I have delusions, and you want me to participate in a ghost story?

After looking at this photo and the text on it, the truth about the Chase Hotel became a little clearer.

Li Dashui cheated on Xie Jiaojiao's elementary school teacher and was discovered by Pei Datong. After Pei Datong sent the photos to Liu Ruyan, Liu Ruyan felt that her worldview had collapsed, so she went to Li Dashui to argue.

But once this layer of window paper was broken, the family that seemed harmonious on the surface suddenly fell into chaos.

Li Dashui accused Liu Ruyan of being unable to give birth to a child, and suspected that Xie Jiaojiao was the son of Liu Ruyan and Pei Datong.

Liu Ruyan was an orphan and was adopted by Pei Datong's father. She and Pei Datong were like real siblings. She felt insulted by Li Dashui, so she poisoned Li Dashui to death.

According to the last paragraph of the text left by Liu Ruyan, even though Li Dashui treated her like this, she still had love for Li Dashui, and therefore took her anger out on Xie Jiaojiao.

She believed that it was Xie Jiaojiao's arrival that caused Li Dashui to stop loving her.

This woman is really...

"Can you show me the text on the back of this paper?"

At this time, Xie Jiaojiao asked.

If Xie Jiaojiao knew this information, she would definitely be very sad because her mental age is only twelve years old.

But in the world of ghost stories, it's not good to hide it from her.

She has a right to know the truth.

With this thought in mind, Zhou Xiaochuan handed the photo to Xie Jiaojiao.

But surprisingly, after reading the words on the paper, Xie Jiaojiao did not feel sad, but her eyes revealed excitement.

"Great! This brings us one step closer to the truth about the Chase Hotel! So, was my soul-leaving syndrome caused by that guy Liu Ruyan?"

Listening to Xie Jiaojiao's words, Zhou Xiaochuan suddenly felt a little unnatural.

A normal child would feel unhappy to some extent after hearing this kind of information, but Xie Jiaojiao not only did not have such feelings, but was actually very excited?

And the reason she was excited was that the text behind the photo marked one step closer to finding the truth about the copy.

It seemed as if she didn't care at all about her adoptive parents' attitude towards her.

Zhou Xiaochuan looked at Xie Jiaojiao's excited and even shining eyes and said in a serious tone: "We can't draw a conclusion yet. What we know now is that Li Dashui did die at the hands of Liu Ruyan.

Moreover, the cause of death was a murder of passion, so Li Dashui does not have a clear conscience. Although Liu Ruyan also wanted to kill you, there is no direct evidence whether she did it in the end. In general, both Li Dashui and Pei Datong are possible. "

There is no need to say much about Liu Ruyan. Li Dashui suspected that Xie Jiaojiao was the child born from the affair between his wife and another man. Therefore, he hated Xie Jiaojiao very much and wanted to kill Xie Jiaojiao. This was completely understandable.

Pei Datong is Liu Ruyan's younger brother and the most mysterious person in this copy. He has the motive and ability to deal with Xie Jiaojiao.

Thank you Jiaojiao...

Zhou Xiaochuan frowned slightly as he looked at Xie Jiaojiao, who was staring at the photo with excitement.

Whether she is an innocent victim in this copy remains to be verified.

After all, whether from the Word document on the computer or from the rules, it can be seen that Xie Jiaojiao is a rather naughty little girl.

Moreover, among the rules of the Datong Hotel, there are two rules regarding Xie Jiaojiao.

[Rule 7: If the hotel owner asks a guest to take care of her daughter, please do not refuse her. She loves her daughter very much, although &*&*! @@#!

Rule 8: Please do not reject any request from the boss' daughter, and please do not make the boss' daughter unhappy. She is a fairy in the sky, the most beautiful being in the world, and you don't want to make her unhappy. 】

The owner of the hotel was Liu Ruyan. Before she could ask the guests to take care of her daughter, she was killed together with Jiang Liangjin.

Another rule is that you cannot refuse any request from the boss's daughter, and I have violated this rule a long time ago!

