Lin Banxia stretched out her hand and saw the wet scarlet between his fingers—it was actually blood. Thinking that something had happened upstairs, he raised his head and shouted, "What's the matter with you??"
"We're fine!!" Li Xinyu responded, "That Wei Zhimao has an accident!!"
problem occurs? Lin Banxia was slightly startled, turned and ran up the stairs. As soon as she reached the corridor on the fifth floor, she saw Li Xinyu standing in the stairwell with a pale face.
"What's the matter?" Lin Banxia quickly reached out to support her when she saw that her footsteps were unsteady.
"There's a dead person upstairs." Li Xinyu said, "I don't know if it's Wei Zhimao..."
Lin Banxia said, "He died, how did he die?"
Li Xinyu said, "I don't know, we were already dead when we went up."
Lin Banxia heard the words and said, "I don't have a signal on my mobile phone. You can call the police here and try, and I'll go up and have a look."
"Okay..." Li Xinyu nodded.
Lin Banxia immediately went to the sixth floor and saw the crime scene Li Xinyu said, and it was exactly as she said, the place was in a mess. The ground was covered with fresh blood and broken pieces of meat, and the pungent smell of blood irritated the nasal mucosa. Even someone like Lin Banxia, who was used to seeing corpses, felt it was a little too irritating. Lin Banxia couldn't imagine how this person died. It was as if he had been torn apart by five horses. He even saw the remains of some internal organs on the ground.
"You just died?" Lin Banxia asked.
"It should have just died." Song Qingluo said, "When we came up, the blood was still flowing."
Lin Banxia: "..." No wonder he was standing below with blood on his face.
"Call the police first." Song Qingluo's reaction was the same as Lin Banxia's.
However, when they took out their mobile phones to make a call, they all found that their mobile phones had no signal. Yi Xinhe said helplessly: "This phone can't get through, is the signal blocked?"
Lin Banxia suddenly noticed something and pointed to the corridor: "What is that?"
Several people looked up and saw some messy footprints on the edge of the corridor. Those footprints spread along the edge of the corridor, all the way to the depths, and disappeared at the end of the dimly lit corridor.
Lin Banxia said, "Would you like to go and have a look?"
Song Qingluo said, "I'll go."
After speaking, he walked towards the end. Lin Banxia stood there, watching Yi Xinhe continue to fiddle with his mobile phone, and was very confused. The population density of this bungalow is so large that even if everyone goes to work during the day, there should be some elderly people in it. But from the beginning to the end, they didn't see anyone in this building. Could it be that they didn't dare to come out when they heard the movement? Lin Banxia thought so, walked to the nearest house, reached out and knocked on the door. He just tried it casually, and didn't expect to knock on it, but who would have guessed that within a moment, the door creaked softly, and it actually opened. A young face emerged from the door. It was a young woman. She saw Lin Banxia standing outside the door and did not take the initiative to speak.
"Hello." Lin Banxia said, "Are you a resident living here?"
The woman didn't respond.
Lin Banxia said, "Did you hear anything wrong just now?"
The woman shook her head slowly.
"No?" Lin Banxia frowned, "No movement at all?"
The woman shook her head again, her reaction seemed to be very slow, and the movement of shaking her head was like a robot that was about to run out of electricity.
Lin Banxia felt very strange. Behind him was the bloody crime scene. Normal people would have reacted when they saw it, but this woman seemed to have not seen it. Those black eyes almost stuck to his body. , doesn't care what's going on nearby at all.
Such an obvious abnormality can be easily seen by anyone, Lin Banxia wanted to ask a few more questions, but Yi Xinhe's terrified cry suddenly sounded behind him, and he said, "Lin, Mr. Lin, something doesn't seem right. "
Lin Banxia turned her head: "What?"
"You, look over there." Yi Xinhe pointed to the building opposite them.
The building Yi Xinhe was referring to was the one Lin Banxia had found strange before. When he looked up, he saw a group of people appeared in the corridor opposite. They were standing in the corridor, with different genders, but they were staring at Lin Banxia and the three with the same eyes. Those eyes are hard to describe in words, like a group of mentally ill people who are barely suppressing their emotions, feeling that anything they can do is possible.
Yi Xinhe's scalp exploded under the stare: "Mr. Lin, what are they doing?"
Lin Banxia felt something was wrong: "You call Song Qingluo back, let's get out of here first." When he turned around, he found that the girl he had interacted with was still staring at him, her eyes were almost the same as the person on the other side, Lin Banxia Just as she was about to say something, she saw her smiling face, revealing her snow-white teeth... and some red things on her teeth that looked like minced meat.
Before Lin Banxia could react, she reached out and slammed the door shut, letting Lin Banxia call, but she didn't open it again.
