The story of the young man is terrifying, and I don't believe it at all.

If what he said was true, the landlord wouldn't have seen the surveillance before he reacted.

However, the abuse and killing of cats made me a little careful, a pervert is around him, even if he kills an animal, it will still make people feel uncomfortable.

When I got up the next day, I went out to have a casual bite to eat, and as soon as I got back to the apartment, I saw that the young girl who had advised everyone to find a cat last night was moving things out.

There was still a look of horror on his face.

Seeing me, the girl nodded as a greeting.

Glancing at her luggage, I stepped forward and said, "Do you want to help?" ”

The girl did not refuse, thanked me and carried her luggage to the car outside with my help. When she got into the car, the girl hesitated, "You can move away too." ”

"Because of last night?"

The girl nodded, then shook her head again and lowered her voice: "Another cat was abused and killed this morning. ”

"Something happened again?"

The girl nodded, and was about to answer, when she saw behind me, she suddenly became frightened, and hurried into the car to leave.

I looked back and saw a middle-aged man looking at me.

I haven't seen this man, but he appeared in the apartment, and he should be a tenant here, but I don't know why the girl is afraid of him.

I went upstairs to my room, and as I walked past the second floor, the young man was telling his ghost story.

There was indeed another cat that was abused and killed this morning, but not from the apartment, but from the next-door neighbor.

It was a big cat, I don't know when, it was forced into the toilet of the public toilet, and the bones of its whole body were crushed.

The only thing that was the same as last night was that one eye was gouged out and stumped next to the toilet.

Two cats were abused and killed in quick succession, and the story of the young man began to become popular in the apartment.

For a moment, the whole apartment was panicked.

The landlord had to come forward and accuse the young man of making things up in order to bring the situation under control.

It's just that she didn't explain.

In the next few days, there were no more abuses and killings, and I gradually became familiar with the people in the apartment.

The one who likes to make up stories is called Zhai Guan, a web novel writer who likes to socialize very much, and tells stories to everyone in the activity room on the second floor almost every day.

The middle-aged man who scared the girl was named Chen Er, who was the first batch of residents of the apartment, and had lived here for almost 10 years.

As soon as I came back, I stayed in my room and didn't go out.

I don't know much about him, but the only thing that impresses me is that he never wears his shoes into the room, they are always clean, neatly placed by the door, and the tips of his shoes are always pointing outward.

After dinner that day, I was scrolling through my phone in my room as usual.

There was a commotion outside, I thought there was another abuse and killing, but when I went out, I realized that it was Chen Er and Zhai Guan who quarreled.

The usually silent man was very excited, pointing at Zhai Guan and scolding for a while.

Zhai Guan, who can speak well, was dumbfounded, and just a few words back and forth.

After listening for a while, I learned that one of Zhai Guan's relatives had died, went to the cemetery, and when he came back, he found that his clothes were blown to the air conditioner of Chen Er's house downstairs, so he went to Chen Er to pick up clothes.

This was a trivial matter, and Chen Er did not refuse, let Zhai Guan wait outside, and then went to pick up clothes.

But Zhai Guan, who was already talking a lot, was talking about going to the cemetery, while leaning against the door of Chen Er's house, and subconsciously stood in the room.

Chen Er, who came out with the clothes, stopped doing it as soon as he saw it, and quarreled with Zhai Guan.

Everyone thought it was a trivial matter, and finally persuaded the two of them to stop.

Zhai Guan took his clothes and left angrily, but said in his mouth: "I went to the cemetery, and my shoes can't enter the house?" Such superstition, you put your shoes outside every day, do you go to the cemetery every day? ”

Everyone looked at the shoes outside Chen Er's house, Chen Er stared at Zhai Guan's back, his face was blue and white, and he closed the door fiercely.

The crowd dispersed, but I glanced at Chen Er's shoes again.

The shoes were clean and not stained with mud.

Thinking of this, I couldn't help but shake my head.

It's a big city, not my hometown, and even if you go to the cemetery, you won't have dirt on your shoes.

But when I got to the top of the stairs, it occurred to me.

The big cities aren't so clean that it would take a sales employee to work for a day and the shoes be spotless.

Or does he wash his shoes every day before he comes back? But why? ”

After the quarrel, the apartment was quiet for a few more days.

Everyone doesn't seem to be affected by the abuse and fighting, and lives their lives.

Chen Er still goes out early and returns late every day, silent.

The only thing that has changed is Zhai Guan, who usually either writes novels in the room, or brags on the second floor, but he seems very weird these days, going out very early, and coming back almost until dark.

This did not affect anyone, though.

On the fifth day, the battered cat was found in the apartment again.

After the two killings, the people who owned the cats in the apartment kept the cats outside, and no one knew where the cat came from.

When it was found, the cat's limbs and tail were nailed to the ceiling, its eyes were trampled underneath, and the blood dripping from the cat's mouth landed right on the eyes.

More people are planning to move out, but the landlord is not as strong as before, not only did not keep it, but also fully refunded the deposit.

It's just that when everyone was about to leave, Zhai Guan, who was covered in dirt, stopped everyone.

"I know who did it."

In a word, the calm exploded.

Without waiting for Zhai Guan to say the latter words, the landlord said: "Don't talk nonsense, this is my lax management and let the homeless people outside sneak in." ”

"yes, how could someone in the apartment do such a thing."

"These homeless people are too hateful to let them in again."

......

As soon as the landlord's words fell, a few people agreed.

I glanced at these people, and they were all the same people who had crowded into the surveillance room to watch the surveillance with the landlord. Each one, like Chen Er, has been renting here for a long time.

This apartment has secrets.

And these old people all know this secret, and even they know who the person who abused and killed the cat is, and they are helping each other hide it.

Chen Er!

A name came to my mind, and among the old people who lived here, only Chen Er was not present. Only Chen Er has the opportunity to establish a relationship with all of them.

The only thing that I don't understand is that these days, Chen Er has not interacted with them at all, and it doesn't look like he has a good relationship.

I looked at Zhai Guan, and after the initial confusion, Zhai Guan also reacted.

He took out a bunch of bottles from the backpack behind him and threw them on the ground, and said loudly in the sound of clanging collisions: "It's not someone outside, it's Chen Er, do you know what these bottles are inside?" ”
