Yanyun Hotel is located in the quiet suburbs of the southwest corner of Hong Kong. Surrounded by trees that are familiar but unnamed, with lush branches and leaves stretched out, there is a bit of literary and fairy tale beauty in the warm light. The Yanyun Hotel is in the middle of these trees.
This area is a bit remote, except for the Yanyun Hotel, there is no half-story building nearby, which means it's a place outside the world. In such places, buses and subways are bound to be out of reach, so the people who come to eat here are only the "rich people" who drive private cars.
Of course, it doesn't matter whether you are really rich or pretending to be rich.
Such remote and quiet places can always associate people with words such as elegance and loftyness. In addition, the hotel itself is made by first-class designers at home and abroad from design to decoration. His chefs are also young people with high academic qualifications and high abilities. Their reputation has attracted the attention of a bunch of self-proclaimed "high-level people". When they are open, they want to give them a try.
This is like a kind of strange authentication. You can enter the door of the hotel, indicating that you have a channel to get this news, and that you are the group of people who can enjoy high-end services. Always failing to see it will also produce a kind of self-satisfaction psychology.
The Yanyun Hotel has five floors. The first floor is the lobby, the second floor and the third floor are the restaurant, the fourth floor is the accommodation, and the fifth floor is the open-air restaurant.
The most particular thing is this open-air restaurant on the fifth floor. The installation is like a fairy tale world in a girl's dream, but it is not necessary to say that it is mature and elegant, and white is the main thing, and black is supplemented. It is not an exaggeration to say that the gentlemen come to talk about the land. Unknown to the designer, the restaurant on the fifth floor has become a place loved by men, women and children.
But the only problem is that although the place is large, there is no need to have separate private rooms on the second and third floors. The open-air space on the fifth floor has only one space, so it can only receive a group of guests every night. This has led to the continuous business on the fifth floor of the Yanyun Hotel since its opening. Whether you have money or not, you can only rely on queuing.
To run such a popular hotel, the owner must not be in the pool. The owner of this hotel has a reputation in Hong Kong's wealthy circles. Of course, this was also two years ago. The owner is named Qiu Ju, and he is the only son of the Qiu family who used to be the most famous in the financial world.
However, two years ago, the Qiu family suffered a family turmoil and went bankrupt overnight. Because of this accident, the Qiu family's elders were admitted to the hospital with serious illness within two months, and unfortunately passed away. And Qiu Ju was nowhere to be seen.
Unexpectedly, two years later, Qiu Ju returned to Hong Kong and built such a hotel, which won the attention of many celebrities as soon as it opened. Since its opening one and a half months, it has been well managed, and I don't know how much gold and silver it has put in the bag.
Old people familiar with the Qiu family have found Qiu Ju. It is said that Qiu Ju sold the last real estate in the family. After paying off his debts, he left for a long distance, went to Europe, met a noble person, and with the support of the noble person, he did some business. After making a lot of money, he returned to China and started his own business again.
But no one knows what business is going on in Europe.
Qiu Ju took the elevator to the fifth floor, and the waiter was clearing the restaurant on the fifth floor in an orderly manner. Today’s game was invited by Yang Ji, and the number of people invited was only twelve or three. Therefore, Qiu Ju called
The noodlers prepared a long table in advance and placed it in the center of the restaurant, adding more decorations on both sides to make the space more lively.
Thinking of Yang Ji's name, Qiu Ju looked far away, unable to discern his expression.
The foreman wearing a stand-collar tuxedo walked to Qiu Ju's side and said respectfully: "General manager, everything is ready."
Qiu Ju looked around, nodded, and said to the foreman: "I won't come up for a while. You are responsible for entertaining guests tonight. If you have anything to do, call the internal number of my office."
"Yes." The foreman was a little surprised.
Qiu Ju has always been a meticulous, careful and dedicated person. Since the hotel opened for a month and a half, every wine bureau will check it out in person. Only in Yang Ji's wine bureau, Qiu Ju will leave the matter to them. For example, today I put the matter completely on their shoulders.
Night fell.
It's seven forty in the evening.
Yang Ji and the eleven people he invited ate at the open-air restaurant on the fifth floor of the Yanyun Hotel.
Everyone was talking and laughing.
The waiter puts the red wine beside the guests, and the etiquette is in place and impeccable.
The crowd raised their glasses and drank for a while.
It's 8:09 in the evening.
Unforeseen circumstances.
A lady's head was drooping and buried deep in her arm socket. Seeing that she hadn't reacted for a long time, the person next to her whispered in her ear: "Lianqu? Lianqu?"
The woman still has no response.
The person on the other side also noticed something was wrong, put down the wine glass, and also called her name twice in the woman's ear. The woman never responded.
