She took the electric kettle and filled it with water, plugged it in, and was whining and burning, when suddenly the lights went out, and the electric kettle also died down, and all power was cut off.

Huo Xiake waited for a while, and when he saw that the power supply was not restored, he walked out of the door, and Hua Jiao on the opposite side happened to come out with a flashlight on his mobile phone.

"There's a power outage."

Hua Jiao said: "Yes, the phone is also disconnected, let's go to the hall and ask the boss." ”

The two of them left the accommodation area together with their mobile phone flashlights and came to the hall, but they saw that the inside had been lit and stopped, and the fireplace was on fire, and Zhou Xiaolan was busy playing on her mobile phone.

After a moment, she sighed, raised her head helplessly, and said after seeing the two of them, "Do you want to ask about the power outage?" The bad news is that due to a snowstorm that cut the wires, we lost power and had to light candles. ”

Hua Jiao has traveled a lot and has a lot of experience, so he frowned and asked, "Don't you have a generator?" ”

"Yes, but the operator happened to be out today. And because of the snowstorm, the cable car was stopped, and he couldn't come up. ”

Huo Xiake smiled bitterly and said, "It's really unlucky, I feel that the signs are not good!" ”

Due to the power outage, people came to the hall one after another to ask. Huo Xiake and Hua Jiao couldn't help but be shocked when they saw one of them, because that person was the object they needed to investigate - Zhang Tianyu, vice president of the Great Development Group.

"Boss, what's going on?" Zhang Tianyu asked with a frown.

Zhou Xiaolan had to apologize and explain the reason.

Zhang Tianyu said: "That is, we are trapped in the mountains? ”

Zhou Xiaolan said apologetically: "I'm sorry, this time the snowstorm is too big, the cable car can't be used, the people below can't get up, and the people above can't get down." However, in general, the cable car can be reused in a few days, and everyone can go down the mountain by then. Fortunately, the material reserves of the Big Tiger Hotel are sufficient, which can last for a long time, and everyone does not have to worry about not being able to live at all. ”

Zhang Tianyu bowed his head slightly, and muttered to himself: "Why are you so unlucky, there is a violent storm outside, we are trapped in one place, a typical isolated island environment, and it is most likely to be a homicide!" ”

"For example, "The Golden Field One Juvenile Incident, the Legend of Bo Zhixue Ling, and the Murder Incident."

Zhang Tianyu turned his head to look over, but it was a middle-aged man who was talking, he smiled and said: "Meeting is fate, everyone might as well introduce themselves to each other, get to know each other, and those who have grudges can avoid it as soon as possible to avoid murder." ”

What he said was a bit of a joke, and all of a sudden the uneasy emotions of everyone being trapped on the top of the mountain were dissipated.

The middle-aged man spoke first: "I am a writer named Zhuo Siwen, and I came here to draw materials. ”

Everyone introduced themselves one after another.

The young man next to Zhuo Siwen said, "I am a mountaineering enthusiast, and my name is Yun Ping'an. ”

A tall bearded man next to Yun Ping'an said, "My name is Zou Ping, and I'm here for a vacation." ”

The young woman next to Zou Ping said, "I'm also here for a vacation, my name is Wang Mengxin." ”

Zhou Xiaolan smiled: "Everyone knows me, right?" But let me introduce it a little more. I am the owner of the villa, and my name is Zhou Xiaolan. ”

It was Huo Xiake's turn and Huo Xiake, Huo Xiake first introduced: "My name is Huo Xiake, and I came to ski with my friends." ”

"My name is Hua Jiao, I accompany my friend to ski, she can't, I will, I'll teach her when the time comes. Unfortunately, there was a snowstorm on the first day, and I couldn't go skiing. ”

In the blink of an eye, it was Zhang Tianyu's turn, he didn't seem to like dealing with people very much, but on this occasion, it was better to go with the flow, so he said: "Zhang Tianyu, come for a vacation." ”

Now that they met, everyone chatted lively, and no one went back to the room. After five o'clock, Zhou Xiaolan beckoned everyone to go to the restaurant for dinner. The meals are buffet-style, mostly Northeast characteristic dishes, mainly stewed, not much fried, but this can keep the heat of the dishes, avoid cold, become unpalatable.

After eating, Zhou Xiaolan asked everyone not to go back to the room first, because due to the power outage, the heating could not be used, and the fireplace had to be used, and the fireplace had to be repaired first, which was expected to take a little time.

Everyone is bored, and it is better to stay in the warm hall than to go back to the cold room. Everyone mostly got together to chat and play cards, but Zhang Tianyu was the only one who didn't fit in and stayed alone to read a book.

In order to avoid startling the snake, Huo Xiake and Hua Jiao did not contact Zhang Tianyu, but secretly observed him and the situation around him to see if there was anything abnormal.

After a while, I really saw the problem.

Huo Xiake whispered to Hua Jiao: "Something is wrong with the one named Zou Ping, he stares at Zhang Tianyu from time to time, and his eyes are not very friendly. ”

Hua Jiao nodded and said, "Let's keep an eye on it, let's take action if something is wrong - although we are only in charge of investigation and not responsible for security, but we can save people." ”

Huo Xiake said: "I really don't see that you have such a sense of justice." ”

"Do you think I'm a ruthless person?"

"Not really. Remember, when the time comes, you don't do it, I'll do it. I was a police officer and had studied martial arts. ”

Hua Jiao shook his head slightly and didn't say much.

At around nine o'clock, Zhou Xiaolan announced that the fireplaces in all rooms had been overhauled and had been lit for heating, and everyone could now go back to sleep.

Zhang Tianyu was the first to put down his book and walked to the corridor of the accommodation area.

Huo Xiake and Hua Jiao glanced at each other, and then got up and went over, and they saw Zhang Tianyu enter room 208, a little away from them.

The others also returned, and they could not stay in the corridor any longer to observe, so they went back to their rooms, washed up briefly, and went to bed.

Unlike Huo Xiake, who was able to sleep soundly next to the pillow, Hua Jiao had insomnia again.

The unfamiliar environment made his PTSD sequelae inevitably start, very painful, tossed for a long time, Hua Jiao stiffened his head, hugged the pillow and quilt, opened the door, and knocked on the door of Huo Xiake's room opposite.

The door opened quickly - Huo Xiake slept quickly, his alertness was also high, and he could wake up and react quickly at the slightest movement.

She was wearing a thick pajamas, her face was full of displeasure, and she asked, "What are you doing?" ”

"I can't sleep, can I sleep with you?" Hua Jiao said seriously.

These words, put in other scenes, are close to courtship, but Huo Xiake knew Hua Jiao's character and problems, sighed and said, "Come in." ”

Hua Jiao was about to come in, when suddenly there was a sound in the distance, and he and Huo Xiake both heard it, and turned their heads to look at it together. But because it was too far away and because of the power outage, it was pitch black and I couldn't see anything.

After that, there was no movement.

They retracted their eyes, entered Huo Xiake's room together, and closed the door.
