When He Ying opened her eyes, she was standing outside a magnificently decorated hotel, and her companions who entered the module together were nowhere to be seen.

The welcoming guests of the hotel warmly greeted them: "Hello, sir, may I help you?"

"Give me a double room, please." He Ying pressed down his wide-brimmed hat. He was wearing a very British-style trench coat. Obviously, he was playing a British guy with a London accent. "I want to wait for my friends here. Please take my luggage up for me." He grabbed two change notes from the windbreaker pocket and handed them to the welcome guest.

"Good sir, I will send you the room card later." The welcome guest took He Ying's suitcase and said cheerfully, "It is an honor for Boll to serve you."

He Ying was waiting for Chu Lishu's arrival in the lobby of the hotel. They made an appointment before their departure this time. They divided into two groups to cover each other, pretending not to know each other, and whoever entered the target first would wait for his teammates there.

The hotel waiter was very considerate and brought coffee and newspapers and magazines for him to kill time.

He Ying pretended to read the newspaper while paying attention to the door. There was a large-scale exhibition in this city recently. There were many people coming and going and entering the hotel. There was no way to distinguish which of them were investigators and which were aborigines.

One of the young men with blond hair caught his attention. He looked a little... familiar, as if he had seen it somewhere.

The young man came alone, dressed in business attire, and looked like a businessman.

After the youth was led upstairs by the welcome guests, some people came to the hotel, including a photographer with a camera, a young couple, and an exhibitor with a work pass.

Yan An and the others also arrived. Yan An and Lian Yu pretended (this doesn't seem to be necessary) to be a couple and brought their younger sister (An Xian) here to participate in the exhibition.

The hotel was almost full, and when even the welcome and the front desk started to be lazy, Chu Lishu finally arrived.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I was delayed by something on the way." Chu Lishu apologized as soon as she saw He Ying.

"Don't worry about it," He Ying stood up, "I'm your assistant, I should wait for you."

Yes, the scripts they took were detectives and detective assistants, and they claimed to be small bosses and assistants.

Boer, who was served by He Ying before, took the initiative to carry the luggage for Chu Lishu's boss, and led them up to the double room on the third floor.

Chu Lishu chatted with him all the way, and soon, relying on the charm of the tip, he got out a lot of information.

This hotel has been open for a while. The owner of the hotel is a couple. The owner used to have a good temper, but recently he has become a little weird. He hides in the room all day long and sees no one.Both the receptionist and the front desk are short-term temporary workers who live in a room next to the lobby on the first floor, but recently a young girl at the front desk often stays out at night. It seems that she has a boyfriend and will resign at some point.

There are ten single rooms on the second floor of the hotel, and six double rooms on the third floor. The double rooms are much more spacious than the single rooms. The recent exhibition has brought many businessmen and travelers, and the hotel is full of single rooms and double rooms.

After dismissing Boer with a tip, He Ying closed the door: "Ten single rooms, six double rooms, a total of 22 guests, how many do you think are..." Investigator?

"At least half of it." Chu Lishu walked around the room twice, "Tomorrow I'll go and find out how many exhibitors there are. This group of people is not a big problem. After all, ordinary people can't get booths and work permits."

"Speaking of which, when I was waiting for you, I saw a young man with blond hair, who looked about 20 years old." He Ying thought about the blond young man, "It looks a little familiar, it seems that I have seen it before."

Chu Lishu became interested: "Meet it? Is it someone you have met before?"

"It doesn't look like..." He Ying thought for a while, "It should be someone I met recently."

More recently... that's in mods.

"Let's talk about it tomorrow," Chu Lishu patted He Ying's shoulder, then pointed to the wall, "Come and help me take a look, I always feel that something is wrong with this room."

He Ying was stunned for a moment, and then began to look at it: "What's wrong? I think it's okay."

"I can't tell, but it's just... weird." Chu Lishu said, and turned on the communicator.

Lianyu [Investigation] Check/Exit: 75/36 success

Lian Yu keenly noticed that the walls of the room were of different thicknesses, as if there was a wall interlayer or something else.

Chu Lishu greeted He Ying: "Brother Lian found a problem, please read the message record."

"There is indeed something wrong with this hotel." After seeing the news, He Ying tapped on the four walls of the room, and heard the voice say, "This wall is not right."

"I come."

Chu Lishu [Investigation] Check/Exit: 65/16 Difficult Success

During the inspection, Chu Lishu discovered that although the wall didn't look thick, it was actually empty.

Chu Lishu and He Ying looked at each other, and both felt that there was a big problem.

What does empty mean?darkroom?Or a secret passage?

How can an ordinary hotel have such a thing?

Chu Lishu asked: "What do you think is the possibility that the hotel owner doesn't know that there is a problem with the hotel he owns?"

"It's impossible not to know." He Ying replied very positively, "Unless the hotel doesn't care about it at all."

"This is the first time I came up and found out who is behind the scenes..." Chu Lishu's tone was a little erratic, a little skeptical, "I always feel that it is not true, will there be a reversal later?" And this module boss So it's exposed, isn't it a bit too watery?Is it really a four-star mod?

"The message we received before is that there is a problem with the nine o'clock, and the boss must have a problem," He Ying patted him, "So this is not an error or omission of the module. The point is that we need evidence to prove that there is a problem with the boss. There is no way to draw a conclusion based on the possible existence of dark rooms or secret passages..." There is not enough evidence.

"You're right." Chu Lishu recovered and smiled at He Ying, "Is this the wisdom of the elders?"

He Ying patted him on the head: "Don't think I didn't realize that you're trying to say I'm old!"

Chu Lishu didn't even struggle a bit, and let her fight flatly: "I'm saying you're reliable..."

He Ying's face was a little red, and she withdrew her hands: "Forgive you this time."
