Xiaolan had an epiphany and looked at a small piece of wall in front of her, then at the wall near the edge of the table.
The colors of the two parts are different!
The boss was still cursing, so Xiaolan moved back slightly, trying hard to see the panoramic view of the wall in the small area under the table.
The color of the middle wall is obviously different from that of the surrounding circle. Although they are all white, the surrounding walls are obviously more yellow. The middle wall is set off very white, forming a neat square, white wall and yellow wall.
The boundaries are clear.
Xiaolan gently touched the walls on both sides with her fingers. There was not much difference, but the white wall in the middle was slightly sunken than the surrounding yellow walls.
Why does the wall under the laundry room table look like this?
Before Xiaolan had time to think, she heard a loud call coming from above her head.
"boss!"
It sounds like a little fool's voice.
"Boss! Are you here? Are you still charging me?"
The sound came from directly above Xiaolan. Xiaolan was shocked by the clarity of the sound. At the same time, she thought that if they were directly above her, she should not be far from the stairs.
There was another sound of pushing the chair, and the boss seemed to stand up and shouted angrily.
"Xiao Hui!... Qian Hui!..."
There was no response. This should be the name of the landlady. The landlady seemed to have left next door. The crying had disappeared long ago, but Xiaolan just discovered it.
Not finding his wife, the boss had no choice but to run out the door in a hurry. Xiaolan wanted to observe this special wall again, but knew that the opportunity was too late to miss. Even a little fool wouldn't be able to delay it for long. The urgent task now was still to escape.
After opening the curtain, the room was already empty. Xiaolan climbed out and saw that there was no danger, so she quickly moved to the door.
The sound of "dong dong dong" coming up the stairs was heard from around the corner, and at the same time, the boss's enthusiastic "Come on, come on" was heard.
Xiaolan quietly slipped out, looked around and found that no one was there, and looked in the direction where the sound came from just now.
After turning the corner, there were still no stairs. Xiaolan couldn't figure out why her basement was so complicated. She walked along this wall and turned another corner. The small stairs leading to the first floor finally appeared in front of her.
Xiaolan tiptoed, head and head, walking step by step, looking back from time to time to see if the landlady had suddenly appeared.
Now that she could see the situation in the restaurant on the first floor, Xiaolan leaned down and slowly raised her head. The dining table of her accomplices was too close to the stairs, and she was afraid that she would be caught accidentally.
Xiaolan saw the heads of everyone, and everyone stood up. First they saw the tallest Taoist priest and the little fool. They also caught a glimpse of Xiaolan from the corner of their eyes, but they looked completely calm.
The bald back of the boss's head also appeared. Xiaolan shrank subconsciously and found that the boss's back was completely turned to her. Then she quickly stuck out her whole head and looked around. There were no other customers except them.
It's now!
Xiaolan crawled out of the basement on hands and knees, stood on tiptoes, and quickly rushed to the unattended back door. Behind him was the little fool who said loudly, "Boss, why are you so cheap?" The back door was wide open, and Xiaolan got in like lightning.
He got out and ran away along the plank road.
The back door leads to the back mountain. Xiaolan ran to the end of the plank road in one breath before she remembered that she had to find a way to go back.
It was too suspicious to appear from the back door, so Xiaolan climbed down the plank road and decided to go around the mountain road back to the front door. On the way, she also pulled out a small bamboo shoot that was just in its infancy, preparing to use it as an excuse to go out and play for so long.
As they neared the door, Xiaolan smiled brightly at the sister at the front desk, who asked in surprise, "When did you go out?"
Xiaolan pretended to be surprised, calmly replied "just now", and happily walked towards the people who had not finished chatting, swinging bamboo shoots.
"Look, our little girl is back after going to the bathroom!"
Xiaoyin noticed her first, pointed at Xiaolan and said to the slightly suspicious boss.
It was too early to speak, and when several people noticed the bamboo shoots Xiaolan was carrying, they all felt a little embarrassed.
"Didn't you go to the toilet? Where did you get the bamboo shoots?"
The little fool asked knowingly and stared at Xiao Lan with a smile on his face.
The boss was also a little confused, but it was obvious that he breathed a sigh of relief.
"Hahaha, I asked them where you were. They said you went out to look for the toilet. I said the toilet was in the house. Why did you go out to look for it? They said you didn't like going to the toilet in the house... Little girl, you went to the toilet on the mountain. Haha.
Ha ha?"
Xiaolan looked at them resentfully.
Why are these people... so bad at my reputation!
"Oh, these bamboo shoots are so fresh!" Xiaoyin couldn't help but tremble with laughter. She looked at the boss with trembling lips, "The boss fried them for us at noon. We, Xiaolan, managed to pull them out. It's so memorable.
!”
The boss laughed out loud, took Xiaolan's bamboo shoots and looked at them.
"It's really good. Where did you get it, kid? Hahaha!"
I'm so angry, but I can't...
"In the back mountain." Xiaolan felt aggrieved and continued acting according to her script. "It took me a long time to find one."
"If you want to dig bamboo shoots, call us later." The Taoist priest came over and touched Xiaolan's head tenderly. "What should I do if I get lost while walking up the mountain? You don't need to use the toilet as an excuse. It's not like we won't play with you."
Xiaolan nodded, feeling all in her heart: "Oh, oh, oh, oh, I'm so wronged."
The boss seemed to be in a much better mood. He said, "Come over and eat bamboo shoots at noon." Then he grabbed Xiaolan's bamboo shoots and walked downstairs.
Everyone was silent for a moment, and the Taoist priest patted Xiaolan on the shoulder.
"Walk."
Xiaolan understood instantly and ran back to the hotel room with everyone. The grievance disappeared, and now she only had the task she had just performed in her mind.
——————————————————————
Xiaolan held a large glass of water and drank fiercely. After a long period of trembling waiting and sending messages non-stop, she felt that her whole body was about to evaporate.
Pineapple couldn't stand it anymore, so he sat next to Xiaolan and said, "Drink slowly, don't choke."
He nodded and continued drinking.
"The biggest question now is, who is the girl who was burned to death?" The Taoist priest's face became serious, and the corners of his mouth drooped when he was not smiling. "Could it be the two villagers who are the owners of the 'world' here?"
Whether her death is related to her is the focus of our investigation."
Xiaolan put down the water glass and prepared to throw out all the unfinished messages.
"There are a few more things," Xiaolan wiped her mouth. "While I was hiding under the table, the boss answered the phone. There was a man named Ma Ge on the other end of the phone who seemed to be asking the boss for money. The boss was very
He was very enthusiastic and attentive.”
"Xiaolan," the little fool put his hand on her shoulder sincerely, "let's not discuss other people's private matters. Life is already very difficult."
Xiaolan didn't quite understand, so she put it aside and prepared to tell everyone about her important discovery.
"There is a small space under the table where I am hiding, which can almost fit someone older than me. There is a curtain outside the table. I found that the wall next to the table is very strange..."
After that, Xiaolan used vivid language and body movements to explain the strangeness of that small piece of wall to everyone, which made everyone frown again.
"Isn't the difference in color very similar to the fact that two areas were painted at different times?" Maple Sugar woke up at some point, pondered for a while, and asked Xiang Xiaolan, "Is it that kind of thing where part of the paint was painted at the same time?"
New, part old feeling.”
ah!
Xiaolan opened her mouth and nodded quickly.
Maple Sugar broke through the feeling that was lingering in Xiaolan's heart, that clear line, that slight uneven feeling.
Combined with the weird dialogue between the boss and the boss’s wife.
Everyone's eyes were stunned.
The boss's family has a secret, and this hotel has a secret. This chapter has been completed!
