Chapter Ninety-Eight: The Sixth Floor
I don't know if I'm the only one who has such a feeling, that is, whenever I see someone with an eye injury, or when I see some surgery on the eyeball, I always have a feeling of empathy, as if my eyeball will also be in danger, and even occasionally I will feel very uncomfortable when I see something sharp aimed at my eyeball, anyway, when I saw Uncle Liu stretching his finger to his eyeball, I couldn't help but cover my left eye with my hand.
Looking at the still moist eyeballs in Uncle Liu's hands, and the crimson hole left in his left eye after he lost his eyeballs, I only felt that the goosebumps on my body fell to the ground, as if there were thousands of ants crawling on me at this time, how uncomfortable it was.
But although I was very uncomfortable, I wasn't afraid of anything, because Ding Yang and I could see clearly that the eyeball in Uncle Liu's hand was a lifelike fake eyeball.
"Hahaha, I'm going to scare you."
Uncle Liu put the fake eyeball in his hand back on, and said to us with a laugh, I have to say that his action just now really scared me, if it wasn't for the fact that there was no blood flowing out after he gouged out the eyeball, I'm afraid I really thought that Uncle Liu was ghosted.
I turned my head to look at Ding Yang, but found that he was always very calm, and he was not as ashamed as me.
After Uncle Liu installed the eyeballs, he smiled at me and said: "My eye was working on the construction site when I was young, and I was accidentally poked blind, and then I changed to a fake eye, and the corpses of the two dead children you just asked were gouged out of the left eye, now think about it, my left eye is not a bad thing, at least that ghost is going to gouge out my eye, I just give it to him, and there is no pain." ”
Uncle Liu seemed to be playing a joke on us, but after I calmed down, I vaguely felt that Uncle Liu's loss of his left eye was related to these two cases. After all, the deceased had his left eye gouged out, and in my opinion, at present, this Uncle Liu has a great motive for committing the crime, and this Uncle Liu, as a doorman, naturally has a lot of time to commit the crime, can it be said that this case is really done by Uncle Liu?
Uncle Liu didn't know the identity of me and Ding Yang, and waited for the elevator to reach the sixth floor, then took us to the door of our room, and said: "This is it, no wonder I saw someone from the cleaning company come to clean up the house this morning, it turned out that the two of you were going to move in, but the location of this room is not very good, if possible, I hope you can talk to the property and change the room to live." ”
I looked around with some confusion and found that this room was in the middle of the corridor, and from the location, I didn't think there was anything wrong, so I asked Uncle Liu why he said that.
Uncle Liu looked at the room on the right side of our room with some disgust, and said: "There are five young people living in this room, two have died now, and there are three people living in it, these young people are very noisy, sleeping during the day and moving at night, so that the entire sixth floor has opinions about them, but they all look very fierce and vicious, and they have fought many times for this matter, so no one dares to say about them now, if you really can't bear it at that time, try not to reason with this group of outlaws, just change the room." ”
Uncle Liu's kind words and persuasion seemed very sincere, and I also smiled and nodded: "Then thank you Uncle Liu, don't worry, if we are so noisy that we can't sleep, we will definitely change places to live, by the way, Uncle Liu, who else lives in these six floors?" How do I look deserted? ”
"It's not this group of little bastards, now basically no one wants to live on the sixth floor, the only residents left are the little Wang on the right side of the room of the little bastards, he also sleeps during the day and only goes to work on the construction site at night, and there is Sister Feng at the far edge of the corridor, she is old, and she doesn't want to change places to live, so she doesn't care about this group of people messing around here."
After listening to Uncle Liu's introduction, I realized that the entire sixth floor was left in addition to us, and there were still three households left, and the other rooms were empty.
I took the key to open the door, ready to invite Uncle Liu to go in and sit, but Uncle Liu he also had his own things to be busy, turned around and went downstairs to leave, Ding Yang and I entered our room, and found that although this building is a dormitory-style design, but the internal layout is not bad, two bedrooms and a living room have toilets, the light and lighting are very good, and the scenery outside the window is also very beautiful, if this is not a new area, I think there must be many people who are willing to live here.
In the room, Officer Yang has prepared simple furniture for us, two single beds in each of the two bedrooms, a few chairs and a table in the living room, and various cooking utensils in the kitchen, although it is generally simple, but it is enough for the two of us to stay here for a few days.
Ding Yang and I shared the room, and we were going to go to the bathroom to take a shower, while Ding Yang went straight to the kitchen, it seems that he should be able to cook, so it's okay, so I don't have to go out to eat again.
