My ghost wives all want to kill me?
Page 178
"My name is Zhao Chaoan, uncle, what is your name?"
"Just call me Brother Doll."
"Chao An, why are you running around? Didn't I tell you to wait for mom?"
Before he could ask the little boy for any other information, a woman wearing a blue sweater and holding a large flashlight walked over from the stairs.
When she found a young man holding a big knife standing in front of her son, she rushed over with a frightened expression, hugged the child and protected him behind her.
"Mom, this is the doll brother."
"Do not talk!"
Feeling a little embarrassed, Li Gui quickly hid the ghost-killing knife behind his back.
"Sorry, I used this for self-defense. There is no harm in it."
It wasn't until Li Gui explained a few more words and kept his expression gentle that the expression of the woman holding her son improved a little, but she still kept a little distance from him.
Li Gui did not take the initiative to walk over.
When he just communicated with the woman, he had already discovered that something was not right.
It is now November, and the winter season has arrived. The little boy is wearing a short-sleeved shirt, but the woman holding him is wearing a blue sweater, which looks extremely weird.
He didn't know if he was too sensitive. Anyway, the young man 404 had been roaring, but after hearing the little boy's voice, he instantly became quiet.
"No, I'm sorry, I'm just too nervous."
Standing up and protecting her son behind her, the woman looked a little embarrassed. She seemed to want to enter Room 403 next to Li Gui, but she was afraid of Li Gui and never dared to go there.
"It's okay. It's scary to be holding a knife at night. I came to see my friend. She didn't seem to be at home, so I just took a look. I just found that the door of 402 was opened, so I wanted to remind the owner inside. Home, lest any bad people come over."
"Is room 402 open?"
Chapter 291 Wang Xinlan
Hearing this, the woman's eyes instantly became frightened. She pointed tremblingly at Li Gui's side. She didn't know when 402 was closed, her expression slightly pale.
"The old man in 402 passed away last week. Because he was alone and had no children, his body was not discovered until it started to stink for two or three days. At that time, my son and I saw her being carried out with our own eyes. Where did she come from? No one will ever live in this house from now on."
"But I just saw the TV inside turned on."
"Is there no sound?"
Feeling a little excited, the woman pulled her child, leaned forward slightly, and took two steps towards Li Gui.
Behind him was the end of the corridor. There was no way to retreat. On the surface, Li Gui was thinking seriously, but behind his back, he secretly pointed the ghost-killing knife at the seemingly harmless mother and son in front of him.
"Yeah, and the screen is also gray and white. It seems to be a news program."
"That means she's back!"
The woman held her son's hand and began to tremble slightly. She didn't know how to explain it to Li Gui. After a few seconds, she stepped aside and spoke slowly.
"That old woman had bad ears and was somewhat deaf when she was alive. She couldn't understand much when watching TV, so she could only turn up the sound very loudly. Later, when her neighbors complained, she simply stopped turning up the sound and just sat in front of the TV and watched. The picture above, and it was always a news channel.”
The woman became more and more nervous as she spoke, her eyes fixed on Room 402 next to Li Gui, as if she could vaguely see the dead old man through the broken door.
"You, you'd better come with us quickly, don't stay here for now, and come back to your friends in a few days."
After saying that, the woman pulled her curious son and walked downstairs, but very slowly, as if she was deliberately waiting for Li Gui to join them.
"It's better to have someone to take care of you if there are many people. It's easy for us orphans and widowed mothers to get into trouble at night. Could you please send us down by the way?"
Li Gui made no move. He looked at the mother and son parked in front of the stairs, then glanced at the closed 402, and blocked the ghost-killing knife in front of his chest again.
"Your acting skills are good, but there is a problem with your logic. You don't know whether what I said is true or false, yet you dare to invite a strange man with a knife to accompany you so confidently. Do you think this is normal?"
A few words exposed the woman's lie, and her body stiffened instantly with her back to Li Gui.
Li Gui never believed them from the moment they walked to the fourth floor. He just wanted to see if he could get out some useful information.
There is no normal person in the four houses on the fourth floor of the entire apartment. Why does Wang Xinlan live in such a place, and why is she still safe?
