Chapter 5: The Scarlet Scene
It seems that this old man really has nothing to do on weekdays, in addition to watching historical films, he also likes to watch ghost movies.
Naturally, I don't believe in ghosts and gods, so I don't think things will be so coincidental, this is just found in the eastern suburbs of the dam of a child's body, and here comes the news that a child was crying a few days ago.
Thinking about it another way, if these two things are superimposed, then it is not impossible that the body found in the dam in the eastern suburbs is the source of the "ghost scream" in this community at night.
Thinking of this, I glanced at the uncle, took out a pack of cigarettes from my pocket, smoked one and handed it to the uncle, and said with a smile: "Uncle, then you tell me about it, don't tell you, my mother and I only moved in last month, at first I thought it was a child crying, no, I was so frightened by what you said, I'm okay, don't frighten my mother." ”
The uncle took my cigarette a little embarrassed, and then sighed, and told me that the child's crying only started about two weeks ago, and it was strange to say, and the residents who heard the child's crying lived between 10 and 15 buildings, because the community was arranged vertically, so everyone was close.
At the beginning, according to those neighbors, the sound of the child's crying was very loud, but it was only for a while, and it was immediately gone, so the uncle rushed over after receiving the complaint, and he couldn't find the source of the crying sound.
I asked my uncle if this crying sound happens every day.
The uncle shook his head and said no, and the child's crying was very strong in the first few days, but in the next few days, it was very short, just like the child was tired of crying and stopped crying.
"Didn't you go door-to-door?" I continued.
When the uncle heard this, he seemed to think that I was blaming him, and immediately pointed to those floors as if he had eaten *, and said loudly: " Yes, why not, young man, you can't talk nonsense, I went to the middle of those floors on the third day to listen, there is indeed a child's crying, the next day I will go to the door with our neighborhood committee to find the birthplace of the cry, but I also met the ghost, we went door to door to find, the child is there, but their neighbors all testified to each other, saying that when the child was crying, they all came out and knocked on the door, you know, there are only a few children in a building, they all said that it is not their own child crying, oh yes, I also knocked on your door, that aunt, it should be your mother?”
When the uncle said this, my face immediately turned red, 504 was just made up by me casually, I didn't expect that there was really such an aunt......
But since the uncle has given me this ladder, I have no reason not to go down.
I nodded yes again and again, and then continued to say with interest: "Uncle, I won't tell you anything, I just came back from a business trip, and I panicked when I heard this, otherwise, the next time you go to check the child's crying, I will also go with you?"
I made a bet with myself, I bet that the child's crying should have completely disappeared a few days ago, so the uncle naturally would not take me to find the source of the cry, but if the uncle said that there are still children's crying in the past few days, then that is to say, the cry of children in this community for no reason has nothing to do with the murder of the dam in the eastern suburbs.
"Don't worry, young man, since last week, the screams of this ghost child have been gone, and I think maybe some family is disciplining the children, but they are afraid that we will know about them. ”
The reaction I received from my uncle was the same as I expected, that is, my guess was at least 70% sure that it was correct.
The ghost cry is not gone, but it will never be heard, because this "ghost child" is likely to be the same person as the child's body found in the eastern suburbs dam.
Because my identity in front of the uncle is a resident of Building 12 in this community, I have no reason to ask the uncle if he has been in and out with children in the near future.
But I don't think the murderer will be so stupid, walking out of this gate with his own "meat ticket" openly.
Therefore, I didn't say anything more to this uncle, just stuffed the pack of cigarettes in my pocket into this uncle's pocket, and then turned around and walked out of the door of this little-known duty room and walked towards the community.
When I was leaving, my uncle refused to accept my pack of cigarettes, and in desperation, I could only stuff the cigarette into his arms, and then run away.
After all, he gave me so much information, and my identity is also fake, so I will feel a little more at ease if I give something.
Three minutes later, I stood between the fifteen and thirteen buildings in this community, but I was surprised to find that Fang Yuan was already standing outside the last corridor of the fifteen buildings, as if he was engrossed in thinking about something.
Seeing me coming, Fang Yuan jumped out of his own thinking and immediately asked me if I had any valuable clues.
I nodded, and told Fang Yuan everything about the conversation I had just had with that uncle.
To be honest, although Fang Yuan is more like a ruffian in my eyes, and he always does things his own way, I have to admire his logical thinking ability, I can think of it, but he is always one step ahead of me.
Because I don't believe that it was an accident that we were here at the same time in such a large community, and I don't believe that he was at the scene at the time, and he resolutely inserted the scalpel into the lower abdomen of the corpse was willful.
After half a ring, Fang Yuan slowly raised his arm and touched the bridge of his nose, then raised the corners of his mouth, pointed to the building, and smiled at me: "What floor do you think?"
This community is very old, looking at the appearance, it seems that there are not 30 years but 20 years, this kind of community is not like the modern house we live in now, not only in the corridor there is no camera, even outside the door of the community, so we do not use the camera to check whether there is a stranger with the deceased into the community or even this building.
And the sound insulation effect of this kind of house is very poor, and the distance between the units is only a wall, if the "ghost scream" sound comes from the residents on the floor, let alone the next floor, it will be found upstairs and downstairs, so I don't think that the "ghost scream" sound comes from the house above the floor.
Fang Yuan's eyes and I moved to the gloomy garage below the stairs at the same time.
"I still underestimate you, it's a piece of material, do you dare to go and see it with me?" Fang Yuan's eyes looked directly at the depths of those residents' carports, and said slowly.
I looked at Fang Yuan in surprise, the idea that I was not sure about was seemed to be confirmed by his eyes.
Yes, if the distance between the buildings could clearly be heard from which building the children's cries came from, if it was in the garage...... Or in a certain layer of underground, it is normal for those people in the neighborhood committee and the old man to think of it.
In this way, Fang Yuan and I walked into the carport under the fifteen floors step by step, and as I walked, I asked, "Boss, how do you know that the scene of this first crime is in the fifteenth building?"
Before that, I hadn't had time to tell Fang Yuan about the ghost child crying, so I was particularly puzzled by how he knew about it.
Fang Yuan glanced at me, then smiled, and said softly, "Do you think that only that old man knows about the things in this community?"
I pursed my lips and stopped talking.
"After I determined these buildings, I went up to the rooftops of these floors, but on the rooftops of this floor, I found a few footprints, and the direction of the footprints is southeast, do you think, all this is a coincidence?"
After saying these words, Fang Yuan walked to the carport of the deepest part of the carport and stood outside the carport for about two or three minutes, then glanced sideways at me, saying that he smelled a smell of blood.
I swallowed, then grabbed a crowbar from inside the car and pried open the rusty carport door.
At the moment when the door opened, I was stunned on the spot, and the flashlight in my hand clicked and fell to the ground.
