Lolo
The child buried his head in He Lizhou's arms and just sobbed without saying a word. By the time everyone pushed open the door of Room 233, He Lizhou already felt that his clothes on his chest were wet.
He Lizhou was at a loss as to what to do, but Peng Ningyu rushed over after hearing the noise. When she saw the child's appearance, she couldn't help but think of Li An, who had stayed with them for a few days before, and her heart softened.
Peng Ningyu reached out and took the little boy from He Lizhou's arms, carrying him out of the guest room to avoid a second blow.
The little boy lay quietly in Peng Ningyu's arms until they entered the staff dormitory. Peng Ningyu put him on a chair and coaxed him softly, "What's your name?"
She had not paid attention to the little boy's appearance before, but now putting him on the chair, Peng Ningyu saw that the child was very handsome, delicate and cute, with a chubby face, big round eyes, and tears hanging on his long eyelashes. At this moment, his eyes were blank, as if he had not yet recovered from the shadow of his "father's" death.
He stammered for a while, then answered Peng Ningyu in a low voice, "Ming Luoluo."
Peng Ningyu smiled and said, "Are you hungry, Luoluo? I'll bake you a small cake."
Ming Luoluo glanced at Peng Ningyu timidly, with a hint of anticipation in her eyes, and asked in a low voice: "Really? Can I have two?"
Peng Ningyu was so touched by his cuteness that she ruffled his fluffy chestnut hair. "Of course! I'll do it right now. Just stay here obediently."
Ming Luoluo smiled, with two dimples at the corners of her mouth, and said sweetly, "Okay!"
When Peng Ningyu closed the door, the smile on Ming Luoluo's face immediately fell. He slid down from the chair, stood sideways by the window, and watched Peng Ningyu enter the hotel kitchen from the back door of the hotel.
Ming Luoluo was sure that there was no one else here. He had previously investigated which employees were in the hotel. Even though there seemed to be two more people when he arrived, those two people were busy in the hotel and had no time to return to the dormitory.
Ming Luoluo indifferently confirmed the location of each employee before gently walking to the desk in Peng Ningyu's room. He did not fiddle with the things piled on the desk, but only scanned the forensic medicine textbooks with his eyes.
He realized that it was indeed just a forensic medicine textbook, so for the first time, when no one was around, he showed a puzzled expression.
Peng Ningyu's desk was clean and tidy, and the things were arranged into categories. Ming Luoluo looked at the things on the desk and then set his eyes on the drawer.
He thought for a moment, looked out the window again, and finally reached out and grabbed the drawer, exerting a little force and pulling it out.
However, what was inside was beyond Ming Luoluo's expectations. It was not the hotel secret he had imagined, but a venomous snake with its head raised, ready to attack!
Ming Luoluo's pupils shrank and he pushed the drawer back suddenly, inevitably making a dull collision sound.
Ming Luoluo immediately turned around and looked around the room, staring at the door, then remembered that all the employees were not in the dormitory building, and then he relaxed.
After this incident, Ming Luoluo didn't dare to touch Peng Ningyu's things anymore. He calculated that the time was almost up, so he had to sit back in his chair and wait for Peng Ningyu to come back.
He had just sat back in his chair when the door was suddenly opened and Xuan Tiancheng poked his head in with a dazed face. He was worried that something had happened to Peng Ningyu, so he rushed over before he woke up. It turned out that the person in the room was not Peng Ningyu, but a child about four years old.
Xuan Tiancheng woke up immediately and was stunned, "Where's your mother?"
Ming Luoluo was a little surprised and nervous at first, but when she heard Xuan Tiancheng's words, she was also stunned, "Mom?"
Xuan Tiancheng finally reacted, his eyes showing vigilance. He walked into the room, closed the door behind his back, and looked around the room vigilantly. He didn't find any obvious signs of rummaging, but he didn't dare to take it lightly.
Ming Luoluo didn't know who this person was. The information he had inquired about did not include such a person. Although he was a little confused at first, he could tell from the action of closing the door later that this person was actually quite smart, so he became secretly alert.
He estimated the possibility of him pouncing on the other person and poisoning him to death, but before he could compare the difference in strength between the two, he denied it himself.
The person he brought here died in this way. If the man opposite also died in this way, wouldn't it be obvious to everyone else that they were all killed by him, Ming Luoluo?
Ming Luoluo sat with his knees together, his hands placed obediently on his knees. With his appearance and the overalls he was wearing, anyone who came would think that he was a very harmless and ordinary child.
But Xuan Tiancheng is not a normal person. Except for those who are very close to him, he is suspicious of everyone. Even though Sheng Ju has become Ban Hefeng's direct disciple, Xuan Tiancheng only tried to accept him.
The two were still in a stalemate. Peng Ningyu brought a sweet little cake and pushed open the door, seeing the two, one big and one small, staring at each other.
Xuan Tiancheng had basically no interactions with them, and Peng Ningyu didn't know what he was doing here, but considering the relationship between Sheng Ju and Ban Hefeng, she still politely asked, "Why are you here?"
Xuan Tiancheng felt a little uncomfortable when he saw Peng Ningyu coming back. He touched his head and said, "I, I heard a loud noise upstairs and thought you were in trouble, so I came down to check, but I ran into this kid - who is he?"
