Chapter 49: Prelude to Revenge

The screams seemed to come from the hall on the first floor, and when Ye Yu ran downstairs, several people had already gathered at the scene, except for Zhou Hao and Chen Tao, who had just gone downstairs, Qian Yunneng and You Yong were also there.

In the crowd, You Yong sat on the floor, trembling and pointing to a corner of the hall.

Following the direction You Yong pointed, Ye Yu vaguely saw a black thing lying motionless in the corner, and when he got closer, a smell of blood came to his face.

This is ......!!

After seeing the true face of that thing, Ye Yu's body trembled suddenly, and a feeling of nausea came up, and he subconsciously covered his mouth and took a few steps back.

It was a black plastic bag, and inside it was the corpse of a cat...... No, wreckage, to be exact.

The cat had been disemboweled, its internal organs and stumps were scattered from the plastic bag, and the blood was almost drained, and the miserable appearance made it impossible to look at it directly.

"Cat ......!" Zhou Hao's face changed slightly, and at the same time, Chen Tao and Qian Yunneng seemed to have thought of something, and their expressions were very complicated.

"This ...... Who did this to you!? It's cruel! Ye Yu was shocked.

"I ...... I don't know! You Yong's voice was slightly out of tune due to fright. I just saw a plastic bag popping up here, and I was curious to open it and take a look,......"

"It's just a dead cat, scared like this, useless thing!" Zhou Hao pretended to be calm and reprimanded. "Don't clean it up yet!"

"No, no, no, spare me, Team Zhou! I'm most afraid of cats! You Yong's mouth was full of tears.

"What's going on?" Xu Yanwei walked down from the second floor and looked into the crowd, seemingly attracted by the screams just now.

"You, you, you ......! Don't look at it! When You Yong saw Xu Yanwei leaning over, he waved his hand anxiously, but it seemed to be too late.

"Woo-ah-ah!"

As expected, the timid Xu Yanwei let out an even more terrible scream, and the sound kept echoing in the empty house, which made people tremble when they heard it.

"What the hell is it called!" Xu Yanwei's reaction made Zhou Hao, who was already very irritable, even more angry, and he was about to raise his fist to beckon Xu Yanwei's face, but was stopped by Qian Yunneng.

"Team Zhou, don't get excited!" Qian Yunneng tilted his head as he spoke, and glanced at Zhou Hao.

Zhou Hao glanced at Ye Yu on the side, and seemed to realize that something was wrong, so he forcibly put down his fist with anger and said viciously to Xu Yanwei:

"Clean up the cat carcass for me! Right now! ”

"I ...... I...... Team Zhou...... This ......"

"Let you go! Do you want to be beaten?! Zhou Hao's eyes widened, and he took out a key and threw it to Xu Yanwei. Broom garbage bag in the office, go get it! ”

Xu Yanwei wanted to say something, but as soon as he saw Zhou Hao's fierce face, he swallowed it back instantly, so he had to take the key and run to the office on the second floor tremblingly.

"Tut-tut, who put it, I didn't seem to find it when I was on the first floor with Reporter Ye just now." Liang Yunxiao came out of nowhere, looked at the cat's corpse and shook his head repeatedly.

After Liang Yunxiao mentioned this, Ye Yucai recalled that he didn't seem to have seen this bag when he was looking around on the first floor, and that time was only more than half an hour away, which also means that this cat corpse could only have been placed here during that time......

Who put it? What was the purpose of that man?

Just as Ye Yu was about to organize his thoughts, he was suddenly interrupted by a frightened yell.

"Team Zhou! Team Zhou!! Oh no! Phantom...... The ghost has appeared!! ”

Ye Yu was stunned for a moment, and when he looked up, he saw Xu Yanwei crawling downstairs, looking scared.

"You kid is not finished!" The green tendons on Zhou Hao's head burst out, and he obviously couldn't bear it anymore.

"Office...... Check it out! Something happened! Xu Yanwei was so frightened that he was about to cry.

Zhou Hao suppressed his anger, turned around and walked up the stairs, and walked to the office to find out.

Ghost apparitions? Is it really haunted?

Ye Yu, who was aroused by curiosity, hurriedly followed everyone to the office, and saw Zhou Hao and others at the door of the office from a distance, their eyes focused on the room, their faces full of shock.

Ye Yu walked up to the room to take a look, and was immediately speechless by the scene in the room.

Go to hell!

Go to hell!!

Go to hell!!!

On the walls, ceilings, windows, doors...... I don't know what was densely written with curse words, the blood-red handwriting was shocking, and the whole room was filled with a thick smell of blood, which was disgusting.

"This ...... What the hell is this! Ye Yu set his eyes on Zhou Hao, but found that the other party's expression was undergoing extremely complex changes, from shock to horror, and finally overwhelmed by manic anger.

"You kid did it!?" Zhou Hao turned to Xu Yanwei on the side, seemingly a little out of his mind.

"It's not me! Not me!! Xu Yanwei waved his hand again and again, terrified. I just opened the door and found this, and I'm going to call you right away! “

"Impossible!" Zhou Hao's eyes widened angrily, "When you locked the door, everyone saw that it was clean inside, there was only one key in the office, and it was always on me, it could only be that you did it after opening the door just now!" Otherwise, there is no way to explain it! ”

"I don't think he can do it in such a short period of time." Liang Yunxiao swaggered into the office as he spoke, stretched out his finger and wiped the words on the wall slightly, and sniffed it gently. "It's blood, and it's not very fresh, and judging by the degree of dryness, it's been written on the wall for some time."

