Chapter 3: Scarlet Apartment (3)

Views:

The next day, a terrified scream broke the dead silence of the apartment.

Boss Qian's body was first discovered by his driver, Da Zhuang. No one would have imagined that a man with a simple and powerful voice could scream like this.

Shen Yu, who heard the screams, cautiously walked out of the room with the little boy, and together with others, gathered in Room 101 of the East Building one after another.

As soon as he entered the door, he saw Boss Qian's body hanging dangling out of the window, his fat and greasy face was facing the door, his bloodshot eyes seemed to be staring at everyone who came in.

In his hand, he was still tightly clutching the black book that belonged to him.

Da Zhuang looked at the familiar face of his boss, and suddenly his legs went limp, and he fell to the ground, pointing at the window tremblingly, almost speechless, and finally rushed out of the room, throwing up.

However, Shen Yu saw at a glance the book that Boss Qian was still clutching in his hand before he died.

Regardless of the disgust or frightened eyes of others, he stepped forward and untied the rope hanging from the corpse's neck, placed the deceased on the bed, and then took the black book from the other party's hand.

He turned the pages of the book and saw that it read:

[Thirteen brave cleaners live in the pink apartment.]

[On the first night, the cleaner Pangpang heard something outside the window, so he violated the rules of the apartment, opened the window and looked out...] [So, the story of Pangpang is over here.]

The bald man also came over, glanced at the pages of Boss Qian's book, and then smacked his lips in disdain: "A newcomer is a newcomer, there is nothing in the book, and there is nowhere to pick up any omissions, what are you reading his book for?"

Pick up the leak

Shen Yu didn't speak, but only remembered the information contained in the bald man's words, and then put the black book back to the dead man's hand in silence.

At this moment, the rest of the people had gathered.

The man with glasses came over, looked at the open window, and commented decently: "It seems that this novice was in danger last night because he was alone in a room and still lived in the east building."

"No, he opened the window at night, not because he was alone, nor because he lived in the east building." Shen Yu pondered for a while, then suddenly asked everyone, "Did you hear the sound of scratching the glass last night?" ?”

The young couple who lived together said palely, "I heard that, first I heard someone scratching the glass outside the window, and then there was a knock on the door... We were too scared, so we hugged each other all the time, without opening the door or window."

The flower-armed man who lost one hand shook his head nonchalantly, grinning and said: "Don't scare people, it was quiet last night, I didn't hear anything anyway!"

He asked everyone, and found that some people heard the movement last night, and some did not.

But anyone who hears scratching outside the window is followed by a knock at the door. And the knock on the door will stop the scratching of the window.

Shen Yu was thoughtful: "It seems that the person who knocked on the door has been chasing the things outside the window. When the knock on the door sounds, the things outside the window will be startled away."

The young couple who were hugging each other before suddenly raised their hands tremblingly, and asked in a low voice, "Since one of us died... then tonight, is there just the right number of people, so no one will be left alone?"

The rest of the uneasy novices, when they heard this sentence, their eyes lit up immediately, as if they had taken a reassurance.

yes! There were only twelve of them left, and they happened to share one room, so they didn't have to compete with others for the keys anymore.

But suddenly there was another scream: "Wait, where is my sister?"

The screaming person is the younger sister of the twins.

The names of the pair of sisters are Xu Tingting and Xu Jiaojiao. Last night, the older sister Xu Tingting formed a team with the man with glasses. The younger sister Xu Jiaojiao who was left behind was picked up by the short-haired girl.

But today, Xu Jiaojiao came out in good condition, but she couldn't find her sister in the crowd.

So at this moment, she finally couldn't help asking the man with glasses: "Where's my sister? Is she... still in the room?"

At the end of the question, Xu Jiaojiao's voice trembled slightly, and an ominous premonition shrouded her heart.

"You mean Miss Xu..." The man with glasses pushed the gold-rimmed glasses on the bridge of his nose, "I don't know."

"I don't know? She lives in the same room as you, how could you not know?" Xu Jiaojiao screamed.

"After turning off the lights last night, Miss Xu suddenly wanted to go to the bathroom, so she opened the door and went to the public bathroom in the dark alone." The man with glasses said politely, "But what happened to her after that... Then I don't know, Anyway, she didn't come home overnight."

In this dangerous and weird apartment, she went out alone after the lights were turned off, and finally stayed out all night... The rich boss is a lesson from the past, and it is obvious that Xu Tingting's final end will not be ideal.

Xu Jiaojiao asked in disbelief: "How dare she go out against the rules? Didn't you stop her?"

Hearing her rhetorical question, the man with glasses couldn't help but sneered, his tone full of indifference: "As we all know, Miss Xu is a mature woman with her own wishes and decisions, how can I stop an adult from going to the bathroom by herself? "

Xu Jiaojiao's eyes were red, she sobbed, she didn't say anything, she just gritted her teeth and ran towards the west building.

The rest of the people looked at each other in blank dismay, so they rushed over.

The pink apartment is an old-fashioned apartment. Even in the newly painted west building, there is no separate bathroom in the room. There is only a public bathroom at the end of the corridor on each floor.

After everyone rushed to the floor where the man with glasses lived last night, they saw the missing Xu Tingting.

