5. Monitoring
Chapter 5
A chill jumped up Ke Bei's back, and the whole person was stunned. After standing for a while, she gritted her teeth and took a step forward, and sure enough, there was no sound, the feeling was very strange, as if she was in a silent isolation cover, except for her own heartbeat and speech, what you do is like acting in a silent movie.
It was pitch black outside the window, and Ke Bei was just about to go over to see what was going on outside, when suddenly!
"Squeakββ!
There was a tooth-aching scratching sound in my ears!
Ke Bei chuckled in her heart, at this time she would rather not hear anything. Ke Bei followed the sound and looked towards the bathroom, only to see a black shadow flash out of it at a very fast speed!
Ke Bei's whole person is not good, but fortunately, because of regular exercise, her body has begun to operate before her thinking, and she ran out of the door with her legs! The moment she closed the door, there was a violent vibration - something hit the door!
Ke Beitou didn't reply, and took out the strength to rush 500 meters and rushed to the emergency channel!
Unexpectedly, as soon as I pushed open the passage door, I bumped into something head-on, and I was already in a state of high tension, so I was scared of her "ah" scream, regardless of 3721, I scratched it directly with my eyes closed! It's a pity that before she could show her might, her wrist was suddenly imprisoned by a warm and soft thing!
Kebei's scalp was numb, her eyelids were closed, and her teeth trembled.
ββ¦β¦ Hiss! Pain! β
A deep male voice, an unfamiliar tone.
- Someone!
Ke Bei opened her eyes excitedly, only to see a strange man looking down at her, one hand clasping her wrist - she seemed to have scratched someone!
It was too dark, Ke Bei couldn't see his appearance clearly, subconsciously broke away and took a step back, clear footsteps resounded through the corridor, she was stunned, and listened carefully, the sound of the children downstairs was faintly coming, and all the sounds seemed to be back......
"Are you alright?" Seeing that Ke Bei was stunned and not moving, the man asked a little strangely, and without waiting for Ke Bei to answer, he said again: "Huh? Why is it so dark on this floor? β
"We ...... This layer? Ke Bei chuckled in her heart: "Isn't it a power outage?" β
The man pushed open the door and said, "No, don't you see the elevator is still on?" β
The yellow indicator light on the elevator door was particularly eye-catching in the darkness - Ke Bei ran away just now, but she didn't pay attention to it.
The man walked to open the electrical box, "It should have tripped, I'll take a look." β
As soon as the words fell, there was a soft "click".
The whole world lit up.
Ke Bei saw the man's appearance clearly - he looked like he was twenty-five or sixteen years old, with healthy wheat-colored skin, deep eyebrows and eyes, and the light on his face was divided into several pieces by the distinct facial features, looking particularly tough and handsome.
Ke Bei felt a little familiar, but she couldn't tell where she had seen it.
It wasn't until he walked past that he vaguely smelled a very special fragrance, and then he remembered that the two of them seemed to have met in the elevator before. As she got closer, Ke Bei saw several red scratches on his armsβscratched by her.
"That...... Thanks, and, excuse me, are you okay? Ke Bei's face burned a little, "I just thought you were a ...... ghost."
"It's okay," Xie Mo smiled, "My name is Xie Mo, I live upstairs from you, they are all neighbors, usually if you need help with anything, just come up and call." β
"Okay, okay."
Ke Bei thought to herself that this neighbor was too good at talking, her nails were quite long, and she was so energetic that she heard him cry out in pain just now, and she even said that it was okay.
"My surname is Ke, and I just moved here." Ke Bei pointed to her door and said very sincerely: "Thank you so much just now!" β
Xie Mo touched his nose, he seemed a little embarrassed, Ke Bei saw that he was carrying a black plastic in his hand, probably going downstairs to throw out the garbage, so he didn't dare to delay anyone any longer. After saying goodbye, she looked back again and found that Xie Mo had actually gone upstairs.
It turned out that it was not to take out the garbage.
Ke Bei subconsciously glanced at the black plastic bag, I don't know if it was an illusion, the plastic bag seemed to be ...... Moved.
Ke Bei felt that she was a little suspicious, probably because she had been frightened into a nervous breakdown just now. She looked at the tiny blood stain on the back of her hand, and thought of the strange thing that happened to Hong Fuquan on the morning of his death......
Whoever dares to tell her that this is an illusion again, she will fight with whom!
Ke Bei thought of the "black shadow" that she had locked in the house just now, and stood at the door for a long time and didn't dare to open the door. I originally wanted to go to Yang Hui's house to borrow a night, but when I knocked on the door, I found that she was not there tonight.
It was almost eleven o'clock, and Ke Bei didn't dare to enter the door, so she finally sat downstairs in the garden for the night. It wasn't until six o'clock the next day, when the sun came out, that I went home.
The lights are still on and the home is clean.
Ke Bei nervously checked it again, and after making sure that there was really nothing, she lay on the bed and squinted for half an hour. At eight o'clock, he got up like a dead dog, washed and went to work.
