Chapter 27 "Ghost Train" Incident (5K 2-in-1)(2/2)

The train looked like the old one when the Imperial Steam Train was first invented. Some people said that what they saw was a train that was as black as ink with only two beams of light shining out in the night. Others said that it looked exactly the same as it does now, but

There were only three or four sections, and I saw an inexplicable white mist where my vision disappeared... The speed was also different, some said it was galloping by, some said it was moving forward slowly..."

"What's even more outrageous is that the Smith family called the police four years ago. Since they had been troubled by the 'ghost train' for a long time, and their shared experiences were questioned by people around them, they built a small house next to the railway and took turns staying there for several months.

For a long time... One day, when my son was sleeping next to the railway in the middle of the night, he was suddenly awakened by the sound of a train again. What he saw that night was an old-fashioned steam train with only a few sections, swaying and moving slowly. He ignored his family by the window of the building.

He shouted to dissuade him, rushed to the railway track and jumped on the train, and then after traveling a short distance, the train suddenly disappeared out of thin air with him..."

"Because this sighting involved a missing person issue, the Police Security Bureau had to dispatch an investigation. However, the result of the investigation was that the Smiths only have one daughter and there is no so-called younger son, so we determined that this was caused by hysteria..."

"Well...if camera technology became more popular, there might be a lot fewer such incidents." Fan Ning said with a smile, tapping his fingers on the table, "But the description is sensational enough, mysterious and interesting enough."

The old police officer nodded in agreement: "In general, due to the lack of group evidence and the different descriptions of witnesses, the credibility of this matter is very low, and I have never heard anyone react like this in the past three or four years.

It happened, but many travelers are interested in such conversations in the tavern..."

Speaking of this, he smiled easily: "But if you, the officers, need to stay in the small town, I would recommend the 'Gogol's Great Hotel' in the north. This is the most luxurious hotel in the small town, with well-decorated, broad views and considerate service.

Guests from big cities may be more accustomed to staying here, and what’s interesting is that one of the guest rooms can see abandoned railroad tracks, so perhaps the officers will be the ones to witness the next ‘ghost train’.”

After the two parties chatted for more than half an hour, Fan Ning declined the suggestion of the Police Security Bureau to provide a meal. It was already dark when he walked out of the door. He took Xilan and Qiong to find a unique local restaurant. After a good meal,

Drive to "Gogol's Great Hotel".

The rare box-type car and the decent attire of the three people made the two waiters dare not show any signs of neglect. They trotted over, helped carry their belongings, and guided them all the way to the front desk.

"Sir, how many rooms do you need?"

In the palace-style hall, the female front desk staff asked politely.

"Two larger rooms." Fan Ning said, "Stay here for one night, and then I need a room on the north side with a higher floor."

"A pound and ten shillings, sir."

Fan Ning was surprised and said: "Isn't it 12 shillings per room on the public notice board?"

The receptionist reached out and turned the sign aside: "Rooms above the third floor on the north side need to be charged an additional 25%, sir."

She winked in a friendly and polite manner, with "you know" written all over her face.

...Good guy. Fan Ning was full of complaints in his heart and was too lazy to talk to her. He handed over the banknotes and silver coins.

Is this hotel turning urban legends into a business?

After completing the check-in formalities, the three of them walked up the stairwell covered with luxurious carpets.

Joan asked: "Caron, will you come and play with us tonight?"

Fan Ning lowered his head and glanced at his pocket watch: "It's past eight o'clock. I still have to take some time to write new songs every day. I'm very inspired today. You should go to bed early. The departure time will be earlier tomorrow.

Qiong looked at Fan Ning in disbelief: "You have just written two such powerful works, have you got new inspiration?"

Fan Ning added: "Also, remember that we are here to investigate. To be cautious, don't go out alone at night."

"Don't worry, I will take good care of her." Xilan took Qiong's hand.

"Okay...Caron, if you are hungry tonight, you can come and knock on our door." Joan said.

When the two little girls were about to enter the guest room next door, she turned to Fan Ning and asked: "What if...I mean if...one of us hears the train tonight, what should we do?"
