Chapter 28: The sound of running in the hallway

"Eh, I haven't finished eating yet—"

After Bai Ming'an finished checking with the boss, he took out a banknote and handed it over, and glanced at me by the way: "You still have one minute." ”

Wow, there's no humanity left. I quickly chopped the rice, tried to put the last piece of braised pork in my mouth before leaving, and finally followed him out with my cheeks bulging like a frog.

We followed the young man into an old building, the lights were dim, and as I went up the stairs I stumbled straight into Bai Ming'an's back.

"Ah, I'm sorry!" I nervously reached out and quickly removed a grain of rice from his shirt. Fortunately, his attention was on tracking and he ignored me.

Walking to the fifth floor, the young man stopped and took out the key to open the door, but somehow he lingered there for a few minutes and did not open the door.

I poked my head out from behind Bai Ming'an and took a look: "Is he stupid, how can he open the door with chopsticks?" ”

Maybe it was because my voice was a little louder, but the young man heard it, looked down at the disposable chopsticks in his hand that had not been unpacked, and then turned his head to look at me and Bai Ming'an not far away.

"Who are you?"

"I-" Before I spoke, Bai Ming'an had already stepped forward, with a white shirt and black pants, one hand in his trouser pocket, looking indifferent and calm: "Have you been sleeping hard lately, and you heard strange noises at night?" ”

The young man was stunned for a moment, showing a panicked expression: "How do you know? ”

I blinked, and it turned out that his dark circles were not caused by excessive nightlife.

"It doesn't matter, the point is that I can help you with this." Bai Ming'an said.

"Ahh The young man hurriedly stretched out his hand: "Hello, my name is Wu Dongli." Bai Ming'an glanced at the hand, and didn't mean to shake it, Wu Dongli looked at me strangely.

"Uh." I said to him solemnly, "He's clean. ”

"Oh." After all, Wu Dongli is a young man with strong receptivity, so he nodded immediately: "It's understandable." Come in and talk about it. He turned around and opened the door with chopsticks, tried a few times before he reacted, laughed dryly, and finally took out the correct key and opened the door.

The room opened, revealing the clutter within. Desk, kettle, a large pile of books piled on the table, bedside, I glanced at it a few times, yo, this Wu Dongli turned out to be a graduate student.

"I'm sorry, it's a bit of a mess in the house." Wu Dongli was a little stunned and touched his head. Somehow, I always felt that his action was a bit inconsistent.

Wu Dongli looks white and thin, looking like he belongs to the kind of stubborn and stubborn type, and the action of touching his head seems honest and honest, nothing is right.

Bai Ming'an didn't say much, picked the cleanest chair in the room and sat down, his back straight: "You tell me about the situation, the more detailed, the better." ”

"Oh, good." Wu Dongli then sat down on the bed, "Here's the thing, I woke up in the middle of the night about half a month ago, and I heard the sound of running in the corridor, but when I went out to see, there was nothing, and then every day at the same time, I would be woken up." ”

I stood beside Bai Ming'an and couldn't help asking, "Could it be that you are too stressed and hallucinating?" "It's not that I'm exaggerating, those students who are going to graduate school and taking the doctoral exam are under a lot of pressure, and they have to be driven crazy a few times every few years.

Wu Dongli shook his head: "I thought I was too tired from studying, but for a few days I specially reduced my study time and went to bed early, and the sound of running still sounded in the middle of the night." ”

I frowned and looked at Bai Ming'an, but he looked calm, his eyes moved slightly, and he seemed to have a clue.

"It's just a little ghost, if I want to, I can solve it tonight."

Wu Dongli was pleasantly surprised: "Really? ”

Bai Ming'an said again: "Well, the fee is 50,000 yuan." Cash payment. ”

"W-what!" Wu Dongli's expression was stunned, and then as if he understood, he suddenly got up from the bed: "I know, you are also liars pretending to be ghosts!" You go, leave me at once! ”

Although he is thin, he is tall, and I can't resist driving people away in such a hurry, and Bai Ming'an walked out with an indifferent face, I also want to explain: "Don't be excited, we are professional-"

"Humph!" Wu Dongli took a sip, "Don't think I'll be fooled!" You're just as swaggering and deceiving as that stinky Taoist, get out! ”

Stinky Taoist, is it?

"Eh-"

Boom, a loud bang.

My heart and liver trembled, and I asked the people around me depressedly, "Can't you be tactful?" After thinking about it, he added, "Can't you not open your mouth?" ”

Bai Ming'an glanced at me: "Do you think he can't afford it?" ”

I tilted my head and thought about it, but not necessarily. The house where Wu Dongli lives is not very good, but the clothes on his body look very ordinary, and it is clearly a low-key brand-name goods, and there is a high-end watch thrown in his pile of books, which is well-known, at least worth five figures.

And then there's the limited-edition sneakers on his feet, so it seems that he really won't be poor.

"It's one thing to be able to afford it, but now people aren't happy to pay." I point out this fact.

Bai Ming'an was very casual: "I'll be happy when he is harassed for a few more nights, let's go." ”

I tugged at the corners of my mouth: "He doesn't have our contact information, how can he find us?" ”

"The restaurant."

Oh. This man looked cold, but he was quite thoughtful. I went down the stairs with him and asked, "So what are we going to do next?" I won't wait. ”

"I've got something to go out and give you a few days off."

"Where to go? I'll go with you. "My transparent body is all suppressed by him, and I feel safe with him.

At the dim staircase, Bai Ming'an's footsteps stopped, turned his head, the warm yellow light hit his fair and handsome side face, and his voice was faint: "Cemetery." ”

Cemetery! I opened my mouth wide and didn't expect him to say this place.

"You're going?"

The scene of the bus accident came to mind, the gurgling blood under the white thunder and lightning, the trembling coffin, and the miserable white figure crawling out of the bloodstained body.

I hurriedly shook my head and stammered: "No, no, no, no need!" I laughed dryly, "You can go by yourself, I'll take a holiday, a holiday, hehe." ”

Bai Ming'an didn't say anything, and walked out directly.

I let out a sigh of relief and got into the car with him, and he frowned when he started the car, and I asked, "What's wrong?" ”

"It's out of gas."

"Huh? How so? "I just filled it up a while ago, and I haven't opened much. I leaned over to look, and sure enough, I saw that the fuel gauge was close to the red line, "Why is it gone so quickly?" ”

I felt the warm breath on my cheeks, and as soon as I lifted my eyes, I met his dark eyes, which were always so calm and indifferent, and his expression seemed to have no choice but to frown.

"How long are you going to watch?" He said coldly.

I hurriedly came back to my senses, retreated to my place, and coughed to cover up: "So, what now?" ”

"Get out of the car." Bai Ming'an removed his seat belt and opened the door, "I'll take a taxi, you walk." ”

I closed the door, and I was not happy to hear this: "Why! ”

Bai Ming'an stretched out his hand and pointed to the building about 100 meters away: "Because the hotel is right behind you." ”

I looked back, and sure enough, I saw the signboard of the chain hotel where I lived when I met Xiaoyu before, and I was unwilling to nun my mouth, hum, and when I turned around, Bai Ming'an had already stopped a taxi and drove away.