When I went out, I saw bags of buns at the door as usual - it was useless to post that note last time, and people didn't hang breakfast on her doorknob, but now it was directly on the floor!
Ke Bei got up early several times to arrest people, but the enemy was too cunning, as if she knew that someone was squatting, as long as she got up early, she would not put buns at the door.
Xiaomeng was taken aback when she saw Ke Bei in the company, "Ke Bei, are you sick?" Why is your face so bad? β
"Don't mention it," Ke Bei waved her hand, "something happened last night, and I didn't sleep all night." β
During the meeting, Ke Bei had been dozing off, Zhang Meiqi was the keynote speaker today, and the knife eye kept floating to this side, and her face was blue when the meeting ended.
Ke Bei went her own way, and when she returned to the office, she threw herself on the table and fell asleep.
Anyway, she is still in the "adaptation period", what can she do without work and sleep?
Ke Bei slept for a day, she was full of energy, her head was no longer dizzy, and then she looked at Zhang Meiqi's stinky face, and her mood also soared, and when she came home from work, she was jumping and jumping.
The good mood didn't last long, and disappeared as soon as she got home - the fat bear was gone!
If you think about it carefully, she hasn't seen the fat bear since the power outage last night, could it be that she forgot to close the door when she went out? Ke Bei didn't care about dinner, so she ran to find Yang Hui first.
"Cats? I didn't see it, you didn't know that I wasn't at home yesterday. Yang Hui saw that Ke Bei was sweating profusely, and she became anxious, "Why don't you think about it carefully, what did you do last night?" Have you ever been out of the house? β
Speaking of last night, Ke Bei subconsciously shuddered, thinking of the inverted black shadow, she suddenly had a guess in her heart......
Ke Bei felt that it was not a solution to hold this matter in her heart, so she said to Yang Hui: "Old Yang, let me tell you something......
β¦β¦
"Then according to you, you suspect that the fat bear was eaten by the 'black shadow'?"
Yang Hui was not good after listening to it.
"How else? I check it several times every time I go out, and it can't be a runaway. Ke Bei said.
"It's kind of interesting...... Yang Hui touched her chin, and suddenly sighed strangely, "No, I heard my sister say that there has been no one living upstairs for a long time, and one of my families has immigrated two years ago, and the other single room, that is, the one opposite your house, has not been rented out for several years." β
"Not rented?" Ke Bei's back was cold: "Why?" β
"Speaking of which, it has something to do with your encounter with evil last night," Yang Huishen said mysteriously: "I heard from the cleaning aunt of our building that your house is very evil, and several families have died who lived in it before!" Sometimes in the middle of the night, I will hear someone talking from above, and the cleaning aunt will take paper money upstairs to burn the ...... every New Year's holiday."
Ke Bei's lips turned white: "That, the person I saw last night......"
Yang Hui sighed meaningfully.
Ke Bei's whole person is not good!
Yang Hui said again: "Let's not scare ourselves first, huh...... Otherwise, let's go to the property first to look at the monitoring, maybe the fat bear really ran away when you weren't paying attention? β
That's all there is to it.
However, at this time, the property is off work early, so I can only wait until tomorrow to see it.
At night, Ke Bei refused to go home again, so she stayed here with Yang Hui for one night.
The next day was Friday, and Ke Bei specially took half a day off to come back to the property to see the surveillance.
The person in charge of monitoring is an uncle in his forties, thin and tall, holding a tea jar, wearing thick-bottomed glasses, and looking like a cadre.
Knowing that Ke Bei was here to find the cat, Mao Ye slowly cocked his legs: "If the cat is gone, post a notice, see what the monitoring is for." β
"Uh......" Ke Bei didn't know how to explain, but said, "I just want to know when I got lost." β
Mao Ye sighed and didn't say anything more.
When she turned on the computer to adjust the monitoring, Ke Bei had a flash of inspiration and asked, "Master Mao, can I take a look at the monitoring on the ninth floor of our building?" β
"No, you should be monitored by your family, huh? Without a special certificate, you can only look at your doorstep. β
"That'...... Is there anyone living on the ninth floor of our building? Ke Bei asked in a low voice.
Mao Ye: "Why are you asking?" β
Ke Bei hesitated for a moment, and said, "I met a man last night who said that he would live upstairs with me, but I heard that no one has lived there for many years, so I'm worried about ......."
Mao Ye glanced at her, then turned his head and opened the drawer, took out the registration booklet, and flipped through it for a long time.
"Yo, what a coincidence!" Mao Ye said, "Someone lives, it's a young man surnamed Xie, and he moved in the same day as you." β
Ke Bei scolded Yang Hui in her heart, but after thinking about it, it was no wonder that Xie Mo moved in on the same day as her, so it was no wonder that Yang Hui didn't know.
But Ke Bei felt relieved most of his heart. Mao Ye helped her look through the surveillance, but in the end she still didn't find any clues about the fat bear.
Ke Bei just stood up in disappointment and was about to leave, Mao Yele seemed to suddenly see something interesting, and said to her happily: "Girl, you said that the young man on the ninth floor sends breakfast to your door every day, do you want to chase you?" β
