Someone called the guesthouse owner upstairs, saying that their room's water supply was cut off. His wife went to find the owner and never returned, so he wanted to know what was going on.
The guesthouse owner repeatedly apologized but said he hadn't seen the man's wife come downstairs.
The guesthouse's handyman was with her in the lobby the whole time, and she has already called the police because the guest from room 205 might have gotten lost outside.
The guesthouse is only so big, with a total of ten rooms upstairs and downstairs. The man whose wife was missing stayed in room 203. Just as I was thinking that he was right next door to us, there was a knock on the door.
This time, Chen Qinghan raised his hand to signal me to stay inside while he went over to open the door.
The one knocking was still the guesthouse owner, a charming woman particularly warm towards male customers.
She asked Chen Qinghan if he had heard the guest from room 203 go out.
