Everyone's expressions changed immediately. Xiaolan turned her head and glanced at Wenling quietly. She was still as pale as before, her breath was weak, and she didn't have any special reaction.
The Taoist priest hurriedly asked, "What kind of people are they?"
"That group of people..." Aunt Huang recalled, frowning and motioning to the girl at the front desk, "Xiao Feng should still remember them, but... about a week ago, those people suddenly came over to stay overnight in the middle of the night.
"
Xiao Feng blinked, "Oh, so you're talking about them..."
Xiaolan hurriedly approached the counter and asked, "What do those people look like?"
Xiao Feng pulled out a thick booklet from under the counter and quickly rummaged through it. After a while, she nodded.
"When I checked in, there were only two of them. I remember they were two middle-aged people, both men. They checked in nine nights ago and left early the next morning, but they were not the only ones who left.
Well, that night the two of them took many people into the room one after another. When they left the next day, there must have been five or six people... I can't remember the details, but I was still surprised at the time.
Because those people don't look like poor people, but they didn't book more rooms..." Xiao Feng looked at Aunt Huang and said, "Auntie, it turns out they are the ones asking you for directions."
Aunt Huang nodded and said, "It was them. I was sweeping dust in the corridor when I was called over by a man to ask for directions. There seemed to be several people in their room at that time."
"What do they look like, sister..." Xiaolan was extremely anxious, "What do they all look like?"
"Appearance..." Xiao Feng showed a troubled expression, "I kind of forgot about it. It doesn't seem to be anything special, right, Auntie?"
Aunt Huang looked up at the chandelier and reminisced, "I remember the man who came to see me... he was about forty or fifty years old, maybe about the same age as me? He was gentle, smiling, and seemed quite polite...
Oh, yes, I took a peek into their room, and there was a girl inside."
Xiao Feng seemed to be more surprised than them, "Girls? Auntie, no girls came in that night."
"Maybe you didn't notice," Aunt Huang said firmly, "I didn't notice anyone else, but I remember a girl with long hair. She was sitting on the bed talking to other people..."
"What does she look like?" Xiaolan asked like a repeater.
Aunt Huang curled her lips and shook her head, "I just saw a figure from behind."
"That might be a boy," Baomu said. "There are also boys with long hair."
Xiao Feng first denied it, "No long-haired boys came in that night, they were all middle-aged men with short hair."
"Oh, I told you it must be a girl." Aunt Huang dropped the rag on her shoulder, and Xiaolan quickly picked it up for her. "That little girl's hair is so long, and her hairstyle is so well done.
Wearing a colorful skirt, that skirt looks like...just like the people in those cartoons that my girl watches all day long..."
Aunt Huang tried her best to make gestures with her hands. Xiaolan looked at her, and a vague outline gradually became clear in her memory.
"Auntie!" Xiaolan suddenly grabbed Aunt Huang's hand, "Is that girl short? She is thin and small, and she doesn't look very old?"
Aunt Huang was startled by Xiaolan and said in a daze, "Me too... I didn't look at her, but she seemed to be not tall, and she was probably not too old either. She was sitting there at that time.
On the bed, two legs were dangling back and forth. If you were tall, those legs would probably drag the floor..."
Aunt Huang's reasoning ability is 100%. After listening to her answer, Xiaolan became more convinced of the answer in her heart.
Qin Yin came forward and said, "By the way, I remember your Heipi told you that Xiaosong's home is in Luliang?"
Xiaolan took out Heipi from his pocket, who had been quiet for a long time. Regardless of the strange looks from Xiao Feng and Aunt Huang, he opened his mouth and called out, "Heipi... Heipi wake up..."
Black Pi made no movement or movement.
Xiao Lan shook her head vigorously, and seeing that Hei Pi was determined not to make any reaction, she raised her head and asked, "Sister Xiao Feng, is there a scar-eyed man in that group?"
"Scar eye?"
"Yes," Xiaolan gestured in front of her eyes, "right here, there is a horizontal scar, or scars elsewhere. Is there such a person?"
Xiao Feng shook his head hesitantly, "No, their faces are all normal."
Xiaolan felt a little relieved.
There is no definite bad guy, but there is an acquaintance of Komatsu, so maybe that group of people is not the enemy?
Everyone fell into a brief silence. The enthusiastic Aunt Huang and Xiao Feng looked at them and helped them recall what happened that night.
"Right..."
Hearing Xiao Feng's voice, everyone looked up, which made Xiao Feng feel a little embarrassed.
"I'm sorry, what I want to say is not about those people," Xiao Feng smiled slightly, "We pulled out yesterday's surveillance video. It is indeed a bit strange. Do you want to take a look?"
"Surveillance video?"
"Well," Xiao Feng said, "didn't you say that a child living nearby knocked on your door? I went to call the security department to adjust the surveillance and found... well, how should I put it, no one knocked on your door.
but……"
Xiao Feng tilted his head and seemed to be talking.
"What's wrong?"
"I actually don't know if I should say this," Xiao Feng lowered his voice, "I seem... I seem to have seen a mouse enter your room."
mouse!
"How is this possible?" Aunt Huang was the first to express her objection, "Where did the mice come from in our hotel?"
"That's right..." Xiao Feng waved his hand, "I was also surprised. Maybe I saw it wrong, but it does look a bit like a mouse."
"It's impossible, it's impossible. I've been studying here for several years and I've never seen a mouse..."
Xiao Feng was a little embarrassed, "I saved the video in my computer, do you want to see it?"
Of course you have to watch it.
Xiao Feng turned the computer screen at the front desk. Everyone, including Aunt Huang, craned their necks to look at it.
The video was played at eight times speed. Xiaolan saw Qin Yin, Wenling and herself. They checked in and closed the door. Xiaolan recalled what she was doing at that time according to the time in the upper right corner.
That’s almost it…
She became nervous.
"It's coming," Xiao Feng slowed down the playback speed and pointed to the lower right corner of the screen, "It's right here..."
Sure enough, a few seconds later, a small black-gray figure quickly moved along the wall towards the door of their room.
