"The respondent is not in the corridor on the fourth floor, he must be hiding in a room, and he is probably also keeping an eye on the surroundings."
"This guy doesn't dare to play tricks, and his style of doing things is weird. I have to be more cautious."
Chen Ge didn't know if the respondent had obtained information about him from the middle-aged man, and he couldn't care about that much. He thought that while the respondent didn't move now, he quickly went to see Miss Hong, and tried to find as many helpers as possible.
With the help of the lady in the skirt, Chen Ge came to the corner of the stairs on the fourth and fifth floors. There was a faint smell in the air, and there were some water marks under the shoes.
"Why did it stop suddenly?" Chen Ge asked in a low voice. He was walking up, but the lady in the skirt who was supporting his arm suddenly stopped moving.
Chen Ge couldn't see anything, and when he noticed the abnormality of the lady in the skirt, he immediately became nervous.
I could hear the girl's singing faintly in my ears, like it came from a broken music box, intermittently, the sound was so strange that it was indescribable.
"Is anyone here? Go to the fifth floor first, don't stay here!" Chen Ge had a very bad premonition. He could tell that the singing came from the fifth floor, and he was very worried that the sound would make the respondent Come over.
"There was a person on the fifth floor just now, and there was no sound when walking." The lady in the skirt said in a strange tone, "Did I read it wrong?"
"Wait a minute! A music box? A girl's singing? A figure walking without a sound? Isn't it Yingtong that you saw just now?" Chen Ge knew that in reality, there was a broken music box on the table in Yingtong's bedroom.
"Then do we want to chase?" the woman asked.
"No, it's not quite right." Chen Ge's fingers gripping the backpack became stronger and stronger: "If I were Ying Tong, I would definitely not let the music box make a sound when I ran away. Isn't this intentionally revealing my position?"
"It is also possible that he accidentally touched the music box, causing the music box to suddenly sound."
"I've been to Ying Chen's house. At that time, the music box was placed in Ying Tong's bedroom. If Ying Tong didn't go home, the person holding the music box must not be Ying Tong!" Chen Ge broke out in cold sweat: "Lou There is another person inside helping Ying Chen! He is walking around with a music box to attract attention! That bastard may have guessed that someone else is looking for Ying Tong!"
The minister is very smart, but Chen Ge is also very keen, and both parties can find problems from the smallest details.
"Do you know who in this building has a particularly good relationship with the respondent? Is it the kind of person who the respondent can trust unconditionally?"
"There are many households who have a good relationship with Yingchen. By the way, Yingchen is very popular with children, and children are willing to play with him."
"Like children?"
"Well, the courtier has a good personality. He also likes to play games with the children, and occasionally buys some toys and candy for the children."
"Is the figure that passed by just now a child?"
"It's a bit like, I'm very short, and I don't make a sound when I walk. I almost thought I saw it wrong." The woman sighed, and she slowly realized that the residential building tonight was different from usual: "We still have to go to the sixth building?"
"Of course I'm going, but pay attention when you pass by the fifth floor to see if there are other people in the corridor." Chen Ge crouched down and touched the water stain on the ground: "The water stain is about to dry, it doesn't seem like it should be The water that the minister deliberately sprinkled was used to keep the shoe prints."
"You're too careful, maybe Aunt Wu just cleaned it."
"How can you be sure that Aunt Wu cleaned it?" Chen Ge heard a new name from the woman's mouth - Aunt Wu.
"She is the cleaner of our building and is very responsible. She cleans the entire building every morning and night." The lady in skirt said casually, "You wouldn't suspect that Aunt Wu was helping the minister, would you?"
Chen Ge didn't speak, he was thinking of another thing in his mind.
Although the community where Ying Chen and Ying Tong live is very dilapidated now, it was the most luxurious community in the old city many years ago. This can be seen from the fact that the building was equipped with elevators so early.
Aunt Wu is specially responsible for cleaning the building. This is not a big deal. The problem is that she also appeared in the world behind Ying Tong's door. This cleaning may have been killed by Ying Tong in reality, just like Ms. Skirt and Mr. Wood.
But there is another possibility. Aunt Wu may have done something to Tong, which caused him to have a deep memory.
There were many speculations in Chen Ge's mind that Aunt Wu might have helped Ying Tong escape, or that Aunt Wu might have been the one who tipped off Ying Chen.
