"Is it erased if the task fails? Is it because of the first task, so the punishment for failure is more serious?" Lin Xiao guessed in his heart.

He looked at the dry 20 yuan in his pocket, decisively put on his clothes, and secretly left the hospital.

I owe the treatment fee first, and I will definitely pay it back when I have the money.

I found a small restaurant, and had a meal with a slight meal, and ate five steamed buns. Lin Xiao suspected that his predecessor was a rice bucket.

A few hours later, he came to a quiet community.

Although Qingyun City is the capital of China, this old and dilapidated community is still located among many high-rise buildings.

"According to memory, Lin Xiao rented a house in this community three days ago."

"The memory in my mind shows that Lin Xiao has been in the hut for the past two days, but his memory is intermittent and very vague, and it is not as clear as the memory three days ago. This shows that on the day of renting a house, Lin Xiao encountered an unexpected accident and was in a state of illness, hypnosis or poisoning."

Lin Xiao talked to himself and walked into the community. What caught his eye was a tall mulberry tree.

The tree is as tall as a five-story building, but a few branches fell to the ground, and the leaves on it were pulled out, which seemed to be a prank by some child.

The sun was blocked by the leaves, causing the entire building to be dark.

Lin Xiao came to the bulletin board in front of the building and saw a group of psoriasis-like advertisements.

After looking through a few times, he found the information he needed.

"Sure enough, the rental advertisement posted here is the cheapest basement for rent, which costs 2,000 yuan a month. Lin Xiao, the former man, only spent 500 yuan, rented the east house on the fifth floor for a month. There must be problems with such a cheap rent."

Lin Xiao walked into the corridor and knocked on the east gate of the first floor.

This is where the homeowner is located.

In my memory, the homeowner was a short and gray-haired old man who didn't like to talk much. After receiving Lin Xiao's money, he took out a rental contract. The time it took for the two to reach the deal was no more than five minutes.

"There must be a problem with this homeowner. Maybe Lin Xiao was killed by him? So, what is the cause of death, poisoning?"

While Lin Xiao was thinking in his heart, the door in front opened. An old man with wrinkles showed half of his face from the crack of the door, staring straight at Lin Xiao.

Through the crack in the door, Lin Xiao could observe that there was darkness in the old man's house. Obviously, he pulled the curtains tightly and did not turn on the lights.

At this time, it was already four or five o'clock in the afternoon, and it was already past the normal nap. Since it was not a nap, why should I pull the curtains?

"This old man, what's in the house, afraid of being discovered?"

Lin Xiao frowned slightly, then smiled and said, "Hello, old man, I am Lin Xiao who rented your house."

The old man nodded and handed out a contract from the crack in the door.

The same contract as Lin Xiao had seen in his memory.

Then, he stretched out his hand to Lin Xiao, as if saying: Give money.

Seeing this, Lin Xiao said, "Old man, have you forgotten? I just rented your house three days ago and signed a contract with you. I don't know if it's convenient for you. I want to ask you if I have something to do. Can I go into the house and say it?"

As he said that, Lin Xiao stretched out his hand and wanted to push the door and enter the old man's house.

However, the old man muttered the word "inconvenient" and closed the door.

"Second, how did this person come in from outside? In my memory, the former master had closed the window before going to bed. What method did the criminal use to open the window without realizing it?"

Lin Xiao raised his head and observed the window. However, there was no damage on the glass on the window except for a round hole the size of a penny coin.

This round hole is very small, only the size of a little finger, and is very far from the window. It is impossible for ordinary people to open the window through it.

At this time, it was already late and the sun was gradually setting. Under the cover of mulberry leaves outside the window, the bedroom was dark.

Listening to the sound of the wind blowing leaves outside the window, Lin Xiao suddenly felt a little strange.

Too quiet!

Here, I can't hear the birds' cry.

Could it be that the birds noticed some danger and dared not approach here?

"Even if the old man on the first floor is not the murderer, he must be related to the murderer. Today, he has seen me return to rent a house. Tonight, the murderer may come to commit the murderer. I am here to wait for the rabbit. If I have good luck, I can catch the murderer directly."
