Chapter 140: The Dead Man Hangs on a Tree
That voice drew our attention to the past. Because judging from the sounds around the ninth floor, there is no one here. Coupled with the large group of beauties we met just now, there are very few people here now. There is no sound at all, and suddenly there is the sound of a person falling, can we not pay attention?
Neither of us spoke, and walked straight towards the voice over there.
In room 904 over there, the door was still open, and the door panel was blown slightly when the night wind blew, after all, it was an old house, and the door made a "squeak" sound. It was very loud in the silence.
I don't know if it's a mental effect or what, I can't seem to hear the sound of cars outside the building, the whole environment seems to be quiet, only the door is creaking.
Finally, we stood outside the door and saw the woman lying on the ground.
The moment I saw her, I was so shocked that my whole blood was condensed, and my heart stopped beating at that moment. The woman, lying on the ground, wrapped around her neck with the strip of red cloth she had torn from the book, and her hands were still tugging at the sides of the strip. It's as if you strangled yourself. She must have fallen from the fitting mirror over there, and her feet were still in front of the fitting mirror. She was wearing a white nightdress, but on her feet was a pair of high red high heels. When she fell, her head was tilted, looking in the direction of the door. Her eyes bulged out, staring in the direction of the doorway. It was as if they were looking straight at me. I could even see my reflection in her eyes.
Of course it wasn't possible, but at that time, I felt that way.
When I reacted, my first instinct was to scream. But before my voice came out, Niu Lifan had already pulled me and ran to the elevator. The elevator was still on the ninth floor, and after we entered the elevator, Niu Lifan ripped off the talisman that had just been pasted in the elevator, and then looked at me.
I clasped my hands tightly, and I could feel the cold coming from the depths of my body, and my whole body was cold.
"We're going to call the police!" I said, "That woman might be dead." ”
"She didn't die a natural death!" Niu Lifan's voice was also trembling, I don't think he was much better than me.
"I know she didn't die a natural death! She... She... The strip of red cloth around her neck, I had seen it in the afternoon. She was ripped from the tree in the doorway. She said it was a red line, and I saw that it was clearly a strip of red cloth, the kind of cloth strip of the banner hanging on the side of the road. She, she, she should have strangled herself with that strip of cloth. ”
"Haunted!" Niu Lifan lowered his voice and said, "She's haunted!" We can't call the police, and if we call the police, the police will investigate, and if we really can't find clues, if we can't find the murderer, maybe we will have to take the blame. This kind of death, calling the police is not good for us at all. The police could not believe that she had been strangled by a demon. Niu Lifan's voice was about to cry. He probably hasn't encountered this kind of thing either.
I looked at the number marked one on the elevator and blurted out, "Zong Sheng, where are you?" "I miss Zong Sheng so much, at this time, if he is here, he should be able to handle it.
Walking out of the elevator, Niu Lifan and I stood in front of the door of the Lingling Building, looking at the passers-by coming and going on the street, and no one noticed that someone had just died upstairs. For a while, we didn't know what to do, and we stood at the door of Lingling Mansion for several minutes before he said, "Go back, just don't see anything." There are no cameras here, and we were just standing in the aisle, so even if the police came to investigate, they wouldn't have been able to find us. After a few seconds, he crouched down and said, "Why are you so unlucky?" This kind of thing happened when I came out with you. When you go home, remember to cross the fire before entering the door. ”
"Is that all there is to it tonight?" I asked rhetorically. We're supposed to be here tonight to pretend to be a ghost, and I've even got the red paint ready, just waiting to paint a red handprint on the wall. At first, I was scared enough by the bloody handprints in the Shane Hotel, and I thought of using this method to scare the female boss.
"No, what else? You Xuan, why are you thinking about pretending to be a ghost and scary? If this kind of thing is discovered, the defendant will also be required to pay moral compensation. ”
"You can't just leave it at that." I insisted, "If that's the case, Lingling Mansion will be possible... "Zong Sheng was transferred away by them, I can't watch their plan succeed, I have to find a way to get the female boss of Mingda to bid this time, no matter what method is used. If I can't pretend to be a ghost, I'll beg her. I went and told her that we had to get this building, and that it was about the health and fortune of the whole area around here. There is even a chance that someone will die because of this. We'll have to get this building to set up against the Shane Hotel over there.
