Chapter 24: The Trap
When the four of them stopped the car and rushed to the south camp, it was already five o'clock in the evening.
The ghost never appeared again on the way, and after getting out of the car, after many inquiries, they finally asked Ruan Ling's address before her death.
"When we come to the door later, I'll do what I said before." On the way here, Lu Qing had already coordinated his confession with everyone. As for Yu Xiaobo, Lu Qing asked him to hide his identity for the time being.
"Didn't you want me to apologize and ask for forgiveness?" Yu Xiaobo was a little surprised.
"That's just to scare you. You killed someone's wife, and you showed up so late, do you think people will really forgive you? Chen Xiuqi said: "Besides, even if your husband forgives you, it doesn't mean that Ruan Ling's ghost will spare you." We went to his house to see if we could find any useful clues. ”
Nanyingli is an old community of more than 70 years, and the living environment here is poor, most of them are bungalows, and Ruan Ling's family is also one of them. The alley of the bungalow is narrow and only one person is allowed to pass through. At this time, the sun had already set, and there were no street lights in the alley, so I could barely see the way here by relying on the light from the windows of other people's houses.
Everyone lined up, and Lu Qing was responsible for leading the way. Soon, they found Ruan Ling's home. Looking at the mottled and painted iron door in front of him, Lu Qing raised his hand and knocked on the door without hesitation.
Soon, they heard footsteps in the yard. A young man with a thin face and a stubble on his face opened the door, and this person was Ruan Ling's husband Zhang Jinhui.
After Dao made his intentions clear, the man immediately welcomed several people into the house.
"We were surprised by what happened to Ruan Ling. Thinking of the old feelings of colleagues, our brothers came to the door on behalf of other colleagues to condole, and by the way, there are some thoughts here, which are made up by other colleagues in the company. Lu Qing took out a wad of banknotes from his bag and handed it to Zhang Jinhui.
"This ...... I can't help it......" Zhang Jinhui clutched the corner of his clothes crampedly, not wanting to accept the money.
"Brother Hui, just take it." Chen Xiuqi comforted: "With a little care, we can't do anything else." ”
"Thank you so much." Zhang Jinhui accepted the money with red eyes, and there was crying in his voice: "It's all my fault, I'm so focused on work that I don't have time to accompany her." She was already weak, and she went to the hospital for examination and grocery shopping with a big belly, and refused to take a taxi in order to save some money. If I had been here, she wouldn't have died of hemorrhage from an accidental miscarriage......"
When everyone heard his words, they felt very uncomfortable, and Yu Xiaobo was even more uneasy. However, it can be heard from Zhang Jinhui's words that the other party does not seem to know the real reason for Ruan Ling's death.
At that time, there were no cameras in the vicinity at the time of the incident, and Ruan Ling did not have any external injuries on her body, so everyone regarded her death as an accident.
After Zhang Jinhui accepted the condolence money, he turned around and went to the house to put the money away, and then went into the kitchen to pour a few glasses of water for everyone.
"There's nothing to do at home, and I don't know if there are guests coming today, you drink a few sips of water first, and I'll buy some food for everyone." This simple man put on his coat and insisted on going out to buy something to eat, regardless of the crowd's retention.
"I'm sorry for you." After Lu Qing pretended to shirk it, he still complied with the other party's wishes. After all, he needs to search here, and Zhang Jinhui's departure couldn't be better for them.
Zhang Jinhui's home is not large, except for the living room, kitchen and bathroom, there is only one bedroom. It's just that in order to welcome the arrival of a new life, the couple renovated the original bedroom, and the middle partition was made into two rooms.
After searching the living room and other places without any valid clues, everyone focused their eyes on the closed door of the baby room.
Lu Qing pushed open the door and turned on the light on the wall in the room.
The bedroom is only more than ten square meters, and there is a small baby cot in the middle. Chandelier toys hang from the bed, cartoon stickers on the walls, dolls and children's clothes on the floor show how eager the couple is for the arrival of this new life.
"Hey......" Yu Xiaobo saw such a scene, his nose was sour, and he sighed deeply.
Chen Xiuqi bent down and picked up a doll at his feet. However, on the carpet beneath the doll, he found a dark pool of blood.
"Come and see!" Chen Xiuqi lifted the blanket on the ground, and soon, everyone noticed that many strange red and black symbols appeared under the blanket.
"What kind of pattern does this look like?"
"Lift the carpet." Lu Qing didn't say a word, and immediately cleaned up the ground with Qin Yan. Soon, several people lifted the blankets in the house.
And what was under the blanket was finally revealed to them.
"Is this a spell?!" Although Yu Xiaobo didn't know what these things meant, the floor of the room was littered with ghost drawings written in blood and strange triangular patterns, which were very similar to what he saw on TV.
"It should be a formation." Lu Qing looked at the crib, where the bed was located, which happened to be the center of the formation.
It seems that there should be a big problem with this Zhang Jinhui.
"Go and see the door, did Zhang Jinhui lock the door when he left?!" Qin Yan reacted violently.
About a minute later, Chen Xiuqi turned back: "Yes, the door outside is really locked!" Not only that, but when I opened the curtains, I found that even the windows were equipped with iron bars, and we couldn't get out! ”
Everyone broke out in a cold sweat, but they didn't expect that the other party had already taken precautions.
"Wait, look, there seems to be something on that bed......" Yu Xiaobo was covered in a cold sweat, not knowing if it was the reason for fear, at this moment he felt that his feet were a little unsteady.
Qin Yan slowly approached the crib, his hand resting on the wooden railing, and the "bang" caused the bed to shake, and even the bell hanging on it began to tinkle.
"Are you alright?" Lu Qing stepped forward to help him.
"It's fine. Maybe it's too much consumption today, and some can't do it. Qin Yan felt groggy in his head, and couldn't help pinching his palms hard, trying to cheer up. And Lu Qing on the side saw that the quilt was bulging, so he directly reached out and lifted the bedding.
I saw that under the quilt, there was a pitch-black square wooden box half a meter wide and half a meter long, and on the top of the box, there were strange symbols written in blood.
"It's ...... What ......" Qin Yan asked with difficulty, and for some reason, he felt that he was getting more and more tired.
"This ......" Before Lu Qing could finish his last words, there was a sound of "bang" and "bang" falling to the ground behind him.
Looking at Qin Yan again, he seemed to be a little delirious.
"Yes." Lu Qingmeng realized that something was wrong, it must be the glass of water just now!
Everyone has traveled a long way until now, thirsty and tired, and in an unguarded situation, they have drunk all the water handed by Zhang Jinhui. At present, this room has already shown that Zhang Jinhui himself has a big problem, and he never expected that he would also fall into the trap set by the other party.
Qin Yan couldn't support it and fell directly to the ground, and before Lu Qing could open the box, he also fell to the ground with black eyes.
Before he lost consciousness completely, he was dazed and saw three figures appear in the doorway.
