Chapter 288: What About People?
Click.
As the door opened, the pitch-black room came into view.
Compared to the grocery room next door, the light in this room is much darker.
It's just that in comparison, this room doesn't have as much dust as the utility room.
At least for now, this room should be the same as my own bedroom, usually occupied.
Although the light is dim, you can still see the layout of this room.
A bed, and it is a spring mattress, and there is a sponge mattress on it, which I can see at a glance.
In contrast, the solid wood bed in the next bedroom really didn't want to sleep.
Xie Chen slowed down and walked into this room vigilantly, not daring to put down the knife in his hand for a moment.
After all, the movement of the small wooden box is real, and the most likely thing is that the guy is hiding in this room, so he has to be careful.
"People, don't hide......"
"Come out quickly, it's boring to hide and hide, you have the ability to come out and pull it all the time, and now you don't dare to show your face?"
Xie Chen lowered his tone and said coldly.
But in this room there was nothing but his own voice.
Xie Chen glanced at the wiring on the wall with a little distraction, and there was a light switch next to the door.
After turning on the light, the whole room went from dim to transparent, at least much brighter than the small broken table lamp in the bedroom at the beginning.
In this moment of alternating light and dark, Xie Chen increased his vigilance even more, for fear that the guy hiding in the dark part of this room would suddenly burst out and fight with himself.
There are also two wardrobes in this room, and if the clothes inside are taken out, there is no problem at all to hide in one person, or even two people can easily hide in it.
Xie Chen did not rush to the two wardrobes to inspect, but took the lead in half-lying at the door, and took the first step to check whether there was anyone hiding under the bed.
Such a big bed, plus the gap between the beds, is almost more than 20 centimeters, although the sheets hang down and cover most of them, but I can still see it.
"No one?"
Xie Chen muttered, and immediately got up again with a knife.
To tell the truth, his appearance is more like a gangster with a knife to break into the house.
After confirming that there was no one under the bed, Xie Chen breathed a sigh of relief.
Then only the two wardrobes in front of you remain.
I had just taken two steps forward and stood on the edge of the bed, but I felt that something was wrong.
That's not right.
This bed has two pillows and a sheet quilt, and if you really want to compare, it doesn't match the rule in your bedroom.
[Before getting ready to sleep, remember to see how many pillows there are on the bed, you are home alone, one pillow is enough, please put away the other extra pillows. 】
The scene in front of me now, I'm not sure if this is my bedroom.
The bedroom you sleep in may not be, but it may be.........
"So should this pillow be put away......
Xie Chen hesitated and looked at the door behind him, the door of this room was intact, unlike that bedroom, even the door was half rotten and would fall down at any time.
If you want to sleep in this room, you don't need to think about fixing the door.
But what I'm afraid of is that I slept in the wrong room......
Xie Chen still had a headache about this, but at this moment, a strange and ethereal voice came from outside the door.
"Xie Chen...... Where are you? ”
“!!?”
This sentence was naturally heard by Xie Chen, a bit like an old man shouting to himself.
I only felt familiar and unfamiliar, as if I had heard such a voice in my memory.
But because of that ethereal tone, I couldn't think of it for a while.
"Who's there?!"
Xie Chen asked suddenly, not slowing down because of the hesitation in his heart.
But if you ask yourself, you still stand still and stay still, if you are in a hurry to take measures at this time, it is easy to be led into the ditch.
I don't know if there's a guy out there waiting for the rabbit.
"And ......"
Xie Chen turned his gaze to the two wardrobes in the room.
I had just finished screening the place under the bed, and was just about to go to see if there was anyone hiding in the two wardrobes, when a voice came from outside, and it was still my name.
This makes me even more suspicious of these two wardrobes.
Xie Chen relaxed his body and mind, tried to calm down his brain, and did not have too many doubts and nervousness.
It's easy to mislead your current judgment, and the most important thing is to see who is doing the blame?
"The sound actually came from outside, or it could be some means, not necessarily the sound of the human mouth."
Xie Chen muttered.
