When the muzzle of the gun was still aimed at the center of the eyebrows, the water ghost's mentality collapsed.

"Please spare me, I don't want to die yet-"

"You're dead." Lu Li replied.

"But I'm alive......" the water ghost whispered in defense. I've been dead for years, and no one dares to hurt me! ”

Lu Li didn't come to overtake it, at least not now, which is why he didn't shoot immediately.

"I have a few questions that I hope you can answer." The muzzle of the gun did not leave the water ghost, and Lu Li asked, "How many years have you been dead." ”

"Five years...... Ah no six years! The water ghost replied hurriedly.

"Cause of death."

"When I was cleaning up the garbage in the river, my feet slipped, and I ...... It's a long story...... "The water ghost was about to start a tirade when he was interrupted by Lu Li.

"You know that a woman disappeared here in the summer of five years ago."

"I don't know......" The water ghost shook his head blankly, and suddenly thought of something: "But I know someone knows!" ”

"Who?"

"He lives in 302, Building 3, Ziyueyuan Community, and is a Taoist priest!"

"Daoist?"

"Hmm. He has a lot of ghosts under him...... I wasn't taken by him because I was too weak, so someone so powerful must know something! ”

Noting down the information revealed in the water ghost story, Lu Li lifted his alert and fell into the muzzle.

The water ghost on the opposite side breathed a long sigh of relief, but the raised hand did not dare to fall.

In fact, Lu Li's failure to overdo it has nothing to do with compassion, but simply to leave a back hand.

If you don't get the information from the Taoist priest later, and you want to come back and ask again, only to find out that the water ghost was killed by yourself, it will be embarrassing at that time.

And the neighborhood is all residential, and when the gunshots go out, trouble will follow.

Lu Li put away his pistol and was about to leave, but the water ghost suddenly stopped him, and stopped talking: "My body is still in the river, you wait to come back...... Can you help me get the body out? ”

It raised its arm and pointed to the river beside it.

"Yes."

Lu Li walked not far from the stairs. This is a lot of work for him, and he can also physically surpass this ghost by the way.

"Thank you."

The water ghost thanked Lu Li's back softly, and stared at Lu Li until he disappeared from view. In the moonlight, the figure of the water ghost gradually faded.

Grim and resentful laughter echoed.

"Hehe......"

……

Ziyueyuan Community is located in the downtown area, only separated from Guluo Street by a river. It is the same as the family building of the detective agency, and it belongs to the old community built at the end of the last century.

This kind of place is not at all like a place where people in the Dao Gate stay, but considering that the ghosts Lu Li has encountered so far are completely different from the rumors, then the Taoist profession should also be able to substitute for it.

The street lamps in the community are dim and bright, and mosquitoes are flickering under the lights. At midnight, most of the residents in the community turned off their lights and went to sleep.

Find Building C, and Lu Li climbs along the fire escape to the 3rd floor.

Crunch –

Pushing open the floor door, he frowned suddenly.

A vague smell of burnt burnt melted into my nose.

The burnt smell is not pungent, it is like an ember-like smell.

Turning into the corridor on the left, the sensor lights overhead seem to be broken, and the corridors that stretch to either side are lit on one side and dark on the other.

Lu Li looked at the door number, unfortunately, his destination was on the dark side.

Or is it as expected?

Turn on the lighting of the mobile phone, the moment the white light lights up, the boundless darkness turns into a pitch-black withered claw, invading!

Lu Li's pupils contracted for a moment, and then returned to their original state. He silently raised his head and looked at the wall in the light.

The charred burn marks extended from the door at the end of the hallway, leaving licking marks on the hallway walls. It looked abruptly like a twisted claw sticking out of the door.

Lu Li was standing in front of the strange claw.

Step into the palm of the claw, and walk to the door at the end of the passage.

The number plate on the door was blackened, and the words could not be seen clearly, Lu Li raised his hand to wipe it, and the ashes were swept away, revealing a line of numbers.

302

Squeak –

The half-covered door suddenly opened a gap, and Lu Li's hand froze in mid-air, unexpectedly.

A burnt smell that was stronger than in the hallway seeped out from behind the gaps.

Oozing out together, there is also a hint of shade, this feeling is very familiar to Lu Li recently. If you want to describe it, it can be called yin.

The yin aura that permeated the room was so faint that it was almost imperceptible, only slightly stronger than the water ghosts by the river.

It was not clear if there was a clue here, but he knew that there was a ghost here.

The palm of his hand subconsciously pressed the pistol on his waist, hesitated and did not take it out, but just unfastened the insurance.

The palm pressed against the door used a little force, and the rough grinding sound echoed in the empty hallway.

Residents in the neighborhood should have moved out.

Lu Xuan thought clearly behind the door by the light of his mobile phone.

The fire in the room was very large, as evidenced by the blackening that spread into the hallway. In the living room behind the door, most of the living rooms are unrecognizable, except for highly recognizable objects such as tables, chairs, furniture, etc.

Click-

Lu Li, who entered sideways, stepped on the charcoal, with a crisp sound, and when he lifted his foot, it had already broken into countless pieces.

Behind the door was strangely scattered a piece of charcoal.

Lu Li subconsciously imagined a scene: the fire spread, ruthlessly devouring everything around him, a figure stood behind the door in despair, unable to shake the locked anti-theft door with all his strength, the tongue of fire was wrapped in a heat wave from behind him, the hair was the first to wither and curl, the clothes were burning, the most heat-resistant eyes burst, and the figure turned into a ball of black charcoal in the miserable howl.

"......" Lu Li stopped to scare his imagination.

After observing the living room, Lu Li stepped on the charred floor and burrowed into the bedroom on the right.

The window frames stood alone, the breeze pouring into the room, and the dim moonlight slanted in.

Lu Li looked around and made sure that no clues had been missed.

Now the results are clear. There are no Taoist priests here, and there are no people with the word Taoist priest in their names. The water ghost remembered mis- or the water ghost lied to him.

Lu Li believes that it is the latter.

So the question is, the water ghost would rather take the risk than weave a lie and trick himself into this burned house, for what?

As soon as his thoughts rose, the sound of footsteps suddenly echoed in his ears.

Lu Li looked up in the direction where the voice came from.

Da-da-da-da-da-

Heavy footsteps echoed and oppressed from the hallway.

The ghost is back.

At this point, there is a good chance that he will collide with that ghost, and he doesn't want to shoot here unless he has to.

Lu Li's gaze quickly swept over the bedroom and paused slightly on the wardrobe.

Grabbing the handle of the wardrobe, and letting go of his hand, Lu Li left a conspicuous mark on the handle.

As the desperate footsteps approached, Lu Li raced against time to come to the window and open the window frame, simply faking the traces of someone climbing over.

But when Lu Li was about to leave footprints on the windowsill, he suddenly held his breath and looked back.

The footsteps were gone.

The location of the last ringing seems to be at the door.

Lu Li remembered that when he came in...... It doesn't seem to be closing.
