critical

In front of Xingxi Hotel, Yan Ji pushed the door and got off the car, looked down at the phone screen again, and saw the three messages he sent one after another standing alone in a row, Yan Deng still did not reply to the message.

It was close to ten o'clock at this time, and there were no guests in the hotel lobby.

Yan Ji walked to the hotel concierge board, glanced at the content, and immediately walked to the elevator room without waiting for the waiter to approach.

The protocol board reads "Biopharmaceutical Enterprise Development Exchange Dinner in Phoenix Hall on the third floor".However, when Yan Ji came to the Phoenix Hall, he found that the guests and friends had already dispersed, and only the hotel staff were working hard to clean it.

Yan Ji glanced around, followed the signs to the bathroom.

The pair of peeking eyes from behind the wall flashed in her mind, Yan Ji stood outside the bathroom staring at the metal mark of the high heels on the wall, reached out to hold the folding knife in his pocket, and walked slowly into the bathroom.

Marble floors, black and brown tiles, white porcelain countertops, and crystal chandeliers are exactly the same as those in Yan Deng's photo.

Yan Ji carefully checked the inner room and the mother and baby room, and returned to the washbasin after confirming that there was no one there.Standing in front of the sink, she quickly determined the location where Yan Deng took the photo.

Yan Ji stood in front of the vanity mirror, looked at himself in the mirror, his eyes moved slowly uncontrollably, and looked behind him from the same angle as Yan Deng.

She quietly took out the jackknife from her pocket, fearful and looking forward to the half of her head protruding from the wall behind her, peeping in with those gloomy eyes.

It seemed that someone heard her wish in the dark. There was a slight sound of footsteps outside the bathroom, soft and low, gradually approaching, and stopped strangely by the wall.

Yan Ji looked behind him through the mirror, there was no prying head by the wall, just as Yan Ji breathed a sigh of relief, her pupils shrank suddenly, and she saw a long and thin shadow on the ground in the corner of the wall!

Thinking that there is no surveillance in the bathroom, Yan Ji turned around and rushed out.

"Oops." Aunt Cleaning exclaimed, almost throwing away the mop in her hand.

Yan Ji hastily put his hands behind his back and apologized repeatedly: "I'm sorry, are you okay?"

Auntie Baojie rubbed her chest with her hand and rolled her eyes, she was obviously terrified: "My god, my heart is about to jump out... Huh... Huh, it's okay, I was shocked."

Yan Ji was ashamed and at a loss: "I'm sorry, sorry, I don't know... I don't know there are people outside."

The cleaning aunt is quite reasonable, and seeing Yan Ji's young age, she doesn't seem to be here to catch the rape in bed, she complained incomprehensibly: "I just came here when I saw you come in. Didn't do it, look at the footprints on the ground."

Yan Ji turned his head and saw that he had stepped on a line of footprints on the shiny marble floor.She felt apologetic, and suddenly a thought flashed in her mind, and she hurried back to the sink to observe.

There are very light and very light water stains on the spotless mirror, as if someone painted with wet fingertips... Yan Ji blinked for a moment, almost in disbelief—a lifelike . ..little monster?

Still a cartoon version.

One after another unexpected appearances, Yan Ji's tense emotions were repeatedly interrupted, she was a little at a loss for a while, she looked at the fierce little monster in the mirror, and felt a little cute, and couldn't help but smile.

"Yan Ji."

There was a sudden sound, which exploded in Yan Ji's ears like thunder, and she straightened her back suddenly.

That weird, familiar and indescribable feeling, like a surging tide, instantly overwhelmed Yan Ji's five senses.When she came back to her senses, she had already run into a dark stairway, and there was an emergency exit sign in the corner with a bright green light.

Yan Ji stood on the stairs hesitating, not understanding why he ran here suddenly, just like leaving the airport avenue suddenly that night and driving into a hidden path next to it.

Holding the thought of "everything is coming", Yan Ji walked down the stairs.There is a passage in front of it, leading to the back kitchen, and the door is locked and locked.On one side is a spacious path leading to the outside of the hotel. There are traces of swill on the ground, which exudes a sour smell on a sultry summer night.

