Museum of the Dead
Chapter 43
At ten o'clock in the evening, this group of backpackers still maintained a lot of energy and regarded this youth hostel as their party villa.
But the proprietress sitting in front of the counter with bright red nail polish and watching Korean dramas obviously disagrees-this point will disturb other customers.
A large group of young people sighed a few times and cleaned up the table full of garbage left after the happy hour.
Playing like crazy is playing like crazy, most of the young people are people who talk about quality.
One of the boys with the same hairstyle as "C Ronaldo" raised a goblet and walked towards the counter.
"Yo——" "C Luotou" draws a long tail, and looks ambiguously towards the proprietress, "It's so late, the cleaning is so beautiful, and you rush us back to the room so quickly, obviously there is an appointment!"
The sadomasochism Korean drama that was popular many years ago was playing on the phone. The proprietress stared at the screen expressionlessly, with ten fingers spread out, in order to let the freshly applied nail polish dry faster.
She didn't even look at "C Ronaldo", and didn't bother to raise her eyelids: "Where is it cool to stay? Don't hinder my mother from watching Korean dramas!"
It can be seen from this tone that the relationship between the two is quite familiar.
"Why are you so aggressive?" The young man wasn't angry at all, his tone was as frivolous as the beginning, "Is there anything wrong with being so beautiful? Tell me—"
Halfway through the conversation, two handsome men came in from outside, "C Luotou" raised his eyebrows, his eyes wandered around the two of them, squinted his eyes and said to the proprietress: "You are not kind, no wonder you treat me so well." Indifferent, it turns out that I have an appointment with the handsome boy!"
After hearing this, the proprietress pressed the pause button, and said with some impatience in her tone, "Who am I dating?"
"That." The man pointed to the two people who were clearly walking towards the counter, and whistled loudly.
The proprietress raised her eyes - she knew these two people, and she just stayed in her shop not long ago.
"Hi, Coolguy!" "C Ronaldo" greeted enthusiastically.
Fei Yan hurriedly replied politely, and then turned his gaze to the proprietress.
"Hello." Fei Yan took out his phone and clicked on Jiang Shanshan's photo, "I want to ask you a question."
After all, he was his guest, and he was still good-looking. The proprietress's attitude was quite different from before. She took the phone and stared at the screen.
Fei Yan explained from the side: "Her name is Jiang Shanshan, she is my younger sister. I lost contact with her a month ago. I want to know if she has stayed at your place? The registration date is around July 7th."
The lady boss shook her head after looking at the photo for a few seconds.
That Weibo post was published on July 7th, more than a month ago.Youth hostels have a lot of traffic—especially online celebrity shops like this one.It is normal for the proprietress to not remember a guest who stayed more than a month ago.
"Wait a minute, I'll read the records." The disappearance of a loved one is hard for anyone. The proprietress is also a reasonable person. After speaking, she took out a thick record from the drawer under the counter Book.
The proprietress flipped through it quickly. Nowadays, it is rare to use a record to register the information of the guests-maybe this is a private operation and the police cannot control it.
"July 7th...5th..." The proprietress flipped through the pages one by one. She seemed to be short-sighted, and her eyes would narrow into a slit from time to time.
To focus, she points to line by line on the page with her red-painted fingernails.
"Well...here! Found it!"
Fei Yan and Yin Lu An looked over, and there was a line of information on it: July 7th, Jiang Shanshan, 4, followed by ID card information.
"Stayed for three days and checked out on the third morning."
"302...does it mean the room number?" Fei Yan's breathing became more cheerful, and at least the matter had some clues.
"Hmm..." The proprietress nodded and whispered, "This girl really lived in our shop, I really don't have any impression..."
Fei Yan subconsciously glanced at Yin Luan, who also met his gaze.
"You said whether we should go to that room to have a look, maybe there will be some clues." In fact, the room where the passenger stayed a month ago will not leave any clues, because the hotel will clean it up, and there will be follow-up Others live in.
But that's the only clue they have so far—there's no other way.
"The two guests staying in Room 302 are coming back with you tonight!" The proprietress flipped through another notebook, "It's called... Liming."
