It was probably because of the remote location of Yongmian Apartment that when he heard that Li Gui wanted to rent a hotel room, the supervisor there did not refuse immediately. Instead, he persuaded him to rent a guest room on another floor.

"But in this room, he..."

"There has been a murder, right? I know that, and I don't mind. As long as the price is satisfactory, anything is fine."

"This……"

The manager with a slightly childish voice had encountered such a guest for the first time. He knew that a murder had occurred in room 402, but he still wanted to rent that room. Is it just to make it cheaper?

"Why don't you consider other rooms on the fourth floor?"

"No, I want that room."

"Ok."

Li Gui's decisiveness made the supervisor there sigh and stopped trying to persuade him. However, in order to prevent anything from happening when renting a house in the future and causing him to be implicated, he still gave Li Gui a few friendly reminders.

"We rent a house here for at least half a year. The rent is 3000 per month. For room 402, it can be half cheaper. I will send you a detailed housing contract later. You can take a look."

Speaking of this, the supervisor hesitated for a moment, and finally decided to reveal other secrets of Room 402 to Li Gui.

The most important thing is that he is also worried that something will really happen.

"But I still want to explain to you, sir, that there is something wrong with room 402. The murder that occurred here was not simple at that time. Mr. Li, you can check it online."

"I know this. Besides murder, is there anything else?"

After all, he had a share of credit for solving the case at that time, but Li Gui himself did not ask for it to be made public. The most important thing is that the real owner is staying with him now, what can happen?

"Yeah, and it's very weird."

But to Li Gui's expectation, the man's tone was a little heavy, and he was silent for two or three seconds before he thought of his words.

"Although the murder case and the body have been found, and the murderer has been sentenced by the court, but just yesterday, according to the reports of the employees working in our hotel and the tourists staying that night, there were some strange sounds coming from the fourth floor."

yesterday?

Hearing this, Li Gui looked a little strange. Could it be that he made the noise when he went to the Blood Gate that day?

"daytime?"

"No, it was around 12 o'clock in the evening. And this morning I went to the room to check and found a lot of bloodshot eyes on the wall where the corpse was once buried."

"Bloodshot?"

The time mentioned by the supervisor was obviously different from the time Li Gui went that day, which naturally ruled out the possibility that those sounds were made by him.

But why weren't there these strange phenomena before? Could it be because he opened the bloody door of Yongmian's apartment, causing the resentment about Xue'er inside to begin to seep into the real world?

So from this point of view, does this have anything to do with those disgusting blood realms of the Eternal Council?

"Well, I don't know how to describe it. There are a lot of strange red thin lines on the wall, and they are inside the plaster. I hung up the plaster on the outside myself, but I can't find the cause."

Speaking of this, the manager sighed. He also used the excuse that a murder had occurred to buy the Yongmian Apartment at a low price, and then entered into a cooperative relationship with the Holy Land Tourism Company.

But who would have thought that such a ghost thing could happen after the case has been solved.

"Anyway, I've told you everything I need to say. If you still want to rent, I'll tell the front desk and you can come over to view the room at any time."

"okay."

Chapter 287 The Slender Ghost

Li Gui hung up the phone thoughtfully. Before he could put the phone away, policewoman Wang Xinlan called again for some reason.

"Are you so busy?"

After answering the phone, before she spoke, Wang Xinlan's slightly trembling and tired voice came from the other end of the phone.

"I'm sorry to bother you, Mr. Li."

She was keenly aware that something was not right about Wang Xinlan's current situation, and could hear a trace of fatigue and nervousness in her tone.

"Did something happen?"

It had only been a few days since she last said goodbye to Wang Xinlan. She wouldn't really have gone alone to the mountain villa where the mysterious disappearance occurred.

After a long silence, Li Gui seemed to hear her opening the door and leaving. After a while, the cold and charming policewoman spoke.

"That ghost is haunting me."

"Ghost?"

He didn't react for a while. It wasn't until the taxi drove downstairs of his apartment and Li Gui handed him cash and got out that he remembered the strange incident that Wang Xinlan had told him about her classmate's disappearance.

"Wasn't he eliminated?"

"I thought that was the case, but a few days ago, I went to the orphanage to visit Mengmeng, and she said that the strange uncle was back again, and he was following me."

