Reasoning Notes

Chapter 23 Reasoning Notes 1:12 Tsundere Detective (23)
As soon as she walked in, Xia Zaoan let out a "huh" sound: "Why do the stairs still lead to the bottom?"

As we can see, the stairs also seem to lead to floors below ground.The pale and ambiguous light poured weakly in the corridor, and a feeling of suffocation slowly permeated.The stairs below seemed to lead to the underworld, and the cold air surged from bottom to top.

"Go down and have a look."

Hearing what I said, Xia Zaoan grabbed my arm reflexively: "There will be no ghosts, right?"

"Are you an idiot? How can there be ghosts in this world?"

Before the words were finished, there was a faint sound of footsteps under the empty stairs.

Boo-boo-boo-

A string of chills ran through my nerve endings in an instant.The skin all over my body tightened, and my throat moved a few times with difficulty.Xia Zao'an was also terrified, and grabbed my arm hard.I wanted to cry out in pain but didn't dare to cry out.

A slender figure slowly crawled out from the wall.We almost stopped breathing.

Xia Zao'an actually started to recite the incantation of "the sky is spirited and the earth is spirited".The Taoist priests I saw on TV were all like this, but Xia Zao'an only remembered the six words "heavenly and earthly", so she repeated it over and over again, not sure if it would work or not, anyway, her legs began to tremble.

"Hey, who is it?" Li Xiaochong was the one who was bold, he asked aloud.

"Who is what?"

Following the sound, a human face emerged in the dim light.The man who came up was short and had a flat face. Although it was not good-looking, it was not a scary grimace.

We were relieved immediately, and let out the breath we held in our chests.

"Who are you?" The man asked as he walked up.He was wearing dark blue overalls, and his cloudy eyeballs rolled around us.

Li Xiaochong showed him his police ID.

"Ha, it's Sir. Are you here to investigate the case last night?" The man guessed quite accurately.

"That's right. We're here to do a supplementary investigation. Are you..."

"I'm an electrician here, and here's my work ID." The man revealed his work ID in his underwear pocket.

I looked under the stairs and asked, "What's down there?"

"The motor room."

"Oh." No wonder he came up from below.

"Are you the only electrician here?"

"Not really. There were three of us, but there was only one electrician on duty."

"So you were on duty last night?"

"Yes."

"Why did the hotel suddenly lose power last night?"

"Someone pulled the switch off."

"Hey!" I was a little surprised, "Isn't it a malfunction?"

"No way!" The electrician waved his hand, "It was broken on purpose. I ran over and pulled the switch."

I quickly took out my notebook and started taking notes quickly.The electrician glanced at me suspiciously.He was probably acting strangely towards me, a high school student.

"So, did you find anything when you came over?"

"Didn't I already tell you the police about this? Why are you asking again! I told you, but I didn't notice anything strange."

"Did you meet anyone?"

"We met!" The electrician shouted resentfully, "I met a lot of people! The whole hotel was in a mess at the time, and I couldn't see clearly. When I came here, I bumped into many people. I was scolded badly." Already!"

I looked at him sympathetically, and asked again, "Did you meet the person who pulled down the switch when you ran to the electrical room?"

"No, besides how do I know who pulled it. Any other questions?"

The electrician was growing impatient.I didn't bother to pierce the powder keg, so I quickly ended the conversation.

Chapter Eight Another Evil Ghost

A man with glasses on the phone hurried past in the corridor.He just walked out of the room over there, and it seems that the 12th floor has begun to live in guests.

The hallway is similar to what you see on TV.At that time, the media and the police were standing where we are now, and there were more than a dozen policemen on the other side. In this way, this corridor is almost like a secret room.

How did the evil spirits get into this secret room?

According to what the electrician said just now, if someone pulls the switch, that person is probably an evil spirit.I thought about it again, and felt wrong again.The evil spirit wanted to run down to the electrical room to pull down the switch. When the power went out, the police all chased him to the 7th floor. How could he reach the 12th floor earlier than the police?

Do evil spirits have associates?

Even if the person who appeared in the electrical room is not mentioned, how can the evil spirit appear on the 12th floor?

I looked at the rows of doors in the corridor, and suddenly thought, if the evil spirit bypassed the police waiting on the 12th floor, ran to a certain room on the 11th floor, and then climbed through the window to a certain room on the 12th floor Woolen cloth?
It's not impossible to do so, but it seems a bit rushed in time.Moreover, the evil spirit has to have a lot of courage and ability to climb from the 11th floor to the upper floor. Using the same method, it can also disappear from Zhong Xintong's room.

