Chapter 143 "Kathy"
Chapter 143 "Kathy"
"Where can I find her then? I have something to tell her."
Liu Chi laughed. It seemed that they were close to solving the case. If they could do it quickly, they could return to Lilo tonight.
"Actually? This Cathy is a friend of mine. She went on a long trip a few days ago~"
The girl smiled at Liu Chi and said, "I don't know when she will come back. How about this, you tell me, and I will tell her when she comes back. How about that?"
Liu Chi looked at the girl's evasive and uneasy eyes and knew that she must be lying to him.
"I take it you are Casey?"
Liu Chi thought that this girl just happened to have the same name as Casey, and was not the Casey he was looking for.
"Puchi~" The girl laughed a little embarrassedly. After being exposed in front of others, she felt amused at her poor acting skills.
"I'm not Cathy. I already said Cathy is a friend of mine."
The girl refused to admit it.
At this time, with the sound of wooden footsteps, a middle-aged man came down from upstairs. He just glanced at the counter.
"Kathy! Ask Auntie to help me clean the room. I drank too much last night and vomited all over the floor. I just found it."
"Hey! Good!"
The girl answered subconsciously due to professional habit.
Then, the girl and Liu Chi fell silent.
Liu Chi shook his head, walked outside, and prepared to ask somewhere else.
While she was dazed, she saw the boy approaching the door. The girl quickly shouted,
"Hey! Who are you? What do you want from me?"
Liu Chi did not stop, but walked out following the sound. There was no need for him to waste time here.
"It's really sick!"
Seeing that Liu Chi didn't even turn his head, the girl complained, but after a moment of confusion, she returned to her normal work.
After having a quick breakfast, Liu Chi relied on his thick skin to spend the entire morning walking through the entire Fourth Street.
I thought there were several families named Cathy, but I didn't expect that on the whole street, only the hotel's sign lady was called Cathy.
Seeing that it was almost noon, Liu Chi returned to the hotel he had been in early in the morning to eat and investigate.
After entering the door, I saw a lot of people sitting on the first floor, apparently waiting for lunch.
After Liu Chi took a quick look around the lobby, he walked straight to the hotel counter.
Seeing that the person at the counter was a middle-aged woman, Liu Chi smiled.
"Sister, is Kathy here?"
"Oh?"
When the aunt saw Liu Chi's unfamiliar face, she became alert for a moment.
"Are you a friend of Kathy's?"
"No, I just have something to ask her."
"Well, I don't know where she went~"
The aunt smiled and said that it seemed that the boy in front of her had ulterior motives and there was no need for her to do such a meaningless thing.
Liu Chi saw some snobbery and rejection of himself in the aunt's eyes.
Liu Chi flipped his hand and a gold coin appeared in his hand. He placed the coin on the counter.
"I just have something to do with Casey, why are you doing this to me?"
Seeing a gold coin appear out of thin air in Liu Chi's hand, the aunt immediately recognized that the silver ring was a space ring, and her attitude towards Liu Chi changed 180 times.
As the old lady spoke, she put the gold coins into her pocket.
"Kathy? Her? She's resting on the third floor!"
As she spoke, the aunt took out an iron key and placed it in front of Liu Chi.
"Female staff dormitory~Don't worry, she's alone."
Liu Chi looked around and after confirming that there was nothing unusual, he put the key into the space ring.
He walked around the counter and went upstairs along the wooden stairs.
After walking up two flights of stairs, Liu Chi saw the female staff dormitory at the end of the corridor.
Liu Chi took out the key, hesitated for a while, and knocked on the door.
After knocking several times and hearing no response, Liu Chi opened the door.
The sunlight was blocked by the window screen, and only a little light shone into the room through the gaps. A strange smell wafted into the dim room.
This smell is probably the smell of sweaty feet, with a hint of girl's body fragrance.
Liu Chi saw Cathy lying on the bed near the door. She had her eyes closed and was sleeping quietly.
Out of politeness, Liu Chi did not wake up Casey directly, but sat on the small chair beside the bed, closed his eyes, and sorted out the information in his brain.
Because the new holy weapon and fireworks have been designed in the spiritual sea, what Liu Chi has to do now is to rescue Ben, so there is no need to wake up Casey in a hurry.
Hearing the sound of a woman stretching next to her ear, Liu Chi opened his eyes and saw Casey turning over, sitting up from the bed, rubbing his eyes with his hands.
"Hello! Casey!"
Liu Chi took the initiative to greet.
Casey was startled by the male voice in the dormitory, because this is the dormitory for female employees.
After seeing clearly that the source of the male voice was the strange boy in the morning, Casey subconsciously covered his chest and huddled into a ball.
"Who are you? What do you want to do?"
"Do you know Ben?"
"What Ben? I don't know."
Seeing that Casey answered without thinking, Liu Chi thought it was Casey's self-defense, so he emphasized again,
"Think carefully, did you know a man named Ben a long time ago? You even wrote letters to each other."
Cathy stretched her body. She was sure that Liu Chi had found the wrong person. She had no impression of Ben at all.
Without answering Liu Chi immediately, Casey got out of bed and opened the curtains. The sunlight outside had already dimmed, and the evening breeze blew on her face, making her feel very comfortable.
After feeling the wind for a while, Casey turned around and saw Liu Chi waiting for his reply, and laughed.
"Then you may have recognized the wrong person. I don't know any Ben."
Liu Chi looked at Casey and shook his head in disappointment.
"Hehe~" When Casey saw Liu Chi's disappointment, he felt an inexplicable sense of pleasure in his heart and turned around and lay on the windowsill.
Liu Chi looked at Casey's back, a little dazed. He thought Casey had used some means to change her appearance, but now it seems that this is not the case.
Just when she turned around with a smile, Liu Chi discovered that Casey's expression was very similar to Casey in the painting.
While wondering, Liu Chi took out the scroll.
Casey whistled, ready to start work after dinner, and turned around to see Liu Chi staring at the scroll in his hand.
Out of curiosity, Casey walked behind Liu Chi, put his hand on Liu Chi's shoulder without any hesitation, and took a closer look.
"This is? How did you get a portrait of my mother?"
Liu Chi suddenly seemed to have an idea. Yes! Maybe she is her daughter.
Looking at Casey's shocked face, Liu Chi immediately asked,
"Is this your mother? Where is she now?"
"Haha~"
After being shocked for a moment, Cathy laughed, and her laugh was like a mockery.
Casey turned and sat on the bed, looking at the scenery outside through the window with lifeless eyes. It was a long time before she said a word.
"It's already dead~ hehe~"
