Chapter 1218

From beginning to end, this entrustment exudes the smell of "thorny", "troublesome" and "difficult", whether from the entrustment method of anonymous letter or the complexity of entrustment location.

Having said that, if you pick up the answer, make complaints about how to do the next step.

According to the routine of each entrustment in the past, the system should directly skip the process of "going" in the middle, and only show the story of "just arrived" in front of the player.

In other words, after accepting the entrustment, you should point out that the picture should appear in the entrusted hotel as soon as it turns, rather than forcing the wind on the way.

On the contrary, it also shows that there may be some clues worthy of players' attention on the road, which can help the next plot, so the plot of "on the way" is arranged.

However, an Yizhi tried to talk to the bus driver, but he only got information that seemed useless.

The first is that it is now in the off-season. Tourists like an Yizhi and Shuidao Mengzi rarely go to the town during this period.

The second is that after the completion of the expressway led by the mayor, the number of passengers should be more.

No, that's all.

An Yizhi had planned to ask about the town, but the driver didn't seem to want to say more on this topic. He just made a ha ha and walked around.

This makes people feel even more unreliable. Mom, there shouldn't be anything unspeakable lurking in that small town!

In addition, about the anonymous letter, an Yizhi didn't ask the bus driver. No matter whether he knew about the anonymous letter or not, the risk of speaking rashly is not low. Who knows if it will trigger any strange flag to kill a wave of plot.

In a remote place like this, kill two people and throw them into the snow. It's guaranteed that the police can't find them. The wild wolves in the mountains have dragged the body away long ago.

In order not to cause meaningless death, an Yizhi decided to enter the town as a passenger and act like "Lao Tzu is here to play".

As for entrustment?

Since the client chooses to ask an Yizhi to come to this place, he will naturally show up and explain when he arrives. It's really impossible. It's estimated that something will happen. There must be no need to worry about the entry point.

An Yi means that he hopes that something will happen directly, such as a homicide. It is convenient to call the police directly and let the police come. The police are more or less at ease.

——At least the police have guns.

An Yi pointed out that the place where he appeared was not far from the town. Even if the speed of the snowmobile was not fast, he continued to move forward for less than ten minutes. After climbing over a not steep flat hillside, he could see a small town surrounded by ice and snow.

Thanks to not being far away, an Yizhi estimated that if he continued to carry it in a snow car without a windshield, 80% of it would be blown into a popsicle - it was a bright and cool heart.

Entering the edge of the town, the bus driver pointed to Ann and threw them off the bus. The rest of the road can only be on foot.

Looking up, you can see the continuous mountains behind the town and the huge crater in the distance. It is still emitting thick smoke.

In other words, the travel guide attached to the anonymous letter said that the town was once famous for excavating gemstones. However, it is rich in groundwater resources and active volcanoes. Are you really not afraid to dig underground veins or magma?

But on second thought, that's right. After all, the power of money is infinite.

"Where shall we go first?"

Shuidao Mengzi was also frozen, and the whole person curled up in a down jacket.

"Go to the hotel first and look at the town on the way."

There are also two hotel invitations in the anonymous letter. It is estimated that the main stage of this entrustment is the hotel. Go and see if you may meet the client.

The most important thing is that it's not cold. There are at least hot springs to soak in the hotel.

After entering the town, there are some noteworthy situations.

For example, most of the shops on the road are closed, and most of the pedestrians on the road are the elderly and children. They are rarely seen by young adults. It feels like young adults have run out to work.

There's nothing wrong with this. After all, according to the travel manual, the gem mines that the town depends on for a living have dried up, and now it's the off-season for tourism. Most young people go to work outside the mountain to support their families.

In addition, an Yizhi also found that the town has the habit of making snowmen.

It may be strange to say so. What's so strange about making snowmen in a small northern town full of ice and snow?

It's really not strange, but every intersection has a strange snowman with slightly different details, but roughly the same, which is a little different.

An ordinary snowman is stacked with two or three snowballs, and then inserted with things like carrot branches to make it look more like a person, and the snowman here

It seems that two square pieces of snow are stacked, and then the shape is carved on it. Finally, a layer of water is sprayed, so that the shape of the snowman will not change in the severe cold.

The specific appearance is more like something like an orangutan than a snowman. The most remarkable feature is the huge eyes and a cracked mouth, which is strange.

