Network New Liao Zhai

Chapter 12

"Sister Zhu, you're joking again. Are you still thinking about the water heater?" Xiao Li thought about her insistence that someone had been there.

"I didn't think about it, maybe I was really confused, haha!" Zhu Yan said haha.

"Sister Zhu, don't think too much, just stay in the house at night and write novels, don't go anywhere, lock the door, and don't open the door casually. If something is wrong, call quickly..." Xiao Li took the trouble.

"Don't worry! Brother, I have free bodyguards tonight." Zhu Yan said proudly.

Xiao Li kept sending Zhu Yan upstairs, watching her enter the door before leaving.

"Sister Zhu, don't be careless." Because it wasn't certain whether someone had actually sneaked into the villa, Xiao Li had to be careful.

"Don't worry! I know it in my heart." She still has confidence in her own safety, and she has never sensed that she is in danger.

Anyway, the little policeman is coming tonight, you can mention it to him then.

When Zhu Yan entered the bedroom, the first thing she did was take a telescope to observe the convenience store.Ha ha!Almost voyeuristic.Zhu Yan laughed at himself.

The doors and windows upstairs and downstairs of the convenience store are closed. I remember when I went out in the morning, Zhu Yan glanced at it like this. It seems that the proprietress didn't open the door all day today!It's still comfortable to roll in bed on a cold day!

Thinking like this, Zhu Yan is really wrapped in the quilt and ready to code. It's still early before it's dark, and it's even before 12 midnight, so hurry up and code!

The coding time really flies by!By the time one chapter was finished, it was already dark and the room was dark.

Zhu Yan rubbed her eyes, turned on the light, got used to it, then lay on the windowsill, quietly lifted the corner of the curtain, and pointed the telescope at the convenience store.

The lady boss's room was lit, but the curtains were drawn, and nothing could be seen.

It's not even 8 o'clock now, and I don't know when the little policeman will come. Let's get some food first.Zhu Yan found a pack of biscuits and prepared to boil water to make coffee, so she won't eat instant noodles tonight.

In the kitchen, Zhu Yan waited for the water to boil, and subconsciously looked at the water heater outside the window.

Suddenly, with another bang, the water heater ignited again.

how?here we go again?

Although the move is old, it is very effective.

Zhu Yan was still startled suddenly.

Someone is really next door!

Standing in the kitchen with bated breath, I thought: I didn't see it!Or when you didn't see it?

Zhu Yan ran back to the room and took her mobile phone. She took a picture of the water heater outside the window. There are pictures and the truth. Now Xiao Li and the others will not say that my eyes are dazzled, right?

Just as I was about to call Xiao Li, the water heater stopped again. Are you leaving?

Zhu Yan walked to the door lightly and looked out from the cat's eye.

The three doors on the ninth floor are side by side, and the door next door cannot be seen at all. Zhu Yan can only see the elevator door on the opposite side and the stairs next to it.

He quietly opened the door and went out, putting his ear against the next door to hear if there was any movement inside.

Nothing was heard.

Wait... there seems to be footsteps?

How to do?Zhu Yan's brain turned abruptly, she ran upstairs quickly, and hid at the corner of the stairs on the ninth and tenth floors.

The footsteps came to the door, and Zhu Yanxin said: Come, come.

The door of the next room opened, and a figure flashed out, wearing a hat and mask, looked left and right, and quickly went down the stairs.

Zhu Yan came down quietly, pressed the elevator, and quickly

Call Xiao Li, "Xiao Li, there is really someone next door. I saw him going downstairs just now. I'll follow him. Come over quickly, let's fight back and forth."

"Don't be impulsive, Sister Zhu, you just stay in the house and can't go anywhere. I'll come right over." Xiao Li over there is more nervous than she is.

"No, I have to catch him today,"

Zhu Yan made up his mind.Into the elevator.Go down to the first floor and chase out the door of the unit. There is not even a ghost outside, let alone a shadow.

Why!let him run.

Zhu Yan was regretting that she came down late, but she heard footsteps behind her, coming downstairs.

It turned out that he took the elevator down first, and that person took a step slower to take the stairs.

