Chapter 3 Going to City A for a Business Trip

The next day, almost noon, Lan San, who was still tortured by a headache after a hangover, was forced to the basement by Sister Wang. Because Sister Wang wanted to go there to get something, this superstitious rural woman firmly believed that the case must be caused by evil spirits, so she did not dare to go down alone, even at noon.

"Men's yang energy is always stronger," she said.

Lan San had no choice but to accompany her to the basement, but the closer he got, the more he felt his hair standing up. He wanted to leave immediately, but he didn't, because he didn't want to be said to be unworthy of a man. What's more important is that this small building was where he lived for half his life, and there had never been a supernatural incident. He didn't believe that ghosts would appear for no reason; this is also his entire source of life, and there must be no accidents. Even if something happened, he had to deal with it as soon as possible.

There was originally a lamp at the entrance of the passageway that turned into the basement, but it had never been replaced after it was broken. Fortunately, it was sunny now, so it was only a little dim.

A crisp sound of 'smash' suddenly came, making her even more shocked in the empty place, which scared Lan San and jumped. Sister Wang, who was walking in front, also stopped for a moment, causing Lan San to almost hit her back.

"What's wrong?" Lan San was a little annoyed. He realized that the crisp sound was caused by Sister Wang dropping a bunch of keys on the ground. "It's really scary, scary!"

"Gate - Door -" Sister Wang pointed to the front and said only these two words, her voice trembled and her steps could not move.

Lan San looked forward and saw that the basement door was open and there were a few pieces of dark paper scattered on the ground.

Since the police surveyed the scene and returned the place to him, he has been locking it, and several of them were locked, otherwise Sister Wang would not have received such a large bunch of keys. But at this time the door was open intact, and the few pieces of dark paper were even more incomprehensible. His parents died early, and this place has not died for twenty years. Where did the dark paper come from?

Just when he was stunned, Sister Wang suddenly realized that she was like she was yelling, turned around and ran away, and actually knocked Lan San to stagger and almost fell down.

For a moment, he also wanted to follow Sister Wang and escape, but strangely, he did not run away in the end. I don’t know what mentality it was, perhaps it was just an inexplicable attraction that made him slowly lean over.

As soon as I reached the door, I felt something shaking and creaking sounds slowly coming, which made Lan San's legs weak and he almost fell to the ground.

His cold sweat fell, and he didn't know whether to run away or go in to see what happened. He was frozen there for a long time, and saw that the images and sounds were still echoing in the empty room, regular, stable, and slow, even if there was no sign of stopping or terrible things coming out of it. He couldn't help but curiosity prevailed.

It’s impossible for ghosts to be there in broad daylight!

Lan San thought about this and slowly poked his head out to see it.

The bright light outside scattered from the dilapidated skylight. Because it was passed through the dirty glass, the light entering inside was already very dim, making the room full of stale smell. A beam of light happened to fall on the bed where the murder occurred. There was a man lying on the bed, covered with a thick quilt, motionless, only revealing his head outside, as quiet as if he was dead.

Or just dead.

Moreover, in the winter, the sturdy old-fashioned ceiling fan in the middle of the room was opened, slowly turning, and the light and shadow and sound came from it.

Or it was from the naked woman hanging on the ceiling fan.

When Lan San poked his head out to watch, the woman hanging on the ceiling fan turned to the side facing him, making him recognize the girl at a glance as the girl he met at the entrance of the third floor yesterday.

At this time, her face was dark, her seven orifices were bleeding, her tongue was sticking out, and her eyes were staring at the person!

Lan San took a breath and ran out, not caring about the man he wanted to re-establish, nor caring about the hotel's future reputation, and shouting: "I'm killing again! I'm killing again!"

When the police came this time, it was noon, and there were more people watching, but people couldn't get any exact news. They only saw Lan San sitting dumbly on the stone bench in front of the small flowerbed muttering to himself, "Which brother has you been recruiting? It hurts me so much, and deliberately blocks my way of living! It's so miserable, so miserable-" I don't know if he said he was miserable or the victim was miserable.

But no matter what, his hotel cannot be opened for the time being. For the police, the overwhelming matter has added this one. There is no clue at all in the last secret room murder case. Although this time it is not so 'technical', it has no trace of committing the crime.

The victim also had sex before being killed. She did not suffer rape, but had sex with her boyfriend. But when she died, she was also naked, her body was covered with purple and irregular handprints, which were also suffocated and frightened to death. However, the suffocation process was more obvious, and she was hanged alive.

