Chapter 72: A surprisingly quiet apartment building
No wonder the security guard here is not in the security room, and he hasn't come to trouble me, dare to love, he has died in this sewer?
Strange, why did this guy die here? Could it be that he, like the bald policeman, was killed by someone?
I didn't dare touch the corpse, but I thought of something else, and finally gritted my teeth and turned the corpse over.
Maybe I'll be able to find what I'm looking for from this corpse?
The body of the security guard was turned over and turned on its back.
I thought this guy was probably also angry, and he couldn't hide it. However, his eyes were closed, and his expression looked painful.
There was not a trace of blood on his body, nor was there any sign of being beaten or shot.
This guy wasn't killed by someone, could it be that he had a heart attack and died here? Or, suicide by poisoning?
The security guard, who had become a dead body, seemed to be holding something in his right hand.
I crouched down and took a picture of my lighter, and it turned out to be a bunch of keys.
Key? Could it be that there is a key to the door of the apartment building? Well, since he's a security guard, that's a big possibility.
However, even if I found the key to the door of the apartment building, I still couldn't get in because I didn't have the access card, and I couldn't get in even if I had the key.
By the way, what about the access card? Perhaps, this security guard will have an access card on him?
Thinking of this, I couldn't be afraid, so I searched the corpse of the security guard, even if the corpse already emitted some kind of unpleasant smell.
However, after a long time, I didn't find any cards on the corpse.
So, he always carries a flashlight, right? It's pitch black here, how can you walk without a flashlight?
But the strange thing is that this security guard doesn't even have a flashlight on his body? This disappointed me.
There's no way this guy can get down here without a flashlight, unless, like mine, his flashlight is thrown away?
I looked around again, but I couldn't find anything like a flashlight or an access card. It seems that these things have been taken away.
I looked at the body and shook my head.
It seems that the only thing I can take away is the key that the dead man is holding in his hand.
I want to break the dead man's hand and take the keys away. However, although the security guard was dead, his fingers were extremely stiff. It is said that if a dead man holds something tightly, no one should try to break it. However, I don't believe in this evil. So, I broke the dead man's hand with all my might, and even accidentally broke one of his fingers.
Sorry for the offense! However, I just want to save people, so please borrow your key and don't blame me!
I finally got the keys, but at this moment, suddenly, the security guard lying on the ground moved!
The dead security guard suddenly opened his eyes and choked me by the neck.
I was defenseless, and I was almost suffocated by this dead man's neck! I struggled, but the strength of the dead ghost was great, and his eyes were wide open, like the demons of hell, and they were about to breathe fire!
If I continue like this, I'm afraid I'll become another dead man!
In desperation, I gave this guy a kick. This kick is the lifeblood of this guy.
At last, the dead ghost let go of his hand, and he fell, never to get back up again.
I touched my neck, panting. On the neck, there are still deep pinch marks.
Annoyed, I kicked the corpse twice, and this time, he would never cheat again.
Good fellow, I almost got strangled to death by a dead body just for this set of keys! It seems that I should be more careful in the future.
I put the key on my body and walked towards the place where there was light. After a long uphill walk, I finally reached an exit.
It was a glass door, but it had been closed from the outside, and it was impossible to push it open from the inside.
I took out the keys and tried a few of them, but I couldn't open them.
Strange, didn't that security guard come in from here, why did he get locked here?
I couldn't have the patience to try the keys again, so I simply broke the glass. Then, I reached out and felt the doorknob outside. There was a button on the doorknob that had been pressed. So, I pressed the button again, turned the doorknob again, and the door opened.
It seems that at the critical moment, it is better to be simple and rude!
Walking out of that door, there is a section of uphill road ahead. After a short walk up the hill, I finally came to another door.
Above that door, there are a few words written - "Property Management Office".
Unexpectedly, I actually went to the property management room of this apartment building?
The door to the property management room was locked, and there was no glass, so I couldn't do it again.
So, I had to take out the bunch of keys, and patiently, tried them one by one. However, this time I was lucky, and in a few moments, the door opened, and I walked in.
In the property management room, it is also dark. However, I found the light switch, and when I turned it on, the room lit up.
