Chapter 67: Catch the Smoker
At the gate of the community, Chen Ran was full of remorse, he really shouldn't have listened to Zhang Xiaofo's fooling, he now had to face a group of old grandfathers and grandmothers telling ridiculous stories about the murderous house that even he thought was ridiculous.
"Xiao Chen, you said that there are really ghosts in that murderous house?" An old grandmother with a furrow face is the main force in communicating with Chen Ran in the past few days.
"It's not a ghost! Actually, it's people! Chen Ran pretended to be mysterious: "After our investigation, we found a fingerprint in that room!" ”
"You say it's artificial!?" The old lady was very cooperative, and her wrinkled face was miraculously stretched out in curiosity: "Who?" Do we know each other? ”
"yes? Who is it? If that person is not safe in our community! ”
"yes, we must find that person!"
“……”
Chen Ran's news caused a sensation in the community.
"It's true!" Chen Ran is very talented in acting, and he vividly interprets a non-existent thing: "You don't believe it? It won't be long before the police come and collect fingerprints! ”
"Don't talk nonsense!"
After a stern reprimand, the crowd moved out of the way.
Chen Ran tried his best to control his twitching cheeks, watching an old man being pushed in front of him in a wheelchair.
"Boy, don't talk nonsense!" The old man's face was clear, and there was no trace of fat under the blue-yellow skin, giving people the feeling of a moving skeleton. The legs were covered by trousers, but it could still be seen from the shape of the trouser folds that the legs had shrunk to the bones: "Don't bewitch the crowd, please get out of here immediately!" ”
"I'm not lying!" Chen Ran was so excited that his face turned red.
"Hurry up, or I'll call the police!" The old man patted the armrest of the wheelchair.
The middle-aged man who had been behind him stepped forward and pushed Chen Ran down.
"It's you!" Chen Ran recognized the man who was doing it with him as the one who drove him and Zhang Xiaofo with a broom that night.
"Nonsense, let's go!" The man increased the strength of his hand.
But Chen Ran is not easy to mess with, he let the man cut his hands behind his back with his backhand, and whispered in a voice that everyone couldn't hear: "Do you want to solve it?" I'll be waiting for you in that room tonight! ”
After Chen Ran finished speaking, he let go of his hand, brushed his hair, and walked out of the community while smiling at the grandparents around him who thought he was handsome.
The middle-aged man and the old man glanced at each other.
Zhang Xiaofo has been on the other side of the green belt and has seen everything in his eyes.
……
"Brother Zhang, how is it? I'm performing, okay? Chen Ran did not leave immediately after leaving the community, but found an alley and waited for Zhang Xiaofo to appear.
"Good!" Zhang Xiaofo admits this.
"What should we prepare for the evening?" Chen Ran asked.
"What are you afraid of smoke?" Zhang Xiaofo asked.
"Wind?" Chen Ran thought for a while and replied.
"Then prepare for the wind!"
"Uh......"
……
As if cooperating with Zhang Xiaofo's actions, the moon hid in the clouds at night.
At night, the air did not cool down as the sun set, it was still unusually hot. Zhang Xiaofo and Chen Ran respectively carried backpacks and came to the community where the accident occurred again.
There is still no one in the corridor, as if it was an appointment, all the street lights are all turned off, only the reflection of each mirror.
Climbing to the top floor, Zhang Xiaofo stood in the middle of the room and waited.
Chen Ran didn't dare to disturb and prepared quietly.
"It's coming!" Zhang Xiaofo reminded.
Chen Ran quickly pointed the hair dryer on his hand at the direction that Zhang Xiaofo reminded.
A monster resembling a snake appears. The long tongue hung down on his chest like a hanged man, his short upper limbs were shrunk next to his ribs, his upper body was skinny, and his lower body was a tail of smoke from the waist down.
"Sure enough, it's a smoker!" Chen Ran swallowed the heart that was about to jump out of his throat and pressed the switch.
Oh......
The monster's tail was blown apart, shouting and circling around Zhang Xiaofo and Chen Ran, but it was not allowed to approach because of the hair dryer in Chen Ran's hand.
Zhang Xiaofo just looked at the monster with pity in his eyes.
"Why are you looking at me like that?"
The voice of the smoker made Chen Ran confused for a while.
"Because you're pitiful!" Zhang Xiaofo sighed and pulled out the dagger from his backpack.
"Pathetic? How good I am now! It's much better to be able to move freely than to be a living dead! After the monster finished speaking, he rushed towards Zhang Xiaofo.
"It's you!" Chen Ran finally knew the true identity of the smoker: "Brother Zhang, he is that old man!" ”
"I know!" Zhang Xiaofo just narrowly dodged a blow.
The smoker has no other ability, but it is fast, the upper body can be deformed, and it can pass through many gaps smaller than the body, so it is difficult to deal with.
Although there was a hair dryer to help, Zhang Xiaofo also suffered a little loss, and there were many blood marks on his face.
"Brother, I can't bear it!" Chen Ran followed the monster in circles, completely helpless: "He can't figure it out if he turns around!" ”
"You take it first!" Zhang Xiaofo opened the backpack, took out a transparent plastic skin from it, and threw it to Chen Ran: "Catch it!" ”
"Oh!" Chen Ran threw away the hair dryer in his hand, grabbed the plastic sheet, and surrounded the smoker with Zhang Xiaofo.
The smoker spun around in the plastic skin, unable to break free, and was finally covered.
"Let go of me! Let me go! "The struggle of the smoker.
"Give me peace!" Chen Ran was also polite, picked up the hair dryer and smashed it.
The smoker quieted down, and gradually regained his prototype.
"I'm going to this is more exaggerated than the alien!" Chen Ran panted: "Really look at that! Is this still human? It's a dry corpse! ”
"Watch less of the messy sci-fi movies!" Zhang Xiaofo took out the rope from his backpack and tied up the smoker who had restored the prototype.
"Is this rope reliable?" Chen Ran was worried.
"It's okay, I've soaked it in salt water!" After Zhang Xiaofo tied it up, he lit a cigarette.
"What now?" Chen Ran poked the old man lying on the ground with a dagger, and he was a little afraid: "Are you dead?" We're not going to kill people, are we? ”
"If he's dead now, we're murder!" Zhang Xiaofo nodded.
"This ......," Chen Ran was entangled in his heart.
"Don't pretend, it's not the first time I've done this!" Zhang Xiaofo said angrily.
"But that's Yangcheng!" Chen Ran muttered: "Besides, at that time, there were still people begging our family, so it was naturally easy to do things." But you beat that fox away......"
"What? You still want to get that fox back? Zhang Xiaofo asked with slanted eyes.
"No, no, no...... Brother Zhang, I'm kidding! Chen Ran was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat, closed his mouth and didn't dare to speak again.
Zhang Xiaofo was not in a hurry to make the next move, but waited.
Sure enough, it didn't take long for someone to knock on the door.
Chen Ran glanced at Zhang Xiaofo, and after getting permission, he opened the door.
The middle-aged man walked in.