The boy lying on the bed was covered with a quilt. Although he realized that there would be a more terrifying and disgusting scene under the quilt, he still didn't expect that it would be the case. The boy was undergoing an anatomy operation, his entire chest was opened, and his internal organs were all changed. His blood had dried up and all penetrated into the thick bedding.

Are they killed at the same time or are there first and last? Why were there five people upstairs at that time, but none of them heard the call for help, and still did not resist? Why did they molest the female deceased but did not rape? Why did the lock on the door have no traces of forced opening, and what happened to the dark paper? Is it intentionally arousing imagination or has other profound meanings?

This case with the previous case seemed like a series of crimes, but he had no clue about the suspect and did not understand why he chose this hotel to attack the young couple?

Moreover, these two cases are not only cruel, they are simply perverted!

"I think this is done by a person with a personality pervert," a policeman said at an analysis meeting.

"But considering the tinyness of the handprint, his power does not match the normal physiological characteristics of human beings." Another said.

"Where is the weapon of the second case? Why there is no clue at all? You must know that there is no perfect murder in this world!" Another said.

"It's not something humans do!" This is their initial conclusion except for the technical level.

As a result, the case became a unsolved case again. Then the winter vacation and the New Year came one after another, and the Lover Hotel did not open again for two months.

&&&&&&&

After the New Year, Xiaoxia received a new task, which is that Boheng Group, a large enterprise in the city, had some legal business in the branch of the A-City branch, and was unwilling to hire a local lawyer whom she didn't trust, so she asked Changkong Law Firm to assign a lawyer to be a legal representative and consultant for two months.

Boheng Group is an old client of Changkong Law Firm, so of course it cannot be rejected. However, the lawyers in the firm either have important cases at hand or have family members. Therefore, only the lonely "marginal figure" Yue Xiaoxia is sent to undertake this task.

"The work is very simple, but you get a lot of money. You have been accepting criminal cases recently. Now you can take the opportunity to relax and relax in sightseeing. I heard that the natural and cultural landscapes of City A are good." said the director.

Xiaoxia nodded.

She was not in conflict with this job because it was indeed a relatively relaxed job. Although it would make others in the office say that she was favored by the director, she was also ready to accept it.

She was just thinking about going out to relax and adjust her mood, but she had such a great opportunity to hit her head. Of course, she had to catch it without hesitation. Who made her lucky in nature?

It has been two months since the Christmas incident, and she still feels unnatural and dare not go to the night home bar to check it out.

How embarrassing this is!

When I muster up the courage and confess my feelings in a vague way, I realize that he has always regarded himself as a friend. Friends are just friends, at most she buried her feelings in her heart. What's so great about secret love? Think about it, if you like someone, he doesn't know, isn't it also romantic? If you like someone, they have no obligation to accept it. She understands this principle and can accept it, but it's too embarrassing to make mistakes. She just hopes that he doesn't understand her meaning, so that she will be a little better.

But, he is so smart and keen, how could he not understand!

This idea remains in Xiao Xia's consciousness, making her hide from everything related to Ruan Zhan like a thief. Although she wants to see him so much, she wants to see his sometimes alienated and sometimes gentle eyes.

When she got home and was packing up what she wanted to use for a business trip, her phone rang. When she saw the number shown on it, her heart almost jumped out. It was the phone number of Ye Guiren Bar.

She took several deep breaths nervously before answering the call, but the sound from the other end of the phone relaxed her again.

It turned out that it was Liu Tie and Ni Yang, two friends from Ye Guiren Bar. They went home for a while because of the winter vacation. During this period, Ruan Zhan hired local college students as temporary partners and replaced them again after the winter vacation.

As soon as they came back, they clamored to meet Xiaoxia's sister, but because they attended classes during the day and Xiaoxia worked during the day, they had to invite Xiaoxia to meet at the bar at night.

Listening to Xiao Xia's powerless refusal, Ni Yang, who was eloquent, said: "No, Sister Xiao Xia, you must come. I brought you local specialties from my hometown. If you don't come, my heart will be hurt too much."

"And, and -" Liu Tie snatched the phone, "I have been in love with Miss Xiao Xia for so many years, so you can comfort me with my lovesickness!"

Xiao Xia laughed, she was really helpless with these two boys!

Ni Yang was always poor-mouthed. Liu Tie was a little shy. After being silent for a while after the Bloody Mary incident, he later became cheerful and lively.

Wanli said that this is called inner-level personality mining!

There was no way, Xiao Xia couldn't help but slap these two boys and finally agreed. In fact, in her heart, what she wanted to see was another person, the one who made her restless. After all, she was going to go to City A and was going so far away from him, but she lied to herself that she was forced by those two boys.
