Qin Ruolin dragged her tired body and staggered towards her home on the top floor, and in the silent stairwell, there was only the heavy sound of her crashing as she walked.

"Damn landlord, you're taking my words as wind again." Qin Ruolin tightened the satchel on her shoulder, gently pushed the green silk hanging in front of her forehead to the back of her head with her left hand, and sighed helplessly in the dark corridor.

The five-storey building is at least 20 or 30 years old, and the occasional peeling metal exterior wall finish makes the exterior wall of the small building look pitted. The rooms on the first, second and third floors are rented out as warehouses, piled up with all kinds of goods, usually the doors are locked, and only every weekend or Monday someone will come to pick up, buy or count, and that is also the busiest time of the week for this old house.

Only four or five floors have been converted into rooms for rent, but only two of them are currently occupied.

Qin Ruolin, who had just come back from overtime, was in a state of confusion, and just wanted to fall on the bed and sleep to the fullest.

Tapping the bracelet to the small screen on the wall outside the house, the door opened with a beep and was closed into the wall, and when she walked into the room, she threw her backpack to the ground casually, and then gently placed her beloved camera on the computer desk.

Opened the curtain and pressed the switch, the originally black glass instantly faded into transparency and disappeared, and then a slight night breeze blew on his face, slowly hitting Qin Ruolin's face.

In the dark night sky, waterfall-like beams of light towered in the distance, connecting heaven and earth, and the light points shuttling back and forth there were like colorful pictures in Qin Ruolin's eyes.

Qin Ruolin had a pair of brown eyes, her beautiful face was tired at the moment, and her long black hair was scattered casually on her shoulders.

"By the way, I ate a bread at night...... grunting voice sounded from her stomach, Qin Ruolin withdrew her gaze to look out the window, and walked into the bathroom next to her as she spoke.

"Sure enough, there was nothing." After taking a bath, Qin Ruolin, who had a towel on her head, flipped through the refrigerator and cupboards at home.

"No, I'm so hungry that I can't sleep without eating now, and tomorrow is the weekend anyway." After paying attention, Qin Ruolin immediately changed her clothes, took her key wallet and went out.

**********************************

On the edge of the city, there are many people who come here from all over the world, living here, forming a settled city, compared with the urban area of the city, although the living conditions here are not high, but the cheap rent and necessities make it attractive to people who have left their hometowns and are looking for opportunities and dreams.

Walking through the door downstairs, the slightest coolness made Qin Ruolin shrink her neck, and after pulling the zipper to the top, she walked out.

When passing by another small building next to it, Qin Ruolin unconsciously looked at this special building.

This small building and the one she rented are also only five floors, and the same mottled exterior walls make these two small buildings like twin brothers, at this moment, this building is dark, and there seems to be no one, but Qin Ruolin knows that there is actually a strange person living in this small building like a haunted house.

Probably still a murderer!

One night just half a month ago, when she was drying clothes on the balcony of her room, she inadvertently looked into the alley downstairs and saw two black shadows standing opposite each other, one of them bent over and curled up, and it seemed that a little scarlet liquid was dripping from the other's abdomen to the ground.

Under the reflection of the street lamp in the distance, the figures of the two were stretched out, hitting the ground deep in the alley, and another upright black shadow was holding a handful of metallic things in his hand.

Oh, my God! That's a knife! Or rather, a dagger, someone killed with a dagger! She couldn't believe that this scene was happening in front of her, downstairs in her house.

Then, the figure of the stabbed man leaned against the wall, hunched up, while the man with the dagger casually opened the iron door of the small building next to him, and the piercing creak was like the old tune of the dream demon.

But just as the man was about to walk into the small building, he stopped for some reason.

At that moment, Qin Ruolin was flustered, the clothes that were going to be dried had already been grabbed by her excitedly, but she couldn't control herself from taking her eyes away, and could only stare involuntarily at everything that happened downstairs.

