Chapter Forty-Eight: The Strange Neighbor

My name is Luo Changtian, the intern editor of Haicheng Magazine, my job is very simple, is to help my boss do a good job in the miscellaneous talk section. [No pop-ups. 】

Since I came back from Bangkok, I've been working hard, and it's a job that kills people, and it's a pain to be idle.

I wanted to numb myself with my work so that I could forget about Tia, but whenever I walked into the bedroom and saw Tia's urn, I couldn't help but think of her.

Zhang Ye has been very quiet recently, neither live broadcast nor come to disturb me, even his master Dongfang Ming has not come, as if everyone has said yes.

I met Bai Kexin once on the road, I originally thought she would comfort me a few words, but who knew that she just said hello to me and left in a hurry.

Again, it's my own business, and I count on others to comfort me.

At about 19:10 in the evening, Zhou Xueqin actually called me.

"Luo Changtian, it's not empty now, come with me for an interview, there is new material."

Well, it's good to have a job.

I cheered up again and said goodbye to Tia, then I pushed open the door of Zhang Ye's bedroom and said, "Brother Huohua, have you rested enough, do you want to go with me to the field for an interview." ”

Zhang Ye had a happy expression on his face, picked up his mobile phone and said, "Changtian, I'm just waiting for your words, let's go, the popularity of my brother's live broadcast room has run a lot, what is the topic of the live broadcast tonight." ”

I don't know what the interview is, I only know that Zhou Xueqin said that this matter is quite weird, let me go to the Nanyuan community to meet her.

Zhang Ye and I rode a battery car and soon came to the South Park Community, which is a relatively dilapidated community, but the surrounding area is relatively prosperous, with all kinds of stalls and shops, and life is more convenient.

Zhou Xueqin had been waiting early, and when she saw me coming, she hurriedly shouted, "Changtian, why did you bring him over." ”

Brother Huohua was thick-skinned, and he directly held his mobile phone and said: "Fans, this big beauty is the editor-in-chief of our Haicheng who talks about strange things, if you have anything you want to say, I can help you convey it, come, the gift will go a wave." ”

Zhou Xueqin's eyes immediately rose, and she walked directly to me and said, "Changtian, what's the matter with you." ”

I smiled and said, "Sister Xue, it's all about begging for a living, and it's not easy for Brother Huohua, why don't you arrange a job for him to earn money in the magazine?" ”

Zhou Xueqin glanced at me and said, "Okay, how can I have this ability, let's go upstairs, it's the clue provided by Aunt Xu in Room 403, she said that the young man on the other side of the door has been a little weird in recent days." ”

There is a hotline in our miscellaneous talk section, and anyone who provides supernatural and weird clues can get a reward of 500 yuan, so people often call.

Most of the phone calls Zhou Xueqin just smiled after hearing it, but today she actually went out in person, which shows that this clue is still quite powerful, at least she has the willingness to interview.

Knocking on the door of room 403, Aunt Xu hurriedly invited us in, and said, "Editor Zhou, if the clues I provided are adopted, there will be a reward of 500 yuan." ”

I nodded and said, "Aunt Xu, as long as the one you provide is really valuable, the reward will not be less, what the hell is going on." ”

Aunt Xu's logic is not very clear, anyway, it took her a long time before I figured out what was going on.

According to Aunt Xu, she lived opposite the door of a young man named Xu Jinbo, 25 years old this year, not long after joining the work, and had been renting 404 opposite for more than half a year.

Originally, Xu Jinbo was a very amiable person and was very enthusiastic when he met people, but a week ago, everything changed.

Xu Jinbo came back sneakily that night, carrying a black plastic bag in his hand, and didn't say hello when he saw Aunt Xu, as if he was a thief.

Aunt Xu felt a little strange at the time, so she didn't take it to heart, but the next night, Xu Jinbo went back with a black plastic, and this time Aunt Xu saw it clearly, and it seemed that there was something in it that would move.

Aunt Xu paid attention and wanted to hear what was going on in Xu Jinbo's house, but she heard the miserable sound of a cat's meow.

