Chapter 40: Clues

Although I lived in a haunted house, to be honest, in the first two or three days, I felt fear because of the haunted house itself. But in the time that followed, I almost treated this place as an ordinary residence.

However, today's incident has completely cast a shadow on my heart. The two red dots that flickered in the darkness like scarlet eyes were enough to keep me awake all night.

Just as I was in a daze, I suddenly felt a hand gently grasp my hand. I looked down and Lynn was looking at me, she was holding my hand.

"Hangzi, calm down, it's okay."

“…… I know. ”

I forced a smile, but ...... Will it really be like what Lynn said, will it be okay?

That night, just as I expected, I had insomnia. In the early morning of the next day, Lin and I went to the forensic center early, and in the room we had been to before, Senior Sister Mu Mu was sitting on the windowsill, smoking quietly alone.

Normally, it is definitely not okay to smoke here, but it is estimated that Senior Sister Mu Mu is now depressed and can't worry about those cumbersome regulations. Not to mention Senior Sister Mumu, even I am in a terrible mood.

After seeing me and Lin coming, Senior Sister Mu Mu smiled lightly - her face was pale and her lips were a little chapped. I didn't sleep all night, but Senior Sister Mumu probably didn't get much better.

"Sister, you haven't eaten yet, have you?" Lynn walked up and asked.

"Well, you haven't eaten, what about you?"

"We don't have either, let's go get something to eat first, we won't come back if we stay here, right?"

At this time, it was Lin who seemed the strongest, and she almost alone led me and Senior Sister Mumu to a nearby café.

Originally, we were looking for pasta, but through this experience, I realized that after seeing a corpse, I couldn't swallow noodles at all. Senior Sister Mu Mu and Lin are the same. The three of them came out of the noodle shop with white faces, went to the café, and all ordered strong coffee.

What Senior Sister Mu Mu said was indeed right, it is difficult for corpse qi to dissipate from the body, and it is useless to take a bath. All three were hungry, but none had much appetite. After a while, Lin spoke up and said, "Senior sister, how did Wang Dongcheng's body disappear...... Still not conclusive? ”

Senior Sister Mu Mu nodded and said softly: "Well, it's a strange case, and I don't have any clue at all...... Moreover, there has been a lot of movement in this incident, and it is estimated that the serious crime team will also intervene. ”

I remembered the content of the phone call with Senior Sister Mu Mu yesterday, smiled bitterly, and said, "It probably has something to do with that note." ”

“…… Yes, that note could almost be considered a provocation. But...... I thought something was wrong. ”

Senior Sister Mu Mu said, frowned slightly, held the hot coffee in her hand and stopped talking, and she didn't know what she was thinking.

Lin glanced at me, suddenly smiled lightly, and said, "What should I do, do you want to continue the mission?" ”

"What do you mean?"

Lin approached me and whispered, "This C-level mission, we have already completed the first task, that is to say, if you go back here and hand in the task, although there will be no reward, at least you can avoid punishment, right?" ”

“…… That's what I said. ”

Seeing that I was a little hesitant, Lin asked me if I felt a little unwilling, and I gritted my teeth and nodded silently. Lin joked that it was miserable to look at my face yesterday, just like a dead man's face. So she thought I must have had the idea of giving up.

I said not really, but I really saw something yesterday. Lynn asked curiously, what did I see that made me feel like that? I told her that it was two red dots, and that it was so dark outside the door at that time, it was unbelievably black, like a different space.

I only saw two red dots, but I had a gut feeling that there must have been a living creature lurking there. Lynn thought for a moment and said, "You mean to say that the red dots you see are probably a pair of eyes?" I nodded.

Lynn said that we are in trouble right now, but we should not panic because of this. Hangzi, you said it yourself, the place we live in is a haunted house, right? It wasn't out of the imagination that something strange would happen.

Chances are, the thing you're seeing has something to do with the house itself, not the case we're investigating right now, you say?

Lynn's eyes were quietly watching me as she calmly analyzed my approach, and being watched by this gaze, I felt as if I had gained a sense of strength and security. It is often said that people's fear and anxiety are similar to this negative emotions that can be contagious to others.

But positive emotions like this also seem to be very contagious. After pondering for a moment, I told Lynn that even though we haven't even found the shadow of the murderer yet, I still plan to continue the investigation. It's a pity that Wang Dongcheng's matter should have been a breakthrough for us.

However, in a few days, the third class A of Shenglan Private High School will be resumed, and we will have to wait until that time. Lin nodded and said, in fact, she thought the same, she also felt that after the start of school, something would definitely happen in Class A in the third year.

Although this speculation is sorry for the students of Class A in the third year, after all, we have to investigate the truth of the matter, and no one can rest easy if the murderer is not caught.

