Things are as I guessed, Huang Yuting disappeared at this time, and there was another reason.

Before entering the room, I asked Xiaoya to go downstairs and wait for me.

The little girl was sensible, did not ask the reason, and went downstairs obediently.

"You perceive it, it's the smell of rotting corpses." Pulling Xiaoya away, Li Guodong said to me.

"How can a girl's room smell of corpses?"

"It's the carcass of a dog."

Li Guodong explained: "When we came in to check earlier, we found a golden retriever corpse under the bed in the room, which had been decomposing and dead for many days. And its death ......"

"Is it the same as the death of Chen Liming and Li Guofeng, the stomach was cut open, and the internal organs inside were missing?" I asked.

"Not bad!"

Li Guodong said: "As far as I know, that dog died before your class reunion. In other words, Huang Yuting had already had problems before that. And Huang Yuting's mother told me that her daughter's favorite is the golden retriever, and no outsiders have entered her room recently, so she is the only one who kills the dog. ”

He paused, and then said: "According to what Li Guofeng's friend said before, Guofeng had threatened and intimidated Huang Yuting, so she is the most suspected murderer. ”

Hearing this, I couldn't help frowning, Huang Yuting I know, she is a girl with a strong appearance and a delicate heart, she is usually scared to death when she sees a cockroach, how can she kill her favorite pet? And hide its body under the bed? ”

This is simply unreasonable, no matter how hard a person is hit, it is impossible for him to change so much in a short period of time.

Moreover, after coming out of the 100,000 Mountains, I once looked for Huang Yuting with Lao Fei, she spoke and behaved very normally at that time, and also told us about Sun Pu.

What is it that makes her what she is today?

Although it was daytime, the room was dark and the curtains were tightly closed and the air was not circulating.

Li Guodong casually turned on the light.

The rooms were large, at least more than twice as many as the rooms we civilians lived, but there wasn't much furniture inside. A bed, a dresser, a wardrobe, and nothing but the rest of the odds and turns seemed empty.

The bedding on the bed was messy, and the dog corpse had been cleaned up by Li Guodong and them.

"Before Huang Yuting disappeared, her mother didn't see her walk out of the room." Li Guodong said.

I walked over to the bed, looked at a decolored gray bear doll on it, and asked, "Since she didn't leave the room, how did she disappear?" ”

"It's weird, she's locked herself in the room, she's also sealed all the windows, and it's like she's hiding from something terrible."

I was stunned, and then I saw Li Guodong open the curtains, I thought that there was transparent glass outside the window, but in fact it was a layer of wood, and behind the wooden board was glass.

No wonder the room was so dark and stuffy, and the windows were sealed with wooden boards.

"These windows are all boarded up, and we found not only the dog's carcass under the bed, but also the hammer and the rest of the planks, and there is no doubt that the windows were all sealed by Huang Yuting." Lai Kwok Tung Road.

"Why should a good room villa be sealed with a wooden plank?" I asked, frowning.

There are only two explanations for this situation, the first is that Huang Yuting is afraid of the bright light, and the simple curtain can't block the bright light, so she seals the window with a wooden board; The second explanation is that she was scared, afraid that something would suddenly appear in her room, so she not only locked herself in the room......"

"This can't be, you said it, the dog has been dead for a while, if Huang Yuting is afraid of the light, why did she bring a group of classmates to the mountain to find me?"

"So I suspect it's the latter, she was entangled by something, maybe when she went to Heaven Mountain, that thing also followed, so she killed the ...... of Guofeng"

Li Guodong shook his head and continued: "Although she sealed her room airtightly, it seems that she was succeeded by that thing in the end, you can come and see." ”

As he spoke, he pushed open the glass door of the bathroom.

When I walked in, I found that there was a mess in the bathroom, all the bottles and cans of cosmetics were scattered all over the ground, and even the mirror was broken.

There was an exhaust fan in the bathroom, but at this point the exhaust fan fell to the ground, revealing a person's thick exit.

"Apparently, there was a fight here that didn't last long. And judging from the location where the exhaust fan fell, it was opened from the outside. ”

Li Guodong said: "Her mother never saw her walk out of the room, and the rest of the windows were sealed with wooden boards, so she must have left through this exhaust outlet, or to be exact, maybe she should have been abducted." ”

"We found a painting on the table in her room, along with a white petal."

"The petals were identified by experts and confirmed to be the rare white orchid petals in the world. In other words, the white orchid that Guofeng brought out from the Shuanglong Cave before was indeed taken away by Huang Yuting, and there are ......"

"This painting ......"

As he spoke, he took out a piece of paper from his briefcase and handed it to me, frowning, "The contents of the painting are weird......

I took the paper from him, and it was a very ordinary white paper.

Huang Yuting has a hobby of painting, and when she was in high school, she participated in club training, and she once told me that her dream was to become a painter.

