Chapter 314: Is There Anyone in the Attic?

The reason why I came to the front of this shop just now, in fact, I didn't find anything strange, but my intuition told me that something was not quite right here.

Sure enough, he had just squatted down now, so he only glanced at the guy who looked like the boss inside, and was about to tell the other guys to leave.

Isn't this a pure ghost in the heart?

But even if they have ghosts in their hearts, they actually look similar to other people they see on the road.

Under this similarity, there is a little bit of a different feeling.

But if you really want to say it yourself, it's a little hard to say what's the difference?

Xie Chen sighed, continued to pretend to touch the fishing rod in front of him, and even held it directly in his hand.

Then he looked around and found that there were no surveillance cameras outside.

If you look at it from other stores, you can still find it, and it stands to reason that it is not the same as here.

In such a big store, even put things outside, but not even a camera, obviously a bit too much.

After Xie Chen picked up the fishing rod in front of him, he continued to squat and did not stand up.

The guy inside is gone, at least from the angle of his squatting, he can't see anyone at all.

It's as if no one cares about the goods outside, and I feel like I've become the owner of this shop.

"It's outrageous......"

Xie Chen gently put the fishing rod down again, although he had such an idea in his mind, but he didn't say it.

Since you can't see anyone in this position, it's a big deal to change the position yourself.

Xie Chen pretended to pick up the goods, obviously not very satisfied with the quality of the fishing rod, and then went to the side to look at some spinach in the box on the side.

This spinach looks a little too green, at least I've never seen it so green in reality.

And there wasn't even a single dead leaf.

The sun is shining on it, if these dishes are not just pulled out, then these dishes are pulled out at nine o'clock, and they are now more than half past twelve, and these dishes can still remain so green.

It's a bit of a stretch......

Xie Chen bent down and picked up one of the bundles, only to find that the thing felt a little different.

Although there are a lot of water droplets on it, the touch is very different from the normal dish.

Xie Chen frowned and shook it, and found that the young leaves in front of him were not so tender, but even the shaking appearance was very rigid.

With some doubts in his heart, he immediately stretched out his fingers and pinched one of the green leaves, and then gently pulled it up.

This green leaf didn't move at all, even if he used the strength that he could already pull out ten green leaves, he still pulled the leaf a bit.

"This thing is actually plastic......"

Xie Chen was shocked, he never expected that this thing looked almost the same as normal spinach, but it was actually plastic to the touch.

If you don't get started, you won't be able to find out the clues.

"If this thing were plastic......

Xie Chen frowned as he spoke, looked at the dishes next to him, and turned his head to pick up the pea closest to him with his hand.

Each pod is very tender, and it is no different from a normal pea to the touch, but Xie Chen broke this thing hard, only to find that there was no way to break the so-called pea pod.

Although it is very crisp and tender to the touch, and it is not even different from a normal pea pod, as soon as you break it, the real material of this thing is immediately revealed.

As I imagined, this thing and the spinach in front of it are also plastic.

In this comparison, the fishing rod next to it looks more realistic.

I didn't expect that in a store with such a large pretending size, all the things outside were made of plastic.

And if you don't get your hands on this thing, it's even to the point where it can be faked.

In fact, at the end of the day, these peddling things are more like props that can be used in the movie props group.

But since it is close to the area where residents live, instead of selling something that can be eaten, but selling something with a particularly small audience, won't it reduce a lot of income?

Although I don't know the specific motive, I obviously can't figure it out myself.

If you want to find out, you may have to go inside the store.

Xie Chen squinted his eyes slightly, and slowly approached the store, if he just said that he was outside the door of the store, now he was standing in front of the door of the store.

Speaking more closely, he is already standing on the threshold.

Before the head of the Xie dust reached inside, he smelled a particularly strong and unpleasant smell.

I can't describe the smell, it's like the smell of things piled up on a particularly damp ground for too long.

Xie Chen hurriedly retracted his head, breathed in the fresh air outside, and the moment he put his head in, he even felt a little like vomiting.

I had rarely smelled this smell, and even if I stood on the threshold and made a sound, I didn't see the people before me appearing in front of me.

"Where have all the people gone?"

Xie Chen took a step or two back, stood there and continued to look inside.

The wind outside wasn't light, but it was also very strange.

It stands to reason that when the wind is blowing outside, the smell inside the store should be so strong that it will disperse a lot, and a lot of it should be blown out of the store.

But now I didn't smell anything, but only took a step or two back.

The threshold under your feet is like a dividing line, as if you can completely cut off the smell by withdrawing yourself.

But if that were the case, it would be outrageous.

Xie Chen slowed down and leaned to the right, because in his field of vision, the left direction of the store was already full of goods, all of which were white foam boxes.

When I was pretending to be outside to pick out fishing gear, the people inside were all walking towards the inside of the shop and to the right.

And one of them squatting, when he stood up, dragged away a foam box on the ground with his hands.

I didn't know what was inside, only the word "river shrimp" written in red pen on the outside of the foam box, and only those few people knew whether it was river shrimp or not.

