Chapter 68 Strange Neighbors
"No, it's still wrong!"

Lin Jue quickly denied this speculation. Although this conjecture seemed to form a logical closed loop, it had a big loophole.

That is, why did the landlord pretend not to know Wu Fang?
There is no benefit in doing this, and it is impossible to deceive Fu Yu, after all, Fu Yu knew Wu Fang before.

Unless the landlord knows that he is not the real Fu Yu.

But this is even more impossible. The shop owner also knows Fu Yu. When Lin Jue went there just now, the other party didn't notice anything unusual at all, which means that he now fits the role of Fu Yu perfectly. The landlord should not be able to see any flaws.

All reasoning was overturned and things returned to the starting point.

Lin Jue rubbed his eyebrows and suddenly heard the sound of a door closing from Room 3 next door, followed by the sound of high heels stepping on the floor, crossing the public corridor outside and going downstairs.

Wu Fang went out.

What is she doing out at this hour?
Lin Jue walked to the window, opened the curtains a little, and looked outside.

From the window, you can just see Yangtao Street outside.

On the deserted street, Wu Fang, wearing a black long dress, walked alone into the distance and soon disappeared at the end of the dark street.

Do you want to follow and see?

It's not safe for a girl like her to go out at night. Besides, the script itself requires voyeurism, and secretly following is an advanced version of voyeurism.

Lin Jue walked out of the door quietly. In order to prevent the door from making too much noise when closing, he just closed the door gently.

As soon as he stepped outside the room, he noticed something was wrong.

It's cold.

It's like suddenly opening the freezer door with your bare chest, and the cold air that hits you in the face makes you shiver.

Although it was late summer and early autumn, and the temperature difference between day and night was large, the temperature would not drop to this extent at night, and he did not feel cold at all in the room.

Has something appeared again?

Lin Jue looked around, having learned from the lesson of the last "Liar" copy. He even looked at the floor, ceiling, and every nook and cranny, but didn't see anything.

The further you go into the corridor, the lower the temperature becomes.

Lin Jue stopped at the door of Room 1. He felt as if this house was supplying cold air to the outside.

I reached out and felt the gap between the door and the ground. There was indeed a cold air blowing out. When I listened closely, I could hear the whirring sound of the air conditioner in the room.

"Is Mr. Li really that hot? How low is the air conditioner? And the cooling effect is too good. The temperature of the whole floor has dropped."

Lin Jue lay on the door panel. In Room 1, besides the sound of the air conditioner, there was also the sound of Lao Li's teeth chattering.

"So cold, so cold."

Why do you turn the air conditioner so low when you feel cold? It seems to be very hot even in the daytime, so take off all your clothes.

Lin Jue was confused. After listening for a few seconds, he did not delay any longer. He went down the stairs and chased in the direction where Wu Fang disappeared.

"This woman walked so fast. It's only been a few minutes and she's nowhere to be seen."

The long street was empty all day long, and you could see the end at a glance. It was as if Wu Fang had disappeared out of thin air. Lin Jue walked for hundreds of meters without seeing any trace of her.

"She's in such a hurry, and she's running out at this hour. Could she be going to meet her lover?"

The tracking was fruitless, so Lin Jue could only walk back. The whole building was hidden in the darkness, without a single light, and it had a dead air, looking like an empty building with no one living in it.

He quietly went up to the third floor and stopped outside the landlord's door.

Disgusting noises could be faintly heard coming from inside the house; it seemed the landlord was hiding under the covers watching an R-rated film.

"This guy looks like his body is hollowed out. He has been sizing up Wu Fang with lustful eyes. Wu Fang probably doesn't like him."

Lin Jue completely ruled out the possibility that the landlord was Wu Fang's lover and walked quietly to Room 5.

This was the room where the salesman I had seen during the day lived. He had been on the phone with the door open, but when he saw me, he shut the door hastily as if he had seen a ghost. There were muffled sobs in the room, and you could even hear the man's low wails.

"My money, my money!"

"No! Please! Don't do this!"

I don’t know if this guy is having a nightmare or talking on the phone, but it seems like someone is trying to steal his money. For a fraudulent salesman, this is tantamount to stealing his life.

Lin Jue silently came to the last room, Room 6. The door of this room was closed during the day, but the landlord said that there was someone in the house, but he always stayed at home, rarely went out and never interacted with others.

There was a very soft sobbing sound coming from Room 6, and the person inside seemed to be covering his mouth and crying.

"My neighbors seem normal during the day, but why do they become a little weird at night?"

Lin Jue walked back along the corridor. Just as he reached Room 4, the landlord's door opened. The other party was holding a cell phone and looking at something with a lewd look on his face. When he saw Lin Jue, he was frightened and quickly turned off the phone.

"Fu Yu? Why are you going upstairs so late at night?"

"I can't sleep. The room is stuffy. I came out to get some fresh air." Lin Jue looked at the other person. The landlord was only wearing a pair of thin pajamas with some scarlet spots on them, like plum blossoms painted on them, or like blood splattered on them.

"Go to bed early, it's so late." The landlord muttered and closed the door.

"As soon as he saw me, he gave up going out. Where was he going when he opened the door just now?"

Lin Jue touched the scar on his face, held the handrail of the stairs, and walked down the stairs with one step deep and one step shallow.

He stopped outside his door and just as he inserted the key into the lock, he stopped suddenly.

"Did you close the door when I went out just now?"

"Did the wind close the door?"

He stretched out his hand and felt the air. The wind on the summer night was not strong.

"It seems that the wind really blew the door shut..."

"How could someone break into a house in this remote place?"

Lin Jue spoke casually while suddenly opening the door.

The room was silent. From the door, one could see the entire room, and there was no sign of anyone.

no one?

Lin Jue searched the house carefully, even under the bed and in the corners of the closet, but found no signs that anyone had entered.

Everything was in its original place, with no signs of having been disturbed.

"No, someone came in."

He stopped at the door of the toilet. There was a basin on the floor of the toilet. In the basin was his white coat that he had soaked in during the day.

And on one side of the basin, there was a very faint footprint.

The footprints were wet and difficult to detect on the white floor tiles.

Lin Jue squatted down and observed the footprint carefully. Judging from the size, it was a man's footprint, so he ruled out Wu Fang first.

During the time he was away from the room, someone sneaked into his room and stayed in the bathroom for a while.

"Is it the landlord?"

Lin Jue first suspected the landlord because he was the only one who had the keys to all the rooms.

He reached out to wipe away the footprints, stood up and stretched.

"I was spying on others, and it seems someone is also watching me."