It's true, after all, the voice I just heard was a little confused.
It is not excluded that it is transmitted through the manipulation of signal sensors and the like, and then through some specific walkie-talkies.
And it is also possible that some kind of recording equipment, after moving something in this room, then triggered the switch that was originally set.
Although my brain hole is too big, in fact, these things are not impossible.
Xie Chen continued to walk towards the two wardrobes, the knife in his hand did not put down, and then worriedly, opened the first wardrobe in front of him.
When the contents of the wardrobe are exposed in front of you, you find that there are only some well-fitting shirts, and they are all clean and tidy.
These shirts are all white, and apart from this solid shirt, there are no patterns on them, and there are no other colors.
"How can there be so many clothes?"
Xie Chen muttered to himself.
If you have a lot of clothes in your closet, it's no exception, but there are too many of the same clothes, which makes people feel strange.
And these clothes are all brand new, and I basically don't see how many times I have worn them.
These solid colors and unpatterned clothes don't seem to have any collection value, why are there so many of them all stuffed in this wardrobe?
There must be at least about 30 of them, all of which are hung in the middle of the wardrobe on hangers.
On the wardrobe platform below, there are several books and several pairs of shoes.
The books are all old books, and the covers of several of them can already be seen to be old.
But the shoes are all new, and the labels haven't been removed, the labels on each pair are still hanging fresh, and the foam in the shoes is still stuffed.
"What kind of quirk is this?"
Xie Chen looked vigilant, not daring to have the slightest relaxation.
At this time, there was no sound outside the door, even the voice that had just called his name seemed to be a hallucination.
Xie Chen shook his head, bringing himself back to his senses, and then, quickly rummaging through the shirts and shoes, looking for anything he had missed.
Unfortunately, there is still no result, there is no hidden compartment in this closet, and there is nothing hidden in these clothes and shoes.
If you really have something hidden, you can always get something by touching and pulling it yourself.
In addition, there are those old books, and even the pages are a little yellowed, but I can't find any information in these books.
"That's weird..."
"It shouldn't be like this......"
Xie Chen looked at the wardrobe next to him vigilantly, and even held his breath involuntarily.
It seems that there is a big living person hidden in this closet, and even for fear that he will make a little big move, this guy will come out of it.
Xie Chen pretended to pick up a book and flipped through it, and even deliberately increased the sound of flipping through the book, if someone was really hiding in the closet, he should be able to hear it.
Xie Chen's footsteps were very light, and his approach should not attract attention, after all, he didn't even make a sound.
The closet that had not yet been screened was tightly closed, and even if there were people hiding inside, it was absolutely impossible to observe the situation outside.
So it's definitely the safest thing to do now.
Xie Chen continued to raise the sound of flipping through the book, but he didn't speak.
Now, at such a distance, the guy in this cabinet can definitely sense that he is slowly approaching the closet he is in.
So it's better to be on the safe side, and you don't want to make mistakes at this critical juncture.
Although flipping through the book, Xie Chen still held the knife in his hand tightly, and did not dare to slack off in the slightest.
When I approached this wardrobe and opened it suddenly, I found that this wardrobe was empty, and compared with the wardrobe just now, it can be described as "poor".
Even if you leave a mouse or a spider in it, you probably won't be happy to build a nest here.
"What's going on?"
Xie Chen looked surprised, and put his hands on this wardrobe in disbelief, but it was really empty, and even after pulling out the small cabinet in the middle, he didn't find anything hidden inside.
Xie Chen gritted his teeth very reluctantly, he couldn't believe it.
The two places in this room where people are most likely to be hidden are actually not hidden.
But what's going on with the movement of the wooden box outside?
Could it be that it will grow its legs and run away on its own?
Xie Chen hurriedly circled around the two wardrobes, and even thought about moving one of them forward and pulling it out of the back wall to see if there were any hidden grids or something, maybe he might be hiding from someone.
But nothing was found.
Smack!
Another sound came from outside the door, the sound of a small wooden box falling to the ground.
