Chapter 103: The Smell of Rental Houses

Xiao Ming?

He should be able to open the door for me, though.

Mei Jun's shameless face raised slightly, and he said secretly in his heart.

Immediately, he turned around abruptly and asked pretending to be surprised, "Are you Xiao Ming?"

"Uncle, are you?" Wang Ming looked at Mei Jun suspiciously, but stopped and was separated from Mei Jun for a short distance.

"Uh... I'm a friend of Mei Jun, and he told me about you. Mei Jun's eyes rolled, deliberately scaring him.

"Mei... Uncle's friend. Sure enough, as soon as Wang Ming heard Mei Jun's name, his face turned pale, and he was miserable.

You must know that as early as ten days ago, he learned of Mei Jun's death from his mother's mouth, and he was still sad for a while at that time, and the person in front of him came to find Mei Jun......

"You... What are you looking for Uncle May to do... What are you doing?" Li Ziming suddenly stood on end, and inexplicable cold sweat oozed from the corners of his forehead, but as the class leader, he was still a little timid, so he endured fear and asked.

This kid won't be scared of me, will he?

When Mei Jun saw Li Ziming like this, she didn't know that he was afraid.

Therefore, he controlled his facial movements, showed a sad face, and sighed: "Alas, what a jealous talent! I didn't expect Mei Jun to have this kind of thing at the time, originally..."

Suddenly, a gloomy wind blew.

But before Mei Jun finished speaking, Li Ziming, this kid, had already pulled his trembling legs and ran away.

"Hey... Don't run. ”

But Mei Jun ran more and more as she screamed.

Helpless, he had no choice but to stand in place, looking up and down at this old-style old building left over from the last century.

Decades of wind and rain have turned into a little black mildew on the surface of the building, some of the wall skin has fallen off, and there are traces of time hidden in the cracks, and green moss grows inside.

When he came here in 09, he also received a lot of care from the landlord here, and found a place for himself in this big city when he was the saddest time in his life.

It was an old-fashioned three-story building with only four rooms on the first floor, and he lived in a single room facing north, No. 301.

And just when Mei Jun was thinking about it, a hurried sound of metal touching came from the right side, it was a large set of keys, and there was a slight footstep in it.

A woman in her thirties with a plain posture was rushing over from the opposite side of the first floor, looking nervous.

She was dressed very ordinarily, just like an ordinary housewife.

Her name is Zhai Qingping, the owner of this house, and Li Ziming's mother.

The house is her husband's inheritance.

Because the room is vacant, they live on these rents, and in order to save money, they also live in this building with tenants, and it is also convenient to manage here.

She ran to Mei Jun, still carrying a bunch of keys in her hand, but she was still some distance away from him.

"Listen to Xiao Ming, you are also Mei Jun's friend?" Li Qingping asked with some vigilance.

Also?

Mei Jun is a soul with four times the strength of ordinary people, and she heard the word "also" from her words for the first time.

"Could it be that someone has also come to look for him?" Mei Jun hurriedly asked.

He frowned, and then asked, "Is it a woman?"

"Female... Zhai Qingping was asked like this, she held her head slightly with one hand, and suddenly felt that the nerves in her brain trembled a little, and her mind was at a loss, as if she couldn't remember some memories.

She let go of her hand and said in a deep voice, "I seem to have forgotten too." ”

Damn, is it really someone who is messing with me? But I've been in peace for the past 30 years, and I haven't caused any enemies?

But Mei Jun was in his heart, but he vaguely felt that this matter was related to the cause of his death.

Then, he asked sincerely, "Landlord, can I go into Mei Jun's room and have a look?"

"No!" Zhai Qingping refused, and her attitude was very resolute.

"Actually, I didn't expect Mei Jun to have such an incident, but..."Mei Jun pretended to take out a piece of paper from his pocket, handed it to Zhai Qingping, and said sadly, "Actually, you also know that Mei Jun will never owe money and not pay it back." ”

Zhai Qingping hesitated a little to take the piece of paper covered with scribbled handwriting, this is an IOU, she recognizes these handwriting, because in the past, Mei Jun would tutor Wang Ming when he was free, and he was a good person.

"Alas, since you are Mei Jun's friend, it is not impossible to open the door for you. Zhai Qingping read this IOU written by Mei Jun herself several times, and handed it back to him after reading it.

Although Mei Jun has lived with her for almost ten years, it is very unfortunate for a dead man's thing to stay here, and it will affect business.

So Zhai Qingping still chose to open the door.

Mei Jun held on to the mottled rusty handrails and followed Zhai Qingping up.

This is still the familiar corridor, although the upper wall skin is old and has fallen a lot, there is no dust in the corridor.

He knew that Zhai Qingping would often clean these places and keep the whole building clean, after all, this was also the main source of livelihood for the two mothers and sons.

If it weren't for her poor husband's legacy, their mother and son would not have lived in this metropolis so easily.

And the people who rent this kind of place with Mei Jun are all to save some money and survive in this city where steel and cement are poured.

The third floor is not high, and it will be there quickly.

The landlord opened the door and turned on the lights, and everything was normal in room 301, there was no mess, and there was no trace of messiness at all.

When Mei Jun saw that the pair of flip-flops hidden in the corner of the shoe rack were still there, he breathed a sigh of relief.

This is the old man's relic, and the only thing he treasures.

Just as Mei Jun leaned down and wanted to pick up the flip-flops.

"Don't move! As long as the tenant's lease date has not yet arrived, I am responsible for keeping it. At this time, Zhai Qingping covered her nose, but reached out to stop him, "After a few months, you can take whatever you want, but not now." ”

The smell here is a little unpleasant.

Mei Jun knew that Zhai Qingping had a very strong sense of responsibility, and there had never been any theft in her building.

Unless he robs it, but he robs a ghost!

It's really to grab your own stuff by yourself.

"Okay!" In desperation, Mei Jun had no choice but to put down the pair of slippers that were regarded as treasures and stood up.

He now regrets paying the extra few months of rent.

He revisited the house.

Having lived there for several years, it was impossible for him not to be familiar with everything in this room.

Although the man did not leave any traces of movement, the smell could not be extinguished.

Therefore, Mei Jun immediately mimicked the olfactory system of a mouse under loose clothes.

He believed that under the sensitive nose of the mouse, the residual odor would appear.

But for a long time, almost all the air in this ten-square-meter single room was filtered by him, but he didn't smell the slightest peculiar smell, which was very strange.

He pondered.

Because I am a big man, in this hot weather, I will sweat more or less.

And he is still a little lazy, he only cleans once every week and half a month, and the fermentation of more than 20 days is even more so.

But what's even more strange is that the smell of this sweat doesn't seem to be as strong as expected.

He glanced around again, for he had a habit of closing doors and windows when he went out.

So the smell of sweat only gets stronger over time.

But now...

The man must have used something to get rid of his traces, but he accidentally eliminated the smell of sweat.

So, Mei Jun turned back to Zhai Qingping and asked, "By the way, landlord, you haven't cleaned here." ”

"We don't touch the tenant's stuff. Zhai Qingping shook her head and said calmly.

Although she has a key to open the door, she must be principled.

The landlord naturally doesn't lie, which shows that there are indeed people here.

Hearing this, Mei Jun speculated in his heart.

Then, he glanced at Zhai Qingping, who was still vigilant, and said secretly: Then now I have to wait for the evening to take a good look again.
