Chu Tianshu was stuffed under the table by him, and he was in a bad mood.
"Stay here obediently, I'll be back in a while."
Lin Huai ruaed his head, and let out the voice of a domineering president. Chu Tianshu groaned and frowned dissatisfied.
The expression, however, was not sad, but rather comical. Considering that dogs are not allowed in the comment section, and dogs are not allowed in apartment buildings, Lin Huai decided to be a domineering property manager.
He ruthlessly locked Chu Tianshu into the duty room, and he followed the woman upstairs.
The three of them had just entered the elevator, and four more people rushed over from the door, and they seemed to be users of this apartment as well. When the last obese person boarded the elevator, the elevator sounded overloaded.
"Fatty Lu, it's you again!" The bitter woman who entered the elevator first was dissatisfied. She pointed to the last fat man who was wiping his forehead and covered in sweat, and made a mean voice, "You were overloaded as soon as you came up, and I let you go!" Lose weight, go down!"
"This, isn't the number of people full..."
"We weigh more than 100 catties each, and you weigh more than 300 catties each. Can you count as a person?" The woman seemed to have been dissatisfied with this fat man for a long time. She clutched her nose and made a disgusted sound.
"Tch... alright."
No one in the elevator stood up for Fatty, who didn't seem welcome here. The fat man let out a muddy snort, and got off the elevator trembling.
Fatty's departure also took away the sour stench. The white-collar woman gave a "tsk" sound and pressed the word "6".
Several people next to them also pressed the floor they were on.
Lin Huai noticed that there was no "4" on this elevator, only other numbers from "1" to "7". He looked at the woman with some confusion: "Is there no fourth floor here?"
"It's a feudal superstition." The young man in a baseball cap replied, "'4' means 'death', which is unlucky. Many developers do this."
Lin Huai nodded thoughtfully: "Oh."
In the elevator, besides Lin Huai, the man in the baseball cap and the white-collar woman, there were two women and a man. Among the two women and one man, it seems that the young man and woman are a couple, whispering secretly.
The other woman looked worried. She looks to be in her thirties, but she is well maintained. She is wearing a pink mohair jacket with off-white cashmere lining. Her skin is pretty good, she holds a brand new iPhone, and every fingernail is clean.
The core capacity of the elevator is six people. So it's not unreasonable for the fat man not to come up. However, generally speaking, the safety margin of the load is taken into account in the design of the elevator. Although the fat man is quite obese, the possibility of problems in the elevator cannot be ruled out. So Lin Huai subconsciously looked at the top of his head.
The moment Lin Huai looked up, Lin Huai's pupils shrank.
Besides the six of them, there are other people in this elevator!
From the mirror on the top of the elevator, there was a little girl in a ragged padded jacket!
The little girl was hiding behind the woman in the pink sweater, biting her finger at the corner of the elevator. Her clothes looked dirty and out of place with her newly dressed mother.
Lin Huai lowered his head subconsciously, and met the little girl's eyes.
The little girl seemed startled by him, and lowered her head timidly.
The hair on top of her head was dirty and tangled.
The little girl was hiding in the corner of the elevator and behind her mother, so Lin Huai hadn't noticed it before.
When the elevator reached the third floor, the woman in the pink sweater went down holding her mobile phone, and the little girl followed her down, pulling at the hem of her clothes.
After the two went down, the sound continued in the elevator.
"Poor thing." The female white-collar worker said casually, "I dress neatly, and my daughter doesn't care about it."
"You women are cruel, you have come to your door, and you can still act as if you didn't see it."
"What does it have to do with being a woman? These women who serve as mistresses to married men are so morally depraved that they can even throw away their own daughters. It's none of our ordinary women's business!"
There was a lot of discussion in the elevator, and Lin Huai was a little confused for a while.
He originally thought that no one but him could see the little girl, but what he didn't expect was that everyone in the elevator could see her. And it sounds like they all have heard about the kid.
"Following her mother all the time, who can't see it." The white-collar woman shrugged.
The couple got off the elevator on the fifth floor, and Lin Huai followed the white-collar woman down on the sixth floor. The man in the baseball cap stayed in the elevator. He lived on the seventh floor.
There are two households on each floor of the apartment. The white-collar woman led Lin Huai to the room marked "602" and opened the door with a key. Before entering her room, Lin Huai smelled a sour smell.
This sour smell confused him, and he always thought he had smelled it somewhere before. Seeing him sniffling, the white-collar woman glared at the 601 next door, and said numbly, "It's from there."
She led Lin Huai into the small living room. After closing the door, he let go of the hand pinching his nose in dissatisfaction: "You didn't know when you came here, that man, yes, that fat man you saw downstairs lives next door to me. I I just moved in in the last month, if I had known the neighbor was such a Sima bastard, I wouldn’t have come here! It’s a pity that I have paid the rent for a year, alas!”
She was very angry, and Lin Huai was a little confused. Generally speaking, ordinary women would not speak ill of their neighbors who were merely unhygienic.
