"What? Another... another one died!?"
"Mingzi, please don't scare me. Counting the old woman who was killed first, this, this is the fourth resident who died in two months. If you dare to trick me, be careful. I will spare you this." Monthly salary!”
"Boss, I'm so busy making fun of you? Why should I lie to you? I just saw it with my own eyes when I went to clean the guest room. It almost scared me to death. Although the one who died last week was weird enough. Yes, I didn’t expect it to be even scarier this time. If I hadn’t been braver, I would have been stunned like the sea.”
"What? The way to die this time is..."
"Those who starve to death, those who starve to death alive, their bodies are all so thin that they are almost out of shape!"
"When did that person check into our hotel? How long has he stayed?"
"Well, it seems, it seemed to be last night."
"What!"
"Mingzai, you bastard is really making fun of me. He moved in yesterday and is starving to death today? Who believes this? Do you believe it yourself? I have only lived here for one day, even if this person has not moved in since then It is impossible to go without eating or drinking for a day..."
His voice became lower and lower, and he became less and less confident. Finally, he became silent as he spoke, a long and speechless silence.
"Mingzai, the guest who starved to death is..."
"Same as the first two, he is still from mainland China. It happened to be a coincidence that when the man came to check in yesterday, I happened to be chatting with A Bin at the front desk, so I looked up at the housing registration."
Still silent, still silent, but this time there was a hint of chill in it.
After a long time...
"I remember the first mainland resident hanged himself, right?"
"Yes, hanging."
"The second one is..."
"Dead of thirst."
"This time he died of starvation. Except for the first one that hanged himself, which can barely be explained, the second and this time are really incomprehensible."
"Boss, what should I do?"
"First call the police and contact the police. By the way, after calling the police, remember to inform all the hotel housekeepers and front desk receptionists. No matter whether they are off duty or on duty, they all come to the hotel for a meeting tonight. I have something to announce."
A few hours later, at night, in a conference room in the hotel.
"Everyone, this is your bonus for this month, three times in total. In addition, I want to announce something. From now on, our Tsim Sha Tsui hotel will not allow mainlanders to stay at our hotel. This matter will be kept confidential. Anyone who leaks it will be fired! "
………
With a sense of luck and suppressing the ecstasy in his heart, A Bin put 8 US dollars into his pocket. After doing all this, as expected, A Bin seemed to have finally made up his mind and flew towards He He with a smile on his face. He nodded and said: "Okay, since sir wants to know the details, then I will tell you, but you must not leak it to others."
He Fei nodded affirmatively. Seeing the other party's agreement, A Bin no longer hesitated and swallowed. Then his expression changed, becoming no longer natural and smiling, and finally turned into a look of fear. He raised his head and looked around to make sure there was no one else around, and then lowered his voice and said to He Fei and He Fei: "Actually, not only you mainland guests, but also the local residents are also confused by the boss's rule that prohibits mainlanders from staying in the hotel. Fortunately, I I have worked for a long time and am quite trusted by my boss, so I know a little bit about the reason."
At this point, A Bin paused again, and finally said in a lower voice: "Because, in our Tsim Sha Tsui hotel..."
"Noisy!"
………
"Anyway, I have been working in this hotel for almost three years. I still know about things like this. I remember a grandma checked into our Tsim Sha Tsui hotel a year ago. Unexpectedly, she died on the third day of her stay and was taken to the hotel room. The housekeeping staff found him dead in the room."
"At that time, the hotel immediately called the police. Through on-site investigation, the police found that all the grandma's money and valuables had been stolen. They initially determined it to be robbery and homicide. A week later, they did find the real murderer through on-site fingerprint identification, but the murderer was a mainlander. And that person had already returned to the mainland and disappeared. The police station contacted the mainland police, but there has been no news since then."
After listening to A Bin's narration and the clues emerging, He Fei interjected: "Is it a robbery and murder case? So what does this have to do with the hotel banning mainlanders from staying?"
It was obvious that the college student had grasped the key from beginning to end. Seeing the other party questioning him, Abin put out the cigarette butt in the ashtray, exhaled and continued: "It does matter, of course it does, but what happens next is much more terrifying. Well, one month after my grandmother was killed, another male guest died in our hotel room one day. This death was a bit strange. After police investigation, although the deceased was dead, all his belongings and wallet were missing. It had not been lost, and no other fingerprints could be found in the guest room except for the deceased's personal fingerprints. It was a suicide by hanging. It looked like a suicide. In the end, forensic identification confirmed that it was a suicide. The only exception was that this was discovered when the identity of the deceased was investigated. The guest is a mainlander, not a local Hong Konger."
"Of course, is there a day in the world where no one dies? And a day when no one commits suicide? It is undeniable that the death of two people in a month does have some impact on the hotel business, but there is nothing we can do about it? The boss could only force it at first. I thought I was unlucky, and in order to restore my previous business, I even launched a housing discount, but..."
