Chapter 83: The Woman Who Hanged (1)

Yan Junze no longer felt sleepy, so he simply got up and poured himself a glass of water, leaned back on the sofa and sat down.

He didn't answer Zhang Xiaomo.

It turns out that Zhang Xiaomo is very powerful, and no matter what scene he encounters, he is surprisingly calm, which can be said to bring the calmness of a three-star soul slayer to the extreme.

And, experienced.

The dream just now felt very real, as if the hated mother-in-law was really standing in front of him.

And Zhang Xiaomo didn't even come out, so he knew what happened to Yan Junze, so he had to be impressed by this woman again.

But at this moment, the feeling that I hadn't remembered anything very important two days ago filled Yan Junze's chest again.

He took a sip of water, trying to remember, wondering what important things he had forgotten.

But after recalling it for a long time, I was still confused, but I faintly felt unsteady in my heart, and I would be flustered for no reason.

After drinking the water, he just sat on the sofa and fell asleep unconsciously.

At noon the next day, Zhang Xiaomo packed her travel bag, left her phone number for Yan Junze, and then left first.

Yan Junze told Zhang Xiaomo that he would not leave until the next day on the grounds that he had to have the last meal with Lin Ling and Su Muyao upstairs.

There are still two tasks waiting for him here, these are opportunities to light up the space-time map, and he can't afford to waste them.

So after Zhang Xiaomo left, he first went to Lin Dong and renewed the lease for two days.

Then I went to Xinglong Supermarket and bought two charging flashlights and a gray mask, took the flashlight back and plugged it into the plug board in the house, and kept charging it.

According to the supermarket owner, this flashlight can be lit for about an hour and a half when fully charged, and it should take less than an hour and a half to explore the task of [Hanging Woman], not to mention that he also has a second flashlight.

Of course, Yan Junze can't complete two tasks at once, so he plans to complete the [Hanged Woman] tonight, and then go to the Lin family's courtyard tomorrow night to complete the [Lost Handkerchief] task.

The reason why it was chosen to be carried out at night is that only at night can it be hidden, and if it is changed to daytime, it may be seen by any person, which may make the mission fail.

After having a self-cooked hot pot with Lin Ling and Su Muyao, Yan Junze and Zhang Xiaomo did not tell the truth about that night, which made the two couples still thank them, thinking that if they didn't suddenly appear, the two might be ruined.

Yan Junze didn't say anything, he had a good time eating with these two people, but he didn't dare to drink, and Lin Ling didn't dare to persuade him to drink when he saw that he was young and immature.

After about nine o'clock, the banquet was dismissed, and after thanking him, Yan Junze returned downstairs.

Looking at the flashlights, both were fully charged.

Now it's just the dead of night and the action begins.

At about half-past eleven, it was hard to see a single person in the street at the foot of the rock.

Yan Junze put on a black coat, put on a gray mask, and went out with a mobile phone and two flashlights.

He pre-muted his phone.

Along this street, you can only see lights on in one or two houses along the way, and even Lin Ling and Su Muyao who are upstairs have fallen asleep.

Soon walked to the number 39 of this old street.

Looking up, it is still the same as in the daytime, the door panel is broken, but the outer wall is good, there are large cobwebs at the door, and no one has been in for a long time.

Yan Junze stood in the corner of the wall, first looked around, and after being sure that there was no one, he turned around and walked up the steps of No. 39.

The stairs are made of stone, making them very sturdy to step on.

A few steps to the door, without unlocking, directly stepped through the tattered door panel and got in.

After standing still, Yan Junze turned his head to look in the direction of the street through the door panel, no one passed by, and it was very quiet.

He turned, turned on the flashlight, pressed the flashlight very low, and walked into the house.

In the old-fashioned buildings built in the countryside, the outside rooms were all spare rooms for the façade, which were usually vacant, except for a few stools, and there was no other furniture.

Yan Junze quickly walked through the empty room, and there was a musty smell in the air.

But fortunately, he was wearing a mask, and he had already expected that there would be no sunlight here all day long, and the air would definitely not be good.

During the day, I looked at the house outside, it was a three-story self-built house, in disrepair, and the exterior walls were falling off in many places.

The stairs upstairs were also narrow, Yan Junze came to the staircase, illuminated it with a flashlight, and found that these stairs were covered with moss.

Apparently it's damp in the house.

But if you look closely, the corner of the staircase also extends downward.

That is, there is also a basement in this building.

Standing for a while, Yan Junze was thinking about whether to go up or down.

The mission description suggests that Ye Zhennan, who has hanged herself, is still dangling under the beams in the house. But he didn't say which layer it was, which made Yan Junze feel embarrassed.

I used a flashlight to shine in the direction of the basement, it seemed that it was darker inside, there was no upstairs brightness, at least some of the moonlight could still penetrate above the second floor, which was much stronger than the basement.

"When a person chooses a place to hang himself, where does he usually choose?"

Yan Junze stood at the top of the stairs pondering, and at this time there was a dead silence all around, and no sound came.

He wants to put himself in the heart of the woman who begs for death, and if he must ask for death without being discovered and save himself, he must choose a place where few people go to hang himself.

So in this way, only the basement seems to be a good fit.

After raising the flashlight and irradiating the second floor, Yan Junze gave up going upstairs and chose to go directly to the basement.

Obviously, the stairs leading to the basement are even more slippery, with a lot of green moss covering the feet, and the stairs leading to the basement are not even guardrailed in order to save money.

Yan Junze only had one hand on the wall, and carefully moved down step by step.

As long as it doesn't slide down directly in the flat sand and fall on the ground, it's better to take a little time to land safely.

So he barely made any noise when he went downstairs.

The flashlight shone on the slippery steps, and as he descended about halfway down the stairs in the basement, a strange sound came from upstairs.

This sound, somewhat similar to the sound of a rope being tightened and made to the extreme, is particularly ear-catching in the silence of the night.

Yan Junze was stunned for a moment: "Did you guess wrong?" This woman was not hanging herself in the basement, but upstairs? ”

However, from where he stood, he could only vaguely tell that the sound was coming from upstairs, and it was unknown whether it was from the second or third floor.

Why don't you just go up and have a look?

Yan Junze hesitated for a moment, and then denied it.

Now that you're halfway down the stairs, it's not too late to look at the basement before going up.

Just as he was about to continue descending the stairs, Yan Junze suddenly stopped.

Because he heard a voice from upstairs just now, he subconsciously shone it upwards with a flashlight.

And at this moment, the light of his flashlight had just been withdrawn from above.

But at the moment of retraction, I saw a pair of feet appear at the corner of the first floor, a pair of feet wearing white women's leather shoes. Next to the foot, there is also a rope the thickness of a finger.
