This NPC really has a problem

"That...boss, please wait a moment!" Boss Lu was about to open the door when a man's voice came from his ear.

He left earlier, Guan Yi ran up to the fourth floor in one breath, and stopped him panting.Guan Yi asked, "Boss, can I go in and get something?"

Before Boss Lu could answer him, he immediately explained: "Xu Liao and I agreed to go to their room to squeeze together tonight, but I still didn't take away the toiletries in He Mengban's room. It's all in there with a change of clothes, and I have to take it away."

Boss Lu nodded slightly, opened the door and let Guan Yi in.The door was not locked and could be opened easily.

After Guan Yi thanked him, he went straight to the bed, picked up the backpack on the bedside table, and left without staying for long.

Boss Lu stopped him: "Your girlfriend died, you don't seem to be sad at all."

Guan Yi was stunned for a moment when he heard the words, and remained silent for a long time, with a smile uglier than crying: "I don't know what to say...Meng Ban has a big temper, and when I'm with her, this will make her Then let her be, she will beat and scold when she is upset. After this quarrel, I was thinking whether to break up or not. I never thought that such a thing would happen. "

He sighed: "I also didn't expect that I wouldn't be very sad when she died, but I was more afraid when I said it."

"Fear?"

"If someone dies around you, there's nothing you're not afraid of," Guan Yi said.

Guan Yi looked at Boss Lu who was standing near the window, hesitated for a while and said, "Boss, don't stay here for too long. After all, it's a room where someone died, so it's not very auspicious."

Not long after his girlfriend fell to her death, the room where the accident occurred was simply called the unlucky room for the dead, which sounded utterly indifferent.

Boss Lu's expression didn't change, he just nodded and said, "I see."

Guan Yi left in a hurry after he finished speaking, looking like he really didn't want to stay in the room.

The wind blew, and it seemed to blow off the few remaining dead leaves on the branches.

The hotel is not high, with only four floors. When standing on the top floor, you can see the tops of a few dead trees outside the hotel.Those few dry and black trees always looked like they were going to die, but they grew new leaves every year, and they were never broken by the harsh winds of the winter fields.

The wind is about to close the open window—

Boss Lu stretched out his hand and pressed against the window that was about to be closed.

He stood behind the window and looked down at the downstairs. The twisted limbs of the corpse were spread out, and the only remaining eyeball was staring at the dark night.

The windows are open.

The weak girl said that she pushed open the window and saw the dead man fall downstairs before running out, but when Boss Lu left the hotel to check the body, he looked up and saw only one open window, followed by windows one after another It was opened, but there were people looking down from the windows.

The window of her room must have been open when the dead man fell through the window.And the girl, either she opened the window to see what was going on and then closed the window, or the girl was lying, she didn't open the window to look down at all.

If she hadn't seen it, how would she know who fell down the stairs?And how do you know that it is a person who fell from upstairs and not something else?

Boss Lu thought about it.

The deceased had screamed when he fell from the stairs, and it made sense to judge who fell from the screams, so why did the girl go out of her way to tell the lie that she looked down through the window?

Maybe she did close the window, but she was the first person to run out of the hotel, and Boss Lu felt that it was unlikely that someone in such a hurry would close the window.

Or maybe it's just habitual behavior...

Boss Lu didn't think about it anymore.

He stretched out his hand to close the window, and with the winter night wind, even if he didn't take the initiative to close the window, it would be blown shut by the wind.As for whether the deceased committed suicide, homicide, or died by accident, that had nothing to do with him.

Investigating cases should be left to professionals, and he is just an ordinary hotel owner.

After the ordinary hotel owner went back to the first floor and called the police with the landline on the counter, he checked the time on the wall clock and decided to go back to his room to rest.At this time, there was no one on the first floor. Boss Lu locked the door of the hotel, but left a light behind.There may be other guests staying in the middle of the night, and they can at least know that the hotel is still open when they see the lights.Although there were no vacant rooms in the hotel, it was better to sleep in the lobby than in the deserted winter fields.

After taking care of everything, Boss Lu went back to his room at the end of the second floor. His guest Bai Zhu was washing in the bathroom. There is only a small lamp on the desk, and I read a book under the lamp.

He was very focused while reading, only distracted for a moment when he heard the bathroom door open and close.The door of the study room was closed, and the light from the bedroom came through the gap at the bottom of the door, and the light went out after a while.

Boss Lu glanced at the clock on the table. It was past nine o'clock. He had the habit of going to bed early, so he could go to rest at about this time.Boss Lu looked at the time and then at the pages of the book, and decided to read this chapter first before going to bed.

Before he saw the end of the chapter, he heard the loud bang of the door being forced open from downstairs.

Bai Zhu, who was not asleep in the bedroom but was just lying on the bed in a daze, also sat up suddenly at the moment the sound sounded. He looked around in surprise, hesitating whether to go out and have a look, and saw the door of the study. Opened from inside.Boss Lu came out from inside, his steps fell on the ground without making a sound.

