"Ye Lai? Have you come over? " He Yuan asked a circle, and everyone shook their heads.

Just as He Yuan took out his mobile phone and prepared to call Ye Lai, frightened screams pierced the tranquility of the hotel. "Ah-the dead!"

Everyone looked at each other and subconsciously gathered together. Among them, the bolder man couldn't help but be curious and asked, "Who died?" .

Idle, He Yuan said to the men and women huddled behind him, "Let's go and have a look." After two steps, he glanced at the girl lying on the sofa and waved to her. "Guo Xu, you are with me, too."

Guo Xu sighed deeply. She is transparent in the company and doesn't like to talk to people. She is also used to hiding in the corner and playing a shadow role in group activities. It happened that her immediate boss, He Yuanhe, was in charge of the mom's mentality, thinking that she was too unsociable, bad for the workplace life, and her every move was taken care of.

Guo Xu followed the crowd. She deliberately lagged behind to avoid being stuffed with dog food by the couple who were always bored in front.

"Baby, why are your hands so cold?" Han Muyang put Ann's hand in his pocket and shook hands with her.

Ann leaned on Han Muyang's shoulder, her voice soft and weak: "Muyang, I'm afraid."

"Hey, let's just stand at the door and not go in." Han Muyang calmed Ann's mood and took one look.

Guo Xu lowered his head and slid his fingers on the screen of his mobile phone, as if he was aware of other people's sight. Unconsciously, she lifted her feet, deviated from the route to be taken, bypassed the line of sight being examined, and quickly got into the crowd.

The thick smell of blood got into the nostrils. He Yuan stopped, hesitated at the door for nearly half a minute, then put on the shoe cover and slowly walked in.

This is a simple and clean standard room. After working as a colleague for three years, He Yuan knew Ye Lai's temper and specially booked this room for her. At this time, his legs seemed to be filled with lead, but the distance of just a few meters exhausted all his strength. He watched the scene in horror, his hands shaking violently like spasms.

Ye Lai is lying on his back in bed. There is a ferocious wound on her neck, and the cut blood vessels are clearly visible. Her white pajamas are stained with blood.

He Yuan looks very pale. He clenched his fist and tried to suppress his nausea: "Did you call the police?"

Guo Xu reminded him in time: "There is no signal here."

Yes, the snow closed the mountain, and they were trapped in this hotel.

"Everybody go out, protect the scene and wait for the police." He Yuan urged everyone to go out, and at the same time grabbed Guo Xu's wrist and pulled her out. A girl who usually wants to hide in the corner like a shadow, but when she meets a murder case, she looks like chicken blood, and her eyes can't wait to grow at the scene of the murder case.

Guo Xu didn't want to look back. Her eyes rested on Yelai's nails. Yelai liked nail art very much. On the way, she was still showing off her new beautiful nails with Akita.

At that time, Guo Xuzheng was sitting behind Ye Lai. When she heard her words, Guo Xu took a special look. This time she walked in a sweet girlhood style with a small diamond on her right thumb. At this point, the diamond on Ye Lai's thumb disappeared, and the nails of the index finger, middle finger and ring finger were deliberately cut off.

Guo Xu couldn't help frowning. Out of the corner of her eye, she saw the line of sight of Han Muyang. She subconsciously lowered her head and shrank beside He Yuan, holding his skirt tightly with one hand, as if frightened.

"Not looking for a murderer?" Everyone settled down in the hall, and Akita looked at He Yuan. In the company, she has a good relationship with Ye Lai, but at this time, she is more worried that the murderer will commit crimes again than finding out the murderer and avenging her friends. "What if he kills again?"

He Yuan frowned and organized a group at the end of the year. This was a happy thing, but he was inexplicably trapped in the hotel. His colleagues who lived together day and night were also killed. He has lived for more than 20 years and has never experienced such inhuman things. But he is the backbone of this team. He must make up his mind and hesitate for a moment. He got up and walked to the front desk: "Is there monitoring?"

"Yes ... yes." The little girl at the front desk just turned 20 and someone died in the hotel. She turned pale with fear. She opened the drawer with trembling fingers, took out a bunch of keys and handed them to He Yuan. "This is the key to the control room. You go first. I'll try again and see if I can contact our boss. "

This three-story hotel has only five cameras, one in the corridor, one in the lobby and one at the door of each floor.

Ye Lai's room is in the innermost room on the left side of the elevator on the third floor. She doesn't like noise. Moreover, there are few tourists near the Spring Festival, and Ye Lai is the only one on the third floor.

He Yuan watched the video of the night they checked in. Except for the cleaning and service personnel, no one entered Ye Lai's room before the accident.