This public restroom is divided into two parts, inside and outside. The inside is a toilet, and the outside is a row of rusty shower heads, which also function as a public bathroom.

At this time, Xu Tingting was lying on her back under a shower head, her clothes were stained with blood, there was a clear pinch mark on her snow-white neck, and her chest had already stopped breathing.

Her bloodshot eyes were still wide open, full of fear, as if she had seen something extremely terrifying before she died.

Xu Jiaojiao suddenly let out a mournful wail, lying on her sister's body, crying in despair.

But Shen Yu's heart skipped a beat when he saw the pinch marks on the neck of the corpse.

The bluish-purple pinch marks are small, not like the handprints of adults. There were no obvious wounds on the body, but the clothes were stained with blood, as if it had been stained by something.

It's so familiar!

He looked down at the dried blood stains on his clothes, and then carefully touched the bruise on his neck that was about to disappear.

This girl met the blood monkey that attacked him last night

He was once attacked by that monkey-like monster, and finally managed to fight back, but a defenseless girl who was attacked might not be so lucky.

But if the blood monkey really killed the girl, then as far as he knows, there are at least three monsters in this apartment

It's a pity that Xu Tingting is not a novelist, and she doesn't have a black book to record the exact cause of her death, so Shen Yu can only temporarily suppress her doubts.

"Tsk tsk tsk!"

At this time, the man with glasses who came along with him sighed hypocritically: "What a pity! Such a young and beautiful girl still couldn't escape."

After hearing the fake condolences, the short-haired girl gave him a sideways glance, and said coldly: "News are always timid and dare not break the rules. Did you deliberately coax her out last night?"

"Did you reassure her that there wasn't much risk in going out at night, so that silly girl believed your story?"

Xu Jiaojiao, who was crying bitterly, was taken aback when she heard these words, and then glared at the man with glasses.

The smile on the corner of the glasses man's mouth remained unchanged, and he said nonchalantly: "Everything must be based on evidence, and don't slander others at will."

The short-haired girl sneered disdainfully: "In every story, there will be veterans deliberately coaxing newcomers to die to find the way for themselves." "What will happen if you want to use this girl's life to test the rules of going out late at night?" You're just one of those bastards!"

The smile of the man with glasses finally completely disappeared.

He said in a hoarse voice: "We are also veterans, why bother to be angry with a newcomer? This newcomer is not even a novelist, but just an audience, and will not help you in the future."

"Or... you have to show up today to pretend to be this good guy?" The gentle and elegant skin was peeled off, and the man with glasses only had a murderous intent in his eyes at this time, and he held his black book with one hand.

The short-haired girl spat out the lollipop she was holding in her mouth with a "bah", facing the provocation of the man with glasses, she also pressed it on the black book, and she was full of fighting spirit: "Would you like to try one?"

The atmosphere between the two is tense, almost imminent.

Shen Yu didn't know the strength of the two, nor did he know the purpose of the black book, so he guarded the little boy behind him with vigilance, and stepped back step by step, away from the battlefield between the two.

The rest of the people also had winks, and they all hurriedly exited the public bathroom.

Just when the atmosphere in the bathroom had reached its peak, a hoarse and strange voice suddenly interrupted the next actions of the two of them.

"So many of you gathered together, do you want to be lazy and not work?"

The corridor manager who distributed the keys yesterday was standing behind everyone, staring at everyone with cloudy eyes, his old face twitching.

The man with glasses and the girl with short hair paused and hesitated for a moment. After weighing their rights and disadvantages, they simultaneously withdrew their hands from the writing.

The administrator bent down and coughed, stretched out a shriveled old palm, and muttered: "Hand over your keys, and quickly get the tools and go to work."

Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, and finally handed over the keys obediently, and then received a bunch of cleaning tools such as brooms, rags, buckets, etc. from the administrator.

Only Xu Jiaojiao, who had just lost a loved one, shouted to the administrator with tears in her eyes: "My sister is dead, and people in your apartment are dead! Two people have already died!!"

Hearing her venting yell, the administrator rolled his blindfolded eyes, parted his lips and smiled, "Oh, I forgot to tell you one thing."

"Recently, in the apartment, three of the pets raised by someone ran away, so if you go out and open the window at night, you will inevitably encounter those little pets."

"Those three pets are a bit fierce. If someone is killed, our apartment will not be responsible."

After that, she waved her hand impatiently: "Okay, stop crying, the apartment is so dirty now, go and clean it!"

Seeing that she was about to leave, Shen Yu, who had been silent all this time, suddenly said: "Wait!"

The administrator stopped, turned his head and stared at him coldly.

Shen Yu turned a blind eye, and just asked calmly: "About those lost pets, I have one more question."

The administrator smacked his mouth: "Say."

"If, I find those three pets...and kill them, what will happen?" Shen Yu stared into the administrator's eyes and asked in a deep voice.

The administrator seemed to be taken aback by his question. He was stunned for a while, then suddenly opened his toothless mouth and smiled "hoho".

After laughing, she walked up to Shen Yu: "Young man, if you kill those lost pets..."

"Then you must hand over their corpses to us, and we can give you any reward you want!"

The administrator said almost gritted his teeth.
