Bang bang bang!
The banging on the door became louder and louder.
The elevator door opened, and the three of them had just stepped out of the elevator. The loud slamming sound made the door frame seem to be dislodged, and the wall panels fell down.
Mr. Ke, who was last among the three, turned pale and pressed the elevator down button, refusing to let go. As long as the situation is not right, he will not hesitate to rush back to the elevator and escape.
Luo Chu and Jiang Yue didn't seem to pay much attention to his actions. They both listened with their ears pricked up, as if they were in no hurry to investigate the crazy banging on the door.
Mr. Ke couldn't help but wonder whether these two people were a little abnormal.
The sound of banging on the door sounds very sinister, but these two people actually seem to be unconcerned and not panicked at all? Not curious at all?
A normal person would never go crazy like this when he breaks down the door.
This kind of door-smashing posture is unless it is a murder scene and someone is desperate to escape.
However, the door is closed inwards.
People from outside want to enter the house, but they can't get in without a key.
If the people inside want to come out, why do they have to smash the door? Doesn't it come out as soon as the door handle is pulled?
If you are at home in broad daylight, you won't lock yourself in the house, right? You need some insurance, right? Even if it's locked, you can still use the key to open the door.
Why break down the door?
Every time there was a hit inside, the anti-theft door vibrated obviously, as if the entire door frame might be smashed away at any time.
Luo Chu frowned and asked, "Xiao Jiang, what do you think?"
"Not like a normal person."
At this moment, the banging on the door suddenly stopped.
The screams inside seemed to have calmed down.
Instead, there was a heart-piercing crunching sound.
It's like a cat's claws scratching the door, or like a spatula scratching an iron pot, no matter how hard it sounds, it feels uncomfortable.
Crunch...crunch...
At this time, a sudden phone ringing came from the empty corridor.
The three of them looked at each other, stunned.
Immediately, Mr. Ke looked like a dish and gingerly took out his mobile phone.
After taking a closer look, I almost screamed. My hand shook, and the phone fell to the ground with a bang.
Spider lines suddenly appeared on the screen.
Ke summed up stammering, with a pale face: "It's... it's him..."
"Who?" Jiang Yue asked in surprise.
"Old...Old Dong..."
How could it be him? Wasn't it turned off when you called him earlier?
Jiang Yue and Luo Chu were also confused.
"Take it." Jiang Yue reminded.
Mr. Ke looked at the door of the apartment and then at his phone. Some hesitation.
But in the end, he gritted his teeth, answered the phone, and turned on the speakerphone.
"Old Dong? Where are you?"
In order to build up his courage, Mr. Ke asked first.
There was no response from the other end of the phone, but there was obviously a heavy breathing sound on the other end of the phone, like a low growl from the bottom of the throat from a wild animal.
This sound is unusual and creepy.
Mr. Ke's hand holding the cell phone was trembling. The poor cell phone kept shaking in his hand, which clearly revealed the fear in Mr. Ke's heart.
"Old Dong?" Mr. Ke called into the phone again.
"Cough cough cough..."
There was a violent cough, which sounded like he was about to cough up his entire lungs.
The coughing finally ended, and a slow and eerie voice suddenly came from the other end of the phone.
"Every one of you is going to die!!"
What?
This sentence was said low and slow, but the words were pronounced clearly, and Mr. Ke could hear it clearly!
Snapped!
The troubled mobile phone fell to the ground again, and the entire screen was completely shattered.
Mr. Ke was sweating profusely and was so frightened that his whole body was trembling. He couldn't continue acting anymore and had to cry and shout, "I want to go home. Let me go home!"
Jiang Yue was not surprised. This was not the first time he heard these words.
"Luo Chu, I want to go in and take a look."
This is a private house. Logically speaking, one cannot break into it at will. When Jiang Yue said this, he was actually telling Luo Chu that it would be up to you to clean things up later.
Luo Chu nodded.
Jiang Yue stepped forward and saw no effort on his part, as if the door was originally ajar.
He stretched out his hand and pulled, and the security door made a muffled sound, and the entire lock structure collapsed. The security door made a squeaking sound and was pulled open by Jiang Yue.
When the door was opened, a figure fell out almost at the same time.
A closer look revealed that it was Mr. Dong who Jiang Yue and the others had been tracking.
