Chapter Seventy-Seven: A Strange Pattern
Wei Chi came to the second floor and found that the corridor on the second floor was completely different from the first floor.
The corridor on the first floor is just a square in a circle, while the second floor is an irregular circle, and there are also three rooms, called "stone", "gold", and "sea".
After Wei Chiran carried his luggage around, when he walked back to the stone room, the door of the sea room opened, and an elegant middle-aged man stood at the door and said with a smile: "It's Mr. Zhu Kunzhu, right?" ”
Wei Chiran hurriedly put down his luggage and stretched out his hand: "Hello, you are Mr. Bao, right?" ”
Naturally, the first investigator hired by Xiang Jin was Bao Junhao, who retired from PW.
Bao Junhao looks relatively young, just a little younger than Xiang Jin, and he does not reach the traditional retirement age, but PW's rule is that once he is over 45 years old, the cadre must be transferred from the front line to a civilian or support position, and can ask for retirement.
Bao Junhao should be the kind of person who voluntarily retired early.
Bao Junhao said: "Have you had breakfast?" I've just made it, would you like to eat it together? ”
Wei Chiran hurriedly said: "No need, I'll go to the room to have a look, settle down, and then come to visit you." ”
Bao Junhao smiled: "Okay, you're busy with you." ”
After the door was closed, Wei Chiran walked to the door of the stone character room and took out the key, but subconsciously glanced at the door of the sea character room at the corner of the curve.
In general, whether it is Suo Ning or Bao Junhao, they all give Wei Chiran a feeling that they are not investigators, but really residents.
It's just that Suo Ning is the kind of neighbor who is not easy to get along with, but Bao Junhao seems to be the person sent by the landlord to take care of him.
After opening the door, Wei Chiran, who was about to walk in, stopped, because the place that should be the living room behind the entrance was pitifully small, and he could only barely fit a small table, and there was a pocket pendulum clock standing in such a small place.
Suddenly, the pendulum clock made a sound on the hour, startling the lieutenant.
Wei Chi reluctantly squeezed in, turned around and closed the door, and then looked at the bedroom on the right, and found that the bedroom was very large, but there was a single bed, a desk, a chair, and an empty picture frame on the wall.
All furniture styles are old, like a product of the thirties of the last century, but the appearance is very new, perhaps a modern imitation.
The lieutenant tidied up slightly, realizing that there was a lack of toilets and kitchens in the room.
It's so weird, it's understandable to have no kitchen, but what's not a toilet? What should I do if I go to the toilet by myself? Open defecation? Do you have to be in the same room with your own excrement until you find out the secrets of this tower?
Why don't you ask that Bao Junhao?
Wei Chiran tidied up his appearance and knocked on the sea-shaped room where Bao Junhao lived.
After the door opened, Bao Junhao was still holding a steamed bun in his hand: "You came just in time, I'm still wondering when you will come." ”
Wei Chiran didn't go in, but pretended to be very shy and asked, "Excuse me, there is no toilet in my room." ”
Bao Junhao smiled: "There's no kitchen either, right?" Look at me here. ”
After Bao Junhao got out of the way, Wei Chiran saw that the Haizi room where Bao Junhao lived had only one room, a square one, but it was stuffed with all kinds of furniture and kitchen.
Wei Chiran smiled and said, "Yes, open kitchen." ”
Bao Junhao was amused by Wei Chiran's words, and said with a smile: "I start to like you, you are very humorous, the toilet is in the golden room, which is the weirdest room on this floor." ”
The lieutenant asked, "But there is no key?" ”
Bao Junhao took out his key and motioned for Wei Chi to go with him.
The two came to the door of the golden room, and Bao Junhao took out the key to open the door.
Wei Chi said, "You have the key." ”
Bao Junhao closed the door again and said, "Take out your key and try it." ”
Wei Chi took out the key, and it turned out that he was able to open the door of the pyramid room.
Wei Chiran looked at the open door and wondered: "In other words, the door locks of the three rooms on the second floor are the same, and the key can open the doors of all the rooms?" ”
Bao Junhao said: "Yes, that's it, this place is really weird." ”
Wei Chiran walked into the golden room, there are three rooms in the golden room, one of which is a toilet, but the size of the three rooms is as small as the living room of the stone room where Wei Chiran lives, and there is no way to live in it.
Wei Chi ran into the toilet and found that the toilet was still an old-fashioned squatting pit toilet, and you could also take a bath here, but the water pipes inside were all made of copper.
After waiting for the lieutenant to open the door from the toilet Chi Ran, Bao Junhao asked, "Have you seen the woman on the first floor who smells of Chinese medicine?" ”
Wei Chi nodded and said, "I've seen her, she doesn't seem to be very friendly." ”
Bao Junhao looked around the room: "I'm not interested in her, I'm interested in the room where she lives, and there are two other rooms, are you sure to deal with her?" ”
"Deal with?" Wei Chiran deliberately shook his head honestly, indicating that he did not understand these two words.
A playboy-like smile appeared on Bao Junhao's face: "Actually, it's better to take down such a woman, so let's go and take her, and you, go upstairs to visit the guy named Zhong Shan, we have our own duties, remember, we are allies." ”
Wei Chiran smiled: "Of course I know." ”
After walking out of the golden room, Wei Chiran naturally walked to the position of the middle staircase door, he couldn't find a reason to meet Fang Xunyi, who knew that Bao Junhao proposed the division of labor and cooperation.