On the wall of the room, there are a few pieces of paper, but they are all about the property management system of this apartment building, the charging standard and so on. Originally, this apartment building was called "Ping An Apartment".
On the wall, I also found a set of security uniforms, and in the jacket pocket of this security uniform, I found a card, which was an access control card!
Great, that's what I need! With this card, I was able to move in and out of the apartment building freely. Thank God, and thank you to the rat who bit me, although I say that it seems a bit disrespectful to God.
However, there are no flashlights.
However, I still found another important thing in the drawer of my desk - the registration list of Ping An Apartment residents.
However, when I looked around, I couldn't find the name "Mary". In other words, there is no such person as Mary in this building.
Am I in the wrong place? Or is it the record in the police department's archives that is simply wrong?
At this moment, my heart was cold, and it seemed that all my previous efforts were in vain.
However, another thought came to me again.
Perhaps, Mary is just the English name of the woman I'm looking for? If Mary had been a teacher at St. Mary's English School, she would probably have used the English name "Mary", but her real name was not that. Or maybe Mary lived here and deliberately registered a different name?
All of these possibilities are possible, but I still don't have a clue when I look at the list of unfamiliar names. Who's the Mary I'm looking for?
Forget it, I'd better not think about this guest list, just go into this building and go door to door.
Actually, it's not hard to find Mary. After all, a blonde and blue-eyed foreign woman is conspicuous everywhere. As long as I can enter the building and ask any one of them, I should be able to ask about her whereabouts, right?
So, I grabbed the access card and left the property management room.
I didn't go back the way I came, but came out through another door in the property management room. When I came out, I found that I was back on the ground on the first floor.
The property management room, located in the far corner of the yard, is covered by a large tree. No wonder, I just walked around here and didn't find this room.
After coming out, I walked around the courtyard and came to the door of the apartment building again.
It went smoothly, and after swiping the access card, the door of the apartment building opened.
However, when I went in, I became nervous again.
In this building, there is a black hole, and there is no switch for the electric light.
I had to light another lighter to guide the way, and walked forward step by step.
In the corridor, there was a wind blowing. The light of the lighter, with the wind, swayed, revealing a strange aura.
My mood also became shaky. Although I would soon be able to see Mary, I was still nervous.
Inside the building, it was quiet, dead silent.
It seems like it's been a long time since anyone lived here, right? Why is it so quiet? Could it be that Mary doesn't live here anymore?
Although there are four floors here, there is only one hall on the lowest floor. Obviously, it is impossible for people to live here. So I just have to go up to the three floors above and look for it.
I found the light button, but after pressing it for a long time, the light didn't come on. In this building, it seems that there is a power outage?
So, I had to take a lighter and go up the stairs to the second floor. From the door number on the second floor, it is actually only the first floor of this building.
I went to the first room on the second floor, the house with the house number 101, and knocked on the door.
At this time, it was already late at night, and the knock on the door was particularly alarming in this empty corridor.
I knocked on the door for a long time, but no one opened the door. Perhaps, there are no people living here at all, and perhaps, even if someone lives inside, and the third watch hears a knock on the door outside in the middle of the night, the people inside dare not come out, right?
At this time, the corridor light on the second floor suddenly turned on, but, even so, it was still dim. My shadow, cast on the wall, moved to the ground with it, and looked particularly terrifying.
I stood in front of the door of 101 for a moment, then walked forward again.
When I got to the door of room 102 again, I did the same, but the situation here was still the same as before.
However, in front of the door of the third room, room 103, the situation changed a little.
Because, the door of this house is not locked! The door, which was only concealed, was pushed open with a slight push.
However, standing in front of the open door, I hesitated.
Should I go in? Isn't it rude for me to go in like this? Also, what's the scary stuff in there?
Suddenly, I was scared, I was afraid that in that room, I would see a corpse!
The thought of the bald policeman and the body of the security guard sent a chill down my back. Why can't I see a few living people in this town? Why is it so quiet in such a large apartment building? Where have all the people here? Are they all dead?
"Anyone?" I finally spoke up.
However, no one responded to me, which of course I expected.
"Anyone?" I screamed again, but by this time, my feet had already stepped in uncontrollably.
Please, this time, don't let me see another dead man······
