Chapter 893: The Mysterious Mirror Villa and the Faceling, Act 10
At this moment, the woman who was originally with him was sitting in the administrator's room, chatting with the middle-aged greasy uncle, who was very talkative, and seemed to have endless words, and the woman could only respond while looking forward to the man's return soon.
She didn't want to leave at this time, because she didn't say what she had to do. Second, what this man does is closely related to her.
"Uncle, how many people live upstairs?" The woman asked.
"To be honest, I don't know, some of the residents upstairs don't come back day and night, it's an empty rented room, and I'm the caretaker who only came last year, and some of the residents have been living there for 5 or 6 years, so I don't know at all."
"Then how do you register for the fee?"
"Of course, the residents have to take the initiative to come to us, otherwise what else? They always have to check out if they want to leave, and the fee is usually paid once a year, so it doesn't have to take much effort. Uncle Administrator said lightly.
The woman felt that there must be a lot of bad debts in this apartment, but she didn't say anything, and looked upstairs again.
The caretaker said, "Are you sure the person you're looking for is upstairs?" Will you go out? ”
"It should be sure." The woman's words were a bit ambiguous, so the caretaker followed her line of sight and looked upstairs.
His gaze returned to the man who was going upstairs, knocking on a door, and this door was the room where Wang Lili lived. Here I need to briefly describe the environment above the floor:
This is the fifth floor, which is the top floor of the apartment building, and after the stairs come up, there is no landing when you go up half a floor. Entering the fifth floor, there is a white wall in front, and there is an iron clamshell on the white wall, which is very large, and when you open it, you can see that it is a garbage can.
This is an old style of garbage can, very common in the eighties and nineties, almost every building has one, from the top floor to the ground floor, the residents of the upper floors every day put their garbage into the iron clamshell on the wall, the garbage has been dropped into the garbage bin on the first floor, there will be sanitation workers to clean up.
Walking along the white wall, there is the apartment corridor, and on the right hand side of the corridor is the first door, there is no one, and the second door is also on the right hand side, which is actually the room where the facelings live, but the man ignores it.
Because the door was blocked by the wall, it shrank to the side, a place that resembled an elevator space, and it was difficult for anyone walking through the hallway to notice, and the man's attention was drawn to the second door on the left, and he heard footsteps coming from inside.
It was Wang Lili's voice, the Faceling arranged himself in a hidden place, just for fear that someone would follow him, and his room could also see the front of the community, killing two birds with one stone, and now, the Faceling suddenly heard a knock on the door outside, and immediately became alert.
knocked on the door with a strong force, and Wang Lili didn't dare to answer at all, so he shouted: "Is there anyone inside?" I'm a new admin and I'm here to find out. ”
"No need to knock, the girl here doesn't have good ears, and she may have forgotten to bring hearing aids." A very cute voice came from behind him, and the man couldn't help but look back.
It was a girl, about fourteen or fifteen years old, with short ear-length hair, a lovely look, small and delicate facial features, very white skin, and a printed long-sleeved dress.
"Excuse me, do you know the people who live here?" The man was polite and leaned down to ask the girl.
"I don't know, I heard this from my uncle on the other side."
The girl held out her hand and pointed to the Faceling's room opposite, and the man looked over with confusion in his eyes.
He asked, "Is the uncle on the other side in the room?" ”
"He had just left, and just as you were knocking on the door, we met at the top of the stairs, and he asked me to tell you about the condition of my aunt in the room."
"And what floor do you live on?"
"Me?" The girl paused and said, "I'm the niece of the apartment administrator, and I'm here to play today." ”
The man didn't believe her words very much, because when he came in just now, he didn't see anyone else in the administrator's room, and when he went upstairs, he didn't even see a figure, so why did a little girl suddenly appear now? Men don't believe in such a coincidence.
"Little sister, where did you play just now?" The man asked.
The girl seemed unwilling to answer the question, smiled sweetly at the man, and then turned to leave, and as soon as she took a step, her little hand was grasped by the man.
"Why don't I send you downstairs, it's dangerous to be alone in the middle of the night, and I think your uncle must be looking for you."
"No need, I'll go downstairs myself, aren't you looking for the aunt in the room? Do you want to stop knocking? Maybe while we were talking, my aunt was already wearing hearing aids? ”
The girl looked innocent and cute, and did not show panic, her little hands were warm, pinched in the man's cold palms, and she did not break free.
The man glanced at the door of Wang Lili's room, sighed and said, forget it, I'll go downstairs with you, and call her later.
After saying that, he went down the stairs, and the girl could only follow him, muttering all the way and talking non-stop, and the man listened patiently.
After the footsteps of the two people disappeared into the corridor, Wang Lili quickly opened the door and looked out of the door, her face was already covered with cold sweat, her breathing became short, and she put one hand on her heart, and she could feel the fast rhythm beating inside.
'Who the hell is it?' Could it be the police? Where did the Facelings go? ’
At this time, the mobile phone she put on the coffee table suddenly rang, Wang Lili was so frightened that she hurriedly rushed to the coffee table, just now she didn't think about turning off the music key of the mobile phone at all, and now she regrets it very much, what if it is heard by the person who goes down, what if she comes back?
With trembling fingers, she hurriedly turned off the volume of her mobile phone, and then picked up the phone, Wang Lili didn't dare to speak, waiting for the other party to speak first.
"Wang Lili, it's me." The hoarse voice made her relax instantly, it was the voice of the Faceling.
Wang Lili went back and closed the door, sat on the edge of the bed and said, "Someone knocked on my door just now, did you see who it was?" ”
"I didn't see it, I'm in the room too, but now you don't have to worry about anything, that person has been taken downstairs by the administrator's niece."
"The Administrator's niece?" Wang Lili felt inexplicable.
"You don't have to worry about this, if someone comes to you again, you will say that your hearing is not good, and you lost your hearing aids, so you didn't answer the door just now, and I have paid the rent for a year, so you don't have to worry about the administrator coming to collect the house."
"Then we won't go back to the villa today?"
"Don't go back, in a few days, the wind is too tight now, maybe we have been targeted."
"Who?"
"I don't know! You just listen to my command, and I'll text you when it's time to go. ”
"And what if you leave all of a sudden and I can't find your people?" Wang Lili was obviously impatient, if the Faceling didn't keep her word, ran away alone, and left her here as bait, then she would have lost all her efforts.
The Faceling said, "Don't worry, I'll come over every day to bring you food, and if I don't show up, you know the location of the villa yourself, don't you?" How could I possibly run away for someone who knew where my lair was? ”
"That being said, but you'd better keep your word, or I'll take the police to your lair."
"OK, no problem, we're grasshoppers on a rope, I'm not going to throw yours." With that, the Faceling hung up.
