It seems that the hotel owner's ability to pay off his debts is most likely related to this dirty business.

Xie Fei asked Mei Zi again if she knew who killed her.

When Mei Zi started to think about what happened before her death, her mind went blank. No matter how hard she tried, she couldn't remember how she died. She just saw her own corpse when she opened her eyes.

Xie Fei felt a little regretful that he didn't find out the murderer, but it was a pity that when the time came, Chen sent Mei Zi to pass away.

Xie Fei clicked on the side quest and took a look. The hint under this quest was: "Find the missing guest."

Before Mei Zi, many people must have disappeared in this hotel, but the time span was too long and they didn't know where to look for them, so it was like looking for a needle in a haystack.

After a while, Mingxia came back.

She brought back a message.

At the entrance of the alley, she saw a furtive figure. Feeling it was a little strange, she followed it and eventually reached the back door of a club.

"Club!" Xie Fei reacted a little bit when he heard the name. Looking at his expression, it seemed like he had figured something out.

Ming Xia asked: "What's wrong?"

"It's like this..." Xie Fei repeated what Mei Zi had said.

Ming Xia is also a woman. When she heard that her uncle's hotel was using lone female guests for erotic transactions, she couldn't help but get angry. Her eyes became sharper and she wished she could find the boss and kill him right away.

But she also understood where Xie Fei suddenly realized that the club, a place where dirty transactions took place, was a good place to hide people.

She said seriously, "If that's the case, it's very likely."

Mingxia continued to talk about his findings.

After the person she was following entered the club, she also sneaked in.

It turned out that the club was run by the largest local gang and was used to launder money and bribe officials.

There is also a large casino below the club.

"Casino." Xie Fei muttered softly. The hotel owner lost money in the casino and borrowed usury. Could this matter be related to that club?

Zhou Xing and Xie Fei thought the same thing and calmly said two words: "Commodity."

These were the words he and Xie Fei heard on that phone.

Obviously, the commodity refers to the hotel guests, who are then sold to the club by the hotel owner to pay off his debts.

Jiang Zhi said indignantly: "He owes so much money, how many people does he have to sell to pay it off?"

Even if each person gets 10,000 yuan, that would require 500 people. With so many people, it's unlikely no matter how you think about it.

Xie Fei said meaningfully: "There is more than one secret in this hotel."

What he meant was that the boss must have more ways to make money.

Chen Xuan's expression changed, and he lowered his voice and asked, "Could it be selling fans?"

Jiang Zhi nodded in agreement: "It's possible."

Xie Fei looked up at Ming Xia and asked, "Anything else? Did you find anything else in the club?"

Ming Xia nodded and said, "The big man who died yesterday was originally an employee of the club. He was highly regarded by the boss, but he was fired a week ago because of something."

Zhou Xing said: "What was the purpose of that person who came to see Mei Zi's death? Was he here to confirm Mei Zi's death or to gather information since he didn't know how she died?"

Ming Xia didn't expect Zhou Xing to guess this so quickly. She nodded slightly and said, "Yes, this is the strangest thing. The people at the club didn't expect Mei Zi to die. They said that Mei Zi escaped by herself yesterday, and they don't know who did it."

Chen Xuan was puzzled: "The alley between the hotel and the residential building is so narrow, it is impossible that there was no sound when Mei Zi was killed, but none of us noticed anything unusual."

Xie Fei was awakened by Chen Xuan's words. He stood up suddenly, walked to the window and looked outside.

"Brother Fei?" The others looked at his sudden action in confusion.

The place where the murderer dumped the body was a blind spot. He couldn't see anything from where he was. He could only see the cordon set up by the police. How could he not hear any sound at such a close distance?

"What did you find?" Zhou Xing asked him.

Xie Fei said in a deep voice: "Before the monster appeared yesterday, I heard a sentence."

“I was seen.”

Originally, I thought that the "seen" in this sentence referred to Xie Fei seeing the domestic violence scene across the street, but now I think, is it possible that he was referring to Mei Zi?

At that time, Mei Zi escaped from the club, and then something happened and she was killed to silence her.

Moreover, Mei Zi's own memory is incomplete, which further proves that the person who killed her was not an ordinary person.

Zhou Xing said: "The injuries on the body are not something that an ordinary person can do. The limbs were directly broken off without letting the victim make any sound. It is impossible for a normal creature to be killed without making any sound."

Xie Fei asked: "Could it be the thing that came to kill me last night?"

"Didn't a player die last night?" He pointed upstairs and then to the window and said, "He fell from here. If Mei Zi died at that time, wouldn't the Shuguang people have seen it when they went down?"

Xie Fei looked at Chen Xuan, because he asked Chen Xuan to go down with him to check out the situation in the evening.

Chen Xuan shook his head and said, "I didn't see anything."

They went down to check on Jiang Penghai's condition, but the body disappeared too quickly.

A hint of doubt flashed across Zhou Xing's eyes. He had also thought about this question after seeing the corpse disappear yesterday.

The body disappeared too quickly.

After a player dies, the body will usually disappear after a while, in order to facilitate the inspection of the body. Only the player killed by other players will disappear quickly.

He asked coldly, "Did Jiang Penghai's body really disappear at that time last night?"

Xie Fei understood what he meant in a second and said in surprise: "Brother felt that the body had not disappeared at that time, but was just covered by something."

If so, it makes perfect sense.

At that time, something downstairs killed Mei Zi, and before she left, Jiang Penghai's body was thrown down.

In order to prevent Mei Zi's body from being discovered, it also covered up Jiang Penghai's body.

But Jiang Penghai is a player, and the bodies will disappear on their own after a period of time, so only Mei Zi’s body was found in the morning.

"Someone went out." Xie Fei caught a glimpse of a few figures from the window, who seemed to be two members of the Qinglong team.

The direction they were heading was the other end of the alley, and across the street was the club that Mingxia mentioned.

Ming Xia was thinking about something else. She was silent for a while and asked, "The front desk should have a check-in list, right?"

Xie Fei paused and said, yes, the check-in list.

It should contain the residence information of all the guests, so that they can analyze which ones are the missing guests.
