There were no surveillance cameras in the stairwell. The three boys were obviously familiar with the route. After entering the stairwell, the three of them let out a long sigh of relief.
"Which floor did we check to last night?" Zhong Fen asked, leaning on the staircase railing with his arms akimbo, looking at the two of them.
"It seems to be the fifth floor," Zi Zi Juan said, "Then let's go directly to the sixth floor?"
"OK."
The three of them were about to walk upstairs when the timid short-haired boy suddenly looked at Qin Yin and Wen Ling blankly, blinking blankly, "Why do I feel like someone is following us?"
Yo!
Qin Yin and Wen Ling were not surprised but overjoyed. They stretched out their hands and waved in front of An Tou's eyes with interest.
"No wonder it is said that timid people can easily see ghosts. It turns out to be true," Qin Yin said cheerfully, "Hey, no, we are not ghosts."
You two are not ghosts, just boring people.
"Who's there? Stop moji and follow me quickly." Zhongfen lost his patience and stood on the upper step and waved his hand at Chun Tou, "otherwise we'll leave you alone here and let the ghosts I’ll eat you directly.”
Cun Tou was so frightened that he peeed and followed him.
"Are they planning to find the fugitive hiding here like this?" Qin Yin climbed the stairs and gradually became suspicious of the three idiot friends of the idiot. "Actually, I have always been very suspicious of why they think this place is haunted because there are fugitives hiding there. ?Is it because of strong materialistic beliefs?”
"Clues." Wen Ling said seriously.
Even if these three little fools are not trustworthy, the fool's reasoning ability is still more trustworthy. Since the point of view put forward by the fool, there must be basis for it.
The fool must have found some clue.
"I don't know what kind of fugitive he is," Qin Yin muttered. "They said he was a fugitive who had killed someone, but there are many types of murderers. Manslaughter and murder are different."
Wen Ling nodded.
When they reached the sixth floor, Zhongfen clapped his hands and said, "Okay, this is it. Let's search."
Search?
After speaking, the three of them dispersed in three places and each began to carefully investigate the stairwell.
"I understand. What they are looking for are traces of the fugitive hiding here," Qin Yin said. "There are surveillance cameras in most areas of this building. Since that person was not photographed, it means that he must have been hiding under the surveillance camera." There are places that cannot be illuminated, so they check in these surveillance blind spots to see if they can find clues... This must be a fool's idea."
Wen Ling also agreed. She pointed to the three boys lying on the ground and asked, "Together?"
"That's okay," Qin Yin became interested, "If we make any discoveries, we can also point out these young men. I like to help others the most. Let's go!"
However, Qin Yin had no patience to conduct a blanket search. After a quick look around, she gave up on the sixth floor and pulled Wen Ling to go to the seventh floor.
"There's nothing here, let's go up and take a look."
Except for the labels hanging at the entrance of the stairs, there is not much difference between the stairwells on the seventh and sixth floors. They are both clean and bright.
"There's nothing on the seventh floor, let's go up to the next floor."
"First……"
Wen Ling grabbed Qin Yin and wanted to scold Qin Yin for his sloppy investigation attitude. Before he could find a way to speak, suddenly, a thin voice squeezed into their ears.
Their movements stopped instantly.
Qin Yin gestured to Wen Ling with her eyes, "Did you hear it too?"
Wen Ling nodded slightly.
The two pricked up their ears and listened quietly.
That sound was not the rustling sound of the three boys downstairs, but came from... upstairs.
"Eighth floor," Qin Yin lowered his voice unconsciously, "there is movement above."
"Go up?" Wen Ling raised his eyes and asked.
Qin Yin glanced across the stairs at the three boys who were still checking on the seventh floor, "They didn't seem to hear."
"very light."
Indeed, the voice was so soft that even though the two of them were standing on the seventh floor, they could only vaguely hear it.
"These three silly kids," Qin Yin shook his head helplessly, "Let's go up and have a look first."
The two held each other's hands tightly and stepped onto the steps step by step.
rustle……
That voice is also approaching.
It became clear.
Neither of them realized they were holding their breath.
When the sign of the eighth floor appeared in their eyes, they were both shocked.
The stairwell door is open.
The door was open, and outside the door was a long, dark corridor. The sound came from the corridor on the eighth floor.
Rustling... rustling...
There was a gentle scraping sound, like... something being dragged along.
The moment this idea appeared, Qin Yin and Wen Ling's scalps went numb.
Could it be...the murderer...
"Holy crap, the weird noise in the middle of the night that the security guy said could be this, right?" Qin Yin stood still, "It seems to be true."
Wen Ling frowned, pointed to the dark corridor and said, "Voice control..."
Although the monitoring area in this building is limited, the voice-activated lights are still very sensitive. The small sounds of the three boys on the sixth floor can make the voice-activated lights in the stairwell on the eighth floor light up. But in this corridor... why is it so dark? ?
There was obviously a sound in the corridor.
"I remember that the eighth floor is also a hotel," Qin Yin said, "The corridor on the first floor is the living area. Even if the lights are not on, why is the corridor in this hotel dark?"
Wen Ling stared at the black outside the door and swallowed, "Here he comes."
The voice had already reached the door.
The two of them were still standing on the steps, waiting anxiously.
Rustling... rustling...
Qin Yin stepped up a step and got closer.
However, the voice stopped.
Disappeared.
Qin Yin and Wen Ling looked at each other, with the same expression on their faces, confusion mixed with fear.
The voice seemed to sense the presence of the two of them and stopped at the door.
Like waiting for the two of them.
The three boys downstairs heard nothing, found nothing, and began to grumble.
"Still nothing was found," Zi Zi Juan said, "It's almost time, let's go."
"Let's look for a while longer." Zhongfen said.
"The cleaning lady will be here soon, and we will be discovered." Cun Tou said.
"I'm so bored... Let's go then."
The sound of footsteps was heard, and the three of them walked down the stairs and left.
Now, only the two of them on this side of the door are left, and... the thing on the other side of the door.
Qin Yin actually felt a trace of resentment for being abandoned. The three little fools left just like that. The two of them never expected that the two of them, who had been regarded as ghosts just now, actually encountered real ghosts.
The two froze in place for a long time, and Qin Yin said, "How about..."
Wenling then asked, "Go in?"
We can't wait here until dawn.
"This way," Qin Yin said, "I'll go in first. If there's danger, you run away."
Wen Ling grabbed Qin Yin's hand and said, "Together!"
"Then I'll count one, two, and three, and we'll stick our heads in to take a look."
"Um!"
"one two three……"
The two of them mustered up their courage and stepped in.
