The location of the villa is on the top of the mountain. Although the environment is excellent, the transportation is not that convenient.

Although supplies and food can be transported by helicopter, if the weather is bad... like yesterday, when the helicopter cannot transport them, the warehouse will need to be replenished from time to time with vegetables and fruits grown by the villagers at the foot of the mountain.

Because it is quite difficult to go up the mountain, and the quality of fruits and vegetables must be absolutely fresh, the price given by the villa is several times higher than the market price outside. When the farmers at the foot of the mountain, who all grow some vegetables, received the news, they "flocked to it".

But after a long time, there will not be a single person who is responsible for the coordination.

Harvesting vegetables, inspecting... The person in charge is Lao Zhou, the most prestigious person in the village, to some extent.

Although the road up the mountain is very difficult for ordinary people, it is not difficult for Lao Zhou who often goes up the mountain.

But there is one thing, the villa requires Lao Zhou, who delivers food, to enter through the main gate every time.

It is one thing that the villa is unwilling to manage the backdoor.

As for the other point...

The main entrance is the one that all guests pass through.

If they saw simple villagers carrying fresh home-grown vegetables to their door... they had seen luxurious food from all over the place, and what they admired most were the vegetables raised by farmers themselves.

So, it can also be considered a form of publicity.

This time, it is no different.

"Ah, who is that? He's dressed so simply, and the basket on his back is tattered..."

"But, look, the vegetables in the basket look so fresh..."

"Oh, that's called a backpack. But I see, there are traces of insects on some leaves. It seems that there are no pesticides. They should be all natural..."

"It turns out the vegetables we eat are truly natural, and they're just as advertised. No wonder I can taste a refreshing sweetness when I eat them."

"..."

Every time Lao Zhou comes, he is very careful. He picks out the best vegetables from a pile of very good-looking vegetables in his basket, and puts them together with the ones that are most naturally free of insect damage.

Then, he slowed down his pace a little, and followed the reminders given by the general dispatcher during his training, allowing the guests at the villas on both sides of the road to see the vegetables in his backpacks as clearly as possible.

However, this time, Lao Zhou had other things to do besides delivering vegetables.

kitchen.

After the busy lunch hour, it was now the free time before preparing dinner, and Lao Zhou's figure was soon discovered by the people in the kitchen.

"Hey, Lao Zhou, why are you here today? It seems like it hasn't even been a week yet... But it rained yesterday, and the helicopters couldn't bring up any supplies. Lao Zhou, you're here just in time. We need help..."

The kitchen manager was surprised but also very pleased by Lao Zhou's early arrival.

"Chief, it rained yesterday, so I thought I'd bring you some fresh vegetables. Just as I was picking mushrooms up the mountain, I found a cell phone. It looked like it might have been dropped by a guest of yours, so I came up to ask about it..."

As he spoke, Lao Zhou took out something wrapped in layers of red plastic bags from his cloth bag. It looked like it had been carefully and attentively taken care of...

Old Zhou carefully took out Xiang Huanian's cell phone and solemnly handed it to the chief dispatcher.

"cell phone?"

The chief dispatcher took the phone from Lao Zhou and took a look at it.

"This phone looked expensive, so I brought it up to ask if it was dropped by a customer of yours."

"I don't know either, but it's available right now, let's go ask the front desk..."

"Hey, okay."

Having been here many times, Lao Zhou was not worried that the kitchen staff would steal his basket. He unloaded the basket into the vegetable storage area in the kitchen, and followed the chief dispatcher to the front desk with empty hands.

After hearing the details, the front desk clerk thought that the guests here didn't need a mobile phone, but then he thought that the information in the mobile phone should be more important, so he decided to ask in every room.

Then, he asked about Xiang Huanian and their room.

When Xiang Huanian received a call from Gu Lingyan, asking her to go to the front desk to check and see if it was her lost phone, she was typing away on the keyboard of her tablet.

The room was booked by Gu Lingyan, so the front desk naturally called Gu Lingyan's cell phone, who had not yet returned to the villa.

"What a coincidence?"

It’s not that Xiang Huanian is suspicious, it’s just that both she and Gu Lingyan saw how the phone rolled down the cliff. It was such an obvious and hopeless situation. Unless there was a thorough search, it would be absolutely impossible to find her phone. How could it be such a coincidence that she had just lost it and it was picked up by someone right after?

"It's impossible that he's waiting down there..."

It has to be said that Xiang Huanian's intuitive guesses are sometimes quite accurate.

It was almost a hit.

"I find it a bit strange too. If you go, remember to ask Shao Yu to accompany you. Don't go alone and defenselessly. No, I'll call Shao Yu and ask him to go with you."

"Hey! Mr. Gu, no need..."

Before Xiang Huanian could finish his refusal, Gu Lingyan hung up the phone.

"That's not the case... I just went to the front desk to identify my phone. It's unlikely that the murderer just happened to pick it up and gave it to me..."

Xiang Huanian talked to himself in front of the black screen of his phone.

"Dong dong."

"Little sister, it's me. My brother called and asked me to accompany you to the front desk."

Gu Shaoyu came very quickly. After Xiang Huanian opened the door, he found that Lin Yunchu and Lin's father and mother had come with him.

"Come on, Nian Nian, we'll go with you."

When Xiang Huanian opened the door and saw the room full of heads, he said: "..."

"Well, I don't think it's that serious..."

Xiang Huanian was trying to make such a large event smaller and reduce the number of people, but Lin's father, Lin's mother, Lin Yunchu, and Gu Shaoyu all disagreed and expressed their intention to go with them:

"That won't do, Nian Nian. You can't go alone in this situation..."

"Yes, Nian Nian, the danger is not over yet. We must be more cautious now."

"Yes, Nian Nian, don't be so reserved at a time like this, let's go together..."

"That's right, little sister, you must listen to what my brother says... It's okay if it's a small matter, but now it's not a small matter. Besides, if he doesn't find out, it's fine. If he does... you'll have to fend for yourself..."
