A few drops of water splashed on the fat man's face at some point, and he gently wiped it with the back of his hand and said, "Why don't you make a call and ask about the property?" ”

"Ask what?"

"Does this old lady live here? Is there any information registered for her? How long have you been staying? ”

"Will they tell me?"

The fat man stood on the electronic scale and weighed it, and continued: "I have worked so hard and am frightened, I am actually heavy again!" I drink cold water and grow meat! Alas! I can't help it! Well, what did you just say, property? You are also a tenant of the woods apartment, and you have the right to know that something so big has happened! Do you have a property phone? ”

"Yes!"

"Then let's fight!" The fat man urged.

Lin Chen hesitated and took out his mobile phone, glanced at the fat man, and dialed the phone number of the property in the forest community. The phone rang for a moment, and someone answered, and before Lin Chen could speak, he opened his mouth angrily.

"Comrade policeman, I've explained it to you n times! I'm the head of this building, I don't know yet! We don't have this person here, we just don't have such a person! There is no registration of this dead old lady Liu at all! There is no why! We don't know where she came from! The penthouse hasn't been sold yet! It's an empty house with four white walls that no one lives in! You asked us for her information, and we didn't have any information at all! You ask me, who shall we ask? The middle-aged woman's deep voice was obviously impatient, and after a pause, she said, "I've said everything I need to say!" Who the hell is that old lady and where did she come from? Why die here? The devil knows! ”

Lin Chen listened silently, biting his lip and not making a sound.

"Hey! Feed! Speak! ”

Lin Chen gently hung up the phone, put the phone into his pocket, shrugged his shoulders, and spread his hands, "The property thought I was a policeman, but before I could ask, she made it clear!" Saying that, the police were also confused that this old lady Liu died here, so they called the property again and again! I'm not wrong! There shouldn't be such an old lady in our building! ”

The fat man sat down on the chair, leaned sideways, put his hand on the back of the chair, and said stupidly: "Yes, an old lady who eats tree bark appeared out of thin air, and died in your building, and has been dead for some time!" When I spoke to the old lady, I knew she was a ghost! Pity these policemen, I don't know what else they have to check! ”

Lin Chen lowered his head and smiled bitterly, "Yes!" ”

"Or, like this!" The fat man thought for a while, as if he had an idea, and said, "It's better to call the property and ask if you can contact the old man surnamed He." Hopefully we'll find some more information from him! ”

"That's the only way to go!"

Lin Chen took out his mobile phone again and called the property.

"Property?"

"Hmmm! Do you still want to ask about the dead old lady? We're driven crazy by your cops! Didn't you say you were going to come and check the materials? Why did you call again? ”

"I'm not a policeman!"

The other party's phone was silent for a moment and said, "Oh! I'm sorry! Mistaken! What's the matter with you? ”

Lin Chen looked at the fat man and said to the phone: "I am a tenant in our community, can you help me contact an old man surnamed He in the building opposite the building where I live?" ”

"What's it called?"

What is it called, Lin Chen frowned, and asked the fat man in a low voice.

"It seems to be called, Ho, He, He Xingguang!" The fat man said.

"He Xingguang! Right! He Xingguang in Building 19! Lin Chen repeated.

"What's the matter with him?" The other party asked.

"Oh! We are chess friends! I can't find his phone anymore! Lin Chen had an idea.

"Wait!"

After a few minutes or so, the phone

(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)

A voice came from there: "Sir, what you are looking for is He Xingguang from Building 19, right?" ”

"Hmm!"

"Are you mistaken? We checked several times, but we didn't find such a person in Building 19, and we didn't register such a person in our community! ”

"Is it tenants or outsiders, you have neglected?"

"Nope! Foreign, we are registered! Won't miss it! ”

"Wouldn't it be that the name of the child in the family was registered, and you ignored it?"

"We have all thought of this question! There really is no such person! ”

"Are you sure?"

"Sure! The computer system checked! If you think about it, you can't be mistaken! ”

"Well, thank you!"

Putting down the phone, Lin Chen didn't say anything.

The fat man asked nervously, "What's wrong?" Has the property found this person? ”

Lin Chen still didn't speak, he walked to the window alone and looked out of the window silently.

"What's wrong? You're talking! "The fat man was a little anxious.

Lin Chen yawned, rubbed his nose with his hand, turned around, and said lightly, "What are you talking about!" I'm going crazy too! It's all in vain! It's not good, even this old man surnamed He doesn't exist at all! ”

"What?"

"The property said, there is no such He Xingguang at all!"

"What the hell!"

Suddenly, Lin Chen's phone rang, and he took out his mobile phone to see that it was from the property.

"Are you Mr. Lin?" It's still the woman's voice.

"Hmm!"

"The He Xingguang you were looking for just now, we found it!"

When Lin Chen heard this, his face was excited, he turned around, approached the fat man, put the mobile phone between him and the fat man's head, and turned on the hands-free.

