Looking at her back as she walked away, Xiang Wan breathed a sigh of relief.
After swiping the card to open the door, she returned to the room and completely relaxed.
She was thinking too much!
She was a little amused at her own paranoia.
Sitting on the sofa in the hotel, she untied the plastic bag of the takeaway and glanced at the receipt.
As a result, he was unexpectedly stunned.
In addition to the receipt, there was an extra note in the bag at some point.
The note was a little wrinkled, as if it had been rubbed by someone. The printed font above is very familiar.
"You already understand the temptation of the Great God, right? This game is very fun. I will invite many friends to join in... And you are my key training object."
Below, there is a line of fine print.
"Xingxing Hotel. On X, X, X, X."
Seeing this, Xiang Wan's heart was lifted... It was beating wildly.
The hotel where she lives is Xinxing Hotel.
…
How did the note end up in her takeout bag
The delivery guy has a problem
Is this article written specifically for her
This doubt made Xiang Wan's obsessive-compulsive disorder almost fall.
Xiang Wan tried to make a call to Bai Muchuan.
But the mechanical female voice replied coldly, "The phone you dialed has been turned off..."
It appears to be out of power.
He should still be busy, right
Xiang Wan kept checking the time, thinking wildly.
The more I think about it, the more flustered I become.
I dare not eat takeaway anymore. Even, I dare not order any more.
She was alone in the room, like a bird being roasted on the fire, wishing she could spread her wings and fly out to look for Bai Muchuan, but she didn't dare to move half a step, and even nervously turned the door lock backwards.
Lying on the bed, there were thousands of strange thoughts in her head, which made her nerves throb.
But after waking up this morning and tossing so far, she was a little tired, and in a daze, she entered a consciousness space that was half-dream and half-awake... Suddenly her body trembled, and she woke up suddenly.
It was gloomy outside the window.
Looking at the time again, she felt a chill down her spine and realized that she was sweating.
He got up from the bed, wiped his back, and took the note on the table again.
"The temptation of the Great God, the temptation of the Great God..."
She thought for a moment, put down the note, and sent a message to Yuan Qianqian.
"Just now there was a book review about "The Temptation of the Great God" in the book review section, did you delete it?"
After a minute, Yuan Qianqian replied, "It's not me. I'll ask who they are."
Xiang Wan hummed and waited quietly.
Soon, Yuan Qianqian came back, "Huangfu deleted it, she thought it was an advertisement, what's the problem?"
Huangfu was Xiang Wan's other administrator.
As far as Xiang Wan knew, he was still a college student.
Yuan Qianqian said that she has been a bit busy at work recently, and Huangfu is managing the book review section.
But facing Yuan Qianqian's question, Xiang Wan answered countless times.
At present, she can't tell what is wrong with "The Temptation of the Great God". After thinking about it, she thought that Yuan Qianqian and other administrators should not be involved, so she didn't say anything about the note, but just told her with a smile.
"Tell Huangfu that next time someone posts something similar, remember to take a screenshot and save it before deleting it."
"OK. No problem."
Yuan Qianqian sent a gesture and asked her again.
"Are you doing well in Kyoto?"
"Good."
"When is it updated today?"
Nowadays…
Xiang Wan stroked his heart that kept rising and falling.
"I'm a little uncomfortable right now, I guess today's update is a bit late."
"Okay, we are not in a hurry, you take care of your body first..."
"Know it."
After the last helpless update incident, Xiang Wan hadn't interrupted the update for a long time.
Continuously updating a large amount of content is a very stressful thing for a web author.
For example, today, when something happened, she couldn't write.
So sad!
Xiang Wan sighed, reading the words on the note word by word, hoping to see the secret inside—
to no avail. She picked up her mobile phone and prepared to call Tang Yuanchu—
"Ding dong!"
At this time, the doorbell rang suddenly.
In the quiet room, Xiang Wan's hairs stood on end, and he slowly walked to the door with his phone in hand.
"Who is it?"
"it's me."
The familiar voice, deep and magnetic, pierced through the room, causing Xiang Wan's hanging heart to drop in an instant.
Almost subconsciously, she opened the door.
The man standing outside the door is Bai Muchuan.
"You're back-"
Hearing that her voice had changed, Xiang Wan rushed over and hugged his waist.
Ok? Bai Muchuan was a little surprised, carried her in, closed the door, rubbed her head, and said with a light smile, "We've only been separated for a while, and you miss me?"
Xiang Wan: "Yes, I really want to!"
Bai Muchuan smiled lightly, his face suddenly sank, "What's wrong?"
He was very sensitive to Xiang Wan's emotions.
Her pale face caught his attention immediately.
Xiang Wan moistened her lips and went straight to the point.
"I encountered a very strange thing just now, and I felt something was wrong. I wanted to call your mobile phone, but you turned it off..."
"Huh?" Bai Muchuan took out the phone from his pocket, "It's out of battery."
"Come and see." Xiang Wan didn't worry about this matter, she directly pulled Bai Muchuan to sit on the sofa, handed over the note, and told him in detail, the message in the book review section...
