"That's all?" Li Qing glanced at the thick stack of hard disks in the drawer and asked with an eyebrow. Ten minutes ago, he went down to the basement with boss song and came to the secret room where no second person had entered in more than ten years.
Boss song Tieqing nodded with a face: "it's all here."
"Well." Li Qing nodded, "where's Room 301?"
When boss song heard Li Qing's words, he couldn't help staggering back, and the whole face changed color.
"It's a little special, isn't it?" Li Qing took a deep look at the middle-aged man in front of him. "I'm afraid you've never seen such a scene in your life?"
After swallowing his saliva, boss song pointed to the computer screen: "in the second folder."
Li Qing nodded with a sneer. One hand pressed on the mouse, and the other hand waved at boss song: "go and give me the registration book. I want the check-in information in recent days."
Boss song didn't know what Li Qing wanted, but he nodded honestly, turned and climbed out of the basement.
When boss song took the registration book from the counter and turned it back, Li Qing had also drilled out of the basement. His face was not good-looking. It was obvious that he had just seen the video.
As soon as Li Qing reached out and took over the registration book, he asked in a deep voice, "how many days has he lived here?"
Boss song honestly replied, "it's been eight days. I stayed in on the night of August 21."
Staring at the register in his hand, Li Qing nodded slightly: "don't tell anyone, you know I know."
"Understand, understand." boss song repeatedly promised and watched Li Qing leave the house and go upstairs.
Back in front of Room 302, Li Qing glanced at 301 opposite, and then took out the key from his pocket to open the door.
As soon as the door opened, she saw Lin Qiuqiu standing at the door with a nervous face. She saw that the person who came back was Li Qing. She breathed a sigh of relief and looked a little embarrassed.
"What's the matter with you?" Li Qing asked.
"No... nothing."
"What's in your hand behind your back?"
"I won't show you." Lin Qiuqiu tilted her little head, spun her body like a little rabbit and hopped into the bedroom. Li Qing couldn't let her run away. She threw Lin Qiuqiu's delicate body on the bed and said with a smile, "show me."
"Don't give it or not." Lin Qiuqiu giggled and put his small head against Li Qing's chest. The two made a noise for a while. Li Qing grabbed the thing Lin Qiuqiu hid behind him. It was a small and exquisite pistol.
"Er..." Li Qing was slightly stunned and glanced at Lin Qiuqiu shrinking in his arms. "Are you afraid?"
Mei Mou blinked slightly. Lin Qiuqiu pouted and shouted, "you didn't let me protect myself. Give it back to me."
The jade hand snatched the pistol back. Lin Qiuqiu skillfully pinned it to her waist, then pushed Li Qing away and sat up from the bed. Quite a girl's heart straightened her hair: "I heard a sound outside, and I don't know who came back. If the person living in Room 301 opposite is really Nick, wouldn't it be very dangerous."
Li Qing sighed, turned over and sat up to hold Lin Qiuqiu: "I can't say whether this is a good thing or a bad thing. In short, the tenant opposite is him."
"Ah?" Lin Qiuqiu opened her mouth in amazement. "You already know?"
Li Qing nodded: "well, the hotel owner has a problem. There is a basement in his bedroom on the first floor with instruments and equipment. Everyone who lives here is under his surveillance, including Room 301. I just saw the video in recent days. Nick's injury is still not light, but after so many days of rest, it's not so easy to kill him."
Lin Qiuqiu stared at Mei Mei: "the boss looks honest, but he speaks so heavily in private. Nick looks like that... Isn't he afraid of nightmares at night?"
"Human nature is engraved in the bones, but it can't be seen from the appearance alone." Li Qing smiled and touched Lin Qiuqiu's head, and then handed the registration book in his hand to her. "This is the check-in record of recent days. The hotel owner said he stayed in on the night of August 21 and has lived for eight days."
"Let me see." Lin Qiuqiu opened the registration book and looked at it item by item. "There was no significant change in the number of daily guests before and after his check-in. Even if the port supervision office had found Nick's trace, there was no large-scale scheduling."
Li Qing whispered, "this small hotel is not big at all. Even if you don't check in, it's easy to monitor. Moreover, at the level of the port supervision office, even if only one or two people participate, it's quite not easy."
