Of course, one thing is basically certain.
The strange incident in Yinyuan Apartment Building is by no means just a case of ghosts causing trouble, there must be someone behind it.
Looking back now, perhaps Lao Dong was just one of the pawns in this weird incident, and the earphone incident was just a branch of this series of weird cases.
It's just that he happened to be sucked into the strange vortex of Yinyuan Apartment and became a part of it.
And what Principal Mei saw and considered may be just a branch of the strange incident in Yinyuan Apartment, and it was only a part of it.
In other words, the entire strange incident in Yinyuan Apartment may involve many small branch cases. These branch incidents influence each other, penetrate each other, and are ultimately intertwined, forming the complicated and confusing situation today.
Although these branch events can provide some clues, they still cannot fully reveal the entire big event and cannot break the overall situation.
Of course, you can slowly find out some useful information by peeling off the cocoons.
But Jiang Yue couldn't tell clearly when he would be able to dig out the core things by digging bit by bit like this.
How many gangsters are there in this apartment? Is the master behind the scenes the master Liu?
Jiang Yue fell into deep thought.
The existing clues in this apartment have basically been excavated. I originally thought that when I arrived at Apartment 1814, the truth would come to light.
Now it seems that the problem is still too simple.
Principal Mei's situation at that time could not provide many useful clues after all. His vision was limited after all. It was already good to be able to see that there was a problem with 1814, but it would be unrealistic to ask for more.
Jiang Yue naturally remembered the previous three playing cards, indicating apartment No. 1811.
This is also a clue.
But according to Jiang Yue's estimate, the ghost must have had some intention in giving this hint before it was on the verge of death. However, it is estimated that like old principal Mei, his vision is limited and he still cannot get to the core.
However, even so, you should always go and see it.
Anyway, 1811 is not far away, and there are only two apartments between it and 1814.
Just as he was about to speak, Jiang Yue's nose suddenly twitched. There seemed to be a faint strange smell in the air.
This breath seemed to be something burning, the smell of something burning.
As soon as the idea came to his mind, Jiang Yue noticed something was wrong.
Glancing outside, I found that the living room was instantly engulfed in flames.
When he first glanced over, he only saw a little fire. After this glance, the entire living room seemed to have been poured with gasoline, and it burned into a sea of fire in an instant. The area burned increased almost tenfold in one second.
The monstrous fire roared toward them like a living fire dragon.
Heat Lang rushed to Jiang Yue and the others without even saying hello.
Luo Chu groaned, never expecting that the fire started so suddenly and spread so quickly.
This caught people completely off guard.
Jiang Yue reacted quickly. The fire-proofing talisman he carried was activated instantly. He didn't care about avoiding any suspicion. He picked up Luo Chu and instead of retreating, he rushed towards the door.
Just as Jiang Yue rushed to the door, the security door slammed shut.
The lock tongue of this security door was broken by Jiang Yue before, so it was always open.
At this time, it closed automatically inexplicably, as if there was an invisible hand in the dark deliberately closing the door.
But can an unlocked door lock someone?
Jiang Yue pushed smoothly, trying to take advantage of the situation and rush out of the door. As a result, he failed to push the door open. He just felt the door move slightly, and immediately encountered a force of rebound, and the door was locked tightly. Closed.
This is to trap them alive in the sea of fire.
Jiang Yue sneered. If it weren't for the fire-proofing talisman by his side, he might have missed the mark this time and been plotted against.
Protected by the fire-proofing talisman, although the fire was fierce, it could not harm them for a moment. Luo Chu was carried on Jiang Yue's body and was within the protection range of the fire-proofing talisman, so he would not be injured for a moment.
Of course, Jiang Yue didn't intend to let himself be trapped in this security door.
Although I am not afraid of the fire, it is hard to say whether the fire-proofing talisman can be carried to the end after a long time.
Who knows if the other party has any other back-ups?
With all his strength, his whole body hit the door like a cannonball.
Only a few screams were heard outside the door, and the entire security door flew out together with the door frame and hit the opposite side of the corridor hard.
boom!
Black smoke billowed out of the corridor and fled the scene.
Another group of ghosts?
Jiang Yue looked at these escaping ghosts and knew that these ghosts were afraid of his own methods and did not dare to confront them head-on.
