Yingmuting lowered her head and was silent for a while, then said softly: "I also know that I am just fanciful. But I really don't want to believe that this is true! I would rather believe that they are all still alive."
I walked over, caressed Yingmuting's shoulder, and said comfortingly: "Okay, Yingmuting, don't think about it anymore! We have been to the scene of the crime and basically can't find any useful clues, so we will go back and wait for the police." Look at the results over there, maybe the police will have more clues!"
Yingmuting could only nodded sadly! The two of them walked out of the classroom where the crime occurred in despair!
When I was about to walk out of the teaching building, I suddenly stopped. Because, I suddenly felt that there seemed to be a very weird and unreasonable phenomenon, or signal, stimulating a certain nerve in me, right here!
And this signal seemed to have been caught by me unintentionally during the journey from the classroom door to the teaching building door, but where exactly was it strange? It was just a momentary feeling, and I couldn't recall it for a moment.
Yingmuting asked: "What's wrong, Datou?"
I said, "Do you feel that there is something unreasonable about this?"
Yingmuting looked around cautiously, shook her head and said, "I didn't find it."
So I walked back slowly and looked around carefully! Strange, what is wrong with my mind now? Seems a lot slower. Just now, when I was scanning the surroundings, a strange signal obviously appeared in my mind, but now I can't recall it at all!
When I almost gave up! Suddenly, there was a sound that sounded light and sometimes heavy, as if someone was arguing, and the sound seemed to be in this building!
I turned my head to look at Yingmuting, and she was staring at me in surprise with her big bright eyes!
I asked: "Did you hear it too?"
"kindness."
"What did you hear?"
"The sound of two people quarreling!" Yingmuting said.
"from where?"
Yingmuting stopped talking, calmed down and listened for a long time, and then tentatively said: "Upstairs?"
I glanced upstairs along the stairs. I suddenly understood! Because I finally discovered where it was that made me feel weird and unreasonable just now! There was a row of faint footprints, all alone along the stairs, extending to the second floor.
This is a teaching building that has been sealed for five years. It was opened by someone unknown just the day before yesterday. The purpose of opening it was to kill people. The killing place was on the first floor! For a weird old building full of the smell of death, I believe there will be no bored teachers and students taking a stroll here as a walking resort! So, who left the footprints leading to the second floor?
Bored student? Unlikely! Is it the police? If it was the police, then they must have a purpose, and they would not just leave a row of footprints. The murderer? What was the murderer doing on the second floor?
Now there is no doubt that the footprints were left by the people quarreling upstairs! But why is there only one row of footprints? Who is he arguing with? And why did you come to this ghost building to quarrel? Everything is getting weirder!
I turned my head and signaled Yingmuting with my eyes, and Yingmuting also looked at me and nodded! So, I looked around, picked up a half red brick on the ground, put it in my hand, and whispered to Yingmuting: "Follow me, and remember not to separate from me."
Yingmuting also nodded nervously in acquiescence! The two of them held the wall and tiptoed along the footprints to the second floor. However, the footprints did not stop on the second floor and continued to extend to the third floor!
At this time, the quarrel suddenly stopped! We lost our way for a while, but fortunately there were still footprints on the ground, so we continued to climb to the third floor!
The footprints stopped on the third floor. The footprints did not continue to appear on the stairs on the fourth floor, but strangely the footprints suddenly became messy on the passage on the third floor. There were multiple rows of footprints scattered chaotically towards the passages on both sides.
Yingmuting and I looked at each other and were stunned for a moment at the exit of the stairs on the third floor, looking at the empty and dark corridors at both ends, feeling at a loss!
The quarrels suddenly disappeared, and the footsteps suddenly became chaotic and directionless... everything suddenly became elusive!
I asked Yingmuting in a low voice: "Judging from these footprints, the people quarreling must be on this floor, but we still don't know exactly how many people there are! Now they have suddenly become silent, and they may have discovered us. Okay. Then do we still have to go through the passages on both sides?"
Yingmuting looked at me, thought for a moment, walked to the corner of the corridor, picked up half a brick, looked at me and nodded affirmatively!
I smiled bitterly. If a woman is aggressive, she is no worse than a man!
I paused for a moment and took out a gold-coated Guanyin image from my pocket and stuffed it into Yingmuting's hand. It was a nun who gave it to me in the name of alms when I was walking down the mountain a few months ago. He said it was worn on Stay safe!
Yingmuting looked at me doubtfully, and I whispered: "If the other party is really a ghost, this Avalokitesvara Golden Body will definitely work!"
Yingmu Ting gave me a grateful smile! So, with Yingmuting in front and behind me, I took the lead in searching the passage on the right.
Just after taking a few steps, I suddenly felt someone behind me. When I turned around quickly, I saw a figure running towards the fourth floor in three steps and two steps at a time! Without thinking, I clenched the brick in my hand and ran after him!
The figure rushed to the fourth floor without stopping, and quickly rushed to the fifth floor without stopping!
I secretly laughed in my heart: "This teaching building only has six floors. This idiot actually ran upstairs. Wait until I chase you to the top of the building to see where you go? Could it be that you jumped off the building?"
Just as I was thinking about it, I suddenly heard a scream coming from downstairs! Oops, it’s Yingmuting’s voice!