A day ago, Xie Jiaojiao knocked on the door as a waiter and asked if she needed rabbit meat or pork. Ashui Hotel would provide three meals a day.

At that time, he didn't know that the person outside the door was the hotel owner's daughter Xie Jiaojiao, so he refused on the grounds that he was a monk.

After that, he also tried to reject some of Xie Jiaojiao's small requests, such as sitting on his shoulders, which was like a little girl's coquettish request to her old father.

Nothing happened.

Perhaps this rule refers to the greatest and most powerful Xie Jiaojiao?

Zhou Xiaochuan was thinking while searching in the utility room.

However, there was nothing else useful in the utility room. All that was left were just some miscellaneous items.

It is worth mentioning that in this utility room, except for the important props such as Chinese medicine, poison and the photo mixed in the poison, which can provide key information of the copy, the other sundries are basically Xie Jiaojiao's belongings.

For example, Xie Jiaojiao’s clothes and toys, but none of the belongings and clothes of adult men and women appeared.

besides……

Zhou Xiaochuan held the still hot cigarette butt in his hand and fell into deep thought.

In addition to these things, there are three stepped on cigarette butts in the deepest corner of the utility room!
Unlike other dusty things in the utility room, these three cigarette butts, although they fell on the ground, did not have much dust on them.

And it feels a little hot when you pinch it!
These three cigarette butts were left behind just now!

My guess before entering the utility room was not wrong. Someone had indeed entered the utility room and then left it without anyone noticing.

These three cigarette butts were found after Xie Jiaojiao and I moved away all the dusty debris in the utility room. They were hidden very deep.

"Jiaojiao, do your adoptive father and mother smoke?"

Zhou Xiaochuan asked.

At present, there are only four possible identities of the person who entered the utility room.

Liu Ruyan, Li Dashui, Pei Datong, and the oldest one, Xie Jiaojiao.

Among them, Liu Ruyan has the lowest probability, and she is likely to have died together with Jiang Liangjin.

That leaves us with the final three suspects.

Xie Jiaojiao picked up the cigarette butt and took a deep puff. "I have lost my memory, but when I was chatting with Liu Ruyan before, I knew that she was allergic to the smell of cigarettes and felt uncomfortable when she smelled cigarettes, so smoking is prohibited in the hotel.

Although I have lost my memory, the smell of this cigarette makes me feel a palpitation engraved deep in my soul. It seems that I have smelled this cigarette at an important moment in my life. "

"Important moments? Can't we smell them all the time?"

Zhou Xiaochuan asked.

"No, I can still tell the difference. This feeling of palpitations is the first time I have experienced it because of an item. If I had smelled this smell frequently before, I wouldn't have had this feeling of palpitations."

After that, Xie Jiaojiao picked up a stuffed bear that was originally placed on the ground and said, "Like this bear, I know very clearly that this is something I had when I was a child. Although I have no memory of it, the familiar feeling is still there.

But the smell of cigarettes doesn’t give me that feeling, but a palpitation that’s almost like fear.”

Palpitations that are almost like fear?

Through Xie Jiaojiao's words, Zhou Xiaochuan preliminarily determined who the person who had just entered the utility room was.

Liu Ruyan is allergic to the smell of cigarettes. Xie Jiaojiao had smelled this smell at an important point in her life and was deeply impressed by it.

If this is the case, then Pei Datong is a huge suspect!
Isn't the feeling of palpitations and fear exactly what Xie Jiaojiao feels towards Pei Datong?
Apart from this, as an important figure in this strange story, there is very little information about Pei Datong!

Even in the photo on the computer, he only appeared as a shadow in the corner, and no one could tell what he looked like.

This copy is obviously called Datong Hotel, and it is named after him. He should be the most critical character in this copy.

Pei Datong...

"Jiaojiao, what impression do you have of Pei Datong? You said earlier that it has been two years since you started to remember. In the past two years, has anything related to him appeared in this hotel?"

Zhou Xiaochuan asked.

However, Xie Jiaojiao's answer made him somewhat disappointed.

"Although I have lost my memory, I still have a deep impression of him. Whenever I mention him, I feel a deep palpitation in my heart. But other than this palpitation, there is no other special impression."