He Yuan shook the mouse a few times, but the screen was still black. He turned his head and turned his eyes to the security brother who came in together: "Was there a power outage last night?"

"When I took over in the morning, I heard from Xiao Liu that there was a power outage for nearly half an hour from 12 to 12: 30 last night."

After the heavy snow closed the mountain, the lines here were unstable and there were power outages from time to time.

A group of them amused themselves by playing games for nearly half a day yesterday. After dinner, everyone went back to their rooms early to rest. No one noticed whether the electricity was turned off last night except the security guard on duty at night and the little girl at the front desk.

"Did the murderer take advantage of the power outage to enter Yelai's room in the dark and kill Yelai?" Akita was so scared that she almost cried. She bit her lower lip and trembled.

"Don't talk nonsense." He Yuan suppressed a chill in his heart. He closed his eyes to ease his emotions. He said, "Let's get together and try not to be alone." Say that finish, he went over and picked up the girl hiding in the corner reading a novel. "Guo Xu, you follow me."

The snow is still falling, and the cold wind outside the window growls like a monster.

Guo Xu moved, and she always felt the wind blowing in from the window. Upon seeing this, He Yuan handed her a blanket. She spread the blanket around her body and lay lazily on the sofa like a cat. She narrowed her eyes slightly, eyes gently swept Han Muyang and Ann.

He Yuan noticed her little gesture and asked in a low voice, "What can I do for them?"

Guo Xu turned his head and replied faintly: "Very loving."

Hmm? He Yuan looked at Guo Xu doubtfully. Guo Xu didn't seem to realize it. She slowly reached out her hand from the blanket, peeled off a piece of toffee and stuffed it into her mouth. The rich milk fragrance spread between the lips and teeth, and the locked eyebrows gradually stretched. After a while, she continued, "Did the waiter ask you to clean the room where you stayed overnight?"

"There is a waiter didn't ask. She worked late last night and is still resting. "

Guo Xu nodded thoughtfully. She held her chin in one hand and looked at He Yuan: "Do you want to do another investigation?"

He Yuan's face sank and he whispered, "Do you think the murderer is among us?"

Guo Xu shrugged, according to the current situation, the murderer was either a random murder or a premeditated murder. If it is premeditated murder, the murderer is likely to be any one of them.

"Wait a minute." To tell the truth, He Yuan doesn't want to doubt any of them. "After talking to the attendant on duty last night, we will make an investigation."

Guo Xu looked down and didn't speak again.

Until it was time to take over, the waiter on duty came over last night, and He Yuan directly took it away.

Xiaowen has just learned that Yelai has been killed. Her eyes were red and she was shaking, and then she uttered a voice: "Last night ... Sister Ye asked me to send her a bottle of red wine."

"Red wine?" After careful consideration, Guo Xu did see the leftover empty wine bottles in the bathroom and the faint wine aroma. She asked, "Did she say anything when she asked you to deliver the wine?"

"She said she couldn't sleep. She drank some wine and slept well. "

Ye Lai has insomnia, and Akita knows about it. She also accompanied Ye Lai to the hospital on the rest day, and the doctor also prescribed sleeping pills for her, but the effect was not good.

Akita is like a grumpy lion at this time. She pointed to Han Muyang and shouted, "It's all because of you that Ye Lai can't sleep."

"Me?" Han Muyang looked puzzled. "What does her insomnia have to do with me?"

"It's none of your business." Akita is quiet and seldom speaks loudly. At that time, her voice was hoarse. She stared at Han Muyang and Ann coldly. "It was you men and women who hurt her."

Hmm? Interesting.

Guo Xu quietly moved to the middle of the crowd, eyes a bright, obviously interested in the dog blood plot of love triangle.

Being pointed at the nose is so humiliating that Ann stands up from Han Muyang's arms and raises her arm to slap Akita. Akita firmly clamped her wrist and gnashed her teeth and growled, "What? I dare do it. Or is it a sense of accomplishment to be a mistress? "

"You ..." A series of examining eyes shot at Ann like flames. She blushed with embarrassment and gnashed her teeth. "You are a mistress."

With that, she hid her face with her hands and threw herself into Han Muyang's arms, like a wronged kitten.

Han Muyang held Ann in one hand. He stared straight at Akita and said coldly, "What's the matter with you?"

"You cheated on her during the wedding and dumped her leaves. She lost sleep."

Hearing this, the Han Muyang smiled faintly. "There is no evidence. In this case, can I still suspect that she is paranoid? "

Oh, it seems that death tells no tales.

Guo Xuxiao, sure enough, living people are much more interesting than e-books.

He Yuan put the cigarette under his nose and smelled it. The faint smell of tobacco flooded into his nose, and his thoughts gradually became clear. He looked at Guo Xu thoughtfully and said, "How was the story?"