Peng Ningyu didn't pay attention to Xuan Tiancheng's questioning tone, "Uh, there's a kid among the guests. I'll bring him along to keep him company for a while."
Xuan Tiancheng didn't know what to say. He had already seen Peng Ningyu holding the small cake, so he scratched his hair and said, "Then you should be careful. I'll go back first."
Peng Ningyu was a little confused about what he was doing. She watched him run away inexplicably and reached out to close the door.
She put the freshly baked cakes on the table and called Ming Luoluo to eat. Ming Luoluo picked up one and put it to his mouth.
After he ate one and a half, Peng Ningyu hadn't asked him what the sound that Xuan Tiancheng heard was about, so he slowly felt relieved, thinking that Peng Ningyu didn't care.
Unexpectedly, just when he was relieved, Peng Ningyu suddenly asked, "What was that sound that brother heard just now?"
Ming Luoluo turned her head to look at Peng Ningyu, her eyes were clear and pure, but in the eyes she met, there was a hint of scrutiny.
Peng Ningyu didn't directly ask Ming Luoluo what he was doing just now. Ming Luoluo calmed down and said, "I just..."
He thought quickly, "I just heard the sound of a snake. My father told me that if I heard this sound, I should throw the snake out of the room immediately. So I searched around the room for a few times and accidentally knocked over a chair."
He replied half-seriously, with a hint of fear in his eyes, "Sister, please move quickly. It's not safe here!"
Peng Ningyu looked at him quietly for a while, and finally showed a comforting smile, "It's okay, sister is not afraid, and you don't have to worry about sister, just eat the cake."
Ming Luoluo nodded, lowered her head, and stuffed the remaining half of the cake with difficulty. But she was wondering in her heart whether Peng Ningyu believed it or not.

"Ningyu, bring Luo Luo out."
He Lizhou knocked three times on Peng Ningyu's door, and only left when he heard some movement inside.
Peng Ningyu came out holding Ming Luoluo, who still had cake crumbs on the corner of his mouth. She was a little surprised to see everyone outside the door. "Why are you all here? Why don't we just go over there?"
He Lizhou lowered his eyes and glanced at Ming Luoluo, "I was thinking, otherwise..."
Before he finished speaking, Mi Tao pushed him aside and raised his voice to change He Lizhou's words, "We guess Luo Luo should be hungry, so we plan to have dinner early."
He Lizhou and the others were all shocked by Mi Tao's sudden action, but they didn't say anything and tacitly agreed with Mi Tao's statement, "Yes, Luo Luo, are you hungry?"
Ming Luoluo clearly felt that this was not what He Lizhou wanted to talk about at first, but looking at Mi Tao's expression, he also realized that he could not ask any more questions, so he shook his head and said, "Sister Ningyu baked a small cake for me. I just finished eating it. I'm not hungry."
Peng Ningyu held Ming Luoluo's hand tightly for a moment, but quickly relaxed. She had been with everyone for such a long time and had already felt their different reactions.
"The cakes are just snacks. We still need to eat. Luo Luo is the best. Let's go eat."
The well-behaved expression on Ming Luoluo's face gradually relaxed and became indifferent. He looked at the people in front of him, from He Lizhou's face, to Cui Shu, Rong Jia, Xu Zian, Jiang Jiang, and finally back to Mi Tao's face.
Mi Tao's eyelashes twitched slightly, and I almost thought he was going to break up, but I didn't expect that he would laugh again the next second, "Okay, let's go eat."

After Ming Luoluo slowly put the last bite of rice into his mouth, He Lizhou spoke, "Luoluo, we didn't have time to clean up your room. Can you stay in room 233 tonight?"
Ming Luoluo looked up, with a look of natural bewilderment on his face, "Dad really won't come back to live with me?"
Everyone fell silent after hearing this. Rong Jia's eyes became a little fierce for a moment, but he was lightly kicked by Peng Ningyu under the table, so he retracted his emotions.
He Lizhou looked at Ming Luoluo with a smile, "Luoluo, be good and be strong, okay."
Ming Luoluo looked at He Lizhou's expression, as if he wanted to see something, but He Lizhou's true thoughts were hidden so well. Ming Luoluo looked for a long time but didn't find anything different, so he slowly put down the spoon and slid down from the chair.
He left the restaurant with his head down, walked through the corridor, went down the stairs, and returned to room 233. During this time, no one called him, including Peng Ningyu.
After he left, Wenwen came out from her wrist and affectionately wrapped around Peng Ningyu's fingertips.
Uncle Cui still couldn't bear to watch this, so he leaned back on the chair.
When they were examining the body of the deceased, they had already become suspicious of Ming Luoluo. Later, Xuan Tiancheng came over and said that he heard noises coming from drawers when Ming Luoluo was alone in the room, which basically confirmed that there was something wrong with Ming Luoluo.
And the dinner I just had with Ming Luoluo was the last test.
Xu Zian moved closer to Ming Luoluo's position, lowered his head and smelled the clean bowl, which still emitted a pungent smell.
He coughed violently, choking and tears welling up in his eyes, "How spicy is this!"
He can eat spicy food, but he still can't stand the smell. But just now when Ming Luoluo was eating, he finished it all without changing his expression.