I saw the figure downstairs holding on to the open iron door, under the street lamp, the other party's half-length hair was gently raised in the dim light, just when Qin Ruolin guessed what he was going to do, he suddenly turned his head and raised his head to look at himself.

She immediately shrank her head in fright, and squatted down behind the stone railing of the balcony.

Oh, my God! Did he see me? Did he notice me? Will be killed and killed?? In an instant, Qin Ruolin's thoughts turned a thousand times.

Perhaps after a few minutes, when she poked her head out and looked down again, the alley was empty, and neither the man nor the stabbed man was missing, as if the scene had just happened was just her own hallucination.

Qin Ruolin came back to her senses, and also took her gaze back from the alley, and kept walking towards the convenience store that was not too far away, leaving her memories behind her for the time being.

Qin Ruolin sighed, since that night, she has been frightened for a week, and she wants to call the police but suffers from having no evidence, and it is difficult to win the trust of the police without evidence.

For fear of being killed by the other party, she was reluctant to rent the room she was renting here.

Although this building is a bit old, it is not easy to find a cheap and fully furnished place.

If it weren't for the dead and the remote, it would be difficult to rent it yourself.

*******************************

Coming out of the convenience store, Qin Ruolin walked back along the road with a large bag of food in her hand.

Could it be that what I saw that night was my own hallucination?

Although people were quite tired during that time due to continuous overtime and staying up late, why didn't the other party come to the door for so long and there was no movement?

After coming out of the convenience store, I turned around the corner and continued to walk towards the small building, and the shops on both sides became more and more sparse, and the pedestrians passing by became fewer and fewer.

Just as Qin Ruolin was thinking wildly, a slight sound of wind came from her back.

Qin Ruolin, who was in a daze, instinctively wanted to avoid the side, but the heavy blow still hit her right shoulder.

Under the pain, Qin Ruolin staggered forward a few steps, and then turned around.

Two young men with strips of cloth covering their noses and mouths appeared in front of them, dressed in fancy clothes and messy hairstyles, both carrying a wooden stick nearly a meter long.

The two were a little stunned, they were supposed to greet each other on the back of the head, but they were noticed by the other party and only hit each other on the shoulder.

Although there was a discrepancy from the original plan, the two came back to their senses in an instant, and their eyes showed viciousness.

In the face of the attack, Qin Ruolin let go of the shopping bag in her hand for the first time, and her instinct to practice martial arts since she was a child made her instantly swing.

Although she was very nervous, the instinct formed by practicing martial arts since she was a child made her forget her fear for a while.

Facing the swinging long stick, she leaned to the side, and at the same time as letting the long stick pass, Qin Ruolin took a step forward, slammed out with her right hand, hitting the opponent's chin, and then instantly grabbed the opponent's right hand holding the stick with both hands, twisted it hard, and the long stick fell to the ground.

Qin Ruolin didn't stop, and as soon as her right leg was lifted, she came to the other party's vital point, and the man suddenly covered his lower body with both hands and fell to the ground.

At the same time, the long stick of another accomplice also fell, Qin Ruolin was about to dodge, but the sharp pain from her shoulder, the movement slowed down, and she could only use her hands to protect her in front of her, and her hands hurt, and the person also took a few steps back and fell to the ground.

The pain of her arms piercing her heart, the other party was ruthless, Qin Ruolin knew that she couldn't stop now, although she was not far from her small building, it was the most desolate section in the neighborhood, sparsely populated and it was the middle of the morning, and the enraged gangsters would not be merciful to her.

She immediately struggled to get up from the ground, and before she could react, she was hit hard in the back of the head, and she fell to the ground in the darkness before her eyes.

Vaguely, she saw a man standing behind her.

"Also...... Are there accomplices? Careless......" Qin Ruolin thought helplessly before falling into a coma.

"Who is it?" The man next to him suddenly shouted.

"Your father." A young male voice gently drifted into Qin Ruolin's ears.

Qin Ruolin, who was lying down, tilted her head, and under the dim street lamp, in a blur, the somewhat familiar hair rose gently in the air in front of her.
