Gu Sheng looked at Peephole and saw that it was the girl from upstairs.
He only knew that her last name was Song, her features were delicate, and her figure was very good. Especially at this moment, she was wearing a close-fitting pajama set. If it weren't for the noise, it would be hard for a man to get angry at such a girl.
"What does it mean?"
He only opened the door a crack.
The girl kept looking back as if there was something in the dark corridor.
"Can I go in first?"
"No, we need to talk about this. In today's society, men must protect themselves when they are out."
Upon hearing this.
The girl's expression froze for a moment, and she seemed to be filled with a great fear inside.
After glancing behind her again, she nervously spoke up.
"Jiang, my classmate!"
"After you left, I remembered something. I recently read a piece of news..."
"Near the university town, there was a girl who died in a certain residential area. She was a ballet student, and it was a murder. In order to not affect property prices and rentals, all the residents in the community pooled money together to suppress the information."
"I was a bit scared at the time and didn't look into it in detail. Now that I think about it, it's very likely that the place where the person died is in our residential area. Did you notice when you were renting that there are many vacant houses here? This location couldn't possibly be so deserted."
Here, although it is a relatively remote area, it is close to several universities, so the housing in the community is often in high demand.
"Can you let me go in first? If you can hear noise from upstairs, it means the house I rented is the scene of a murder case. Maybe that woman... has come back!"
The girl looked eager.
But Gu Sheng remained unmoved, showing no intention of letting her in.
The other person's words are too strange.
Can the dead come back to life? Isn't that a ghost?
What a joke?
There are no ghosts in this world. It's more likely that this woman has mental issues. It's really hard to explain if we let her in.
"If you don't believe me, then let's do this: come downstairs with me, we can go to the police or... wait."
The woman stopped halfway through her sentence, suddenly realizing something, and took two steps back.
"Why is it that only you can hear the footsteps every time, and I've never heard them? Could it be that this isn't my house, but..."
"Anyway, I can't stay in this place. I'm checking out tomorrow!"
The girl shouted as she ran downstairs.
Not only that.
It looks like she made a phone call to someone to come pick her up.
Gu Sheng seems a bit puzzled.
Close the door.
Looked back.
In the pitch-black room, only the computer emits a faint light.
He had already fallen asleep, but was awakened by the noise from upstairs, so he decided to stay up late to draw a talisman, and didn't turn on the light.
"Hehe, trying to play tricks on me? You want to scare me, but you haven't even asked what kind of person Jiang Ye is!"
He returned to the table again.
But feeling inexplicably restless, after thinking for a while, Gu Sheng suddenly got up and walked to the balcony.
Looking down.
Outside is an old-fashioned flower bed, a small cement square, and the key is that there is no one under the neighborhood.
Waited for a while.
He neither saw the tenant upstairs nor the man who had promised to come and pick her up on the phone.
"Did he leave so soon? That shouldn't be the case!"
Gu Sheng muttered to herself.
Maybe she didn't actually go downstairs at all, and just said that to scare me on purpose?
Is this woman having a conflict with my landlord, trying to scare away the downstairs tenants?
For a moment, heavy questions filled my mind.
Gu Sheng has only been renting this room for less than half a month. This is mainly because summer vacation is approaching, and he also needs a place to make medical props like fake talismans after starting his ancestral business in the department.
Just arrived.
He couldn't celebrate the festival with the people around the neighborhood, so he could only blame the landlord. So he took out his phone.
Just as I was about to call the landlord, my WeChat rang.
It was the girl from earlier, Song surname.
Connected.
The other party lowered their voice, seeming very afraid!
"Jiang, come out quickly, don't ask anything, just come downstairs!"
Gu Sheng squinted his eyes and didn't say anything.
"I'm not joking. Hurry, leave that room. Just now, I was downstairs. Do you know what I saw?"
"A woman tiptoed from the balcony into your room. She was walking on her tiptoes, her head tilted, wearing a white dress, just like a ballet dancer. Run fast. I'm not mistaken. The scene of the crime is in the house where you live!"
