Chapter 10: The Vanishing Corpse

Late at night, although Zhou Peng arranged rooms for everyone, but considering safety issues, everyone tried to sleep together at night, one room for boys and one room for girls. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

"Hey! Sister Qingli, wake up! ā€

At about one o'clock in the middle of the night, in the girl's room, Du Xian gently pushed Luo Qingli, who was asleep next to him.

"What's wrong?"

Luo Qingli rubbed her eyes and sat up from the bed, because during the mission, everyone subconsciously didn't dare to sleep too much, and even the room was still dark after sleeping, so she was easily woken up.

"Sister Qingli, that ......" Looking at Luo Qingli, Du Xian's face turned red, and she said squirmingly: "That, I'm too nervous and scared, so now it's ...... That ......"

"Want to go to the bathroom?"

Luo Qingli asked, as a woman, she could naturally see Du Xian's thoughts at this time.

"Hmm." Du Xian nodded.

"Okay, let's go, I'll go with you!"

"Thank you, Sister Qingli."

After all, it was a companion, and on the premise of not endangering her own life, Luo Qingli didn't mind accompanying her to the toilet.

The two got up and walked out of the room, in the huge villa, there will naturally be maids who prepare pajamas for them before going to bed, and the corridor is also equipped with voice-activated lights, so it is not abrupt to go out directly.

"I remember the toilet was there, over here! Let's go! ā€

The villa has three floors, and they are on the second floor of the villa, and after distinguishing the direction, the two of them walked towards the toilet at the end of the corridor.

"Sister Qingli, the paintings on this wall are so scary!"

Along the way, Du Xian looked at the paintings hanging on the walls on both sides of the corridor, she hugged Luo Qingli's arm, and looked scared.

"Don't be afraid!"

came to the end of the corridor and comforted Du Xian, and Luo Qingli let her go in to solve it by herself.

"Sister, you must wait for me!"

"Good! Go ahead! ā€

"Hmm!"

finally persuaded Du Xian to enter the toilet, and Luo Qingli was the only one left in the corridor at this time. Considering that Du Xian would go to the toilet for a while, and before that, Luo Qingli could only wait, but the paintings all over the corridor aroused her interest.

"This painting is so beautiful!"

Walking to the front of a painting, Luo Qingli couldn't help but be attracted by this painting, this is an oil painting, framed by a delicate glass frame, painting a portrait, in fact, Luo Qingli has no research on the painting, because he was going to attend the funeral of Old Man Zhou during the day, so he didn't look carefully, but now he is bored and seriously appreciating, even she, a layman, is attracted by this painting.

Unconsciously she moved her steps, looking at them one by one, and before she knew it, she had gone a little far.

These paintings, although in the middle of the night, these lifelike paintings are indeed a bit scary, but if you look at them carefully, no matter who you look at, you will be attracted by the people in the paintings.

"Hey, Sister Qingli, what are you doing there?"

I was looking at it intently, on the side of the corridor, Du Xian's voice came, and after she came out of the toilet, she found that Luo Qingli was not at the door, and she thought something had happened to her in a panic, but when she turned her head, she saw that Luo Qingli was looking at a painting not far away.

"Nothing ......"

After coming back to her senses, Luo Qingli was about to walk towards Du Xian, but as soon as she took a step, her body suddenly trembled, and her body froze directly in place.

"What's wrong?"

On the other side, Du Xian could realize that Luo Qingli's expression seemed to be a little bad, and she could see that Luo Qingli's gaze at this time was not so much looking at herself, but looking behind her......

"I remember there was just a window behind me......"

Trembling, Du Xian began to panic in her heart, but she didn't dare to look back, she didn't even dare to move, she guessed right, what Luo Qingli saw was the window at the end of the corridor behind her.

On the glass of the window, there was a person's face reflected, and that person Luo Qingli knew.

"Zhou Heng!"

Luo Qingli couldn't help but sink in his heart, on the window, Old Man Zhou's old face appeared, his face was expressionless, and his eyes were not even focused, but Luo Qingli could feel that the other party was staring at her!