"Old Dong?" Mr. Ke was dumbfounded.
Jiang Yue blocked Mr. Ke behind him, stepped forward, and roughly pulled a pair of headphones from Mr. Dong's ears.
"you……"
Mr. Ke couldn't help being a little surprised when he saw Jiang Yue's rough movements.
"Mr. Ke, have you seen these headphones?"
Mr. Ke was shocked, but he still said truthfully: "Lao Dong once gave me a pair, saying it was an international brand. I have no interest in this thing. I forgot where I threw it. I haven't even dismantled it."
International brand?
High imitations are high imitations, no international brands.
Jiang Yue said: "Mr. Ke, you finally did something wise."
"What? There's something wrong with the headphones?"
"Anyone who has come into contact with this headset is either dead or close to death. If you have been using that headset, it may be like this. Or worse, it may have died."
Mr. Ke instinctively didn't believe it. It was just a pair of headphones. Is it that exaggerated?
But when he saw the ghostly appearance of Old Dong, he couldn't believe it.
I kept recalling in my mind, where was that damn pair of headphones left? It must be found and destroyed.
People at his level can naturally get some information, and he has naturally heard a lot about the coming of the strange era.
The Luo Chu in front of me is the director of the Operations Bureau. If someone came to visit him in such a serious manner, it must be related to a strange incident.
Mr. Ke was a little afraid to recognize the old Dong in front of him.
The old Dong, who was originally strong and well-proportioned, has become so haggard and thin after not seeing him for half a month.
Not to mention that Mr. Ke had not been seen for half a month. When Luo Chu and Jiang Yue saw Mr. Dong in the surveillance video, they almost couldn't recognize him as the same person.
The surveillance was only on the weekend of last week, and it has only been a few days?
In just a few days, no matter how serious the illness is, it is impossible to suddenly lose weight to this extent.
Hit evil!
This is the only explanation.
Jiang Yue walked in through the open security door. This was a single apartment, only sixty or seventy square meters, with one bedroom, one living room and one bathroom.
However, Mr. Dong is obviously a person who understands life, and the design is very stylish, even higher than the luxury rooms of five-star hotels.
Jiang Yue walked around the house and searched carefully, but found nothing unusual.
What puzzled Jiang Yue was that there seemed to be no trace of human habitation in this apartment. If Mr. Dong lived here these days, it stands to reason that the furnishings inside would not be so neat.
This kind of neatness is just like the neatness you see when you open the door and walk in when you first check into a hotel.
The sofa, bed, tableware, tea sets and other items were obviously untouched.
When they went upstairs, Jiang Yue listened specially at the door. He was very sure that there was no one in the apartment.
But they had just arrived downstairs. Why did Mr. Dong appear in the house again?
This apartment building has three elevators and a total of more than a dozen suites on one floor.
Perhaps, when they went downstairs, Mr. Dong happened to take the elevator upstairs. This kind of coincidence may not be impossible.
But looking at Mr. Dong like this, it doesn’t look like he can take the elevator normally.
And when going downstairs, Jiang Yue also glanced at the elevator. The other two elevators at that time, one stopped on the ground floor and the other stopped on another floor lower than this building, were both stationary and not running.
Therefore, the possibility that Mr. Dong took two other elevators to go upstairs at the same time as they went downstairs can almost be ruled out based on the time point.
If Mr. Dong took the elevator upstairs, the elevator should have stopped at the floor where Mr. Dong was located, or continued running to other floors.
There is no reason for one to be on the ground floor and the other to be parked on a floor lower than Mr. Dong’s floor.
There is another possibility that Mr. Dong arrived at this floor and someone else on the same floor pressed the elevator again.
But this rarely happens, because during the time Jiang Yue and the others were in the elevator, it was impossible for other elevators to run so fast. They would go at night and arrive at the ground floor earlier.
As for the elevator that stops at a lower floor, that's even less likely.
Generally this kind of residential apartment. No matter which floor you go downstairs, you will always go to the first floor or the underground parking lot on the first floor below. It is rare to go from one floor to another.
And in terms of time, it was too late.
After this analysis, Jiang Yue could almost conclude that the old director had been in this building before, but not in the apartment.