"Is it human blood?" You Yong asked tremblingly.

"I don't know, but judging from the corpse of the cat outside, I'm afraid it's the cat's blood." Liang Yunxiao took out a tissue and wiped his fingers, while walking around the room, looking around.

"It was about five o'clock in the afternoon when we walked out of the office, and now it's half past six in the evening, which means that in this hour and a half, someone killed a cat, wrote these threatening messages here with the blood of the dead cat, and then threw the cat's corpse in the lobby on the first floor?" Ye Yu analyzed and turned to Zhou Hao. "Team Zhou, are you sure you haven't been back to the office or given the key to anyone after locking the door at five o'clock?"

"Absolutely not!" Zhou Hao was determined.

"Can anyone prove it?" Liang Yunxiao interjected.

"Are you suspicious of me!?" Zhou Hao shouted angrily. Chen Tao can testify that after coming out of the office at that time, because ...... Something to look for him...... So we have been together all the time and have never walked away! As he spoke, he glanced at Chen Tao behind him, and the latter snorted lightly without smiling, which was regarded as a tacit acquiescence.

"That's weird, could it be that someone entered through the window?" Ye Yu walked into the office, only to find that the window was locked from the inside.

Chamber? No way......

Ye Yu frowned slightly, and asked Xu Yanwei, "Have you entered this room since you opened the door?" ”

"Really no, I ran down in fear after opening the door, where did I dare to go in!" Xu Yanwei shrank outside the door and said weakly.

Ye Yu looked outside through the window and found that there was a mud floor under the window, and although the office was on the second floor, due to the high distance between the buildings, it was ten meters from this window to the bottom, even if this window was not locked, it was not easy to enter and exit through the window.

"You said you hadn't been in the room, and that's just your words." Liang Yunxiao smiled and looked directly at Xu Yanwei. "It's not that I want to doubt you, it's just that if you use a rope to enter and exit here through the window, and then use the opportunity to open the door alone and lock the window from the inside before we catch up, you can complete the layout of the so-called secret room, and the only one who can do this is you who opened the door just now."

"Sure enough, it's you, kid!" Zhou Hao clenched his fists, looking like he was going to beat someone.

"I really don't!! At that time, I had no idea that Team Zhou would let me open an office! Xu Yanwei was so anxious that he broke out in a cold sweat, his clothes were soaked with sweat, and he defended again and again. Still climbing ropes? My physical strength is so poor, how can I do it! ”

"If anyone is entering or exiting this window through a rope, just look outside." Ye Yu looked at the mud outside the window and said. "If you climb down the window and escape to the garden outside, there will be marks on the dirt floor below."

"That makes sense, let's go outside and have a look." Liang Yunxiao agreed to Ye Yu's proposal, and Zhou Hao also nodded and acquiesced, so the group went downstairs directly and went straight to the window area facing the office outside the villa.

Outside, it was already dark, the wind was blowing, and it seemed that a storm was coming.

Led by Zhou Hao, the group turned on the flashlight and carefully checked the muddy ground directly under the office window.

Very clean, not half a footprint.

"Could it be that instead of landing, you will climb to the next room or downstairs?" Liang Yunxiao proposed a new possibility.

Ye Yu scanned the exterior wall of the villa with a flashlight, from the outside, the office window was in the first room on the left side of the villa, the right side of the office was the wall, and there was a window on the left and above, which should be other rooms; Below, there are white walls and no passages.

"Where's right below the office? Why are there no windows? Ye Yu asked.

"I guess it's a washroom." Zhou Hao looked at the position Ye Yu was pointing to and replied.

There are no vents in the washroom? What a strange layout. But then, if you want to climb out of that window, the only places you can go are the next room and the third floor directly above.

Ye Yu pondered, and asked Zhou Hao about the situation of his two rooms.

"The room next door to the office is locked, the key is always on me, no one lives there." Zhou Hao replied. "Because that's the room where Jiang Xin, the first member of the team who had an accident, used to live, and he died there."

"Is it the first room where the accident happened......" Ye Yu glanced at the window of the black hole, and the gloomy feeling made him swallow his saliva.

"As for the room directly above the third floor, it is a storage room, and the window was originally sealed, so it is impossible for anyone to enter or leave."

"So it seems that there is no other way out but to land and flee to the garden? But there are no traces on the mud floor...... Ye Yu carefully observed the exterior wall, and found that the entire villa wall had no balcony and other things to climb, if someone really climbed out of the window, it was almost impossible to climb into the other windows in the next room.

"Looks like it's not coming in and out of the window." Liang Yunxiao shrugged, as if he also saw the current situation.

"If it's not through the window and the door is locked, what's the matter with those words in the office?" You Yong's voice trembled a little.

No one spoke for a moment, and everyone instantly thought of the ghost letter.

On the night of the storm, I will fulfill my prophecy again.

"He's coming......" Xu Yanwei couldn't help but start trembling. It's Zheng Qiu's undead! ”
