The door of Room 303 was opened a crack and blood flowed out from the gap.

"It seems we are late." Xie Fei pushed open the door and saw the corpse in the room. It was the big NPC from today.

Chen Xuan said: "Did someone take the lead?"

"Well, judging from the way he died, he must have been a player to be able to kill him silently in such a non-soundproof hotel." The vines on Ming Xia's wrist flew out and turned the body on the ground over. "And his soul was sucked out. Even using soul extraction won't work."

"It's okay, there is another way." Xie Fei took out a card.

[Backtrack (four stars): You can backtrack what happened ten minutes ago. ]

After using the skill card, the scene in front of them turned gray, and they still entered the backtracking state.

But the person who did it was more careful than they thought. He never showed his face during the whole process. He must have used invisibility. They only heard a knock on the door. The NPC in the house opened the door, and the person in the dark forced his way in, killed the person, and then extracted the NPC's soul. The whole process took less than a minute.

After reviewing the situation, Xie Fei sighed and said, "It's been a long time since I met such a smart opponent."

The players in the dungeons he encountered before were neither weak nor strong, but the one today gave Xie Fei a strong desire to fight. He wanted to find that person and beat him to death!

Ming Xia asked: "Who do you think did it?"

Chen Xuan pondered, "We don't know much about the other four teams. At most, I think it's not Jiang Zhe. He wouldn't do such a boring thing."

"Wait a moment." Xie Fei raised his hand and tapped their bracelet, indicating that they should speak in the team channel.

They seemed to understand what Xie Fei meant.

【Team Channel】

【Xie Fei: We must be being monitored. Let's go back to our rooms and pretend nothing happened. 】

【Jiang Zhi: Brother Fei, do you have any doubts about someone? 】

【Xie Fei: Isn’t there one person I met today? 】

【Chen Xuan: The money is not coming. 】

[Ming Xia: His appearance was a coincidence, perhaps he was delaying us.]

[Jiang Zhi: From this point of view, he is the most suspicious, so be careful of him.]

……

After returning to the room, Xie Fei carefully checked whether there was any bug on his body, and then took off Zhou Xing's clothes. After confirming it thoroughly, he breathed a sigh of relief, sat on Zhou Xing's lap, and said, "Brother, do you think it could be him?"

"Of course, I definitely didn't suspect him for no reason just because of what happened just now. The timing of his appearance was too coincidental." He immediately added.

"It's him." Zhou Xing pinched his chin and kissed him directly, biting his lips and said nonchalantly: "You said the timing was too coincidental, and he went to the rooftop."

Xie Fei put his hands on his shoulders, pushed him away a little, and said in surprise: "You mean, Qian Bulai placed a bug on the rooftop, and then heard our discussion on the rooftop, and then got ahead of us."

He suddenly thought of the time when he saw Qian Fei coming in the stairwell. At that time, he was not in a hurry to find clues. He might have been waiting for this moment.

They now have clues in their hands, and they would have known them even without Qian Bu Lai, and they would have killed the person they were going to investigate next without leaving any trace.

"Hahaha!" Xie Fei laughed while lying on Zhou Xing's shoulder, but there was a bit of ruthlessness in his eyes, "Brother, I haven't been teased like this in a long time. I'm a little angry."

Zhou Xing's reaction was calmer than he had imagined. He pinched the back of Xie Fei's neck, bit his earlobe with his teeth, and said calmly: "Then kill him, it couldn't be simpler."

It was a simple and crude method, but Xie Fei felt that the money was not that simple and there must be some other tricks behind it.

In the afternoon, they didn't find any other clues, so Xie Fei asked Jiang Zhi to ask the girl at the front desk for some information about Mei Zi.

Mei Zi is 24 years old this year. She graduated from junior high school. Before she turned 20, she was married to a 30-year-old man by her family. Two months ago, she divorced that man and fled here. Because she didn't have much money, she was forced to choose this hotel. At that time, the girl at the front desk had just started working for a few days.

Mei Zi looked for many jobs, but no one was willing to hire her because she didn't know anything. Finally, she went to work as a waitress in a fried chicken restaurant.

The last time I saw Mei Zi was half a month ago.

The clerk at the fried chicken shop said that Mei Zi had not gone to work a month ago, which means that Mei Zi had been staying in the hotel for half a month.

Jiang Zhi curiously asked for information about the dead tattooed man. The girl at the front desk lowered her voice and said, "This man is a gangster. I don't know where Mei Zi met him. He often comes to see her. Now they live together. They should be lovers."

It is enough to get this information.

Xie Fei spent some time dealing with the NPC's body. He didn't want to be discovered by other NPCs and cause a lot of trouble.

He went to Mei Zi's room and saw obvious signs of two people living together, so he was not surprised when Jiang Zhi said that Mei Zi and the man with tattoos were lovers.

But why did the tattooed man hide the fact that Mei Zi was also the customer's business? Unless Mei Zi's disappearance had something to do with him, that's why he tried so hard to hide it.

Before night fell, they had not encountered anyone seeking help from the God of Wealth, and Xie Fei and his friends did not take the initiative to visit them.

"Tick tock."

There was a sound of dripping water coming from the bathroom, very slight, yet very obvious.

The moonlight at night was completely blocked by the two buildings next to it.

"Bang." The sound of pots and pans falling to the ground came from the building facing the bed of Xie Fei and his friends, followed by a man's angry roar.

"Fuck, why is this food cold? I'm working hard outside, and you're eating and drinking for free at home. Don't you even want to cook?"

"You came back too late, and I wasn't even warm yet." The woman explained timidly.

"Snapped."

A crisp slap.

"I think you're too idle at home all day, go out and find a job tomorrow!"

"Who will take care of my daughter when I'm away?"

"The little bastard can't run away, nothing will happen to her at home..."

……

Xie Fei covered his ears with the quilt, but it was no use. He heard everything the couple was arguing about.

He gave up struggling, climbed out of bed with a wooden face, and walked to the window.

The quarreling family was also on the second floor, just opposite them. The windows opposite were also wide open, and they could see the scene inside. The man pressed the woman on the sofa and beat her violently, slapping her one after another. The door facing the bed was slightly opened, and a little girl saw the domestic violence scene through the crack of the door.

Suddenly, the girl looked towards Xie Fei, with a hint of weirdness in her unclear eyes, and then she lowered her eyes.

"Being seen..."

"I was seen..."

"What if we are seen?"

The silent hum, the dim lights, and the sudden drop in temperature made everything seem wrong.

Xie Fei was a little distracted, thinking about something.

"Bang, bang, bang, bang."

Something was knocking on the wall, or maybe it was a message from the ceiling.

Xie Fei glanced across again. The little girl's door was tightly closed. The woman was sobbing quietly in the living room. The man finished the violence and continued to enjoy his dinner with satisfaction.

"Bang, bang, bang." The sound continued.

Xie Fei glanced at Zhou Xing lying on the bed and frowned slightly. He hasn't woken up yet, which seems to be amiss.

"Shh."

A silver light flashed past him, and if Xie Fei hadn't reacted quickly, he would have been beheaded.
