Section 31: Investigation

The three reached a consensus, and Zhang Peng went home and brought the toolbox and fiddled with it at the door of 201. The door lock is the kind of inline, copper core, which has been oxidized to black due to age.

There are roughly two kinds of pry doors, one is to damage the door, and the other is not to damage the door. Zhang Peng wanted to fight for the second type, but he fiddled with Lao Huangpi for a long time, and the door lock did not move at all, and finally Li Chunsheng came out. I saw him take a few steps back, then rushed forward, and kicked the door open with a "bang".

After a puff of smoke, you will see an empty kitchen. The tiles on the walls were a little yellow, and when you looked down, there was rust on the faucets and pipes, and rust was falling everywhere. The dust on the ground was thick and obscured its original color.

The house type of 201 is the same as Zhang Peng's house, two bedrooms and one living room, the door is directly facing the kitchen, the door turns right is the living room, the middle of the living room is the aisle, the left side of the aisle is connected to the bathroom, the right side is connected to the large room, and the innermost is the small room.

All three stood in the doorway, and none of them went in.

"Pang Tong, it's time to see how you perform." Zhang Peng said.

"Me?" Old Yellow Peel pointed at himself.

"Of course it's you, and who else." Li Chunsheng echoed.

Lao Huangpi didn't continue to shirk, and immediately took out a few magic weapons from the cloth satchel on his body, a copper bell in one hand, a copper coin sword in the other, and a few runes on his body, and walked towards the room. This kind of place, no one has been to it for more than ten years, maybe there is something dirty, and you must be prepared.

"Jingle bell...... Jingle Bell ...... Jingle bell ......"

"Taishang Laojun, anxious as an amnesty, gods and demons, all avoid ......"

Zhang Peng and Li Chunsheng looked in from the door, Lao Huangpi shook the bell, gestured with the copper coin sword, and walked into the living room. At first glance, the dust on the floor was thick, and there was no furniture in the hall, just an old chest of drawers, a few wooden sofas and a coffee table piled up in the corner.

The iron door to the balcony was closed, the patent leather was blistered, and a lot of rust fell on the floor.

It doesn't look unusual, but no one has been here for years. Old Huangpi walked around the hall and beckoned Zhang Peng and Li Chunsheng to let them in.

"Cabinet, open it and take a look." Zhang Peng pointed to the chest of drawers and said.

Old Huangpi came to the cabinet, shook the bell left and right, and muttered, "Heavenly spirits, earth spirits, demons and monsters, snakes, insects, rats and ants, all disperse." ”

"Hurry up." Zhang Peng urged, the old yellow skin rattle bell is just to strengthen his own courage, and it has nothing to do with Taoism.

The old yellow skin pointed two fingers at the center of his eyebrows, and shouted, "Urgent as an amnesty, open!" ”

Then put down the bell, slowly grasp the handle of the drawer, and pull it violently. I only heard a "cluck" sound, and the old yellow skin fell backwards, holding half of the drawer handle in his hand, and the room was full of dust.

"Ouch, my waist ......" the old yellow skin looked pained, and it took a while to get up. The dark yellow robes were already dirty, but now they are even more gray.

"It's okay." Zhang Peng asked, not daring to go in.

"No ......" Old Huangpi waved his hand, returned to the chest of drawers, fumbled for a while, grabbed the edge of the drawer, and pulled it open.

"Whoa!"

There was a small collision sound in the cabinet, and Zhang Peng shrank back for no reason. Soon the voice of the old yellow skin came from inside.

"It's all porcelain bowls, porcelain plates, and teacups and teapots."

Zhang Peng looked in again, and the old yellow skin closed the first drawer and went to open the second layer.

The "Ka Ka ......" drawer seems to be stuck by something, and the old yellow skin can't be opened.

Li Chunsheng went over to help, and the two worked together, and with a "creak", the drawer opened, and a large cloud of dust came out.

Old Huangpi leaned up to look at it and said, "It's pots and pans, many of them are rusty." ”

Then I opened the third drawer, and the cotton wool was flying, and it was some old clothes. Further up, there is a pile of yellowed books. Lao Huangpi flipped through it, and took out a copy of Gu Long's "Xiao Shisanlang", as well as several world famous books, including "Red and Black", "Three Musketeers", "Anna Karenina" and so on.

The top drawer opens as soon as you pull it open. Inside are some medical records, thick piles.

Zhang Peng walked in and took out a few medical records to see, all of them were from a nearby hospital, and they were the same person, which read: Zheng Kai, male, 31 years old, an employee of the first plant of the Red Star Thermal Power Plant.

When I opened the medical records, the doctor's pen was very sloppy, but I could see a few of them: progressive dementia, accompanied by mild schizophrenia, cognitive impairment, and affective disorders. It seems that the male owner of this family is not lightly ill.

"Look inside." Zhang Peng pointed to the aisle.

"Huh." Old Yellow Skin nodded, shook the bell, and pushed open the bathroom door.

"Squeak!" The moment the door opened, a black shadow burst out. The old yellow skin kicked over quickly, and with a "poof", the black shadow hit the corner of the wall, squirting out some red liquid.

When I looked at it, it turned out to be a black mouse.

"It turned out to be hiding here." Zhang Peng said. I saw it in the corridor a few days ago, and it disappeared as soon as the smoke slipped.