After saying this, his voice paused, and when he looked at A Bin again, he saw that the other person's expression changed and became more and more unnatural. His whole person seemed to be stuck in some kind of past that he didn't want to look back on, until He Fei coughed lightly. With a sound, he suddenly came to his senses, scratched his face, and then A Bin followed closely and continued:
"If no one cared about it at the beginning, and if everyone, including the boss, only thought that the hotel was unlucky, then what happened in the next few months would be really unexplainable, because since then the mainland man committed suicide in the hotel Later, in just two months, several guests died in hotel rooms. One died of thirst for no apparent reason, and the other died of starvation for no apparent reason. After police investigation and forensic examination, they were both determined to be suicides. Not only were they all suicides, they were even more bizarre. The strange thing is that these dead people are still mainlanders!"
"so……"
"From then on, our boss made a rule that mainland tourists are only allowed to eat in hotels and are not allowed to stay here. Any receptionist who dares to break the rules will be fired. Finally, he told us not to talk nonsense. Anyone who says the same thing will be fired. Because The boss also gave everyone three times the bonus as hush money, but strangely enough, since this rule was implemented, there has never been a fatal incident in our Tsim Sha Tsui hotel."
When A Bin said this, he specifically raised his head and glanced at He Fei and Cheng Ying opposite him, seeming to imply that you mainlanders should leave as soon as possible. Staying in this hotel will be life-threatening!
Unfortunately, A Bin's good intentions were not ignored by anyone, and both He Fei and He Fei turned a deaf ear to his hints.
After A Bin told the two of them what he knew without reservation, at this moment, whether it was He Fei or Cheng Ying, the two of them understood, or it was not until this moment that they understood why the hotel owner would set such a rule. , if you think about it from another person’s perspective, if a hotel has a mainlander staying in it, they will die inexplicably in the hotel. Let’s not talk about how they died. The frequent murders alone are enough to have a serious impact on the hotel business. It is estimated that no one will be the boss. He would not turn a blind eye, and in the end he would set the above seemingly bizarre and strange rules.
It seems that everyone really misjudged the receptionist at first, and it is understandable that the boss made such a decision. After all, no one wants to have murders in their hotel all day long, which will seriously affect the business, and even more so. What's more, anyone who learns about this will feel extremely evil.
A Bin felt evil, the boss felt evil, and the rest of the hotel staff felt evil. It is conceivable that even these plot characters thought the hotel was in trouble. In this case, how could He Fei not pay attention to it?
As a result, He Fei fell into deep thought, bowing his head and keeping silent in this desolate time in the middle of the morning and midnight.
After pondering for a moment, He Feicai looked up at A Bin as if he suddenly remembered something and asked: "By the way, what was the name of the grandmother who first died in your hotel? How did she look like?"
After listening to the other party's inquiry, Abin scratched his head and replied: "Well, well, I don't have much impression of what happened after so long..."
Since it had been nearly a year, A Bin really couldn't remember the other party's information. He was about to shake his head, but the next second he raised his hand and patted his head again and said: "Ah, by the way, our hotel's guest accommodation registration The information is cleared once a year, and if nothing else happens, the original registration information of the old lady should still be stored in the information room."
He Fei was immediately overjoyed after hearing this and hurriedly urged: "Where is the reference room? Take us there quickly!"
The young man was full of hope and urged again and again. Unexpectedly, Abin shrugged and spread his hands helplessly: "It doesn't matter whether you lead the way or not. It's very close anyway. There are reference rooms on both sides of the corridor on the left side of the first floor, but it's locked all the time. And I’m just a little receptionist, so I definitely don’t have a key. The key is usually with the manager on duty, so I’m sorry, I…”
A Bin originally thought that his words of truth would make the other party give up his thoughts, but unfortunately he still thought wrong. Just like the hint just now, the other party completely ignored it, and his reaction was even weirder. As soon as he finished speaking, He Fei said with a slight smile. : "Is it locked? Haha, this is not a problem. Come on, please take us to the data room."
(Huh? Not a problem?)
………
Leaving the hall and turning into the corridor, the three of them were soon standing in front of a white room door marked as a reference room.
After confirming that the location was correct, He Fei first took hold of the handle and twisted it. Seeing that it was not moving at all, and seeing that the lock was indeed stronger, he then patted Cheng Ying beside him on the shoulder and said, "This time it's an internal lock, um. ,it should be no problem?"
Perhaps sensing a hint of uncertainty in the young man's tone, Cheng Ying immediately curled up her lips and replied: "Oh, what about an internal lock and an external lock, just this low-level anti-theft lock... Although opening doors and lock picking is not my main job, okay? , give me a minute."
