Chapter 221 The House of Ghosts and Riddles: Moji and the Preface II
The young man is Moji. Soon, Yun Yeyao learned from Moji about his encounter with Xie Yunmeng. This incident surprised the administrator's mother-in-law. She said: "Xiaoji, so, did you ask Mr. Duan to take a strange guest to Feiniaocao?"
"Ah, yes."
Yun Yeyao seemed to have heard something from the words of the two people, and he asked, "Isn't this Feiniaocao Hotel?"
Moji was stunned for a moment and replied, "It can be said yes or not, but I can't tell you this in advance. Every time a new guest comes, Feiniaocao will hold a Sphinx riddle guessing party. Those who don't guess the riddle will receive a prank punishment. Feiniaocao here will announce the answer until midnight and surprise everyone."
"However, strangers cannot attend such gatherings. Only familiar friends or introduced people can do it, and I became Mr. Xie's introducer."
"In fact, Mr. Moji." Yun Yeyao suddenly called Moji's full name. You must know that Moji had never told him his name before, so this surprised Moji very much. He looked at Yun Yeyao and waited for him to continue talking.
"A friend who invited me today should have refused to come, right?"
"Yes, how did you know?" Moji asked strangely, adding: "This man is an old friend of the owner, but when he arrived here a month ago, he ran away crazy for some reason, and made the administrator's mother-in-law's things mess up. He also broke the window here."
"Originally, the owner found a reason to invite him to participate in our game to understand the misunderstandings before, but he might be scared and didn't want to come? Did he introduce you?"
"Yes, that's it. He described you and a man named Duan Hongye to us, saying that we could just find you when we arrived here. I didn't recognize you when I was at the door just now, so I didn't dare to call you directly."
After such a conversation, Yun Yeyao and Mo Haiyou became guests introduced by the male actor, while Xie Yunmeng became friends introduced by Moji. Of course, the photos given by the male actor were still on Xie Yunmeng. But that's fine, Yun Yeyao and Mo Haiyou had sufficient reasons to participate, and the guessing game was held here tonight.
Anyway, no matter what the result is, Yun Yeyao also believes that it is best to know the truth and no criminal incidents have occurred. At this moment, as if putting the cart before the horse, Yun Yeyao's mood is gradually relaxing. Mo Ji and his mother-in-law seem to be very honest with him, and they take the initiative to talk about what the male actor encountered a month ago.
Their statement obviously confirms two things. First, this bird grass hotel does hide strange secrets; second, Xie Yunmeng is already inside the bird grass, but Yun Yeyao and Mo Haiyou can't see him at this moment.
According to Moji, as long as you wait until midnight, you can know all the secrets you want to know, so that Xiao Meng and Xiao Zuo can also have time to rush back to S City before Monday, so as not to delay work.
At this moment, the administrator's mother-in-law had already returned to the kitchen. When she passed by the big yellow dog, Yun Yeyao saw the dog lying there without moving, so he asked: "Is this big yellow dog sick?"
Moji leaned over and replied, "No, it's too old and fat, so he likes to sleep all day long, it doesn't matter. Otherwise, let's go upstairs too. For so long, your friends should also choose a good room."
Indeed, Mo Haiyou upstairs did not make any noise when they were talking. Yun Yeyao also wanted to know what Xiao Zuo was doing, so he immediately walked upstairs with Mo Ji.
As soon as they left their front feet, the mother-in-law's expression in the kitchen immediately became gloomy, and even her eyes became sharp and energetic. She kicked the big yellow dog on the ground, and a little rotten fur immediately appeared under the dog's body, and was instantly pressed down by the intact fur on the upper half.
But strangely, no matter how you look at this dog, it cannot be alive, but it does not smell any rotten. It can even be said that it has no smell on it. Even the pure white puppy outside ignores its existence.
