Master Swindler

The death of the female employees was so miserable that many timid guests dared not stay in the lobby.

Panic was spreading in the villa. If it wasn't for the blizzard outside, some people would have escaped long ago.

But even so, there are still many people with mental breakdowns. People died for two consecutive nights, and questions were heard all the time.

Someone even said in horror: "Could it be that the mountain is closed during the snowstorm, and there are perverted killers mixed in?"

This is obviously because I have watched too many movies, but it has been recognized by many people.

Seeing that Manager Hao couldn't stand it anymore, Lu Qingjia stepped forward and said, "Let's stop with baseless guesses."

"I understand everyone's feelings, but please also think about the women and children among the customers. Spreading anxiety does not do any good in this situation."

This is to the point, usually you will not be alone when you go to such a remote hotel, and most of you will take your family with you.

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

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

"According to the icing situation and the voices heard by many guests before, it can be preliminarily judged that she fell before lunch."

"The degree of twisting of her limbs indicates that she did not fall from a low floor. Following the location where the body was found and the range of her physical strength to crawl at that time, 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 repeatedly: "It's the same as I thought."

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

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

This range is still not small.

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

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

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

The deceased did not die when she fell down. If there was another person, even if she did not push her down, but did not inform the people in the villa 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 pale as paper, lowering his head and lowering his sense of presence, not daring to draw everyone's attention to him.

Then came the same sentence as the sentence: "If she just accidentally slipped and fell, then the window of the room where she fell must still be open."

"If there was another person in the room at that time, watching her condition with a cold eye, then it must be one of the twelve rooms that has residents."

Everyone suddenly realized, and immediately went upstairs together to check the twelve rooms.

The results obtained made people feel chills all over the body. There was no window in the room that was still open, which meant that someone watched her fall and closed the window indifferently.

There are not many guests in the hotel, there are only twenty or so people in total, and most of them are families, with limited rooms.

Of the twelve rooms circled, only three were occupied.

The residents of the three rooms that were circled quickly denied: "We have been catching up on sleep all morning, and we have never called room service. Besides, we have no grudges with the little girl."

Doctor 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 moment, she had completely reviewed the events of the whole hot spring villa in her heart.

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

"However, I just joined the job yesterday, and I am busy adapting to the situation of various departments and entertaining guests. Up to now, I haven't entered that office yet."

Everyone's suspicion of Manager Lu was not high at all. If he really wanted to hide something, he didn't need to speak up at first.

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

The guests' eyes fell 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 that it shouldn't have anything to do with the stranger we came to stay in the hotel, right? Is there any conflict in your hotel?"

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

"Besides, you can't all accuse me of accusations in order to get rid of the suspicion on your body. Don't I have any enmity with her?"

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

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

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

Manager Hao was so anxious that he wanted to find an excuse, but he heard Lu Qingjia's final blow——

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

The three customers nodded quickly: "Check, check, and prove that it has nothing to do with us."

Manager Hao seemed to be relieved when he heard the words, but when everyone checked the monitoring, they found that all the recent days had been deleted.

Although there was no direct evidence for this, it almost confirmed Manager Hao's suspicion.

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

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

They searched him for everything and locked him in an empty room.

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

Although Mr. Li is no longer here, Lu Qingjia also feels sad for him.

The deliberate planning, almost every step of the way, was destroyed in the hands of a fool.

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

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 were in a better mood lost their intentions to entertain, and the whole hotel fell silent before eight o'clock.

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

"Did he conspire with someone surnamed Hao to murder someone?"

Sure enough, at this point, even those guys who are as dull as these have discovered the key.

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

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

"From the beginning to the end, this matter is nothing more than man's calculation is not as good as heaven's calculation. Although Mr. Li's original plan is not perfect, it can be considered meticulous."

"If it goes according to the envisaged situation, Mrs. Li may be classified as an accidental death in the end, and the matter will be over at this point."

"It's just that Hao's surname is lucky, and he came across some scenes, which are so critical that he can easily draw out the whole elaborate layout."

"The one surnamed Hao used this as a threat, but it happened that the female employee listened to what he shouldn't have heard. Naturally, the one surnamed Hao couldn't let the ducks fly away. Whether it was an accident or there was a murderous intention at the time, the female employee is dead. .”

"But the person surnamed Hao is too stupid, so stupid that his mind is full of greed, short-sighted and deceiving, he thinks the matter is settled."

"It's not that there are smart people among the guests. For example, that Dr. Zhou figured out his problem in a few moments. I hope that such an idiot can resist the interrogation of the police at that time, and won't pull himself out, let alone the ruthless Li. Sir, can you bet on him instead of you?"

The five shook their heads quickly.

