When the magic flower blooms

Although it was a bit embarrassing to bother the hotel repeatedly, Ming Ruoxing still called the front desk and asked them to help negotiate and ask the neighbor to adjust the volume of the movie.

The front desk agreed very readily, and just as Ming Ruoxing put down the receiver, the phone next door rang.However, it rang for a full minute or so and no one answered.

Another five or six minutes later, a series of footsteps sounded in the corridor, and the hotel staff came up. They first rang the doorbell and then knocked on the door, but there was no response at all.

"Are you taking a shower?" He Tiansi, who was leaning against the door panel and eavesdropping the whole time, used his reasonable imagination.

Ming Ruoxing did not agree with this assumption: "You opened the balcony door just now, I think someone inside the door must have some ulterior motives, and I'm guilty of fear of being checked by the police."

The staff knocked on the door for about four and five minutes before finally giving up.After a while, the intercom phone on Ming Ruoxing's bedside table rang.

As He Tiansi overheard just now, the middle-aged man next door never gave any response.In a responsible manner, the staff also called another male colleague who had left reservation information.However, the other party's attitude was very ambiguous, implying that the hotel should not disturb the "night life" of the middle-aged man, otherwise the scene might be "very embarrassing".

In desperation, the staff asked Ming Ruoxing if he would mind changing rooms now.Ming Ruoxing refused, but the other party said that he could try to apply to the higher-ups to cut off the CCTV signal in that room.If a middle-aged man calls and complains, explain to him what happened.

It will take some time to complete the procedures for turning off the signal in the guest room. After the call is over, the TV next door is still making a mess of noises.

Ming Ruoxing, who was lying back on the bed, suddenly saw He Tiansi lift the quilt towards him.

"I'm next to the corridor, the sound is a little softer... Do you want to come and sleep together?"

"do not want!"

Ming Ruoxing was stunned for a moment, and quickly pulled up the quilt to hide his hot cheeks: "The bed is too narrow!"

"The bed at home is not wider than the one here, is it?"

He Tiansi muttered, and decided to make a further sacrifice: "Then I will trade with you? Anyway, my hearing is not as good as yours."

Just saying this, the next door suddenly became quiet.It looks like the hotel's measures are already in effect.

"Happy ending now, good night."

He Tiansi reached out and turned off the bedside lamp.

-

After a whole day of all kinds of tossing, Ming Ruoxing finally fell asleep.After this sleep, I slept peacefully until eight o'clock in the morning the next day.

In his plan, the new day could have started later.However, the plan always failed to keep up with the changes. At [-]:[-], a piercing scream broke through the air, forcefully prying him up from the bed.

Ming Ruoxing suddenly opened his eyes.The curtains were still drawn, but the room was no longer pitch black.Looking at the bed next door, the bedding was simply rolled up into a pile.And He Tiansi, who was dressed neatly, was maintaining the classic eavesdropping posture last night, clinging to the door like a gecko.

Ming Ruoxing could only ask him: "What are you doing... Who was calling just now?"

He Tiansi immediately turned his head, the expression on his face was mixed with astonishment, confusion and a little bit of inexplicable tension.

"Something happened!"

He lowered his voice: "The old man next door seems to be dead!"

"Oh." Although a little surprised, Ruoxing was not surprised to be honest.

On the contrary, He Tiansi seemed to have some wrong associations.I saw him walking back to Ming Ruoxing's side in two steps, making his heart ache.

"Tell me honestly, did you beat him to death with your punch last night?!"

"……are you crazy?"

Ming Ruoxing yawned, "You can kill someone with one punch, what do you think I am? Hulk?"

"What if there's a cerebral hemorrhage or something?"

"I'll punch you in the cheek now, you can try to perform a cerebral hemorrhage for me."

"Be serious, I'm worried about you!"

Seeing He Tiansi's rare seriousness, Ming Ruoxing also became a little serious.

"Tell me first what happened just now."

Although it may not be possible to hear everything through a door, He Tiansi still outlined the ins and outs of the past half an hour——

At about [-]:[-] in the morning, perhaps it was the agreed time to meet up, the middle-aged man's colleagues came to him.At first they rang the doorbell, then knocked on the door, and soon even called the mobile phone, but there was no response.

Combined with the situation last night, the group of people finally realized that the situation was weird.They immediately called the front desk of the hotel, and the front desk continued to follow the process of "ring the bell and knock on the door", and then took out the master card and opened the door.

It's strange to say that although the middle-aged man didn't move, the safety chain in the room was hanging in good condition.So the hotel called workers to cut off the chain, and it took a lot of work to get into the room.Immediately afterwards, the scream that Ming Ruoxing heard just now came.

Hearing this, Ming Ruoxing quickly finished washing, changed his clothes, and put his mobile phone and room card in his pocket.

"Let's go and have a look."

"It's funny, aren't you?" He Tiansi hastened to dissuade, "Those people must still remember us. Can we have a good time going out now?"

"It's because there is a festival, so once the police ask them to take notes, they will definitely suspect us. If we don't know the actual situation now, we will be in big trouble later."

What Ming Ruoxing said was indeed reasonable, coupled with curiosity, He Tiansi agreed to his suggestion, and the two of them opened the door and walked out together.

If you don't look, you don't know, it turns out that a lot of people have gathered in the corridor outside.Whether it was the cleaners pushing the cleaning cart or the ordinary residents covering their mouths and frowning, they all stretched their necks and looked into the guest rooms.

Ming Ruoxing reminded He Tiansi, "Don't be cowardly, we are not criminals", and led him to the next room.

The layout of the standard room next door is slightly different from that of Ming Ruoxing's room: after entering the door, there are two doors for the bathroom and cloakroom, and turning to the left is the bedroom area.