When Wang Xinlan said this, she was silent for a dozen times.

"I initially thought it was just Mengmeng who had not recovered, so I didn't take it to heart, but that night, I was sleeping in the apartment where I lived. In my daze, I saw a tall man in a suit, nearly 3 meters tall, standing next to me. The bedroom door, and his face has no facial features, it is all white, just like the lanky ghost rumored on the Internet."

As if thinking of the signs of terror that night, Li Gui could clearly hear Wang Xinlan's frequent and heavy breathing due to fear.

"Then I woke up completely and the thing disappeared again. Only then did I realize that I didn't eliminate him last time. Instead, he might start to take revenge on me now. After that, I asked for leave and sent the dagger that my friend abroad sent me last time. I put it next to my pillow and waited for him to come over, and nothing unusual happened until two o'clock in the middle of the night."

"But when I was about to fall asleep, the guy appeared again. I immediately rushed over with a dagger, but he disappeared instantly, and the next day, he appeared in my room again, and he was completely different from me. The distance is getting closer.”

Unexpectedly, this policewoman was so bold and tried to solve these strange things by herself. Li Gui returned to the apartment, opened the door, returned to the bedroom, put down his backpack, and silently admired this policewoman.

"Where are you now?"

"In the apartment, I took a week off. I originally wanted to deal with him myself, but I couldn't think of any other way. I attacked several times but failed. And every time I fell asleep, he and I got closer and closer. I'm afraid Tonight, you will come to my bedside completely, so I called you, sorry to disturb you."

"You should have told me about this the first day it happened."

He sat on the bed and looked at the clock hanging above the bed.

At 12.37pm, he could still take a break.

"Send me your address and I'll find you tonight."

"Isn't this too troublesome? Why don't you, Mr. Li, just tell me other ways to punish this guy? I can try it myself slowly."

If it were any other girl, she might have been frightened to death by these weird experiences, but at this time, Wang Xinlan, even though she knew the danger, still wanted to solve it herself.

Should I say it or not, she is indeed a girl who can be a police officer.

Sure enough, he has a strong sense of independence.

"If it cannot be eliminated with a blood-stained dagger, it is no longer a simple ghost. The other party did not attack you directly. Maybe it has some other purpose."

"Then what should I do now?"

Wang Xinlan had no experience in dealing with this kind of incorporeal monster, so she could only choose to believe in Li Gui, which was much more useful than those ethereal and false ghost-exorcism tools on the Internet.

"You leave the apartment first and go to a crowded place for the time being. These messy things will not attack in crowded places during the day. You can take a proper rest. I will go find you tonight."

Wang Xinlan has already sent the location of the apartment where she lives. It is not far from her place and can be reached in 15 minutes by taxi.

"Okay...Mr. Li."

Just as he was about to hang up the phone, Wang Xinlan over there stopped Li Gui again.

"Ok?"

"Thank you."

"fine."

After hanging up the phone, Li Gui thought about the strange, lanky ghost-like man that Wang Xinlan mentioned. He originally thought that the man was just a simple little resentful spirit, but he didn't expect that he would become so troublesome.

Also, how could a resentful spirit that killed two adults be so easily eliminated?

However, according to Li Gui's previous understanding, generally resentful spirits cannot move in a large area and can at most harm others around the place where they died.

But why doesn’t that man, who looks like a lanky ghost, have no such restrictions?

Could it be that someone was helping him behind the scenes?

"Isn't it related to the Eternal Council again?"

Wang Xinlan's situation is a bit bad. The most important thing is that he may not be able to help in the past. Yiyi and Xue'er have fallen into a deep sleep. The only "surviving" ghost around him is Xiaobai.

Do you expect Xiaobai to subdue the lanky ghost?

Li Gui shook his head silently when he thought of Xiaobai running up to a man nearly three meters tall and repeatedly using the kowtow technique.

"I'll go there by myself. That weird monster has been actively attacked by Wang Xinlan many times, but he didn't take action against Wang Xinlan. Is it because of the limitation of his ability, or does he really have ulterior motives? Moreover, the blood gate of Yongmian Apartment is already there. After I turned it on, a change occurred. If it is not dealt with for a long time, does it mean that the resentment after Xueer's death will collectively come out, affect the real world, and eventually become the disgusting blood realm like the Eternal Parliament? "

As he kept thinking, there was a stabbing pain in his head. He didn't rest for almost a day and a night. Coupled with the continuous high-intensity tension of his nerves, Li Gui's body had already issued a dangerous alarm.

