Yet even if we coughed so hard that we could still see clearly by the light of the flashlight, there was not a single footprint left on the floor.

So, where did the footsteps just now come from?

"Master, are we going to go in again?"

Hands covered mouth and nose, I stood at the door, most of the room is in sight, the layout of this room is basically the same as downstairs, the small living room is connected with four doors, directly opposite are two bedrooms, the right side is the kitchen and bathroom, two bedrooms, a living room, a kitchen and a bathroom, although the house is small, all the organs.

"Not going in."

I took a step back, and everyone followed suit.

Sakura's roommate poked his head out from Lin Yi's side, "Why don't you go in?" Detective He, let's go in and take a look, otherwise as long as I think of the footsteps just now, I won't dare to continue to live alone. ”

"How can it be alone, don't you have roommates?"

The girl was a little embarrassed: "That's not ...... If she's a suspect, you're going to have to take her back to the police station, or I'm the only one left. ”

I was a little amused, and finally glanced at the room, gently closed the door, and explained to the girl first: "The dust is so thick, it is obvious that no one has lived in it for a long time, and if anyone has entered this room recently, there is no way for him not to leave a footprint, so there is no need to go in and see, I can tell you now that there is no one inside." ”

After explaining, he asked the girl: "Are you not afraid that your roommate is a murderer, but you are afraid of the ethereal footsteps?" ”

The girl retorted confidently: "That's necessary, even if Sakura really kills someone, with you here, what am I afraid of, but the footsteps are different, you said that there is no one, so the footsteps can make a ...... Could it be a ghost? ”

I raised my hand and tapped it on the top of the girl's head: "When you have time, memorize the core values of socialism, and you won't have the leisure to think about these things." ”

Turning around, I took the lead downstairs again, and the sparse footsteps followed me, and I could hear the girl ask Lin Yi: "What are the core values of socialism, prosperity, democracy, civilization and harmony, I can't memorize them all." ”

Lin Yi said angrily: "If you can't memorize everything, I can't memorize it all." ”

The girl asked, "Why?" ”

I answered for Lin Yi in my heart, why else, Lin Yi was still a black household not long ago, and he can recite the complete core values of socialism?

Back in the rental house, standing in the light again, even I couldn't help but let out a long breath, and my tense muscles relaxed.

As soon as Lin Yi entered the door, he shouted: "Borrow a bathroom for use." ”

The girl pointed in a direction, Lin Yi rushed there in a hurry, and before he stepped into the bathroom, he heard Lin Yi shout at the top of his voice: "What am I going to do here?" ”

I jerked my head back, my eyes fell to the ground, and my heart chuckled, like a bucket of ice water poured over my head, and even the cracks of my bones were cold all over my body.

A puddle of liquid slowly seeped out from under the door panels, slowly flowing along the cracks in the tiles, the bright red color stinging everyone's eyes.

"Is this blood?" Lin Yi squatted down and reached out to touch it, put his finger stained with blood-red liquid under his nose and sniffed, and turned his head to look at me in surprise.

I pushed away the girl who was in front of me, strode past Lin Yi, and quickly entered the bathroom, almost hitting a knife head-on, but fortunately I was good, and I reacted quickly and forcibly turned my body sideways, narrowly avoiding the tip of the knife that stabbed me head-on.

The sharp blade grazed my earlobe and stabbed into the door, and the hands holding the knife pulled back hard, slowly closing in on me.

I raised my hands and stepped back cautiously, keeping a safe distance, trying to keep my tone as gentle and calm as possible: "Don't get excited...... We've met, haven't we? I'm He Yang, do you remember me, Sakura-chan? ”

That's right, it was Sakura who was hiding in the bathroom and almost stabbed me.

At this point, I had almost connected the dots and pieced together the general direction of the situation, Sakura's roommate went downstairs to pick us up, I don't know why, maybe it was a notice, maybe it was some other reason, just as we were going upstairs, Sakura suddenly woke up from her sleep, she neither went downstairs nor went upstairs, but hid in the bathroom.

The black shadow that I accidentally caught glimpsing as I passed the corner of the stairs just now must have been Sakura-chan.

He Yang ...... He Yang? Sakura's expression was frenzied, her hands clutching the hilt of her sword, several cuts on her left wrist, blood dripping down her arm and onto the floor.

Was she self-harming just now?

"Who is He Yang?" Sakura's eyes rolled in a dull half circle.

"Sakura-chan!" Sakura's roommate covered her mouth and screamed, and the high-pitched female voice pierced her ear like an awl.

"Shut up!"

This sentence is a trio, I kept my eyes on Sakura, and I didn't look back and snorted, Wang Qiuyue reached out and covered Sakura's roommate's mouth while unceremoniously reprimanding, and the third person to say these two words was Sakura.

Sakura's expression became more and more frenzied, waving her knife and bowing her back slightly, it was a very insecure posture, in her subconscious we were all enemies, and she was under a very serious threat.

"You're here to get me, aren't you? Are you here to arrest me? I'll tell you......" Sakura's voice suddenly became mysterious, her expression was very nervous, and her every move made people feel that her current mental state was very wrong.

I've kept an eye on the fact that there are many suspects who try to disguise that they are mentally ill to escape or mitigate legal punishment, and I can't directly judge Sakura's mental state just by looking at her current performance.

"What are you going to tell us?" I always communicated with her in a gentle and calm tone, trying to get her to put down the knife: "Why don't we sit down and talk?" ”

"Can't sit." Sakura shook her head so hard that I couldn't help but worry that she was shaking herself out.

"Okay, don't sit down, what do you want to say?"

"There is a ghost...... Sakura looked left and right in a panic, I followed her gaze, there was nothing unusual in my gaze, but Sakura clenched the knife as if she had seen something, and shouted hoarsely at the corner.

"Let's go! There you go! I didn't hurt you! It's not me who hurts you, it's not me! ”

"Calm down......"

Sakura suddenly turned her head, her eyes lit up unusually well: "I remember, you are He Yang." ”

"Yes, I'm He Yang."

I gave Wang Qiuyue and Lin Yi a look, and while I attracted Sakura's attention, the two of them quietly spread out to the left and right, slowly approaching Sakura.