"Very interesting." Guo Xu put his hand on his face, warmed up, and then cocked his head and looked at He Yuan. "Do men like to lie?"

"Little girl, you can't kill all the men with such a stick."

Guo Xu snorted in a low voice and changed the subject: "Who do you think is the most suspect among us?"

He Yuan thoughtfully pointed to the cigarette case with his finger. "Are there any doubts?"

Guo Xu looked around and lowered his voice: "Don't you think Han Muyang and An An are strange?"

He Yuan raised his eyes and looked at Guo Xu, puzzled: "Strange?"

"They are so caring, as if they were doing something for others." Everyone knows that the company's teahouse is monitored, but Han Muyang and An An are still very close in the teahouse.

After Guo Xu's reminder, He Yuancai knew that the night station was opposite the teahouse. As long as she looked up, everything in the teahouse would be clear at a glance.

"How sure are you?" After all, we are colleagues who live together day and night. He Yuan doesn't want things to be impossible to end.

Guo Xu stared at He Yuan unblinkingly. She didn't know whether men's indecision was good or bad, but in this case, Guo Xu felt that He Yuan must be bold, so she suggested, "Why don't we ask their alibis respectively last night?"

He Yuan hesitated for a moment. He picked up his down jacket, went outside and smoked a cigarette. He went to Guo Xu with a cold body, took out a coffee toffee from his pocket and tried, "Come with me?"

Guo Xu blinked. If she was seduced by a candy, wouldn't she look spineless? However, she is more curious about Han Muyang's explanation than her backbone.

Han Muyang was reading a book, lying on Han Muyang's lap with the cushion of the sofa in his arms, and seemed to be asleep. He Yuan hesitated. Guo Xu poked his finger on his back and motioned for him to hurry up. He Yuan sighed helplessly at the bottom of my heart. How can this girl be so keen on this matter as if she had beaten chicken blood?

He Yuan bent his finger, tapped on the small coffee table next to Han Muyang and asked softly, "Is it convenient to talk alone?"

"Huh?" Han Muyang look back from the book, a confused look at He Yuan and Guo Xu. The next second, he seemed to remember something, so he put down his book, cocked his head, leaned down and kissed Ann's forehead, and said softly, "Good boy, wake up first."

Guo Xu shook his shoulder and got goose bumps all over. She is too greasy. She cocked her head and her eyes rested on the book that Han Muyang was reading. This is a British art appreciation book.

No wonder, every time she reads a novel on her mobile phone, it will attract Han Muyang's interrogation. It turned out that she was abandoning her.

If Han Muyang knew that she still preferred forensic literature, she would despise her even more.

However, in this world, everyone has his own ideas. Guo Xu is aboveboard and not afraid of being despised by him.

"Ann and I are very loving. Young and loving couples are together and naturally cherish every second. " Han Muyang also happily spit out a milky white smoke turn. "However, we don't have the hobby of making videos, otherwise we can keep it as an alibi."

Guo Xu pie pie, this man is really shameless.

He Yuan naturally didn't want to ask more questions, so he took Guo Xu's sleeve and took two steps to the side. He coughed gently and explained to the little girl, "It's normal between men and women."

Guo Xu glanced at He Yuan's red ear tip. This man is really thin-skinned, and he is not ashamed. He is very shy.

She stood up and said, "Let's ask Ann again."

In less than two minutes, Han Muyang brought Ann a cup of hot milk from nowhere. Guo Xu felt a little sour. She held her chest in her hands to comfort herself.

Ann has a milk cup in her hand and a smile on her lips. Women in love are easily satisfied.

However, doesn't Guo Xu's eyebrows mean that a woman nourished by love should have a red face? However, Ann's face is pale and her eyes are black and blue. Seeing Guo Xu staring at his face all the time, An An bowed his head and looked shy: "I didn't have a good rest last night."

This ..... How to talk!

Guo Xu crustily skin of head: "Did you notice what time it was when you were asleep?"

"About 12 o'clock ... I looked at my phone."

"Where was Han Muyang at that time?"

"He is ..." Ann hesitated for a moment, and she lowered her eyes to avoid Guo Xu's eyes. "Of course he's by my side."

"Oh?" Guo Xu gave her a thoughtful look, raised his arm and elbowed He Yuan next to her. He Yuan winked at her, and they took the collected evidence and sat down in a corner far away from the crowd.

Guo Xu opened her notebook and scanned it in detail. She and He Yuan are both amateurs. Even if the messy clues are unified, I still feel foggy. She closed her notebook and looked up and asked He Yuan, "Are you sure whether the power outage was man-made or accidental?"