"It's better to get some sleep first. Maybe the situation is not as early as thought."

Li Gui put Xiaobai, who had made a great contribution, into the closet where he kept his underwear. After cleaning it up, he couldn't hold on any longer. He charged up his mobile phone, closed the bed curtain, washed himself briefly, and then lay down on the bed, fascinated. He fell asleep in a daze.

The sky was getting dark, and he had probably slept for a few hours. Before the alarm clock rang, a burst of cell phone ringing woke Li Gui from his sleep.

"Hey?"

Taking a look at the time, it was already 19.36 pm, which was not far behind the time when he was ready to go to Wang Xinlan's apartment.

"Li Gui, it's me, Officer Chen."

"Well, it's a museum case. Do I need any cooperation?"

Sitting up quickly, Li Gui knew that Officer Chen usually had nothing to do and would not call him.

"No, it's another important matter. There are new clues about An Mingran's disappearance."

Chapter 288 The Purpose of Number One

"A mysterious disappearance case?!"

I woke up instantly. I thought it would be difficult to get relevant clues since Officer Chen was no longer in charge of Xiao Jibao's case. I didn't expect that after so long, relevant discoveries were made.

"Well, I went home and checked my mailbox and found out, Zhang Xiaocui, do you know?"

"It seems to be the muttering mother-in-law?"

Li Gui was not sure. When he and Kui Ran were together, the other party rarely talked about her family. She only occasionally mentioned that her parents were very cold to her, especially her mother-in-law, who favored sons over daughters.

"Well, she was found dead yesterday under Leigu Mountain in Donghe Town, Jiulin City. According to preliminary forensic analysis, it was a heart attack caused by excessive fright. I haven't received the detailed autopsy report yet. Not sure yet, but..."

At this point, Officer Chen's voice changed. Li Guineng was on the other end of the phone and heard him flipping through information.

"There are still many unsolved doubts about the whole case. Judging from the distribution of residents in the village of Donghe Town, Leigu Mountain is a very remote place in Donghe Town, and few people go there. Zhang Xiaocui, as a 70-year-old The old man didn’t know why he ran somewhere in the middle of the night.”

"Could someone be threatening?"

"It is possible, but no evidence has been found yet. Zhang Xiaocui and her children lived separately. She was usually alone and rarely interacted with her neighbors. As for why she ran to Leigu Mountain alone in the middle of the night before her death, local villagers It’s not clear either.”

He accidentally saw the wardrobe drawer at the door being slowly pushed open from the inside. Li Gui walked over while holding the phone.

"Police officer Chen is suspected of being the murderer of Ni Ran's mother-in-law, and the person who made Ni Ran disappear?"

Opening the drawer, Xiao Bai inside stood up unsteadily, as if drunk, took out the cabinet and dropped it to the ground, with a pair of his own underwear draped behind him.

"Well, the most suspicious thing is that a few days before Zhang Xiaocui's accident, a passing villager saw her meeting a strange person near the mass grave in the village."

"weirdo?"

After pulling off Xiao Bai's underwear and throwing it back, Li Gui picked up Xiao Bai and stuffed her into his backpack.

"Because the characteristics are very obvious, the villager at that time can still remember. According to him, the person who met Zhang Xiaocui was wearing a white robe and a mask. He was about 1.7 to 1.8 meters tall and had A pair of black leather shoes."

"mask!"

After hearing the key information, a glimmer of light flashed in his eyes, and suddenly Li Gui's voice increased unconsciously.

"Hmm? Have you ever seen someone like this?"

Officer Chen's voice sounded a little confused.

"Well, just last night, when I escaped from the museum, I saw him appearing next to the mentally ill woman, exactly as you described, wearing a mask and a white medical robe, because I was He was busy running for his life, so I don’t know how he got in.”

After slightly changing his words and telling him in a way that Officer Chen could accept, Li Gui's expression gradually became serious.

According to the information shared with him by Officer Chen, the person who most likely killed Granny Weiran was the No. [-] member of the Eternal Life Council.
