"What do you call me?"

Griff was stunned, after all, no one had called him that for a long time. Listening to such a title, he still misses it a little, and he also has a lot of things he wants to make clear.

"I didn't say anything, Mr. 71 must have heard me wrong, right? It's raining outside, so let's go in and talk about it. ”

Crunch ~ rusty door shaft rubbing.

The soaked umbrella is stored in the vertical bucket at the door,

Strangely, the interior of this villa feels more oppressive and is nowhere near as big as it looks from the outside.

It's more like a Japanese-style villa, with no open hall and just a straight entrance and a staircase to the second floor.

Then

A white-haired woman wearing a mask walked out of the room at the end of the entrance, wearing only a turtleneck sweater that covered half of her thighs at the lower end, looking slender and fair.

"This is my wife, Jessica.

She has an infectious disease and needs to wear a mask at all times, and I hope Mr. Detective doesn't mind. As long as you can help find the 'snooping source' in the house and remove it, I'm willing to pay five times the price or more. ”

"Okay."

Grepp looked the silver-haired lady in the mask up and down, making sure he had never seen it before. I don't know why, after looking at each other for a long time, I always feel a slight toothache.

Led by a white-haired woman, we went to the living room for dinner.

However, as Grep took off his shoes and walked onto the wooden floor of the entryway, a 'sense of prying eyes' suddenly struck, and he suddenly looked at the stairs leading to the second floor.

Didn't see any ghosts, but saw a spoon at the end of the stairs,

Obviously a very ordinary spoon, Grep has a feeling that his eyes are going to be gouged out. When Grepp looked closely, the smooth surface of the spoon reflected in the light, as if it reflected the woman with black hair covering her face standing on the second floor above the stairs.

In the blink of an eye, the spoon was gone.

The feeling of uneasiness permeates the body, but ...... William's appearance in front of him made Grep more concerned, and he was more speculating about William's intention.

However, since William did not express his position, he continued to maintain his status as a detective.

The living room and dining room are next to each other, and the dining table is filled with hearty food.

Grepp looked around with a big grin and sat down when he was sure there was nothing wrong, and at a glance he noticed a hair in the sandwich in front of him.

However, the hair is black,

The owner of the house played by William and his wife are not this hair color, and for safety reasons, Grepp did not eat for the time being, but chatted with the two first.

"By the way, is it just the two of you living here?"

"That's right, Madame, she's not in good health, so we don't have children. We've lived here for decades, but we've had a lot of strange things happen since three months ago.

I used to work as a technical consultant in a steel mill and was away from home most of the time, and it was my wife who first noticed the problem.

When she was taking a shower, she always felt a person standing behind the shower curtain.

At first, I thought it was just that she had been reporting some bad news lately, and she was a little nervous to stay at home alone, so I asked for leave to come back to spend some time with her.

But when I stayed at home, I felt the abnormality as well.

When I'm in the shower, I also feel like there's someone behind the shower curtain, and as time goes by, this sense of prying is getting more and more frequent.

Under the bed, in the closet, behind the sofa or in the window.

Until one day something really happened. ”

The owner of the house, played by William, also took Madame into her seat when she said this, drank fresh milk soaked in corn flakes and began to tell strange things.

"Two weeks ago, I couldn't sleep well because of the long-term peeping sensation.

One morning I woke up at 6 a.m. and couldn't sleep anymore, thinking about going for a morning jog to relax, and then happened to pass by a 24-hour fast food restaurant, so I sat down to rest and eat something.

When it came to eight o'clock, I suddenly remembered that my wife would be a little scared when she was home alone, so I called her. ”

When he said this, William was like a caring husband clinging to the back of his wife's hand.

As a result, there was a trilling sound on the other end of the phone, and the lady said that I was sleeping next to him, maintaining a side sleeping position, and I couldn't see my face......

Hearing this, I immediately rushed back as fast as I could.

But when I got home, my wife had fainted from fright. When she woke up, her spirit continued to be unstable, so I quit my job and stayed at home with her. ”

"Why don't you move?"

"It's our third home, and even when we're in the hospital room, the peeping sense doesn't go away. The thing that peeps at us is not in a house, but in both of us.

We've tried a lot of things, but none of them worked.

A few days ago, I accidentally saw your information from the corner of a common newspaper, and I came to you with the idea of giving it a try. Unfortunately, you didn't respond when you came to visit, and the door was not locked.

I left the letter on the table, locked the door for you, and left. ”

After saying that, William also took a bite of the sandwich, which also seemed to have a black hair in it.

Grepp looked at it but didn't say directly, "Okay, I know the general situation, let's do a whole house inspection for your family today, and if you don't find it, you will consider other methods." ”

When Grep was about to get up and check,

Syllable! His arm was suddenly pressed down by William across the table, and the force was so great that the arm that was pressed was aching faintly.

William cracked a creepy smile, "Mr. 71 doesn't like the food my wife prepares?" You don't seem to have even eaten a bite. ”

"I don't like to eat breakfast very much, and having a bottle of whisky on an empty stomach relaxes my brain and improves my detection. If I could, how about I pack them back for a late-night snack later? ”

With that, Grepp put the whiskey that the taxi driver had given him on the table, and William slowly let go.

"I see, I don't know much about you...... Drinking alcohol on an empty stomach is not good for the stomach, and it will greatly increase the probability of gastrointestinal cancer, not to mention ordinary gastrointestinal diseases, which will make your body smell. ”

Grepp spread his hands, "It's enough to live in a city like this, there's no need to live too long, once I'm sure I'm cancer, I'll immediately find a high-rise building to experience the feeling of falling from a drunken state, and see if I can fall directly into the hell of the wine." ”

"Mr. 71 is really interesting, no wonder God will give you such an [eye], and the rest of the time will trouble you. There are no restrictions on all areas of the house, search at will, and call us at any time if you have any questions. ”

"Then I'll go to the second floor first."

Grepp left the living room and stopped slightly at the entrance.

The "third eye" in the center of his eyebrows suddenly opened, and he looked through the wall to observe William and his wife who were dining.

Instead of using utensils, William eats with his hands.

The lady sat aside, cutting the food with a knife and fork, stuffing it into her mouth from the lower end of the mask, chewing it slowly.

This contrasting scene looks slightly weird,

But considering William's corresponding owner of the house, it is understandable that he gave up his high-paying job to stay at home with his wife and has been under the mental pressure of prying eyes.

"I don't know what William is doing, he still continues to act even though he called my name, is he trying to pass on something to me through acting? Or is it deliberately testing me?

I'm getting more and more scheming......

Grepp had already stepped on the stairs of the second floor while he was thinking, but when he hadn't fully walked up,

Giggle~

There was a low hoarseness, the sound of bubbles coming from deep in the throat came from above, and it seemed as if someone was about to climb out of the corner of the stairs.
