Chapter 11 Lying, the consequences will be very serious
"What's the matter?" Lao Guan raised his voice and frowned.
But he quickly realized his emotions, suppressed his anger, and waved his hands at them, "Don't listen to the nonsense of people outside. If something happened, my inn would have been closed down long ago!"
Qu Ya bit her finger and did not continue to ask, but she looked unsure.
Cheng Zhan frowned, as if hiding a smile, with a calm expression, and then said without looking at the other person's face, "Yes, we haven't closed the business, but we have added cameras."
Lao Youwen staggered at the words, and stuttered when he spoke again, "I, I added a camera for the safety of my customers."
Cheng Zhan's eyes moved from the teapot to Lao Guan's face. Although he didn't say anything else, Lao Guan felt that there was an uncomfortable sharpness hidden in his light eyes.
It's like walking outside the world of mortals, yet able to see through the vicissitudes of the world.
Is this the look that a young man in his early twenties should have?
Lao Guan calmed down and felt ridiculous for a moment. Was he frightened by the look in the young man's eyes? Just kidding, he was an old man who had traveled extensively and had rich life experience.
Just face Cheng Zhan’s doubt——
"Yes, compared to other businesses, I have fewer cameras here, and the second one was added later, but I did it to cope with the inspection."
He gave a very convincing reason, "I do it for the sake of my customers. Everyone has privacy."
Qu Ya looked at Lao Guan with some doubts in her eyes. Seeing this, the unknown anger that Lao Guan had finally suppressed began to bubble out again.
Just make it clear——
"Speaking of cameras, we have all watched the surveillance videos. What were you two doing out in the middle of the night yesterday?"
This is what I should ask Si Ye and Cheng Zhan.
Regarding the surveillance video of the time when Fang Ting left the room, Lao Guan and others watched it twice. During the first time, Lao Guan saw the video data of Si Ye and Cheng Zhan leaving the room before and after, and he didn't think much about it at the time.
After all, I'm not a child anymore, so it's okay to go out for a walk in the middle of the night if I can't sleep.
But later, after Captain Xu saw it, he asked them both this question. Until now, when Lao Guan thought about Captain Xu’s instructions before leaving, the more he thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong.
Captain Xu has been in the police for many years and his eyes are poisonous. He will definitely be able to tell whoever is not telling the truth.
Qu Ya also raised her eyes and looked at Si Ye and Cheng Zhan. Although she didn't think the fact that these two people went out at night had anything to do with Fang Ting's disappearance, she was still somewhat sensitive at this point.
Seeing that Lao Guan had burned himself, Si Ye was not angry or annoyed, nor did he expose his purpose of changing the topic. He rubbed his thumb on his lips twice and spit out three words, "Let's play."
The same reply as the one given to Captain Xu.
Lao Guan's eyes fell on Cheng Zhan again.
Si Ye looked at Cheng Zhan's cold face and didn't know how he could answer. Captain Xu was asking the question alone at that time.
Cheng Zhan took a sip of tea. As expected, he was afraid of the cold. He held the teapot lightly with both hands, always in an orderly manner. But the answer he gave was Si Ye's copy and paste——
"Let's play."
Si Ye put his hand on his forehead and thought to himself, he is really lazy if he doesn't add a single word. No one in his right mind, let alone Captain Xu, would believe the answers given in unison.
As expected, Lao Guan became sensitive and asked, "Is there anything interesting in Shangri-La in the middle of the night?"
Captain Xu never asked this question. In fact, the police only asked that question.
So Si Ye didn't answer immediately and looked at Cheng Zhan with his face tilted, waiting for him to tell something.
Then, Cheng Zhan raised his eyes and looked at Lao Guan, and answered seriously... one word, "Yeah."
Lao Guan's eyes widened, maybe he didn't expect the other party to react like this, and for a moment he didn't know what to say.
Si Ye couldn't bear it. After all, something had happened, and it was normal for Lao Guan to lose his grace and dig deeper. In order to prevent Lao Guan from being so angry that he cursed, he took action to save the precarious situation.
"Brother Guan, you have also seen that Cheng Zhan and I left the house earlier than Fang Ting. How could we take her away? We are just ordinary students and have no special powers."
Lao Guan naturally understands the truth. Although Fang Ting's state in the surveillance is quite strange and scary, we really can't force this matter to fall on the two boys. It's not possible in terms of time, and in terms of ability... I guess it's not possible either.
.
But even so, Lao Guan still felt that Captain Xu's words were correct. These two people did not tell the truth. As for why they went out last night and where they went, I am afraid they won't be able to find out.
Seeing that Lao Guan was silent, Si Ye knew that this issue was a matter of course.
Unexpectedly, Cheng Zhan came back and asked, "Nothing happened to the inn before?"
Lao Guan's expression was very difficult to explain. He stared, his face was trembling slightly, and he gritted his teeth for a long time and said, "No!"
"good."
Cheng Zhan said a simple word. Perhaps he was tired, so he stood up and left. But when he went upstairs, he said another sentence calmly -
"Lying will have serious consequences."
…
Si Ye fell into a dream again.
In the desolate dream, he lazily clung to an old tree. The surroundings were dark and chaotic, but he felt surprisingly comfortable.
Surrounding him were some ghosts and monsters, glowing like silver ribbons, shadowy and indistinct. They dared not get close to him. They were the only light that illuminated the world in front of him.
Gradually the fog began to rise, and the shadow came again. It walked to the ancient tree with disheveled hair and looked up at him.
In the light of the demon, her blood-stained face was clearly visible, and her eyes were full of sorrow.
Si Ye looked at her condescendingly and said, "Let me ask you, is Qin Laosan dead?"
She seemed unable to express herself, so she kept crying, and then she reached out and pointed behind him.
He turned around and looked.
Behind him is a long bluestone road, and at the end of the road is Qin Laosan's fur shop.
The store door was half open, but it was lifeless. The Chinese lantern hanging on the door beam was on, and the light it gave off was actually blood red.
There seemed to be something in the lantern. Si Ye was too far away to see clearly, so he thought it must be a living thing swimming inside.
He turned his face and looked at the girl again. She cried harder, but what was flowing in her eyes was blood instead of tears.
Grumbling flowed out of his empty eyes, and the clothes on his body were stained red.
Si Ye didn't feel scared at all, so he came down from the tree and walked up to her, his tone more sympathetic. "I told you not to cry like this all the time. Look, the newly burned clothes for you have been stained by you again."
."
As soon as he finished speaking, the surrounding area began to shake violently, and everything around him fell to pieces. Those monsters floating in the air began to flee in all directions, as if they were about to encounter a disaster.
Looking at the girl in front of me, her bloody face was distorted and frightened. She covered her ears with her hands and opened her mouth desperately.
She obviously didn't make a sound, but Si Ye thought she was screaming.