Zhu Yan dodged and hid in the green belt next to her, quietly took out her mobile phone, aimed the camera at the exit and turned on the video recording function.

Just after hiding, the man came out. He was wearing a black cold-proof suit, a hat and a mask. He couldn't see his face clearly. Only his eyes were exposed. He looked left and right, and headed towards the fourth phase of the project.

Zhu Yan watched him go, restrained her heartbeat, and wanted to follow quietly, but she was scared alone.Why isn't Xiao Li here yet?

When Xiao Li's sightseeing car arrives, that person

Has gone out of sight.

"Quick, quick, he's going over there."

"Don't chase it at night, it's too dangerous."

Only then did Zhu Yan notice that there was another person on the sightseeing bus, Zeng Cheng.

"How did you get together?"

"Sister Zhu, when you called me, police officer Zeng just said he was looking for you at the door, so he came together."

Zeng Cheng: "What happened? I didn't hear you in the afternoon."

"It's nothing? It's me who sneaked in next door."

"It's all our fault. Sister Zhu told us that we didn't pay attention to it. Fortunately, Sister Zhu is fine, otherwise... It's a pity that he ran away. There are no cameras at the entrance of the stairs and the corridor, otherwise you can see it clearly with the help of surveillance."

"Is there any surveillance over there?" Zeng Cheng pointed to the direction where the man disappeared.

"No. The fourth phase of the project has just started. There are only cameras at the gate and some main road sections in the entire villa. Other places have not had time to settle, and will be added in the future."

Zhu Yan: "I saw him just now, but he was wearing a hat and mask, so I couldn't see it clearly. But I have a video."

"Sister Zhu, you are so smart, he can't run away now." Xiao Li praised without hesitation.

"Let's go upstairs first to see what's going on, you can tell me slowly." Zeng Cheng suggested.

The three took the elevator to go upstairs, and Zhu Yan told Zeng Cheng what happened last night and what happened tonight.Hearing that, Zeng Cheng frowned.

After getting out of the elevator and looking at 903 next door, Zeng Cheng asked, "Did someone sneak into this room?"

"Yes." Zhu Yan nodded.

Zeng Cheng knocked on the door.

Zhu Yan and Xiao Li have the same idea: it would be nice if someone could open the door.

After knocking for a long time, no one came to open the door.

"Is there a key?"

"There is a spare key. Brother Wang gave it to me today. We have asked the owner's consent and are going to come in tomorrow to have a look."

"Didn't hear you?" Zhu Yan expressed dissatisfaction.

Zeng Cheng took the key and motioned for Xiao Li and Zhu Yan to retreat to both sides, and he opened the door.

"Wait a minute." Zhu Yan was startled.

The two looked at her and asked why with their eyes?

Zhu Yan quickly opened the door of her house and came out with a kitchen knife in her hand.

No, Sister Zhu, take the kitchen knife again.Xiao Li was speechless.

Zhu Yan: "Be careful, in case there are accomplices in there!"

Xiao Li held the electric baton, and Zhu Yan clenched the kitchen knife. With it in her hand, her sense of security exploded.

The two stared at Zeng Cheng from left to right.

Zeng Cheng took out the aura of a police uncle, opened the door and rushed in, followed by Zhu Yan and Xiao Li.

The room was dark, but fortunately, Xiao Li's baton was equipped with a flashlight, which could barely illuminate.

"Turn the lights on".

Xiao Li found the switch, and the room was lit.

The layout next door is the same as Zhu Yan's house, kitchen, living room, balcony, two bedrooms and bathroom.

The three of them looked at all the rooms. The furniture in the living room and the bed in the bedroom were covered with dust cloths, making it look uninhabited.

Zhu Yan focused on the kitchen and bathroom, where water heaters were used.

There was no trace of movement in the kitchen, a layer of ash had accumulated on the stove and the chopping board, and the sink was dry.

Pushing open the door of the bathroom, Zhu Yan smelled a faint smell of smoke, "Do you smell it?"

Zeng Cheng: "Yeah! The smell of smoke."

Xiao Li sniffed hard and nodded, "It's the smell of smoke."

