Everyone was shocked by Mu Yiran's statement, including Ke Xun.

"Release?" Qiu Lu, who was still in awe, turned his attention to Shaliu, "You let that monster out?!"

Sha Liu was frightened by Qiu Lu's suddenly forced face: "How can I have the courage!" He looked at Mu Yiran as if asking for help: "Brother Mu, make it clear!"

"I think it was Yafen who was invited by the knocker." Mu Yiran continued.

Only then did Qiu Lu let go of Sha Liu. Sha Liu felt that Mu Yiran's breathing was intentional when he spoke just now. This person is probably not satisfied with himself...

Everyone pondered these words carefully, and the eggs that Ke Xun peeled in his hands were cold, so he simply dipped them into the hot porridge: "I mean, someone knocked on the door of 410 the night before yesterday, which means that it was a disgrace to the people in the house. Wraith sent an invitation?"

Xin Miao was startled and shivered: "Who? Who knocked on the door of 410?"

Wei Dong looked over with one look: "Those two girls from your house."

Yes, just the night before yesterday, Tina and Luo Han violated the rules of visiting the door and knocked on the door of 410.

Qin Ci further analyzed: "That is to say, those two girls not only violated the rules and were attacked by the fire in this room, but also released Yafen of 410 because of knocking on the door?"

Mu Yiran looked at Sha Liu with cold eyes: "Didn't you hear the door slam twice the night before? It must be Yafen who went out and came back."

"But, why didn't Yafen start the night before?" Shaliu asked.

"Perhaps this is also a rule. Resentful spirits released by knocking on the door can only act on the second night." Mu Yiran expressed his speculation.

"It doesn't sound like a problem," Zhu Haowen also said, "However, after all, the second type of death happened only once, and we can't fully use this as a benchmark."

Mu Yiran's expression did not change at all, and he looked at Qin Ci: "Did you have any visions in your room last night? I didn't hear it, but saw it."

Qin Ci was a little surprised: "How did Brother Mu know?"

Ke Xun was inexplicably excited, and the boss was about to start a crushing brain baptism again.

Wei Dong, who was sitting beside Qin Ci, couldn't help asking, "Doctor Qin, what did you really see last night?"

"It's true... I saw something abnormal," Qin Ci and Li Taiyong looked at each other, "We all saw that there was a man holding a porcelain pot and stirring something like stuffing."

Everyone's scalp tingled when they heard the words "chuan the stuffing".

"I can't see clearly at night. That person is hunched over and coughs twice from time to time. He must be quite old." Li Taiyong added two sentences.

Now everyone can't eat anymore, Xin Miao whispered: "That person doesn't want to make human meat dumplings..."

Wei Dong also comforted him: "No way, doesn't he already have something in his basin?"

Shaliu asked Mu Yiran, "How do you know that Dr. Qin and the others will see something at night?"

This time, Ke Xun answered directly for his boss: "Because Zhitiao knocked on 307's door last night, it was like releasing the contents of the house."

Shaliu frowned: "After they knocked on our door last night, the white woman appeared... In other words, after Zhitiao knocked on 307, the person who took the pot and stirred the stuffing also appeared? This kind of appearance itself Is it an omen?"

"This can be an inference condition." Zhu Haowen agreed, and looked at Mu Yiran again, revealing a rare expression of affirmation.

The old man Li Taiyong had finished eating the meal in front of him, and then he said, "That is to say, the person from our house will appear in the corridor tonight? Everyone won't open the door for him, so he should be fine."

When it comes to opening the door, Xin Miao couldn't help but say, "Dr. Qin and Grandpa Li opened the door for Chitiao last night. Is this an act of accepting visits..."

The old man Li Taiyong hurriedly said, "It's none of Xiaoqin's business. I opened the door for him on my own initiative. If there is real retribution, I'll repay me alone, not Xiaoqin's business."

Ke Xun also finished the porridge in the bowl at this time, and after listening to the words of the old man Li Taiyong, he was very moved by this kind old man, and said at this time: "Those who violate the strict rules will be 'executed' that night. , the people in your house were fine last night, which proves that 'being visited' is not a visit and will not be punished."

After everyone thought about it, it was the same reason, and then heard Ke Xun add: "But don't follow suit in the future! It's scary to think about it, those resentful spirits might be dressed up in what way, in case they change. If one of us knocks on the door, we can't prevent it!"

The old man Li Taiyong nodded again and again: "Yes, Xiao Ke'er is right, you can't do this risky thing in the future." Then he looked at everyone, "Let's all eat first, and then we will have the energy to look for something when we are full. "

Everyone reluctantly took a few bites, and then Mu Yi asked, "Is there any change in your room this morning from last night?"

Probably because it was so shocking last night, most people didn't notice the changes in their rooms.

Only Zhu Haowen said: "Our room was deformed again, the walls were more inclined, and not only that, the railings in the corridor also bowed inward."

"I'll go to the sixth floor to take a look." Mu Yiran said.

"Me too..." Before Ke Xun's words could be finished, Wei Dong scolded him back: "Ke'er, are the Danshen dripping pills ready?"

Ke Xun recalled the dizzy experience yesterday, so he could only give up on his own initiative: "Then I won't be with you anymore, sadly."

