Walking through the park, Xu Ran came directly to the floor where Lu Xiao lived. He had been here a few times, and he arrived at Lu Xiao's door with a familiar car.

The place where Lu Xiao lives is a single apartment, and it is rare to see people walking around here in normal times, let alone at this point in time.

At this time, except for Xu Ran standing in the corridor outside, no one walked around in it at all, quietly, like a pure land.

Xu Ran looked at the house number on it, and after making sure that he was not mistaken, he raised his hand and pressed the doorbell hanging on the wall a few times.

There was a crisp doorbell from inside the door, but after this sound, Xu Ran didn't hear any other sounds.

It seems that there is no one in this at all.

Xu Ran waited for a while, and after making sure that there was no movement inside, and then was thinking about leaving, when suddenly his eyes flickered and saw a small gap on the edge of the door.

The door was hidden and not locked at all.

Xu Ran frowned, thinking in his heart, Lu Xiao didn't look like that kind of careless person, how could he forget to lock the door.

However, although Xu Ran had doubts, he still pushed open the door and walked in from the outside.

He locked the door and looked around, except for some daily household uses, which were the dolls that girls usually liked.

Xu Ran casually found a sofa and sat down, picked up the doll next to him and looked at it, and found that the doll was covered with a thin layer of dust, he suddenly lowered his head again, glanced at the table in front of him, and then stretched out his finger and swiped lightly on the table, and found that his fingers were stained with a lot of dust.

It takes more than half a month for this to accumulate so much dust. No wonder he felt strange as soon as he entered the door, it turned out that no one had lived here for a long time. If it weren't for the lingering fragrance in the room, he would have noticed it a long time ago.

took out a few tissues and wiped the dust on his fingers, and Xu Ran stood up from the sofa. Now that Lu Xiao has gone out, he is embarrassed to rummage through other people's things.

It's just that he is even more puzzled in his heart, Huang Jing and Lu Xiao are good friends, and now that Huang Jing has such a big incident, Lu Xiao has no reason not to know, could it be that the person who followed me that day was her?

But thinking about it, it doesn't seem reasonable, if it was Lu Xiao, he would recognize it at a glance.

Thinking about it, he suddenly heard some small sounds, and the source of the sound seemed to be in the direction of the left.

He quickly turned around, dodged, and hurried in that direction.

In front of him was a kitchen and a bathroom, two doors facing each other, both with frosted glass doors, translucent.

Xu Ran ran closer and found that there was a figure in the kitchen against the glass door, and it was impossible to tell whether it was a man or a woman from the outside, but from the perspective of height and size, it looked a bit like Lu Xiao's figure.

It's just that the figure is motionless, sticking to the glass door, looking a little wooden. Xu Ran is a very cautious person, and he doesn't dare to open the door without certainty, not to mention that if the person inside is really not Lu Xiao, then it is easy for him to alarm the other party if he pushes it like this.

So Xu Ran has been watching the movement inside, but there is one thing that is very strange, the figure has no other movements except for clinging to the door. And it was very quiet inside, there was no sound of kitchen knives falling down the cutting board, and even he was listening quietly in the crack of the door, and he couldn't even hear the sound of breathing.

Isn't it human at all that is inside? He already had doubts in his heart that a person could not move his body completely, unless the person had no heartbeat, and besides, he was so close and his hearing was so good, that he could not hear even the slightest sound, not even the slightest breathing.

The room was suddenly filled with a very strange atmosphere, and it seemed that from the moment that figure appeared, Xu Ran's expression was extremely solemn.

He wasn't afraid of whether it was a person standing inside at all, but he was afraid that the person inside was Lu Xiao, and now that Huang Jing was dead, he didn't want any innocent people to be implicated because of Huang Jing's death.

After pondering for a moment, suddenly the figure flashed upward, and the whole figure actually disappeared, Xu Ran was also startled when he saw this moment, he hurriedly pushed open the door, slammed in, and took a look, what kind of figure was there in the kitchen now, except that the light was still on, not even a fly could be seen.

Strange? He frowned, looked carefully at every corner of the kitchen, and finally found a small piece of black leather in an inconspicuous corner. Then he also smelled a strong smell of gas.

What the hell is going on? He hadn't noticed it when he first entered, but now was not the time for him to think, for he saw a few sparks in the exhaust fan above the stove.

Someone wanted to detonate this kitchen, he reacted immediately, but he was still a step late, because at the moment when the sparks flashed, the whole kitchen began to burn, followed by an explosion, a heat wave rushed to the sky, Xu Ran's whole person was swept up by this heat wave, and slammed into the bathroom opposite, the glass door was hit by him like this, and suddenly spilled a large piece, Xu Ran slipped down after hitting the wall in the bathroom, and the whole body was full of scars, but only the back was burned.

Xu Ran got up from the ground with difficulty, crawled halfway, his stomach tumbled, wow, he spit out a mouthful of blood, his eyes were hazy, and then he fainted completely.

……

Half an hour later, Xu Ran was rescued, and the fire in the entire building had basically been extinguished by the fire brigade.

At this time, a police car stopped outside the cordon, the door opened, Gu Jie walked out of it, she crossed the cordon, came to the fire truck, and showed her ID to the police in the jurisdiction.

"I'm Gu Jie from the special case team, may I ask what is going on here."

Gu Jie looked at the policeman and asked. She came here to find a dance teacher named Lu Xiao, and now that she saw this happening here, she couldn't help frowning slightly.

Because of this fire, it is estimated that she ran in vain this trip.

The policeman saw that Gu Jie was from the city bureau, and his straight face suddenly collapsed, his face changed, and he looked extremely enthusiastic.

"Hello comrade, I am the director of this jurisdiction, Zhao Guanming." As he spoke, he stretched out his right hand and wanted to shake hands with Gu Jie.

Although Gu Jie didn't want to deal with this kind of person, it was not easy for a systematic person to refuse, so she shook hands with the director in front of her.

Zhao Guanming continued the topic of Gu Jie just now: "I heard from nearby residents that this fire was caused by a gas explosion. The specific situation will not be known until the technician comes. ”

Gu Jie nodded, this matter is not a criminal case, no matter how much she asks, it is useless, and it is not in her charge.

So she changed her tone and asked, "I'm here to find someone, I don't know if all the residents inside have been evacuated." ”
