Chapter 245: Haunted House in the Middle of the Night
The rain in the sky became heavier and heavier, and the bean-sized raindrops fell from the air like bullets, and in less than half a day, the water on the road gathered into a small stream.
The fat proprietress dragged Lao Dao in a gray robe to run wildly on the road, the rain had soaked their clothes, but the proprietress seemed to know nothing, and Lao Dao just blindly followed her pace and shuttled through the rain.
Arrived in front of the Hongyan Hotel, found that there were a lot of people gathered downstairs in the hotel, everyone was pointing and saying something, after a while, a police car and an ambulance sounded a shrill siren to arrive downstairs, and the police and medical staff who came down inside pushed away the crowded crowd and rushed in.
After a while, a stretcher was lifted out of the crowd, and the person on the stretcher was covered with a white cloth, indicating that the person who jumped off the building had lost his life.
The proprietress rushed over frantically, and she grabbed the stretcher and shouted desperately: "My son, why are you so stupid, why are you so stupid!" ”
But when he lifted the white cloth with a trembling hand, she was stunned, and a woman with a bloody face and a somewhat unfamiliar face appeared in front of her, her body trembled, and she raised her head to the police in confusion and asked, "Who is this?" ”
"I have to ask you, who are you?" A policewoman walked over and asked lightly.
Just when the proprietress was puzzled, a familiar cry floated from afar, and the proprietress looked up and saw that it was her son Rokuzhi.
"Mom, save me, it's really not Qiaoyun I killed, it's a ghost, it's a female ghost" Liuzhi's expression was very haggard at this time, his hair was messy, he was very flustered and danced to the proprietress with his hands, the proprietress suddenly understood what was going on, her maternal instinct suddenly exploded, and she rushed towards Liuzhi frantically.
But before she could rush in front of Liuzhi, she was stopped by the police, and the proprietress immediately knelt on the ground and kowtowed and howled: "Comrade policeman, my son really can't kill people, he has been afraid of killing chickens since he was a child, how can he kill people, you must have misunderstood." ”
A superintendent came over and helped the proprietress and comforted: "Old man, don't worry, we haven't decided that it was your son who killed someone, but at present he is suspected of this, as long as it is found out that it was not your son who killed him, he will definitely be fine, rest assured!" ”
Lao Dao immediately ran over, he took the hand of the proprietress and comforted: "Don't worry, the police comrade arresting Liuzhi is also temporary, I believe that Liuzhi will not kill anyone, I will definitely help Liuzhi find out the truth" Speaking of this, Lao Dao patted the gossip on his backpack with his hand.
The proprietress immediately understood what Lao Dao meant, and the purpose of her pulling Lao Dao here was also for this, but because he was in a hurry, when he received a call from his son, he thought that his son Liuzhi had fallen off the stairs and was seriously injured.
When the police and the crowd gradually dispersed, Lao Dao carefully observed the surrounding environment, when his eyes fell on a room on the fourteenth floor of the Hongyan Hotel, he faintly felt an abnormality, but he looked around the window again and did not find any evil spirit, which was very different from all the cases that Lao Dao had taken before.
Lao Dao took out a copper coin from his backpack, he held it between his fingers, recited a spell in his mouth, and put it in front of him, when he looked at the window again, he saw that the window was blood-red, and everything else was gray outside of this window.
"Osmanthus, it seems that Liuzhi is right, there is indeed some problem with that room, but I can't see any ghosts, so I want to go in and have a look."
Osmanthus hugged Lao Dao's arm all of a sudden, she was like a child crying with a face, and kept shaking Lao Dao's hand and said: "You must save Liuzhi, you know this child, he will definitely not kill people, he is very kind, how can he kill people?" ”
Lao Dao nodded silently, he gently patted the osmanthus on the back and muttered: "Don't worry, I will definitely help Liuzhi confirm his innocence." ”
Because of the murder, the fourteenth floor of the hotel was completely sealed off and not allowed to enter, so Lao Dao had almost no chance to enter under strict supervision during the day, so Lao Dao decided to sneak into the crime site at night to find evidence.
When the bell of the bell tower rang twelve times, Lao Dao appeared downstairs in a black Taoist robe in Hongyan Hotel, behind him was a little haggard osmanthus, according to the original plan, Lao Dao did not want to take osmanthus, so that he would be more sure alone, but in the end he couldn't bear the osmanthus's crying, making trouble and hanging himself.
In order to facilitate the infiltration of the fourteenth floor, Lao Dao set up a room on the thirteenth floor of the hotel, and after the murder today, the hotel with more than 30 floors seemed deserted, and most people left here because they were afraid.
Lao Dao's room was selected in room 1344, and the opposite upstairs is room 1444, and room 1444 is the room where Liuzhi had an accident during the day, the original story of the matter is already clear, that is, Liuzhi took his girlfriend to the Hongyan Hotel to open a room, and they lived in room 1444, but when they just entered, there was an incident of Liuzhi's girlfriend jumping off the building and committing suicide.
