Chapter 9 – The Disappearance of the Girl

In response, Li Weisi was mentally prepared, so he wasn't too surprised. After all, this question had to be asked no matter what. Without understanding the intelligence, nothing else could be done next.

The receptionist's face suddenly changed drastically, obviously very embarrassed for a moment, not knowing what to say.

Li Weisi's face suddenly turned cold: "Are you hiding something from us? If there's a problem, I can complain to the guest room department."

The receptionist tightly pursed her lips, then said, "What problem are you talking about?"

"Room 1505, has there been anything unusual in the past few days?"

As soon as this was said, the other party's face turned even paler. The receptionist bit her lip tightly, then looked around, leaned over, and whispered, "Did other guests on the fifteenth floor tell you these things?"

Li Weisi immediately understood, then nodded.

After that, she pondered for a moment before whispering, "I'm sorry, the hotel cannot disclose guest information. I can't say."

Keeping guest information confidential is the minimum professional ethics of the hotel industry. The reception, which directly faces the guests, will definitely not allow a big mouth to be here. So, nothing can be asked at all.

However, just because the people here are tight-lipped doesn't mean that everyone is. After that, Li Weisi and the others began to ask other hotel staff about this matter. Finally, they found a service staff member, and after giving her some money, she spoke. And at the moment she spoke, each of Li Weisi and the other four people had 20 death redemption tickets deducted from them.

"A year ago... a guest in Room 1505. It was a girl, and at that time, she... inexplicably disappeared."

Disappeared?

This slightly surprised Li Weisi. He originally thought that someone must have died in Room 1505. Since it was a "disappearance," it couldn't be easily judged that the other party was already dead. Maybe the other party was also played by a new actor, hiding somewhere.

Since this possibility existed, Li Weisi naturally needed to consider it carefully. At the same time, Ye Xiang behind him was also slightly surprised. Like Li Weisi, he also thought that there was probably a murder case in Room 1505.

"A year ago, there was probably a high school girl of about fifteen or sixteen who came out to travel alone, and she also stayed in Room 1505. And she stayed there for about a week or so. It's just... as time went on, she started to become particularly strange..."

Li Weisi and Ye Xiang both knew that the next words were the key.

"At that time, she seemed to be afraid of something, but strangely, although she was afraid, she didn't check out. She seemed very scared every day... I once saw her strange appearance, always looking startled. She didn't dare to go out. At that time, she still had some money on her, so she had us deliver meals to her room every day, and the meal expenses were settled separately. And every time we delivered the food, she was very scared, only daring to open the door a crack. After taking the food, she immediately closed the door, as if she was very afraid of something. Then... on a night a year ago, she inexplicably disappeared..."

"On the next day, because the food delivery service found that she was not there, and considering her strange behavior all along, the people in the guest room department were somewhat worried, so they checked the surveillance footage. The result was that on the previous night, she behaved even more abnormally. As she entered the fifteenth floor, she kept looking around, and every step she took, she would look back several times, with a startled expression. Even, she ran back to the corridor where her room was as if she was fleeing. And it's worth mentioning that there was no camera installed at her room door. Because we felt that something was abnormal and couldn't contact her, so we called the police."

At this point, Ye Xiang suddenly remembered the Lanker case that happened in the real world. The case has not been solved to this day, and the deceased Lanker also behaved strangely before her death, which was captured by the surveillance camera. The video she took before her death was even spread as a supernatural video, and Ye Xiang had seen it online. At that time, she entered the elevator and inexplicably pressed the elevator buttons for every floor, but the elevator door could not close mysteriously. Then she walked out of the elevator, showing a strange behavior toward the side of the elevator that couldn't be seen, and netizens speculated that she was being chased by the murderer, pressing all the floors out of fear that the murderer was waiting for her upstairs. And since the elevator couldn't close, and the murderer was outside the elevator, that's why she showed that kind of behavior.

This horror movie suddenly made Ye Xiang and the real Lanker case feel overlapped.

"So, she still hasn't been found?" Li Weisi continued to ask."No." The staff member shook their head. "At the time, the police also came to investigate and checked the surveillance footage to find out how she disappeared that night. However, the surveillance camera captured her returning to the hotel's fifteenth floor by elevator after nine o'clock that night. But there was no footage of her leaving the building until she disappeared. It's as if she completely vanished from the face of the earth!"

All five of them felt a chill in their hearts. There was only footage of her going upstairs, but none of her coming back down?

"Doesn't that mean she was still on the fifteenth floor?"

