Chapter 452
An invitation is worse than a chance encounter. Ready-made foreign aid is right in front of you. No matter how stupid Guan Zhi is, he knows not to miss it.
After coming out of the police station, he went to the beach hotel with the two girls.
Although the room fee is expensive, he can afford it now. Including three meals a day, he also refused to let the two ladies treat him. He paid for it himself. Treats are fine, one or two meals doesn't matter, but he won't be willing to treat three meals a day.
He doesn’t know how to do things like slap someone in the face and pretend to be fat.
"It's safer for girls to stay in a hotel when going out," Guan Zhi looked around at the guests during dinner, "the hotel's management is more formal, and the quality of the guests is relatively high..."
Can't generalize, But the safety performance is indeed slightly higher than that of B&Bs and youth hostels.
"Xiaoya and her roommate also came here and stayed at a nearby youth hostel. Her parents said that they met several fellow travelers on the night they checked in..."
It is said that they will go on the same journey together, and they will go together with each other. There is strength in numbers, so the family should not worry.
The next day, Xiaoya’s circle of friends uploaded many photos of playing at the beach, including scenes of three meals a day. The updates in the circle of friends ended at dinner, and Xiaoya's parents said they had a good night video chat with her that night.
"Xiaoya went back to the youth hostel room and made the last video call with her parents. She said that her roommate would be back soon, so it was not convenient to talk on video for too long..."
Then she said she had to take a shower quickly to avoid being in bed. I'll fight with my roommates later. Her parents asked her to go quickly and then hung up the video. This move became the most painful thing for my parents for the rest of their lives, and they would burst into tears every time they mentioned it.
Had I known that this would be the last video call, I would not have urged the child that night. Maybe he would have been able to escape by letting the child continue the video call.
Because the youth hostel said that that night, Xiaoya and others went out again not long after they returned to the room. The front desk of the hotel asked them where they were going. They said they wanted to go shopping and maybe go to a bar in the city center.
The front desk was very worried after hearing this, but she was not qualified to restrict the guests' freedom of movement. She only asked which bar to go to.
The new travel companion who was traveling with Xiaoya mentioned the name of a relatively large and formal bar, so the front desk didn't ask any more questions. Just ask them to keep the drink in their hands when they get to the bar, and don't drink it once it's in their hands.
After all, all bars that can operate normally are regular, but the customers inside may not be regular.
Unfortunately, the guests had not returned until the evening of the next day, and no one answered the phone. The person in charge of the youth hostel was very worried. After discussing with several staff members, he finally decided to call the police.
It is normal for guests to go elsewhere for fun, even if they check out midway.
But now the room has not been checked out, and the mobile phone cannot be connected. Even if one of them couldn't get through, everyone who went out that night couldn't get through on their cell phones, which was a bit weird.
I was really worried and decided to call the police.
Xiaoya and others paid three days' rent, which has not yet expired. They came here for a trip, so they might have gone somewhere else while shopping last night.
But later the police went to check and found that they did not go to the large bar that the new traveler mentioned last night.
They didn't even go to the city center at all. They were seen boarding a yacht of unknown origin from the street cameras. Moreover, at that time, they were boarding the boat happily and did not notice anything wrong with the yacht.
It can be seen that they lied to the front desk that night, took a ride to the pier after going out, and had no intention of going to the city center.
Because of this, the relatives of the missing persons cannot complain that the youth hostel did not fulfill its duty to remind them. After all, it was their children who lied. We can only blame the youth hostel for not finding out the details of the guests and allowing their children to get acquainted with bad people.
Of course, such accusations are also unreasonable. How can their hotel be qualified to investigate the details of its guests? Since the guest has the certificate and the hotel has checked in according to normal procedures, all the obligations should be fulfilled.
After that, there is no after. Xiaoya, her roommate, and the new traveler who participated in the co-production did not come back, and they all became missing persons. Also missing was the yacht, whose origin could not be traced at all. It seemed to appear and disappear out of thin air.
Since participating in the investigation of this disappearance, Guan Zhi no longer feels that hotels are expensive or that staying in hotels when traveling is too luxurious.
Of course, he was referring to girls. He was so big and thick that it was not necessary to send her to someone else's door. So there is no need to stay in a hotel, he is very safe just lying on the street.
“Although the youth hostel is not responsible, seven people were directly missing, and the boss was also hit hard...”
The victim’s relatives once cried in the lobby of the hostel. Said the boss here colluded with bad guys and killed their children. Later, the police got clarification, but this kind of remarks still did not stop, and some people said that even if the boss was fine, there was no problem.
But after all, it was the hotel that provided the bad guys with the convenience of taking the pot away, so the blame cannot be evaded.
Some travelers who learned what happened even went online to write bad reviews for this youth hostel. Various scary comments successfully scared off netizens who were interested in booking rooms.
Less than two months after the incident, the youth hostel closed down.
Therefore, it was impossible for Sang Yue and the others to go there to understand the situation. Because the boss and his wife were also worried that they and their family would be targeted by bad guys, they sold their house and moved to other cities, never to come back again.
So, if the three of them want to know more clearly, they need to find those staff members.
The boss moved his family, and the staff who came to work from other places may not still stay here. Therefore, if you want to inquire, you must find a staff member whose native place is local.
But the boss was scared away. The reason why the workers did not run away was because they had no money, not because they were brave. It was not yet known whether they were willing to tell the truth.
But no matter what, I have come and I have to make a trip.
After dinner, the three of them returned to Sang Yue and Lan Qiuchen's double room, sitting around a small round table and looking at someone eagerly. And someone was staring at a group photo. After calming down, his eyes began to flicker.
This situation, this scene, "seems like we have seen each other before." Guan Zhi approached Lan Qiuchen doubtfully and whispered.
All it takes is a crystal ball.
Although the two of them were not what he remembered, Master said that those two girls were extraordinary. Since it is unusual, changing one's appearance to travel should not be a difficult operation.
"It's so similar!" Guan Zhi sighed again.
"Shut up." Lan Qiuchen glanced at him angrily and whispered, "Is it good for you to know too much?"
No, no.
Guan Zhi shook his head quickly, shut up quickly, and concentrated on waiting for the calculation results of this girl who was suspected of being an old friend. Sang Yue opened her eyes and slowly glanced at the group photo, almost seeing an image in the flash of lightning.
She saw that several people in the group photo were lying on a transparent wall with their hands in embarrassment, patting the transparent wall with desperate faces, crying:
"Help..."
Behind them was a dark, rotting blood, very deep and thick. Moreover, only six of the seven people in the group photo are here. Where is the other one?
But this is not important for the moment. What is important is, where are they trapped now?
Let her see.
