Mia nervously grabbed the corner of Xu Wen's clothes and bit her lower lip.

"Captain Xu, how about we go back to find grandpa first and ask grandpa to help us?"

The little policewoman is scared.

But Xu Wen didn't want to trouble the old man. He didn't like to owe others casual favors.

So Xu Wen replied.

"Maybe I'm dazzled, don't bother the old man with this kind of thing."

"Let's go back quickly. Where does Cai Xiaoqin live?"

Xu Wen did not forget the purpose of his visit today. He came to investigate Cai Xiaoqin.

The scared little policewoman quickly replied.

"Cai Xiaoqin lives in room 308, which is on the third floor."

After hearing this, Xu Wen responded.

"Okay, let's go to the third floor."

Later, Xu Wen took Mia into Master Qin's old house.

…

At this time, night falls, and there is only a dim light in the stairwell.

And when they came from the first floor to the second floor, the little policewoman Mia suddenly screamed.

"ah!"

"Who is that?"

Mia tightly grasped the corner of Xu Wen's clothes with her left hand, pointed to the entrance to the second floor corridor with her other hand, and said excitedly.

Xu Wen looked up and saw a person sitting at the entrance of the corridor on the second floor.

The other person sat there like a wooden sculpture, motionless.

Then under the dim light, Xu Wen slowly saw the other person's face clearly.

It was an old man, about seventy or eighty years old. He was wearing black linen clothes and looked at him and Mia with dull eyes.

That old man was really weird, because he didn't move at all, and he couldn't even feel the breath of a living person on his body.

Fortunately, the old man spoke and let people know that he was still alive.

"Little girl, you're whistling! You scared me."

"Grandpa, I have a bad heart. I was almost scared by you."

After hearing this, Mia realized her gaffe just now.

"Yes, I'm sorry. I didn't mean it."

Xu Wen was obviously much calmer and he stepped forward and asked.

"Old man, why are you sitting at the entrance of the corridor?"

The old man raised his head, and Xu Wen could see wrinkles all over his face that looked like ravines.

He opened his mouth towards Xu Wen and smiled.

"I just finished eating and came out to enjoy the cool air."

"You two little guys don't seem to be from this building. What are you doing here?"

After Xu Wen heard this, he quickly said.

"Oh, we are here to find someone. Excuse me, old man, do you know Cai Xiaoqin? She seems to remember her here. We want to find out about her situation from you."

After hearing this, the old man slowly extended his right hand and said to Xu Wen.

"Is there any smoke?"

Xu Wen immediately understood what the other party meant, quickly took out a cigarette from his pocket, and took the initiative to light one for the old man.

"Just one! Cheapskate."

"Forehead!"

Xu Wen was speechless. He didn't expect that the old man turned out to be a smoker.

He directly handed the pack of cigarettes in his hand to the other party.

But the old man said.

"Three sticks are enough."

After Xu Wen heard this, he honestly took out two more sticks and gave them to the old man.

What a weirdo. I can’t do anything less, I don’t want more, I have to have three.

The old man took three cigarettes and grinned.

"Xiao Qin lives in Room 8 on the third floor. She is pregnant, she should give birth soon!"

"When she gives birth to a baby, our yard will be lively."

After the old man finished speaking, he got up and went into the house.

"2-6!"

Xu Wen looked at the room the old man entered and silently wrote down the house number.

"I asked some useless questions, let's go, let's go to the third floor."

After Xu Wen finished speaking, he led the policewoman to the third floor cautiously.

When they arrived on the third floor, the sky became a little darker. Xu Wen stood in the corridor on the third floor and looked towards the yard.

I found that the entire old house has an inner square structure.

There is a public corridor on each floor, forming a loop.

"Team Xu, found 308!"

Mia whispered to Xu Wen.

After Xu Wen heard this, he quickly walked over.

"The lights are not on, is there no one?"

Xu Wen discovered that there was no light in Cai Xiaoqin's window. Where could a pregnant woman go?

So he knocked on the door.

Bang bang bang!

Bang bang bang!

Xu Wen knocked twice, but there was no response from the room.

"No one is home?"

"Captain Xu, how about we come back during the day tomorrow!"

"This place is so weird."

Mia nervously said to Xu Wen.

Xu Wen touched his chin, suddenly thought of something, and then said to Mia.

"Did you think that the old man just now was a little strange?"

When Mia heard this, her hair stood on end!

"Captain Xu, have you noticed it too?"

"That old man didn't look like a living person at all. His tone of voice was too cold."

"Also, he asked you for cigarettes. Why did he only ask for three cigarettes?"

"My grandfather said that three incense sticks are used to invite the spirit. Only when offering incense to the spirit would he light three sticks."

After Xu Wen heard this, he immediately said.

"Come on, let's go take a look."

"Ah? Captain Xu, aren't you afraid?"

"What are you afraid of?"

Xu Wen just wants to find out the truth of the matter, and exploring the truth behind the mystery is the meaning of his life. Therefore, Xu Wen is not very afraid of such strange things.

He took Mia and returned to the second floor

Then they came to Room 206 and found that the door was closed and there was no light in the window.

Bang bang bang!

Bang bang bang!