But is it really as I reasoned?I think the evil spirit must have used a more sophisticated technique.Unknowingly, my eyes fell on Xia Zao'an again.

"You want to peek at my breasts? Pervert! My farmer punches you three times!" She noticed my gaze, folded her hands on her chest, and cursed angrily.

I felt like crying: "Oh no! Put away your Farmer's Three Punches!"

"How dare you say otherwise? I clearly saw your eyes staring at my chest!"

"No! I didn't watch it! I swear it's not okay!"

"Well, if you read it just now, you were drowned by drinking boiling water! You were choked to death by eating tofu! You were poisoned to death by melamine by drinking powdered milk!"

Really poisonous.

"Okay." I could only squeeze out a wry smile, but I was crying in my heart. I actually subconsciously looked at the position of her heart just now.

When will that personality wake up?If it is "he", he must be able to solve this difficult mystery.

Using the key given by the counter lady, we entered the suite where Zhong Xintong often lives.

The windows of the spacious room were wide open, allowing the cool breeze to flow in unscrupulously. In the room of more than 100 square meters, there are all kinds of TV sets, the beds are a bit messy, and the cups on the coffee table are not put away.After the commotion last night, it seems that this room has not been tidied up yet.

With little chance of finding a clue, we walked around the room.I think Mijay's team must have searched the room in detail last night.

"I'll go to the toilet first." Xia Zao'an immediately ran into the small room over there and closed the door.

Li Xiaochong and I went to the window to have a look.I saw my elder brother run to this window last night on TV. He must also think that the evil spirit escaped from here.

The question is, how did the evil spirit escape?

After I poked my head out of the window, I found that my previous reasoning was difficult to establish.The exterior walls of the building are very smooth, the windows between each floor are three to four meters apart, and there are no drainage pipes or other objects to attach to. Without rope tools, it is almost impossible to climb down with bare hands.For the same reason, it is impossible for him to climb from the 11th floor to the 12th floor with his bare hands.

In this way, the mystery is more difficult to solve.

"It's really luxurious here!" Li Xiaochong sighed as it was rare to come in once.He sat down on the sofa, and just put his feet on the coffee table, he didn't expect someone to rush in with a cart, which startled him, and Erlang quickly put his legs down.

An aunt in white work clothes came in and stared at us in astonishment: "What do you do?"

"Police, police." Li Xiaochong couldn't wait to take out his police card.

"Oh." The aunt who did the cleaning work went to the bed to make the bed without asking any further questions.

I was about to ask her a few questions when I suddenly heard a "plop" in the toilet.

what happened?Li Xiaochong and I looked at each other, wondering if something happened to Xia Zaoan?Listening to the sound, it seemed that she had bumped into something inside.

After a few seconds of silence, I finally decided to go over and ask what happened.

I was about to rush in when the door opened.Xia ZaoAnn appeared in front of me, and I was taken aback because she had that falcon's alert look on her face again.

"He" woke up!

"I have a terrible headache." Xia Zao'an said while touching her forehead.

It turned out that she accidentally slipped and fell in the toilet, hit the door and passed out.Now I have a big bump on my forehead.

She walked into the living room: "Is this the room where Zhong Xintong lives?"

Needless to say, she seems to be more or less aware of the development of the matter, that is to say, what Xia Zaoan experienced before, this personality also has the same experience.But she herself didn't know the existence of this personality.

The cleaning lady grabbed the pillow and looked at us again in bewilderment.Xia Zao'an checked the window for a while before coming over.

"Auntie, do you often clean this floor?"

"Yes."

"So, this room is also cleaned frequently?"

"Exactly."

"There are many chances to meet the big star Zhong Xintong, right?"

"That's not true. We only clean after the guests leave."

"Oh." There was a hint of disappointment in Xia Zao'an's tone, but he soon cheered up again, "Auntie, did you find anything weird when you cleaned this room?"

"Strange?" the aunt repeated the word.Her appearance is not impressive, her face is a bit too wide, and a pair of shrewd eyeballs are rolling quickly in the sunken eye sockets, "Speaking of weird things..." She was a little thoughtful, and quickly continued, "I don't know if this counts. Odd. Almost every time I clean this room I find cigarette butts in the ashtrays, and there are sometimes things like that in the trash cans...”

When talking about that kind of thing, the aunt seemed a little embarrassed to say it, and a blush appeared on her sallow face.

"What is that thing?"

"It's something grown-ups often use..." Perhaps considering Xia Zao'an's status as a high school student, the aunt hesitated.

But Xia Zaoan immediately guessed: "You mean condoms?"
