Taking advantage of the time when people were coming in and out of the bathroom, Ning Shuyi quickly glanced at the situation inside.
She originally thought it was the kind of ceramic bathtub or acrylic bathtub installed in the bathroom, but after looking at it, she realized that in fact, this so-called bathtub was more accurately called a "bath".
The "bathtub" was made of bricks and cement, and a pool was built on the bathroom floor, and the tiles were laid on it, so it was large and deep, much wider than ordinary bathtubs.
What's more important is that there is no way to move this kind of bathtub that you built yourself. This means that the corpses sealed inside are firmly bonded to the bathtub with cement, which is a heavy workload and very inconvenient.
Since there was nothing they could do to help at the scene, it would only add to the chaos. Ning Shuyi decided to find out the situation from the reporter first.
The reporter was taking notes in the corridor, and was unwilling to step into the house because he was afraid of the murder scene.
Of course, the scene was already so chaotic, and no one wanted him to go in. He walked half a floor up the corridor, found a relatively quiet space, and briefly asked about how he discovered the abnormality.
When Ning Shuyi and Huo Yan went over, they had already made some notes. Generally speaking, they found out that the reporter was a neighbor of the unit next door, because the bathroom and kitchen windows of the family where the accident occurred were in the same place. On the side, next to it, the window of the house where the accident happened was open again.
The weather has been getting warmer in the past few days, so the reporter opened the windows in his home for ventilation. As a result, he felt that the wind blowing into the home from the outside was mixed with a stench, which was very unpleasant.
At first they didn't think much about it, thinking it was someone defecating downstairs, or the smell coming from littering. But after a few days passed, and it rained, the smell was still there. It will be blown into the house with the wind.
This is not a problem of defecation or littering downstairs.
They asked a few more neighbors and found that some people could smell it vaguely, while others didn't notice it at all.
Finally, through the unit and floor of the neighbor who could smell the odor, he determined that the odor was emanating from the window of this house. Because it was not strong, only those who were particularly close to the neighbor's house could smell it.
The reporter tried to knock on the door, but no one answered the door. There was no property in this area, so he had no choice but to call the police. He originally hoped that the police could contact the residents here and deal with the smelly things in the house. Lose.
Unexpectedly, the source of the peculiar smell was most likely the resident himself, who had lost contact for a long time.
At this moment, probably because there were many police cars parked downstairs, many onlookers came to the door of the crime scene one after another.
In this world, people's courage is a very uncertain thing. Some people are timid. Not to mention seeing the scene of the crime, even hearing someone talk about it will scare them and run away as far away as possible. .
Others were just the opposite. There was a cordon in front of the crime scene. Although they did not dare to cross the line, they still could not suppress their strong curiosity. They tried to lean forward and stretched their necks, trying to see clearly. What happened inside.
The corridor was very narrow, and the police maintaining order at the door had to persuade onlookers to leave as soon as possible, so as not to block the entrance and exit and cause inconvenience to other residents. They also tried to keep them away from the cordon, but with little success.
After Ning Shuyi chatted with the reporter, he turned around and looked at the door of the house where the incident occurred half a floor down. There were already people there, and there were even people standing on the stairs going down, trying hard to see clearly what happened in front of them. What.
"Has the homeowner's information been confirmed?" Huo Yan asked the colleague who was responsible for taking notes.
The colleague nodded: "We have confirmed that this house is for rent and the landlord is on his way over. When we arrived, it was still quiet here. We knocked on the door of the opposite door. We did not hold back and looked at the door. There are so many small advertisements posted densely on the website, I guess they are vacant rooms.
There are a lot of people now! They are all here to watch the excitement, so there is no way to find out! "
"Then you go and do your work first. The two of us go downstairs and wait for the landlord at the door!" Ning Shuyi thought for a moment and felt that it was useless for them to go inside the house now. As a colleague said, there are too many people at the door. , the landlord came after a while, and it was difficult to go upstairs, let alone ask questions.
The colleague had no objection to this division of labor, so he turned around and went down half a floor, separated from the crowd and entered the house where the accident occurred.
Huo Yan looked at the crowded corridor below and felt helpless. He turned to look at Ning Shuyi and pointed behind him: "Follow me."
Ning Shuyi nodded, followed closely behind Huo Yan, not daring to move away even an inch. He was tall and strong, and separated the crowded onlookers in front. Ning Shuyi followed closely behind, not being squeezed in half. The crowd separated by them automatically gathered back together behind Ning Shuyi like a tide.
If she hesitated to follow Huo Yan, she would be blocked by those people again, and it would take some effort to squeeze downstairs.
Back downstairs again, both of them breathed a sigh of relief.
"I really can't tell whether the pace of life now is fast or slow." Ning Shuyi squatted down and adjusted the sneakers that were almost stepped off just now. "Sometimes I feel that the pace of life is too fast. Everyone seems to be in a hurry every day, and they don't take care of many things.
But sometimes, you see, it doesn’t seem that fast. There are so many people who don’t have to work during the day and have time to gather around and watch the fun! "
The corners of Huo Yan's mouth moved slightly, as if he was amused by her teasing and wanted to laugh, but he held it back. There was almost no change in the expression on his face.
The two of them waited for five or six minutes. A short, middle-aged man hurriedly walked over. He looked a little panicked and didn't even bother to look carefully as he walked. When he was crossing the road, he almost tripped over a small hole in the middle of the road. .
"The landlord is here." Huo Yan said to Ning Shuyi.
Ning Shuyi also saw that person, and the two of them walked towards the middle-aged man. The three of them met and faced each other. Before she could speak, the middle-aged man asked first.
"Are you the police here to handle work?" he asked, wiping the sweat from his forehead with his hand, looking uneasy.
Ning Shuyi and Huo Yan showed him their ID cards, and the middle-aged man quickly introduced himself: "Thank you for your hard work! I am the owner of that house. I just received a call from you at work. I was so scared that I hurriedly called. A car is coming here!
What's going on. You said I was just renting out a house, why would I encounter such a thing? "