After replying to the young man with a disdainful tone, Cheng Ying moved. Under the gaze of He Fei and A Bin, she walked straight to the door. Then she took out a piece of wire from her pocket and inserted it into the keyhole. In order to broaden her horizons, and at the same time He Fei also cooperated very well by taking out his flashlight and shining it on the door lock.
"Ah, you...you guys, do you want to..."
Sure enough, A Bin was startled and dumbfounded by the actions of the two people at the door. He was about to say something to stop him, and was about to reach out to stop him, but He Fei's right arm suddenly stretched out and wrapped his shoulders, holding him tightly. After restraining A Bin on the spot, He Fei also smiled and explained: "Mr. A Bin, don't panic, we just want to see grandma's information, you don't have to be so nervous, I promise nothing will happen."
While talking, He Fei magically stuffed 5 US dollars into A Bin's hand.
It is said that money can make you go around. Although this may not be 100% correct, at least it has a significant effect on A Bin. He instinctively lowered his head and looked at the shiny banknotes that appeared in his hands. A Bin hesitated for a moment and finally kept silent.
As for Cheng Ying, her skills are really not something she can rely on.
Alright.
Tens of seconds later, with a slight crisp sound, Cheng Ying exhaled, retracted the wire, then held the doorknob and twisted it hard.
Click!
Immediately, the door of the data room was opened, and it was easily opened with the help of a small wire, which also made A Bin who was standing aside further stunned.
The three of them entered the data room and looked around. Sure enough, they saw a large amount of documents and materials piled up on the desks, chairs and surrounding bookshelves. They turned on the lights and took a closer look. Indeed, there were many registration files for residents, and they were worth mentioning. What's amazing is that these accommodation registration forms are very detailed. Not only do they contain regular records such as the names and identities of the guests, but a large part of them even have black and white photos of the guests. It is worthy of being a famous hotel in Mong Kok. The guest information is really detailed. Seeing this, why? Fei immediately took action, and together with Cheng Ying, they both quickly rummaged under A Bin's guidance.
"I found it, come and see!"
After rummaging for a long time, He Fei and Cheng Ying finally turned around with a surprised voice from A Bin, and saw the other party standing in front of a pile of guest room registration forms, and the registration form shaking in their hands was particularly eye-catching!
Seeing this, He Fei suddenly felt happy, and without saying a word, he snatched the information from A Bin's hand, and immediately started watching it with Cheng Ying. He immediately looked at the photo, but...
With the help of the overhead electric light, when they could see clearly the face of the grandmother in the photo, the next moment, the two of them opened their eyes almost at the same time with shock on their faces!
because……
The face in the photo looked familiar, or they knew each other. All the executors had seen it before. It was undeniable that He Fei had thought about it after hearing about the strange things in the hotel from A Bin, but Rao had something. Mentally prepared, even if he had some guesses in his mind, He Fei was still shocked when he saw the photo with his own eyes.
At this moment, the photo on the file was of an old woman, and the woman's appearance was exactly the same as the woman he met on the suburban road before!
Looking at the name of the guest, it says: Qi Longlan. As mentioned above, He Fei actually vaguely guessed from the beginning that the old lady who died in the hotel was probably related to the strange old lady he met in the suburbs before, but he was never sure. It was not until now after browsing the guest registration form that the young man fully understood After confirming their initial guess, another reason why he and Cheng Ying were still surprised was...
The grandma named Qi Longlan looks exactly like the dragon woman in the movie "Yin Yang Road". Although he had seen this grandma on the suburban road, at that time he focused all his attention on his feet. At that time, the cliff seemed familiar and he didn't think much about it. But now, after seeing his grandma's appearance clearly through the photos, the young man recalled this detail.
With a backlog of thoughts and doubts, He Fei took a general look at the information below. Half a minute later, he put the form back to its original place. The three of them left the information room, and the door was locked again.
Back in the lobby, He Fei patted the receptionist A Bin on the shoulder with satisfaction and expressed his gratitude to him. Although this person was both bullying and greedy for money, in any case, the other party helped him and the executor, and provided him with one after another. A lot of valuable information.
The rest of the matter was simple. He thanked the other party for his "paid help" and specifically asked the other party to delete the monitoring. With various clues in mind, He Fei and Cheng Ying rushed upstairs together.
Perhaps because of his conscience and perhaps because he got too many benefits from the other party tonight and was grateful to He Fei, when he saw the two of them returning upstairs, A Bin couldn't help but said: "Sir, I will follow the instructions You asked me to delete the surveillance video tonight. After all, I was also involved in this matter, but..."
"You guys, do you still want to live here?"