The study room behind Boss Lu was dark, he raised his hand to signal Bai Zhu to keep quiet.The lights in the room were also turned off. If it wasn't for the faint moonlight outside the undrawn window, Bai Zhu couldn't even see Boss Lu's movements clearly.

He obediently closed his mouth without making a sound.

For a while, the room was silent, not even the sound of breathing could be heard.

They heard footsteps.

Every step seems to be dragging, walking very slowly, with the voice of a woman asking.

"...Who killed me?"

The woman asked as she walked, "Who killed me?"

There was a trace of hysteria in her plaintive voice, as if a whirlpool was lurking beneath the surface of a calm sea.

Boss Lu sat down beside Bai Zhu, and he held the young man's hand, wanting to bring some comfort to the young man who hadn't grown up in this situation.

Bai Zhu was really a little scared at first, but he soon calmed down.

When Lu Ren was around, it seemed that there was really nothing to be afraid of.He had been very close to Lu Ren since the first book, and no matter what kind of danger he encountered, Lu Ren never let him have any trouble.

The footsteps were approaching.

The woman left the stairs and walked into the corridor. The closer she was, the more voices Steward Lu and Bai Zhu could hear.They heard a ticking sound like blood dripping on the floor.

Bang bang!

The woman knocked on the door next door.

"Is anyone there?" she called in a plaintive voice. "Is anyone in there?"

The person living next to her was Zhong Changya. The woman patted on the door for a long time, but Zhong Changya didn't respond.

With the posture of a woman, anyone with a heart will not open the door.

As soon as Bai Zhu thought so, the woman left from Zhong Changya's door and went to the opposite side of her.

She patted on the door opposite Zhong Changya: "Is anyone there? I see your lights are on, can you open the door for me?"

A childish voice came through the door: "Sister, wait a minute."

Bai Zhu's heart skipped a beat, the old people and children they saw on the stairs lived opposite Zhong Changya.

A desperately suppressed cough sounded from behind that door, and after a while the little girl asked, "But grandma, she seems to be in a hurry..."

It's over.Think in vain.

Sure enough, the woman hung the door heavily as if she had lost her patience: "Open the door, open the door for me quickly!"

She seemed to be begging: "Can you tell me one thing?"

The old man's trembling voice came from behind the door: "W-what's the matter?"

"...Who killed me." The woman asked, "Do you know who killed me?"

Bai Zhu even wanted to cover his ears, but suddenly he didn't dare to listen.

Boss Lu patted the back of his hand lightly.

Bai Zhu saw Steward Lu mouthing at him, and said silently: Don't be afraid.

Boss Lu frowned, and sat there without leaving. He could comfort Bai Zhu, but he couldn't do anything about the woman outside the old man's door.

They had all heard that woman's voice, and they all recognized who that woman was.

She is the dead Xiao Mengban.

"Why didn't you answer me?" The woman complained in a sharp voice, "Why didn't you tell me!"

The trembling voice of the old man couldn't hide his fear: "I don't know... I don't know who did it."

"Did you kill me? I'm dead, why are you still alive?"

"No...cough cough cough, it's not me, I didn't..."

"Come die with me." A strange laugh came from the woman's throat, "I'll come in."

She slammed the door hard.

They all heard the sound of the door being overwhelmed, and Bai Zhu unconsciously grabbed Steward Lu's hand.

Hearing that the door was about to break open——

A voice suddenly sounded in the corridor.

"You are...Xiao Mengban? Why are you here?" The drunk muttered, "Why are you covered with so much paint?"

……

Yu Xiao staggered down.

Xu Liao reached out to pull him, but was slapped open.Yu Xiao said unhappily: "Don't stop me...I still have to paint!"

Yu Xiao was dragged back to the room by Xu Liao, took the bag containing her painting tools and wanted to go out again.

"Painting your mother's painting!" Xu Liao was also annoyed, "You have something else in your mind besides painting, don't come back after you get lost! Don't blame me and Guan Yi for letting you sleep on the floor!"

Yu Xiao wandered out, "I've been painting all night, who cares about laying the floor!"

Yu Xiao walked down the stairs drunk like this, but was lucky not to fall down the stairs halfway.

After stepping on the ground of the second floor, he was attracted by the sound in the corridor.

"Huh." Yu Xiao rubbed her eyes in surprise.

On the first door on the left is a woman covered in blood. Her blood-stained dress is like a flower with its petals tied together.

The woman turned her head to look at her, revealing a broken face.

Like a shattered mirror.

Yu Xiao put together a complete face from the fragments: "Are you... Xiao Mengban?"

"Why are you here?" Yu Xiao asked puzzled, "Why are you covered with so much paint?"

He also wanted to say, let's go downstairs to draw together, I found a good material.

The face in the broken mirror smiled.

"...Did you kill me?"
