Hearing this, Zhang Yue retorted: "I repeat, if I have a suspicion, the police would have arrested me long ago. Since I have not been arrested, then I am innocent.

"Okay, okay." The manager nodded, and suddenly pushed the door hard, making a "shaking **" voice: "Don't say anything else, can you come out? I'm going to close the door."

Seeing him like this, if Xindao insisted on staying here and being stared at by him, he wouldn’t find anything. Anyway, the captain came in a few days, and they couldn’t escape. Thinking about this, he rolled his eyes and walked quickly. Walked out of the corridor, entered his room, took out the phone: "Hey, Captain, it's me."

"It's Zhang Yue? Are you coming back soon? Where are you doing? If you can't find out, all travel expenses will not be reimbursed, and will be deducted from your salary!" The captain seemed a bit angry, and was angrily over there. Scolded.

"That's it, Captain." Zhang Yue explained hurriedly: "Listen to me, something happened these days..." Then, he reported what happened in the past few days, and finally said: "Captain, really Sorry, I haven’t reported in time these days, but when I’m sure, this homestay will definitely be tricky. Really, it will definitely be tricky. So I hope you will bring someone up to the mountain and search the warehouse. There is a big problem. Really, I have intuition. The water in the warehouse is inclined. There must be a secret room. As long as the secret room can be found, why the two bodies were amputated can be explained."

"Really?" The captain didn't seem to believe it.

"As long as you have someone come, you will know." Zhang Yue said.

"Okay." Hearing this, the captain nodded and said: "If that's the case, I'll take someone over and have a look tomorrow."

"Great!" Zhang Yue clapped his hands and exclaimed, "Thank you, Captain."

After hanging up the phone, Zhang Yue took a long sigh of relief. When the captain came, he searched the warehouse in public. Maybe something about a corpse or a dead person should be able to explain it

As I was thinking about it, I suddenly heard the sound of footsteps outside the door.

"Who?" Zhang Yue walked over and opened the door, only to see an old lady standing outside, wearing a green skirt, facing Zhang Yue: "Are you a lady reporter?"

"Yes, yes." Zhang Yue nodded and asked: "May I ask if you are..."

"I'm a long-term tenant here." The old lady said here, looked around, walked straight in, turned around and closed the door with a "hush" gesture and said: "You found here What's up?"

"Oh..." Zhang Yue's heart was pounding, as he hurriedly pulled the old lady to sit down on the sofa and asked: "Why haven't I seen you?"

"It's simple." The old lady patted the armrest of the sofa and said: "Actually, it's like this. I once signed a contract with the boss here."

"Contract?" Zhang Yueqi said: "What is this?"

"Oh..." the old lady hesitated, and slowly said: "I am actually a retired cadre. Later, my wife passed away, and my children went abroad. I had no worries, so I wanted to find a beautiful place to spend my old age. At this time, I took a fancy to this place. It is quiet, the scenery is good, and the price is cheap. The boss is a refreshing person, and he said that since I am permanently there, he gave me a very low price."

After that, the old lady raised her hand and said, "About ten years and one hundred and fifty thousand."

"One hundred and fifty thousand." Zhang Yue thought for a while, nodded and said: "It's very cheap."

"Yes, but there is a strange stipulation in the contract." The old lady sighed, stroked her dress and said: "I just can't deal with you."

"Can't deal with us?" Zhang Yue blinked and pointed to himself, "Is it with me?"

"Isn't it with you, is it with you? All travelers don't talk much and can't deal with you." The old lady made a gesture.

"Why?" Zhang Yueqi said, "How come there are such wonderful regulations?"

"I also felt weird at the time." The old lady groaned: "That boss is an interesting person, not quite the same as an idiot in ordinary days. I don't understand why he has to show such honor."

"Oh." Zhang Yue's heart pounded and said, "What this means... The boss is disguised on the surface."

"Forget it." The old lady hesitated and said: "You know, I am a person who actually doesn't like to be nosy. On weekdays, I read books, write and write, and go online. I have time to support my backyard. Those flowers and plants..."

"You raised those flowers and plants?" Zhang Yue asked hurriedly.

"Yes." The old lady nodded and said proudly: "I used to be a garden professor, so I know some planting of flowers and plants."

Zhang Yue's eyelids twitched, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Did the boss ask you to help him grow flowers and plants because of this?"

"Maybe." The old lady hesitated and nodded.

"Was there any weird variety that impressed you?" Zhang Yue asked hurriedly, remembering that there are some poisonous flowers in Holmes.

The old lady turned her head to recall, shook her head and said: "There are too many varieties, I can't remember."

Hearing this, Zhang Yue couldn't help feeling disappointed. He sank, thinking of the secret room, and hurriedly said, "Old man, do you think there are such things as a secret room here?"