Over there, Yi Xinhe called Song Qingluo back, and the group decided to leave here first.
When they went downstairs and walked out, the eyes of the people upstairs followed their pace, almost watching them leave.
Li Xinyu was stared at with goosebumps, and whispered, "I thought it wasn't so scary this time... In the end, it seems that people are more scary than those strange things."
"Let's go out first." Yi Xinhe smiled bitterly, "I always feel that if we wait a little longer, they will come and kill us."
The four of them did not dare to stay, so they quickly left the community. When leaving the community, Lin Banxia noticed that some residents came out one after another from the other floors of the community, just so far away, with strange eyes Watch them until they leave town through the alley.
When they got outside, they saw the crowd of people walking around, and they finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Yi Xinhe touched the sweat on his forehead and said, "The phone has a signal. I'll contact the police first and ask them to come and help."
Lin Banxia said, "Okay, but how do you explain it?"
"No need to explain." Song Qingluo said, "We have cooperation with the police." Also, their job content is so special, it is normal for them to have contact with the police. The previous few times, they were all in other places. Stubble forgot.
Taking advantage of the efforts of Yi Xinhe's contacts, Lin Banxia and Song Qingluo discussed the clues obtained by both sides. Song Qingluo said that he found the rest of Wei Zhimao's body at the end of the corridor, saying that it was the rest. In fact, only the crushed bones remain. It is very difficult to completely dismember a person, but obviously, the murderer Wei Zhimao met did all this perfectly.
Not only did he kill Wei Zhimao, but even his flesh and bones were all crushed. If it wasn't for the coincidence of their going, perhaps the remaining traces would have disappeared immediately.
Although it was unbelievable, Lin Banxia did smell an inhuman aura on those residents.
The police personnel contacted by Yi Xinhe came quickly and took more than half an hour to arrive at the scene. They were dressed in plain clothes and seemed to be acquainted with Song Qingluo. After arriving, they greeted him first and called him Mr. Song with great respect.
Song Qingluo briefly explained the situation inside, and after learning that they were carrying weapons, they decided to go back together to have a look.
So with a vigilant attitude, a total of six people returned to the 13th floor of the old residential area.
The people who had been staring at them in the corridor before had disappeared at this time, but they still did not dare to relax, and climbed to the sixth floor as the scene of the crime in one breath.
What Lin Banxia didn't expect was that after they returned to the sixth floor, the messy murder scene had disappeared. Whether the ground or the railings, became clean and spotless, as if everything they saw just now was an illusion.
"What's going on?" Li Xinyu was startled, "So fast, so clean?? The murderer shouldn't be still in the building, right??"
"I'll ask." One of the policemen named Sun Shui said. He turned around and knocked on the door next to him. After a while, Lin Banxia saw the girl who opened the door for him just now.
However, unlike the neurotic expression that Lin Banxia saw, she looked like an ordinary person. After seeing the police officer card, she even naturally showed a little nervousness: "What? Dead? I don't know, I have been They're all at home."
Sun Shui said: "It is illegal to give false testimony."
"I didn't give perjury, I really have been at home." The blankness on the girl's face didn't seem to be fake, "And no one knocked on the door just now. Don't you find the wrong person?"
Sun Shui glanced back at Lin Banxia, and increased his tone, but no matter what he said, the girl was bitten to death and said that she hadn't seen it, and her attitude was very tough. It's not my fault.
Helpless, Sun Shui went to knock on several other households. At this time, Lin Banxia and the others found that almost every household in the whole building had someone at home, including young people, children and old people. It was completely different from when they came. A deadly atmosphere like a tomb.
However, no matter who I ask, their statements are all the same. I haven't heard or seen it. Even the seven- or eight-year-old children's eyes are blank, and they don't know what they are talking about.
If it is acting, this acting is a bit too good.
Sun Shui also became more and more helpless. They did see identical objects placed on the opposite floor, but the law did not stipulate that this could not be done, and the investigation was immediately deadlocked.
Under the scorching sun, Li Xinyu felt a chill on her back. She had seen a lot of strange things. It was the first time that so many people had problems together.
Lin Banxia had an idea and said, "By the way, haven't we entered Wei Zhimao's house yet? Why don't we go to his house to check?"
Anyway, the police came, and they went in to search, which was not a crime.
"Okay." Song Qingluo pondered, "Go in and have a look."
They knew Wei Zhimao's room number, so they walked to the door, still thinking about how to get in, but Lin Banxia twisted the door lock, only to find that the door was not locked at all, and he opened it directly.
At the moment when the door was opened, a faint sweet aroma rushed to his face, Lin Banxia sniffed it, and always felt that the smell was very familiar.
