Surprise Hotel

Chapter 2 Truman's World

When he woke up, Lu Xing looked at his watch subconsciously.

He suddenly found that the pointer did not move.

He quickly got up from the bed and was surprised to find that the food that had been kicked over on the ground had disappeared. Even the stains splashed on the wall were wiped away, and the whole room seemed to have been cleaned again.

Outside the door, there was a faint sound of steam train whistle.

This is an unusual detail.

You know, this is a desert, how could a train pass here?!

Moreover, listening to the sound is the oldest steam train!

Lu Xing hurried to the door and pushed the door open.

This time, after the door was opened, he successfully walked out of the circular space.

The world in front of him seemed different from what he knew.

There are rickshaws running on the street. Among the crowds, men are wearing long gowns and mandarins or Chinese tunic suits, while women are wearing cheongsams, making them extremely enchanting and graceful.

In the house not far away, the sound of phonograph records floated, and the music was classical and melodious.

Everywhere is the charm of old Shanghai Beach.

Obviously not a modern city, more like the Republic of China after 1912.

He felt that his worldview was subverted again.

Lu Xing turned around and was surprised to find that the room number 0136 behind him had disappeared, replaced by a mottled wall.

what's the situation?Crossed?

Lu Xing is still in a hotel, but this western-style hotel is not the one in the desert.

Looking at the world in front of him, he was completely dumbfounded.

The scientific theories mastered in the past two decades cannot explain the current circumstances.

Finally, he touched the clothes on his body that hadn't been changed, and found an anonymous letter.

"From now on, you will exist as the new inspector-inspector of the patrol room, and your mission is to solve the murder case.

Please go downstairs to the main entrance of the hotel, where someone is waiting for you.

After completing the hunting mission, you will get important items.

At the same time, room 0136 in the hotel will be reopened for you.

If you fail to find the murderer, you will be trapped in this world forever!"

Lu Xing looked at the contents of the letter, and his hands trembled slightly.

Inspector?

He guessed that he had entered a "Trumen world" and was about to be forced to play a role.

After the panic, it was a long time of thinking.

In this strange world, everything is unknown.I don't know what weird things will happen next. Instead of just sitting around and waiting to die, it's better to follow the instructions in the letter and try it out.

Lu Xing walked downstairs anxiously.

Sure enough, he met the detective who greeted him at the door.

"Inspector."

The respectful voice of the detective in the patrol room made him recover from a daze.

Lu Xing vaguely replied.

"Let's go, everyone is waiting for you!" the agent urged.

Lu Xing was confused.

Investigate the case directly when you come up?He doesn't have any preparation work!

Even if you give him something like "Detective Profession Handbook"!

Ten minutes ago, he was taken by an old car to the door of a dilapidated old tavern.

"Aren't we supposed to go to the patrol room?"

Lu Xing asked curiously.

The agent said suspiciously, "This is the scene of the crime, did you forget?"

"So..."

Lu Xing thoughtfully, he got out of the car awkwardly.

Being put in this position, it can be used according to the gourd painting.

Is it too bad for the dead?.

But in order to clarify the many weird experiences he had experienced before, to withdraw from this world, Lu Xing couldn't care about so much.

He frantically tried to recall the detective films and TV series and mystery stories he had seen in his mind, while biting his head and walking in.

This tavern, which was opened near the houses, fell into disrepair and has been closed for many years.

The cramped space was filled with the smell of blood mixed with mildew.

On the floor of the wine storage room lay a female corpse wearing a cheongsam. The blood on the ground had not yet dried.

The blood splashed around with the corpse as the center, and the scene was extremely tragic.

The fresh corpses look a little out of tune with the abandoned shops that have been closed for many years.

Lu Xing saw this scene for the first time.

He forced the tumbling in his stomach, opened the window of the tavern, and took a breath of air outside.

Perhaps because of the rusty hinges, when the window was pushed open, there was a sharp metal rubbing sound.

According to the agent's statement, the tavern was originally closed for many years, but this morning, the door of the tavern suddenly opened for some reason.

When a female reporter passed by, she heard someone smash the door, so she entered courageously and found someone locked in the wine storage room.

Two men covered in blood ran out of it, accusing each other of killing someone.

"This is an autopsy report, please go through it." While worrying about where to start, the agent handed in a document in time.

Lu Xing took a look and couldn't help frowning.

Deceased: Xu Huizhen.

Time of death: Two o'clock in the morning.

Cause of death: Death was caused by a blunt blow to the head, no other trauma.

Murder weapon: wine bottle, checked, no fingerprints.

"Smashing people to death with wine bottles is really cruel!" He subconsciously sighed, but the agents seemed to have become accustomed to such cases.

It can be seen how bad public security is in this world!

Lu Xing had a straight face, he was an inspector now, and he definitely couldn't be more counseled than those detectives.

So he deliberately lowered his throat, pretending to be the dignity of a detective, "Where is the suspect? I want to interrogate myself."

According to normal logic, the homicide was caused by people, so the two men who ran out of the wine storage room must not get out of the relationship.Some clues may be obtained from them.

"Yes, detective!" The two young agents saluted and turned to find someone.

Lu Xing touched his chin and began to think through these pieces of information.

There are too many strange things in this case.

According to the agent's description, the tavern has been closed for many years.

In that case, how did the female victims appear here?

How did the two male suspects come from?

What is their purpose for coming here?

If the murderer is among the two, who locked the door outside?

Also, why is the cheongsam on this female body so weird...

Lu Xing had a series of questions in his heart, which could not be answered.

He had watched a lot of Sherlock Holmes movies before, and it was only when he was actually facing the scene that he realized that handling a case was really not that simple.

He tried to keep himself calm, otherwise people would find out that he was not the real detective.

At this moment, he suddenly remembered one thing!

Inspector, female body in cheongsam, imprisoned in secret room, murder...

These ones……

They are all keywords that appeared in the "Surprise Forbidden Code-Murder"!

A bold guess sprouted in his mind.

Could it be that he entered the world in the book?

Lu Xing now has no doubt that this is possible.

In a short day, he experienced too many weird things.

In this way, the dilapidated old tavern was cleaned out of a clean space.

One table, two long benches.

On this side of the bench is Lu Xing, who is sitting in distress, with an overwhelming momentum.

On the other side of the bench, there are two men with horrified faces.

On the left, he is wearing coarse clothes. The older man is called Liu Zili, with a simple and honest appearance. He is a workshop worker.

On the right, a young man wearing a beret and full of alcohol was named Tan Xianghe. He was sullen and he was a street gangster.

Lu Xing glanced at the two of them, then drew his gun from the waist of the agent on the side, and placed it heavily on the table with the gun pointed at the two.

"I ask, you answer."

He deliberately said with a straight face.

If the case is to be investigated well, the momentum must be overwhelming.

Sure enough, the two shuddered involuntarily, and their eyes involuntarily turned towards the muzzle of the black hole.

"You... just ask."