"How is the relationship between Aunt Wu and the minister?"
"Very bad, Aunt Wu often quarrels with Ying Chen. She hates cats, and feels that Ying Tong always picks up some dirty stray cats, which increases her workload for cleaning." The woman added after a while: " By the way, during a private chat, Aunt Wu said that the respondent had a sour smell, like cat meat that had been left for a long time."
The brain was running fast, and Chen Ge connected the known information in series, "This place has just been cleaned, which means that Aunt Wu has been here before. Followed by Aunt Wu, the short figure with a music box appeared, and the music box was in the respondent. At home, I guess Yingchen asked that short figure to test Aunt Wu with a music box, and Yingchen suspected that the person who entered his house was Aunt Wu!"
"Although I don't understand it very well, I think what you said seems to make sense." The lady in the skirt found that Chen Ge's words were very organized, at least at first glance.
"Yingchen doesn't know my existence, and he will suspect that Aunt Wu is normal." The world behind the door is woven from Ying Tong's memory. The rules of this world are Ying Tong's memory, and Ying Tong can use it if he wants to escape. There are only those people and things in memory, but on this day Chen Ge entered the world behind the door, and he was the only exception.
The two sides had already reached the fifth floor when they communicated, and the ground here was a little slippery. Aunt Wu had just cleaned it.
"No one is in the corridor on the fifth floor, shall we go to the sixth floor?"
"Don't worry, see if there are any shoe prints on the ground, and look carefully." Chen Ge's body was close to the wall. Now he has basically adapted to the darkness and overcome the physical discomfort.
"Shoe prints?" The woman let go of Chen Ge's arm, and she seemed to enter the corridor to take a look: "It's really there!"
"Be quiet, how many people's shoe prints are on the ground?"
"This kind of shoe print should belong to Aunt Wu. She likes to wear cloth shoes. Another kind of shoe print on sandals may belong to the children in the building."
"Looks like we guessed right, look at the direction of the toe of the shoe print and judge where they went." Chen Ge couldn't see it, he could only rely on the lady in the skirt for help.
"Aunt Wu has a lot of shoe prints. She seems to have been wandering around the door of the cleaning cabinet for a long time. She should be picking up tools. In addition, the shoe print on the sandal is always facing in one direction. The owner of the shoe print should be behind Aunt Wu." The woman said After finishing, he added: "There is no one on the fifth floor now, will they go to the sixth floor?"
"Wandering around the cleaning cabinet? Normally, aren't the utility rooms for the cleaning staff on the first floor? Would it be inconvenient to put their cleaning tools on the fifth floor?" Chen Ge recalled going to Yingchen's house. scene, he had the impression that there was no cleaning cabinet on the fifth floor.
"The developer seems to be preparing to build a model community, so that the property has prepared a cleaning cabinet for the owners of each floor, which is equipped with daily cleaning tools, as well as ropes and fire fighting equipment."
"It sounds fine, but why does Aunt Wu stay in front of the cleaning cabinet on the fifth floor." Chen Ge grabbed the woman's arm: "Is that cleaning cabinet locked?"
"No."
"Go over and open the cabinet door. I suspect that Aunt Wu may be hiding something in the cleaning cabinet."
The woman helped Chen Ge to the side of the cleaning cabinet, and she gently tugged at the cabinet door: "Huh?"
"What's wrong?"
"Can't open it, it seems like something is stuck inside."
"You can't open it without locking it?" Chen Ge suddenly thought of something, and he whispered into the cleaning cabinet: "Ying Tong? Are you in there? I know your brother is a perverted murderer, and he likes to abuse cats. I'm here to help you escape from this building!"
"What are you talking about in the air?" Just as the lady in the skirt finished saying this, there was a sudden sound from the cleaning cabinet, as if someone had removed something from the top door: "Who's inside?"
The cabinet door opened, and the lady in the skirt took a breath.
"What did you see? Tell me about it?" Chen Ge urged in a low voice.
"Ying, Yingtong shrank in the cabinet! How could he hide here!" The woman was very surprised, and her voice became a little louder.
"Ying Tong?" Although Chen Ge was mentally prepared, he knew that Ying Tong must be hiding somewhere in this building, but he never expected to meet him so early: "It seems that I am lucky this time."
"Who are you...? Did Aunt Wu tell you that I was here?" Ying Tong's voice was a little numb, like a robot, without the slightest emotion.