Looking into the bathroom, it was full of glass and plastic shards, and combined with the rusty and blackened nails on the wall, it could be judged that the broken ones were ordinary people's vanity mirrors, the kind with plastic shells. It is estimated that the time is too long, the plastic is brittle, it can't hang the nails, and it shatters on the ground.

After looking at the bathroom, Lao Huangpi pushed open the door of the big room opposite.

The furnishings inside are simple, a large bed, a wardrobe, a bookcase, a sewing machine. The large bed is just plain, the bottom is empty, and the bed board is covered with dust. The bookcase was empty, and there was nothing in it. The sewing machine was covered with a cloth, but the cloth had rotted and cracked in many places, revealing the black parts inside. The wardrobe is large, the kind with three doors, with a wardrobe mirror. The mercury coating inside the mirror may have been corrupted, as if sewage was flowing from top to bottom, and only a human figure could barely be seen.

When Zhang Peng looked in the mirror, he got goosebumps. Because in the mirror, he had a strange expression, as if he had seen something, mixed with excitement and fear. In the blink of an eye, it was back to normal.

After a while, the old yellowskin withdrew from the large room and opened the small room at the end of the aisle. It was empty, there was nothing.

"Okay, I've read it all, what's special." Old Huangpi patted the dust on his hands and said.

There was nothing dirty in the house, the three of them were obviously relieved, and when they went out to the living room, Zhang Peng suddenly remembered that the wardrobe had not been checked, so he asked Lao Huangpi to take a look. The old yellow skin didn't say a word and entered the big room.

"It's not bad, the main furniture is there, and there's no mess." Zhang Peng said. When he first opened the door, he was worried that there were too many things inside, or that there were some valuable treasures that would be difficult to deal with. Now it seems that even if the owner comes back, it is not easy to say that he stole something, and it is a big deal to make up for the other party's rent for a few months.

"Yes, I'll do some hygiene later, and I can drink tea and eat melon seeds tonight." Li Chunsheng said.

"Pull a TV antenna tomorrow, and then go to the second-hand market to find an old TV ......"

"Ahh

As the two were talking, the screams of the old yellow skin suddenly came from inside. The voice was like a broken gong striking iron, sharp and loud, and it made people's scalps tingle when they heard it.

Li Chunsheng rushed into the big room quickly, and Zhang Peng followed closely behind. But I saw the old yellow skin lying on his back on the ground, rolling his eyes, with unspeakable horror on his face, and he had fainted.

Looking up, the door of the wardrobe was still closed, but the handle of one of the doors showed its undertone, apparently just scratched by the old yellow skin.

Due to the suddenness of the incident, both of them were a little panicked. Li Chunsheng grabbed Lao Huangpi's shoulders, dragged him out of the room, and then carried him on his back and followed Zhang Peng out of the door.

They ran downstairs in three or two steps, touched the old yellow skin's snort, and breathed.

"Let's go, go to the clinic." Zhang Peng said.

After a while, the two rushed to the clinic in the compound, and the doctor on duty measured Lao Huangpi's blood pressure and heartbeat.

"It should be too emotional, or frightened, causing the brain to congest and faint." Said the doctor on duty.

The two finally breathed a sigh of relief. In the temporary ward, Li Chunsheng covered the old yellow skin with a quilt, and then the two walked outside and communicated in a whisper.

"You say, what did the old yellow skin see, and he was scared like this." Zhang Peng said.

Li Chunsheng shook his head and said, "Last time I went to Huangniu Mountain with him, I was quite bold, at least I wasn't so easy to faint." ”

Speaking of this, both of them felt a chill run down their spines. That time, the mountains were full of graves, and I also encountered a ghost hitting the wall, and I didn't see the old yellow skin fainting in fright. In that closet, what terrible thing could make a middle-aged Taoist priest who claimed to be orthodox in Maoshan fall unconscious after just one glance. Just thinking about it gives people goosebumps.

Next, the two used the elimination method to analyze.

Corpse?

Unlikely, even if there is a decomposing corpse in the closet, it is not necessarily that the old yellow skin will faint. What's more, they didn't smell the stench of corpses.

Evil spirits?

This is possible, last time Su Yiyi's spirit body was scared to the old yellow fart.

But......

I didn't faint either.

Alien?

Seems a bit of.

The two discussed for a long time, but they didn't figure out anything, so they simply didn't want to. Anyway, when the old yellow skin wakes up, it will naturally be clear.

At seven o'clock in the evening, Zhang Peng and Li Chunsheng each finished dinner and returned to the small clinic. Old Huangpi had woken up, been kicked out of the ward, and sat by the flower garden to eat the box. A few days ago, Zhang Peng asked Xiao Qiu to get him a meal card, so that he could eat in the canteen of the compound. The old yellow skin eats with relish, and there is a beer next to him, which is very moisturizing.

"What do you see?" Zhang Peng asked.

"What?" Old Huangpi looked dazed.

"That...... Wardrobe. Zhang Peng reminded.

"Wardrobe ......" Old Huangpi thought for a moment and asked, "What wardrobe?" ”

"You don't remember?" Zhang Peng was surprised and glanced at Li Chunsheng.

"What do you remember?" Old Yellow Peel said strangely. Looking at him, it looks like he has lost his memory.

"How much do you remember about this afternoon?" Li Chunsheng interjected and asked.

"I ......" Lao Huangpi finally sensed the problem, put down the lunch box, frowned, and thought carefully for a while before saying, "I just remember that Brother Peng called me over to ......"

"And then?" Zhang Peng asked.

"Then wake up, and here it is." Old Huangpi said.