When Zhang Ye heard this, he interrupted: "Aunt Xu, what's so weird about this, it's nothing more than Xu Jinbo abusing cats, and you are embarrassed to call the hotline for this kind of thing." ”

Aunt Xu said anxiously: "Young man, don't worry, if it's as simple as abusing cats, I won't call you." ”

In fact, I also think that Aunt Xu is making a fuss, and in order to cheat the reward of 500, she deliberately said things mysteriously.

Aunt Xu went on to say that since that day, Xu Jinbo would come back with a plastic bag every day, and his whole body became more and more haggard, and he basically didn't communicate with anyone.

"Let me tell you, Xiao Xu hasn't been out for two days, and I haven't seen anyone come to deliver takeaways, I'm really afraid that he will starve to death inside, do you want to go in and have a look."

I prefer that this is an aunt's gossip heart, in fact, it is not as complicated as she thought, but Zhou Xueqin didn't see it that way, she decided to knock on the opposite door to see what was going on.

Knock, knock, knock.

However, no matter how much I knocked on the door, Xu Jinbo would not open it, and I even doubted that he was not at home.

Aunt Xu stood at the door and nodded vigorously: "He must be at home, I haven't seen him go out in the past two days." ”

At this moment, Zhang Ye pushed me away, kicked the door with his foot, and shouted, "Open the door, open the door quickly, check the water meter." ”

Zhang Ye's voice was very loud, and he was afraid that he could hear it in the entire floor.

Soon I heard the sound of the door lock turning, and then a man with a haggard face appeared in front of us.

There was no light in the room, it was very dim, although I couldn't see it clearly, but I could smell a smell of blood, if Aunt Xu heard correctly, then these bloody smells should be cat blood.

My scalp was a little numb in an instant, what the hell was Xu Jinbo doing at home, he actually killed so many cats.

"You, you, have, what, what, what."

Xu Jinbo's voice was very cold, and the speed of his speech was very slow, and those who listened to it shuddered, as if they were from the depths of hell.

Zhou Xueqin's reaction was still very fast, she pointed at Aunt Xu and said: "We are from the neighborhood committee, and your neighbors complain that there are often strange noises coming out of your house, which seriously affects her rest, can we go in and take a look." ”

The corners of Xu Jinbo's mouth suddenly showed a weird smile, he first glanced at Aunt Xu, and then replied coldly: "No, okay." Then he quickly closed the door.

After eating a closed-door soup, Zhou Xueqin and I looked at each other, but Aunt Xu said with some complaints: "Editor Zhou, why did you tell me, what if he made trouble for me, you also saw it just now, his expression is so scary." ”

Seriously, Xu Jinbo's expression just now was indeed a little scary, I don't feel like he was pretending, there is a problem, he seems to really have a problem, how can a good person suddenly become like this within a week.

Zhou Xueqin happily took out 500 yuan and handed it to Aunt Xu and said, "Aunt Xu, this money is a reward for you, if you find anything else, call us as soon as possible." ”

Aunt Xu smiled, stuffed the money into her pocket and said, "No problem, if there is any new discovery, I will definitely inform you as soon as possible, if there are any more exciting clues, is there a reward." ”

Man is really a very greedy animal, and Aunt Xu is a model of it.

Zhou Xueqin frowned slightly and said, "Then it depends on whether the information you provide is valuable or not." ”

The three of us left the Nanyuan community together, Zhou Xueqin drove back alone, Brother Huohua said that the popularity of the live broadcast room today was not very strong, and he pulled me to eat barbecue on the side of the road.

Anyway, I haven't eaten with Brother Huohua for a long time, so the two of us simply went to the last house and ordered some meat skewers and beer.

Zhang Ye drank while looking at his phone and said, "Changtian, you should be fine, Tiya's matter, I'm really sorry, if it weren't for my bad idea,"

I had a drink with Brother Huohua and said, "Although Tiya is dead, she will always live in my heart, don't mention this matter, how many fans are left in your live broadcast room." ”

At this moment, Zhang Ye's face suddenly changed, and he handed over his mobile phone and said, "Changtian, look at this photo, this is the picture taken by fans during my live broadcast just now." ”
