"Your house is on several floors, if you are afraid, you can go back first."

Jiang Bai looked back at Yan Xiyue with a slightly frightened look and said, "Don't force it." ”

"It's okay, I can do it."

Yan Xiyue settled down as she spoke, and began to lead the way.

There were no lights in the entire stairwell, and the two could only rely on the lights of their mobile phones to shine all the way up.

Along the road, Jiang Bai constantly observed the building.

The walls of the staircase were covered with all kinds of wires, as if they had not been prepared to bury the wires, and they could only be exposed in the face of the ever-increasing number of wires.

Walking up to the seventh floor, 703 is Yan Xiyue's home.

"Can you go up there?"

Jiang Bai saw that there was an upper half of the ladder on the side of 703, and there seemed to be a roof along it.

"I haven't tried, I should be able to."

Yan Xiyue explained, "It seems that many workers used to install solar water heaters and went up from here. ”

"Yes, open the door."

Jiang Bai nodded and watched Yan Xiyue take out the key.

"Huh?"

After Yan Xiyue inserted the key, she rotated it slightly, and the door made a click, "The door is open?" ”

Jiang Bai stepped forward to check the lock, and the lock of this old-fashioned door has a manual jamming bolt function, so that the door can be directly pushed open.

After gently rotating with the key, it will return to the normal latch state, which is Yan Xiyue's state just now.

Opening the door, Jiang Bai used the light of his mobile phone to shine on the position of the door lock.

The news reports he saw, including the information given by Zhao Zhongxiang before, showed that the key was inside and the door was locked.

From a "physical point of view" this is a secret room, and from a motive point of view, they owe usury, and it is only in this that Yan Xiyue's parents are judged to have committed suicide.

There are no corpses or gas canisters left, but everything is basically in the same position as before.

"I've been found by loan sharks since my parents had an accident."

Yan Xiyue spoke, "I promised that I would do odd jobs every month to find a way to repay the money." ”

She explained and touched the scene.

Jiang Bai saw that Yan Xiyue hadn't finished speaking, so he leaned aside and sobbed quietly.

"It's okay, it's all over."

He walked up to Yan Xiyue and patted her on the shoulder.

Then Jiang Bai looked around the house, one side facing the street, and the other side was the direction of the other buildings in the community.

In other words, if someone climbs out of bed, they will definitely be seen.

It was not found at the time, and it was determined that it was a suicide, which means that the windows here are either closed or no one comes out.

"It may be a little cruel, may I ask where your parents fell and where the gas canister is?"

Jiang Bai looked at Yan Xiyue, who was still sobbing, hesitated for a while, and finally asked.

"Well, you wait, I'll think about it."

Yan Xiyue wiped away her tears and slowly eased up and said, "Mom and Dad are on the table in the living room, about this position, and then the gas tank is under the table." ”

She made a gesture to Jiang Bai while reminiscing.

Jiang Bai followed Yan Xiyue's explanation, and the "scene reappeared" in his mind.

Close all doors and windows, lock the doors, and turn on the gas.

At this point, the process is exactly the same as suicide, and the next question is how the murderer can escape.

Just as Yan Xiyue's parents had lost their ability to resist and were placed in front of the table at that time, they also had to consider how they locked the door and went out.

"Are you sure you're the only one with the key and not inside?"

Jiang Bai opened his mouth, because he remembered that Zhao Zhongxiang and those gossip reports mentioned that the owner's key was in his pocket.

Under this kind of absolute secret room, there is no problem for ordinary team members to commit suicide.

"This ...... I'm not sure, because we must have had quite a few former tenants when we rented here. ”

Yan Xiyue shook her head as she spoke, "But the landlord made sure that he gave us all the keys." ”

"Where were you at the time of the crime?"

Jiang Bai said, "It was about four days before the body was found. ”

"I remember when I was still at school, I received a text message from my parents telling me to go get some clothes for the winter."

Yan Xiyue said and took out her mobile phone to confirm the chat history to Jiang Bai.

It was indeed that day, and Yan Xiyue also made it clear that she would come back this weekend, and she would have to work.

"Is it possible that a loan shark is here to collect debts? That day was exactly the time to pay off the debt. ”

Yan Xiyue also helped think together.

"It's impossible, you're paying back the money yourself, and it's too late for the loan sharks to be happy. There was no motive for the killing. ”

Jiang Bai shook his head, "By the way, after your parents had an accident, did the loan sharks come to you?" ”

"Yes, they asked me where I was at the time of the crime and something."

"Then it's not them."

Jiang Bai said and then asked, "Did they ask you to pay back?" ”

"Yes, they said it would be as long as it was a third of it. But I'm working less than a third of the way at all. ”

"Hmm."

Jiang Bai nodded while talking about all the clues now.

If this matter was also investigated by usury before, it means that it was unexpected by usury. Then why did you let Yan Xiyue pay back one-third?

It's not like usury.

According to the routine, Yan Xiyue should be returned in full, and it will be profitable, and in the end, Yan Xiyue will not be arrested.

In the end, Yan Xiyue disappeared, and then she may appear in some other special places.

One-third, indicating that the money was collected.

Or maybe they know something.

"How's it going?"

Yan Xiyue was a little worried when she saw Jiang Bai's long silence.

Although it used to be her home, it is now eerie and terrifying, and it is not a place to stay for long!

Suddenly, some grumbling screams came from the doorway, accompanied by the sound of Sasha moving.

Yan Xiyue was so frightened that she hid behind Jiang Bai and peeked at the door from his shoulder.

Jiang Bai also turned to the door, and from the footsteps of Sasha just now, he could tell that someone was pretending to be a ghost.

As the voice got closer and closer, Yan Xiyue's whole body hugged Jiang Bai's right arm.

"Don't be afraid."

Jiang Bai patted Yan Xiyue's shoulder with his left hand, "It's human." ”

Yan Xiyue is a girl after all, and she is still afraid of these. She looked at Jiang Bai without fear, and actually stepped forward to open the door instead.

"Come out!"

Jiang Bai shouted angrily, and the mobile phone was gone, and it turned out to be Du Yiheng and He Dazhuang.

"How did you get here?"

"We're going to ask you more! Visiting a haunted house at night, and taking your sister with you, what do you have to do? ”

Du Yiheng spoke, "You still say it's just a friend?" ”

"Jiang Bai, we have such a good relationship, there is no shame in you directly saying it."

He Dazhuang spoke, "To be honest, this girl is also quite beautiful." ”

As she was talking, Yan Xiyue suddenly let go of Jiang Bai, her face flushed a little. However, the mobile phone light did not shine, and no one found it.

"This is her house, we are investigating the case, I said I just promised to help her investigate the case, that's all."

Jiang Bai said calmly, "It's how did you two come over?" ”