She spoke while running towards the outside of the residential area, and urgent footsteps could be heard coming from that direction. Gu Sheng stood still.
The strange feeling in his heart grew stronger, and he had been standing on the balcony the whole time since the woman went downstairs.
He didn't see the woman tiptoeing down the stairs, nor did he see this classmate Song running out of the building.
"Still unable to rule out the possibility of a prank. He hung up the phone, his brow suddenly furrowing."
"Step, step, step"
The footsteps that originally came from the phone did not disappear.
"But it appeared upstairs, then a moment later at the balcony, and the next second it was at the other end of the living room. It's absolutely impossible for a person to move at this speed.
"Is it a prank by two people working together, or some kind of practical joke show?"
The footsteps of a person are another unique identifying feature apart from fingerprints, with almost everyone's footsteps having subtle differences.
Someone familiar enough can recognize who is coming just by hearing their footsteps.
Criminal investigation experts can even roughly identify suspects through footsteps. Gu Sheng has some research on this. After listening carefully for a while, he found that the two sets of footsteps were clearly from the same person, which was quite strange.
The Adam's apple rolled, and the strong psychological quality that had been honed since childhood was challenged at this moment. The hand holding the phone was a little stiff.
However, thanks to participating in numerous operations with the old man, Gu Sheng had witnessed over a hundred supernatural incidents, which either turned out to be someone playing tricks, or the individuals involved were just scaring themselves due to poor psychological resilience.
He still remained calm.
Taking a deep breath, he dialed the landlord's phone number. It was now past two in the morning, and it took two attempts before the call connected. A middle-aged man's frantic voice came through on the other end.
" brat, in the middle of the night, you're calling me. I'll beat you up!"
Gu Sheng was a little impatient: "Shut up!"
"Now I'll ask a question, you answer, or I'll definitely kill you. I know where your family lives."
His voice was very calm.
But it exudes an inexplicable sense of long-standing ruthlessness in the martial arts world.
On the other end.
landlord Unconsciously had a cold war, and woke up completely after a nap. However, he wouldn't be easily intimidated by a young person like this!
Then he spoke in a loud and coarse voice.
"Young man!"
"This is the Rule of Law Society, don't go around threatening people! What, you want to fight?"
"Since you're from a small place, let me teach you, a slap will cost you at least fifty thousand, selling your village house won't be enough to compensate."
In comparison to the other party, Gu Sheng seems to have been through the ups and downs of society for many years, directly ignoring this kind of fruitless argument, and simply asking lightly.
"Is there a problem with the house you rented to me?"
The other person immediately got angry!
"What problems could there be with my house? I only rented it to you at a cheap price because you're a college student. You still want to cheat people? At such a young age, don't do such heartless things!"
"A woman was killed in your house, it's a murder."
This time the landlord is a bit anxious!
"Don't talk nonsense, the dead person is not in my house..."
Halfway through speaking.
He suddenly realized he had let something slip and quickly stopped.
Gu Sheng's brows furrowed.
Hiss, so you're saying someone did die in this building after all?
landlord is so secretive again, indicating that the deceased person is in one of the rooms, even if it's not 304, it's still one of the adjacent rooms.
"I'm asking you, has the house with the deceased person been rented out? What's the name of the woman who died, do you have a photo? Send it to me!"
"What do you mean?"
landlord still refuses to admit.
Gu Sheng There's no time to beat around the bush with the other party.
"I'm not joking with you. If you don't say it, I'll go find you right now and ask you face to face."
landlord fell silent for a moment, then let out a soft sigh.
"Have you encountered some trouble?"
"The person who died was in the apartment above mine!"
"After that, the landlord also had an accident, and the house was never rented out again. I don't have any photos..."
"The girl is quite pretty, seems to be studying ballet, and has a great figure!"
"Oh, I think her last name is Song."
Upon hearing the last word, Gu Sheng felt a sudden buzz in his mind. An inexplicable electric current instantly surged through his head.
Song?
Is it really just a coincidence like that?