But if I say that, will she believe it? Will you give us this opportunity to make money? People who have heard of real estate, in order to bid, buy murderers, kill competitors. But I haven't heard of anyone letting it out. Sometimes, the hell or something is impossible, because there is a temptation in front of it.
I don't know how to talk to Niu Lifan, and I don't know if he will help me. But after a few seconds, my mind finally turned. I pulled Niu Lifan up, but it was still very hard to pull him who was squatting to stand up.
"Niu Lifan, the woman in there is dead."
Niu Lifan looked at me, a little puzzled, why did I suddenly ask him like this, and he kept looking at me. After a while, he said, "It looks like he's dead." You don't want to go up and rob the dead now, do you? ”
"What do you think! We're here tonight to pretend to be a ghost to scare that wise female boss. Now we don't need to pretend, the ready-made ghost is there. She said she was going to bid, but on the night of the first two days of bidding, the building was dead, and it was still such a dead man, do you think if you were the boss, would you still buy this building? ”
"If it were me, I wouldn't. My family doesn't have that much money. ”
I slapped him hard: "What if you're the boss?" ”
"She's a woman, I'm a man!"
"Be serious, if it were you, would you still buy it? Anyway, it's me, I definitely won't buy it. ”
"It's hard to say, we are all small people, they are big bosses, maybe people think that this is just an opportunity to lower the price?"
"Or is the bid going to be postponed because people are dead inside? Great, it's good to be able to push back. At least wait until Zong Sheng returns. I said. Although that woman died, from a humanitarian point of view, I shouldn't have such a heart, but I feel that God is helping us in the dark.
I laughed, "Wait, we'll just wait and see what happens later." I went over there and bought two instant noodles, and we just sat under the tree and ate them, waiting to see how things went. ”
I said, and I really went to buy instant noodles. In the small supermarket, there is boiling water, and you can also soak it with instant noodles by the way.
Ten minutes later, I returned to the door of Lingling Building and handed Niu Lifan Lanlan instant noodles. The two of us sat on a marble frame under a tree in front of the building, facing the building, looking at the situation on the ninth floor.
The light in the room on the ninth floor seemed to flicker a few times, and I don't know if it was still haunted. Isn't the woman dead? What else is there to make a fuss.
I ate instant noodles and said to Niu Lifan beside me: "You said, the woman's eyes just now kept looking at us at the door, could it be that she has already seen us." Do you think that we did not save her, so they resent us and wanted to harm us? ”
"Don't talk about this, I'm scared. I can't eat it for a while. ”
After taking a few bites and eating most of the instant noodles, I accidentally glanced sideways and saw a woman hanging from the tree next to us with a strip of red cloth. The woman was wearing a white nightdress, and it was clear that she was the one who died upstairs.
As soon as I exclaimed, I turned my face away and hid behind Niu Lifan. Niu Lifan looked at me and asked, "What are you doing?" ”
He can't see it? I wondered in my heart, and then I looked around, and there were people shopping, people coming and going, and even people hugging and kissing by the edge of the tree, next to the beautiful woman who was hanging. It turns out that no one else can see it, only I can.
I didn't dare to look any further, so I could only say in a voice that only Niu Lifan could hear: "The one upstairs is hanging on the tree over there." Strips of red cloth hang on trees. ”
Niu Lifan looked over, but he probably couldn't see it, and after looking at it for a few seconds, he said: "I guess that tree has been hanged before." It's just hanging with the strip of red cloth you said. By the way, I remember last year when the news said that there was a car parked in the parking line near here, and it was good, and suddenly the gas pedal hit the road tree, and the driver died on the spot. It is said that he died not in a car accident, but by suffocation, as if he had some kind of illness in himself. Now that I think about it, maybe I was taken by this tree and strangled to death by the strip of red cloth. ”
"No, I don't remember."
"Can you remember this? Hey, is it the one upstairs? ”
"Yes, it's the one upstairs, wearing white pajamas and red heels."
"It looks like they're dead, they're all tied up. Did she look at us? Do you look like you know us? The tension and uneasiness that had finally calmed down were lifted up again.
I didn't dare to look at her, for fear that if she really looked at us, or knew us with a face, and resented us for not saving her, then ours would suffer.