"This person is either very addicted to smoking, and he can't help smoking after a while. Or he has been here for too long, and he sneaked in early and waited until Zhu Yan came back before he could move.

Originally, he could have done so without leaving any traces, came quietly, and left quietly, making Zhu Yan think that it was enough for him to look at it, and it was the smoke that revealed that someone existed.

Zeng Cheng pointed to the sink, "Look, it's wet with water stains. The nozzle is also wet."

There is a smell of smoke and traces of running water, not to mention yesterday at least proves that someone is indeed here tonight.

"Could it be a thief? Come in from outside, ready to steal something."

"If you were a thief, in such a big villa with so many uninhabited rooms, would you choose the one next door that someone lived in to steal? Why don't you say he just stopped by to take a shower?"

"That's right, how can there be such a stupid thief." Xiao Li scratched his head embarrassedly.

Zeng Cheng: "This man sat on the toilet lid and smoked, put the sprinkler in the sink, then turned on the switch, the water heater ignited, and the water flowed out of the sink."

"No wonder, the floor of the bathroom is relatively dry, and there is only a small amount of water stains near the sink. How do you see him sitting on the toilet lid?"

"You see there's more or less dust elsewhere, but the toilet lid is clean."

"Well, it makes sense." Xiao Li also took the lead in agreeing.

"You guys go to my kitchen and feel that I will turn on the water heater."

Zeng Cheng and Xiao Li ran to the kitchen of Zhu Yan's house next door and waited for a while, only to hear a bang, the water heater was lit, and it was working huhu.

The two turned back next door.

"Now you believe what I saw last night was true!"

The two nodded, believing it for a long time.

"If he wants to go upstairs, if he doesn't take the elevator, he must take the stairs. Because there are no cameras at the stairs. If I guess correctly, there should be his footprints on the stairs."

The three walked out to the stairs. Sure enough, there were footprints on the stairs, some from below and some facing down.It should be up and down again.

This building has been unoccupied for several months, and the stairs have not been cleaned, and the dust has accumulated. In addition, it rained yesterday afternoon, and wet footprints left footprints on the stairs. Although it has been a night, the footprints are still very large. obvious.

"Don't move these footprints and the room. I will report to the office tomorrow and send someone to deal with it."

The three locked the door next door and returned to Zhu Yan's house.

Zhu Yan made coffee for them.

Xiao Li drank coffee and said to himself, "Why did he do this? It's not a thief, and there's nothing to steal in this house? It's fun to run hot water without taking a bath? Smoking a cigarette on the toilet lid? And he came in secretly, and it was too late for others to hide it. Instead, he lit the fire with great fanfare. Isn't this telling others that he is here? What is he doing?"

Zhu Yan listened to Xiao Li's words, and a thought flashed in her mind, but she couldn't catch it.

"Zeng Cheng, you are worthy of being a policeman, and your analysis is clear. It is easy to explain that the elevator is not running. I will also learn to analyze it. Do you think that is the case?"

"We have now determined that someone has sneaked in. As for how he entered the villa, we can rule out the fact that he walked through the gate, as evidenced by surveillance. The villa is so big, and there are some hidden routes to enter, which need to be further investigated. The infiltrator Shortly after I got home last night, I also entered Building 11, pressed the elevator, but didn't get in. First, I probably remembered that there was a camera in the elevator, and he would be exposed, so I gave up decisively. Second, it was intentional, the purpose It is to create a terrifying atmosphere of unmanned elevator operation, in order to scare people. I guess it is the latter. Does it make sense?"

"Makes sense."

Zhu Yan continued: "Tonight this person sneaked into 903 next door again, hiding in the dark to observe, and when my kitchen light was on, I started lighting the water heater. The purpose was to attract my attention and know that there was someone next door, and once I asked the security for verification, the answer would be Obviously. The uninhabited water heater next door is on fire, and the elevator is unmanned and running, so the timid girl will think it is haunted. What will happen? Of course, run as far away as you are scared. !"

Xiao Li laughed, "But Sister Zhu, you're not too brave!"

"Yeah, I went to pat the door last night, but I guess people have left by then. Before I called you."
