Master Swindler

Chapter 12

Views:

The death of the female employee was so tragic that many timid guests no longer dared to stay in the hall.

Panic spread in the villa, if it weren't for the snowstorm outside, I'm afraid some people would have escaped.

But even so, there are still not a few people with psychological breakdowns. People died for two consecutive nights, and the questioning was endless for a while.

Some people even said in horror: "Isn't it possible that a blizzard closes the mountain, and there are perverted murderers mixed in?"

This is obviously because the movie has been watched too much, but it has been recognized by many people.

Seeing that Manager Hao couldn't take it anymore, Lu Qingjia came forward and said, "It's enough to stop making unfounded guesses."

"I understand everyone's feelings, but please think about the women and children among your customers, spreading anxiety doesn't do any good in this situation."

This is to the point. Generally, you will not be alone in such a remote hotel, and most of them will bring your family with you.

Although most of the women and children had already been sent back to the room when the corpse appeared, they were more likely to lose control of their emotions when they were chaotic, and they would definitely make the situation worse.

Lu Qingjia continued: "Let's take a look at the clues first. The death form shows that our employees fell out of the hotel from the window, lost their limbs, and lost consciousness for a short time. They all failed to return to the hotel and were frozen outside. die."

"Based on the freezing conditions and the sounds heard by many guests before, it can be preliminarily determined that she fell before lunch."

"The degree of twisting of the limbs shows that she did not fall from a low floor. Along the location where the body was found and the range of her physical strength to crawl, it is easy to pinpoint which rooms she fell from."

The doctor who identified the cause of Mrs. Li's death last night also nodded: "It's the same as what I thought."

When the panicked guests saw that there were calm people in the group, they analyzed the situation in a few words, restored the scene at that time, and calmed down a lot.

Lu Qingjia took out a map of the hotel's layout from the front desk and clicked on one of the areas: "The place where it fell is between Room 8 and Room 11 on the fourth to sixth floors."

This range is still not small.

But Lu Qingjia added: "There are a total of twelve rooms, but there is a premise that she accidentally fell down by herself, or someone else at the time."

Dr. Zhou on the side nodded again and again, but the others didn't respond for a while.

Then I suddenly realized that if there was another person in the room when the other party fell, it would be a veritable murder.

The deceased was not dead when she first fell. If there was another person at that time, even if she did not push her down, but did not tell the people of the villa to take the initiative to rescue her, what is the difference between this and murder

"And it's actually easy to judge these two situations." Lu Qingjia's words made Manager Hao, who was standing behind him, face as white as paper. He lowered his head to reduce his presence and dared not let everyone pay attention to him.

Then came the sentence like execution: "If it was just her accidental fall, then the window of the room where she fell must still be open."

"If there was another person in the room at the time, watching her condition indifferently, then it must be one of the twelve rooms with occupants."

Everyone suddenly realized that they immediately went upstairs and opened the twelve rooms to check.

The result made people chill, and none of the windows of the room were still open, which means that someone watched her fall and closed the window indifferently.

There are not many guests in the hotel, there are only twenty people in total, and most of them are family units, and the distribution of rooms is limited.

Of the twelve rooms that were circled, only three were occupied.

The occupants of the three designated rooms quickly denied: "We've been making up for sleep all morning, and we haven't called room service. Besides, we have no grudges with the little girl."

Dr. Zhou said, "No, there is another room, which is the office area on the top floor."

"Manager Lu, can you tell us what it's used for?"

Lu Qingjia smiled, and at this time, he had completely reviewed the whole incident in the Hot Spring Villa.

"Well, it's the manager's office, which belongs to me and Manager Hao."

"However, I only joined the job yesterday, and I was busy adapting to the situation of various departments and entertaining guests. So far, I have never entered that office."

Everyone's suspicion of Manager Lu was not high. If he really wanted to hide something, he didn't have to say it at first.

So after excluding Manager Lu, the remaining Manager Hao became the object of suspicion.

What did the guests' attention fall on him: "Manager Hao, can you tell me where you were at that time?"

"The little girl who died was a hotel employee. I said it should have nothing to do with the strangers we came to the hotel? Is there any contradiction in your hotel?"

Manager Hao's face was ugly, but he still tried his best to keep it clear: "I, how do I know? My office is not locked, and anyone can come in and out."

"Besides, you can't falsely accuse me in order to clear your suspicions. Do I have any grudges with her?"

"Isn't it locked? But I went to see Manager Hao before noon, and I didn't open the door." Lu Qingjia said.

"That's right, Xiaomei was taken away by Manager Hao for a lecture this morning, and she never came back." The employees who had been dissatisfied with Manager Hao for a long time also spoke up.

Everyone looked at him with more and more bad eyes, and the doctor Zhou said, "Manager Hao, can you tell me, when was the last time you saw the deceased?"

