Seeing everyone's solemn and confused expressions, the uncle was stunned and said, "What?"
"What happened...around here?" Xia Hua asked.
"this……"
The uncle was hesitant, but Xia Hua instantly understood his thoughts and added, "We will move in no matter what. Can you please tell me, what happened nearby?"
"Just...you guys are from out of town, right?" The uncle lowered his voice and pointed behind him with his elbow, "Do you know that big house in the back?"
Everyone's eyes followed his movements and looked toward the back window.
Through the back window of the hotel lobby, you can just see the tall and solid wall of Qiqiao.
Everyone nodded, "I know."
"Isn't there a big family living in that house?" The uncle looked mysterious, as if he was telling some horror story. "Not long ago, everyone in that house died suddenly!"
Violent death!
After the uncle finished speaking, he nodded to the shocked people, and then said uneasily, "You have agreed to live here, don't worry, my store is very clean, absolutely
There's nothing... messy."
"Violent... violent death?" Miaozhen stuttered, "Are all the people living there dead?"
"Yes," the uncle nodded vigorously, "the police asked those of us who live nearby to identify the body. I have seen many of the people inside, and I have also talked to several of them. I didn't expect that now it would become
It looks like this, ugh... How about I check you all in first?"
The uncle did not forget about business and looked at them with a smile. They handed over their ID cards and paid the money, and the uncle could finally talk to them with confidence.
"You didn't see it," the uncle smacked his lips with regret, "there are so many people, at least more than a hundred people, all dead. When I went to identify the bodies, the bodies were starting to rot.
I almost vomited it out...it was so miserable..."
"How did those people die?" Li Muyuan asked.
"Who knows," the uncle held the key and led them to the stairs. "No one knows when the accident happened to those people. I just know that those people died miserably and their bodies were covered in blood. But
We guess, how could so many people die so quietly? Something strange must have happened, maybe... something dirty is causing trouble... But don't worry, we don't have any in our store
Dirty thing, I have been a vegetarian for more than ten years, but I am very religious."
Xiaolan glanced at her uncle's beer belly and wondered how he could have such a belly just by being a vegetarian.
"How did the police discover that everyone in the house was dead?" Luo Jiutian asked, "Did anyone call the police?"
"Of course we called the police," the uncle patted his chest, the keys in his hand clattering, "It's just a few of our nearby businesses."
"How do you know that someone is dead?" the Taoist priest asked.
"We didn't know that someone was dead," the uncle waved his hands hurriedly, "We smelled the stench. The stench has been floating around here for several days, affecting our business. We are all ordinary people, and no one has
After smelling the corpse odor, the restaurant owner next door said that the smell was a bit like the smell of spoiled pork in his house. We also thought that the people in the house raised pigs. No matter how we put it, it was...
Has it affected our business? As soon as we got together, we called the police, and the police arrived, which was great...it was too scary."
There was no trace of fear on the uncle's expression.
"So the stench floating in the air is corpse stench." Baomu murmured.
After saying that, he felt a little disgusted again.
"Hey, hey, there's no smell now," the uncle said hurriedly. "It's been two months since that happened, and the smell has long since dissipated. But when the body was first discovered, it was true that I couldn't stay around here.
.”
"Where are those corpses stored now?" Xia Hua asked.
"The corpse? It must have been burned long ago," the uncle waved his hand. "The bridge is not as small as the city. Our small police station has never seen such a scene. The morgues of all hospitals cannot accommodate the corpse. I remember that it was announced to the whole city at that time.
I came here and asked if there were any acquaintances who could pick up the body, but I heard that no one came, so there was no other way, and the bodies were all cremated after a week."
"Has everything been burned?" Xia Hua asked.
"This...how do I know this?" The uncle noticed something was wrong and looked at them suspiciously, "Why are you so interested in what's going on in the house? Could it be that you are acquaintances of them?"
Everyone looked at each other for a few times and said, "Let's... that's it."
"Hey," the uncle shrank his neck, "This is serious, are you related?"
"Not relatives," Xia Hua smiled, "just acquaintances, but this time we are indeed here to visit them."
"Then you haven't even heard about this family annihilation."
"Not really," Xia Hua pressed her chest gently with her hand, pretending to be frightened, "To be honest, brother, we were shocked when we heard your news."
As soon as the uncle heard Xia Hua's sweet "big brother", the doubt in his eyes disappeared immediately. It seemed that Xia Hua's method of exuding charm was still very effective.
"That's right. If you were really related to them, the police would have found out a long time ago." The uncle said.
The uncle opened the door to a room. The facilities in the room were pretty good, but the appearance of the room was the same as the front desk, covered in dust.
"Uncle, don't you have any clue about the time when the murder occurred?" Xiaolan asked.
"The police also asked me this question," the uncle thought for a while before whispering, "I said at the time that I didn't find anything, but ha, then I suddenly remembered something..."
Everyone was looking forward to the uncle's next speech. At this time, the uncle's cell phone rang at an inappropriate time.
"Excuse me, everyone, I have to answer the phone... Hey, wife, what's going on? I'm here to receive guests..."
The uncle walked aside to answer the phone, but they stood there looking at each other, not knowing how to react.
"Jiutian," Lao Luo started, "ask Xia Hua and Miaozhen, have you not received any news about this matter?"
Xia Hua and Miaozhen shook their heads together.
"There is no news," Xia Hua frowned, "In the past two months, most of the association's attention has been focused on He Yi, the head of Jiu Tan."
"Two months ago, the average temperature here should have been above 20 degrees Celsius," Li Muyuan analyzed. "If the smell of corpses appeared, then the date of Qiqiao's death was probably one to two days before the corpse was found."
"We'd better get a detailed autopsy report..."
As soon as Xia Hua finished speaking, the uncle came back. Everyone hurriedly shut their mouths and waited for the uncle to finish the remaining half of his sentence.