Although it left a deep impression on her, in reality, all that was left was palpitations and fear?

This means that Xie Jiaojiao probably didn't have any in-depth contact with Pei Datong.

Xie Jiaojiao continued, "As for whether I have seen them in the past two years, the only people I have seen in the hotel in the past two years are my two sisters and Liu Ruyan!

The other guests were all expelled by Liu Ruyan on the third night of their stay. Even those who wanted to explore the secrets and truth of the hotel didn’t meet many.”

Zhou Xiaochuan understood that the two sisters she was talking about were the two remaining sisters after she was split into three after she suffered from the soul-separation syndrome. Of course, one of them had already merged with her.

The only permanent residents of the hotel are the three sisters and Liu Ruyan.

Not to mention Pei Datong, even Li Dashui has never appeared!

However, Xie Jiaojiao's statement clearly shows that she does not regard the waiters as equals.

"Has the hotel had many guests in the past two years?"

Zhou Xiaochuan asked.

"Yes, a new group will be replaced every three or four days. For example, at 8 o'clock the night before you arrived, four of the original residents were expelled to make room for you the day after.

However, although there have been residents for almost the entire two years, your group is the most special among all the residents.”

As Xie Jiaojiao was talking, she hugged Zhou Xiaochuan's arm and said, "So, I noticed you from the beginning. I acted as a waiter on the first night and knocked on the door of your room, mom and dad."

"Special, what do you mean by special?"

"You are the only group of guests who can take the initiative to explore the truth of this hotel. Moreover, you are the smallest group of guests."

Xie Jiaojiao pointed at Zhou Xiaochuan and said, "I saw it when you came in. Among the first seven people who came in, except for my mother, the others were all pretending to be waiters!
This kind of thing of waiters pretending to be guests has never happened before, and it seems that they didn't know that they were waiters pretending to be guests at that time.

This also gave me the opportunity to take advantage of this opportunity and use their dual identities as waiters and guests to get rid of the waiter who had been monitoring me."

"Originally, I thought this time the guest was so outrageous, with only one person. In the past, there were at least six people in a group. But then, Daddy, you came by bus. By the way, this is the first time I've seen a bus."

That was what happened when Zhou Xiaochuan just entered this copy. Zhou Xiaochuan was suspected by everyone because of the unique way of his appearance.

Because others just pushed the door open and entered, but I took the bus to enter the hotel, which was not normal.

Only now did I realize that my own appearance was the only normal one, while everyone else’s was weird!
After Xie Jiaojiao finished speaking, Zhou Xiaochuan exchanged some information with her about the hotel, but in the end he didn't get any useful information.

Xie Jiaojiao herself had no idea how to help Zhou Xiaochuan survive his exile at 8 o'clock tomorrow night.

She has provided Zhou Xiaochuan with almost all the information she knew.

However, rather than saying that there was nothing that could be done, Xie Jiaojiao actually provided Zhou Xiaochuan with a method.

"Dad, I actually have a way to allow you to stay in the hotel for four full days without being exiled."

However, the method she proposed seemed extremely unreliable, and could even be considered a prank. It could not be considered a method at all!

"I was thinking that my sister, mother, and I can all live in the Chase Hotel forever, but the other guests can't. They will be kicked out at eight o'clock on the third night."

"What is the reason that makes us different from you residents?"

Just as Zhou Xiaochuan was about to answer one of his guesses, Xie Jiaojiao covered his mouth and prevented him from speaking.

"The reason is very simple, that is, we are weird and you are human! In other words, as long as Dad can turn himself into a weird, he can survive in the hotel for four days!"

After saying this method, Xie Jiaojiao had a sly smile on her face and kept staring at Zhou Xiaochuan, as if she wanted to get praise.

However, this is complete nonsense!
Just as Zhou Xiaochuan was about to hit Xie Jiaojiao on the forehead with his finger, he heard the message alert sound of his cell phone.

The message on the phone said that the sender was Xie Jiaojiao.

The message reads: [Please go to the first floor immediately.] (End of this chapter)