"In theory, yes. But the police thoroughly searched the fifteenth floor and never found her. After the incident, they repeatedly reviewed all the surveillance footage from the two days of the incident. The result was that they had no idea where she had gone! She just mysteriously disappeared! The police were also investigating the other guests on the fifteenth floor at the time, and there weren't many guests on the fifteenth floor at the time, only five people besides the girl. However, strangely, these five people were all seen returning to the fifteenth floor on the surveillance footage before the girl disappeared. The next day, when we found that the girl was not in her room, we immediately called the police. After the police arrived and reviewed the surveillance footage, they searched all the rooms but did not find the girl. During this time, those five people did not leave the fifteenth floor! However, the girl just disappeared like that! And the surveillance footage did not capture any suspicious individuals entering the fifteenth floor that night. Except for those six guests!"

This incident was indeed very frightening.

"Those five people..." Li Weisi gritted his teeth. Then he described the appearance of Longnier and the others, and said, "Is it them?"

"Yes, that's right. It's them, especially that young lady, she's so beautiful, so I remember her very well. They have been staying here for a year, and they have never left!"

"For a year..." Li Weisi's heart trembled as he said this. "They have been staying here all this time?"

"Yes, I also find it strange. But they have been staying at this hotel for a year!"

A year ago, Longnier and the others, along with the mysterious missing girl, were staying on the fifteenth floor. However, the girl staying in room 1505 mysteriously disappeared, but the surveillance footage did not capture her being taken out of the fifteenth floor. However, the police could not find her on the fifteenth floor.

There are two possibilities. One is that the one who killed her was a ghost. So it's not strange at all that her body disappeared. The second possibility is that she turned into a ghost after she died, and of course, the surveillance footage could not capture a ghost. Either way, the situation was not good. Because the fifteenth floor definitely concealed danger! However, the script stipulated that they must stay within the fifteenth floor and must not leave the area!

What should they do next? Although the girl's disappearance was bizarre, it had nothing to do with them after all. They had not had any supernatural experiences in their roles, so they naturally would not believe in ghosts. It would be strange to question the other party about this.

However, since these five people were all actors from the Eighth Circle of Hell, then they could only play human killers, and it was impossible for them to be evil spirits. So if the one who killed the girl was a ghost, then that ghost could not be among those five people. The script would not allow actors to play ghosts, and ghosts would not be played by humans. Otherwise, it would turn into a horror movie without any danger, and everyone could shoot it with a happy heart.

In any case... let's go back to the fifteenth floor first. Everyone finished their meal early to delay their return to the fifteenth floor. But now, they had to go back.

After entering the elevator, Li Weisi pressed the button for the fifteenth floor, and then fell silent for a while before asking, "What do you all think?"

"It does sound a bit eerie," the first person to speak was Bai Yushuo. "Maybe it really is a supernatural event."

At this time, of course, one could not say, "It must be some kind of advanced criminal trick by the culprit." This was also a pre-set hint by Bai Yushuo, otherwise, if she were to investigate supernatural events later, wouldn't she be closing off her own escape route in advance?

At this moment, Ye Xiang spoke up, "We can't conclude that the girl is dead. Maybe she's still alive. But if she really is dead, then it's definitely a premeditated murder. She had already judged that someone was going to kill her, and she only stayed here because of a credit card issue. Even if the killer is someone on the fifteenth floor, she couldn't ask to change rooms. So she might have known that someone on the fifteenth floor was going to kill her, but she could only continue to stay on the fifteenth floor. As for whether it's a supernatural event, we'll have to see how things develop."Ye Xiang did not choose to judge it as a supernatural event because what he just said was all based on logical judgment, assuming that the murderer was human, so naturally he couldn't consider the supernatural.

"However, Yang Tieyan warned us to be careful... And why did the five suspects continue to live here for a year after the crime? Staying in this hotel for a year would be a huge expense. Are they all wealthy people?"

At this moment, the elevator door opened. The five actors just walked out, and another elevator door also opened, and out walked the stunning woman, Longnier.

"Everyone," Longnier looked at the five people and suddenly spoke, "I have something I want to tell you."

This... is not a line from the script!

What does she want to say?

Li Weisi looked at her with a hint of vigilance in his expression. He wouldn't relax his guard just because the other person was beautiful. After all, they were not from the same movie theater, and he didn't know the other person, so it was better to be cautious.

"Let's sit over there for a while." Longnier smiled slightly. "My name is Wu Yinchun. I have something to tell you."
