Fangzheng's words are not lying.
After leaving the old magic stick to watch the people in the guest room, he began to search the second floor of the hotel.
Under the pale faces of Zheng Yuxia and her accomplices, Fangzheng untied the guitar backpack behind his back, took a mouthful of the heavy solid wood long box wrapped with cinnabar ink thread, and landed with a bang, making a heavy impact on the ground.
Just hearing the heavy landing made Zheng Yuxia and the others tremble in fright.
so heavy.
It must be at least a few hundred catties!
Fangzheng's figure obviously does not look burly, nor does it look like the big shoulders and thick waist of foreign strongmen, but it is such a lean physique, and the weight of several hundred catties has been easily carried on the body. , is it inhabited by a powerful monster!
What is in this solid wooden long box
It's so heavy
Soon, they got their answer.
It's just that when they saw it clearly, their faces were as pale as paper, even paler than before, their hands and feet were cold, and they saw Fang Zheng take out a long snow-white knife from a long solid wood box.
Misunderstood that Fangzheng was planning to kill someone to silence him.
"Old God, I will leave this knife case in the bedroom. Remember, no matter what noises come from outside, even if the police tell you to open the door, or I tell you to open the door, don't go out."
"Look at these people, who have been staying in the bedroom. This knife case with cinnabar ink fountain thread is better than peach wood swords and five emperors' copper coins to ward off evil spirits."
"With this knife case, you will be fine."
Fang Zheng left Chiyang's knife case to ward off evil spirits, and after telling the old god stick not to run around, he walked out of the room alone with a long knife in his hand, intending to search the hotel.
…
Lonely, cold night.
boom!
boom! boom! boom!
Amidst loud noises, the originally locked guest rooms on the second floor were violently smashed open by Fang Zheng.
One door after another, door frames, exploded to pieces.
But what was unusual was that the owner of the hotel never came over to check on such a big commotion on the second floor.
Fangzheng's eyes gradually turned cold.
This further deepened his suspicion of the hotel and its owner.
boom!
When another door on the second floor was violently broken open by Fang Zheng, he moved his nose and smelled a very faint rancid stench.
Corpse stink!
Fangzheng's face changed slightly.
He was no longer the rookie he was when his spiritual energy first recovered half a year ago. After dealing with ghosts and ghosts for so long, and having seen many dead bodies, he was especially sensitive to the smell of corpses.
There is a corpse in this room! !
really!
The hotel owner did have a problem.
The corpses were stored on the second floor, and the weather was hot and the decay rate was faster in summer. In order to prevent the stench of the corpse from being noticed, the entire second floor was left unoccupied.
And deliberately told about the hot pot boiling underwear, deliberately disgusting, and drove away the people staying in the hotel.
The purpose of everything is not to expose the truth about the corpse hidden on the second floor.
At the moment when he smelled the stench of the corpse, Fangzheng finally wanted to understand the purpose of the hotel owner in doing all this.
However, when a few minutes later...
In the messy guest room, bed boards, ceilings, partition walls, floors... were all shredded by sharp knives. Fang Zheng searched all the corners where people or corpses could be hidden, but no corpse was found.
"Perhaps, the corpse was once hidden and was moved away later?"
But what happened next, Fang Zheng discovered that things were far from being as simple as he imagined.
There were more than a dozen rooms on the second floor, and he could smell the very faint smell of corpses in a total of six rooms.
Without exception!
He didn't even find a rotting body in the guest room!
"Six guest rooms?"
"Why six rooms?"
"Um…?"
I don't know what Fangzheng was thinking of, but the serious expression on his face suddenly changed.
"The head, body, and limbs can just be divided and hidden in six places!"
If it is what he thinks.
The truth behind this can't help but make people feel chills in their hearts.
"The body is missing. Could it be that the old magic stick really guessed that the body was transferred and buried under the plum tree outside the hotel?"
Just as Fangzheng, carrying a long knife, searched all over the second floor, but couldn't find the hotel owner. When he planned to go to the third floor to continue searching, he kept holding the mobile phone in his hand as a flashlight. Suddenly, in the extremely quiet hotel, the mobile phone turned on The bell rang.
Fang Zhengben was alone in the dark hotel room.
This sudden phone ringtone.
The silence was broken in an instant.
In this dark atmosphere, it is especially piercing and eerie.
Fangzheng looked at the caller ID with a surprised expression on his face. He didn't expect that it was Captain Fei himself calling.
Captain Fei's voice was dignified: "Brother Fangzheng, do you still remember the hotel you asked me to investigate? The people under your command just sent news that they made a new discovery in the library county annals!"
As a soldier before his aura revived, Captain Fei still had many of the habits of a soldier, such as being swift and resolute and straight to the point.
He just made a new discovery on his side, and Captain Fei's side also made new progress at the same time. Fang Zheng's face was refreshed: "What new discovery did Captain Fei have?"
"Brother Fangzheng should know that the county annals of some places have not been entered into the computer in time, and the originals are usually kept in the city library..." Captain Fei coughed weakly from time to time while talking on the phone.
Captain Fei's hands are serious, and it won't get better in a short time.
"I don't know why Brother Fangzheng suddenly asked me to investigate this hotel, but there must be a special reason. So I asked people to retrieve the hotel information in the government system, and at the same time asked people to go to the library to find the local county chronicles."
"Although it took a little more time in the library, we still found new clues... Cough, cough, Brother Fangzheng, you would never have guessed what the predecessor of that hotel was."
Amid Captain Fei's weak coughing, Fangzheng finally realized that behind this hotel, there is actually a layer of hidden truth.
This matter dates back to before the liberation of the whole country.
Before the liberation of the whole country, this place was not an urban-rural junction, but a small rural village outside Zhou City. People in that era were ignorant, feudal, and ignorant. The people could not afford to read books, and the people's wisdom was not yet enlightened, so private torture among the people often happened.
To Fangzheng's surprise, the predecessor of this hotel was actually a rural ancestral hall.
However, due to historical factors such as wars, famines, escapes, victory in the Anti-Japanese War, and national reforms and reconstructions after the reform and opening up, new villages were built on the abandoned villages and ancestral halls. With the slow expansion of urban development, the new village has become the current urban-rural fringe.
Before the country was liberated and universal education was not started, the ignorance and ignorance of the people, in this land, the darkness of the hearts of countless people grew like barbarism.
In the ancestral hall that had been toppled and disappeared, an innocent poor man was brutally executed.
It was the land where Fangzheng was standing now.