Since the thirteenth floor and the fourteenth floor only want to be one floor apart, there is not a single main household on the thirteenth floor, so the voice-activated lights in the corridor on the thirteenth floor are all black.
Lao Dao walked in front with a peachwood sword, and Osmanthus pulled Lao Dao's shirt like a child trembling and followed behind, the corridor was very silent, and the footsteps of the two of them continued to echo in the corridor.
When he arrived at room 1344, Lao Dao swiped the card open the door, and felt a cold feeling rushing towards him, and seemed to hear a looming singing.
Osmanthus trembled all over, and he suddenly grabbed Lao Dao's hand and asked, "Have you heard someone singing, it's that kind of Peking Opera tone, a bit like a complaining kind." ”
Lao Dao shook his head, took out a small bell with a red rope and hung it on the doorknob, closed the door and said, "No, it's because you're too nervous, don't go up for a while, you wait for me here." ”
The room was very neatly furnished, the tables, chairs and benches were spotless, and when Lao Dao looked up at the roof, he always felt a faint feeling of vertigo, like looking up at the hot sun in the sky at noon.
After Lao Dao entered the room, he opened the backpack, he took out a lot of charms from the backpack and pasted them in the four directions of the room, and took out a red rope to tie it around the whole room, and surrounded the osmanthus in the middle.
Osmanthus looked at the busy old Tao and asked a little puzzled: "Didn't you say that it was room 1444 upstairs, why did you put so many Dao Dao in this room?" ”
Lao Dao didn't look up, he continued to fiddle with the red rope in his hand, tying all the bells to the red rope, and with a slight movement, the bells made a crisp sound.
"This is our temporary base, and we can't stay on it for a long time, once we encounter an incident, we will run away, escape to our room, and escape to the middle of this red rope assembly, I want to rely on this red rope barrier to protect our lives from harm."
Osmanthus nodded silently, she believed in Lao Dao, because Lao Dao was still famous in this generation.
When the pointer on the watch pointed to one o'clock, Lao Dao suddenly picked up the peachwood sword and gossip mirror on the table and said to Osmanthus: "When the time comes, or you don't go up, it's very dangerous there, it's not safe for you." ”
Osmanthus suddenly grabbed Lao Dao's hand, and she said to Lao Dao with some pleading: "No, I'll go up too, you are for the matter of Liuzhi, I can't just let you take this risk alone, you have to die together, you have to live together." ”
This is the first time that this somewhat simple woman has said such touching words in front of Lao Dao, Lao Dao glanced at Osmanthus very seriously and then said solemnly: "Okay, I'll take you there, but don't worry, since I can help you bring it in, I will definitely be able to help you bring it back safely, and I will definitely help Liuzhi get innocent." ”
Osmanthus nodded, the two pushed open the door, the red string bell on the door immediately made a crisp sound, Lao Dao took off the red string bell from the doorknob and held it in his hand and walked sneakily to the fourteenth floor.
Due to today's case, the elevator to the fourteenth floor has been locked, and Lao Dao and Osmanthus have to take the walking staircase.
When I arrived at the staircase on the fourteenth floor, Lao Dao pushed the door and found that even the lights on this floor were cut off, and the corridor was black and pressing, and the osmanthus followed the old road, and he always felt that there were footsteps behind her, and the footsteps followed her tightly.
With a crisp click, a faint fire lit up in the dark night, and the osmanthus flower pulled the old man's clothes tightly as if she had been redeemed and asked: "I always feel that something is wrong, I feel like there is a person following me closely behind me, he will leave when we go, and he will stop when we stop." ”
Lao Dao turned around suddenly, set his eyes on the osmanthus, and found that there was nothing behind her except for pitch black, so he pricked up his ears and listened carefully, still no abnormality, so Lao Dao said: "Don't worry, I didn't see the ghosts, you have to believe in my mana, as long as I don't have anything that I can't do, today we enter that room to find the ghost of Liuzhi's girlfriend first, find her and ask the reason for everything." ”
Osmanthus looked around left and right, a layer of cold sweat appeared in his palm, and he grabbed Lao Dao's hand tightly, and then nodded silently.
Room 1444 is not far from the staircase, Lao Dao took Liu Hua and walked less than a dozen steps to the door of the room, the door is still sealed, from the outside it is absolutely impossible to see that there has been a jumping incident in this room.
Suddenly, a crisp footstep sounded from the distance of the night, judging from the sound that it was the sound of a lady's high heels, in the silent and empty floor, this footstep was extraordinarily loud and extraordinarily infiltrating.
"Listen, footsteps, footsteps, and they're getting closer, they're coming in our direction." Osmanthus's cold hand was oozing sweat again, and he held Lao Dao's hand tightly, his eyes full of fear.