The old lady's face changed slightly, and she waved her hand and said: "The boss once told me to take care of things here. These things are also one of the things to take care of. I can't violate the contract."

This has actually indicated that there is a secret room. Zhang Yue wants to ask, but suddenly thinks that he is asking. The old lady will not say it. Anyway, the captain will naturally ask her, so I won’t ask more, just said. : "The old man, why are you here this time?"

The old lady showed some hesitation on her face, and said for a while, "Because of the contract, I can't say, you know, I'm a trustworthy person, but..."

"But now people are beginning to die here, right?" Zhang Yue grinned.

"Yes." The old lady's face became solemn and said: "I am not sure whether these things have anything to do with some of the things I saw, but..." She looked up and down Zhang Yue and patted Zhang Yue's hands: "Let's do it, how about you sleep with me?"

Zhang Yue smiled and said, "Could it be that you are afraid that I am in danger?"

What she said was actually a joke, but the old lady changed her face, her eyes flashed, and she reluctantly smiled and said, "No, I just looked at you pleasingly, so I just want to take care of me, right?"

Zhang Yue groaned, thinking that he was a policeman. Even if they have something, they are not afraid to have a gun. What's more, Captain Kuan Ming'er and the others have brought people. Forgive them, they dare not act rashly, but... how to say, with this old lady There is a good thing about living-you can inquire about things you can't see. This old lady must know something after living for so long, right

Thinking of this, Zhang Yue nodded and stretched out her hand to hold the old lady's hand and said: "Okay, old man, I also want to learn more flower planting techniques from you, then I will trouble you."

The old lady pursed her lips.

In the dead of night, Zhang Yue was lying in the **, looking at the ceiling over and over, and then looking back at the old lady on the opposite side. The old lady’s room was very peculiar. There were no windows in the standard sense, but a slip of small windows, very narrow. There are various kinds of flower pots on the windowsill of the kind of roof windows, and there are many precious flowers and plants on them. Zhang Yue can't say it, but feels the fragrance is very good.

The old lady should be a relatively simple person, so the facilities in the house are also very simple, like a hotel model, facing the bed, opposite is a mirror and a table, next to it is a computer desk, and on the opposite corner is a stand The TV, the floor was paved with wooden planks, very clean and simple, Zhang Yue lay down on the ** tossing to sleep, looking back at the old lady on the opposite side.

The old lady slept soundly, making waves of snoring. Zhang Yue put her face in her hands and looked at the old lady with a smile, thinking in her heart how Captain Minger was here, how she would report to him, she was thinking, suddenly Hearing a weird "click" sounded from nowhere, the sound was strange, as if it came out of the small window, Zhang Yue was taken aback, stood up and took a look, and saw that one of the small windows was open. of.

Zhang Yue was suddenly a little scared in his heart. He stood up hurriedly and wanted to close the window, but after thinking about it, he lay down again-the window is too small, even if someone comes, there must be no way to get in, Zhang Yue stares. Looking at the window for a while, closing the window in my heart, the room will be very stuffy. The window is too narrow to allow people to come in. Besides, there is an old lady in this room, so I don't need to make a fuss.

Thinking of this, he lay down and closed his eyes again. This time he stopped tossing and turning again. After closing his eyes, he fell into a sweet dream and fell asleep.

When she woke up the next day, she yawned, opened her eyes, a ray of sunlight came in from outside the window, wisps of light shining through the window, the birds and flowers outside the window, the waves of the sea, it was a wonderful morning. Zhang Yue sat up, stretched his waist, turned around and said, "Old man, old lady, you—"

"what-"

When she saw the situation of the old lady, she couldn't help but screamed. The old lady lay straight on her face, with a black blood hole on her forehead, and she had been dead for a long time.

"what happened?"

There was a bang on the door outside, seeming to want to break in, but there was a bolt in the door, and couldn't get in at all. Zhang Yue was also a little confused at this time, stood up and walked to the door quickly, and opened it. At the door latch, the manager came in with a group of people and looked at each other when he saw this situation.

"What's the matter?" The manager stared at Zhang Yue suspiciously.

Zhang Yue was a little frightened. She stared at the old lady who was on the opposite side, and slowly shook her head. "I don't know." He paused and said; "I... just kept resting and then awake. When I came over, I found that this old lady was dead in sex."

"How did you die? You killed it?" the manager looked at her up and down.

"Of course not." Zhang Yue snorted when he heard this, "If I kill her, do I need to lie here and wait for you to catch it?"

This is also true, everyone glanced at each other.

"But why do the dead have something to do with you?" The middle-aged man next to him spoke and reprimanded: "You were also present with the couple last time. This time the old lady was also present with you. Let alone, in this room. , You are the only person by her side, not you, who is it?"

"Maybe it was killed by someone who crawled in through the window." A young girl next to her spoke.
