Eda Apartments.

Fifth floor.

Apartment 509.

Click, click, the concrete stairwell at four o'clock in the morning, the sound of quiet footsteps.

Fang Zheng carried a duffel bag containing personal toiletries and walked into the apartment building, where there was no elevator, and he needed to go straight up to the fifth floor.

Before he came.

Gao Shuhua had already arranged a place for him to live.

Gao Shuhua left the Gao family to monitor the situation in the old apartment building, as well as the entry and exit of various people.

At this time, Fang Zheng only had a duffel bag in his hand.

The knife case, the guitar backpack, was not carried on his back.

In any case, the ghost head knife is also a controlled knife, and it is naturally impossible to carry it on the plane.

Therefore, Fang Zheng took the internal arrangement of the Gao family, took land transportation, and brought it into Nanyue by the Gao family to give it to him. And the land transportation will take about two or three days, and it will arrive tomorrow or the day after tomorrow.

After all, this apartment building has been built for a long time.

People walk in the stairs where the space is somewhat oppressive and not well ventilated, and the smell is not good.

Although the lime powder has only been painted in recent years, the southern Guangdong area is seaside and humid and warm, and it is estimated that the wall tiles behind the lime powder have already become moldy, and there is a lingering musty smell between the noses.

In Fang Zheng's mind, he suddenly jumped out of a passage that he had learned in a Chinese textbook when he was a child.

"The gold and jade are outside, and the defeat is in it".

According to some simple information he found on the Internet.

The Eda apartment was built in the sixties of the last century.

The building is eight storeys high.

The investor is a big boss in Hong Kong.

Later, due to various reasons, the apartment building changed hands several times, some developed hotels, some developed restaurants, and some developed shopping malls, but each time the business was bleak, and it closed down within a year.

It wasn't until it was renamed Eda Apartment and converted into an apartment building that was rented out to tenants from all over the world, but this time it was closed down again and has been in business since the 90s.

So, the apartment building is very old.

If calculated according to the life expectancy of a person, it is now considered to be about to enter the old age, and in another one or two decades, it will be a dangerous building waiting to be demolished.

Smack.

With a crisp sound, the square figure with a duffel bag finally came to the corridor on the fifth floor.

A minute or two later, Fang Zheng saw a bowl of raw rice on the door of a house, and there was incense sticks on the raw rice.

Next to the raw rice, there are two incense candles.

In addition to this, there is also a copper basin with ashes of paper money ingots that have been burned.

Fang Zheng's eyes were surprised.

"I heard that people here are more traditional, more believe in metaphysics, feng shui, many people will be in the first seven miles after death, in front of the house to burn paper money ingots, put the dead people's meal, summon relatives home to gather, see the last face, pour out the pain of missing... I didn't expect to come across this unique tradition when I first arrived. ”

Coincidentally, 509 was right next door to that house.

The apartments on the left and right sides of 509 are 511 and 507.

The apartments on both sides of the corridor have odd numbers on one side.

On the other side, the apartment numbers are all even.

It's a convenient way to find an apartment number.

And the resident who burned paper money at the door to put the dead man's meal was the 507 apartment. Opposite Apartment 507 is Apartment 508.

Maybe it's because it's still early, the office workers haven't gotten up yet, the doors of their homes are closed, and the entire corridor is deserted, and only Fang Zheng is wandering blindly.

"The dead are great, go all the way. I'm just passing by, and there's no weirdness. ”

If Fang Zheng wanted to go to the door of Apartment 509 and knock on the door, he must first pass through Apartment 507, so when passing by incense candles and dead people's meals, Fang Zheng did not disrespect the deceased and did full courtesy.

And when you come to the door of apartment 509, knock.

Knock, knock.

Fang Zheng left the duffel bag, raised his right hand, and knocked on the door with his knuckles, but no one came out to open the door after waiting for two minutes.

Knock knock.

Fang Zheng knocked on the door a few more times, and the person stood at the door and waited for a few minutes, but no one opened the door for him, not even the voice responded, and there was no footsteps in the room.

The room behind the door was silent.

As if no one lives?

Fang Zheng tried a few more times, but no one in the room responded.

"Could it be that the apartment room number is wrong? This Gao Shuhua is too unreliable. Fang Zheng frowned.

He came overnight like this, and he was dusty all the way, but he didn't know that he would be closed to him as soon as he came to the ground.

Fang Zheng took out his mobile phone and checked the apartment room number again.

That's right.

It is indeed the 509 apartment.

The man stood in the doorway, groaning slightly.

The eye of the preconceived child!

There was a cold light floating under Fangzheng's eyes, but no abnormalities were found.

The wings of the nose sniffed a few times.

There was also no smell of blood in the air at the door.

For the time being, the possibility that the Gao family's surveillance point was exterminated because it was exposed, and it seems that something was temporary

Fang Zheng held his duffel bag in his hand and stood and waited for about ten minutes, at this time, many tenants living in apartment buildings had already begun to prepare to get up early for morning exercises, or get up early to go to the nearby vegetable market to buy vegetables.

People were looking at Fang Zheng in the corridor with wonder and surprise.

At this time, a very fashionable young man who was about to go out for a morning run, saw Fang Zheng waiting at the door of apartment 509, first took off the wireless sports headphones on his ears, and then enthusiastically asked, "Dude is here to find someone?"

Fang Zheng saw that the other party was enthusiastic, so he pretended to say with a wry smile: "Yes, I just graduated from college, and I originally planned to come to Nanyue to join a friend introduced by my relatives, but I waited for more than ten minutes and didn't wait for anyone, it seems that someone happened to be not at home." ”

The young man who jogged in the morning smiled and said, "At this point, he should go out to buy takeout." ”

After speaking, the young man who jogged in the morning raised his wrist and looked at the time on his watch, and then said, "He will be back in about five minutes." ”

Hearing this, Fang Zheng was surprised: "How do you know so clearly?"

The young man who ran in the morning said with a sunny smile: "I go out for a morning run at about this point every day, the new residents of the 509 apartment, in the past ten days, I can go out every day to go out for a morning run and see him buy takeout and come back." ”

It turned out to be a bit of detail control.

Fang Zheng thanked the other party: "Thank you, we may be neighbors in the future, and I don't know what to call it yet?"

"Just call me Chen Yi. Chen's Chen, the righteousness of righteousness. The young man who jogged in the morning introduced himself.

"Oh, what a coincidence, my surname is also Chen, I didn't expect that we are still our family, my name is Chen Chichi. ”

Fang Zheng stretched out his hand to shake hands with the other party.

Chen Yi was also very happy to meet his family, and the two talked happily.

When Fang Zheng saw Chen Yi go downstairs for a morning run, at this time, a man about 30 years old in the stairwell carrying a plastic bag walked into the corridor on the fifth floor.

The man walked straight to apartment 509, and when he saw Fang Zheng standing in the doorway, the man was stunned.

This is obviously already recognizing the identity of Fangzheng.