In my own opinion, the person who is holding a black plastic bag and looks like a shopkeeper should not be simple.

As for the other people who were squatting on the ground and surrounding the white foam box, it was even more difficult.

Although I didn't see the faces of those people, judging from the face of the guy who looked like a boss, it was already clearly different from those pedestrians outside.

I haven't even gotten close to Big Ben yet, and such a strange thing has happened.

It would have been nice if I walked over and ignored it before, but the main thing is that now I have stopped, and I feel uncomfortable pretending not to know.

This reminded me of the queues I had just ignored because I wanted to hurry up.

In fact, there is still a distance between the two stores, but without exception, there are no signs, and I don't know what is sold inside?

The only similarities are that there are customers who have been squeezed out, but those are no different from pedestrians driving on the road.

I remember very clearly, even if I got closer at that time, I couldn't see the facial features of those people clearly, and the first thing I could see clearly was only those eyes.

Xie Chen touched his head slightly, thinking back to the time when he passed by the two shops before, did he find anything similar or abnormal?

It's just that I walked quickly, and I don't have many impressions that can remain in my mind, and now I can't remember anything just by recalling.

Now the shops in front of me haven't been solved, and it's a bit unrealistic to rush back to see those two stores.

The reason why I didn't think about stopping and observing was because when I went in to eat burgers and Coke, I felt that I couldn't get useful information from a movie theater like that.

And now I focus on Big Ben, and I don't want to waste too much time in other places.

"I knew I didn't feel so good about myself......"

Xie Chen couldn't help but complain.

But now I don't give myself time to regret it, and I quickly solve the matter in front of me, which is the right thing.

Xie Chen propped up the door next to him with his hand, and then slowly pulled down, and there was a recessed hole underneath, and a knife was placed inside.

It looks sharper than the one hanging around his waist, and he can hold two weapons in his hand, and he can also protect them a little more.

I don't know how many of them are enemies, but if they are all of them, even if they have to rely on their pocket watches, there are uncertainties.

There is also a buckle next to Xie Chen's clothes, and in the inner part, after the knife is put in, it just won't be particularly obvious.

Before coming to the threshold again, Xie Chen pulled up his clothes and covered the front of his nose, and after stepping on it, it was able to relieve the unpleasant smell a little.

It's just that I keep smelling this smell, and I still feel a little like vomiting in my ability, and even the vision of my eyes has become a little blurred.

It's not particularly serious, but it does affect the vision a bit.

Xie Chen reached out and pinched his arm, relying on the pain to try to make himself more awake, but fortunately, it did have some effect.

There is definitely a strange power in this unpleasant smell, otherwise it would have been drugged.

Otherwise, just smelling this unpleasant smell, your body will not have such a negative effect.

As soon as I stepped on the floor of this shop, the disgusting smell became even stronger, as if I was consciously attacking myself, and I would never stop until I put myself down.

Xie Chen had to raise a hand to help cover his mouth and nose, so he covered it tighter, and the smell was slightly relieved.

"Is this dead something?"

Xie Chen's brows were furrowed, and the whole person looked very uncomfortable.

But even when I entered the store, I still didn't find anything.

There were no people sitting on the coffee table in front of them, and the boxes stacked on the side couldn't hide people at all.

Although there may be one or two empty seats in the back and hide inside, there are four people in total, and these boxes are all nailed with nails, and if you want to pry these nails open, it is not a small movement.

Xie Chen slowly approached the coffee table in front of him, and normally, it was possible that everyone had hidden under the chairs.

But when I looked down, I still didn't see a single figure.

Xie Chen turned his head to look around, and finally found a ladder lying vertically on the side of the stacked boxes.

The ladder leads to the attic on the second floor.

It's just that I'm a little puzzled, according to the specifications of such a building, why is there such a thing as an attic?

Generally, it is necessary to build an attic either in that castle style, or in an older single-storey house.

With direct access to the second floor, there is no need to lower the height and space of the first floor to create an attic.

Xie Chen pursed his lips and slowly walked forward.

After slowing down, I didn't make any sound, and I came to the bottom of this attic.

Of course, the main thing is the ladder, except for the leaking opening, I can't see the inside of the attic.

If someone is on guard now, and the confidant crawls halfway to the side and is smashed down by someone, then it is a dog.

In the end, I still didn't want this to happen, so I didn't rush to take action, but just stood below and watched the movement above.

For some reason, after reaching the bottom of the attic, the unpleasant smell was significantly lessened, and it was no longer as obvious as it was at the beginning.

I also felt a little better, and I didn't have to cover my nose with my other hand the whole time.

As he quieted down, he no longer had to take his steps lightly, and he was able to distract himself from his excess energy and listen to the sounds around him.

It's a pity that I didn't have much gain, even if I was standing at the bottom of the attic, I couldn't hear any sound coming from inside the attic.

The staircase of this building is on the left, which is where you can see it clearly just by standing in the doorway.

I can be 100% sure that the four people are walking to the right, and it is impossible to run to the stairs on the left, but it is difficult to judge the current situation.
