Chapter 198 The Corpse in the Water Tank
With strong worries, Jing Chu sent Yang Mianmian to the plane, and then went home to pack her luggage, leaving for Washington at five o'clock tomorrow morning.

As soon as Yang Mianmian separated from him, he turned from a little sheep into a big bad wolf, sitting on the plane and looking out the window expressionlessly with his chin resting on his face.

Si Xiaowen thought for a long time before deciding to go to Los Angeles again, but she backed off after getting on the plane: "You said, is it right for me to do this?"

"Yes." Yang Mianmian nodded, unequivocally, "Even if it was a waste of time and money, it would be a waste of time and money, but if not, it would save her life."

Her words made Si Xiaowen calm down, but after less than 10 minutes of silence, she couldn't help but say, "Well, what if she already..."

"Find the murderer and avenge her." Yang Mianmian opened the book and scanned the ten lines at a glance, and was able to talk to Si Xiaowen distractedly.

Si Xiaowen felt uncomfortable: "I hope she's okay."

"We all hope that."

The plane flew over the United States for four or five hours, and landed at the airport in Los Angeles. The hotel Si Xiaowen booked was the Cecil Hotel where she and Hu Lan stayed before.

When Yang Mianmian heard the name, her eyelids twitched: "I seem to have heard it somewhere..."

Yang Xiaoyang pulled out the truth from the countless materials she had read: "Isn't this the Black Dahlia hotel..."

Yang Mianmian immediately got up and got goosebumps: "Hey, hey, serial murderers are better than supernatural incidents. I'm most afraid of this kind of thing. The subway incident almost scared me to death last time 〒▽〒 wouldn't be that The bad luck is 1408, right?"

Feeling uneasy, Yang Mianmian and Si Xiaowen arrived at the hotel. This is a mid-range hotel in Los Angeles with a long history, but the service and facilities are not bad.

Yang Mianmian took a shower and changed into her pajamas, then looked at Si Xiaowen, who was in a daze when she came in, and couldn't hold back: "Those who know know that you are looking for friends, those who don't know think you have seen a ghost, how old are you?" Hurry up and tidy yourself up, with me here, this matter will definitely be fine!"

If it was in the past, Si Xiaowen would have quarreled with her after hearing this, but today she just went to the bathroom to take a shower in silence.

Taking advantage of her time to take a bath, Yang Mianmian has already greeted the friends around her with a smile: "Hello, we are looking for a girl named Hu Lan. The girl who lives with me came with me, did you see her?"

She thought that everyone would definitely say that she didn't know, but who would have thought that the TV hesitated for a long time, and asked in a low voice, "Is it a girl with black hair and yellow skin like you?"

"You know?" Yang Mianmian suddenly had a bad premonition. You must know that these items usually see too many people, and generally don't have any impression of passer-by A, but if they are particularly impressed by something, That means things are big.

The TV said anxiously: "I just heard that there seems to be a girl who died. She was of yellow race. I don't know much about the others..."

Yang Mianmian felt her heart sinking continuously.

Fortunately, Si Xiaowen came out at this time, she was wiping her hair with a towel, her face was flushed from the heat, and she looked much more energetic: "Hu Lan's cell phone was out of battery that day, so I lent my phone to her boyfriend I think he is the most suspicious person, and I want to ask him first tomorrow."

Her thinking is normal. Whenever there is a victim, the closest person around her is the most suspicious object, especially the relationship between men and women is the most important thing.

But Yang Mianmian understood that this matter probably had nothing to do with Hu Lan's boyfriend. If Hu Lan died, the body must still be in the hotel, otherwise they couldn't know so clearly.

So, the first thing to do tomorrow is to get rid of Si Xiaowen and find the body.This was Yang Mianmian's last thought before going to sleep.

The next day, Si Xiaowen went to ask Hu Lan's boyfriend Xing Shi for a crime, but Yang Mianmian stayed behind on the pretext of inquiring nearby. While she was having breakfast in the restaurant of the hotel, she heard a The woman was babbling to her companions about the "strange smell in the water".

At that time, Yang Mianmian just went in one ear and out the other, and didn't worry about it at all.But after she found the body, these words came out inexplicably. Although she didn't feel anything unusual when she washed her face and brushed her teeth, she still retched while hugging the toilet.

There is no other reason.

Hu Lan's body was in the water tank on the roof.

After Yang Mianmian got the exact news, she squatted in the toilet silently for a long time, and then called the lobby manager to report that the water had a strange smell.

Although she really didn't taste it herself, she expressed that she really felt weird and asked the other party to check the water tank.

The manager had no choice but to let the maintenance worker go up to check the water tank under Yang Mianmian's righteous words. When the maintenance worker climbed up to the water tank and looked down... the uncle fell down.

Faced with the howling wind, Yang Mianmian pushed the uncle away and climbed up the ladder to look into the water tank.

