the sofa and gently woke up Wu Yun.
Wu Yun got up half-asleep and drank a whole bottle of mineral water before he cheered up. Then he went to the bathroom to take a shower and wash off the smell of alcohol, packed up his travel equipment, and went out of the room with Xiao Feng.
They came to the door of room 807 next door, and wanted to ask the old couple in the room if they were up. At the moment when they were about to ring the doorbell, they suddenly remembered that today was the death day of the old couple's beloved daughter, and it was not convenient to travel with them, so they turned around and walked to the elevator.
When they went up to the restaurant on the top floor, they found that the old couple was already having breakfast there. They walked to the table and said good morning to the old couple, put down their things, and went to the pick-up area to pick up their meal.
Wu Yun took a bowl of porridge with preserved eggs and lean pork, a fritter and two buns, and Wei Xiaofeng took a cup of freshly ground soybean milk, a boiled egg and half a corn. When they returned to their seats and sat down, the old couple had finished eating. Wei Xiaofeng said slightly apologetically: "Uncle and aunt, I'm sorry, we got up late." ”
Yue Lin smiled kindly: "It's okay." Considering that Xiao Wu drank a lot last night, we wanted you to sleep more, so we didn't ask you to come to breakfast in the morning. ”
Wu Yun and Xiao Feng were already hungry in their stomachs, and they didn't bother to say more, they quickly and neatly wiped out the food in front of them, and then Wu Yun got up and went to the food area to get the food for the second time, and by the way, he helped Xiao Feng bring some back.
"There's a police car coming in around here in the morning, you know?" Wei Xiaofeng asked.
Wu Yun asked first with a puzzled expression: "There is a police car?" When? How did I not know? ”
Wei Xiaofeng gave him a blank look. "I was woken up in the morning by the sound of a siren, and you were still sleeping like a dead pig, of course I don't know."
"Oh." Wu Yun lowered his head and continued to deal with a plate of fried dumplings.
Xiao Feng returned his gaze to the old couple in the seats opposite.
Yue Lin gestured with his finger in the direction of the night stall from the gate of the scenic spot, and said, "There were indeed a few police cars driving over here just now, but we don't know what happened." ”
"When we woke up in the morning, there was some noise down there, and we guess something was wrong." Chen Wendong drank coffee and added with a lot of money.
Wei Xiaofeng stopped asking and continued to fill his stomach.
"Do you have any plans for today?" Yue Lin asked.
Wu Yun devoured the things on the plate, wiped his mouth, and said: "Yesterday, I took a tour of the lake on a painting boat, and I have seen the scenery of the entire lake area. ”
"It's very difficult to walk through these six scenic spots in one day, and it takes at least half a day to go around the largest love painting island in the lake." Yue Lin told Wu Yun about the couple's experience of visiting here in the past few years, "My suggestion is that you go to Love Painting Island in the morning, and you can also go to the Immortal Cliff and Guanyutang in the afternoon, so it won't be too rushed." The other three attractions should be visited tomorrow, anyway, you will only leave on Sunday, so don't be in such a hurry. ”
"Hmm." Wei Xiaofeng nodded and said, "I agree with Auntie's suggestion." The collection of materials is not as good as ordinary tourism, and you can't simply look at it, but you still have to slow down and feel the unique beauty of each scenic spot. ”
Wu Yun took their suggestion, took out a notebook and revised the travel plan.
"Xiao Dong and I won't accompany you today, you know ......" A faint sentimentality appeared on Yue Lin's face.
"It's okay." Wu Yun and Wei Xiaofeng didn't know what to say. The atmosphere was quite depressing.
Chen Wendong coughed lightly, breaking the short suppressed silence. "The facilities on the island are quite complete, and you can solve it there if you can't have lunch before noon. Let's have dinner together, right? Call when the time comes. ”
"Okay." Wei Xiaofeng and Yue Lin had already left each other's phone calls.