Then why did he return to his apartment after they went downstairs and still appear at the window? And why are you banging on the door like crazy?
Is it because of the curse brought by this pair of headphones?
What kind of magic power does this headset have that can torture a normal person like this?
Jiang Yue couldn't sort out any decent clues in his mind at the moment.
Previously, he had dug through the layers and found out the man behind the lottery, Mr. Dong. He thought that finding Mr. Dong would mean he had found the answer.
Now it seems that it is still too optimistic.
Dong Zong, who they suspected was the mastermind, suddenly became a victim.
This is not the scariest thing.
The most frightening thing is that when we get to Mr. Dong, the clues are suddenly cut off.
Mr. Dong’s interpersonal relationships are not something that a simple girl like Wang Chenyan can find out immediately.
These days, the workload of finding out who Mr. Dong has come into contact with and where he has appeared would be too large, too arduous, and almost an impossible task.
Moreover, no one knows where he got evil?
Jiang Yue checked very carefully, including even a small ornament in the apartment, but he still couldn't find any clues.
Jiang Yue even opened the shoe cabinet at the entrance and took a closer look.
Just as he was about to step out, Jiang Yue suddenly stopped again.
He turned around and glanced at the shoe cabinet.
There are several exquisite containers placed on the shoe cabinet, which contain some daily sundries, including some coins, various membership cards, business cards, various payment receipts, etc.
There is also a bunch of keys.
There are seven or eight keys in this bunch, and they all look similar at first glance.
Jiang Yue also noticed the hanging key at first, but didn't take it seriously. Each security door has at least six keys, and it is reasonable to string them together.
However, when Jiang Yue looked back for a second time, he still found something different.
These keys, although similar in shape, are almost indistinguishable. But upon careful comparison, it is obvious that these keys do not open the same door.
In other words, these keys are not all keys to the home.
Jiang Yue became interested, picked up the hanging keys, and tried them one by one on the security door.
When I tried the third one, the lock cylinder made a snapping sound.
This third key is indeed the key to this apartment building.
Jiang Yue continued to try until all the keys were tried.
Except for the third key, all other keys do not belong to this apartment.
A playful smile overflowed from the corner of Jiang Yue's mouth.
The shapes of the keys are almost the same. If you had not carefully identified them and tried them one by one, you would never have noticed this at first glance.
So……
What are the remaining keys for?
company's? Other properties elsewhere?
With so many keys and no special markings, how did he identify them?
Seeing this, Luo Chu couldn't help but ask: "Xiao Jiang, what's wrong?"
"These keys are interesting."
Jiang Yue looked around, looking at the apartments on both sides of the corridor, and suddenly had an inspiration.
"Luo Chu, Mr. Dong seems to be really rich. This apartment covers half a floor. It's really a big deal."
Jiang Yue said and picked one of the keys.
He inserted it into the security door of one of the apartments.
Incredibly, the lock actually opened.
Jiang Yue then tried one after another, and miraculously opened each one with accuracy. No one was tried twice.
All in one pass, once opened.
Even Mr. Ke was stunned.
"How rich is this bastard boss? He hides it very deep. I always thought he only had an apartment here."
Although this apartment only costs over one million yuan, there are eight apartments in this row, covering half a floor.
This place alone has a market value of 10 to 20 million, not to mention other more valuable mansions.
But, what’s the point of having money?
Seeing this old Dong who was so distraught and so thin that he looked completely different from a normal person and might even die at any time, Mr. Ke's thoughts suddenly changed.
At this point, what does it matter whether you have money or not?
"What kind of disease does this old Dong have? Why don't you go to the hospital for treatment?" Mr. Ke murmured.
"Do you really think he is sick?"
"What is that?" Mr. Ke's scalp was numb. In fact, he had vaguely thought of a possibility. The reason why he asked what the disease was was actually to comfort himself.
"You avoided the headphones, but you didn't avoid Jin Chan being manipulated. Now Jin Chan's calamity has been resolved, but whether he can avoid it in the next step and whether he will end up like this old Dong still needs to be Say something else."
Jiang Yue didn't mean to scare Mr. Ke.
The situation has reached this point and is obviously out of control.
Jiang Yue couldn't figure out how many evil spirits were behind this, and how many black hands were behind it.
Is all this really what Master Liu did?
