B-level director

Chapter 52 Stump

They returned to the hotel, slumped in the lobby, helpless.Xu Mengsi sat down beside Brother Qi.

After she removed her makeup once in front of everyone, she seemed to have shed her skin, and she no longer wore heavy makeup.The gray and dry hair that was neglected, the cheeks and bags under the eyes that did not get injections were sagging, and the wrinkles that could not be concealed were vertical and horizontal on the forehead. This old face was much more pleasing to the eye.Previously, Cheng Tianlu only thought of her as a humanoid bosom walking around. Thinking about it carefully, Xu Mengsi and Qi Geer have similar temperaments. They both have a kind of nervousness that is not easy to be subdued. head.Just staying in Brother Qi's B-movie was delayed.

Brother Qi was concerned: "It's boring here, why don't you go back to Beijing first?"

Xu Mengsi shook her head: "It's not boring. I heard from those two boys that you asked for a video and went to the government?"

"Uh, it's useless, people just refuse to admit it."

"Have you asked the people in the hotel? The doorman on the night shift told me that Tong Yiru left at three or four o'clock in the middle of the night. She was alone, not with anyone else, and no one picked her up."

Cheng Tianlu and Qi Geer almost jumped up, "Did she walk by herself?"

Xu Mengsi raised her feet nonchalantly: "I don't know what she's doing. Just ignore her, she will come back by herself when the time comes."

Cheng Tianlu and Brother Qi looked at each other in blank dismay, and Tong Yiru walked out by himself in the middle of the night, which didn't mean he wasn't threatened.But why is it midnight?If Tong Yiru encountered danger on the way out, it would be even more complicated.

Early the next morning, as soon as Brother Qi opened his eyes, he said he was going to visit the abandoned mansion.Cheng Tianlu thought it was useless work: "Why are you going there? Don't worry, someone must be more anxious than us now, maybe they have already found her."

"You mean Uncle Hai?"

"Hey, Uncle Hai doesn't care about anything. He's afraid of accidents, and he doesn't want to offend the government, so he just hides in his shell and waits for us to make trouble."

"You are prejudiced against Uncle Hai."

After they had breakfast, Xiao Hu appeared in the hotel.Brother Qi suddenly realized: "He is the one who is in a hurry." Cheng Tianlu's intimidation worked, and Xiao Hu didn't dare to delay any longer in order to calm the incident, so he dug three feet to find Tong Yiru.

Xiao Hu came to the two of them with a smile on his lips and vigilance in his eyes, and handed a piece of paper to Cheng Tianlu without saying a word.There is a very clear road map, which records Tong Yiru's whereabouts at each point in time.She didn't go anywhere, but actually stayed in another hotel two streets away.

"Thank you!" Cheng Tianlu smiled.

Xiao Hu: "I found it for you, you know how to do it." He glanced at Brother Qi and left the hotel.

The two breathed a sigh of relief.In the lobby, Ban Wu and Ling Lingjiu were overjoyed, "You two have solved the case now, awesome." Cheng Tianlu sighed, "It's still far from solving the case. Why did you go to that hotel? You went there alone. Or was it coerced? Let’s go get him back now, and then you all pack your bags immediately, we are not welcome here, and to see what Xiao Hu means, it’s best to get out today.”

"What about the two screenwriters?" They are not really criminal police officers, so what can they do?Xiao Hu found Tong Yiru in a few clicks. Why did the screenwriter disappear for so long and attracted a lot of media, but remained silent?The reasons for this cannot be contemplated.

The four people on Chengtian Road immediately followed the address and walked to the small hotel.The location is not far, just 15 minutes walk.The waiter called the room but no one answered.Cheng Tianlu said: "Our train will leave in an hour, my friend may have overslept, can you wake her up?"

The hotels in Xiaocheng are not so strict, and the few of them came to the door smoothly.After ringing the doorbell for a long time, there was still no answer.Brother Qi called the older sister who was cleaning on the same floor: "Can you open the door for us? I lost the room card."

Without further ado, the eldest sister unlocked the door for them.Brother Qi pushed the door halfway and then stopped. There was a pungent chemical smell in the room.He and Cheng Tianlu exchanged glances, then slowly pushed open the door.

There was no one in the room, and there was a square object in the middle of the big bed.

They leaned forward to take a closer look, and for a moment no one spoke, no one understood what it was, until Brother Qi said: "Is this true?!" Everyone got goosebumps all of a sudden!Ban Wu exclaimed loudly, his feet went limp, and he collapsed to the ground.Ling Lingjiu was at a loss for words: "Tong...Tong Yiru..."

A severed palm lying alone on the bed was carefully placed on the silver box, like an expensive gift.There was a moment of blankness in Tianlu's mind. He had seen many broken limbs, but none of them belonged to acquaintances.Regret gnawed at him like a worm, if he didn't sit on the sidelines self-righteously, if he could be more positive...

Brother Qi said beside him: "This hand is male."

Cheng Tianlu was taken aback, and when he came back to take a closer look, the palm had been dehydrated, but the size of the palm was indeed more like a man's.He mustered up his courage, took out a handkerchief as a protective layer, and gently touched the severed hand.The palm feels stiff and strange to the touch. Looking carefully, it turns out that the muscles, connective tissue, and nerve tissue of the palm have all been removed, and the inside is filled with artificial fillers.