"I'm here to help you leave. I know your brother's true face, and he will definitely be punished." Chen Ge took a step forward, his hand touched Ying Tong's shoulder, and he used his finger Gently stroked Ying Tong's face, her fingertips touched the uneven scar.
"Do I look terrible?" Ying Tong's voice came from in front of Chen Ge.
"I'm blind and can't see your face, but I know you have a strong and kind heart and a very smart and calm brain."
Ordinary children would have gone crazy when they encountered Ying Tong, but Ying Tong did not. He was always looking for an opportunity to escape and never gave up.
Although the two brothers have very different personalities, they are very smart, and to a certain extent, it can be said that both of them are terrible.
Chen Ge remembered Ying Tong's appearance, and in order to gain Ying Tong's trust, he grabbed Ying Tong's hand and put it on his face: "My name is Chen Ge, from now on, you are no longer alone. Whatever the result, I will always be with you."
No one has ever said this to Ying Tong. Aunt Wu should be helping Ying Tong secretly, but she didn't dare to give Ying Tong any guarantee.
Chen Ge touched Ying Tong's face with both hands, and also touched what Ying Tong was holding in his hands. The child was carrying a large bag with a ball in it and something like a flashlight.
"What's in your bag?"
"Aunt Wu didn't believe what I said, so I took something to show her, and she believed it."
"what?"
"A football made by a brother."
There was a rustling sound in his ears, Ying Tong opened the bag, and the lady in the skirt looked into the bag curiously.
"Head!"
Fear ran through her heart, and the lady in the skirt was frightened for a moment, and her voice was a little loud.
"Keep your voice down! We can't stay here anymore, go to the sixth floor immediately! Let Ying Tong meet Ah Ying!" All Chen Ge's guesses could be proven when Ying Tong met Ah Ying, and he can't wait now. .
The lady in skirt supported Chen Ge and Ying Tong from left to right, and the three of them re-entered the corridor, but when they reached the corner of the fifth and sixth floors, the old elevator on the floor suddenly made a noise.
"The elevator has started! Someone took the elevator upstairs! Is it because the courtier heard the sound?"
The word "head" is too clear, and Chen Ge is a little worried now.
He stopped, his face gradually became ugly, the elevator stopped on the fifth floor, and then a faint cat meowing sounded.
"It's the respondent!"
The cat's meow didn't get louder in an instant. The respondent should still be near the elevator, but it is certain that he has reached the fifth floor.
"hurry up."
It's easy for three people to make noises together, but Chen Ge has no better way now, so he can only stay away as much as possible.
"Go to Miss Hong's house, go ahead and hide in her house!"
The cat's meow has not changed. The lady in skirt helped Ying Tong and Chen Ge to the sixth floor, and they stopped in front of Miss Hong's room.
"Don't knock on the door to prevent any noise. Call or text her and ask her to open the door."
"But I didn't bring my cell phone."
When the two were talking, the voice of a girl singing came from the corridor on the other side, and the man with the broken music box went upstairs!
Cat meows can warn the courtier, but it can't warn others. There is a courtier's helper in the building, which is a very bad thing for Chen Ge who can't see anything.
"How to do?"
Time is short, there is a 50% chance that the knock on the door will attract the respondent. If Miss Hong opens the door slowly, Chen Ge and the others are likely to be caught by the respondent, and the respondent's helper is also going here. side walk.
"Go back to the corridor on the left first." The plan had to be changed. When Chen Ge and the others were walking into the corridor on the left, the cat meowing suddenly sounded, and the distance between the respondent and them was slowly narrowing!
"That guy heard the voice just now!" Chen Ge gritted his teeth. He found that the minister was really difficult to deal with. This bastard suffered a loss once, so this time he specially asked him to go upstairs with him. On the right, no matter which corridor you enter, you will be seen!
A cat meow came into my ears, and the sound gradually became distorted and harsh. The three of them are now standing at the entrance of the corridor on the left side of the sixth floor, and the respondent may be in the corridor at this time.
"I made the sound, he should only be looking for me, you go to the seventh floor to hide, and I'll stop the minister." The lady in the skirt took the initiative to enter the corridor and walked towards the fifth floor, Chen Ge also took Ying Tong's hand Entering the corridor, he and Ying Tong were quietly walking to the seventh floor.