"Lianqu drink is so bad? So drunk after only two glasses?"
"It shouldn't be..."
The woman stretched out her hand and pushed the girl called Lianqu. An inadvertently, her head tilted to one side, her eyes closed tightly, her eyes were black and she was shocked by the people around her, and it also caused the whole table to be disturbed. attention.
A man next to him stretched out his finger to detect the woman's breath.
His fingers snapped back.
The whole restaurant was silent.
The wine glass in Yang Ji's hand fell, lightly and cleverly like a heavy tripod. He stared at the man, his jaw tightened.
The man said with a trembling voice, "I'm out of breath."
The abrupt silence lasted for about a second, and the women's screams broke the silence of the night, pierced the eardrums of the people present, and triggered panic nerves.
Everyone backed away, including the waiter in the presence of the guests. Everyone's eyes fell on the dead woman without exception, whether it was visible or not.
But fortunately, the first thing that came was people with faces and faces. After the initial shock passed, everyone suppressed their fright. The woman who screamed at first also realized her gaffe, covered her lips, and stepped back. Two steps stopped the indecent loud noise. The whole restaurant returned to peace-a strange peace.
"Call the police." Yang Ji was a calmer one, and he quietly said to the waiter beside him.
Another lady in the restaurant, who looked capable and calm, said at this moment: “Don’t get close to the body until the police arrive. Don’t destroy the scene.”
Yang Ji couldn't help but raised his eyes and glanced at the talking woman.
She is the wife of the chairman of Chengshi Group, Chengmeng. Although she is a woman, many men are frightened by the courage and tactics in the shopping malls, and women are not allowed to be shameless. Chengshi Group can have now
There is no lack of credit for this Ms. Cheng’s achievements.
After hearing Chengmeng's words, everyone nodded, and each took two steps back.
The waiter called the police, and Qiu Ju was notified by the foreman and hurriedly took the elevator to the restaurant on the fifth floor. Seeing the panic scene in front of the people, Qiu Ju was shocked for a moment, but immediately reacted and calmed down the guests who were still in shock: "Please wait a moment. We have already contacted the police. Please don't panic. Please tell me directly. The waiter is just fine."
As soon as the voice fell, the accident happened again.
It was 8:20 at this time.
Suddenly, the headlight of the restaurant on the fifth floor went out, and everyone suddenly fell into a dim darkness.
The hanging lamp on the fifth floor has a unique design. Only one lamp is hung at the top of the center. Although there are some small lamps around, they are all used to enhance the atmosphere and cannot serve as lighting.
As soon as the headlights above their heads were extinguished, everyone's eyes couldn't adapt to the sudden dimness for a while, and they were all a little panicked, especially some women who screamed slightly when the darkness came on.
Qiu Ju squinted slightly, and sternly ordered the waiters: "Go and see what's going on with the power supply!"
"Don't worry, everyone!" Qiu Ju raised his voice and said to the guests.
The murder has just happened, and the darkness on this side is even more frightening. Everyone's gasps and whispers sounded like fine sand in everyone's heart. Fear is like a huge wave hitting everyone's heart.
It's eight twenty one.
The headlights were turned on again.
After a second pause, another scream erupted.
The crowd quickly dispersed around a certain point, accompanied by a terrifying scream: "Kill, kill!"
Before Qiu Ju had time to ask why the light suddenly went out, he quickly stepped forward to the incident. A man fell to the ground with a dagger stuck in his chest, blood splattered around, and a slight bullying on his chest. It seemed that he was still breathing.
Qiu Ju immediately said decisively to the people around him: "What are you doing in a daze! Call an ambulance!"
Qiu Ju looked at the crowd and asked loudly, "Is there a doctor! Will there be emergency help!"
There was silence in the crowd.
Qiu Ju closed her eyes deeply.
He has a bad hunch.
Everyone in the restaurant was surprised. They didn't know who the murderer was, or if this person was lurking by their side. Everyone's panic was already beyond words. At this moment, some high and low, regardless of occupation, everyone has become a frightened bird, and their nerves are tense.
The more timid waiter cried: "I want to go home..."
Qiu Ju immediately stared at him: "Shut up!"
He looked around at the restaurant on the fifth floor and said: "The police will be here soon, don't panic everyone."
Opposing voices immediately appeared in the crowd: "You let us guard here? No one knows whether the murderer will continue to kill. Will you let us stay here to protect our personal safety!"
"Yes, yes." Someone immediately agreed: "Two people have already died this while, Boss Qiu, are you asking us to wait for death here?"
"Everyone." Qiu Ju looked slightly cold, but his tone was gentle, and tried to calm the people present: "I know everyone is panicking right now, and the police will be here soon. If everyone leaves now, the security of our hotel has come up and will protect them. Everyone. Please trust me."