"Then let's go back to our room first." Chen Wendong stood up and said, "You guys just left, right?" ”
"Well, because I got up a little late, I was going to leave directly after breakfast, so the preparations for the trip had already been made." Wu Yun also got up and put on his backpack.
"That's not too much, call us anytime if there is any situation."
"Okay."
"Have fun!" The smile returned to Yue Lin's face, but the deep wrinkles looked so kind.
After saying goodbye to the old couple, Wu Yun and Wei Xiaofeng took the elevator down to the lobby on the first floor. At this time, they noticed that there was an eerie atmosphere in the air in the lobby. Yesterday, when they checked in, the hotel staff in the lobby were all in their own places and responsibilities, but today they gathered in small groups one by one, whispering. Although Wu Yun and Wei Xiaofeng couldn't hear what they were talking about clearly, they could guess from the solemn expressions on their faces that what they were talking about must be related to the police car that drove into the depths of the scenic spot in the morning, and something unusual must have happened in the scenic area.
"Hey, hey, hey! What are you doing when you get together? Is the working time for you to chat? Hurry back to your posts, otherwise you will be seen by the guests like something! Hu Jianhua, the hotel manager in a straight suit and a serious face, appeared in the lobby from time to time and scolded his employees with a loud voice.
The staff immediately dispersed, bowed their heads and returned to their rightful positions.
The expression on Hu Jianhua's face was tense, obviously not in a very good mood. When he saw Wu Yun, he immediately changed his smile, but he couldn't see a trace of enthusiasm. "Xiao Wu, good morning. I'm sorry to let you see the joke early in the morning. ”
Wu Yun smiled and shook his head, indicating that he didn't mind.
"Do you have any travel plans for today?"
"Yesterday afternoon, I took a boat to swim around the lake, and in the evening I also went to the night stall. I'm going to go to Love Painting Island this morning. Wu Yun said truthfully, "You can rest assured about the article, the general structure has come out, just wait for the two days to carefully visit a few specific attractions to supplement the content." ”
"That's it......" Hu Jianhua's reaction was not what Wu Yun expected, and his next words made Wu Yun even more confused, "Actually, Xiao Wu, let's put the matter of the article aside for the time being, and try not to leave the hotel if you can leave the hotel today." I'll explain it to you for you. ”
"What the hell is going on? Is there something going on? I just heard that police cars are coming in. ”
"It's true that there was an accident, and I've received news that the police are going to come to our hotel to investigate some of the situation, so ......"
"Since it was just an accident, it shouldn't have much to do with us, and the police won't restrict the freedom of life of the guests in the hotel. This article still has to be written, and you don't have to go to the trouble to explain to him that we don't have to go through the trouble to explain to him, I didn't come here to stay in your hotel for a few days. ”
Hu Jianhua said with an embarrassed face: "Although it is said to be an accident, it is not as simple as you think......
"What the hell is going on? Manager Hu, can you put it bluntly? Wu Yun's awe-inspiring aura as a reporter came up, raised his eyebrows, and asked with a straight face.
“…… Well, you'll find out sooner or later anyway, and I'll tell you the truth. In fact, this morning, someone found another young couple drowning in the lake, and the place where they drowned was the same as the college couple last week, on the edge of the shallow beach called Pingyue Bay. ”
"What?" Wu Yun and Wei Xiaofeng both exclaimed involuntarily. And after hearing the location where the body was found, they vaguely guessed the identity of the couple in their hearts.
"Who is the dead couple?" Wei Xiaofeng asked tremblingly.
Hu Jianhua said with a sad face: "They are also guests of our hotel, the man's name is Jin Wenchao, with blonde hair, and the woman's name is Lu Xinhui, with purple hair, and they live in room 1001." ”
Blonde man, purple haired woman? The couple who killed Matt who had a lot of bad relationship with them!
Wu Yun and Wei Xiaofeng looked at each other, and each saw the shock in each other's eyes.
In the next second, Wu Yun's face became extremely ugly......