Think about it carefully. There should be no element of kesulu myth in this copy. Many commissions have been made in front. In addition, the difficulty of that thing is a little higher. It feels that this kind of snowman is more like a unique folk custom in a remote town.

While wandering in the town, they asked passers-by for directions. Soon they found the hotel mentioned in the invitation.

It is located in the "innermost part" of the town, close to a large mountain range, and there are many similar hotels around, focusing on hot springs.

Basically, this street is occupied by these hotels. Occasionally, there are other small shops that do tourism business.

However, as others said, it is now in the off-season of tourism. Except for an Yizhi and Shuidao Mengzi, they really haven't seen any other tourists go in and out of these hotels.

After looking at the three story Hotel, an Yizhi led Shuidao Mengzi to go in. As soon as you enter the door, there is a wide hall. The hall is very empty. You can see many sofas, tea tables and other things for passengers, but no one uses them anymore.

Warm lights provide lighting, and the heating in the start-up state also makes the numb fingers feel much more comfortable. An Yizhi saw a woman about 40 years old in front of the counter.

However, she didn't realize that an Yizhi entered the door and seemed to be concentrating on the computer under the counter until an Yizhi knocked on the counter.

"Sorry, I didn't notice."

An Yizhi wanted to see what she was looking at, but due to the angle, he could only see the light from the computer screen.

"We want two rooms."

"Sorry, this hotel is temporarily closed and will not entertain new guests."

"Out of business?"

Looking back at Mizushima Mengzi, the latter took out two invitations from his down jacket and put them on the counter:

"What about these invitations?"

When she saw the invitation, she changed her mind:

"So you have an invitation. Please follow me."

She said, left the counter, went to the front to show the way and made a sign of invitation. Then he explained:

"Because there are not many employees in the hotel, we can't entertain more guests. Only guests with invitations like you can stay."

When she said this, an Yizhi felt that something would happen to the hotel. After all, fewer people mean fewer suspects, which is convenient for players to solve cases

Of course, it's one thing to think so in your heart, but it's another thing to say.

Following her through the long corridor, it seemed that the rooms arranged for an Yizhi and Shuidao Mengzi were on the first floor, because they skipped an elevator without hesitation.

It didn't stop until it was close to the edge of the hotel and you could see the snow mountain scenery outside through the window in the corridor.

Open the door with the room card, enter it and look around.

It's a standard single room. On the whole, it's pretty good. It's not luxurious and elegant, but it's very clean and comfortable.

"The lady's room is next door. You can use it, Mr. an."

She said and handed the room card to an, but the latter immediately realized that something was wrong.

I never said my name, did I?

And the entry process doesn't seem to comply with the regulations of the hotel. I didn't even register.

The middle-aged woman who led them closed the door with a bang as soon as she was alert. An Yizhi thought he ran into the trap. Before he took measures, which middle-aged woman apologized directly to an Yizhi.

"Mr. an, thank you for your willingness to accept my entrustment. Please forgive my rudeness."

"Er... Are you the client?"

An Yizhi also considered the possibility of the client running out by himself, but this possibility is not high due to the way the client entrusts by anonymous letter.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he arrived at the hotel, the other party came to an undisguised straight ball.

"Well, my name is Rosa. I'm the landlady of this hotel."

She said and made a gesture of invitation to the sofa not far away. When the people were seated, an pointed and asked:

"Ms. Rosa, isn't it inappropriate to publicize what you want us to investigate?"

The other party put on a look of great concern that the walls have ears. Is the so-called murder 20 years ago so taboo?

"Yes, I'm afraid the prisoner will jump over the wall."

prisoner?

Is it the suspect in the murder 20 years ago mentioned in the letter?

"Do you know who the prisoner is?"

Rosa shook her head and said:

"No, I don't know. Please look at these first."

She took out a pile of envelopes from her arms and put them on the tea table.

An Yizhi picked up one of them and opened it with the permission of the other party. There was only one piece of paper and only one sentence on it:

"Get out of town now, or you won't come to a good end"

The handwriting of the letter was cut and pasted from the words in the newspaper. Without leaving any notes, he opened another one and said, "do as I say, or your daughter..."

The letter also attached a photo of a blonde girl greeting guests, about the same age as an Yizhi. From the location of the photo, it should be taken secretly.

It looks like a very typical threatening letter, threatening the life safety of relatives to achieve some purposes.

But

Didn't I come to investigate the murder? What the hell is a threatening letter?
