Chapter 255: The Female Corpse in the Wall (Part I)
Early in the morning, guests staying at the Four Seasons Hotel were woken up by the sound of sirens, and they each pushed open their windows to observe the movement downstairs from different floors.
There were several police cars parked downstairs, some people were pulling the cordon, some people were coming in and out of the building, and some people were gathered to talk. Because they were far away, they couldn't hear what they were saying, but judging by the way they were standing, the atmosphere was tense.
A cordon was also set up on both sides of rooms 305 and 306, and several police officers were busy on the bedside table, first identifying the location of a wall, then taking out a hoe, turning their heads against the wall and starting to knock.
A curious and bold tenant quietly walked over and asked the policeman who was standing guard next to the cordon: "What's wrong with this room?" Listening to the movement is like smashing a wall, isn't there something hidden in that wall? ”
The police brother looked back at the curious tenant and reminded: "The police are handling the case, please don't video and take pictures!" Also, before the police make an announcement, please don't talk nonsense on your social accounts, the Internet is not a place outside the law. ”
The tenant who was shooting a small video immediately put away his mobile phone: "Comrade police, don't worry, I will never send it randomly, I promise my mother." ”
"Is Auntie very powerful?" The police brother was curious.
The tenant nodded: "My mother is the best in our family, I dare to swear by my mother, you should believe that I mean it." ”
The police brother made a gesture for him to go back, he nodded, and pulled his girlfriend back to the room.
In the room, Liang Zhijie, Wei Lai, Li Fei and Manager Cui were all standing in the other corner. With the cooperation of several police officers, a hole was smashed into the wall of 305, and a hidden square space was revealed. Picking up the broken bricks and rubble, the police dragged out a dusty object from it with their bare hands.
"It's the bed sheets in the hotel." Manager Cui was the first to speak.
"The sheets were wrapped in scotch tape." Wei Lai added.
"Not only scotch tape, but also the black leather rope that the mysterious man mentioned in the email and that we didn't see when we searched the rooftop.
If you guessed correctly, the rope was used to hold the corpse in case it fell while it was being lifted. Li Fei tilted his head: "I really didn't expect that they would hide the corpse here." Look at the walls, they have thickened them by ten centimeters, no wonder the layout of rooms 305 and 306 is different from the others. ”
"The size of the shower room has been reduced, and the distance between the bed and the window has also been reduced, but this error is so small that it is difficult to see without a ruler." Liang Zhijie added: "But they still carefully designed the layout of the whole room, and after renovating, they deliberately made these two rooms into unique rooms." ”
"How did you find this?" Li Fei first looked at Liang Zhijie, and then fell on Wei Lai: "How did you find out about such a secret design?" ”
"Shadow, and Chen Xiaoli's dream." Wei Lai said embarrassedly: "Don't look at me with such an expression, what I said is true." Team Liang saw a shadow in his dream, and the shadow was crouching near the bedside table. Later, the shadow turned into Chen Xiaoli and jumped from the third floor, which scared Team Liang awake. ”
"What a terrible nightmare it must be to wake up our Liang team." Li Fei sighed: "What happened later? Just because of a dream, you know that the corpse is hidden in the wall? ”
"How can there be such a god, we are not Bao Zheng." Wei Lai glanced at Li Fei with the afterglow of his eyes.
"I was scared out of a cold sweat by the nightmare, and Wei Lai told me to take a shower, and when I came out of the wash, there was a shadow behind the bedside table. The shadows were faint, as if they had been smoked out of water vapor. ”
"Smoke from the water vapor?" Li Fei stared at the smashed wall, "This hotel has been renovated for three years, and these 305,306 continue to have guests staying in, why didn't the previous guests find a shadow?" ”
"There are a lot of rooms with haunted events at the Four Seasons Hotel, and we have a record at the front desk every time, and there are no 305 and 306 in it." Manager Cui was silent for a moment: "I told you when I was on the roof that these two rooms had an accident during the renovation. The other staff in the hotel didn't know, but I knew. ”
"There could be three reasons why a guest didn't report it. One is the problem of the wall, although the water vapor can smoke the shadow, but there is a process. In other words, this shadow is becoming clearer day by day, and it is only now that we can see the clues. ”
Liang Zhijie walked to the smashed wall: "The second reason is that the shadow appears for a short time, and it will only appear when the water vapor gathers to a certain extent, and ordinary people take a bath, usually with the door closed. Wei Lai and I also took a shower after coming down from the roof, and at that time, ......" Liang Zhijie recalled: "It seems that I didn't see any shadow." ”
"Maybe there is, but neither you nor I noticed." Wei Lai added: "So there are two possibilities for the third reason, one is that the shadow appeared with water vapor, but no one noticed. One is to notice, but I didn't think much about it, after all, this is a hotel, the degree of decoration is not comparable with my own home, and it is possible for the wall to return to moisture or something. There is one last possibility, that is, it was seen, but it was understood by the people who came here to explore it as a supernatural event. Don't forget, this is a supernatural themed hotel, and it's normal for paranormal events to occur. All they saw were shadows, not real ghosts, and it was normal for them to not notify the front desk without actually being hurt. ”
"It's a possibility." Li Fei nodded and said, "Regardless of whether it was a coincidence or a dream, in short, the corpse hidden in the wall was found by us." ”
"Could she be Chen Xiaoli?" Wei Lai asked.
As the scotch tape was torn apart, a pungent stench came to my face. The medical examiner untied the sheets wrapped around the deceased's body, revealing a highly decomposed female corpse.
Xu is the special reason of the hiding place, the female corpse has not yet turned into white bones. She wore a red dress that had been rolled up because it was wrapped in sheets. There was nothing else in the dress, and the zipper seemed to be pulled up casually, stuck a palm's width away from the lock. The fatal wound to the deceased was in the back of the head, the cause of death was a heavy object impact, and the time of death was more than three years.
"This person who hides the corpse is also a talent." Li Fei looked at the smashed wall and said, "Lend me a hand, there are still things in this wall." ”
"What's that?" Liang Zhijie walked over with his head: "How many times do you need to smash?"
"Just take a look!" Li Fei rubbed his hands: "This kind of hard work, I'll just come." ”
With a "bang", a black lady's satchel appeared in the crack of the wall. Li Fei pulled it with his hand, the satchel shattered, and the contents fell out.
An ID card, covered in floating ash.
Erasing the floating ash, Chen Xiaoli's avatar and name appeared.
"Sure enough, it's her!" Li Fei sighed: "This woman who has been missing for three years has finally been found by us!" ”
