Chapter 23: Discovering the Truth
"Handsome guy, go out so early?" As soon as the morning dawned, Lu Qing finished washing up and was about to go downstairs to find Li Wenqiao and Chen Shuo, and when he opened the door, he happened to meet Wenwen next door who was about to go out. "Well, I made an appointment with a friend." Lu Qing replied while locking the door.
"I've made a delicious breakfast, would you like to try it?" Wen Wen leaned against the door and beckoned to Lu Qing. "Hehe, I've eaten, so I won't bother you." Lu Qing was afraid that the other party would enthusiastically "entangle" him, so he locked the door and ran downstairs. "Hee-hee, that's cute." Wenwen covered his mouth and snickered, closed the door and looked at the breakfast on the table after returning to the house, a little confused: "What was I going to do just now......
"Xiao Chen, it's time to change shifts. I'll go back to sleep first. Wang Sheng, who had been on the night shift, woke up Chen Shuo, and then left the apartment by himself. Chen Shuo didn't actually sleep much, but in order not to arouse Wang Sheng's suspicion, he pretended to be sleepy-eyed and responded: "Okay, Brother Sheng, go back first." ”
Not long after Wang Sheng left, around seven o'clock, a seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl entered the apartment. "Who are you looking for? Come and check in. "In Chen Shuo's memory, there is no such resident in the building." Hello brother, I'm here to visit my grandparents. The girl wore a ponytail, a loose T-shirt and jeans, and carried a basket of fruit and some pastries. She put down what she was holding and wrote her name "Xue Yanni" on the 604 column.
Living in 604 was an elderly couple, and Chen Shuo saw that the information was correct, so he directly let her into the apartment. Seeing that the time was not early, and the others should have already gotten up, Chen Shuo locked the security room and left here.
After Xue Yanni came to the sixth floor, she directly opened the door with the key. "Grandpa, grandma, I'm here!" When she entered the house, she found that the curtains were still tightly covered, and the room was dark. The girl felt a little strange, her grandparents always got up very early, and they had said hello to them before that they were going to visit today, why was there no movement in the house until now?
She placed the gift in her hand at the door, then opened the curtains. At this time, a melodious opera music came from the bedroom. She knew that this was her grandfather's habit, and every morning she would turn on the radio and listen to the drama for a while.
"Grandpa, are you there?" Xue Yanni found that the bedroom door was not locked, so she walked in directly. A strong smell of blood instantly hit the door, and she saw the old-fashioned radio on the floor of the bedroom at her feet. And the radio was splattered with blood, and I looked forward along the trail of blood...... The bedroom is full of old man's severed limbs! She took two steps back in horror and accidentally bumped into the cabinet by the door. With a bang, a round orb fell from the cabinet and rolled to her feet. "Ah!!h It was nothing else that fell, it was Xue Fu's head.
On the other side, there was a sound of water in the bathroom, and Xue Yanni turned her head to see that her grandmother was half-kneeling on the ground, her head sticking into the sink of the sink, and the faucet was constantly flowing water. "Grandma!" Xue Yanni rushed forward, trying to rescue the old man from the edge of the pool. But she was horrified to find that no matter how hard she tried, her grandmother's body felt as if it had been welded to death and could not be pulled. She screwed on the faucet and tried to scoop the water out of the pool.
At this time, a pair of skinny ghost hands covered with green tendons suddenly stretched out of the pool water and grabbed Xue Yanni's hair. Before the poor girl could scream, she was dragged straight into the water and disappeared. Tick, tick...... Deathly silence returned to 604's room. At the same time, on the roster in the security room, the names of Xue Yanni and others also disappeared in an instant and became "empty".
"Three more families died today." Li Wenqiao closed the phone and sighed. So far, 503, 604 and 704 residents have been murdered. "Well, do you see something?" Luo Yike said to Lu Qing a little anxiously: "Isn't your mind quite good, now that so many people have died, have you deduced the law of ghost killing?" ”
"I'm sorry, I don't have a clue yet." Lu Qing looked at the information on the paper and said, "It seems that there is no time limit for ghosts to kill people, it can do it day and night." The victims' room numbers are also very random and irregular. ”
"Why don't we forcibly smash the door of 201 open, didn't you say it, that old man named Tian Jiawei knows the clue." Qian Jie's spirit was about to collapse, the bloody handprints in the house last night deeply stimulated her, and three more families died during the day, she even had a premonition that the ghost would soon attack her!
"Don't worry, let Brother Qing finish his words." Li Wenqiao comforted her a few words.
"What happened to you last night gave me a reminder, and I already have a rough guess about the second floor." Lu Qing walked in front of everyone: "Actually, the murderous mansion is not 203 that has been empty, but 201!" ”
"So you mean, it's a ghost who lives next door to us?" Qian Jie's face instantly turned like ashes. "What? Let's get out of here...... You can go to the third floor. Royco was also frightened. If what Lu Qing said was right, then the people who communicated with them before had always been ghosts!
"Don't worry, listen to me. The one who lives next door is supposed to be human. Lu Qing hurriedly explained: "If I guess correctly, he should be the relative of the victim of the murder thirty years ago!" ”
"It was the mother and daughter who died at the time, and the report did not mention that they were single-parent families. Therefore, the one named Tian Jiawei should be the father of the murdered sister. Lu Qing pointed to the wall of the living room: "The female ghost I summoned yesterday has been staring there, it should have sensed the existence of the ghost." The driver who chatted with Brother Tang before also mentioned that Lijingyuan is a place of gathering yin, and the souls of unjust souls do not disperse after they die, and they have not left for a long time, and many people have witnessed them. ”
"I see, you mean, that man heard this rumor after losing his wife and daughter, and because he missed his relatives, he knew it was haunted, and he deliberately moved back to live." Chen Shuo suddenly realized.
"Not only that, I think these unjust souls should have no malicious intent, so so many people have seen supernatural phenomena, but there have been no cases of death, and Tian Jiawei next door has also lived until now. So although there are many ghosts in this building, there should be only one that is really aggressive: that is Uncle Gen who brought us in on the first day! Lu Qing's words were so loud that everyone couldn't close their mouths.
"At the moment, my conjectures need to be verified." Lu Qing was very cautious, he found a pen and paper, and wrote down all the inferences just now. The crowd followed him to the next door and shoved the paper into the door. Soon, Tian Jiawei responded: You are right, I just want to accompany my wife and daughter here, so please don't disturb my life.
This terrible ghost has slaughtered many of the residents of the building, can you bear to watch other innocent people be murdered like your wife and daughter? Lu Qing continued to write: After the murderer died, he turned into a ghost and returned to the building, and he is still continuing the sins of his life! ”
After a long time, a note came out from behind the door: I can't tell you its identity, if you want to live, watch the time.
