Chapter 137: Deceased Wife (25)
Shi Jinzhe told the three of them his guess.
Manager Zhang may be a victim who successfully survived.
She is intelligent, talented, proactive, and has a motive to kill.
"If that's the case, then we are really limited in our thinking."
Meng Chengxi frowned as he spoke, and squeezed his eyes twice to relieve fatigue. "Three dead and one disabled, so she stayed in this hotel all this time, did she do that just to kill Lu Xiaohui?"
Shi Jinzhe said: "It may also be to keep an eye on Lu Xiaohui. Do you remember the layout of the seventh floor? Lu Xiaohui's place completely trapped herself, with a blocked fire escape and a fence door. With this design, she won't be able to escape if something happens."
"She..." Sheh thought of the snake skin that Manager Zhang took last night.
The snake sloughs and the copper coins were placed together to ward off evil spirits, definitely to drive away the three ghosts, and Manager Zhang chose to walk with the snake sloughs in his arms at midnight...
"She was protecting the people in the hotel, reminding them not to go out at night, burning incense in the corridor, and she must have been the one who locked Liu Run into the operating room. She didn't want us to wander around at night because it would be dangerous."
The more Xiao Fang listened, the more regretful he felt: "I really don't know what those four people did to make such a person want to kill them."
As he spoke, he hunched his shoulders and suddenly felt very cold: "Do you feel a little cold? It's that kind of... chill."
After Xiao Fang said this, Shi Jinzhe also felt a cold wind blowing through his clothes, just like suddenly entering an air-conditioned room of 16 degrees from a hot day. The temperature difference was very obvious.
He approached Sheh: "Did something happen? The temperature dropped so obviously?"
Sheh shook his head: "I don't know. I didn't detect anything unusual on the third and fifth floors. However, this game has 30% escape elements. Now that it has been smooth sailing for the third day, danger should also appear."
"If you hadn't told me, I would have forgotten there was an escape plan."
Shi Jinzhe really didn't think about this matter. With Shehe around him, he always felt that it was not a big problem.
This mentality is not acceptable. He has become lazy and needs to change it.
"So are we going to continue investigating now, or take a rest?"
"Go ahead and look for it. I want to leave here quickly." Sheh didn't like staying in the dungeon. The living conditions were poor and it was very torturous.
"Are you tired then?"
"Not tired."
"Then let's go." Shi Jinzhe asked Meng Chengxi again, "Are you still coming together?"
"Go." Meng Chengxi pushed himself up and got off the bed. "Follow your girlfriend so you can eat meat. Besides, I want to leave early, too."
"Then...can I go too?" Xiao Fang asked weakly.
For the first time, he experienced the joy of being carried away. Following these three people, he had grasped half of the truth in the fog, and he wanted to seize this opportunity.
"If you have work to do, let me run errands. If you need my services, just let me know."
Shi Jinzhe nodded: "Follow me."
Xiao Fang is a very honest person and does his job in a proper manner. He has no problem running errands when necessary.
A quarter past seven in the morning.
The four of them went down to the restaurant on the first floor to have breakfast.
On the third day, the meals at the Peace Hotel were much simpler. The only vegetarian dishes left were pickled vegetables and long-lasting thick leafy vegetables, some meat, and only two staple foods.
After picking up a piece of stir-fried green beans with chopsticks, Shi Jinzhe said, "There aren't many vegetarian dishes left. Let's try to finish this instance today."
Xiao Fang's chopsticks holding the meat stopped in the air, not knowing whether to continue: "What is the connection between the two?"
Shi Jinzhe pointed at himself and said: "In my first dungeon, the meat in the last few days was less than that of the players. It was an old player with a conscience who reminded me, and then I confirmed that the meat was really problematic."
Xiao Fang shuddered and put the meat down.
There are not many people in the restaurant. So far, only one player, Liu Run, has died, and the others are still developing.
He had lost his appetite and just watched other people idly.
A few meters away from Shi Jinzhe's table, there was a man and a woman sitting at another table. The man kept rubbing his arms, as if he was very cold.
The woman next to him formed a great contrast with him. She sat there eating the marinated meat calmly. When she noticed someone was staring at her, she looked straight at Xiao Fang.
In Xiao Fang's opinion, it was a very offensive look, sweeping people from head to toe with slanted eyes, which made him very uncomfortable.
The woman glanced at Xiao Fang, then at her deskmate Meng Chengxi, and still looked dissatisfied.
It was not until she saw Shi Zhe lowering his head and talking to Sheh that she showed an expression of "this is good enough".
The three of them seemed like commodities being evaluated and measured by her, and no one knew what she was choosing.
Xiao Fang quietly used his elbow to nudge Meng Chengxi, and spoke in a voice as loud as a mosquito buzzing in his ear, "Brother Meng, look at the woman with long hair on the left."
Meng Chengxi pretended to be indifferent and threw the chopsticks to the ground, and while picking up the chopsticks he secretly glanced at the woman Xiao Fang was talking about.
She looked to be about twenty years old and was constantly checking out the others.
The man next to her wanted to put his arm around her shoulders, but the woman rolled her eyes and pushed him away in disgust.
That look, how can I describe it.
Meng Chengxi felt like he was looking at an ignorant child...
He gave Shi Jinzhe a look, and he made the shape of the word "ghost" with his mouth.
Wang Luan's name was spoken silently, and Meng Chengxi reacted immediately.
Shekh didn't have to do anything himself, and for a moment he silently examined the woman while he ate.
She asked, "Is the tooth I gave you still there?"
"Here I am."
"Take it out and wear it on your body. It will protect you."
Players are different from the natives. Wang Luan can possess the players, so she must have become stronger.
Sheh slowed down his chewing and listened attentively to the movements of a man and a woman over there.
"Aru, I feel so cold, give me the thing you found."
"Can't find it."
"What did you say?" The man raised his voice and then immediately controlled the volume.
"How could you lose it? The snake skin is used to ward off evil spirits. It wasn't easy for me to steal it from the second floor. Please look for it carefully!"
"I'm afraid of snakes. I don't know when I lost it."
"Oh my...you are really..."
When Shekh heard this, he understood that the two men had taken the snake skin from the second floor.
No wonder the hotel suddenly became so cold, it turned out that someone destroyed the layout on the second floor.
