Hi wife!

The girl at the front desk hugged the coffee Fu Xia gave her, looked into the other's light-colored eyes and said, "Actually, our hotel has a rule that at three o'clock in the middle of the night, everyone except the security guards and the front desk can rest."

Fu Xia was stunned.

The girl at the front desk continued: "The guest room will be closed until seven o'clock in the morning, the restaurant will get up a little earlier, and start preparing for the next day's breakfast after five o'clock. The security team will send two people to patrol every hour, and the rest They will all rest in the security room."

Fu Xia blinked, she didn't expect a cup of coffee to accidentally touch the hidden clue.

The girl at the front desk put down her coffee, and took out a blue folder from the cabinet next to it, with a few large characters [Overhaul Record] written on it.

"Look here." The front desk pointed to the record on December 12, and said to Fu Xia: "When my colleague and I changed shifts tonight, they told me that today, as a routine inspection at the end of the year, it was found that the door lock of a lounge was damaged. But because the parts are missing, we can only wait for the purchase tomorrow, but because of the negligence of the master, it is not clear which lounge is damaged in the record."

Fu Xia picked up the document and glanced at it, then asked the girl at the front desk: "Can I take a photo?"

"of course can."

"Thank you."

Fu Xia took out his mobile phone to take a picture, returned the things to the front desk, and asked, "Do you rest at three o'clock sharp or will you rest early?"

The girl at the front desk said with a smile: "Generally, I will start preparing for the break 10 minutes in advance."

Fu Xia was very grateful, thanked her again, and walked upstairs while making a phone call.

The other three people were still wandering around. Fu Xia was the first to find Cheng Wanyu, told her what she found, and showed her the photos. Cheng Wanyu thought for a moment, and looked at Fu Xia with a smile on his face: "Great job."

Fu Xia was a little dazed when he was praised unexpectedly, and smiled twice with a blushing face.

Cheng Wanyu called the other two people to explain the situation, and then looked at the time. It was already 2:40 in the evening, and there were still 10 minutes before the staff rested, and 10 minutes before the fire broke out.

***

The four of Cheng Wanyu were running up and down the hotel, and Yilang arrived at the address in the envelope in a car.

Yilang rolled down the car window and looked at the dark residential buildings around him. Because it was late at night and it was New Year's Day, the community was very quiet. It was as if the weak lights were blowing into the car.

"This looks like an old community," Yi Lang put one hand on the car window, looked out the window and said calmly, "It's so late, I don't know if anyone is still here."

She glanced back at the two big cameramen sitting in the back row. They were wearing masks and sportswear. At this moment, they were carrying the cameras and pointed the lens at the back of Yilang's head. Yilang couldn't help but turn around and said, "You guys Have you brought the walkie-talkie, I will ask the assistant director if this is the place."

The camera brother was very helpless, and said aggrievedly: "Teacher Yilang, don't embarrass us, we really don't know anything, we are only responsible for shooting."

Yi Lang wrapped himself in the military overcoat, and said disgustedly: "Of course I know, I just want to tease you when you are sleepy."

As she said that, she turned her head to look at the gentle and beautiful sister who was driving, and said with a smile: "It's really hard work, you still help us in the middle of the night. After the recording of the show, I will treat you to dinner, shall I?"

The beautiful elder sister with long curly hair raised the corners of her lips and smiled, turned the steering wheel and said, "Look at the three of you walking on the road, please help if you can."

Yi Lang nodded and said, "Is it good to add a WeChat account, so that we can contact you in the future."

The beautiful sister said: "What contact can I have in the future?"

Yi Lang smiled and said, "I invite you to eat."

The pretty sister didn't speak, and the car stopped quickly. She raised her chin and said to Yi Lang, "It should be this building, the address you are looking for."

Yi Lang followed along and saw a dark five-story residential building. Perhaps it was because the sound of vehicles triggered the reaction of the sensor lights in the building. The first floor was illuminated with a weak light with the same wattage as the roadside. Even darker.

This is the place.

Yilang saw a staff member at the corner of the first floor saying something on the walkie-talkie, and she knew she had found a place.

According to the above address, Yi Lang knocked on a security door on the fourth floor.

The dilapidated anti-theft door is double-layered, with a wooden door inside and an iron door outside. There are two rows of steel bars twisted on the upper and lower sides of the iron door, which are the iron fence doors that are very common in old residential areas.

After knocking a few times, the lights turned on in the room, and Yilang heard someone stepping on slippers and walked to the door, and asked loudly, "Who is it?"

"Hello," Yi Lang recognized that it was a woman's voice, and she didn't sound young, so she shouted, "I got a note with your address in Yuansheng Hotel, may I know Yuan Sheng Hotel?"

Maybe he heard some words, the person inside the door didn't make a sound for a long time, the floor sensor lights went out, Yi Lang coughed lightly to make it light up again, and continued to say to the woman inside the door: "My friend Stuck in a hotel, can you help me?"