"It's so sweet." Li Xinyu said, "It smells like honey."
Wei Zhimao's house, at a rough level, looks very ordinary. It is the place where ordinary people live. Several people searched the house, but found nothing for a while. The unsuspecting Yi Xinhe reached out and opened the refrigerator.
"Fuck!" The moment he opened the refrigerator, Yi Xinhe took a few steps back and almost hit the person behind him. He involuntarily scolded, "What's in the refrigerator?!"
Lin Banxia turned around and looked at the inside of the refrigerator. She saw that the fresh-keeping layer of the refrigerator was stuffed with red meat. ice.
Seeing so much meat, a bad idea immediately popped into everyone's mind, Song Qingluo reached out and pinched a piece, and calmly said, "It's pork."
"Really... Really pork?" Li Xinyu said.
"Yes." Song Qingluo said, "I won't admit my mistake."
Everyone didn't say anything for a while, and a thought probably popped up in their minds: Why on earth are you able to recognize the difference so easily.
Lin Banxia didn't think so much. He glanced at the flesh, then withdrew his eyes, and continued to search elsewhere. Unexpectedly, he actually found something in the bedroom. He shouted, "Come in and see, what is in this box?"
"What?" Sun Shui was the first to come in and saw what was in front of Lin Banxia.
It was a huge wooden box, exuding an old-fashioned smell. There was a huge lock hanging on the box. The lock was quite old, but there was no rust. It should be used frequently.
Lin Banxia tried to lift the box, but he didn't expect the box to be very heavy. He tried his best, but couldn't move it: "This box is so heavy, what's in it?"
Song Qingluo walked in front of Lin Banxia, stretched out his hand and lifted the box. He was so strong that the box that Lin Banxia couldn't even drag was lifted by him with ease. Seeing this, Sun Shui said, "It's not that heavy." He stretched out his hand to take it.
Song Qingluo raised her eyebrows: "Are you sure?"
Sun Shui said with a smile, "I've been..." Before the word "Soldier" came out of his mouth, he felt a strong force in his hand, and he stumbled a few steps. Flashed his waist.
"Fuck, why is it so heavy." Sun Shui was shocked.
Lin Banxia gestured towards him, saying that she was not weak, it was really because the box was too heavy.
"How can I get this lock open?" Li Xinyu asked.
"Unscrew it." Song Qingluo said.
After he finished speaking, he reached out and twisted the lock under the gaze of everyone. He just heard a crackling sound, and the fist-sized lock was forcibly unscrewed by him.
Seeing this scene, Sun Shui felt that his neck was a little cold, and he couldn't help shrinking.
After Song Qingluo unscrewed the lock, he opened the lid of the box, and Lin Banxia also saw what was inside.
I saw that in this huge box, there were many small objects densely packed, most of which were bronze wares, which should not look like antiques, but some modern handicrafts. There are also some small objects in it, about rings, necklaces and the like, almost filling the entire box, no wonder it is so heavy.
Li Xinyu reached out and wanted to take one out, but as soon as he started, he felt that something was not right, and asked in confusion, "Why is this thing sticky?"
Lin Banxia also took one and looked at it: "Hey? What's on it?" It smelled sweet, could it be melted sugar
Song Qingluo simply dipped a little with his finger, twisted his fingertips slightly, and determined the composition of the thing: "Sugar."
"How could it be sugar?" Sun Shui asked curiously, "Could it be that something in it melted?"
It is possible.
However, Lin Banxia searched carefully, but did not find the sugar bag, but found the exact same hairpin as Lu Yinyin got in the corner. It seems that Wei Zhimao is indeed the seller who sold the goods to Lu Yinyin, but he died suddenly, and even the body disappeared, and I don't know how to continue the investigation.
"It's sticky, it's disgusting." Li Xinyu put the things back and muttered, "Does anyone really buy this stuff?"
"Who knows." Sun Shui said, "How about I call a car and take the things back to the police station, let's take a look?"
Song Qingluo said: "Take the things, and check the information of the residents here."
"Okay." Sun Shui replied.
It seems that there is nothing else to gain today, and everyone plans to go home for the time being.
On the way back, Lin Banxia and Song Qingluo didn't talk much. The two were thinking about it at the same time. There are many things that are not right in this residential area. The only explanation is that everyone was affected by heresy, but Why did they become normal again after Sun Shui came? Could this effect be divided into periods? Or, is that heresy consciously controlling them
If it's the latter, that's really bad, Lin Banxia thought.
After getting home, Song Qingluo was cooking, and Lin Banxia saw Xiaohua and Xiaoku were still sitting on the sofa watching Peppa Pig, and was a little worried: "Although this cartoon is beautiful, you can't sit and watch it all day, you guys. Both of them have been watching for a whole day, be careful not to be nearsighted."
