Chapter 51: Scrapped

Gu Mian remembered that the landlord said that this woman had opened the door when he and Qing Huan came to investigate yesterday.

But yesterday she hid half of her face behind the door, so the two of them didn't notice anything unusual on her face.

The disfigured woman was on the opposite side, and they were just a few steps away.

Gu Mian stood at the door and knocked on the door, and didn't wait long before there was a sound of footsteps inside the door, and then the door in front of him was squeaked open.

A face peeked out from behind the door to look at them.

Seeing this face, Yuwen gasped, this is a very indescribable face.

Half of them are normal, but the other half is extremely ugly.

The burnt half of his face drooped down, and his face was as loose and rough as an eighty or ninety-year-old man, and as dirty as if it could not be washed.

This face is very discordant, one eye and one side of the mouth are slanted down, and the facial features are completely asymmetrical.

The woman seemed to have heard the movement of the landlord and guessed that they would come, so she didn't ask, and directly pulled the door and took a step back: "Come in first." ”

Gu Mian was not polite, and walked in with his feet raised.

The other three followed.

This house is not big, as soon as you enter the door, there is a somewhat gloomy living room, and a shrine is placed in the corner of the living room, which enshrines a god whose name Gu Mian can't name, which looks a little evil.

Next to the shrine was a row of old sofas, and Gu Mian sat down.

The woman didn't mean to greet them, but went straight to the point: "You came to me for Zhong Min's business?" ”

This should be the name of the woman who was burned to death.

The landlord never dared to mention her name, but the disfigured woman didn't have any scruples and said it directly.

She was so happy, Gu Mian was not easy to beat around the bush, he nodded: "My friends were entangled in some dirty things, and the investigation came and went and finally investigated this woman, I heard the landlord say that you were nearby when she died." ”

The woman nodded blankly: "I'm nearby, but I advise you not to have anything to do with this woman, she's a ...... The vindictive spirit is very strong, and if she is targeted, it will be a death anyway. ”

"You knew her well when she was alive?"

The woman was silent for a moment: "No...... I didn't know her. ”

Yuwenhao's face was not quite right: "Then why do you seem to be very familiar with her?" ”

The woman bowed her head slightly and stopped talking.

"Since you don't want to talk about this, let's change the question" Gu Mian spoke: "I learned from the landlord that on the night of the fire, you were not very close to the fire, and you should have been able to run out by yourself when you found the fire, but you didn't." ”

Yuwen Hao's faces were slightly strange, and they looked at the woman in front of them who had ruined half of their faces.

"At that time...... I fell asleep. ”

"And when did you wake up?"

“…… I heard Zhong Min screaming, and she locked herself in a small warehouse inside, which was right next to me...... She was shouting for help inside, and the fire was already burning on my side by then......"

He then asked, "Can't she get out on her own?" ”

"She closed the lock inside, but she didn't have the key with her."

"Do you have a key with you?"

“……”

Yuwen Hao frowned and looked at Gu Mian, and lowered his voice: "Do you suspect that this woman has something to do with that fire?" ”

Gu Mian shook his head slightly.

The others were very strange, this woman was too weird, she was obviously a victim of the fire that year, but she was full of weirdness.

At this time, Gu Mian looked at the woman and spoke: "Since you are on night duty in the warehouse, you must have the key to the warehouse with you, I think you didn't run out immediately after you woke up, but went to save people, right?" ”

The others were slightly stunned when they heard this.

Judging from the current situation, her rescue was obviously unsuccessful.

"I guess when you woke up and heard a cry for help, you opened the door with the key, and wanted to escape with Zhong Min, but something went wrong in the middle, causing Zhong Min to die in the fire and you were also burned"

"And according to the description you just made to Zhong Min, she definitely did something to you, maybe when you were alive or after you died."

"I should be complaining that you failed to save her, and she is pestering you after becoming a ghost."

Therefore, it is very likely that the curse that the landlord heard Zhong Min back then was not scolding others, but scolding the woman who left her and ran away.

Qing Huan showed a confused look: "Then why has she been able to live until now?" ”

This should also be the key to this copy.

After listening to Gu Mian's words, the woman was silent, and after a long time, she raised her face and showed a strange smile of relief.

"You guessed it right, I did want to save people at that time, but Zhong Min did a lot more than you thought"

"We didn't know each other at the time, and I was woken up when the fire spread and I heard her shouting for help behind the door, so I took out the key, opened the door and ran away with her"

"Everything went well, we walked through the big warehouse with our noses covered, trying to run outside, but at this moment a burning shelf toppled down and hit her right on"

"I wanted to pull her out and run with her, but the shelf was too heavy for me to pull her at all"

"At that time, the fire was already very strong, and she took my hand and begged me desperately not to leave her, let me save her, but if I stayed any longer, I would die with her"

"I had no choice, so I told her to go out and find someone to save her, who knew that she actually grabbed my leg so hard that I couldn't walk at all!"

"She said she didn't believe me, and if I couldn't get her out, then the two of us would die there together"

"At this time, a few pieces of cloth burning on the shelves fell at me, and she pulled me so hard that I couldn't dodge at all, so I was hit like this......"

She touched her face as she spoke.

"At that time, my hair and clothes were burning, my face was very painful, it hurt so much, I didn't care about anything, I raised my foot and kicked her hard several times, and she let go of her hand after kicking, and I ran out."
