"You told me that there are no ghosts in this world, but I think the one I met with Guo Hua is a ghost, a lonely ghost who died in that building."

"You make it clear, what murder?"

"I also heard the old man in the community inadvertently mention it, and then thought of what happened to me and Guo Hua, I think it was the woman who came back." Du Fang took a deep breath: "After Guo Hua died, you should have been to the community where we are located, and we have one ladder and two households upstairs. Have you noticed that most of our building, except for me and Guo Hua, is vacant? ”

"It's a lack of popularity, but I haven't counted how many there are."

"I can tell you, there are only three." Du Fang stretched out three fingers: "One household on the first floor, one household on the third floor, one household on the seventh floor, and the fourth, fifth, and sixth floors in the middle are not inhabited." On the first floor is the original resident of the community, an aunt, who is in her eighties, and rarely goes out, and occasionally, her children will come to visit. She has a nanny at home, in her forties, I heard that she is a distant relative, and she usually doesn't go out much. The third floor is the same as us, they are all tenants, in their thirties, water delivery workers, wives and children are all in their hometown, and the seventh floor is me and Guo Hua. Do you know why no one lives in the middle three buildings? Because it's haunted. ”

"Haunted?"

"A lot of old neighborhoods have similar legends, but our building is really haunted. Unfortunately, we didn't know it when we rented the house. The family where the murder occurred was the east household on the fifth floor, but because of the panic, no one dared to live on the fourth and sixth floors, and the original residents moved out. ”

"If it's a homicide, there's no way we don't know." Ding Dangdao.

"As I said, no one has reported the crime, and no one in the community has reported the crime. Oh, by the way, the aunt on the first floor said that there was a report of disappearance back then, but the police asked the family to look for it first on the grounds that it was less than 24 hours, and no case was filed. Then the matter was gone. It's been many years ago, and I don't know if you can find the record of the disappearance case that was originally reported, if you can find it, it means that my aunt didn't lie to me, and I didn't make up a story to lie to you. ”

"You first tell me what you know, or what you heard, let's listen to it first, and then check whether there is such a case."

"Hmm!" Du Fang nodded: "Auntie said that it was more than ten years ago, specifically more than ten years, Auntie is old, and she can't say it clearly, so I didn't ask again, so you can just listen to it." It was probably more than ten years ago, the male owner of the east house on the fifth floor got married. This house was a house assigned by the unit to his parents, and considering that he was going to get married, he made a wedding room.

The man's name is Li Dongxue, he doesn't do much work, and he has a short temper. In order for him to have a breadwinner in the future, his parents used all their savings to open a small shop for him. The shop was just across from the No. 1 elementary school outside the neighborhood, and it's now replaced.

The bride's name is Li Limei, and her name is very ordinary, but she is very beautiful. Li Limei was a teacher at the No. 1 Primary School at the time, teaching Chinese, and her voice was thin and gentle.

Because Li Limei always went to Li Dongxue's small shop to buy things for the children, the two people who came and went became acquainted, and then Li Dongxue began to openly pursue Li Limei. When this man chases a woman, he is all hollowing out his mind, as good as he wants, and as romantic as he wants. In just half a year, Li Limei agreed to Li Dongxue's marriage proposal, and the two of them held a wedding in this community.

But not long after the marriage, Li Limei's crying was often heard on the fifth floor, and when she met her in the community, she always lowered her head, and there would be some bruises on her arms and face.

After a long time, Li Limei told her aunt that Li Dongxue often beat her. The time my aunt remembers very clearly was that the hospital's 120 ambulances came. Li Dongxue not only beat Li Limei's nose with blood, but also used the kitchen knife at home to cut Li Limei and cut it on her arm, and the blood dripped all the way down the steps and required more than a dozen stitches.

Because she was beaten, Li Limei also called the police, but after the people from the police station came, they all mediated. If it sounds good, it is mediation, and if it doesn't sound good, it is harmony. Usually when encountering such a situation, they will be told that it is an internal conflict within the family, and it is difficult for outsiders to intervene.

Since the ambulance came, Li Limei no longer tolerated Li Dongxue. She filed for divorce from Li Dongxue, but Li Dongxue did not agree. Not only did she not agree, but also because Li Limei moved out of the community and went to Li Limei's school again and again to make trouble, Li Limei had to ask the school for a long vacation. The school took into account her actual situation and gave it approval. ”

"When did the people in that community know that Li Limei was killed?"

