At first, he had a vague feeling that this mysterious No. [-] had some kind of purpose that he wanted to achieve and had been using other members of the Eternal Parliament.

It is not completely certain whether this person is related to the disappearance of Mi Ran. Based on the current situation, it is very likely that he was responsible for the disappearance of Mi Ran at that time.

At least I got involved.

"So the murderer has escaped to Jiulin... But why didn't the task force find any trace of anyone else entering the museum yesterday?"

Officer Chen muttered to himself. He didn't know anything about ghosts, so he couldn't figure out how a person could quietly escape all police investigations and leave the scene of the crime.

"Anyway, I feel that this masked person is not simple. He is probably performing some kind of mysterious ritual."

"A mysterious ritual?"

"Well, it's hard for me to explain this discovery, but I feel that this person is very dangerous. If you, Officer Chen, want to arrest and investigate this masked person, you must be extremely careful."

"Okay, I will tell your findings to the task force responsible for Zhang Xiaocui's case and ask them to pay more attention."

After giving Officer Chen a few simple instructions, Li Gui hung up the phone and looked at the bulging backpack at the door, his eyes unable to calm down for a long time.

What is No. [-] doing?

for what purpose?

Is Miran's disappearance also a part of his plan?

And Sacred Heart Hospital...what does it have to do with No. [-]?

Does the word "Tian" and "Hospital" mentioned by my mother-in-law also refer to No. [-]?

There are too many questions in his head. Li Gui is now at a loss. He only feels that he is trapped in a fog. He can only see the final truth by moving forward until the fog clears.

"With this news, we can basically confirm that Mi Ran's disappearance is closely related to No. [-] of the Eternal Life Council. It can also provide more ideas and clues."

In addition to the mysterious No. [-], there are two other people in the Eternal Life Parliament. Liu Yunfei and Li Gui have already met them. He is speculating on the possibility of leading No. [-] through other members of the Eternal Life Parliament.

In the end, I felt that there was little hope, so I shook my head helplessly.

"No. [-] is cautious in doing things, and he already knows my existence. He didn't take action directly. He must have ulterior motives. It's probably unrealistic to lure him out directly. However, we can get some relevant clues about him through other members of the Eternal Council. This time can be provided to the police to reduce the number of investigation targets.”

Apart from No. [-], there is one last member of the Eternal Life Council that Li Gui has never met. Among them, the only one who has met No. [-] is Huang Mao from Anze Elementary School.

It's a pity that this man has been reduced to ashes, and no trace of his death is left, otherwise Li Gui could still get some relevant information out of him.

"There should be other purposes for going to Jiulin on the [-]st, and it may have something to do with me. It seems that you need to be more careful when traveling recently. By the way, let Officer Chen and others be careful."

After sending another message to Officer Chen, Li Gui simply washed up, looked at the time, and prepared to go to Yicai Apartment where Wang Xinlan lived.

"It's still a bit early, so go ahead and get a feel for the environment."

It wasn't the agreed time yet, so Li Gui didn't send a message to Wang Xinlan.

I just packed my backpack, took the things I needed to take, and took a taxi to Yicai Apartment with my notebook, ghost-killing knife, and the confused Xiaobai.

Resting at sunrise and working at sundown, this is Li Gui's current work and rest habit. He now has clear thoughts at night and becomes confused during the day.

It is no different from a real ghost.

Chapter 289 Yicai Apartment

Taking a taxi and walking through the bustling city, Li Gui finally arrived at the old city east of Jiulin City, where the floors are generally not high.

After passing through several fairly lively streets, the surrounding area gradually became quiet. After asking a few passers-by, Li Gui finally arrived near the Yicai Apartment where policewoman Kao Xinlan lived.

"She is a policewoman after all, so she is very brave."

The location of the apartment is very remote, deep in a lane next to the road, and taxi drivers are unwilling to drive over.

It was obviously the beginning of the bustling night scene, but the place seemed to have fallen asleep early. There were few passers-by around, and the dim street lights stretched Li Gui's shadow very long. He walked deeper into the road, and could occasionally be seen. A few stray cats ran past some trash cans, and rustling sounds could be heard in some of the long-dried and dead vegetation planted on both sides of the road.

"It seems that not all beauties have prominent families."

Li Gui walked deep into the road. In the middle was the iron gate for entering the apartment. There was a health code posted next to it. Through the gate pole next to the security hall, he could still see the desolate and dim scene in the community.

There was no one in the guard hall, and the small fence door was broken. Li Gui gently pushed it open and could walk into the entire community.

"The environment in this community is a bit too bad."

Entering the front yard of the community, there were several dilapidated buildings standing in front of him, and his huge figure was reflected in the thin moonlight.

