A man holding Qingwen's hand, but he has an intimate relationship with Sakura, no matter how you look at it, it looks like a very cliché love triangle.

The problem is, Qingwen is dead.

Is the killer related to Sakura and the man?

"Have you seen him?" I pointed to the man standing between the two girls in the photo and asked, "Has he ever been looking for Sakura?" ”

Sakura's roommate tilted his head to recall and slowly shook his head: "No...... Probably not, I've been roommates with Sakura for a few years, at least in the past few years, I haven't seen this man. ”

"What about Qingwen? You haven't seen it either? I remembered the details that she said before that she had an impression of Qingwen, but she couldn't remember it, so I couldn't help but ask.

"She's supposed to have been here, but she's not impressed."

"You didn't go to your last birthday party?"

The girl shook her head again: "No, I had something to do that day, and besides, they were old classmates who met, and I didn't have anything in common as an outsider in the past." ”

I habitually flexed my fingers and tapped slowly on the tabletop, recalling Sakura's words in a fixed rhythm.

She said that on Qingwen's birthday, it was very late after leaving KTV, she and Qingwen walked home, and on the way Qingwen was dragged away by someone covering her mouth and nose, and she didn't dare to call for help because she was afraid.

At the time, I thought it was strange, even if the two were old classmates who gradually became estranged as the time they saw each other decreased, Sakura should not have watched Qingwen being taken away, even if she emphasized that she was drunk at the time, dizzy and dizzy, and she couldn't even see the murderer clearly, and she was a weak woman who was powerless, this reaction was also against the moral concept of ordinary people.

It's true that people don't dare to meddle in the crime being committed because they're afraid, and they also have reservations when facing the police, but they have a sense of guilt in their hearts to hide, and Sakura, if I'm not mistaken, she's actually a little ...... Excited?

My fingers tapped lightly on the table, and I was about to open my mouth after recalling, when I saw that Lin Yi and the others had wrong faces.

I moved, what's wrong?

Everyone's eyes went up, and I threw my head back, realizing that when I was deep in thought, I thought it was just the sound of my own fingers, but in fact there was a second sound.

That's also a very rhythmic banging sound.

Tuk-tuk.

Coming down from the ceiling, the movement was like someone walking upstairs on tiptoe.

"You guys don't have good sound insulation." I didn't take the sound to heart, so I withdrew my gaze and looked at Sakura's roommate with a smile.

The girl's face was pale, her eyes were full of fear, and she stammered, "But...... There was no one upstairs, it was an empty room, it had been empty for a long time. ”

How so? If it was an empty room, what are we hearing now?

For a moment, everyone looked at each other, and everyone's faces were not very good-looking.

My gaze passed over the stunned girl and landed on Sakura's cluttered single bed, and a thought suddenly crossed through my mind, what if Sakura wasn't actually going down when we went upstairs just now? Will she go upstairs?

Could it be Sakura who is leaving a gentle footstep upstairs now?

A big living person could never disappear for no reason, she could have gone downstairs under the cover of darkness, or she might have chosen to go up before we arrived.

I remember glancing at it from afar, and the building had five floors, and Sakura and her sisters lived on the fourth floor.

"Let's go, go up and have a look." I slammed the table and stood up.

"Can I not go?" Sakura's roommate asked me in a whisper.

"Of course, you just stay in your room and remember to lock the door."

That being said, the girl changed her mind and chose to go upstairs with us anyway.

In this regard, she blushed a little embarrassed and explained: "I think it's safer to follow you, more people can rest assured, you are a policeman, don't you have a police badge to protect your body?" ”

The girl was not pretty, and her appearance was very ordinary, but when she looked at me timidly with those scared eyes, I still relented, and it was normal to be afraid, so I agreed that she would follow us and motioned for Lin Yi to protect her.

This time we went upstairs, we brought a girl's flashlight, it was a flashlight that is difficult to see on the market now, the adult forearm is so thick, the hand is very heavy, as soon as the switch is turned on, a beam of light shines far away.

"This is what I brought from my hometown, and I have been doing it for a few years, and although it is usually inconvenient to put it in my bag, I feel safe."

I weighed the weight of my hand and agreed with the girl that this thing could definitely be used as a weapon when swung out.

The footsteps of four men resounded in the staircase, and as I turned the corner, I caught a glimpse of the rental room I had just left, the light streaming from behind the half-open door, illuminating a small area in front of it.

The door of the rental house was half-open and half-hidden, and a dark shadow flashed by so fast that I thought I was dazzled by it.

"What's wrong?" I walked in the front, subconsciously stopped, and Wang Qiuyue, who was following behind, suddenly bumped into my back, she rubbed her forehead and looked up with concern.

I blinked vigorously, it was still the same rental house, it was still the same door panel, even the angle of opening had not changed, and the light in the room looked warm.

There is no dark shadow at all.

"It's nothing, I guess I'm wrong." I withdrew my gaze and continued to walk up with my feet up.

The door on the fifth floor was closed, I slapped it a few times, and the sound of knocking echoed in the quiet stairwell, and no one came to open the door after knocking for a long time.

"Detective He, use your trick to open the door." Sakura's roommate egged me on.

I looked funny, the girl was afraid that the whole person was hiding behind Lin Yi's back, so she only stretched out her head from the side, stretched her neck and curiously encouraged me to open the door.

After thinking about it, I took the hairpin from Wang Qiuyue's hair, and the top priority was to find Sakura, as long as there was any possibility, I should not let it go.

Of course, the door lock is more difficult to open than the lock on the drawer, but fortunately this is not an advanced security door, it is an old-fashioned lock, and after a little effort, I opened it smoothly.

The door shaft that had not been opened and closed for a long time made a babbling and screeching sound, scraping the eardrums, which was very uncomfortable, and the floor of the room that slowly appeared in front of me was covered with thick dust.

Fresh air flowed in from the outside, and the air in the long-term closed space suddenly began to circulate, and the convection wind blew the ground, bringing up dust, and we standing at the door were caught off guard and inhaled a large mouthful of dust, and we were choked and coughed one by one.