Pushing open the staircase door, Wei Chiran walked up the circular staircase to the third floor, and found that the corridor on the third floor was different from the first and second floors, the first floor was normal, but narrow, the second floor was irregular and circular, and the third floor could not be accurately described in words, it could only be said that it was very chaotic, and after a few steps it was a corner, and after the corner was a corner.
On the third floor, the water room, the wooden room, and the brake room are all hidden in the corner, and the size of the entrance is slightly smaller than that on the first and second floors.
Wei Chiran came to the door of the wooden room, stretched out his hand and knocked on the door, not long after, the door opened, Fang Xunyi, who was wearing a Zhongshan suit, stood at the door, he was very surprised when he saw Wei Chiran, and looked at it for a long time, confirming that it was Wei Chiran, and then asked in a low voice: "Why are you here?" ”
Wei Chiran went directly into the house, Fang Xunyi closed the door and asked again.
Wei Chiran said: "Hou Wan didn't tell you, am I still partnering with you this time?" ”
Fang Xunyi shook his head: "No." ”
Wei Chiran said: "My current name is Zhu Kun, and I am an IT otaku......"
As he spoke, Wei Chiran introduced his situation and asked, "Why are you pretending to be Zhong Shan?" ”
Fang Xun recalled: "Because Zhong Shan is a person with many identities, the most famous identity is a freelance detective, but the origin of this person is a mystery, and it is not easy to contact him, so it is not easy to be recognized by people pretending to be him." ”
Wei Chiran asked, "What do you mean by being a free detective?" Aren't all detectives free? ”
Fang Xunyi explained: "Freelance detective is a better name, to be precise, it is an illegal detective who has not obtained a detective qualification certificate, now you understand?" But this kind of person is quick and unscrupulous, and many rich people like to find this kind of freelance detective, such as Xiang Man. ”
Wei Chiran looked at the room where Fang Xunyi lived, the room layout was one bedroom, one living room and one bathroom, but everything in this room was made of cement, even the bed was directly cut into a hole in the wall, but fortunately, there was a kitchen and a toilet in this room.
Wei Chiran informed Fang Xunyi of the situation on the second floor, and asked what the other two rooms on the third floor were like?
Fang Xunyi led Wei Chiran to open the doors of the other two rooms and let Wei Chiran go to see it by himself.
Wei Chiran, who was standing at the door, said: "So, it's the same on the third floor, one key can open the doors of three rooms?" ”
Fang Xunyi shook his head: "No, it's three different keys." ”
The water room is designed as a semicircle, with a dome above it, and the dome is also full of all kinds of strange words, like those on the staircase columns, and there is a coffin made of cement in the center, and the coffin is filled with pillows and bedding, and it seems that whoever wants to live here can only sleep in a cement coffin.
The layout of the remaining brake room is similar to the wooden house where Fang Xunyi lives, but the floor in the house is all dirt, the walls are like cave walls, and there is moss everywhere.
Wei Chiran just glanced at it, and after taking pictures of the layout and some details with his camera, he immediately left with Fang Xunyi.
After returning to the wooden room, Fang Xunyi poured a cup of coffee for Wei Chiran: "What do you think of this building?" ”
Wei Chiran held the coffee cup, because he felt so cold, I don't know why, the third floor felt much colder than the first and second floors, Fang Xunyi, a person with a special physique, put a sweater on it.
Wei Chi shook his head and said, "I just came, and I don't have a clue...... Wow, it's so cold in here. ”
Fang Xunyi looked at the thermometer next to him and said, "It's only twelve degrees here, so it's cold." ”
Wei Chiran said: "This building is too strange, why is it so laid out?" Every floor is different, every room is different, even the temperature is different. ”
Fang Xunyi just nodded, as if thinking about something.
Wei Chi thought of something and asked, "That, let me ask, Feng Rui is sleeping now?" ”
Fang Xunyi looked at Wei Chiran for a long time before replying: "I don't know, maybe, maybe he is watching from the side, no, watching inside." ”
Wei Chiran felt that compared to this building, Fang Xunyi's split personality seemed to be more terrifying, but what was even more terrifying was that Feng Rui told him that Fang Xunyi was the one who split out.
Wei Chiran said: "I have never had a chance to ask you, Feng Rui said, you are the split personality, is it true?" ”
Fang Xunyi didn't seem to know how to explain it, so he just shook his head, but what did he mean by shaking his head?
Wei Chiran just looked at Fang Xunyi like looking at a monster.
Fang Xunyi finally said: "I don't know, I'm not sure myself, if I'm the one who was split, can I know it myself?" ”
Wei Chiran smiled reluctantly: "Yes." ”
Fang Xunyi suddenly asked: "Do you think which one is better than me or Feng Rui?" ”
Wei Chiran didn't know how to answer, so he had to say: "Each has its own strengths, you have to calm down, although Feng Rui is impatient, he must be decisive sometimes." ”
Fang Xunyi was silent for a while, took a sip of coffee and said, "Let's do an analysis." ”