'click'

At this moment, the wooden door inside the iron fence door was opened, and a woman in her 40s looked up at Yi Lang and asked, "Is your friend trapped inside?"

Yilang looked at the woman, she was about 1.6 meters tall, she was wearing a rustic brown calico pajamas, and a maroon long down jacket was draped over her shoulders, she looked at Yilang through the gate and said: "I haven't been to that hotel for a long time, how can I help you?"

The woman said lightly: "You go, it's so late, I have to rest too."

"Auntie," Yilang stretched out his hand through the gap in the railing, pressed the wooden door the woman wanted to close, and said with a smile, "You know that there was a fire in Yuansheng Hotel 20 years ago. I heard that no one died, but Everyone heard a woman crying, you know about this supernatural event, right?"

The woman paused, shook her head and said, "I don't know."

"You must know," Yi Lang said smugly, "Auntie, it's not easy for us to record the show at night, so please be flexible and tell me what happened that day."

The woman looked at Yi Lang, and finally said helplessly: "Okay then, you come in first, and I'll tell you about what happened that day."

Yilang pulled his hand out from the gap in the fence, and looked at his peeled hand, aggrieved, pasting it to the camera: "Is this considered a work-related injury? Will the program crew reimburse you? It hurts!"

No one paid attention to her, and a group of people quickly entered the house. Yilang realized that the house not only looked dilapidated from the outside, but also found that it was dilapidated and small after entering the door. The two-bedroom and one-living room was full of things. Yi Lang sniffed the smell in the air, and asked wonderingly, "Auntie, do you burn incense at your house?"

The woman nodded and said, "I'm burning incense for my sister."

"Your sister?" Yi Lang looked at a black and white posthumous photo placed in the corner of the living room. It was a photo of a woman who looked very ordinary, and Yi Lang didn't recognize her.

"Yes, she is my sister," the woman said, "Her name is Zhou Huimei."

Yi Lang had never heard of this name before, and looked back at her wonderingly: "Then what's your name?"

The woman said calmly, "My name is Zhou Huiwen."

Zhou Huiwen said to Yilang: "I was an ordinary restaurant waiter in Yuansheng Hotel 20 years ago. The night of New Year's Eve on January 1 was the nightmare of my life."

She said calmly: "Everyone was very happy that day, and everyone gathered together with their families, but I couldn't come back to celebrate the holiday with my parents because of work, so I could only work."

Yi Lang asked her: "Then are you the one who survived the fire?"

Zhou Huiwen didn't immediately reply to Yilang's words, but turned to look at her younger sister's portrait, and asked her, "Do you think my younger sister and I look alike?"

Yilang didn't quite understand what she meant, and there were more than 20 people in the photo, and more than 40 people in front of him, the age gap is here, even if the similarity is not obvious in front of the huge age, Yilang looked at it for a long time before saying: " The eyebrows and eyes are a bit similar."

"We used to look alike," Zhou Huiwen said to Yilang, "My sister is one year younger than me. When I was young, I could tell her age clearly by looking at her head, but as she got older, she grew more and more alike, as if Like twins."

"I was 20 years old that year, and my sister was 19 years old. Because of the policy of the year, she had never registered as a black householder." Zhou Huiwen said: "Our family was also poor, because my parents always wanted a son, so they gave birth to me. After my sister and I had a younger brother, the family fined a lot of money for this, and we sisters also worked hard to make money to supplement the family."

"Both of us have only graduated from junior high school. It is very difficult to find a job. In addition, my sister is a criminal, and no one is willing to hire her to work. And because of my luck, I found a job as a restaurant waiter in Yuansheng Hotel. The salary It was quite impressive at the time, but because of the need to work night shifts, it was always difficult to recruit people, so my sister and I made a total calculation..."

Zhou Huiwen looked at Yilang calmly, and said, "My sister and I decided to share the same identity. She works the night shift and I work the day shift. The two of us earn two jobs together."

***

At 2:50, the four people finally gathered in the hall. Everyone was very happy about the clue Fu Xia had found.

"The newspaper said that the supernatural event was a woman," Zhou Tian said. "Then he can rule out a few security guards, and a boy at the front desk. He can also get rid of it."

"Then there are only two reception desks, two restaurants, and two guest rooms." Gu Jingxi said happily, "This way the target range will be narrowed down."

"The front desk said that the door of the rest room is broken, and it can only be repaired during the daytime on January 1, so one of the several rest rooms must be broken now."

"As for the lounge at the front desk, we went in when we went to investigate before, and it wasn't broken."

"That leaves only the guest rooms and the lounge of the restaurant."

Cheng Wanyu nodded, and said to Fu Xia, "Do you have any ideas?"

Fu Xia watched the three people all staring at her in unison, Fu Xia couldn't help becoming nervous, she was silent for a while before saying: "Actually, I have been thinking about one thing, the program team has done so many things, including The fact that a hotel of that size allows us to investigate should not only allow us to find out who died that night."

"There is always a dead body." Fu Xia looked at everyone and said, "The dead body has never been found. Where will she hide?"
