Baxian Hotel

When the three of us walked out of the ancestral hall, the sky was still dark, but the people of Sophora Tree Town had already walked out of their houses and stood on the street, staring blankly at the blazing flames that soared to the sky. No one paid any attention to us, and no one moved. The fire had already explained everything.

The legend of the Scholartree Manor was shattered by that thunderous roar.

It's already been more than ten hours since I returned to Baxian Hotel. I threw down the car and rushed into my bedroom. I drove from dawn to dusk.

After sleeping for less than two hours, I woke up to the sound of my phone ringing. I didn't even look at it as I put it to my ear. "Who is it?"

The other end of the line paused for a few seconds, and before I hung up, a trembling voice sounded out, "Is that Brother Xia? I am Xin Xia. "

Xin Xia? She was the younger sister of my classmate in high school, and since she was young, she liked to be a little tail with her brother. However, ever since our graduation, we haven't been in much contact with her, and this classmate's younger sister has only occasionally attended gatherings or school days and only met her a few times. However, he was still an acquaintance, so he had to be polite. "Oh?" It's you. I fell asleep just now and I'm sorry for my temper. "

The voice on the other side was still weak, "It's alright, Brother Xia. Are you comfortable now? I have something I want to trouble you with. "That, can I go find you?"

I looked up at my watch. It was almost eleven o'clock, but since the girl had said so, it must be something important. My address is

After hanging up, I walked out of the room to wash up. Then, I turned around and sat at the counter, bored out of my mind. I played with my phone while waiting for Xin Xia.

Gouer coincidentally walked out at this time: "Fourth Boss, why aren't you resting when you've just returned?"

"Oh, my classmate's sister said she was looking for me. I'll wait for her for a while. " Never would I have thought that my casual comment would cause Gouer to explode. The woman put her hand on her waist, stood in front of the counter, and started shouting, "Incredible!" Fourth Boss's girlfriend is coming! Who was there? Our Fourth Boss's Iron Tree has blossomed! I brought a girlfriend! "

I was dumbfounded. What the heck, didn't I say that this was my classmate's sister?

When Xin Xia appeared in front of me an hour later, the scenery was basically like this: I was forced to sit at a small table in front of the counter, and there was a whole row of people sitting behind the counter: Gouer, Hun'er, Mao Babao, Bao Mu, Brother Tao the chef, and even the drowsy Hamborg. I could even catch a glimpse of Miss Kong in the distance hugging a cat.

Xin Xia did not change her appearance, she was tall and skinny, with a pair of round, small glasses on her face, making him look even smaller and cuter. However, her slightly messy hair and the tight bundle in front of her made me feel that she really had something to talk to me about.

I motioned for her to sit down, then waved at the counter. If you have something to say, just say it. "

Xin Xia bashfully nodded her head towards the "random people" as a form of greeting, and then timidly said to me, "Brother Xia, my brother said that you can solve some of those things here. And I was really scared, so I came to you so late. "

I nodded. "Just say it, you don't have to be afraid here. Brother Xia will help you carry everything. "

"Men!" Gouer's voice

"Open!" Soulchild's Consonance

"Not a job!" This northeastern accent sounded like it belonged to Bao Mu.

"Do you guys think that Fourth Boss has a ring in his pocket?" Hamborg's brain would never be in the same rhythm as everyone else.

I couldn't stand it any longer, so I picked up the teapot and threw it over. The group of people hurriedly lowered their heads, but they didn't stop their mouths.

Mao Babao muttered, "Actually, I also know how to make baby protection soup."

"Bah!" This name was definitely Brother Tao the cook.

Xin Xia worked as a general helper in a shopping mall. This shopping mall had both investors and managers, as well as the employees brought by the two sides, so it was inevitable that the politics of the office would be a bit more complicated. However, Xin Xia was a simple-minded girl, she felt that she had done her job well and wouldn't need to get involved with those random things. However, this was often the case. The simpler the goal, the harder it was to achieve it.

Early the morning of the day before yesterday, Director Tian, the investor in charge of finance, was found dead in the toilet. She tied a buckle to the sprinkler pipe with her stockings and hung herself up. The moment the cleaning lady opened the door, she saw a female corpse dangling there. She nearly had a heart attack. She threw down the tools in her hands and ran out. With the help of the security guard, she called the police.

When the police arrived, the security guards had already sealed off the place, but when it was peak hour, all the shop assistants on the various floors were informed of the news. Although the police finally decided to commit suicide, there were still people discussing the conspiracy theories in a low voice.