In fact, the meaning of A Bin's words is very obvious, so obvious that anyone who knows the whole story can understand it instantly. Yes, just as the receptionist A Bin wants to express at this moment, aren't you afraid of death? Obviously you are all mainlanders, and you have all learned the terrible truth about hotel troublemakers and even the ghosts who specialize in killing mainlanders. So it stands to reason that at times like this, anyone with a clear head would know what to do next. Of course check out and leave the hotel immediately!
Unexpectedly, the young man opposite who seemed to be the leader of the team was completely unmoved. It seemed that he still planned to stay in the hotel and return to his room to rest!
Is this person crazy or stupid?
Putting aside the suspicion in A Bin's mind for the moment, after hearing the other party's clearly well-intentioned words of advice, He Fei, who was temporarily stopped, didn't understand the meaning of the other party's words? Why don't you understand that staying here is dangerous? However, he had no choice but to have his own helplessness. If he were a normal person, when he found out that he was in a hotel with a wolf that specialized in killing mainlanders, He Fei would definitely take him with him without hesitation. Wanting everyone to leave here as quickly as possible, however, it is a pity...
Unfortunately, the task requirements stipulate that the executor must solve the supernatural incident on Yin Yang Road within 10 days!
Yes, this mission is not a single survival mission. It is a mission that requires proactive action. The executor cannot avoid dangers and cannot just hide and hide like in the past. If you want to solve the incident, you must be exposed to the incident and the danger, and then get more clues. With more information, it is obvious that the hotel in Tsim Sha Tsui where everyone is currently has a deep connection with the supernatural events. Only by being here can we get more clues. If the executor chooses to escape, once the task time limit is reached, once the supernatural events disappear, Solved, even if the tiger doesn't kill them, the curse will still wipe out all of their group of executors in an instant when the 10th day comes.
At this point, questions arise. Whether it is the old lady Qi I saw through the video at the beginning, the old lady I met on the suburban road, or Qi Longlan in the photo just now, the three of them are almost identical in body shape, appearance and even clothing. They are exactly the same, which undoubtedly proves that these grannies are all the same person, and it also proves that Granny Qi is most likely the key point of the whole incident. In other words, if they, the executors, want to solve the supernatural incident, they must first start with Granny Qi. Starting from the Tsim Sha Tsui Hotel where Grandma Qi first died.
so……
Even if there is indeed a locust, even if the locust really won't let them go, everyone still has to live here and stay here. Only here will they have the greatest chance of getting in touch with the clues and get closer to the truth, so as to find out the clues to solve this supernatural incident. It's life-threatening, but it's better than being forcibly wiped out by a curse even if the incident is still unresolved on the 10th day.
Sad, pitiful, deplorable!
This is the sadness of the executor, and this is He Fei's helplessness!
After all, how many people in this world are not afraid of locusts?
It's not that I don't want to run, it's that I can't run...
If you run away, you will still die.
Perhaps when enough clues are gathered, the Executor will leave the hotel and find another location, but not now.
What He Fei did was really a helpless move.
So this explains everything, the real reason why He Fei decided to stay here even though he knew that there was a mantis in this hotel that specialized in killing mainlanders.
Thinking of this, he shook his head and temporarily put aside the distracting thoughts in his mind. He looked at A Bin below. He Fei didn't say anything. Instead, an idea flashed in his mind. He looked straight towards A Bin as if he suddenly remembered another thing from his thoughts just now. Bin asked: "By the way, Bin, let me ask you something again. After talking for a long time, I almost forgot to ask who the owner of your hotel is?"
Um?
Faced with this sudden question, A Bin was startled. Fortunately, he had some idea of the other party's temperament during the previous contact. Seeing that the leading young man once again made a confused question, A Bin nodded and followed suit, walking straight to The receptionist picked up a book, then trotted over and handed it to He Fei, saying, "Here, read it yourself, it's on the cover."
Cheng Ying, who was beside He Feitong who took the book, both lowered their heads and looked at the book. The first thing that caught their eyes were the words "Hotel Staff Service Manual", and a bust photo of a famous man was printed at the bottom of the cover. A man in a suit and leather tie with a hairy head. In the picture, the man is sitting on a boss's chair with a desk in front of him. The man leans forward slightly on the table and supports his chin with both hands. To be honest, this kind of hair Although the matching clothes are a bit nondescript, overall he still has the temperament of a boss. Of course, this is not the point. As the eyes are further focused, and the eyes are fixed on the man's face, or in other words, the two of them can clearly see the appearance of the boss. Then, the next moment, He Fei's instinct froze, and Cheng Ying's instinct froze.
After being stunned for a few seconds, the two turned to look at each other as if they had agreed, and then said in unison:
"It's actually him!?"
Yes, at this moment, the cover character displayed in their field of vision is none other than the male protagonist played by Lei Yuyang in the original movie "Yin Yang Road" series...
Bi Peter!