Fei Yan was taken aback for a moment, he didn't know whether this matter had become easier or more troublesome.
……
In room 302, a small stereo was playing at this time, and there was a long and classic violin piece in it.
Li Ming was lying on his side on the bed staring at the webpage in a daze, the smell in the air still made him unable to resist cursing: "I said... can you stop eating instant noodles?"
His companion, that is, Xu Jun, a tall and strong man with a beard, was sucking instant noodles in a bucket at this time.
Xu Jun obviously didn't listen to his words, and the sound of smoking became louder.
Li Ming was a little annoyed, got up from the bed as if giving up, and yelled: "Every time you say you want to lose weight, you eat instant noodles next to me, damn it, you mean it!"
Xu Jun glanced over and held up the barrel of noodles in his hand: "No matter how imitated, it is not the unification of the old altar!"
Li Ming swallowed, cursing inwardly, this food is really good to eat, but he insisted on picking his favorite flavor!
Mixed with the smell of sauerkraut and seasoning packets, it's so damn sweet!
Just at this time someone knocked on the door, Liming got out of bed, pointed at Xu Jun while rubbing his shoes: "You fucking leave me a mouthful!"
Liming opened the door after roaring and looked. He was stunned for less than half a second and then leaned against the wall, posing in a posture that he thought was cool and unrestrained, with an airy voice, "Hi, baby, I came to find you so late. I?"
Fei Yan: "..." Didn't he see a moving iceberg behind him?
Yin Lu'an glanced over coldly, the corners of Li Ming's mouth were a little stiff, but he was still pretending to be calm.
The time limit was too short, Fei Yan didn't care about talking nonsense with him, and said straight to the point: "We are looking for you right now because we want to discuss something with you."
"What?" Li Ming raised his eyebrows and looked at him, this kid... looks too suitable for his own taste!
Fei Yan ignored his gaze, and told him about Jiang Shanshan in a few words.Unexpectedly, after the latter heard the name Jiang Shanshan, his expression changed slightly.
Although it was only a momentary change, Fei Yan still noticed something. His eyes were sharp, no longer as harmless as usual, and he said directly: "Do you know her?"
Li Ming could hear the certainty in Fei Yan's tone, but if he pretended at this time, it would make people suspicious: "Well, it's not considered acquaintance."
"After all, when I knew this name, she had disappeared."
Fei Yan stared at him closely, not letting go of any expression on his face, "Who are you?" He had never gotten any information about the person in front of him from Jiang Shanshan's mouth before.
"I forgot to introduce myself." Li Ming tossed her hair angrily, and pulled out a business card as if conjuring, "The light at the end of the white night—— Li Ming. I am a private detective."
Fei Yan took the fancy looking business card, the golden back cover almost blinded his eyes.
"Could the business card be fake?" The person in front of him didn't know whether it was an enemy or a friend, Fei Yan remained cautious, and his body subconsciously leaned towards Yin Lu'an.
Private detectives generally have higher observation and action abilities than ordinary people. Li Ming obviously saw this action, rolled his eyelids and said with a smile: "Your index finger and middle finger are farther apart than other fingers, which means you have been using cameras and other things for a long time. , indicating that you may be a reporter or a freelance photographer. Your skin near the hairline is lighter than elsewhere, indicating that you often wear a hat. In this way, you often work outdoors.”
"I guess you are a paparazzi." Li Ming raised his eyebrows and looked at the young man in front of him.
Invisible pretense - the most deadly.
Looking at Fei Yan's surprised eyes, Li Ming was rather proud. Of course, he didn't deduce this information. Some small details about the body can only reveal the person's habits, but it's hard to guess the occupation.
All this information was investigated bit by bit after he received the entrustment from Jiang Shanshan's biological father.
But there is one thing he can assure, "Also, I guess...you are gay."
Fei Yan was stunned, he glanced at Yin Lu'an out of the corner of his eye, in fact... he only discovered this matter in the last few days.
Maybe... even earlier.
Yin Luan frowned at the side, he couldn't understand what gay meant, but... this man... had annoying eyes, he was always looking at Yanyan.