Strangely enough, the fire was actually well controlled.
When Jiang Yue and the others rushed to the corridor, they didn't feel the threat of the fire at all.
The fire was perfectly controlled in Apartment 1814, and not even a spark of fire leaked out. It was simply unbelievable.
Luo Chu was let go by Jiang Yue, and for a moment he was as silent as a cicada, unable to speak.
At that moment, he almost felt that the God of Death had arrived. Such terrifying fire could devour them almost instantly.
Who would have thought that Jiang Yue would carry him and run out unscathed?
Not even a few hairs were burnt?
The moment he was carried by Jiang Yue, Luo Chu didn't even notice the feeling of rolling heat, as if the monstrous sea of fire was an illusion, just an illusion.
But he knew that it was definitely not an illusion.
When the spitting fire dragon rushed into the bedroom, the heat wave almost made Luo Chu faint at the first moment. If Jiang Yue hadn't acted quickly, Luo Chu would never have been able to survive for five seconds.
Luo Chu stared at the sky inside and outside the house, still unable to understand how the fire started? And how to control it from spreading inside the house?
This apartment, which is just a card table and a mahjong table, doesn't have many flammable materials. Why did the fire burn so fiercely all of a sudden?
By the way, the app I’m using recently is supported by Android and Apple phones!
Is it a gas leak?
Or is the house full of gasoline?
Nothing like it!
Seeing that Luo Chu, who had always been calm, was a little distracted, Jiang Yue couldn't help but remind him: "Luo Chu, wake up."
Luo Chu was startled and regained consciousness.
I can't hold back like Mr. Ke.
"Xiao Jiang, it seems that we are getting closer to the truth. Our opponent can't sit still and has started to take the initiative to attack!"
It is not unreasonable to say that Luo Chu analyzed this way.
Jiang Yue made a gesture, telling Luo Chu to cheer up. Turned the corner and came to the door of Apartment No. 1811.
Since every move may be monitored by the other party, there is no need to dodge.
Just knock the door open.
The area of this apartment is not as large as 1814, but the layout is very reasonable. The most rare thing is that the room is very warmly tidied.
At first glance, the hostess seems to be the kind of woman who is neat and capable and good at running housework.
This quite coincides with the image of the ghost on the verge of death.
The background wall behind the sofa in this apartment is decorated with a photo wall, with many exquisite and small photo frames hanging on it, some large and some small, with many photos inside.
Although there are more than a dozen photos, there are only two people.
One of them is the woman in her thirties, and there is a boy who should be her child. The two people in the photo should have a mother-son relationship.
The photos obviously have a timeline, which is about one photo per year, from the time he was born to the latest photo, which shows a young man of thirteen or fourteen years old.
The woman transforms from the greenness of a first-time mother into a mature woman.
Although the photo has no story, it does reveal a message: the woman's husband and the child's father do not appear in the photo.
This is mostly a single parent family.
In the corner of the living room, a camp bed was folded and leaned against the corner without being unfolded.
In addition, there is a desk and a chair in the living room. There is no such thing as a coffee table or TV cabinet, not even a TV.
The layout of the bedroom is also very simple. The bed is the simplest wooden bed, and the cabinet does not look new. When the wardrobe is opened, the clothes between mother and son are placed on each side. It seems that there are not many clothes.
Especially for a woman in her thirties, this amount of money is definitely shabby.
Jiang Yue looked around, feeling a little confused for a moment.
When the ghost woman was about to die, she left her room number. What did she want to express? It doesn't look like there are any weird clues in this apartment.
A perfectly normal apartment building.
There's no reason why, when you're on the verge of destruction, you still have the heart to make such a big joke, right?
However, Jiang Yue immediately remembered the sadness, attachment, and emotion that penetrated the human soul before the ghost's death, but it didn't seem to be fake.
At that time, her eyes were full of reluctance, and she obviously couldn't let go of something.
So, does she actually want to entrust her with something?
What else can a ghost not let go of when it is about to die?
if so……
Jiang Yue looked up at the photos on the background wall, looking at the timeline of growing up from a baby to a handsome young man year by year...
Is it her son?
What she can't let go of is her son?
Could it be that her son was not in the apartment building? No one killed yet?
This conjecture suddenly made Jiang Yue's heart move.
