Three hours later, at the edge of District 21.

"Is this the White Orchid Apartment?"

After repeatedly comparing the house numbers, Mo Bai finally confirmed that the dilapidated and old apartment in front of him was the destination of this trip.

It's just that...... Why is this apartment so dilapidated?

Looking at the mottled wall skin, rusty handles, rotten wooden doors, and broken window panes on the exterior walls of this apartment, Mo Bai couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

You must know that the residential building where the night food bar was located before is already the oldest group in the living area......

These are the buildings that were built at the beginning of the establishment of the living area, and they have passed 20 years, but they are still strong and undecayed by all means.

But this building in front of me ......

Mo Bai walked to the wooden door of the apartment and looked at it carefully, and seemed to understand something.

The apartment is supposed to have existed long before the establishment of the living area, and the overall wooden structure and decay suggest that it was not the work of the architects in the living area.

After the establishment of the living quarters, the government's first requirement for a building was to be sturdy and durable, and this building obviously did not meet the requirements, and a wooden structure like this only existed before the fog erupted.

"Is it the old house before the fog appeared...... I really haven't seen it. ”

Mo Bai smiled slightly, stepped forward and knocked on the wooden door.

"Knock Knock Knock ......"

Soon, there was a movement inside the door, and then there was a "squeak", and the wooden door opened from the inside......

A thin old man appeared behind the door.

"Who are you looking for?"

The old man said with a wary face.

"Hello, you are the landlord of this apartment, Mr. Quartz and Mr. Shi, right? I'm the clean-up officer for the Pollution Disposal Bureau, and here's my ID. ”

Mo Bai smiled, took out his documents and shook them in front of the old man, and then began to explain the situation:

"That's right, we have received reports from the masses that people have often disappeared in this apartment recently, please ask ......"

"That's what I reported!"

This old man Shi obviously didn't have a good temper, so he waved his hand impatiently, and directly interrupted Mo Bai's words.

Immediately afterward, he suddenly complained:

"You guys eat dry food, it's the same at any time, if there is anything that can't come over at the first time, you have to force people to complain before you can pay attention to it......

When Lao Tzu first reported it, no one came over after waiting for several days, but as a result of a complaint last night, you came one after another this morning, which is really cheap! ”

When Mo Bai heard this, he couldn't help frowning, but it wasn't because Old Man Shi didn't speak well, but because he heard some other information from Old Man Shi's words.

"What do you mean...... Anyone else has been here? ”

Old man Shi glared at him angrily and replied:

"You're the fifth of the day."

"Uh......"

Mo Bai was a little speechless for a while, he didn't expect that there were four people who arrived before him, and it was the same morning.

"Excuse me, what about them now?"

"They all said that they would stay and investigate, and they stayed upstairs, and it happened that some people were missing here, and there was a room vacant, so everything was arranged."

Old man Shi glanced at him and threw a sentence directly:

"So, are you going to go, or are you going to stay?"

"Of course it's staying!"

Mo Bai smiled, and got into the door without the consent of Old Man Shi, although someone took the lead, but it did not prevent him from taking over directly.

Big deal, we can all work together......

If someone really wants to go it alone, then they can do it by themselves.

"If you want to live, you can stay, there is just one room left, 100 a night, you can stay, if you can't, you can leave."

On this condition 100 ...... a night

It's really dark!

Mo Bai complained in his heart, but he smiled on his face and nodded directly.

Anyway, he can't spend all his money now, let alone 100 a day, even 500 a day he can afford to live.

"Okay, the room is on the third floor, I'll take you there."

Seeing that Mo Bai was so refreshing, Old Man Shi's attitude was also better, after all, it was difficult to find such a wronged leader, so he had to find a way to let him stay for a few more days.

So, under the leadership of Old Man Shi, Mo Bai came to the third floor.

He found that there were six rooms on the third floor, and all but room 306 was facing the hallway, and the other five rooms were on the side.

"Your room is 305, right next to 306, the original tenant of this room disappeared five days ago, and I reported it to you at that time."

Standing at the top of the stairs, Old Man Shi stretched out his head and looked into the corridor, he didn't seem to want to stay here longer, and directly put the two keys in Mo Bai's hands.

"One of these two keys is for the room and the other is for the door of the apartment, remember to put it away, otherwise you will have to pay extra money if you lose it."

After explaining, he turned around and prepared to go downstairs.

"That...... Mr. Shi! ”

Mo Bai hurriedly stopped him.

"Can you tell me about the situation and information about the missing person? This helped me with my investigation. ”

"Information?"

At this time, Old Man Shi's face once again showed an impatient look, turned his head to look at him, and then waved his hand and said:

"I've already said these things four times, you can go and ask those colleagues of yours directly, they are in room 1234 on this floor, don't bother me if you have nothing to do."

After speaking, Old Man Shi left without looking back.

“……”

Looking at Old Man Shi's back, Mo Bai was a little speechless, but he was not angry, and directly turned his head and looked at the corridor.

"One, two, three, four, plus my five...... Are all these people missing so neatly? ”

He pondered as he lifted his foot into the hallway and walked towards his 305.

As he passed through the hallway, Mo Bai casually looked out the window and saw a scruffy figure sitting next to the coffee shop across the street, smoking a cigarette one by one.

It seems that Lao Yi really likes the cigarettes he gave him very much, so he is relieved.

After all, the one who received the gift......

Work will also become diligent!

Mo Bai grinned and came to the door of 305.

"Click!"

"Squeak~"

The door opened, and there was a musty smell in front of him, Mo Bai frowned and waved it in front of him to disperse the musty smell, and then looked at the room.

I have to say that this room is cleaner than he imagined, and there are no signs of struggle in it, except for the lack of maintenance of the old age, which causes the wood to be a little moldy and damp, there are no other problems.

Don't...... Didn't this person go missing in the room?

Mo Bai touched his chin and thought for a moment, but decided to communicate with his colleagues first, after all, he alone had no information, which was really unfair.

So, he said he moved, went directly to 304 next door, and knocked on the door.

"Knock Knock Knock ......"

"Who?!"

A vigilant but somewhat familiar female voice appeared in the door......