"He's not hygienic, gloomy, and peeping, shit!" the woman spat hard, "The balconies of our two families are connected, with a little distance between them. At night When I was sleeping, I always felt that he was looking at me from the balcony and asking him, if he still didn’t recognize me, what was it?”
So that's the case, and since this is the case, I can't blame this woman for having such a big resentment when she mentioned her neighbor. Lin Huai was determined to improve the relationship between himself and the residents, so he enthusiastically said: "I will find a way to deal with this matter."
"Process? How to deal with it?"
"Every resident is obliged to maintain a clean and hygienic environment in the apartment. Now that the source of the odor is known." Lin Huai smiled kindly, "Then let's deal with the source."
woman:…
She always felt that Lin Huai's words about dealing with the source meant something, but his smile was very polite and gentle, revealing that he really wanted to have a heart-to-heart talk with the fat man. It's just that she doesn't know that Lin Huai is indeed a person who likes to wander off. When others disagree with him, he will either start from the heart and have a touching conversation. When the other party is stubborn, he also insists on starting from the heart, and conducts exchanges that touch people's hearts and eventually stop their hearts from beating.
"Compared to this, let's deal with my wall first!" The woman suppressed the strange feeling and snorted.
In a small hotel-style apartment, each household is equipped with a small living room, bathroom, kitchenette and its own small room. Women obviously don't fire often, Lin Huai glanced at the small kitchen as she passed by, and it was unusually deserted inside. The woman continued to babble: "I heard that this is a hotel-style apartment with high-quality residents, so I lived here. I didn't expect the neighbors to be so smelly. If I knew it, I would change places!"
Entering from the small living room is the sleeping room. The north side of the room is the wall, and the south side is the floor-to-ceiling windows leading to the balcony. As soon as Lin Huai entered this room, she felt a little strange.
This room seems a little cramped.
On the wall on the north side hangs a huge oil painting of a vase with three flowers in full bloom. Two of the flowers are already in full bloom and the third is still in bud. The woman pointed to the bottom of the wall on the north side, and said, "Here, this is where the water leaks."
Lin Huai lowered his head, and there was indeed some moisture under the wall.
Demolition of walls is Lin Huai's specialty, but repairing walls is not his specialty. Lin Huai turned her head, and the bed where the woman slept was between the wall on the north side and the French window on the south side.
"This..." Lin Huai observed for a while, "This water should seep from the bathroom next door."
"This wall is so thick, and water can seep from the bathroom next door?!" The woman was dissatisfied, "What kind of bean curd project is your Chunyu apartment?"
She was still complaining endlessly, but the cell phone in her bag rang. The signal in the room was not good, so the woman took her mobile phone and went to the balcony to answer the call.
"...I've said it all, this thing can't be done like this..."
A woman's voice sounded from the balcony. Lin Huai squatted down and carefully observed the wet wall.
Beige wallpaper was pasted on this wall, so the wetness was more conspicuous.
He lowered his head and looked, and found that the wetness seemed to be divided into two places, and the two were side by side, and the shape was very regular. The lower part of it expands into an ellipsoid, and the upper part is tightened, and then, it becomes thinner in strips and disappears into the wallpaper.
Lin Huai stretched out her fingers and wiped the wetness.
A bit greasy.
"Oil? Not water?"
He put his fingers to his nose and sniffed. As a ghost, he is extremely sensitive to smells, and he can smell it. It doesn't seem like the smell of water.
Rather... the smell of oil.
Why does oil seep from the wall separating the bedroom from the bathroom
Those four strange shapes are still distributed under the wall, standing side by side. Lin Huai turned his head to look at the balcony, where the woman had her back to him and was still on the phone.
The curtain was blown by the wind, blocking the view between them. Lin Huai looked up and looked at the giant oil painting.
"No, do as I say, this, this..."
The woman's voice continued, and after a while, she probably wouldn't look back.
Lin Huai pursed his lips, he gently grabbed the edge of the oil painting, and took it off the wall.
Surprisingly, this oil painting seems to be quite easy to remove.
"I said it all, no, no, listen to me..."
The woman's voice continued.
Lin Huai stretched his arms. He was worried that the woman would turn around and find out his unusual behavior. It's nothing for a woman to wake up as a ghost, but Lin Huai is really kind, and he couldn't bear to scare this woman.
Finally, the wallpaper after the oil painting appeared in front of Lin Huai.
Two ellipsoidal oil stains appeared in the position originally covered by the oil painting. They are as high as Lin Huai, and they are reflected on the wallpaper side by side.
And under the ellipsoid, there seems to be a long rectangular oil stain.
Lin Huai looked at them, his pupils constricted slightly.
He finally knew what those four oil stains were.
It wasn't water stains from the bathroom through the walls... it was four human legs!
Under the oil painting of two roses in full bloom, under the beige wallpaper, in a cramped room, in a wall that is too thick...
There are two melting people!
His breathing quickened slightly. Lin Huai stretched out her thin white fingers, grabbed the oil painting, and was about to hang it on the wall.
However, the moment he lifted the oil painting, a woman's cold voice came from behind him.
"Have you found out why the wall is leaking?"