Lynn and I have already made our decision. I asked Senior Sister Mu Mu how to deal with the case of Wang Dongcheng's missing body, and Senior Sister Mu Mu said that she couldn't handle this matter, so she could only hand it over to her superiors, but she should continue to work in the forensic center in the future.

I said that after that, senior sister, if you have any information related to the disappearance of Shenglan Private High School, please remember to inform us in time. Senior sister said no problem, I'm in a group with you, the horror experience officer, now, and I will definitely do my best.

And when I was about to separate, Senior Sister Mu Mu suddenly pulled me to my side, and then stood on tiptoe, leaned down next to my ear, and said softly, remember what I said to you, right? I'll help you get the job done safely, so don't worry.

I was unexpectedly teased by my senior sister, and I blushed a little embarrassed, but I was quite satisfied. As a result, I turned around and saw Lynn looking at me with a blank face.

"The ......"

"It's okay to go back."

Lin glanced at me faintly, turned and left. And in her eyes, I could see the indifference as if I were looking at a bug......

I feel a little big, I've never experienced this kind of thing before, and I don't know how to deal with it, but anyway, it should be the right thing to do, right?

On this day, when I got home, it wasn't until dinner time that Lin finally took care of me again. After dinner, Dongzi and Lin and I gathered in the living room.

Lin and I arrived in the living room first, Dongzi, the last kid to arrive, came with a blank face, scratched his ass and said, "What's wrong, why did you suddenly call someone over?" Are you going for a late-night snack? ”

"Damn, you've just finished dinner and you're going to have supper in less than half an hour."

Dongzi put his big belly up - this guy, this kid's belly is almost catching up with a pregnant woman.

"Don't you look at my physique, uncle, I'm tall and big, let alone half an hour, even if I eat breakfast, noon and dinner without rest, I don't care at all."

I gave him an angry look, and scolded and sat down quickly, don't talk about it, I have something to say. Lin had been sitting on the side and laughing softly, as if she had never seen this kind of scene, and thought it was funny.

"Hanzi, in fact, if you don't say it, I can probably guess what you want to say, hehe."

Looking at Dongzi's somewhat smug shaking of his head, I raised my eyebrows and said, "Yo, yes, you kid also occasionally has a time when his head is open." ”

"That's, don't you look at who I am - tomorrow the students of Class A of the third year will return to school, are you here to discuss this?"

I nodded and said, "That's right, and then what?" ”

Dongzi scratched his head, licked his face and smiled: "Then I don't know." ”

I turned my head to look at Lin beside me, and then said, "Dongzi, do you remember what Lin said to us when she first joined us?" ”

"What did you say at the beginning? What do you mean? I don't remember it a bit. ”

Looking at the puzzled appearance of the second monk of Dongzi, I gave him a gesture to carry the camera, Dongzi was stunned, tilted his head and thought about it for a long time, and suddenly jumped up with a scream, and the horizontal flesh on his face echoed several times.

"Ahh I remember! Live broadcast! We said we were going to go live! ”

I nodded and said, "That's right, Lin and I have been investigating information for the past two days for the mission, so this matter has been delayed." But now it's time to start thinking about it in earnest. ”

With that, I touched my trouser pocket, and pulled out a pile of crumpled banknotes from it and placed it on the dining table.

"This is all my possessions."

Seeing this, Dongzi also silently took out a bunch of crumpled banknotes and steel hammers from his ass pocket. Lynn looked at us and took out a small pink purse from her side, which contained about three or four hundred dollars.

After adding up the money of the three of us, it is now a little more than 400 yuan......

This month, there are still more than 20 days that have not passed, counting Senior Sister Mumu, the four big living people, it will be almost 400 yuan to spend a month...... I guess I'll have to drink the northwest wind every other day.

Yes, the cost of living, this is the most real problem we are facing right now. In the past two days, because of the relationship between the two girls, we have also added a lot of things.

Originally, there were two big men living in this ghost house, Dongzi and me, and when we lived by ourselves, the house was messy like a dog kennel, and it was just a matter of making do.

But having a girl is different, people will pass, this and that are prepared, carefully taken care of, but also have the warm appearance of home. Dongzi and I don't have any opinions on the cost of this, after all, it is more comfortable to live.

However, when I came out to rent a house and live for anything, I didn't know when I bought them one by one and spent them little by little, but now when I look at it, there is less than one-tenth of the thousands of yuan left.

I'm good, Dongzi is good, and Senior Sister Mumu is not very good at managing money, so the economic power was decided to be handed over to Lin after a simple discussion, and now Lin has all of our living expenses in his hands, a total of four hundred yuan.