Lu Qingjia finally said: "So, by hinting, Mr. Li temporarily appeased the surnamed Hao so that he would not pull himself out in public. The method is very simple, as long as the surnamed Hao understands that there is no benefit in killing a fish and breaking a net. Since the police haven't arrived yet, there is a chance of escape, as long as you get a huge sum of money, you can sneak away abroad to hide your identity, and you can still live a chic life."

"It's just a lie. The moment Hao was brought out, Mr. Li had already decided to shut up everyone in the hotel. After all, if the incident was too bizarre, the police would pay attention to it. After digging deeper, it's hard to protect yourself. Not revealing."

The five people smacked their lips: "Does the surname Hao believe it?"

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 do you get down?"

"You will know when the time comes." Lu Qingjia made a fool of himself.

It's not easy for the five players to ask again, after all, they just discovered the clue, but once they come to ask—well, the whole mystery has been solved.

This is just the first day of the dungeon.

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

Lu Qingjia said: "I helped Mrs. Li check in yesterday and sent her back to her room."

Five people:"……"

I'm really sorry for misunderstood that you seduced a wife.

Glasses pondered for a while and finally found Huadian: "Wait, you said another key person in the incident? Besides Mr. Li and 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 of this hotel, he would not be discovered by the idiot surnamed Hao, and the door just happened to be broken. How can it be such a coincidence? From this point of view, there are accomplices."

It's not too dull, Lu Qingjia nodded to the glasses: "The cleaning fluid was changed recently, although the supplier surnamed Hao agreed to change, but he is easy to influence the opinion of a petty and cheap idiot. Just put a little bit of good in the reason and it will work."

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

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

No, how polite it is to say 'strive for', everyone thought, you are obviously cheating.

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

Speaking of this, the case is almost solved.

"The person surnamed Hao accidentally ran into two people having an affair. The time should be after checking in yesterday, in a relatively secluded place outside the villa. It hadn't started snowing at that time."

"Then Mrs. Li died in the evening, and a doctor among the guests happened to explain the cause of Mrs. Li's death. Now that Hao is a pig, he should understand what's going on, right?"

If you don’t accept it, what do you mean it’s over before it started?

The five felt that there was nothing left to do in this dungeon, but the mission of the game was only to keep people alive for three days, that is to say, after all the members knew the ins and outs of the whole incident, even if they were salty fish all the way, the points and evaluations they got Not too low either.

This is equivalent to being taken away by a big boss, so you have to express some meaning when you say something, right?

Everyone was trying to flatter, when they heard the sound of slapping from the windows at the end of the corridor.

They turned their heads and gasped, because through the light, they saw a snow-white face imprinted on the glass.

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

Several players quickly said: "Fuck, forget that you will become a ghost on the night you die that day."

Everyone subconsciously looked at Lu Qingjia. They still remembered the other party's amazing show last night.

But I woke up again in an instant, no!Mrs. Li's ghost has people to talk about, that's because Lu Qingjia has put a lot of energy into it.

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

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

However, as soon as he picked up his steps, he saw Lu Qingjia heading in the opposite direction again.

Everyone couldn't help but stopped.

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

put in—

Several people gasped, this was not over yet, Lu Qingjia conjured a blanket out of nowhere and put it on the ice sculpture ghost.

Painfully said: "It must be cold outside, right? Thank you for your hard work, come in and keep warm."

The ghost was obviously also a little dazed, and looked at Lu Qingjia in a daze, his expression switching between resentment and bewilderment.

Lu Qingjia said: "You are really a brave and kind-hearted girl. If you have made an accomplice with Hao to extort money, you won't be killed. You must have insisted on the justice in your heart, so you were murdered."

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

When the female ghost heard the words, her face turned red, and her resentment dissipated a lot.

Lu Qingjia continued: "But tonight is the last night of peace for other guests, please don't disturb everyone?"

The female ghost was obviously not very happy, but Lu Qingjia said gently but forcefully: "This is my request as the management."

"Even if it's a ghost, it's still a hotel employee, right? You are a hardworking and sensible employee, so don't violate professional ethics and cause trouble for guests, okay?"

Several players were stunned, watching helplessly as someone relied on his appearance, authority, and rhetoric to fool other simple and honest ghosts.

The ice sculpture female ghost had a look of embarrassment on her face, she looked at everyone with resentment for a while, and she obviously didn't want to brush off the words of her gentle boss.

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

"Be patient for a while tonight, and I promise to satisfy you later."

Several players were shocked when they saw the door of a room opened quietly, and the ghost of Mrs. Li came out from it. They smiled shyly at Lu Qingjia, and then they really disappeared into the night with the ice sculpture ghost.

"..."

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

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

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