After taking a bath, I could already smell the aroma coming from the kitchen, and I couldn't help but go up to look, and I saw Ding Yang stir-frying the vegetables in full swing, looking at the skillful movements, this Ding Yang must be a good family man.
"You're done? Go sit outside and wait, I'll be done in no time. Ding Yang said to me without looking back.
I nodded, and was about to leave, but suddenly turned my head and said, "What Uncle Liu said just now is very informative, I don't know what you think about this case?" ”
Hearing my question, Ding Yang's stir-fry movement slowed down slightly, and after a moment of silence, he said: "I think that from the clues we have so far, the disturbance of these five young people every night may be the only motive for the murderer to kill them, and Uncle Liu, who lost his left eye, seems to be extremely disgusted with these young people, according to my thoughts, the murderer should be this Uncle Liu, which is the only strange behavior that can explain why the deceased will have their left eye gouged out." ”
Ding Yang's words were very brief, but he still pointed out a lot of things, I nodded and said: "That's true, now on the surface, everything you analyzed is right, but I still think that things should not be so simple." ”
"First of all, your previous autopsy said that the deceased gouged out his left eye and swallowed it in his stomach, if Uncle Liu is the murderer, how did he do it? Second, if Uncle Liu is really the murderer, then why did he let the deceased gouge out his left eye? Isn't this a clear push in the direction of the suspect? And thirdly, these five young men were living in a rented room, and now two people have died, so why did the remaining three still live here without the slightest fear? If I were one of them, I would have run away since the first person died, and how would I dare to stay, right? ”
As soon as I said this, Ding Yang's eyes seemed to light up, and he turned to me and said, "Hearing you say this, I seem to be a little suspicious of those three young people, could it be that they are the murderers?" Or is one of them the murderer? The reason why the deceased's left eye was gouged out was to blame Uncle Liu? ”
I nodded and said, "It's possible, but now we don't have any evidence and clues, everything is just speculation, if it's just because of the reason to disturb the people, I think it's a bit unrealistic, there must be some unknown purpose of killing." After a while, after we finished eating, we went to the three young people's houses next to us and asked. ”
Ding Yang smiled: "Have you forgotten? Uncle Liu said just now, those three young people are sleeping during the day, you go to knock on the door now, people may not open the door for you, even if you open the door, it is estimated that there will be a fight with you, it is better for us to wait until the evening and then go is not too late, anyway, there is time. ”
I actually forgot about it, smiled helplessly, and returned to the table to think while quietly waiting for the meal to start.
We were busy all morning, it was already noon, and after about ten minutes, Ding Yang came over with two stir-fried vegetables and two bowls of rice, the taste of stir-fried vegetables was very good, but it was a pity that I was used to eating the dishes made by Zhang Qishan, and I suddenly missed this little girl, and I said that I would have time for a while, and I would call her first to report her safety.
Since it was Ding Yang cooking, I naturally couldn't just eat, after eating, I washed all the dishes and chopsticks, and prepared to visit the so-called Sister Feng of Uncle Liu who lived on the edge with Ding Yang, it seems that Sister Feng should also be an old lady.
And I noticed that Ding Yang seemed to be thinking something, so I asked him.
Ding Yang frowned and said, "I'm thinking about another question, why did the murderer kill people on the fourth floor?" There are few people living on the sixth floor, wouldn't it be more convenient to do it here? ”
I had thought about this question before, and said: "Actually, this is very simple, the two deceased lived on the sixth floor, if they took the elevator, they must have pressed the button on the sixth floor directly, so the murderer only needs to squat on the fourth floor, and press the button on the fourth floor when the elevator comes up, and the elevator will naturally stop on the fourth floor, and then the murderer can start killing." It's just that I'm also curious, why did he choose the fourth floor instead of the second, third, and fifth floors? ”
Ding Yang thought about it carefully and said, "Could it be that the murderer did it on purpose?" He wanted to create a supernatural atmosphere, after all, the number on the fourth floor has always been associated with some ghost stories, so he chose to kill people on the fourth floor. ”
Obviously, this reason is also possible, but I think there must be other reasons, so the two of us decided to go to the fourth floor to have a look, but as soon as we walked out the door, we heard the door of the three young men next to us suddenly open, and out of it came a pale, skinny young man with a heavy black circle on his face, and a non-mainstream hairstyle like a hedgehog that could make enemies of the whole world.