Yan Ji covered his nose and walked back. The moment he stepped on the stairs, he found a closed white door behind the stairs.

As he approached the white gate, Yan Ji felt a bit of coolness.She had worked in the catering industry, and she could tell by looking at the sliding door that it was the cold storage provided by Xingxi Hotel.

She stared at the door of the cold storage with extreme agitation in her heart, as if she was suddenly startled when she was walking down the stairs at certain times, and she couldn't remember whether she had closed the door or not.

Yan Ji took out his mobile phone without a clue, but Yan Deng still didn't reply to the message, this time she didn't hesitate and made a call.

"--beep!"

As soon as the phone rang, Yan Ji's head boomed, and he hung up the phone in a hurry.She turned her head to look behind her, her body was tense due to the momentary extreme tension, even a little stiff.

There was no one behind him, and there was no sound on the stairs, in the direction of the kitchen, or on the path outside.Yan Ji turned his head, stared at the slightly yellowed white door of the cold storage, and slowly put his ears on it.

The ears seem to be attached to the refrigerator, which is cool but not cold, and I can faintly hear the humming sound of the compressor.Very inconspicuous, not even as loud as the sound of a heartbeat.

Yan Ji maintained a listening posture, unlocked the phone screen with stiff fingers, and pressed the dial button again.

In just one second, but after a long and anxious delay, the first beep came from the phone.With this sound, Yan Ji's hands and feet became cold instantly.

She heard the phone ringing from the cold storage.

Why is Yan Deng's cell phone in the cold storage?Is she in there?The owner of the peeping eyes outside the bathroom kidnapped her?What should I say to the police so that the police will believe it and call the police immediately?Could this matter be related to Xingxi Hotel?The power behind the Xingxi Hotel is far greater than that of the People's Hospital. Will the police receive my call to the police and contact the people at the Xingxi Hotel first?

Yan Ji had a lot of thoughts in his mind, kept making phone calls, and kept trying to open the door of the cold storage, but no matter how much he pushed and pulled, the door wouldn't move at all.Taking out Uncle Zhou's job card, he found that there was no place to swipe the card.

After several attempts, Yan Ji turned around and ran upstairs.The kitchen is already off work and there is no way to find anyone, but there are staff in the lobby of the hotel, you can try to ask them to open the cold storage door to have a look.Human life is at stake, and grassroots employees are the most unlucky if something really happens, unless they are behind the scenes.

Yan Ji climbed the stairs while sorting out his thoughts, when he suddenly heard the sound of a car engine coming from the small road outside.With a heartbeat, she quietly walked back to the corner of the first floor of the stairs, leaning her belly against the handrail of the stairs and looking down.

Within a few seconds, footsteps sounded, hurried and sonorous, the sound of hard rubber-soled leather boots.Two tall men in work clothes of Xingxi Hotel came in from the outside. They wore peaked caps and their faces could not be seen clearly.

The two men went straight to the cold storage, and then the sound of "Dididi" entering the password sounded.

Yan Ji stood on the dark stairs, listening to the sound of the door of the cold storage sliding across the tracks, followed by the sound of "thud, thud" from the cold storage, dragging heavy objects and rubbing against the ground.

Yan Ji's palms were soaked in cold sweat, and he was puzzled, why did these two people go to the hotel's cold storage to collect goods at night?

You should know that in order to ensure freshness and reduce financial pressure, the hotel will place an order on the same night and let the supplier deliver the goods the next morning.Moreover, the hotel is a place where ingredients are consumed, and it is impossible to open the cold storage to transport things out when the kitchen is off work.

Yan Ji turned off all the sound, vibration and flash of the phone, turned on the camera mode and waited at the entrance of the stairs to watch the changes.

After a while, the dull footsteps gradually became clear, and Yan Ji saw the two men with peaked caps and unusually burly backs working together to lift out a large wooden box.The hotel's cold storage is purely frozen meat, seafood, dairy products, etc. I don't know what is in the big box.

Yan Ji was thinking up and down in his heart, suddenly the man walking behind said something, and the one in front turned his head and scolded in a low voice.