When she was talking about the content of the message, Bai Muchuan raised his eyebrows and didn't speak.
But when he saw the content of the note, his brows furrowed in an instant.
He asked: "Have you seen it in the book review section of other authors?"
Xiang Wan shook his head, "I looked through it, but I didn't find it. However, just because I didn't find it doesn't mean that no one posted it, maybe it was deleted."
"Hmm. There is a possibility."
After Bai Muchuan finished speaking, he found out the charging cable and plugged in the phone, then used voice to report what happened to Xiang Wan to the work group, and then told Tu Liang.
"Contact Team Zhang immediately and check that strange tenant."
"Okay, boss!"
Tu Liang is a calm person.
It seemed that Bai Muchuan was very informative to him, put down his phone, and stopped talking.
Xiang Wan found that he was not too emotional, so he was startled and asked him again.
"How is your handover with the West City Police?"
Bai Muchuan was silent.
After about three seconds, he said, "Case 121, handle it jointly."
Jointly handle the case, that is to say, they still can't get around the West City police in their work
Xiang Wan asked in a low voice, "Are they refusing?"
Bai Muchuan didn't say much: "They have already found out the clues of this case. If we take over the whole thing, it won't be very good."
After staying in the criminal investigation team for so long, Xiang Wan was still clear about some things.
Five people have died in the "121 Case" in the West Market so far, which can be regarded as an extremely serious case.
From the perspective of the West City police, they have spent a lot of manpower and material resources. If the case is suddenly taken over by Serious Case No. 1 at the critical moment when it is about to be solved, not only are they unwilling, even Bai Muchuan seems to be unwilling. would be so nice.
Joint office is a better result.
Xiang Wan nodded, "Then what's the 'eyebrow' they found?"
Originally, Xiang Wan was not an insider, so it was inappropriate to ask this.
But Zhang Lu's death has something to do with her, and she is still implicated to this day, and is scolded as a dog every day on the Internet, so she is very curious about the investigation results of the West City Police—
However, Bai Muchuan looked at her with complicated eyes and did not move for a long time.
"What's the matter?" Xiang Wan asked, then laughed again, "If it's inconvenient, forget it."
Bai Muchuan's expression was slightly gloomy, and he thought about it expressionlessly.
"The five deceased in Case 121 all received invitations from "The Temptation of the Great God" before their death. Moreover, these five people have already taken action and are ready to join the plan..."
What? Xiang Wan gasped.
"What did they write?"
"I didn't have time to write anything. I died."
"It's horrible! Who is behind the scenes..."
"According to the information given by the western police, it is an organization called Secret Door."
After hesitating for a while, Bai Muchuan said, "However, the information we have at present is relatively little—"
Secret door organization
Thinking about those people living in the dark area, Xiang Wan's goosebumps stood on end.
"But I have a question. Although the five deceased all died in Xishi's homestay, the first four of them arrived in Xishi on their own initiative. If it is said that they accepted the Great God's plan and their killing was a conspiracy, then What about Zhang Lu?"
Zhang Lu and Xiang Wan are on the same flight.
She was supposed to fly to Kyoto!
If it wasn't for that incident that happened halfway, how could he land in the West Market
Moreover, Zhang Lu's intention to frame Xiang Wan was too obvious at the beginning.
Judging from the way she deliberately imitated Case 121's death in the bathroom, she must have known something beforehand.
"Could Zhang Lu be used and silenced?"
Just as Xiang Wan said this, Bai Muchuan's phone rang.
It was Tu Liang who called, "Boss, that woman didn't stay at the Xinxing Hotel."
The room was very quiet, Xiang Wan was very close to Bai Muchuan, and could hear his words clearly.
She exclaimed and yelled out in surprise, "Impossible, she got into the hotel elevator with me, and went up the stairs together..."
Tu Liang also heard her voice, and continued: "We have already checked the hotel's check-in records. During that time period, no one checked into the hotel... Besides, I also asked the front desk just now."
"The front desk said that the woman entered the hotel, asked for a room, and asked about various standards and prices. When she was hesitating, she saw her acquaintance, and then she called a name and followed directly... "
"What are you shouting for?"
"... The front desk didn't hear clearly."
Bai Muchuan glanced at Xiang Wan.
Looking at him, Xiangwan's scalp went numb.
Could it be that the acquaintance mentioned by the front desk is herself
In other words, the woman didn't check into the hotel, she rushed to the elevator and just took her "hitch" up the stairs
Xiang Wan felt his blood run cold.
"I'm sure she entered this floor. Bai Muchuan, can you see the surveillance?"
"Yes!" Bai Muchuan pondered for a while, and asked Tu Liang, "Have Team Zhang and the others completed the formalities?"
Tu Liang: "He's still on his way, I'll call to remind him."
In the TV series, the police adjust the surveillance as they say, but in fact, because of personal rights and privacy issues, the hotel's surveillance cannot be adjusted at will. Even if the police handle the case, they need to apply first, and they can only ask the hotel to cooperate after receiving the approval document.
Xiang Wan was anxious.
After waiting for another ten minutes, Tu Liang called again.
"Boss, Team Zhang is here!"
