Surprise Hotel

Chapter 7 Late Night Tavern

"The boss has good eyesight." Lu Xing smiled.

There was a little surprise in the woman's expression, "Haha, my husband is really good at joking. Why did you think I was the boss's wife when you came for the first time?"

Lu Xing deliberately sold a pass, "If I guess right, can you answer me a few questions?"

"No problem. But you have to talk about your reasons."

Lu Xing explained unhurriedly, "First of all, in terms of dress, you are a jeweled and extravagant girl. Women never hesitate to dress up, so the most gorgeous dress also means a relatively high status. Secondly. All the girls here are accompanying the guests. Only you can walk around at will. You don’t need to look at anyone’s winks. Even the upper-class dignitaries will show some respect to you. When you walk through the crowd, there is Many people smile and give way to you. This is the unique aura brought by status, and you can’t pretend to be. In the end, you can tell at a glance that I am new here, which means you are familiar with all the guests here. Out of the habit of being a host, you will come over and talk to me as soon as possible. Since you walked over, the eyes of the bodyguards in the venue have never been removed from me. Once it is determined that I am coming with hostility, they will first Rushed up for a while."

The woman clapped her hands appreciatively, "You are right, I am indeed the boss here. I don't know what question your husband wants to ask me?"

"About Xu Huizhen." Lu Xing said truthfully.

The proprietress frowned slightly, "The woman's death was raging, and even today's business is deserted. Let's investigate the case. Are you the new detective in the patrol house?"

"Lady boss has eyes." Lu Xing nodded, "It's time to answer my question. When was the last time Xu Huizhen appeared in Paramount?"

"Xu Huizhen didn't come last night and annoyed many bosses. She came here once the day before yesterday and came to pack her things. She said that she didn't want to continue working here. She was getting old and wanted to marry. I really wondered these few days. She has politely declined the proposal of her boss how many years ago. Now one-third of Paramount’s guests are coming to her, but she wants to marry."

"Because it affected the effectiveness of Paramount, Xu Huizhen's departure made you very angry. You hired a gangster Tan Xianghe, a worker Liu Zili, and directed a murder in a secret chamber. The motive was established, and no alibi was required." Lu Xing Stared into the eyes of the lady boss and said.

"Inspector, what are you kidding?" The lady boss suddenly became unhappy. "Killing her will not do me any good at all. What's more, I gave her a sum of money when she left. Many people can attest to this. Only women in the world know women best. This girl should have found true love. She has already made enough money for me, so she wants to live a happy life and I don’t have to stop it."

Lu Xing smiled awkwardly.

At this moment, the sound of throwing wine glasses suddenly came from the side bar, and many people's eyes were attracted.

I saw a man sitting in front of the bar, drunk drunk, and the bartender was talking to him at this time, and the two began to argue with each other.

"That man, who?" Lu Xing asked curiously.

"Zhao Zhiyuan, a half-hearted doctor. Every time I come here, I only order a glass of wine. I never look for a girl. I just look at it from a distance. I don't know what to do today. I'm drunk too much." The lady boss spoke with a look of disdain in her eyes.

Lu Xing was about to step forward to find out some information. Before he could get closer, the man had already dropped his money and got up and left.

When he left, a piece of folded paper fell out of his pocket.

Lu Xing bent down to pick it up, and when he opened it, he found that it was a prescription.He wanted to stop Zhao Zhiyuan, but the guy had already gone far, so Lu Xing had to temporarily take the prescription into his pocket.

He felt that this person was a little suspicious, so he called Lao Li who was intoxicated among the women and hurriedly chased him out.

Lao Li hurriedly wiped the lipstick mark on his face and followed his pace, "Inspector, you slow down..."

The two chased them all the way until they were near the old tavern where the crime took place, where they disappeared.

In some mysteries, the murderer likes to return to the scene of the crime after killing someone.

This Zhao Zhiyuan is very suspicious!

On Long Street at night, most shops and houses are lit.Only this old tavern was dark and gloomy, and there had been homicides, it seemed extremely terrifying.

Lu Xing stood in front of the tavern, thoughtfully, Lao Li was a little daring, and asked in a low voice, "Inspector, would you like to go in and watch it again?"

Lu Xing was hesitating, and a noise came from inside the tavern.

Kick.

Although he was also flustered, this sound strengthened his determination to rush in.

Lao Li bit his head and followed behind, and the two opened the door and walked in.

Without taking two steps, Lao Li suddenly realized that he had stepped on water under his feet, and when he looked down, his hairs suddenly rose.

In the cold moonlight, the red liquid was flowing slowly, passing under the feet of the two.

"Inspector, blood! Blood!" Old Li Hun'er was almost frightened.

Lu Xing was not shocked by the liquid on the ground, but was shocked by Lao Li.He stooped suspiciously, dipped some liquid with his hand, put it in front of his nose and sniffed, then laughed mockingly, "What is it? Red wine."

"Meow--" There was another jingling noise, and a wild cat quickly jumped out of the window.

A false alarm.

"Inspector, let's go!" Old Li said with a trembling voice.

"This place is indeed a bit crappy, check it tomorrow. Find a few people and seal the tavern tightly so that the scene of the crime will not be destroyed." Lu Xing said, retiring from the tavern.

The room in the hotel disappeared, and he was penniless, so he could only sleep in the patrol room tonight.

Old Li was considered thoughtful and asked someone to clean up the duty room and sent a new bedding.

Lu Xing was lying on the bed tossing and turning, his head seemed to be entangled in circles of numb, he was very restless and could not find a clue.

When he turned over, he found a small spinning top on the table.

It may be a gadget used by a certain guard for entertainment, but at this time this thing reminded Lu Xing of another thing.

In the sci-fi movie "Inception" directed by god-level director Nolan, there was such a bridge-when the protagonist goes deep into the dream and does not know whether he is in reality or illusion, he will turn the spinning top.If the top stops spinning, it means he is in reality.If the top never stops, it means he is still dreaming.

So what happened to me, is it a dream?

Maybe he can try the same way too!

So Lu Xing quickly got up from the bed and grabbed the little spinning top.

With a light twist of your fingers, the top spins quickly on the spot...
