Chapter 44 The Phantom of the Haunted House (1)
In a car on the roadside in Main Street, Los Angeles, Lee said the last sentence to the phone: "Thank you very much, Alfred, if you have time, come to Chicago as a guest. We have brought you some small gifts from the far east. I believe you will like it. OK, I will be careful and rest assured."
After hanging up the phone, he said to David sitting opposite him: "David, don't go to this operation. If the enemy here is the one I'm worried about, it's not something you can deal with."
"But, is it too dangerous for you two?" David, the good old man, looked at Lee with concern, especially John, who was eager to try like a monkey beside him, made him feel even more worried.
"It's okay, believe me, John is the best person for this operation." As they spoke, they had already opened the door and walked out. Lee thought of something, stopped and turned around and said, "By the way, you'd better say hello to the Los Angeles Police Department and the Fire Department. I'm afraid, we can't guarantee the integrity of the building after the incident is completed." After that, he followed John to the Cecil Hotel.
After hearing this, David couldn't help but wail, Li, do you need to make such a big noise every time you go to a place? You are also indispensable in the news in Tokyo two days ago. Oh my God, I hope you will only demolish this building this time and don't demolish the entire street.
When they opened the gold-packed door of the hotel and entered the lobby, the two were immediately attracted by the hotel's lighting and decoration. The newly renovated hotel lobby looked magnificent. The brass vestibule and marble floor were set against the golden tones of decoration. At first glance, the hotel had a feeling of a movie scene in the 1940s.
John whistled, "Wow, I didn't expect that this price would be able to find such a good hotel. The location is good and the decoration is good. Your vision is as good as ever, Steve."
"Of course, John, this is the most cost-effective hotel I have chosen from dozens of hotels, right next to Seventh Avenue Metro Station and one stop from Staples Arena. On the west side of the hotel, there are many clubs, bars and restaurants along Spring and Seventh Street. The hotel also comes with a café, and the hotel offers free continental breakfast in the breakfast area every morning. Trust me, we will have an unforgettable graduation trip." Lee pushed the black-framed glasses he used to disguise, showing off like a nerd.
When John came to the front desk, the old woman was still here to receive her.
"Hey, aunt, we had an appointment before, John and Steve, help us see."
"Okay, please wait." The old woman did not express her rudely name, and lowered her head and carefully checked the records.
"Seat No. 1304, congratulations, the lighting there is very good, you can see the beautiful scenery. This is your key, the elevator is there." The old woman took an old-fashioned key from the key holder behind her and handed it to them.
Li frowned: "Do you have no induction door card?"
"The hotel locks are all mechanical locks, and there is no induction door card." The old woman replied plainly.
"Forget it, let's go, Steve, maybe this is the feature of this hotel, what a retro design." John walked towards the elevator with a heartless face. Li shook his head and followed him like a competent friend.
Seeing the two of you entering the elevator, the old woman picked up the phone on hand again, "Hey, ma'am, there are two preys you like that moved in, yes, that room."
The old woman hung up the phone and showed a strange smile on her face again: "You will definitely have an unforgettable graduation trip."
As soon as he finished speaking, the door opened again. The old woman looked up and saw that this was a tall man, about 30 to 40 years old. His thick beard was a little confused. He was wearing a mortar leather jacket, but the wear on the leather jacket made people wonder if it was the original color of the clothes or because it was too severely worn. There were several holes in the same old jeans, revealing a few leg hairs. As he walked, mud kept falling on his old leather boots on the marble floor.
"Is there still a free room?" The old woman's low and thick voice and the dense chest hair exposed on her chest made her dizzy.
Dongdong, he knocked on the table and woke up the old woman who had been staring at his chest.
"Oh, yes, yes." The old woman came to her senses, "50 yuan a night."
"Okay, open a room for me."
“1311, this is the key.”
"Thank you." The man took the key and turned toward the elevator. At this time, the old woman discovered that he was carrying a large musical instrument box on his back. From the outside, it seemed to be like cello.
Oh, it seems that he is still an artist. It seems that there is a delicate heart hidden under his rough appearance. The old woman was fantasizing in her heart. She seemed to be full of youth, and a numbness like an electric current traveled all over her body. She was secretly happy. After waiting for so long, she finally came a dish that suited her taste. She had been enjoying these days.
Ding, the elevator door opened, and Lee and John walked out of the elevator and were immediately shocked by the scene in front of him. Apart from the cheap marble on the ground, there was no place to be associated with the luxurious hall downstairs. The entire corridor was narrow and dark, with repeated paint on the gray-blue walls. It was not the room that faced the elevator, but the public bathroom and toilet. This was a bit incredible for a hotel with a luxurious lobby.
When the two of them came to the room, it was a different scene. The clean and tidy room was painted with milky white paint, two standard single beds were covered with white quilts, and opposite the bed was a wall-mounted flat-screen TV. The small sculptures on the table and the oil paintings hanging on the wall added a bit of artistic atmosphere to the whole room.
"Wow, the owner of this hotel is so strange. Why is the decoration style inside and outside the house so different? Such a room is only 50 a night, which is so worth it. Oh, this soft bed makes me think of it." John fell on the bed in big words and was intoxicated.
Li put on his glasses and said, "I just said you have to believe in my judgment. This is a hotel I have carefully selected, so how can there be any problems."
At this time, the camera was playing in the monitor in a room in this hotel. Looking at the shooting angle, the camera was directly opposite their bed, and there was a sound coming.
A lazy and sexy voice sounded in the lounge chair in the room, "Well, these two goods are of good quality, and the one that will be rewarded to you later."
"Thank you, madam." The old woman standing behind the recliner spoke was the one at the front desk. At this time, she had no sense of oldness at the counter at all, and her whole face smiled like a chrysanthemum.
