Chapter Two Hundred and Twenty The House of Ghostly Riddles: Moji and Introduction Part One

Time: Before Xie Yunmeng arrives at Feiniaocao Hotel that day's supper

Due to Mo Haiyou's appearance, Yun Yeyao and him did not take the train they had originally booked in time, but instead took the train that they had been more than two hours late.

So when we arrived at Xie Yunmeng's location, it was almost the next afternoon. The two of us hurriedly had lunch in the small restaurant at the entrance of the railway station, and then we began to look for the Feiniaocao Hotel according to the map sent by the detectives.

They were not as lucky as the detective. Someone who was familiar with the journey brought to Feiniaocao. The two of them were groping all the way, just like the male actor before. The taxi driver carrying them was not familiar with the route in the suburbs, so they still couldn't find the right direction until nearly four o'clock.

Yun Yeyao was a little anxious. He wanted to call Xie Yunmeng, but Mo Haiyou disagreed. The forensic doctor's reason was that this would affect Xie Yunmeng's investigation work there and expose his identity. There was nothing extra. It would be better to let Xie Yunmeng stay in the Feiniaocao Hotel as an ordinary person and wait for them to come over with peace of mind.

Mo Haiyou and Yun Yeyao would never have thought that by today's supper time, two terrifying murders would occur in the Flying Bird Grass Hotel where Xie Yunmeng was, and Xie Yunmeng himself would fall into it, blinding his eyes by the fog set by the murderer.

At this moment, the two of them rushed to the Feibiocao Hotel they imagined. Finally, when it was nearly five o'clock, the driver found the signpost that Xie Yunmeng told him and entered the empty road where Feibiocao was.

Since it was still early, there were still farmers traveling back and forth between the suburbs of the city on this road. As the actor said on both sides, there were no weeds and there were no guardrails, just a mud slope leading to the abandoned fields.

Mo Haiyou asked the driver to drive slowly and carefully observe whether there was a police station on the side of the road. Yun Yeyao was also staring nervously at both sides. As a result, when they found the Feiniaocao Hotel, they still did not see any shadows of the police station. Instead, they saw several abandoned and broken houses, one of which was around the corner, leaving only bricks and broken wooden boards.

This also confirmed what Mo Haiyou said on the plane. For a moment, Yun Yeyao felt that his confidence seemed to have been defeated by the forensic doctor and was a little depressed.

When the two of them got out of the taxi, Mo Haiyou paid the car money and helped take the backpack in Yun Yeyao's hand and said, "Let's knock on the door, maybe the people inside are having supper now!"

"..." Yun Yeyao did not say anything, and followed Mo Hai right behind and walked into the weeds. The location of the Feiniaocao Hotel was a distance from the main road, about a dozen steps, and there was no one in front of the door, so it was covered with weeds.

The overall appearance of the hotel is the same as the witnesses described. It looks very shabby and the window glass on the front is broken. All of this was seen by Mo Haiyou. He believed that this means that the actor had indeed seen the Asuka Hotel. Regardless of whether the incident he mentioned was fabricated or real, at least there was a place.

Mo Hai raised his hand right and knocked on the door. There was a sound of pots and pans colliding, and a young man asked: "Who?"

"We are guests who want to stay. Are there any available rooms here?" Mo Haiyou asked.

"Customer! Wait a minute, I'll open the door right away." The young man's voice became very polite, and even made people feel a little surprised. Perhaps it was because this Feiniaocao Hotel had not been to the guest for a long time.

However, as far as the judgement of outsiders is concerned, there should be many tenants in it today, so it is difficult to tell whether there will be empty rooms in such a small family hotel?

About two or three minutes later, the sound of footsteps wearing slippers came from inside, and the door was opened by a young man with a round face and very pretty face. He was not the old lady described by the male actor.

Mo Haiyou pretended to be surprised and said, "The person who introduced me said that the administrator here was an elderly mother-in-law. Why did he change the person?"

"No, my mother-in-law is cooking dinner inside. I am a friend of the host who came to help today. Please come in first. I just cleaned it up here and there are slippers at the door. You can change it yourself."

When the two walked into the Feiniaocao Hotel, they found that although the structure of the house in front of them was the same as they imagined, the layout was completely different. The floor between the kitchen and the administrator's room was scrubbed very brightly, and a little white dog was running back and forth between the floors, looking very happy.

When he found a strange customer walking into the store, the little white dog barked unfriendly. Under the obstruction of the young man, it was not too entangled, but ran into the kitchen.