Xiao Cave pointed to his own eyes, indicating that he had no eyes and would not be short-sighted.
Xiaohua blinked twice, softly called her brother, Lin Banxia was instantly defeated, and said, let's see, even if my brother goes to the roadside to pick up garbage, he will help you pay for the electricity bill for watching TV.
Speaking of electricity bills, 47777 also called for the labor fee after the heretical thing was contained. Lin Banxia pinched the text messages on her mobile phone and counted it several times, only to make sure that she was not confused. There were six zeros behind the numbers.
Lin Banxia was so excited that she patted her chest and said that she would treat them to the most expensive takeout today—
Although the two little guys didn't know the meaning of takeout, they still applauded enthusiastically.
So dinner turned into a hearty meal. The most expensive takeaway was Cantonese food, and the packaging was so delicate that Lin Banxia didn't dare to open it.
In the end, it was Song Qingluo who smashed the flowers with fiery hands, dismantled them all in one go, brought the tableware and chopsticks, and prepared to eat. As soon as Lin Banxia took a bite, Song Qingluo's phone rang. He glanced at it, and Sun Shui's name was written on the screen.
Song Qingluo directly pressed the speakerphone and said, "What did you find?" He knew that Sun Shui would not call him if he was okay.
"I found it." Sun Shui said, "There is something very incredible."
"What?" Song Qingluo asked.
"You know, the police in the area will come to the door to register the permanent population in that area." Sun Shui said, "So we will register the permanent residence in our system to record the flow of people."
It's not surprising, Song Qingluo said, "Then?"
Sun Shuidao: "Then I found that this residential area has only had population inflows and no population outflows over the past year."
Song Qingluo: "...Is this possible?"
"According to common sense, of course it's impossible!!" Sun Shui's tone was full of surprise, "Do you know how big the flow of people in the city is now? Especially young people, it's impossible to stay in the same place all year, looking for a job, going to school. , There are a lot of messy things, especially in this old city, most of them are tenants, and it is normal to have mobility, and it cannot be more normal…”
Song Qingluo: "But no?"
Sun Shui said firmly: "No!"
Song Qingluo was silent.
Sun Shui said: "And I also found that there are other unreasonable places in this area."
Song Qingluo: "Speak."
Sun Shui said: "Just this year, there are no trivial disputes at all... There are a thousand or two thousand people in this area, and no one has come to the police station to file a case. It's like living in a peach blossom garden."
Song Qingluo said, "I see."
"Mr. Song, when are you going to visit again?" Sun Shui asked.
"Tomorrow." Song Qingluo said, "What?"
Sun Shui said, "I'll come with you."
"Okay." Song Qingluo agreed.
"Oh, by the way, the test results came out just now, and the sugar on these things." Sun Shui said, "It's nothing special, I guess I got it accidentally."
"Really." Song Qingluo said, "Have you checked other things?"
"I checked, it's an ordinary handicraft." Sun Shui said, "No problem."
"Okay, see you tomorrow." Song Qingluo hung up the phone, rubbing the chopsticks in his hand silently, as if thinking about something.
After listening to the conversation between the two, Lin Banxia said hesitantly, "That heretical thing has an impact on so many people, will it be serious?"
"It depends on the situation." Song Qingluo said, "If it's just a mild infection, it doesn't matter, if it's serious..."
Lin Banxia: "Will it be like Lu Yinyin?"
Speaking of Lu Yinyin, Song Qingluo lowered her eyes and took out the hairpin from her pocket. This hairpin was taken out of the box by him today, and the sticky substance on it was washed away. It looked ordinary and nothing special.
So why did Lu Yinyin suddenly have an accident
Song Qingluo suddenly called Banxia.
Lin Banxia said, "What?"
Song Qingluo said, "What can sugar attract?"
Lin Banxia said blankly: "Sugar? What attracts? Do you mean animals? Of course it's ants..."
Yes, ants love candy. In hot summer, even in a city made of reinforced soil, as long as you accidentally sprinkle some on the ground, in just a moment, they will densely crawl all over the ground, and you don't know them. Where did it come from.
Song Qingluo frowned suddenly, "I have to go to the hospital again."
Lin Banxia also realized something from Song Qingluo's unsatisfactory eyes, with an unbelievable look on her face: "No... No way."
If it was what he thought, it would be too scary.
The author has something to say:
Lin Banxia: Babies don't watch TV all day long, they need to exercise to be healthy
Song Qingluo: Yes, let's play with the house number. He likes to play with children the most.
Glued on the house number of 502: ? ? ? ?