Xin Xia had interacted quite a bit with the Director Tian, so she had always felt that this big sister had a cold face, warm heart, and was very responsible. She did not believe in the versions that were passed down, but she also did not believe that this Director Tian had committed suicide.

"Why don't you believe she committed suicide? Didn't the police already investigate the scene? " I asked her curiously.

Xin Xia nodded her head, "The police have investigated the scene and found the will. But I don't think it's that simple. Director Tian was normally in charge of financial audits, and would definitely offend many people. And since her death, I feel that everyone who has had conflicts with her has been preoccupied. "

"You think there's a problem just because she offended a lot of people and that those people were preoccupied with their matters?" I lit a cigarette and calmly asked her, "Being in charge of finance would inevitably offend people, but it's only a matter of work. There aren't many people who would kill someone for a job conflict. Not to mention, they can even hide it from the police." Maybe it's just how you feel. You know, sometimes you can't just say things. "

Xin Xia tightened her grip on the small bag in her hand, hesitated for a moment, and said: "Since I was young, my body was weak, so I could see some unclean things. So to play with you boys is to feel safe. It's the same at the company this time, I haven't seen those things for a long time, but a few days before the incident in Director Tian, I saw those dirty things again … That's why I've always been afraid that someone had used those things to kill Director Tian … That's why I called you and wanted you to help me. "

I looked at her in silence, and I could see from her slightly trembling shoulders that the girl was terrified. I handed her a glass of water. "Drink some hot water." If this is really the case, then you've come to the right place. "

For the first time, Xin Xia felt that something was amiss. Five days ago, she had worked overtime that night, and when she passed Director Tian's office after work, she had even went in to greet him. But just as she finished greeting and left the room, Xin Xia suddenly discovered that there was a face looking into the window of Director Tian's office. It was definitely not a human face. His eyeballs were bulging as if they were about to fall out. Her nose was only left with two black holes. Her mouth was wide open, revealing a blood-red tongue and sharp teeth.

She was so frightened that when she dared to look again, the face in the window was gone. At that time, Xin Xia thought that it was just an illusion and bid farewell to the Director Tian.

As she was riding on the electric car and leaving, she inadvertently turned her head and saw a shadow lying outside the window of Director Tian's office. It was the fifth floor!

The entire second day, Xin Xia was still in a dilemma as to whether she should tell Director Tian or not. She was afraid that it was her misconception, but she was also afraid that someone might harm Director Tian. Just as she was about to get off work, she finally mustered up her courage and was about to knock on Director Tian's door. However, she found out that the management's finance manager, Yang Guankai, was arguing with Director Tian.

The two of them would frequently bang the table and shout at each other about the accounts and expense sharing. Everyone had already gotten used to it, Xin Xia did not like to interfere in this matter, so after apologizing, they left. The moment she closed the door, she saw a middle-aged woman sitting on the small sofa in Director Tian's room. Xin Xia swore to me, that she definitely wasn't a living person's face or expression!

Xin Xia was so frightened that her hairs stood up. She pushed open the door once again, but there was nothing on the sofa this time. Director Tian and Yang Guankai stopped and looked at the abnormal Xin Xia. Xin Xia bid farewell in a flurry, and then left the company as if she was escaping for her life. At that moment, she was absolutely terrified. She would never forget the look in that middle-aged woman's eyes. It was a gaze filled with indescribable malice and hatred.

In the next two days, Xin Xia did not see anything strange or dirty anymore, and the busy work slowly calmed her fear. She started to suspect if she was just being too busy or being too fragile, and was hallucinating. That night, Xin Xia worked overtime, all the way until around 9 PM. When she left, Director Tian was still working overtime. Everything looked so normal.

After Xin Xia bid farewell to Director Tian, she took the elevator to the underground parking lot to ride her electric car. Just as she unlocked the car and was about to go out, the elevator's uplink button suddenly lit up. Some old doors slowly opened and closed, then the numbers on the display popped up all the way to the fifth floor.

The moment she opened the door, Xin Xia saw clearly that there was no one at the entrance of the elevator! Once again, she was frightened. Without looking back, she rode out of the underground garage. Until the morning of the second day when Xin Xia went to work and found out that Director Tian committed suicide.

Xin Xia's mind was in a mess, she couldn't help but string together her experiences from the past few days. She went downstairs to the bathroom to wash her face and wake up. When the cold water hit her face, she felt much better. But when she raised her head to look in the mirror, she was shocked by the reflection of herself in the mirror. In the mirror, Xin Xia's face turned purple, her lips turned green, his eyes were filled with red blood veins, his eyes revealed a ruthless look, two lines of blood slowly flowed out from the corners of his eyes, this was clearly the middle-aged woman that she saw that night!
