Chapter 23 The Body in Building 34
I never thought that there are any strange creatures in this world, but I saw it today. Yes, it is staring at me now. My muscles are tense, but I dare not make any further movements. We just stare at each other like this
, God knows how much psychological pressure I was under at this moment. Suddenly, it moved. I saw it slowly moved to the window, opened the window, and then jumped out.
I wiped the cold sweat from my forehead and hurried to the window to look outside. It had disappeared.
I raised my hand to close the window, and I felt a strong sense of sleepiness sweeping towards my brain. The constant stimulation of this night made me feel exhausted, and my eyelids felt like they weighed a thousand pounds. I sat back on the chair and held my head.
He fell asleep again.
When I woke up again, it was already broad daylight outside, and the sunlight filtered in through the small window in the room, bringing me a little bit of comfort. The bunch of hair beside the bed was still in place. Maybe it was still there.
It was the rising sun that gave me courage. I leaned down and looked under the bed. Thick dust was piled on the ground, and there was nothing under the bed. I stood up, walked out of the room, and went to the lobby on the first floor of the hotel. The one in the middle of the front desk
The young woman was putting on makeup in front of the mirror. When she saw me coming, she smiled slightly and then said:
"Did you enjoy your stay last night?"
I nodded, then shook my head, borrowed a mobile phone charger from the middle-aged woman and returned to the room.
I closed the door, charged my phone, and turned it on. Suddenly a message popped up in the company's group chat, and I quickly clicked in. The specific content was that the boss decided to give us all a day off today to let us have a good rest. After reading the message
Finally, I subconsciously opened my mailbox, but fortunately, no new anonymous emails were sent to my mailbox.
After briefly washing up, I sat on a chair and began to think about how to defend Wu Jian’s innocence and how to obtain useful evidence in the process. It was like an alternative game of backgammon, when the board was densely packed with
When it comes to white, I still have to think about where black should play next. Now I have no clue.
beep beep beep——
A series of unfamiliar numbers came in. I picked up the phone and hesitated for a moment before choosing to answer.
"Hey, I came out of the police station. How about it? They can't lock me up for a long time for a person like me."
I immediately recognized that it was the voice of an old Taoist priest. Before I could speak, the old Taoist priest said again:
"How was last night? Was it safe? I had a premonition that you were in danger, so I used a secret method to summon evil spirits to help you. This process was extremely laborious and laborious. I used my essence and blood. You must invite me today.
Eat and make up for my losses."
Listening to the voice, I seemed to be able to see his dark face smiling evilly at this moment.
"Summon evil spirits? Do you want to help me or harm me?"
I said jokingly. Of course, I knew very well that the evil spirits mentioned by the old Taoist priests must not have the purpose of killing people.
"This thing is strange to say. It was also a miserable person. Its head, hands and feet were chopped off, leaving its body incomplete. I happened to meet it when it first transformed into a resentful ghost, and then I took it away.
You did us a big favor last night."
Hearing this, I suddenly thought of the wrinkled humanoid creature on the roof last night. I immediately understood. Its limbs and head looked like they were not my own, and the body was at a deformed angle, just like
The old Taoist priest was right.
Could it be that it helped me drive away Yang Li’s resentful ghost last night and saved my life?
Just as I was thinking about it, the old Taoist priest's voice came over the phone again.
"Where are you? I'll go look for you now, but you have to reimburse me for the travel expenses."
Hearing this, I immediately couldn't laugh or cry. At this juncture, the old Taoist priest asked me to reimburse him for his travel expenses, which was really nothing. I sighed, and had no choice but to agree, and then told the old Taoist priest my current location.
After hanging up the phone, I leaned on my chair and thought about what happened last night. Yang Li's body was obviously hidden in the closet by the old Taoist priest and I, but why did it suddenly disappear again?
I turned on my phone and saw one message after another in the company group. I scrolled through it and only saw a message from a colleague saying: "Have you all heard? A female executive of Hengfeng Real Estate Group died in their community last night."
, just this morning when the cleaning lady was cleaning Building No. 34 of the community, she found her body in the stairwell on the first floor, and then called the police. It is said that her death was so horrific that the cleaning lady was so frightened that she went insane.
, was discovered by the police and sent to the psychiatric department of the hospital for treatment. Now the people at Hengfeng Group are struggling to suppress public opinion."