The surrounding lights were dim, and no one could be seen. There was a faint smell floating in the air. There were several trash cans placed not far from the security door. No one had cleaned them for a long time. All kinds of daily necessities were packed in black bags. Garbage is piled together, the ground is filled with light yellow sewage, and flies are constantly surrounding it.

"Is she in a bad financial situation?"

Li Gui didn't know much about Wang Xinlan's personal situation, so he didn't know that she would live in such a place. He instinctively felt that the life of a policewoman in the police station should not be too miserable.

But coming here this time broke some of his perceptions.

It seems that there are also really beautiful beauties who still maintain independent and good conduct.

"Building 3, 401."

Li Gui had already sent detailed information about the landowner where he lived. Wang Xinlan lived in Unit 3. Li Gui turned on the lighting on his mobile phone and looked around.

On the right are residential buildings No. [-] and No. [-]. No. [-] should be at the deepest point in front of the left side of the gate. Li Gui walked over and found that there were different unit buildings on both sides of the area on the right. The two unit buildings at the front were They are No. [-] and No. [-], and there are two buildings in the depths. The four buildings form a narrow corridor with no lights.

While observing the surrounding environment, Li Gui walked towards the depths.

On both sides of the aisle, there were some messy things piled up. In addition to trash cans, there were some worn-out furniture and even some clothes that no one was wearing.

The door of each unit building was kept open. When Li Gui passed by, he would unconsciously glance inside. However, the lights were dim and he could only see an upward staircase and nothing else.

"found it."

After walking for about a minute or two, Li Gui discovered the six-story No. 2 apartment building deep in the alley, enclosed by a red brick wall.

At the door, various small advertisements are posted on the unpainted wall. A shabby green baby stroller is placed at the entrance of the corridor. There is no elevator. When you enter, you can only see a narrow stairway that twists upwards.

"As expected of a woman who dares to do something serious by herself. I don't feel at ease even if I come to this place late at night."

Li Gui looked at the time and saw that there were still more than ten minutes left before the eight o'clock he and Wang Xinlan agreed on.

"Go around her room first. Maybe you can find something else."

He did not call Wang Xinlan, but stepped directly into Unit 3, passed the stairs, and walked towards the fourth floor.

The room where Wang Xinlan lives is 401, which is the first room next to the corridor on the fourth floor.

The floors of the entire apartment are very low, only about two meters on the first floor. The stair guardrails are made of rusty iron. Every once in a while, there is a piece of red cloth wrapped around it and tied with a knot. Li Huiyi also found that there were holes in some corridors. At the corner, there will be a small trace of smoke and fire.

It looked like someone had burned something here.

The entire building was filled with a faint rancid smell. The smell was very light and could easily be ignored if you didn't smell it carefully.

"Boom!"

The lights on the stairs up and down were voice-activated lights. Li Gui had to stamp his feet every time he reached a floor. When he reached the corner of the stairs on the third floor, he found that the red cloth tied to the stair guard had changed. There were large chunks of cloth on it. The lumps were stained with something black and looked very disgusting.

"Crash evil?"

Not quite understanding, and not delving too deeply into it, Li Gui continued walking towards the fourth floor. The voice-activated lights in the entire corridor went out again. When he stomped his feet to turn them back on, something suddenly rolled out from beside the stairwell on the fourth floor. A small faded red ball.

The ball rolled down a little bit from above, bouncing up a little every time it passed a step, and finally stopped strangely at Li Gui's feet.

"Do I encounter these strange things wherever I go?"

Li Gui picked up the ball and raised his head. He didn't see any ghost at the stairs of the fourth floor. Li Gui frowned and walked to the fourth floor.

Putting his leather shoes back against the wall on the fourth floor, he took out the flashlight from his backpack and walked quietly towards the depths of the fourth floor.

There are only four families living on each floor of the apartment, which is very crowded. There are no lights in the entire corridor. Not far from the stairs leading up, is Room 401, where Wang Xinlan lives.

This female policewoman hasn't come back yet. She may have listened to Li Gui's words and went to stay in some crowded places.

"The fourth floor seems a bit too clean."

When passing each floor, Li Gui would take a special look inside. In addition to being extremely quiet, he could also see some small advertisements and children's graffiti.

But nothing was seen on the walls of the fourth floor. It was as if something terrible had happened on the entire floor and entry was prohibited. Even the all-pervasive small advertisements and the stinky children scribbling on the floor shrank away and hid far away. of.

After taking a look at the door of room 401 and finding nothing unusual, Li Gui turned his attention to room 404 opposite.

The soundproofing effect of this apartment building is very poor. From this position, he could vaguely hear the sound of a man arguing in room 404 without getting close.