"I heard from a colleague of mine that there is such an old man named He Xingguang in Building 19 of our community, but he has been dead for several months, the person died, and our computer system has deleted this person, I am new here, I don't know about it! I'm sorry! ”

"Dead? Isn't there a mistake? ”

The reply from the property made the two people completely petrified! Thinking back to the wrinkled face, bronzed skin, sunken eye sockets, shriveled cheeks, and a living face of the uncle surnamed He; Recall the voice of his voice as he spoke; Thinking back to his walking and standing posture, such a vivid little old man has been dead for a few months, this is clearly a joke!

Lin Chen said: "It is impossible for him to die!" I saw it again yesterday! Are you sure it's He Xingguang from Building 19 I'm looking for? ”

"Aren't you asking about He Xingguang from Building 19? If it's this person, there's nothing wrong with that! For fear of making mistakes, I made sure with my colleagues that this kind of thing is not just nonsense! ”

"Hmmm! Do you know how he died? Lin Chen paused and asked.

"I heard my colleague say that he overdosed on sleeping pills and died in the central hospital!"

"Oh!"

"Is there anything else you can help us with?"

"Hmm!" Lin Chen thought for a while, "By the way, has there ever been an ambulance in our community to rescue an uncle surnamed Ge?" Is that the wife of the old lady who died in our building? ”

"It's this old lady again!"

The tone of the other party's voice seemed to annoy the old lady, "Wait, I'll check it for you!" I'll call you later! ”

"Good!"

Lin Chen hung up his mobile phone, and the two of them just looked at each other, no one spoke, and the atmosphere was suffocating. After a while, the property call came in, and when Lin Chen answered the phone, the fat man hurriedly came up.

"Mr. Lin, I checked it for you, our community

(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)

There is no such Uncle Ge as you said, and even the old lady who died is not from our community! Not to mention any Uncle Ge! Since there have been residents in the community, there have been one or two ambulances, but not because of him. ”

"Well, you all have records?"

"Yes, the ambulance came into the community, we have registered! Once because a pregnant woman in the community was in labor, and once because a child got stuck in his throat while eating. ”

"Oh! I know. ”

"Hehe, hehe!"

The fat man smiled bitterly, shook his head, reached out and took the cigarette case from the table, smoked two cigarettes, and handed one to Lin Chen.

Lin Chen waved his hand.

The fat man pinned the cigarette to his ear, took the lighter out of his trouser pocket, and after several attempts to light it, he threw it impatiently on the table.

"I've got it here!"

Lin Chen took out his lighter and lit a cigarette for the fat man.

The sound of a shrill siren came from downstairs, each more urgent than the other.

The fat man held a cigarette in his hand, walked out of the window, and looked out of the window.

"Something happened again?" Lin Chen said.

"I don't know!"

Lin Chen also followed, stretching his neck to look down. Outside, on the path, two police cars whizzed by, drifting away. Standing by the window, the fat man pinched his fingers with a cigarette and trembled slightly. He took a few long puffs of cigarette, and the smoke rose like a blooming rose, and the room was filled with the smell of nicotine.

"Let's run!" The fat man said.

"Run? Where can you run? Lin Chen asked.

"Go to the countryside, or other cities, you run with me, by the way, call Ye Jiangchuan again!" Well, and Bai Meimei! ”

"Really running?"

"Of course it is! Look! It's all ghosts! Even the old man He who chatted is also a ghost! Also, Wu Shangyan, the TV host mentioned by Old Man He, when he mentioned this name, I felt that something was wrong! Wu Shangyan is dead, and he can still have a relationship with him, what do you think he will be! I just didn't think much of it at the time! Xu Aqi is dead! Yang Yuanshan is also dead! Who would have thought of it! I almost hanged myself, you almost jumped off the building, and tomorrow I don't know what will happen again! The ghost of the six-fingered woman has not yet dispersed, and an old lady Liu has popped up, if we stay like this, no one will be able to live! Even if you don't die, you'll go crazy! ”

"In a few days, don't you really like it here? You don't want to spend a few more days as a god? ”

"The days of the gods? You're still in the mood! The fat man smiled bitterly, "It's rare that you are still in the mood to enjoy any fairy days, I don't know if you ever thought about it when you were soaking in the hot spring, the last moment you were still singing, and the next moment maybe the woman in black would emerge in the comfortable hot spring!" ”

"If you don't want to, it's too peaceful!"

After Lin Chen finished speaking, he took out a napkin from the cardboard box on the table, squatted on the ground carefully and carefully wiped his leather shoes. He pointed to the spotlessly polished shoe foot that had reached up to the fat man. "See! Even if you die tomorrow, you will have to polish your shoes shiny! ”

The fat man looked at Lin Chen, put the cigarette in his mouth, and took a piece of paper from the table with one hand, and wiped his leather shoes.

Lin Chen smiled and said, "That's right!" What are you afraid of! ”

The fat man turned the paper ball in his hand into a ball, threw it into the paper basket, and said, "Okay, just listen to you, it just so happens that there is still a little salary in the team that has not been settled with me!" When I'm done paying the money, let's go and get out of here!" ”

Lin Chen reminded: "Doesn't it necessarily mean that you can escape if you run somewhere else?" That thing is coming to us, and it can always be found! Xu Aqi went on a business trip to another city and died! Besides, where are we going? ”

The fat man listened silently, extinguished the cigarette butt, lit another one, and just watched it burn quietly.

Lin Chen fell into deep thought.