Manager Hao was anxious to find an excuse, but heard the last blow from Lu Qingjia—

"Actually, it's simple. I didn't sort out the situation clearly before, and the screening workload was heavy. As long as the scope is determined and the monitoring of those floors at that time is found, it will be clear at a glance."

The three customers nodded hurriedly: "Check it out, it's better to prove it has nothing to do with us."

Manager Hao seemed to be relieved to hear this, but when everyone went to check the surveillance, he found that the last few days had been deleted.

Although there is no direct evidence, it almost confirms Manager Hao's suspicion.

After all, ordinary guests don't care where the surveillance room is, and not everyone knows how to delete surveillance files.

Although there was no evidence, Manager Hao was still under control. Even though he protested loudly, all the customers and employees present were reluctant to let a person suspected of murder come and go freely.

The crowd took everything from him and locked him in an empty room.

Before leaving, Manager Hao kept struggling and shouting, and finally shouted an intriguing sentence: "Mr. Li, you must believe me, right?"

Although Mr. Li was no longer here, Lu Qingjia felt sad for him.

Careful planning, almost every step, was destroyed in the hands of an idiot.

Of course, what is even more sad is that so many people in the hotel are also dying.

After closing Manager Hao and assigning someone on duty to guard the door, everyone returned to the room.

The death of another person made the guests who had been in a better mood lost their interest in entertainment, and the whole hotel became quiet before eight o'clock.

The other five players found Lu Qingjia and asked him, "Did you hear what the grandson shouted? Sure enough, this is the key to Mrs. Li's husband."

"Is he the one who conspired with the man surnamed Hao to murder?"

Sure enough, at this point, even the sluggish guys like these guys have discovered the key.

Different from ordinary guests, Mr. Li, who knows the result and 'non-existence', seems to be everywhere. From the bizarre feeling of participating in this reincarnation interaction from the mouths of others, no matter how stupid people are, they should know the problem.

Lu Qingjia shook his head: "It can't be said to be a conspiracy. After all, the surname Hao is too stupid to deserve it."

"From the beginning to the end, it's just that people's calculations are not as good as God's calculations. Although Mr. Li's plan was not perfect, it was considered meticulous."

"If according to the envisaged situation, Mrs. Li is afraid that it will eventually be characterized as an accidental death, and the matter will end at this stage."

"It's just that the surname Hao is lucky, and I came across some pictures. The key to this picture is that Shun Teng can pull out the whole careful layout."

"The person surnamed Hao used this trick to threaten, but it happened that the female employee listened to something that shouldn't be heard. Naturally, the person surnamed Hao couldn't let the duck fly. Whether it was an accident or a murderous intention at the time, the female employee was dead. ."

"But the person surnamed Hao is so stupid. He is so stupid that his mind is full of greed.

"It's not that there are no smart people among the guests. For example, Dr. Zhou, he figured out his problem in three or two times. I hope that such a fool can resist the interrogation of the police and not lead himself out, let alone the ruthless Li. For you, sir, can you place your bet on him?"

The five hurriedly shook their heads.

Lu Qingjia finally said: "So, Mr. Li has temporarily appeased the surnamed Hao by hinting, so that he does not have to pull himself out in public. The method is very simple, as long as the surnamed Hao understands that there is no benefit to the death of the fish and the net to break the net, now Since the police haven't come yet, there is a chance to escape, and as long as you get a huge sum of money and secretly escape to a foreign country and hide your name, you will still be living a dashing life."

"It's just a lie. When the surname Hao was brought out, Mr. Li had already decided to shut up everyone in the hotel. After all, if the incident is too bizarre, the police will pay attention to it. If you dig deeper, it will be difficult to protect yourself. Not revealing."

The five people smacked their lips: "Is that Hao also believed?"

Lu Qingjia smiled: "Of course he believes it, because although this villa is closed, if you take a little risk, you can still go out."

"As long as you go down the mountain and escape in advance, if you are lucky, you may indeed escape sanctions."

Everyone was shocked: "Can you go down the mountain? How to go down?"

"You'll know when the time comes." Lu Qingjia sold out.

It's not easy for the five players to ask again. After all, they just discovered the clue, but when they come to ask—well, the whole mystery is solved.

This is only the first day of the copy.

Someone couldn't help but say, "You, when did you determine that Mr. Li murdered Mrs. Li?"

Lu Qingjia said, "Yesterday, I helped Mrs. Li check in and send her back to her room."

Five people:"… "

I'm really sorry for misunderstanding that you seduce your wife.

After pondering for a while, the glasses finally found Hua Dian: "Wait, you said another key person in the incident? Besides Mr. Li and the surnamed Hao, who else?"