Mu Yiran looked at Ke Xun, and heard the other person say, "Eat the eggs, or it's boring to go to the sixth floor."

The old man Li Taiyong also said: "Yes, after eating eggs, it will add some nutrition."

Ke Xun wanted to shake hands with Grandpa Li.

"Grandpa Li," Sha Liu said suddenly, "when you are playing chess with Uncle Zhang today, can you inquire about 307?"

If you can find out in advance what murders have occurred in 301, you may be able to avoid some things from happening.

The old man Li Taiyong nodded: "I think so too. If I can ask a little bit, I'll find him to play chess in a while."

After hearing this, everyone seemed to see hope again.

Next, everyone carried out a simple division of labor. Mu Yiran and Zhu Haowen went up to the sixth floor, and by the way, they searched and checked the sixth and fifth floors. Ke Xun Weidong inspected the third and fourth floors. Qiu Luxinmiao was in charge of the second floor. Liu and Qin Ci were in charge of the business on the ground floor and the courtyard.

Ke Xun narrowed his eyes and looked at Mu Yiran and Zhu Haowen who were walking upstairs one after the other. Both of them exuded an aura of repulsion from thousands of miles away, but there was a harmony that people didn't want to admit.

"Don't be jealous, hurry up and get down to business, or someone will eat you with dumplings tonight!" Wei Dong pulled Ke Er and turned to the third floor.

"Why do I think he is..." Ke Xun looked suspicious.

"Hao Wen'er? That's impossible." Wei Dong affirmed, "He didn't even look at me when he was shirtless at night."

"… "

"Really, don't squint. Why are you looking at me? Really don't squint."

"We eat meat. If you bring him a bowl of gruel, he will definitely not look sideways."

"Who is a bowl of gruel?" Wei Dong patted his face, feeling quite solid.

"… "

"You guys are meat eaters... Who are you..." Wei Dong felt that there was a lot of information in what he said just now, "Who are you looking for? Are you empathetic? You can't be sorry for the boss!"

Ke Xun suddenly stopped by the wall in the corridor and frowned for a long time.

Wei Dong also hurried over to take a look and carefully identified: "It's the little yellow picture again."

"Where did you see it?"

"Isn't this a JJ?"

"..." Ke Xun became anxious: "This is a bamboo shoot!"

"I said how come there are several layers of leather on the outside..."

"… "

Wei Dong took a closer look at the simple bamboo shoot: "This is the graffiti carved with a knife, and the child drew it blindly."

Ke Xun looked at the room closest to the graffiti, which was exactly 309 where the poets lived before, so he searched room by room, and sure enough, he found a bamboo shoot with vague nicks on the wall beside the door of room 307.

Similar patterns were not found in other rooms on the third floor.

Wei Dong also thought this was strange: "Could this bamboo shoot have something to do with Chunshun Apartment?"

Ke Xun supported his head and looked out of the railing: "Let's go to the fourth floor and check it out." Who knows, when he looked up, he felt dizzy, "Damn..."

Ke Xun rubbed his temples vigorously, and then looked up at the portrait again: "Dongzi, do you think anything has changed in that Tongzilou?"

Wei Dong also stretched out his head and looked up, but felt nothing.

Ke Xun resisted the dizzy feeling of vomiting, squinted his eyes and looked hard at the patio entrance at the top of the Tongzi Tower: "Don't you think the opening at the top has become smaller?"

"Is there?" Wei Dong was unaware.

"Go to the fourth floor to see if there is the same pattern of bamboo shoots." Ke Xun was about to go upstairs to check.

The results of the inspection were the same as on the third floor. Bamboo shoot patterns appeared on the outer walls of all the rooms where outsiders lived. The patterns were dark or shallow, and some of them needed to be searched carefully to find them.

At noon, people gathered downstairs again to share the results of their search in the morning.

"Not only was the sixth floor deformed, but the fifth floor was also slightly deformed, and the top of the whole package was slowly gathering inward." Mu Yiran was the first to tell what he found.

Zhu Haowen was silent, leaning against the wall next to him and playing mobile games.

Everyone looked up at the sky above. Except for Ke Xun, no one else noticed any special changes.

Ke Xun also shared his findings about the bamboo shoot graffiti. Weidong went to the sixth floor for this purpose, and sure enough, he found the same bamboo shoot pattern next to Room 616.

"This pattern is very mysterious, and it coincides with the name of Chunsun Apartment," Sha Liu said solemnly. "I think once we uncover the secret of this pattern, we should be able to find the seal."

The search of other people found nothing, including the old man Li Taiyong. It is said that once he mentioned the sensitive room number plate to the concierge, the other party would not answer any more.

But the old man Li Taiyong still brought some news: "Because so many things have happened in Chunsun Dormitory, it is said that the Hong Kong developer is very taboo, and specially asked someone to carve a stone elephant and a stone rhino, and put them in the dormitory building. Outside, it is said to be used to suppress evil."

"Elephant and rhino?" Xin Miao was a little puzzled, "I rarely heard of people using these things as anti-evil things, usually using dragons, tigers, or unicorns..."

"I also asked, and Lao Zhang said, because elephants and rhinos are vegetarians." Elder Li Taiyong couldn't think of the reason.