The reluctance and uneasiness in the eyes of the ghost woman could not help but come to mind.
If the kid wasn't in the apartment, what did she have to worry about?
If the kid wasn't in the apartment, where would he be at this moment?
Jiang Yue walked to the desk and quickly found the answer. Jiang Yue found some clues about the child on the desk shelf.
Star City No. 1 Middle School!
This child is thirteen years old and goes to school in Xingcheng No. 1 Middle School.
Jiang Yue guessed that this child should be a boarding student. This can be seen from the camp bed in the living room. This camp bed is not opened at ordinary times and is only used when returning home on weekends.
And many things on his desk are not used very frequently, which also proves that this child is not at home every day.
If you are a boarding student, you can only go home once every weekend.
"Luo Chu, what day is it today?"
"Friday..." Luo Chu replied subconsciously.
"Are you familiar with Xingcheng No. 1 Middle School?" Jiang Yue suddenly asked again.
"I've been there a few times."
"When can boarders in No. 1 Middle School usually go home?"
"Let me think about it. I remember passing by Star City No. 1 Middle School often. They have a night study system. It seems that the day students can't go back after nine o'clock in the evening. As for the boarding students, they must not be able to go back before the weekend, right?"
Jiang Yue looked at his phone and saw that it was now around 8:40 pm.
Before they knew it, they had been staying in the apartment for several hours.
Jiang Yue's brows twitched.
Today is Friday. If the weekend is off, then wouldn’t it be the time for the child to go home after evening self-study on Friday night?
For a moment, Jiang Yue suddenly understood the meaning of the woman's eyes.
She was worried that her son would come home from the weekend break, enter the apartment, and break into this hell.
Even if she becomes a ghost, she does not want her child to follow in the same footsteps. She still hopes that her child can live well. The child is still young and should not die like this!
This was a great maternal love that moved Jiang Yue.
Jiang Yue couldn't sit idly by and ignore it.
However, including the time the child spent on the road, the trip would not have lasted more than an hour.
How to prevent the child from coming back in this hour? In other words, if the child comes back, how to ensure that he will not be killed immediately?
Go downstairs to intercept the other party. It's definitely too late to go downstairs now.
However, after they entered this apartment building, could they really go downstairs?
Jiang Yue has never been optimistic about this.
Calling the other party to inform them is obviously unrealistic.
Firstly, there is no contact information, and secondly, the mobile phone signal is completely blocked, making it impossible to make calls at all.
Jiang Yue searched the bedroom, trying to find more useful information. There was a cabinet drawer in the bedroom that was locked.
The lock of the drawer was very fragile, so Jiang Yue pulled the drawer open with a gentle tug.
The first thing I saw was a bank card with a note attached to the side of the card.
"Zijian, the card contains all our family's savings, and the password is our family's general password...Mom loves you!!!"
The note was written in a hurry, but Jiang Yue could tell that the person who wrote it obviously had a thousand words to say, but in the end it only turned into four words, Mom loves you.
If you use four words to replace a thousand words, is it too late to write more, or is it inconvenient to write more?
Jiang Yue couldn't control himself for a while.
He thought of his mother and the dream he had every day some time ago.
If the mother had no accident, she should love her children as much as this mother does, right?
Luo Chu was attacked by fierce fire before, but this time he was much more careful.
When Jiang Yue was in the back room, he used the wall as a cover and observed everything going on outside.
Suddenly, Jiang Yue gently pushed the drawer open.
He ducked to Luo Chu's side and whispered, "Someone is coming!"
Someone is indeed coming!
He actually heard footsteps, very real footsteps! The footsteps came from far away and were brisk, sounding extremely cheerful!
In this weird apartment building, where ghosts were lingering everywhere, there were such light footsteps. Jiang Yue and Luo Chu felt obviously not relaxed, but shocked, even a little frightened.
When the footsteps approached 1811, they actually stopped.
They actually heard the sound of the door being pulled open.
At the same time, a young man's voice came: "Mom, why don't you close the door? Is there a power outage in the apartment? These dozen or so steps are exhausting me!"
mom?
Jiang Yue and Luo Chu felt an absurd feeling at the same time.
Is that the child in the photo home?
Isn't there evening self-study at nine o'clock? It's not even nine o'clock, why are you back?