Yin Lu'an was very restless, grabbed Fei Yan's wrist, and gently dragged him behind her, completely blocking Li Ming's sight.
His words can only be seen by himself.
"Why investigate?" Yin Lu'an glanced at Li Ming coldly, without any extra words.
Li Ming felt a gust of wind hit the back of his neck, and he couldn't help changing his posture, "What's the benefit of telling you me?"
As soon as he finished speaking, he heard Xu Jun's loud voice coming from the room: "Old Ming! Do you still drink soup? I left you several sips!"
Li Ming, who is pretending: "..."
Standing aside, Fei Yan and Yin Luan were also embarrassed: "..."
After a while of silence, Fei Yan said, "Why don't we wholesale a box of instant noodles for you, tell us?"
dawn:"……"
It's really... I'm afraid of teammates like pigs, it's really timely.
Li Ming's head was drooping, and he looked a little listless.When Fei Yan was about to discuss with him again, he heard the phone vibrate.
Yin Luan answered the phone, "Amber."
As soon as Amber untied the acrostic written on the letter, she couldn't wait to tell the two of them the news.
Yin Luan frowned, "The branch man?"
Surprise and puzzlement flashed across Fei Yan's face, and he repeated, "The branch man?"
At the same time, Yin Lu'an also hung up the phone: "Amber said that Jiang Shanshan might have stayed with the branch man some time ago."
"But what is a branch man...?" Fei Yan had never heard this word before, "A person whose body is covered with branches? But this is too outrageous—"
"You're right." Li Ming's expression suddenly became serious, and his seriousness made people feel a little reliable, "It's the person with branches growing out of his body."
"This is actually a disease in which the skin of people with this disease begins to lose water, dry up, and gradually become rough like tree bark. Then, the limbs begin to grow tissue like tree trunks. The incidence of this disease is extremely low , may be affected by the environment, there are several people with the disease here."
"How many?" Fei Yan had never heard of this disease, and he couldn't believe that there were several cases in the same area.
"En." Li Ming yawned, "I'm so sleepy! Let's discuss the rest of the matter tomorrow! As for the branch people, I've already found out where they are going."
"Then... shall we wait for you in the hall tomorrow?" There was another clue, Li Ming didn't look like an enemy anymore, and Fei Yan's mood brightened.
"Well, I'm going to sleep until I wake up naturally." Li Ming half pushed the door open, obviously not wanting to communicate any more.
"Yeah." Fei Yan waved his hand, "Hurry up and drink the soup! It won't taste good if it gets cold!"
dawn:"……"
Then the door of 302 was slammed shut.
Fei Yan's whole body relaxed, he was relaxing his tense nerves, when Yin Lu'an's voice sounded in his ears: "What does he mean by gay...?"
Fei Yan thought for a while, "Gay means, he means I like men."
Yin Luan's black eyes were filled with a person, "Then I'm gay too."
Fei Yan raised his eyes and met the other's eyes, and then heard the magnetic voice sound again: "I only like one person - he is also a man."
The author has something to say: Today is a piece of candy hidden at the end~~for you who have been seeing the end~~
Curator: I am also gay, the one I like is a virgin
Yan Yan: The person I like...is an old virgin
Gee...

Mixed with the smell of sauerkraut and seasoning packets, it's so damn sweet!
Just at this time someone knocked on the door, Liming got out of bed, pointed at Xu Jun while rubbing his shoes: "You fucking leave me a mouthful!"
Liming opened the door after roaring and looked. He was stunned for less than half a second and then leaned against the wall, posing in a posture that he thought was cool and unrestrained, with an airy voice, "Hi, baby, I came to find you so late. I?"

Yin Luan answered the phone, "Amber."
As soon as Amber untied the acrostic written on the letter, she couldn't wait to tell the two of them the news.
Yin Luan frowned, "The branch man?"
Surprise and puzzlement flashed across Fei Yan's face, and he repeated, "The branch man?"
At the same time, Yin Lu'an also hung up the phone: "Amber said that Jiang Shanshan might have stayed with the branch man some time ago."