After waiting for Yun Yeyao and Moji to see the inside of the kitchen, my mother-in-law took out a clean tablecloth, put the big yellow dog along with the floor mat under it on the tablecloth, wrapped it tightly, and then picked it up and walked towards the direction of her room.
The actions of the people downstairs did not attract the attention of the few people upstairs at all. Moji was still accompanying Yun Yeyao to look for Mo Haiyou in one room. They started looking for the first room at the entrance of the stairs, and found the next door of the room where there were originally guests before finding Mo Haiyou.
After entering, the two saw the forensic doctor tidying up his hair and suit, as if he was stained with dust. Moji quickly said, "Sorry, this place has not been cleaned yet. If you decide to live in this room, I will immediately go to get a vacuum cleaner and a rag to clean it."
"No," the forensic doctor said while tidying up his clothes: "The room is very clean, not for this reason." After that, he turned around and looked towards the two people at the door.
As the hair became messy, Mo Haiyou and Yun Yeyao's appearance became more similar. Mo Ji once again became in a daze. If these two were twins, no one would believe it!
But he held back this time and didn't say this, because obviously they didn't want to admit the twins, so why do you have to get annoyed by yourself!
Still maintaining a polite smile, Moji walked in and asked again if he had chosen a room. Mo Haiyou made a positive reply, but before telling Moji that he had chosen, he added another question.
"Why are there no windows in the three rooms directly opposite the staircase?"
"I'm not very clear. The flying bird grass here was originally Grandma Yan's home, and later it was merged into a hotel. If you want to know about it, just wait and ask Grandma Yan later."
Yun Yeyao asked: "Is Grandma Yan the administrator mother-in-law downstairs?"
"No, Grandma Yan is not here, but you will see her at the end of the game. Grandma Yan has a good temper and likes to talk to young people very much."
Mo Haiyou didn't ask any other questions. He chose the room in front of him to stay in. Mo Ji asked, "So what about Mr. Yun, which room do you live in?"
"He lives with me!" Mo Haiyou used an unquestionable attitude. Although he always hides his worries, he will occasionally be particularly relaxed.
Moji did not express any doubts about this, but simply told the two that dinner would be arranged at 7:30 pm, in the hall on the first floor, so they could rest for a while.
After Moji left, Mo Hai closed the door and said to Yun Yeyao: "Do you know what I found?"
Yun Yeyao had come over with curiosity at this moment. As soon as he saw Xiao Zuo tidying his hair and clothes, he knew that he had discovered something fun. Another reason was that although Mo Ji and his mother-in-law did not pay attention, it did not mean that Yun Yeyao did not pay attention to Mo Haiyou's movements.
After Mo Haiyou entered the first room directly opposite the stairs, he never came out at all. However, when he went upstairs, he appeared in the room opposite, so there must be something strange here.
"Speak quickly at Xiao Zuo."
Just as Mo Haiyou was about to speak, a slight sound suddenly came from somewhere behind him, as if something was hitting the wooden board. Mo Haiyou used a finger to silence his lips, and then said with his mouth: 'I'll tell you later.'
Then Mo Haiyou walked towards the door of the room, and their luggage was still piled up in the lobby on the second floor. He pulled the luggage in and began to organize it. Yun Yeyao cooperated to simply pack up the room. The two of them did not speak anymore, and only the sounds of their actions could be heard outside the room.
Overall, there is nothing to describe in this room, only simple daily necessities and electrical appliances, and the floor and desktop are not very dirty. It can be seen that they will clean it every now and then. Mo Haiyou's attention is not here. He is always smelling the smell in the room while packing his luggage.
Yun Yeyao knew that he could not disturb him, so he restrained his curiosity and observed the entire room with his intuition. After a while, his attention was attracted by the wall facing the door. The wall was only a small rectangular desk with some envelopes and manuscript paper on it, probably for guests who were staying.
The small paperweight is obviously a handmade product, not something bought outside, but carved from a small piece of wood.