"This is... a human specimen."

Tong Yiru didn't bring it back, they brought back a carful of policemen.Not long after, Xiao Hu also came, with an extremely ugly face, as if it was his hand that was chopped off.Others were in a worse condition than him. Ban Wu almost collapsed, and he kept silent when asked; Ling Lingjiu kept wiping his sweat and drinking water.Brother Qi stared at the floor in a daze with his eyes behind the mirror.He has filmed countless bloody scenes and made various props and internal organs. This is the first time he has seen real severed limbs, carefully cared for and processed into specimens—are they facing a real pervert?

Xiao Hu is no longer polite to Cheng Tianlu: "You guys leave here today, I don't want to see a word of this matter appear on the Internet."

Cheng Tianlu smiled wryly: "People are missing or dead. Let's sew up the mouth. Let's forget about it? If Tong Yi has a head and face, we leave with our tails between our legs, and other people will come to ask for an explanation. "

"I'll take care of the aftermath."

"Human life is at stake. There are already victims. No matter how you clean up the mess, it can't be called good aftermath..."

"Cheng Tian Lu," Xiao Hu interrupted him, approached him fiercely, and said softly, "I have ten thousand things to deal with every day, and I'm tired of playing with you until now. You are nothing here , but at least, for the time being, he is still a complete person... Do you think about what that palm means?"

Cheng Tianlu felt a chill, and placed the severed limbs in the room like arranging flowers, it was a warning.Cheng Tianlu couldn't tell who he was warning. The only thing he knew for sure was that Xiao Hu was threatening him.

Xiao Hu scanned the circle of people in the lobby, but didn't say another word.

Naturally, Cheng Tianlu and Qi Ge'er were unwilling to leave, and it was impossible to leave Tong Yiru behind. Their eyes met, and Qi Ge'er crossed his index fingers, indicating "can't go", Cheng Tianlu shook his head slightly.

Just as the two sides were at a stalemate, a pair of sneakers stepped on the fiber carpet of the hotel.On the sneakers were a pair of black and thin legs. These legs stopped and walked towards Brother Qi.It was the man who drove the helicopter, still wearing a Uniqlo T-shirt and shorts, with narrow eyes and a high nose, and his hair shaved like a monk. At first glance, he looked like a homeless homeless man.

"Mr. Sangnan, we meet again," Cheng Tianlu shook hands with the man.Sang Nan was full of joy, showing the new tattoo on his arm, and said to Qi Geer: "Peacock. I will keep it on my body forever." The tattoo artist trimmed it on the basis of Qi Geer's graffiti, the peacock Its appearance is not so ferocious anymore, and its colors are as colorful as ancient monsters.Brother Qi: "Very beautiful."

"The tattoo artist praised the neat and clean lines, I like it very much." "Mr. Painter, I ask you to draw a big picture of a peacock, please agree."

Brother Qi was noncommittal, but Cheng Tianlu patted his thigh in his heart: This time there is salvation!He immediately replied: "Mr. Sang Nan came to ask for a painting in person, what reason do you have for refusing?"

Sang Nan looked at Brother Qi, who nodded.

Xiao Hu's face was covered with dark clouds, and he came to greet him bravely, folded his hands and bowed: "Wu Sangnan, I wish you good luck." This is the way of greeting high-ranking people in Myanmar.

"Secretary Hu is here. I didn't see it. I'm sorry." When he said he was sorry, Sang Nan's tone didn't sound apologetic. Cheng Tianlu thought to himself, this Sang Nan and Brother Qi have similar temperaments, and they are both generally self-centered.

Xiao Hu: "Wu Sangnan knows the director and editor from Beijing?"

"Ah, you are from Beijing. I have very few Chinese friends in the north. It's nice to meet you."

Cheng Tianlu: "This is Brother Qi, you can call me Tianlu. Brother Qi, how long does it take to draw a peacock?"

"Quickly, ten days and a half months."

"Oh, it didn't take long." Cheng Tianlu looked at Xiao Hu.Xiao Hu gritted his teeth, how did this group of people know Sang Nan?You can't offend this great god because of this matter, you can only allow them to stay for two more weeks.He glared at Cheng Tianlu and left angrily.Cheng Tianlu laughed behind him and said, "Secretary Hu walks slowly, auspiciously, the Peacock Goddess really blesses all beings, and may everyone be safe and whole."

Sang Nan made an appointment with Brother Qi and left.Brother Qi asked: "Who is this Sang Nan? How do you know his name?"

"Just check the helicopter number. He is a big businessman in Myanmar and has a lot of business in China. This is his permanent residence. There is a large food processing factory on the outskirts of the city. More than 1 people in the county eat his family's meals. This time we are lucky to have a tycoon next to us."

"Now we have two weeks."

Cheng Tianlu shook his head: "We are not jobless refugees, there are a lot of things in the unit, you have to go back to catch up with the progress, right?"

Brother Qi was helpless: "I only planned to come out for a week."

"It's been three days now, we're running out of time. And that Halfhand..."

Qi Geer understood what he meant.Even if the owner of the severed hand is alive, he must be in a miserable condition. They can put aside their work to find someone, but does the murderer have that much patience?