At this moment, there were seven or eight people standing in the bedroom of about 25 square meters. Some were crying in fright, some were busy comforting, some were making calls, and some were taking pictures and videos. It was really lively.

And on the big bed in the center of the crowd lay the protagonist of this incident—the fat corpse.

If Izumi had known, the middle-aged man would never have imagined that the real ugliness behind his hypocritical mask would be so nakedly displayed in front of everyone.

At this moment, he was completely naked, and half of the bath towel around his waist fell to the ground, revealing that worm-like, unsightly thing.And his stiff right hand, still maintaining the posture of the last second before death, solidified into an ugly sculpture that no one wanted to appreciate.

Around the body, there were also many debris scattered on the bed.Including but not limited to used napkins, red cotton ropes suspected of being bound, sex toys... and of course the big-screen TV in front of the bed.If the signal hadn't been cut off after encountering complaints, it should still be showing blushing and heartbeating videos in rotation.

Thinking of this guy doing this kind of thing just across the wall last night, Ming Ruoxing couldn't help feeling sick.He forced himself to change his mood, not to diverge his thoughts, and at the same time subconsciously moved closer to He Tiansi.

"What's the matter with you?" He Tiansi thought he had something to say, so he came over to listen.

The man standing in front of them heard the voice and suddenly turned around.Only then did Ming Ruoxing realize that he was one of the nine people in the elevator last night.And he also recognized Ming Ruoxing immediately, and immediately yelled.

"That's them! Those two who beat up last night!"

All eyes inside and outside the room were focused on Ming Ruoxing and He Tiansi.It seemed that the two of them could be judged to be the real murderers at any time.

"we are not--"

He Tiansi was about to explain when he suddenly heard a woman shout.

"Catch them!"

The crowd suddenly became commotion, and someone stretched out his hand towards Ming Ruoxing.Ming Ruoxing blocked it with a wave of his hand, the man was forced to take a step back, and then rushed forward again.Between pushing and shoving, the crowd had a chain reaction like dominoes. Someone seemed to hit the bedside table beside him, making a crisp sound of glass shattering.

"Everyone, get out! Get out!"

Ming Ruoxing tried to get them to stop destroying the scene, but no one moved.More than that, almost all the guests were glaring at him, only the hotel staff were nervously watching the situation, ready to come up to dissuade him at any time.

"Everyone, come out to me immediately!"

Suddenly, another man's voice came from the corridor, high-pitched and forceful, as if not allowing any resistance.

Magically, everyone fell silent.

Ming Ruoxing and He Tiansi stood at the door without moving.They soon saw a tall, thin, black-clothed, black-pants middle-aged man with a dark complexion striding forward.

Brother underworld?This was He Tiansi's first impression of this person.

Unfortunately, his intuition was wrong this time.Behind the man in black, several uniformed police officers came one after another, followed by forensic personnel and forensic doctors with toolboxes.

The police arrived, and the onlookers quickly and spontaneously gave up enough space. The policeman in black walked to the door of the guest room, paused for a while, his eyes seemed to sweep over Ming Ruoxing and He Tiansi, and finally Looking at the messy interior of the guest room.

"With so many people, don't you know that the murder scene needs protection?!"

Although it is not clear who the words are aimed at, the people who hear them feel uncomfortable.Someone explained in a low voice: When the body was first discovered, it was thought that the person could be saved, so they rushed up all of a sudden.

"absurd!"

The black-clothed policeman pointed at the unnatural fingers of the dead body unceremoniously: "Everyone is frozen, what else can I save! I think someone wants to fish in troubled waters!"

Having said that, he immediately ordered the two subordinates behind him.

"Xiao Zhang Xiao Wang, you take these people to record statements. Especially those who were in the room just now, there must be none left!"

There was a small commotion among the crowd, but it was quickly taken away.

The policeman in black ordered the rest of the people to pull up the cordon, and then walked straight into the scene of the crime.

-

Like other onlookers, Ming Ruoxing and He Tiansi were also taken to the rest area in the corridor.Two young policemen began to question them one by one and make preliminary records.

Taking advantage of the waiting time, He Tiansi quietly asked Ming Ruoxing: "We won't get into trouble, will we?"

"fine."

Ming Ruoxing is very sure: "It seems that the police are reported by the hotel, I believe this case will be resolved soon."

"What do you mean? There is such a connection?" He Tiansi was puzzled.

"You'll find out later."

Since the positions are relatively high, it will soon be their turn to talk.The two of them had just sat down and hadn't started yet, one of the policemen whispered something to his colleague, and then the two of them glanced at Ming Ruoxing at the same time.

The process of the conversation was very ordinary, and they basically asked about what happened in the elevator last night, and the alibi of the two people last night.

Ming Ruoxing didn't say much the whole time, basically He Tiansi was there trying to prove the innocence and innocence of the two of them.But this obviously did not impress the well-informed police officers.

"You can go, go to the scene to find Officer Lin, he is waiting for you."

This is the latest instruction they received after the transcript was over.

So the two got up and went to the room where the incident happened.I saw that a yellow and black cordon had been pulled up at the door of the room, and two forensic personnel were investigating the scene.And the "big brother underworld" Police Officer Lin was standing by the door, thinking.

Ming Ruoxing led He Tiansi over, but didn't take the initiative to speak, just stood beside him so naturally.

About two or three seconds later, Police Officer Lin finally came to his senses and glanced at Ming Ruoxing lightly.

"Is there something wrong?"

"It's just a coincidence."

He Tiansi was not dull, he immediately recognized the extraordinary tone of these two people's speech.

"You two...know each other?"

"Didn't I tell you that the world of demihumans is very small?"

Having thought of a countermeasure long ago, Ming Ruoxing replied confidently.