Instead of knocking on 404's door rashly, Li Guixian approached, stood outside the door, and listened to the sounds inside.

Judging from the sound of the voice, the man in the room must be young, probably around 20 to 30 years old, but he seems to be in a very bad mood. He doesn't know who he is talking to on the phone, and his words are a bit hysterical.

Chapter 2 Doll Brother

"I didn't lie to you. I really didn't lie to you. Just three days ago, no, it was four days ago. Just four days ago, I saw it with my own eyes."

"There was a woman with long hair. She was lying under my bed. It was not a dream, it was real. She was under my bed, sticking her head out and staring straight at me. Her expression was as if she wanted to Just like killing me, she wants to kill me!”

......

"I'm not sick. I know exactly what I'm talking about, but it's no use. It's no use wherever I go. She has been following me. It's no use no matter where I go to sleep. And when I slept in the hotel during the day yesterday, I obviously slept in It was above the bed, but it turned out to be under the bed when I woke up at night, and I could hear it clearly. When I woke up, someone else was sleeping on the bed."

......

"I tried calling the police, but when the call came through, it was a woman's voice. She asked me to look towards the bed, and kept asking me to stick my head out and look towards the bed!"

.......

"It's definitely not a nightmare. Trust me. Everyone says I'm crazy. I don't care. Today, when I come back today, I'm going to fight her tooth and nail. Damn it, either she dies or I die tonight!!!"

I don’t know who he was talking to on the phone. The man in the 404 room became increasingly unstable. Li Gui took out the ghost-killing knife from his backpack and left silently.

Walking towards the room 403 next door, there was no sound in 403, it was very quiet, as if the people living there had not gone home yet, but at the door of the room 403 he had just left, room 404 was slowly opened.

The man who was talking on the phone just now poked his head out. He was holding a phone in one hand and a sharp fruit knife in the other.

He was pale and unshaven. He was obviously young, but he looked very haggard, as if he hadn't rested for several weeks.

"I'm here to visit a friend."

He hid the ghost-killing knife behind his back and pointed to room 402 in front of him. Li Gui smiled on the surface, but was silently on guard in his heart.

This man seems to be entangled with some strange things, and his mood has become very unstable, which can easily cause accidental injuries. It is best to keep a certain safe distance from the other party.

"Quick, hurry up, this place is not for the living."

But it was different from what Li Gui had guessed. Although the young man had a fierce expression when he first came out, when he discovered that he was a stranger, his expression turned frightened and nervous again.

He also quickly reminded him a word or two.

But before Li Gui asked, he closed the door suddenly and walked into the house again. He could vaguely hear his roar coming from inside, and kept repeating the sentence "I will fight with you, I will fight with you." talk.

"This place is obviously not clean. Why did Wang Xinlan want to live here?"

The door of room 403 was locked. Li Gui turned around and tried to pull the door of room 402 again. To his surprise, the door of this room could be opened easily.

The door lock had been violently damaged, the lock cylinder had been lost, and it had not been repaired.

"Yiyi isn't around, so it's better to be cautious."

Without daring to walk into room 402, Li Gui opened a small gap, turned off the flashlight, took out the ghost-killing knife and Xiaobai, and cautiously looked inside through a narrow crack in the door.

Without the use of other lighting, there seemed to be a dim light flickering in the room. It was an old-fashioned big-ass TV, and an old recliner was placed in front of the TV.

Due to the viewing angle, it is impossible to see the rest of the entire living room. What is strange is that the TV does not turn on any sound, and the pictures played on it are also black and white.

It seemed to be a news program that had been discontinued a long time ago. Because the TV screen kept flashing and the signal was very unstable, Li Gui couldn't tell what was being broadcast on the news.

"Uncle, what are you looking at?"

After staying at the door for two or three minutes, Li Guizheng was about to take out his mobile phone and take pictures of the news program on TV, but suddenly the voice of a little boy came from beside him.

Suddenly, he felt a chill surge from his spine to his brain. Li Gui instinctively took a few steps back. With the ghost-killing knife in his hand, he almost instinctively slashed at the little boy next to him.

"Uncle, it's not good to peek into your mother-in-law's room."

But he was not frightened at all by Li Gui's appearance. The little boy who suddenly appeared kindly reminded this uncle who looked very scary.

At this time, Li Gui discovered that when he was looking at room 402 with all his concentration, a little boy walked up to him silently.

He looked to be about six years old, with a mushroom haircut, wearing a faded Superman T-shirt, and holding a small rubber ball that he placed at the door.

"I'm sorry, I'm just curious. What's your name, kid?"

Holding the ghost-killing sword in front of him, Li Gui's expression was gentle but guarded.