Then he said to himself: "Yes, the cause of Mrs. Li's death was chemical poisoning. If Mr. Li only took a fancy to the cleaning agent in this hotel, he would not be found by the idiot surnamed Hao, and the door just happened to be broken. How can there be such a coincidence? So you have an accomplice."

Not too obtuse, Lu Qingjia nodded to the glasses: "The cleaning solution was recently changed, although the supplier surnamed Hao agreed to change, but his opinion is easy to be swayed by such a petty idiot, make up Just a little bit of good reason will do.”

"The accomplices who can participate in the murder must have a highly unified common interest, and they are killing their wives, so the scope is too easy to guess."

"I deliberately strive for management status, just to confirm the delivery time and specific employee information, and there are indeed problems."

No, it's so polite to say 'strive', everyone thought, you're obviously a liar.

"You all know about the supply problem. Another point is indeed that apart from Mr. Li, there is also a person in the hotel staff who is clearly on file, but has not entered this cycle. The repair form for the toilet door in Mrs. Li's room was filled out by this person. The new one The cleaning solution supplier has the same last name as her, do you think it's a coincidence?"

Speaking of which, the case is almost solved.

"The surnamed Hao accidentally bumped into two people having an affair. The time should be after the check-in was done yesterday, in a relatively hidden place outside the villa. It didn't start snowing at that time."

"Then Mrs. Li died in the evening. There was a doctor who happened to explain the cause of Mrs. Li's death in one sentence. The surnamed Hao is a pig. You should understand what's going on?"

If you don't accept it, you can't. What does it mean that it has not started and is already over

The five people felt that they had nothing to do in this dungeon, but the mission of the game only allowed people to survive for three days. That is to say, after all the members knew the ins and outs of the whole incident, even if they salted fish all the way, the points and evaluations they got. Not too low either.

This is equivalent to being taken away by the boss, so you have to say something, right

Everyone was about to be flattering when they heard the sound of clapping from the window at the end of the corridor.

They turned their heads and suddenly took a breath, because through the light, they saw a frozen white face printed on the glass.

Like a living ice sculpture, it kept knocking on the window to get in, as if it was her last obsession during her lifetime.

Several players quickly said: "Fuck, if you forget to die that day, you will become a ghost."

Everyone looked at Lu Qingjia subconsciously, and they still remembered the other side's amazing showdown last night.

But in an instant, I woke up again, no! There is something to be said about Mrs. Li's ghost, because Lu Qingjia has put a lot of energy into it.

This employee was a complete accident. No one knew that she was the second victim before she died. Naturally, it was impossible to develop any revolutionary friendship in a short period of time.

"Let's run! Don't expect good things."

However, when he started to step up, he saw that Lu Qingjia was heading in the opposite direction again.

The crowd couldn't help but stop.

Seeing Lu Qingjia open the window, he put the ghost in directly.

put in-

Several people gasped, this was not the end, Lu Qingjia did not know where to conjure a blanket and put it on the ice sculpture ghost.

She said with pity: "It must be very cold outside, right? It's hard for you, come in and warm up."

The ghost was obviously a little stunned. He stared at Lu Qingjia in a daze, his expression switching between resentment and daze.

Lu Qingjia said, "You are really a brave and kind girl. If you were complicit in extorting money with Da Da, who was surnamed Hao, you would not have been killed. You must have insisted on the justice in your heart before you were murdered."

"It's silly, but it's also really admirable."

When the female ghost heard this, her face flushed, and her resentment dissipated a lot.

Lu Qingjia continued: "But tonight is the last night of the other guests' peace. Don't disturb everyone, okay?"

The female ghost was obviously not very happy, but Lu Qingjia said softly but powerfully: "This is my request as a management."

"Even if you're a ghost, you're still a hotel employee, right? You're a good, hard-working and sensible employee, so don't go against your professional ethics and cause trouble for your guests, okay?"

Several players were stunned, watching someone use their looks, authority, and rhetoric to fool a simple and honest ghost.

The ice sculpture female ghost had a look of embarrassment on her face, looking at everyone resentfully for a while, and then obviously unwilling to brush the gentle boss's words.

Lu Qingjia then shouted in one direction: "Mrs. Li, can I ask you to take care of her?"

"Be patient for a while tonight, and I'll make sure you're satisfied later."

A few players shuddered and saw that the door of a room was quietly opened, and Mrs. Li's ghost came out. She shyly smiled at Lu Qingjia, and she really dragged the ice sculpture ghost into the night.

"… "

Is this Nima really a horror game? Isn't the harem opened by the surname Lu

At this moment, somewhere in the real world, a person who suddenly appeared in the room suddenly opened his eyes.

"Disappeared?" he murmured, then called up the coordinates and disappeared into the room out of thin air.