A pale, swollen face appeared in front of her like this, and because of being soaked for many days, it was already too horrible to look at.Thinking that she might have used the water soaked in the corpse to wash her face, brush her teeth, bathe and hair, Yang Mianmian couldn't help but climbed down the ladder and vomited.

Of course, the next step was to call the police. When Si Xiaowen returned without success, her good friend's body had already been found. She wanted to rush over to have a look, but Yang Mianmian firmly held her back: "Don't go, don't go!" Go, I vomited, even I vomited!"

But Si Xiaowen was not a character who would give up easily, she finally took a look at Hu Lan, the face of the unrecognizable corpse could hardly reveal the original appearance of that delicate girl, the facial features were all crowded together, it was very scary.

Si Xiaowen was stunned. What Yang Mianmian saw was a corpse, but what she saw was her good friend, and it was very likely that her good friend died tragically because of her negligence.

"Don't think too much." Yang Mianmian has experienced many things, and she can more or less see Si Xiaowen's state of mind. She patted her on the shoulder, "It has nothing to do with you. The police will definitely come to find you soon." You make the record, will you go by yourself or should I accompany you?"

Si Xiaowen woke up like a dream: "I'll go by myself."

"That's the best." Taking advantage of this opportunity, Yang Mianmian could look for clues to the suspect by himself.

At the same time, this incident has caused an uproar in the country. The reason is very simple. Before that, Si Xiaowen sent a message asking for help on Weibo, telling what happened to her, and asking everyone what to do.

Si Xiaowen didn't have a lot of fans, and only relatives and friends responded to her concerns, but she was restless on the way to the police station. When she clicked on Weibo and saw so many people asking about Hu Lan's whereabouts, she didn't Resisting the sadness, I sent a message: "Thank you for your relationship, the body has been found, I will go to the police station to make a record, and hope to find the murderer as soon as possible."

The news of the murder of a female foreign student in the United States soon appeared on the Weibo of major media, but this was not an explosive news point, and only a few people paid attention to this content.

Until the subsequent things are exposed one after another.

The first to be picked up was the Cecil Hotel, where the famous Black Dahlia incident took place, and then the surveillance video of Hu Lan before her disappearance was exposed, showing her dancing in the elevator, as if she was trying to resist something, It also seems to have encountered some supernatural event. In short, as soon as this video was released, the majority of netizens immediately diverged their thinking and gave countless explanations.

But to say that it was Yang Mianmian's "disappearance" that really pushed the matter of Hu Lan's murder to the peak. After Si Xiaowen returned from the police station, she found that Yang Mianmian was missing, and she couldn't get through the phone, and she also disappeared. In a hurry, Liushen Wuzhu posted another Weibo:
Yang Mianmian is gone, I can't get through to her cell phone, should I call the police now?

Yang Mianmian's popularity is not small, and anyone who is interested will find that they are indeed high school classmates, and now they are studying together in the United States.

Could Yang Mianmian be the next Hu Lan?Is that a serial murder?The majority of netizens were suddenly shocked, and things got out of hand.

So, what happened to Yang Mianmian? Was he really controlled by the murderer?Things have to start from the beginning.

At that time, Si Xiaowen went to the police station to take notes. She was the last person to see Hu Lan. Her testimony was very important to the police, so Yang Mianmian didn't have to worry about her coming back for a while.

At this time, everyone's attention was on the water tank. Not everyone was touched by the death of a strange girl. They were more concerned about whether the water used before was clean or not!

The person in charge of the hotel was devastated, while Yang Mianmian was fishing in troubled waters, trying to find out the truth about Hu Lan's murder that day.

The first target she aimed at was naturally the elevator, but there were too many people coming and going in the elevator, and she looked like an idiot standing there by herself.

Therefore, she can only do the next best thing, and go to places where no one cares about to find clues, for example, safe passages.

Generally speaking, if there is no emergency such as a fire or an earthquake, the stairs have always been neglected, but this does not mean that they are uninformed.

On the contrary, the stairs lead from the ground floor to the top floor, there is not much gossip, and it is too risky for the person who killed Hu Lan to choose a monitored elevator. On the contrary, how safe is the staircase that no one has paid attention to!

And the stairs lived up to her expectations.

"You mean the girl who was killed?" Stairway whispered to other friends for a while, his voice was a little uncertain, "Are you trying to find the person who killed her?"

Yang Mianmian was overjoyed: "Yes, yes, do you recognize it?"

"I don't know, there are too many people coming and going in the hotel every day."

Before Yang Mianmian could be disappointed, he heard the stairs add: "I suggest you ask others, you must know that this hotel has more than 600 rooms, some people live here all year round, they can move, we can't , especially when I’m always in such a remote place, although I know some news, I don’t recognize anyone.”