Yun Yeyao stood near the edge of the kitchen, and could only see the old lady cooking back, her gray and thick short hair, her hunched back, and the motionless yellow dog lying on the ground. These seemed to be unified with the male actor's narrative.

Mo Haiyou quietly observed the inside of the empty door of the administrator's room, and then walked straight up the stairs. The room above also surrounded the middle hall in an arc shape, and the layout of the hall was the same as the description they heard.

This proves that previous witnesses have indeed entered this Feibiocao hotel. While walking, Mo Haiyou smelled the smell of the air with his nose invisibly. What he smelled was not only the aroma of food floating out of the kitchen, but also the smell of cleaning agents, but also a faint smell of burnt plastic.

Especially when it was close to the second floor, Mo Haiyou stopped there and talked to the young man downstairs. The moment the young man turned around, he signaled Yun Yeyao to observe the roof of the first floor from bottom to top.

Of course, Yun Yeyao could understand what Xiao Zuo meant. His eyes turned around instantly and found the most suitable observation position. Taking advantage of the moment when Mo Haiyou attracted the attention of the young man, Yun Yeyao seemed to have found the key point.

He kept staring at an area on the top of the administrator's room, and his eyes slowly moved from there, sweeping across the place where the ceiling and the stairs were connected. At this time, the young man on the first floor had his back to Yun Yeyao, and the mother-in-law in the kitchen was also with her back to him.

Yun Yeyao simply used his mouth to express his judgment to Xiao Zuo. Although he could not explain the reason, he believed that Xiao Zuo could figure it out immediately. The fact was just as he thought. Mo Haiyou ended the conversation with the young man and turned around and walked upstairs.

Yun Yeyao immediately smiled and said to the young man who had turned around: "My friend should have no problem going up to see the room, right? Are there many residents here today?"

"It's okay. There was only one young girl living in the six rooms upstairs today. I was right across the room near the stairs. I've already greeted your brother. He can watch the other five rooms at will."

As soon as he finished speaking, Yun Yeyao immediately continued, saying, "Sorry, you probably misunderstood. We two are good friends."

"Is that so amazing, you two are almost exactly the same!" The young man immediately showed a look of surprise, looked back at Mo Haiyou's back, then looked at Yun Yeyao's face, and continued, "Even the same height and figure, when I first entered the door, I treated you as twins."

At this time, Mo Haiyou's indifferent voice came down from the upper floor: "We are not twins, we are just good friends who occasionally get together."

"Ah! I'm very sorry, it seems I'm wrong."

Yun Yeyao was actually quite sad when he heard Mo Haiyou's response, but he did not show any clues on the surface. Yun Yeyao knew that Mo Haiyou was still worried about the fact that he and Xie Yunmeng were always stuck together, so he deliberately catered to Mr. Forensic during his speech and actions.

These subtle interactions come to an end. Let’s take a look at the old lady in the kitchen. The guest has been in for a while, and she should temporarily put down her work and come out to say hello.

While walking a little staggeringly towards the kitchen door, my mother-in-law said with a smile: "The two of you probably got lost in this remote place. There are no residents around here, only our hotel, but don't worry, it is absolutely safe to live here."

Perhaps the guests who moved in before were not very at ease, so the old lady got a vaccination as soon as she opened her mouth. Of course, Yun Yeyao responded politely.

While being polite, Yun Yeyao carefully observed the old lady's face. There were indeed some scabbed scars and brown spots on it, just like the old man spots, all the way down the neck. However, there were no ulcers and blisters, and it was not as terrible as his actor friend said.

Another point is that after the old lady approached, Yun Yeyao found that the wig on her head was actually a wig. First of all, it is impossible for an elderly person to have such thick hair. Secondly, the luster and texture of the hair are different from the real hair when looking closer.

‘No wonder the old lady he saw before and after was so different. It seemed that his face had a skin disease. Now it was probably almost done, and the doubts in his hair were solved at present.’ Yun Yeyao thought to himself that after seeing the inside of the house, his frustration when he was at the door disappeared.

Some things can be cleaned up, while some things are completely untouchable and cannot be moved or changed. In this house, everything is there, so it can be at least proved that his friend is not lying.

The problem to be solved below is why the young men said that there was only one resident before them, and what did Xie Yunmeng do? This is also the thing that Yun Yeyao is most concerned about at this moment.

According to his calculations, the detective should have arrived that morning. In addition, there were at least six friends mentioned by the actor, and they should have arrived that morning. Why is there only one now?

Yun Yeyao took out a small photo and handed it to his mother-in-law and said, "Do you know the person on this business card?"