"Guessing, because Li Limei's body has not been found, Li Dongxue ran away quietly, and everyone began to speculate that Li Limei may have been killed. Of course, this speculation is not gratuitous, but because no concrete evidence can be presented, no one in the community meddles to call the police. Li Limei's family can only report her disappearance. But because the police station didn't accept it, the matter was over. ”

"Guessed?" Ding Dang shook his head: "Based on speculation, there is really no way to open a case for investigation." ”

The aunt on the first floor recalled that the night before Li Limei's disappearance, they had heard a heated argument on the fifth floor. At that time, Li Limei was already living in a rented house, worried that Li Dongxue would find her, so she did not tell anyone, including her own parents, the address of her new home. Li Dongxue couldn't find Li Limei and began to play all kinds of demons, either going to Li Limei's school to threaten her colleagues, or going to Li Limei's house to confess his mistakes. After tossing back and forth for more than a month, Li Dongxue finally relented and said that he wanted to talk to Li Limei about divorce.

The aunt on the first floor also recalled that when Li Limei came that day, she was wearing a white dress. The style is quite conservative, but it suits Li Limei very well. When she came, she seemed very relaxed, and even told her aunt that she was going to divorce Li Dongxue soon, and after the divorce, she would move out of this community. She also said that she applied to go out to teach, and will not return to Los Angeles in a short time. The aunt also shook her hand and said don't be discouraged about marriage, there are still few bad men like Li Dongxue.

Later, Li Limei went upstairs. Half an hour later, Li Dongxue came back, and he was drunk, and he was still carrying two bottles of liquor in his hand. When he went upstairs, Li Dongxue also said hello to his aunt. The aunt also persuaded him, saying that the husband and wife should live a bad life, and if they really had a bad life, they would separate. There's nothing wrong with separating, maybe the next person you meet will be someone you like.

Li Dongxue burped and told his aunt that Li Limei was the woman he liked, and if it weren't for liking him, he wouldn't have bothered so much to get her back. The aunt persuaded him that since he likes it, he should treat others well. The woman is soft-hearted, if he really knows that he is wrong, Li Limei may forgive him.

As a result, Li Dongxue smiled and shook the wine bottle wildly. He said that the reason why he beat Li Limei was because Li Limei should be beaten, saying that she was married to him and talking to other men with a smile, saying that she just looked down on him and wanted Hongxing to come out of the wall.

The aunt knew that Li Dongxue was drunk, so she didn't talk nonsense with him anymore. But because he was drunk, the aunt was not worried about Li Limei, so she deliberately opened the door of the house and listened to the movement upstairs. This old building is a slab building, and the sound insulation effect is not good, so you can hear any movement upstairs and downstairs clearly.

The aunt said that at the beginning, she was quite calm, and even heard Li Limei talking to Li Dongxue, asking him not to drink so much, in case something happened, he had to let his parents worry. Later, I heard Li Dongxue crying, crying and begging Li Limei, and then there was the sound of quarrels, the sound of throwing things, Li Dongxue's roar and Li Limei's crying. After tossing for a while, the fifth floor calmed down. The aunt was not at ease at the time, so she went upstairs to look, just in time for Li Dongxue to open the door.

The aunt said that Li Dongxue was standing at the door at that time, his face was flushed, and he didn't know if he was angry because of a quarrel or drinking. When he saw his aunt looking into the house, he pushed her viciously and asked her if she had never seen a husband and wife quarrel. If you haven't seen it, go and dig the uncle out of the graveyard and make a noise. The aunt was angry with him and went downstairs directly.

After a while, a police officer came to inquire, and Li Dongxue said that he did quarrel with Li Limei, but the reason for the quarrel was that the conditions for divorce were not stated, and Li Limei left in anger. Li Dongxue also pointed to his head for the police to see, saying that Li Limei beat him and bleed his head. The police looked at him and said that he deserved to go back. Since then, people in the community have never seen Li Limei again. After half a month, Li Dongxue also moved away from the community, saying that he had divorced Li Limei, and he felt uncomfortable.

Since then, the people in the community have never seen Li Dongxue again, let alone Li Limei. Later, we could hear the cries of women in the building, just as we heard. Others said that they saw a woman covered in blood. When everyone thinks of the innocent missing Li Limei, they wonder if she was killed, and Li Dongxue did not leave because he was sad, but absconded in fear of crime. ”

"Then have you gone to Li Dongxue's house on the fifth floor to see it?"

"No, the doors of the two houses on the fifth floor have always been closed, and I have never seen the master's house. I asked the aunt on the first floor, and the aunt said that they hadn't seen it either, and said that the key to the house was only owned by Li Dongxue. Li Dongxue's parents also passed away a few years ago, and no one took care of this house, and no one asked. Oh, by the way, all the other houses in this building have been rented, only this one of Li Dongjia has been vacant. ”

"Boss, can we apply to investigate in this house?" Ding Dang asked.

Chang Tai shook his head: "Unless there is evidence to prove that this house is the scene of the case." ”
