Chapter 107 Murder Night(1/2)
There was no scary face or fleeting appearance.
The fireball lights up the front of the walkway...
The building of this hot spring hotel is not high, with only two floors in total. Looking down from the sky, two "L"s form an unclosed "mouth".
The hot spring is in the middle courtyard.
The place where Xia Yanzhen and the others live is at the top of Building L, on the second floor.
The first floor is where people from the tour group live.
The first floor at the intersection between the two rows of buildings is the hotel lobby. The other L-shaped building is not occupied yet.
Xia Yanzhen and the others came to the stairs and went down, and saw one or two lights swaying.
Aoxue extinguished the fireball in time.
Several people went downstairs and saw two lights flickering: "Are they guests?" They didn't yell at anyone's face.
"Boss, why is the power outage? Let's come out and take a look." Tao E said.
"He's a guest. Maybe it was affected by the storm. There are flashlights here." The hotel owner immediately took out several flashlights from behind the counter and handed them over.
It was obvious that he had been prepared.
It seems that power outages due to storms are not uncommon on the island.
Several people took the flashlights and turned them on, immediately lighting up the place.
"Boss, we also heard a scream." Tao E said bluntly.
The boss heard this: "I heard it too, but I'm not sure where it came from. I plan to go and have a look in case any of the guests are injured..."
"Let's come together. We can help you if you need anything." Tao E said.
"Thank you very much." The boss bowed his thanks and asked another young man to follow with a pile of flashlights.
He and Xia Yanzhen walked towards the accommodation rooms on the first floor.
This hot spring hotel is run by a family with some employees.
The boss’s surname is Sifang, but no one knows his specific name.
Boss Sifang came to a door and knocked. After a while, someone came out and opened the door: "What's going on?"
Yawning again and again, it was obvious that he had just been woken up from his sleep.
It was stormy outside and not everyone was woken up by the screams.
"Guest, I just heard someone shouting. Is anyone injured?" Sifang asked.
"No, but is there a power outage?"
"Yes, it may be caused by heavy rain. This is a flashlight, please keep it." Sifang took the flashlight and handed it over.
"Oh, okay." The man, who was between middle-aged and old, took the flashlight and closed the door.
"Let's come too." Tao E said.
"Okay, please excuse me, guest." Sifang bowed there again.
Several people scattered in the corridor and knocked on the doors of other rooms.
People inside were quick and slow, and most of them came out to open the door. A few people heard the screams, and some people were fast asleep and were only woken up by the knocking on the door.
There is no doorbell installed on this door either.
There are a total of twenty-two tourists in the tour group, and the tour guide who leads the group is an islander. He does not stay here at night, but stays at his own home.
Xia Yanzhen and the others quickly woke up half of the people.
Tao E was about to knock on the next door when he suddenly stopped and sniffed hard.
It seems that there is a bit of blood smell?
He took the flashlight and shined it towards the ground.
The style of the hotel is a bit antique. After entering, the walkways and stairs have wooden floors. Everyone takes off their shoes and puts on slippers to walk here.
The flashlight's light shone on the wooden floor, and Tao E saw a trace of blood in the crack of the door.
"Here." Tao E greeted.
"What?" Several people came over, and a few tourists from all directions who were woken up and did not go back to sleep immediately also came over.
"It smells like blood." Tao E said and patted the door hard.
There was no response from the door.
"Boss, do you have the key?" Tao E pressed the door handle, but the door did not open.
The door here is not like a hotel, it is not card-operated, it is similar to the room doors in many homes.
When the door is unlocked, both the inner and outer door handles can be pressed to open.
You will definitely lock the door when you go to bed at night, and you need a key to open it.
"We usually don't keep the keys as backup when we give them to guests," Sifang said.
"Then -" Tao E took a step back and kicked open the thick wooden door.
The wooden door is strong, but the door lock is not strong enough.
He was kicked badly by Tao E.
With the sound of the wooden door knocking down the wall behind it, several people shined flashlights into the room.
Waves of screams came from behind, mixed with the chaotic sound of stepping back and footsteps hitting the ground.
There was a lot of blood in the room.
It appears in the shape of a jet, appearing on the tatami on the floor, on the walls, on the windows, and even on the ceiling.
The two beddings were soaked with blood.
A corpse was lying across the room, with a hideous face, full of fear and despair, and the body was covered with wounds dripping with blood and flesh.
It doesn't look like it was cut with a sharp blade.
There was another person in the room. Although his body was stained with blood, his clothes were intact and he had no wounds. He was probably unconscious.
"vomit!"
Some people were overwhelmed by the strong smell of blood and retched directly.
If my stomach wasn't empty in the middle of the night, I would have vomited by this time.
"Call the police, call the police..." Boss Sifang's reaction was quite quick, he stammered and was going to call the police at the lobby counter.
The tourist who had just taken a flashlight and went back to sleep was woken up again. He opened the door dissatisfied and wanted to scold him.
The scene was chaotic.
"The window is open." Tao E whispered.
The window of the room is open.
This is the first floor, and the wind and rain are pouring into the room, bringing not only the smell of blood, but also a chill.
"I'll go check out the other rooms." Wang Bing said.
This noise should have woken up the people in other rooms, even if they had fallen asleep.
There's a power outage and it's dark. Don't you want to open the door and see what's going on outside?
"Together."
Bai Huang, Gao Qiang follow Wang Bing.
The boss went back to the lobby and called the police station.
Most of the tourists followed, leaving only two brave young men standing there, peering into the room.
"Is there anything?" Xia Yanzhen asked.
The things in his mouth refer to "abnormal things" that he cannot see.
"No." Tao E shook his head, "Can you see the blood and corpse?"
"Yes." Xia Yanzhen nodded, "I can still see one person, he should be alive."
Preliminary confirmation is that everyone sees the same thing.
The tragic scene in the room happened for real, and it was not some illusion or deception.
"here has."
"There are some here too."
Gao Qiang's voices came from the other side.
The remaining room with the door closed had the same miserable situation as the first room.
Two people, one corpse and the other unconscious.
To be continued...
