Chapter 4 The Mirror of the Wraith
When He Lingyu came back just now, he didn't see a new car coming in the inn. Mr. Xu appeared on the cliff at around 7 o'clock. It took more than an hour to get from the inn to the cliff. That is to say, he was already on the mountain around 6 o'clock this morning. Since he didn't drive, he wouldn't walk up the mountain in the middle of the night. Then he must have been on the mountain last night. He was ambushed near the inn in the morning. When he saw Ye Qiuhen walking out of the inn, he followed him.
After answering the last question, Spinach ran back to his room and lay down as if he was on a clockwork.
Today the boss’s wife went to the town, and he could lie down beautifully to Duke Zhou.
He Lingyu actually wanted to ask Spinach if Mr. Xu is a regular customer in the inn? It was his first time to come, or like Ye Qiuhen, he would come every autumn.
But spinach slipped faster than rabbits, so He Lingyu had to open the registration form on the computer. She saw Mr. Xu's name at a glance because there was only this new customer this morning.
Xu Yuanfang, 28 years old, has the address registered on his ID card in City N, Jiangsu Province, not far from City W where Ye Qiuhen is located.
Overall, for country hotels, the hardware of Shuimei Inn is still very complete. Each room is equipped with electric water heaters, tap water, toilet and sewer pipes. Last year, a regular customer at the inn, a leader who had just retired to the second line, called a leader in the town after taking his grandson and granddaughter for vacation. Not long after, the inn could access the Internet.
At this time, He Lingyu picked up his mobile phone and quickly searched for the name "Xu Yuanfang". There were hundreds of items about this name on the web page, but except for the protagonist of the group fight caused by racing, the other names, regardless of age or gender, were not as good as Xu Yuanfang.
There was only one news on the Internet about the racing incident, and it was a screenshot posted by netizens. Unfortunately, the screenshot only has text and no photos.
But the original text of this screenshot magically disappeared without a trace.
He Lingyu is certain that this was deleted by human factors.
The news happened in City W, Jiangsu. Two men drove motorcycles on the highway in the suburbs, and their speeds were over 100 miles. One of the men surnamed Wu suddenly lost control and rushed to the sidewalk. The car was destroyed and the people were killed. The man surnamed Wu was a member of an underground club. Before the incident, his friends who were with him in the underground club followed him and cheered for him.
After the incident, another person in charge of the incident, Xu Yuanfang, drove away. The friends of the man surnamed Wu drove around and then fought in a group, which was a group of people beat Xu Yuanfang. When the police arrived, one person was seriously injured, and five others were injured to varying degrees.
He Lingyu raised his eyebrows. Obviously, the injured were all friends of the man surnamed Wu, and Xu Yuanfang was not hurt at all.
A master who can fight and run away is very similar to the Xu Yuanfang I met today.
Moreover, this case happened in City W, which is the city where Ye Qiuhen is located.
He Lingyu hummed a song, threw the feather duster into the corner, picked up a rag and wiped the tables and chairs in the hall.
A crisp sound of bell sounded from his wrist. He Lingyu looked up and saw Ye Qiuhen walking down the stairs.
She was still wearing the black clothes she had in the morning, but without the black turban, her hair was very long and drooping to her waist like seaweed, which gave her originally dignified temperament a little more charming.
"Ms. Ye, are you going out?" He Lingyu asked enthusiastically with a sweet smile on his face.
Ye Qiuhen smiled politely at her and said, "The guests in Room 203 next door seemed to have forgotten to close the faucet when they went out. I heard the sound of running water and knocked on the door, and it seemed that there was no one."
Ye Qiuhen lives in room 205, and next room 203 is a middle-aged couple who come here for vacation, Mr. Yang and Mrs. Yang. They are from Zhejiang and introduce themselves to themselves as individual bosses who run seafood stalls.
Although there is no monitoring installed in the inn, if a guest leaves the inn, there will be records at the front desk.
This is a habit of Shuimei Inn. Spinach said that this was what the boss lady Shuimei asked to do.
When Xu Yuanfang went out, He Lingyu wrote down the time he went out on the book. At that time, she saw the one above that was the couple living in Room 203, Mr. Yang and Mrs. Yang. They left at 7:30 in the morning.
He Lingyu thanked Ye Qiuhen, took the key to Room 203, and followed Ye Qiuhen to the second floor.
Ye Qiuhen walked very slowly, as if waiting for her. When He Lingyu opened the door of Room 203 with the key, she also stood aside, her eyes flashing, as if she was looking forward to something.
What is she expecting?
He Lingyu pretended not to pay attention to her actions and opened the door with the key. Shuimei Inn is a Chinese-style building, and even the door locks are ancient brass locks. It is said that these door locks were specially customized by someone. Each lock has a seal character "Mei" on the seal character, and the brass key has a "Shui" character, which is unique and cannot be bought on the market.
The sound insulation effect of the inn room was not good. As soon as I walked to the door, I heard the sound of running water. He Lingyu walked in, touched the switch, turned on the light in the bathroom, and saw that the faucet on the sink was indeed not closed.
Like other rooms in the inn, there is no window in the small bathroom, and only a ventilation fan is used to ventilate. Therefore, even during the day, the lights should be turned on in the bathroom, otherwise it will be pitch black.
Maybe it was because Mr. Yang and Mrs. Yang did not turn on the ventilation fan in the morning. The bathroom was full of moisture, and there was also a layer of water mist on the mirror above the sink.
He Lingyu turned on the ventilation fan and closed the faucet casually. She raised her head and looked at the mirror above the sink. As the mist gradually dissipated, He Lingyu suddenly saw Ye Qiuhen standing behind her in the mirror!
Ye Qiuhen's appearance in the mirror changed a little from the moment. His pale face was covered with a layer of yin energy. His beautiful and charming phoenix eyes seemed to have been used by a crappy makeup artist with the wrong eyeliner. There was a red blood color on the ends of his eyes that were slightly raised, and his pupils were hollow, like two black holes, and he could not see his spirit.
The ventilation fan has a lot of power, with the sound of the fan blades, and the crisp ringing sounds mixed in it, like whispers in a crowd of people.
He Lingyu smiled at the person in the mirror, as if he had seen an old friend he had not seen for a long time.
