Shen Xing turned his head and glanced at Feifei. He also had a feeling that the yin energy in this room was very heavy. I don't know if it was a psychological effect or other reasons. In short, he didn't feel very comfortable.
"You wait outside the door first, and I'll open the window to ventilate the room."
Thinking that children should avoid unclean things as much as possible, Shen Xing gave instructions and walked into the house. He pinched his nose and opened all the windows in the living room. Then he went to the bedroom and bathroom and opened other windows as well.
The ventilation in the room was better, but the light in the third floor was not very bright even during the day, so he simply turned on all the lights in the room.
I went to the bathroom to get a basin of water, soaked the rag and started to wipe the table, sofa, TV cabinet...
After entering the house, Feifei picked up the broom and walked into the bedroom, carefully sweeping away the dust from inside.
This room was indeed very dirty, because the sheriffs entered the place countless times after the murder, and they were cautious before they first investigated the scene for fear of destroying traces of the crime.
But after collecting the evidence at the scene, the sheriffs no longer worried, leaving countless footprints in the house, and because no one had been there for a long time, the furniture was covered with a layer of dust.
The two of them worked separately. After Feifei cleaned the back room, Shen Xing also wiped down all the furniture.
Looking at the floor in the living room, Shen Xing raised his head and said to Feifei: "I will clean the living room."
After he finished speaking, he went to the bathroom to wash the mop, and after wringing out some of the water, he took it and walked directly to the door of the living room, squatting down and looking at the ground.
There was a lot of dark dirt solidified in the floor tile patterns and gaps. At first glance, I thought it was just dirty, but Shen Xing knew very well that these were dried blood stains.
In order to prevent Feifei from being reminded of the terrible memories deep in his heart by this scene after cleaning here, he chose to clean up this place first.
Use the mop to wipe it over and over again, then wrap it in a strip with a rag, and wipe away all the blood in the gaps between the floor tiles bit by bit. After mopping it again, make sure that there is no more solidification in this place. of blood.
After doing this, Shen Xing felt something strange behind him. He looked back and saw Feifei sitting on the sofa, staring at the ground he was cleaning without blinking, with tears in his eyes.
After seeing Shen Xing looking over, she immediately reached out and wiped her eyes with her sleeve.
He lowered his head and opened his schoolbag, took out the textbooks and toys inside, and walked to his bedroom.
Shen Xing sighed softly in his heart and said, "Don't go to bed yet. You need to change the sheets and bedding. You also need to take the cotton wool outside to bask in the sun to kill the mold."
"Well, I'll clean up my desk." Feifei replied from inside.
After cleaning all the floors in the living room, at this moment, the musty smell in the house finally disappeared.
Shen Xing stood up. If he had worked with his back hooked for a long time in the past, his waist would have started to ache long ago, but now after his physical strength increased, he felt nothing at all.
He packed the unwanted things in the house into garbage bags and carried them to the stairs, preparing to go downstairs and throw them away later.
Shen Xing returned to the room and sat on the sofa to rest while observing how his workbench and wooden carving shelves could be accommodated in this room.
Not only these, there are also Ye Ting's clothes and daily necessities upstairs. The original owner of these things did not throw them away, but kept them well.
Now Shen Xing has no intention of throwing them away. The room downstairs is spacious, and it will be easier to find a place to put these things.
Taking advantage of the moment of rest, he took out his mobile phone and looked through the photos he had just taken.
This was taken earlier when I signed the adoption agreement at the Civil Affairs Office. According to the procedures, I cannot directly take away the agreement now. I must go through another three-month observation period before the authorities will officially issue it to me.
Of course, he can take a photo in advance, which can be used as a basis for retention.
His fingertips slid past the photo, showing the surveillance video that Sheriff Ma Jinlong sent to him last time.
Shen Xing hesitated for a moment and opened the video again.
A familiar picture is displayed. This is the last picture of Ye Ting that can be found so far.
"Xiao Shen! Xiao Shen!"
At this moment, a middle-aged woman's voice came from the stairs outside the living room.
Shen Xing looked up and saw Aunt Shen, who lived on the fifth floor and had the same surname as him, standing there with a surprised look on her face, her eyes wide open, staring at him almost in horror.
Shen Xing quickly put down her phone and walked out.
"Aunt Shen."
"You...you...why...this room...that woman..." Aunt Shen had become incoherent.
Shen Xing knew what she wanted to say, smiled and said: "Don't be nervous, don't be nervous! That's it, I have adopted Lin Wanru's daughter Lin Feifei, and I want to live in a more spacious place, so I am cleaning the room here with Feifei. Ready to move in.”
Aunt Shen still looked horrified, as if she was listening to a book from heaven. She didn't know whether she understood it or not, but she just shook her head: "You are so brave in this room... then... Miss Lin, I heard that she died very badly." ...It's scary! Just...lying in that place..."
As he spoke, he stretched out his hand to point to the living room door, but Aunt Shen seemed to be suddenly afraid of something, so she quickly retracted her hand and walked quickly upstairs.
After taking two steps, she turned back and warned uneasily: "Go to the 'Old Liu Fortune Teller' at the end of the street and invite Liu Yishou over. Even if you want to live there, you have to invite someone to perform rituals at home."
After speaking, Aunt Shen seemed to be followed by something behind her. She jogged all the way, taking three steps and two steps at a time, and disappeared at the corner above the stairs. Her speed was faster than catching the bus in the morning or going to the supermarket to buy discounted goods. Nothing less.
Shen Xing laughed dumbly and stared at the stairs. After a while, he muttered to himself: "Liu Yishou, isn't he selling grilled fish?"
Back in the house, Feifei had finished cleaning up the bedroom and came to the living room. She might be thirsty. She originally wanted to pour water from the water dispenser, but then she thought that the water must have been undrinkable after being left for so long.
"Go up and drink later. Tomorrow I will clean the water dispenser and replace it with a bucket of clean 'Lehehe' water." Shen Xing said.
"Yeah." Feifei nodded, picked up the schoolbag on the sofa, and prepared to put it back in the bedroom.
But then she pointed to the mobile phone on the table, and the screen of the mobile phone was still lit at this moment.
"Uncle Shen, was the video on your phone just now taken by you, Aunt Ye?"
Shen Xing glanced at the phone with the screen on, thinking that he was in a hurry to go out just now, and maybe he didn't pay attention to turn off the video. Feifei saw it, and then shook his head and said: "No."
"Oh." Feifei walked to the bedroom door with her schoolbag and whispered softly: "Aunt Ye was looking at me in the video just now. I thought she found you secretly filming her."
Hearing these words, Shen Xing's whole body trembled.
"What?! Can you see it?"
