The president's wife with one child and five treasures is the favorite of the group

Mu Jingchen saw that her expression was wrong, so he helped to search in the suitcase.

But the result was still the same. After searching for a long time, I couldn't find the wallet.

He sensed something was wrong and asked her, "Who has been in our room?"

"No."

She thought about it carefully, and said, "But after you went out today, I went out too."

Mu Jingchen looked towards the door.

Although the door has a lock, it is someone else's territory after all. If someone wants to come in, it is easy.

He calmly closed the suitcase: "Someone should have come in and stolen our money."

"Aunt Cheng?"

"She's the most likely."

Huangfu Liyue frowned.

Cheng Cui is the boss here, he has the keys to each room, and he is also the person who has the most contact with them on weekdays, so it is indeed the most likely.

"There is no monitoring here. Even if it is her, she will not admit it. Money is a small matter, but there is no place to withdraw money here. We have no cash, so we can't live anywhere else."

"Even if there is no monitoring, we can't suffer from being dumb."

She understood his temper and reminded: "If she is just looking for money, just get the money back and don't make too much trouble."

He nodded: "I have a measure."

……

night.

When the people in the hotel fell asleep, Mu Jingchen told Huangfu Liyue to rest in the room, and left the room alone.

After a while, he stopped at the door of Cheng Cui's room.

She stayed there for dozens of seconds, but there was no movement from inside. Cheng Cui must have fallen asleep.

He took out a pocket knife and stuck it into the crack of the door, trying to pin the deadbolt behind it.

But after the knife stretched out, it was not blocked in any way.

He pushed lightly, and the door opened.

Taking a closer look, the room was pitch black, and there was no one on the bed.

In the middle of the night, Cheng Cui was not here.

This time, he saved a lot of trouble.

After entering the house, he closed the door, took out the small lamp that he carried with him, and began to search for the cabinet and the bedside.

Finally, Cheng Cui's money was found in the wooden box under the bed.

He didn't take the money away immediately, but observed the serial number on the banknote.

Before coming here, the banknotes he exchanged were all with consecutive numbers, and he remembered them all.

Sure enough, there was a stack of banknotes with serial numbers in the box, which was exactly the same as the number in his memory.

He took his own things and left the rest alone.

I was about to put the wooden box back, but a mouse quickly ran under the bed.

He looked at the pastries on the cabinet beside him, and then at the remaining money in the box, with a faint smile on his lips.

After 1 minute, he walked out of the room.

Cheng Cui hadn't come back yet, and he didn't pay too much attention, and went straight back to his room.

Passing by the corner of the stairs, a scent came out.

It is a strong vegetable and meat fragrance.

He looked at his watch, it was two in the morning.

It is not uncommon to cook late at night, but thinking of what happened during this time, he still went downstairs to the kitchen.

The light in the kitchen was on, looking in through the window, it was Cheng Cui who was cooking.

The dishes in the pot were ready, and she divided them into several bowls, and put them all into lunch boxes.

From the looks of it, it should be food for several people.

Seeing Cheng Cui walking out with a lunch box, he quickly retreated to the corner.

Cheng Cui didn't notice her, and walked in another direction after leaving the kitchen.

To avoid alarming others, Mu Jingchen waited for her to leave before walking out.

The direction she left was not where the passengers lived, but the backyard of the hotel.

He slowed down and followed.

But the strange thing is that he followed Cheng Cui all the way to the backyard, but he didn't see Cheng Cui again.

The size of the backyard is not small, there is a sundry store, a firewood room, and a few houses that I don't know what they are used for.

He took a cursory look, and after finding no trace of Cheng Cui, he had no choice but to return to the room the same way.

……

Huangfu Liyue was still asleep, sitting at the table with her coat on.

Seeing him come back, he immediately asked, "Why have you been gone for so long?"

He took out the money and put it on the table.

"We guessed right. She did it. I found it in her room. It has the same number as the banknote we exchanged before. It's our money."

Huangfu Liyue looked at the stack of money, and said with some disappointment: "I always thought she was a warm and kind person, but I was wrong."

After speaking, she asked again: "Didn't she find you?"

Mu Jingchen shook his head.

"She wasn't in the room at all."

Then he told her what he had just seen.

"There is definitely something wrong with Cheng Cui. I suspect that the missing passengers are still alive and in this hotel."

"But, the police came to search last time, but they didn't find anyone?"

"The first time the police came to search, they only searched every room. What if there are any secret doors or secret passages in this hotel?"

Huangfu Liyue suddenly remembered that one night before, she followed that weird crying sound to the backyard.

Late that night, Cheng Cui was busy doing something in the woodshed, but she looked through the window and saw nothing.

"Jingchen, I think your guess is very reasonable, why don't we take advantage of her rest tomorrow night and take a look secretly?"

"Do not."

Mu Jingchen directly rejected the proposal.

"We don't know much about this place, and we don't know what kind of person Cheng Cui is. In addition, you are pregnant, so you can't act rashly. Let's leave this matter to the police.

We will move out tomorrow, and then tell the police about the news here, and ask them to bring police dogs to search. If the missing passenger is really here, they will definitely be found. "

Huangfu Liyue felt that he was thoughtful, so she nodded.

"The last time the police dogs picked up the clothes of the passengers at the old woman's homestay, the police thought the old woman was the murderer. They never searched the places behind. The police dogs have a keen sense of smell. If they come here, they will definitely find some clues."

"Okay, let's sleep."

"Ah."

After the two exchanged a few words, they turned off the lights and fell asleep.

……

Early the next morning.

Mu Jingchen packed his luggage and left the room with Huangfu Liyue.

Passing the door of Chengcui's room, he heard wailing from inside.

"The coffin book I've been saving all my life has been slapped by these rats who have been beaten for thousands of dollars!"

Inside the house, Tian Jingui looked at the crumbs of banknotes in the wooden box, and said distressedly: "Mom, you usually put a layer of iron sheet in this box, and locked it several times. How could it be bitten by mice?"

Holding the debris, Cheng Cui was extremely puzzled.

The wooden box is separated by an iron sheet, and several locks are added. How did the mouse get in?

Huangfu Liyue, who was standing at the door, looked at Mu Jingchen and asked in a low voice, "Did you do it?"

Mu Jingchen said lightly: "Teach her a lesson."

Huangfu Liyue looked at the whole box of scraps, guessing that it should be Cheng Cui's life savings.

Although pitiful, it is not worthy of sympathy.