Yan Ji's pupils shrank, and he was startled, this porter turned out to be a foreigner with big nose and deep eyes? !

Xingxi Hotel is an old high-end local hotel. It is said that the bartender and the western food chef are all foreign staff, but it is not likely that the porter will also find two foreigners.

Yan Ji was far away, so he couldn't hear what language the two were speaking, but he was sure it wasn't English.Seeing the two men walking out, she hurriedly opened her e-mail and edited a delayed group mail to send out. At the same time, she walked down the stairs to see their license plate numbers.

Unexpectedly, the two men in peaked caps came back again, carrying carts and small wheels rumbling at the same time.Yan Ji stood on the stairs and didn't dare to move around. She had wall painting tools in her backpack, in addition to acrylic brushes, and two bottles of spray paint. When she walked, she would make a slight noise of shaking dice.

Yan Ji gripped the phone tightly, concentrated his ears and listened quietly to the sound downstairs in the dark. The wheels of the flat trolley rolled over the dimple of the threshold of the ice cave gate, making a "dangling" vibration.

This sound seemed to have shocked Yan Ji's soul by Huang Zhong Dalu, and it stretched thousands of miles in an instant.

If the Yan Deng in the wooden box is the last one, she will disappear from the world.

The word "disappeared" deeply hurt Yan Ji.

Without hesitation, she tiptoed down the stairs.The moment he passed through the door of the cold storage, Yan Ji's heart hung in the air and stopped beating.

Yan Ji didn't dare to turn his head, and tried his best to control the muscles of his whole body so as not to make any abnormal noises.One step, one step, stiff, mechanical, fast forward.

Closer, you can see the van on the path outside.The door of the truck was opened facing Yan Ji, like the mouth of a giant beast, and the wooden box was lying in the dark inside.

Yan Ji stepped over the steps, the light from the street lamp fell on her face, the thin sweat on her forehead and the tip of her nose shimmered.

Yan Ji put his hands behind his back, the jackknife had popped out, and the handle was hot.She didn't go to check the wooden box, but went around to the front of the car first, seeing that the driver and co-pilot were empty, Yan Ji was relieved.

Take a picture of the license plate, quickly edit and send it out.Yan Ji glanced at the tire, and then at the jackknife. If it was punctured, he would have to pay a lot of money.If it was a misunderstanding...

Before Yan Ji could think about it, there was the rumbling sound of the flatbed trolley. Compared with before, the sound of the plastic wheels rolling across the ground was much duller, and it was obvious that there were heavy goods piled up.

Yan Ji stood stiffly in front of the front of the car, staring at the dusty glass of the car, countless possibilities flashed through his mind, the worst thing was that two porters loaded the goods and got on the car from the left and right sides, catching himself.

Should I leave?

The license plate was recorded and the photo was taken. If something really happened, it can definitely be used as valid evidence.

The stuffy air, the dim streetlights, the sound of loading and unloading goods at the rear of the car... repeatedly pulled the string in Yan Ji's mind.Yan Ji stared blankly at the front of her eyes, her ears pricked up, and even the slightest sound made her feel anxious.

Sweat beads rolled into the eyes, astringent pain.A night bird flew away behind him, causing Yan Ji's heart to pound violently.

Fortunately, the two porters turned the goods and pushed the cart into the building.

Hearing the sound of the flatbed truck gradually disappearing, Yan Ji glanced back and saw that there was no one in the aisle. He was overjoyed and bent his knees slightly to leave.

At this moment, the screen of the mobile phone suddenly lit up, and Yan Ji connected the phone immediately without waiting for the ringtone to ring.

Yan Ji was surprised and delighted, and before he had time to stick the phone to his ear, he lowered his voice and asked eagerly, "Where are you?"

"Should..." Yan Deng's voice on the other end of the phone paused, and there was the sound of knocking on a wooden board, "It's a wooden box."

Yan Ji fell into an ice cave in an instant.

She heard her own voice calm and calm: "Understood, wait for me."

The author has something to say: It has been agreed with the editor that I will enter V on Sunday the day after tomorrow and update 3 on the same day.