After the college entrance examination, she wanted to enroll in art school, but at that age, not everything could be decided by herself. Under pressure from her family, she finally enrolled in medical school.

Sketched with a pencil on a white piece of paper, drawing a room. The room is very familiar to me, and it seems that I am in Huang Yuting's room.

And depending on the time, it should be night.

Because there was a person lying on the bed in the room, that person had long hair and a somewhat blurred face, but it should be Huang Yuting herself.

She was half-covered, holding a doll in her arms, and looked out the window in horror.

The curtains of the window were opened, and there was a strange figure outside, the figure lying on the window, his face against the glass, smiling and staring at Huang Yuting lying on the bed in the room.

The figure against the window is painted eerie, blurry, abstract, but full of terrifying elements.

At the very bottom of the painting are two words - Nightmare!

Obviously, the title of this painting is a nightmare, I don't know if Huang Yuting saw it with her own eyes, or if it was a nightmare she had?

The reason why she sealed the windows all with wooden planks may be because of this painting.

Could it be that she was kidnapped by the strange figure that appeared in the painting?

"As far as I know, you know Huang Yuting better than anyone else. What do you see in this painting? Li Guodong asked me.

"Shock, incredulity, and fear."

I swallowed a mouthful of saliva and said, "Her room lives on the third floor, and it is impossible for ordinary people to suddenly appear outside the window on the third floor, that is, the things outside the window are not people." ”

In fact, there is another thing I didn't say, that is, Huang Yuting was holding the doll in her arms, which was a birthday gift I gave her a long, long time ago.

I can't believe she's still there.

"You didn't look closely enough, and there's one thing you've overlooked!"

Li Guodong shook his head slightly, stretched out his hand and pointed to the painting: "There is a dog under the bed in the painting, and it is dead." ”

I looked closely, because the sketch was not very clear, and I could only faintly see an imperceptible shadow under the bed, and it was difficult to see whether it was a dog corpse or not.

"Your eyes are so vicious!" I handed the painting back to Li Guodong.

Li Guodong put away the painting and said lightly: "This matter is weird, but I finally have some clues, and then we just need to find Huang Yuting." ”

He paused, then continued, "I believe that her disappearance has nothing to do with your Heavenly Mountain. ”

I spread my hands, and it was difficult to sort out these inextricable clues. The reason why I came here is just a friend who has cared about me for many years.

After that, I left the community with Xiaoya.

Before leaving, Li Guodong suddenly asked me if I wanted to join his team and enter the Shuanglong Cave together tomorrow.

I wanted to agree, because I had already planned to go in, but thinking of Yan Xiaoying's words to warn me, I shook my head hesitantly and did not reply.

When I returned to the village, it was dusk.

Mom knew that I was going back to the mountains today, so she prepared dinner early, and my dad miraculously sat in the hall waiting for us.

The family had dinner, and it was not yet dark.

I packed my things and went out at my mother's behest.

When I returned to the mountain, I happened to see Lao Fei carrying two big red carp, holding a fishing whip, and coming back with a whistle.

"Why do you keep fishing for red carp?"

I frowned and looked at the old fat and said, "The carp is the most spiritual, and there is a legend of the carp jumping over the dragon gate." The red carp, in particular, is in some ways the embodiment of a dragon. Usually you catch it occasionally, but why do you catch it every day lately? If we continue like this, I am afraid that we will be damned. ”

"It's red carp."

Old Fat pursed his lips and said, "Isn't my recent progress in learning Daomen talismans and spells slow?" It just so happens that the red carp is also a spiritual creature, so maybe it can help me break through, haha. ”

I shook my head, didn't bother to talk about him, and asked, "What about Lin Miao and the others?" ”

"It was gone last night!"

Lao Fei didn't care and said: "That guy is always mysterious, last night in the middle of the night suddenly woke me up and said that I heard a woman singing in your room, and he hasn't come back since he went out." ”

"So...... Do you still have the leisure to go fishing? I frowned.

"How else? It's not like you don't know that guy, what's there to worry about? The old fat said with an indifferent face.

"What I'm saying is, how can there be a woman singing in my room?"

"Who knows? I was woken up by that guy who slept in a daze last night, but I didn't hear it anyway. ”

"But Lin Miao won't lie."

"I checked in your room this morning, and there was nothing wrong with it, and I didn't lose anything." Old Fat Road.

"But Lin Miao, he's gone." I said in a deep voice.

"Maybe he feels bored here, and it's not necessary to go for a walk."

"He's leaving, and he should wait for me to come back and say something."

I said, "Huang Yuting is also missing, there was a woman singing in my room last night, do you think it could be her?" ”

"Wouldn't it? You're so narcissistic, even if this kind of thing is lucky, why do you still want a woman to touch your bed every night? Old Fat rolled his eyes at me and said.