He Yuan shook his head. He leaned back wearily, his eyes rested on Han Muyang and Akita, and he sighed, "This is not a good night."

Guo Xu shrugged it off. On the contrary, she looked forward to new progress in the story tonight.

He Yuan originally wanted to get people together and even borrowed tatami mattresses from waiters, but everyone was more afraid of privacy exposure than death.

After confirming that everyone went back to their rooms to rest, He Yuan made a cup of strong tea and slowly climbed to the third floor, ready to give Ye Lai a vigil. As soon as he entered the third floor, Guo Xu's voice came. Chewing gum, she glanced at He Yuan's teacup and said gloomily, "Uncle, you are too old to stay up all night with strong tea."

Uncle Guo Xu's voice really upset He Yuan. His eyes twitched, and his voice could not hide his sadness: "I am five years older than you."

Guo Xu blinked and ignored He Yuan's answer. She handed him the pillow in her arms, showing great respect for the old man. "Why don't you lean on it for a while?"

In order to prove that he is young and can stay up late, He Yuan immediately refused: "No, I can afford it."

"Really stubborn."

Just after 2 am, He Yuan fell asleep in a daze. He didn't sleep well. There was the sound of kicking the door. He was so scared that he almost fell off the chair.

Hearing this, Guo Xu turned off his mobile phone, held his breath for a while, turned to He Yuan, who was still in a daze, and said, "Someone is arguing downstairs. It sounds like Akita and An An."

"The two of them?" He Yuan woke up at once. He stood up and said, "Come on, let's go and have a look."

Before I got close, there was a cry, and I saw Ann snuggling in Han Muyang's arms, crying like a pear flower with rain.

Women fight really hard. If they don't agree, pull their hair, slap them in the face and scratch each other's face. ...

Guo Xu subconsciously stopped, she didn't want to be affected by their madness in an instant. Her little body can't stand it.

He Yuan saw Akita's torn hair and dark red handprints on her cheeks, and suddenly she had a headache: "Why ... did you fight again?"

"It's her ..." Ann sobbed, speechless. "It's her ... who saw ... Muyang for the first time."

"I bah." Akita is short of breath, and she has completely lost her former elegance. She spat in Ann's direction and gnashed her teeth. "I will have a crush on him?" ! "

He Yuan rubbed his eyebrows. He turned his eyes to the hero of the story: "Han Muyang, what's the matter?"

"I ..." Han Muyang looked down at the people in peace and arms. She closed her eyes and leaned against his chest, sobbing, as if she had been greatly wronged. He patted her on the back, hesitated and told the truth. "I contacted Akita first and wanted to ask her about Ye Lai."

One o'clock in the morning? This man really doesn't have much.

He Yuan took advantage of the situation to pursue: "So, you and Ye Lai?"

Han Muyang nodded, a default Qiu Tian before complaining.

Oh, love triangle.

Guo Xu quietly moved his steps and approached Heyuan. As the saying goes, she leans against a big tree to enjoy the cool. She hid behind a man with long legs and was not afraid of being beaten even if she was rude.

"So did you break up peacefully or was there a third party involved?"

Guo Xu's words were straightforward and sharp, and Han Muyang couldn't help being one leng. To tell the truth, Guo Xu is like a timid and obedient kitten in his mind. He forgets that cats will bite when they are forced.

Seems to be crying enough, in the blurred with a pair of peach eyes, stick out your tongue like a kitten near Han Muyang's neck, this vivid picture, let Guo Xu stare big eyes, she really thinks that if she presses herself on the bed at this time, she can start a live broadcast of a double movement at any time.

Han Muyang looked embarrassed. He tilted his head to avoid Ann's mouth and whispered, "Be good, don't make trouble."

Turned a deaf ear, persistently chasing Han Muyang's neck. Han Muyang face a heavy. He glanced at He Yuan and said, "Sorry, let's talk about it later."

After Han Muyang and An An left, He Yuan calmed Akita's mood and let people go back to their rooms. When they were about to invite Guo Xu to the third floor, she saw a pair of beautiful eyes flashing: "What would they say if you weren't curious?"

He Yuan has a dark face and has no interest in listening to people.

Seeing his silence, Guo Xu continued: "Or do you think they will make a big move?"

He Yuan gently coughed awkwardly: "Guo Xu, are you ashamed of being a girl?"

Guo Xu shook his body and bumped his shoulder on He Yuan, laughing like a kitten: "We are all adults."

After closing the door, Han Muyang directly pushed Ann to the sofa. He leaned down, moved closer to her and said coldly, "Did you kill her?" (Novel title: "Falling snow, the soul flies away" Ruan Xia)