"You have a point, but there is too little information in the registration book. We simply have no way to know whether there are people from the inspector's office among these new tenants."
Li Qing frowned: "is it possible to start from the room location? For example, room 209 here is located at the entrance of the stairs, which is convenient to monitor the third floor. At the same time, the guests checked in three days ago and haven't left yet."
Lin Qiuqiu pursed her lips: "it's unlikely. It's an extreme way to infer the identity of guests based on the location of the room. When each guest checks in, the room is randomly assigned by the hotel owner, not their free choice. It's too rare to live in a room like you, and it's bound to arouse the suspicion of others."
Li Qing fell into deep thought, but Lin Qiuqiu suddenly raised her head and stared at him and said, "what we just talked about is based on the premise that the inspector's office has found Nick's trace. Is there another possibility that we are the first discoverer? Otherwise, why don't the inspector's office start first?" after a moment of silence, Li Qing slowly opened his mouth and his voice was very low: "It's also possible... They are waiting for us to do it first." Lin Qiuqiu instantly understood Li Qing's meaning and couldn't help asking, "don't you plan to wait any longer?" Li Qing looked down at her watch: "do it when it gets dark. Don't wait. When I go out, lock the door and hide in the house..." Boss song went round and round the house. He saw the clock ticking around six o'clock. It was time for dinner. He had called all the guest rooms before, pretending that the stove was broken tonight and asked them to eat out. The guests who often ate downstairs sighed, but there was nothing to do. At this time, many people had gone out, and there was a sudden rush in the small hotel However, it was much cleaner. After hesitation, boss song went to the kitchen to prepare dinner for tenant 301 and carried the tray to the third floor. He was not a fool. He knew he should not participate in this kind of thing, but he just couldn't help but want to find out the details of the three guests on the third floor. Walking carefully through the corridor, boss song stopped outside the room. He was full of vigilance towards Room 302 Glancing at it, he put the tray beside the door, raised his hand and knocked on the door of Room 301. "Brother, it's time to eat." "put it outside." there was a slightly hoarse voice in the room. Boss song answered, but didn't go away. Sure enough, after a while, people in the room spoke again, "is anyone here this afternoon?" "ah." Boss song nodded. "There are two guests." "I saw the car parked outside. Is it theirs?" "yes." "do you live in the room opposite me?" Boss song didn't speak, but he didn't dare to answer. The silver gray car Li Qing drove when he came was a world limited edition. If it wasn't his unusual status, he couldn't buy it with a lot of money, no wonder Nick would notice the problem at the first time. He couldn't help sweating out. Boss song moved back half a step. When he was about to turn and run away, the room in front of him The door suddenly opened a gap. "I..." boss song just opened his mouth. Before he could say anything, he suddenly put out a hand from the crack of the door, grabbed the collar and pulled him in. "Ah." boss song screamed. He just felt that the whole person was thrown to the ground and his brain was buzzing. "They're coming, aren't they?" Nick stood in front of boss song, lowered his voice and asked in a deep voice. Turning over, boss song glanced at the man in front of him. The dark and ferocious scars on each other's cheeks were like winding earthworms, strange and terrible. But this face is much better than the blood and flesh blur a few days ago. "You're not surprised." Nick grinned gently. The scar on his chin was involved, like a worm wriggling. "Why aren't you surprised at all?" boss song suddenly changed his face and hurriedly moved back: "I... I saw you wrapped a blanket when you came, and I guessed that there might be a problem with your face..." is there a problem? "Nick bit his teeth, "You mean I have a problem!" He was about to go crazy when suddenly there was a knock on the door outside. Nick stretched out his finger to boss song, turned and quietly approached the door. He wanted to see the movement outside the door through the peephole on the door, but just put his eyes close to him, but he found it was dark. His eyebrows frowned. Before Nick could react, the door suddenly clicked and exploded Then a long and narrow dagger with a silver flash pierced the hole in the door and inserted it into Nick's right eye. "Ah!" Blood gushed out. Nick screamed bitterly, covered his right eye, fell to the ground and rolled continuously. Li Qing sneered outside the door, pulled out the dagger between his fingers from the door, and then lifted his foot to open the door and rushed into the room. "Li Qing!"
