Zhao Long recalled that compared with this photo, the photo that Dong Xie found had a much lower resolution, plus it was in a relatively dim corridor, and the evil spirit with the iron door had a pale face, and his facial features were completely distorted, and he couldn't see whether there were wrinkles at all, and it was naturally difficult to tell the age. In fact, judging from the style of clothes, the tone is very old, and it is relatively broken, which does not quite match the aesthetics of young people, not to mention that the landlord also said before that most of the empty nesters living alone in this place are lived.

In fact, this is not surprising, this area is extremely deserted, it is said that the urban and rural junction is a little lifted, there is no subway, station, even a grocery store is difficult to find, the room type is also quite old, there will not be a few people who will come here to buy a house and rent a house, and the young people who go to the city to work are estimated to choose to rent a house in the city, here is far from the urban area of S City, the drive is more than 2 hours, they were afraid that the road conditions are not good to catch up so they set off in advance, only to ensure that they arrived at ten o'clock last night.

It follows from this...... The old man holding the black cat is most likely also an empty nester who lives alone.

Zhao Long brought the photo closer again, and at this time he was really glad that the photo pixel was high enough, and it was probably taken by the smart camera or mobile phone brought by the landlord's son. But because of the distance, he could only tell that the old man was a man, and not only his clothes, but also his pants and shoes seemed to have patches. Not far from the background is the No. 3 building.

Ge Qi saw Zhao Long pick up a photo frame and look carefully with a candle, just now he was still cursing Zhao Long to die, but now he showed a look of surprise, could it be that Zhao Long has found a clue to his life again?

That's great! It's only been an hour since the Scarlet quest began, and you may still have time to find your way out in time! So he immediately changed his mind, he must guard the door well!

"Zhao Long, what is that photo? You can show me too! ”

Ge Qi wanted to go in and have a look now, but he was also afraid that as soon as he entered, the door behind him would automatically close. In the past, once this happened in the blood records, no matter what means were used, the door could no longer be smashed open.

"I'll show you later, now, you give me peace!"

Although the photo had been brought very close, the old man's face was still not very clear. In addition to the factor of distance, there was also the reason that the old man's body was obscured by the shadow of the tree behind him from a lot of sunlight. The old man's body and shadow have a sense of being one.

"If this is the evil spirit......"

Zhao Long continued to look at several other photos, the other photos were not in the background of this community, but Zhao Long still looked at it very carefully, maybe he would miss some important clues.

But it's a pity that no matter how much he looks at the other photos, he can't find new clues.

Zhao Long thought for a moment, and he took the key photo out of the frame to see if there was a date on the photo. But alas, no.

"Let's look again and see if there are any more clues."

He continued to open the drawer below and began to look at it. Most of the drawers are some miscellaneous items, as well as some blood pressure medications, which are probably prepared by the landlord himself.

"Huh?"

When he opened the last drawer, Zhao Long suddenly saw a calendar. Oddly enough, it's the end of 2019, but it's a calendar for 2009! And the calendar from so early is still very new.

"What is this?"

There are many dates on the calendar, all circled in red and annotated.

"Hospital follow-up day...... Wife's Birthday ...... Eldest son's birthday...... Youngest son's birthday...... The day when the eldest son came...... The youngest son came ......."

And later, it was 2010, 2011...... The landlord actually kept the calendar from 09 to the present, and each calendar recorded the days when his two sons came to visit the house. And the two sons only come once a year, and they are both New Year's Day, but even so, there have been two or three years when neither of them has come to visit their parents. Even after a gap of three years, it was the day of the landlady's death.

"In that photo, they are obviously wearing summer clothes, and it is unlikely that they will wear short-sleeved summer clothes during the Chinese New Year, especially when the two elderly people are not in good health, it is impossible to wear so thin in January and February." Zhao Long began to analyze: "On the days when the two sons came, except for the Chinese New Year, there was only one ...... The photo should have been taken on that day. ”

The photo was taken three years before the landlady's death, in 2013, six years ago.

Zhao Long searched other places again, and after making sure that there were no more clues, he walked to the door of the room and said to Ge Qi: "Very good, I thought you would escape." ”

"Photos, show me ......"

"Let's take a look."

Walking to the door of the room, Zhao Long showed the photo to Dong Xie and Dong Ning: "Look at the photo and compare it with the photo you found before." ”

Zhao Long directly pointed his finger at the old man holding the black cat under the tree, and Dong Xie and Dong Ning immediately fixed their eyes.

"Clothes ......" Dong Ning found the problem as soon as possible, and Dong Xie immediately took out the photos for comparison.

In the photo, the terrifying figure of the evil spirit is still creepy. And when the clothes are compared, they are really the same, even the pants are the same, and they are definitely not the same clothes and pants, because even the patch position is exactly the same.

"And then there's these calendars. From the calendar, I can roughly deduce the date the photo was taken, which was three years before the landlady died of a heart attack. ”

Dong Xie took the calendar and looked at it carefully, and suddenly, he thought of something.

"What do you mean...... Is the photo taken in 2013? ”

"yes......"

When Dong Ning heard this, she suddenly thought of something.

Subsequently, Dong Xie and Dong Ning said almost in unison: "2009! ”

"What do you mean?" Zhao Long didn't understand what was going on for a while.

"We found the photo earlier, taken on December 30, 2009! That is, ten years ago! Dong Xie pointed to the photo of the evil spirit in his hand and said, "If the photo you newly found was taken in 2013, then ...... The old man who appears in this photo is already an evil spirit! ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone's faces changed drastically!

"Any other photos?" Dong Ning asked Zhao Long: "Just this photo?" ”

"Well, there are a few photos of the landlord's family, and nothing unusual was found."

"You take it out and show it to us again! Maybe find some clues! ”

Zhao Long had no choice but to go back to the room and take out the other photo frames as well.

He handed the photo frame to Dong Xie and Dong Ning, and they each took two photos to look at.

Under the light of the candle, Dong Xie saw that not far behind the person in each photo, there was the old man holding the black cat!

"No!" Zhao Long's face suddenly turned pale: "Just now...... When I watched it just now, there was obviously no him! ”