There was a window directly above the desk. This window was very strange and was tightly sealed by the blinds. Yun Yeyao used his hand to pull the rope of the blinds, but it was useless at all. It was probably stuck, so Yun Yeyao gave up and stopped trying.
Instead, I used my hand to open the blinds and looked at the scenery outside. It was like he imagined, with weeds and roads. There were few pedestrians at this moment, and it looked almost as different as the wilderness.
The windows are old-fashioned iron windows, and there is nothing strange about them. After Yun Yeyao closed the blinds, he reached out to prepare to touch the entire window frame.
"Xiaoyao, don't touch there. The window frame is not firm, and it will be difficult to install it after falling off." Mo Haiyou reminded behind his back.
His words made Yun Yeyao feel very strange. He looked back at Xiaozuo, looked at the window frame again, and after thinking for a while, he just tapped the edge of the iron window frame with his fingers and gave up, and did not continue asking.
Let the two of them have a silent communication in the room that others can't understand. Let's first look at the situation outside the room. Moji did not leave the second floor, but sat in front of the abandoned mahjong table and fiddled with some square plates.
Each of these things is slightly larger than the palm of your hand and is very thick, and looks like white plastic boards. However, judging by Moji's striking with a small hammer, they seem to be harder than ordinary plastic boards, and they are certainly solid.
The hammer hit the plate with a very dull and light sound. Maybe the sound Mo Haiyou and Yun Yeyao heard just now was made by Mo Ji, but we are not completely sure.
When Moji was working, facing the door of the room where people had lived before, you could hear the sound of girls walking in high heels. Perhaps the people inside were preparing something for the evening activities!
——
The strange coat peeled off the woman bit by bit, while her back was stretching out bit by bit. Wearing this kind of clothing was a miserable torture for her.
Not only her waist, but also her hands and feet were unable to stretch her hands and feet. After one day, the woman's whole body was almost numb. She just wanted to relax her hands and feet, and after throwing the layers of coats on the ground, she ignored them.
The woman with a better figure changed into her own clothes and shoes, and carefully wiped the remaining traces on her face with a hot towel, opening the door to her room.
There is a noisy sound in the place behind this door, maybe because it is close to the street! However, there are no windows here, but the room is not soundproof.
At present, the woman doesn't care what's going on outside. She needs a good rest. Everything she should prepare is ready. As for the riddle, there is only one this time, and there will be only one winner in the end.
The woman is not tall, but her spine is straight, like a model, with a belt tied around her waist into a beautiful bow and wearing a purple floral long skirt.
She came to Feiniaocao that afternoon, only more than two hours later than Moji. From the time she arrived, the woman had never taken off her heavy clothes and had never stopped working.
Now that she finally lay on the bed, she felt that her whole body was almost soaked in sweat.
‘It’s so bad. Why should I suffer this crime? Maybe this time there will be a strange person coming, messing up the things I have worked hard to prepare,’ the woman complained, ignoring all the sounds in her ears and looking at the ceiling.
At this moment, her beautiful long hair was tied to the top of her head, like a Taoist priest's bun, with a lot of strands of hanging down on both sides, but they were all stuck to her face, and she felt very uncomfortable.
The woman patiently removed her hair from her face bit by bit, as if she was doing a meticulous job. She had no other job before midnight, just stayed to watch the show.
Thinking of this, the woman relaxed a little and continued to focus on her annoying hair.
The voice of the outsider was vaguely mixed with a slight knock, and the woman couldn't help but feel a little criticized: "Why did he start doing this now? What should I do if there is not enough bird grass at that time? This is related to the clues to the puzzle!"
The woman wanted to go back and urged the person she thought of to speed up her action, but after weighing it for a while, she was still defeated by physical fatigue, so she did not move at all.
After taking a look at the watch, it was already 6.05 pm. The woman turned over, closed her eyes and started to rest. After a while, a slight snoring sound came out of her nose, blending with other sounds around her.
