Chapter 40: Sleepless Nights
"What? Are you sure? Martin asked, confused.
"Of course, I asked him questions, and he kept shaking his head." Ruili said, "What could it be that he wasn't dumb?" ”
"Miss Ruili, you were drunk, or dazzled, and he sat there and said a few words to them before leaving."
Mir didn't believe that the homeless man was mute, but after Ruili's revelation, he was now even more suspicious of what the homeless man was hiding.
The next time he sees a homeless man, Mir will definitely treat him to a drink.
"What do we eat? Miss Ruili. Martin saw that Ruili's hand was empty.
"The woman in the kitchen seems to be gone, I don't know where she went, and there is no food on the table." Ruili said as she drank wine.
"Did she go to the bathroom? It happened to be a staggered time with Miss Ruili. Martin quipped.
Ruili pointed to the bottle and said, "Whatever she goes, let's drink them all tonight!" ”
"Wait."
Mir senses that everyone at the hotel has problems, Cara and Lisa, a woman who claims to be Lisa, Laura, the owner, and the homeless people, all of whom have problems, including the ghost.
"They don't play according to the rules, as if they are all mentally ill." Mill said.
"Sir, what is mental illness?" Martin spread his hands and said, "I can't understand it. ”
"There's something wrong with their heads, it's not normal." Mill replied dryly.
Martin was tasting the wine, Ruili was already asleep on the table, and Mir was watching the drunks while he was drinking.
Then he took out his pocket watch and looked at the time, and if there was nothing unusual in the hotel within two hours, then he and Martin would carry Mary back upstairs to rest.
Mir hoped it would be a pleasant night at this time, despite the drizzle outside.
Mir thought of the drizzle, why the homeless man who came up was not wet on his body, which made Mir very incomprehensible.
"Martin, you stay here first." Mir said as he drank his glass in one gulp.
"Where are you going? Sir. Martin asked.
"I'll take a look outside."
When Mir had finished speaking, he ran out of the hotel as fast as he could, and he stood in the doorway, observing the raindrops, which were indeed much smaller than the previous storm.
He looked around as he passed, and it was pitch black in front of him, barely visible.
"Where did that guy come from?" Mill muttered.
Mir looked at the roof of the hotel in the heavy rain, but found nothing, and the sky was dark and black, and there was no light source.
He couldn't imagine how the guy did it, considering that Ruili was drunk, he didn't dwell on the issue again, it was possible that Ruili didn't see the man put the umbrella somewhere.
Mill reached the counter, and at that moment, he heard a thud in the kitchen, like someone was knocking on the door.
He gently pushed the door open, and there was no one in the kitchen, and indeed, Laura was no longer there.
He didn't know where the sound was coming from, but when he came to the window, he saw the room where Ruili was knocking downstairs.
Mir did the same, he knocked hard, calling Laura's name, but there was no answer in the room.
He tried to push the door open, but it still wouldn't open, as if it were embedded in the wall.
There was no lock on the door, and Mir wasn't sure if there was anything hidden in the room, or if there was nothing in it at all, or if it was just a wall, just for decoration.
Mir didn't let his guard down, still searching for the source of the sound, he rummaged through all the cabinets, except for a few things in the hotel, kitchen utensils, dishes, and sundries, nothing related to that sound, almost nothing.
Immediately afterward, Mir opened the kitchen window and poked his head out to look around, but there was no one to be seen.
The strange noise, definitely not made by a rat, closed the window and took a closer look in the kitchen.
Making sure there were no ghosts, he immediately walked out of the kitchen and back to the second floor.
Mill didn't see Martin in his seat, he looked in the direction of the drunkards and saw Martin sitting next to the boss, talking to them.
Mill also took his glass and sat down, and he told Martin to sit next to the other homeless man, and he wanted to sit with the boss, who he wanted to use to get out of his heart.
"Detective Edward, you're here, and I'm welcome to join you." The boss said very happily.
"Thank you." Mir picked up half a bottle of wine, poured it for the boss and the drunkards, and said, "Nice to meet you, I haven't been drunk in a long time." ”
Another drunkard said, "You are a sir, and your status is honorable, and it is my honor to meet you." ”
The drunkard sitting with his back to Mir kept his head down, and when Mir poured him a drink, he just smiled respectfully at Mir and said thank you, sir.
Mir finished pouring the wine and said, "Boss, do you have anything to eat at this time?" ”
The boss looked out the window at the night and said, "She's gone home to sleep, that damn guy didn't come to work today, and when he comes tomorrow, I'll have to deduct his wages." ”
"I've heard Laura talk about this." Mir said, taking a sip of his wine.
"Don't listen to her, what can a maid know." The boss's expression was a little serious and said, "If it weren't for my ability to cook, I would never have asked her to stay in the hotel." ”
Mir could hear his displeasure with Laura in the boss's words, but when Mill was in the kitchen, he saw that Laura was working very quickly.
"What's wrong with her?" Mir asked, pretending to be confused.
"She has a good friend, she came over just now, and I blew him away." The boss said angrily: "He is always eating and drinking here, I hate him, especially the smell of his body, which makes me unbearable." ”
Mir glanced at the two drunks, and the one who stinked should be them, not the man, because Mir didn't smell any stench on the man's body, but the aroma.
"I've heard he's mute." Mir remembered what Ruili had said.
"He's not just dumb, he's more like a deaf person." The boss leaned into Mir's ear and said, "When he was in bed with Laura, I think it must not be like that, haha." ”
Mir laughed dryly with the boss, he didn't expect the boss to describe Laura's good looks like this.
Mill believes that the more the boss says this, the more it proves that Laura's good looks must be a normal person, definitely not deaf or mute.
He can talk to his boss, he can hear his boss's roar, and most likely, he deliberately pretends to be deaf and dumb and behaves a little thicker.
"Come on, sir, toast to our sleepless nights!" The boss shouted, "If there are a few girls here at this time, I want to open a room for each of you, so that you can enjoy the beauty of the night, and you will definitely thank me." ”