Taking a deep breath, although Luo Qingli was a little scared, she didn't panic much, because she knew that as a host, although the task was extremely difficult, the ghost would generally not attack the host in the early stage, otherwise who would fulfill its wish?

The only thing she was worried about now was whether Du Xian would be killed, but fortunately, it seemed that the ghost had no intention of killing people at the moment, and after staring at Luo Qingli for a while, it disappeared.

"Whew!"

patted his chest, Luo Qingli immediately ran to Du Xian's side, took her hand and ran back.

"Sister Qingli, that was ...... just now"

"Ghost, it looks like the ghost is Old Man Zhou, that's right!"

Running back to his room, Luo Qingli said with a solemn face: "The time for this mission is too tight, the ghost has appeared at the beginning, and it seems that it will not be long before the murder will be killed!" ā€

"Huh? Are you going to inform the boys? ā€

"Let's talk about it when it's dawn! I don't think the ghosts will kill tonight, otherwise it would be useless for us to talk about it. ā€

After thinking about it, Luo Qingli shook his head.

"Okay!"

……

At seven o'clock in the morning, early in the morning, everyone was woken up.

"Steward Li, what's going on?"

Holding a person, Chang'an asked, "Are you going to give the old man a funeral so early in the morning?" ā€

The person who was pulled was the housekeeper of this villa, surnamed Li, and the old man Zhou was a friend and servant, and he was fifty-seven years old this year. The body of the old man is missing! ā€

"What?"

As soon as these words came out, everyone couldn't help but be shocked!

Lin Yuan said: "How can it be missing, is it man-made?" ā€

"I don't know!" Steward Li said anxiously: "Anyway, please don't leave the villa until the police arrive!" ā€

After speaking, without waiting for Chang'an and the others to respond, he left quickly, obviously to arrange for people to find Old Man Zhou's body!

"I knew it wasn't going to be that simple!"

And on this side, back in the room, Luo Qingli whispered everything she saw last night to the boys, and after speaking, she said with a solemn face: "From the fact that I saw the ghost of Old Man Zhou in the middle of the night, and then to the disappearance of Old Man Zhou's body now, it can be seen that first, the corpse with a ghost that the task requires to find should be good for Old Man Zhou." ā€

"Second, although the task has become more difficult, this is not a bad thing for us, the disappearance of Old Man Zhou's corpse also gives us a reason to stay in the villa, before the corpse is found, I don't think they will let us go!"

is worthy of a person who has survived the mission three times, and after a few words, he has turned a seemingly serious thing into a better place, which makes people's hearts feel more relaxed.

"No wonder these people respect her so much, and she deserves her courage to inspire people!"

glanced at Luo Qingli, and Chang'an couldn't help but have some admiration for her in his heart. But now there is one thing that makes Chang'an a little worried, since the ghost is Old Man Zhou, that means that Old Man Zhou's death must be unusual, it seems that the key to this matter may have to start with those people around Old Man Zhou.

"You have a point."

Chang'an told his guess, and after listening to it, everyone agreed, Luo Qingli said: "Anyway, let's go out and find out some clues first!" It's best to start with the people around you. ā€

"Hmm!"

The matter is urgent, and the ghosts may kill people at any time, so at least during the current relatively safe period, they will naturally do their best to find clues.

Nine o'clock in the morning, accompanied by a buzz.

"The police are coming?"

On the second floor of the villa, at this time, everyone had dispersed, Chang'an looked through the window, but saw a police car driving into the Zhou family's villa, and a policeman who looked to be in his thirties got out of the car, and at the same time, a group of servants and housekeepers of the Zhou family also greeted him.

This picture looks normal, the body of Old Man Zhou is missing, and his family calls the police, which is normal, but Chang'an always feels a little strange......

Old Man Zhou's identity is so noble, how could there be only a police car for such a big thing as the disappearance of his body? It stands to reason that the lowest level should be police cars surrounding the mountain, helicopter patrols, and city-wide searches, right?

"It seems that his family doesn't want to make a big deal! But why? ā€

Can you feel that the family members don't seem to be very concerned about finding Old Man Zhou's body, or is there another reason? But in short, this incident made Chang'an even more sure that something was wrong with his family.

On the other side, Luo Qingli obviously had the same idea as Chang'an......