The lie was exposed. The woman's pale face slowly turned her head under the light of Li Gui's flashlight. Her originally frightened expression slowly relaxed. With a faint smile on her lips, she stared at Li Gui at the end of the corridor. Returning, the voice became increasingly weird: "Come on, come downstairs with me, this room is very dangerous."
"I think you are more dangerous."
There seemed to be footsteps coming up from the corridor again. Li Gui planned to fight quickly. He threw his backpack aside, held the ghost-killing knife in both hands, and rushed over.
He noticed that the woman's eyes had stopped on the ghost-killing knife many times. If she was a normal person, this behavior would be understandable out of precaution and fear, but the mother and son were both ghosts, which meant that she had not yet I started to do it because I was actually afraid of the ghost-killing sword!
"Forehead....."
Seeing Li Gui rushing toward her with the broken knife, the smile on the woman's face froze, and she turned to reveal her original ferocity as she took her child with her.
It instantly turned into a black shadow and rushed towards the stairs going down quickly.
"run!!"
boom!
A knife was struck at the place where the woman had just been standing. The young man who dared to show his head and look out at 404 was frightened. He did not have a twenty-centimeter fruit knife in his hand and saw Li Gui chasing him with a machete. When ghosting, it fell down.
"A fierce, fierce person."
The ghost disappeared very quickly, and Li Gui couldn't keep up even though he tried his best.
"If Yiyi hadn't been here, I would have caught you and used them as fodder."
By the time he chased them to the top of the stairs, the mother and son had disappeared, but there was another beam of light at the corner of the stairs. When the light came closer, he realized that the real person of this meeting had finally appeared.
"Mr. Li!"
Wang Xinlan, who was holding a flashlight and wearing a sweatshirt and a peaked cap, looked up with a somewhat surprised expression. Her condition seemed to be much better than that in the morning. Maybe she listened to Li Gui's words and went to have a good rest.
"You came here so early?"
"Well, it's nothing to do anyway, so I came here to check it out. Did you see anything strange when you went upstairs just now?"
There was only one staircase leading up and down. The ghost figure rushing down just now must have bumped into Wang Xinlan.
But when the other party heard Li Gui's words, he shook his head in confusion.
"It seems, no, it's just a little colder, but it will be fine soon."
After carefully observing Wang Xinlan's expression, he found that the other party was indeed the policewoman in his memory, and she did not lie. Li Gui breathed a sigh of relief and moved out of the corridor behind him.
On the fourth floor of this apartment, there have been frequent supernatural incidents since he entered, which made him have to be more vigilant. Compared with the fact that these dead souls are still wandering around, nothing happened to Wang Xinlan living here. The new danger was what surprised Li Gui.
"What did Mr. Li discover?"
Walking to Li Gui's side and taking out the key from the small bag he carried with him, Wang Xinlan looked at the ghost-killing knife in his hand and asked curiously.
"That's right. Your apartment is really not simple."
Hearing this, Wang Xinlan, who was wearing a peaked cap covering half of her face, looked a little embarrassed, but it was only illuminated by a flashlight and the environment was dim, so she couldn't tell.
"I've been on leave from work recently, and my savings are about to bottom out. In order to reduce expenses, I deliberately chose an apartment with a cheaper rent."
Wang Xinlan misunderstood the meaning of Li Gui's words and was embarrassed to explain her difficulties to him.
She is not a rich and beautiful girl. Her parents are both serious workers. It is already very difficult for her to support her through college. Now she is just a young police officer who has just become a full-time police officer. She has frequently asked for leave not long after she started working. Jiulin City The police department was very merciful by not firing her, let alone advance her salary.
So in order to save money and not cause trouble to her parents at home, she chose this place.
"Sometimes places that are too cheap are not good, especially when it comes to housing. Didn't anything happen when you moved here?"
Chapter 292 Always by your side
Following the policewoman, Wang Xinlan opened the door of 401 and turned on the light, picking up the backpack that was thrown aside. Li Gui walked in with her.
The young people opposite no longer dared to make any noise, and of course, they no longer dared to show their faces.
Different from the dilapidated appearance of the entire apartment outside, although the layout in Room 401 is not luxurious, it still looks clean and tidy, and the area is not too small, about more than 70 square meters. With Wang Xinlan's words just now, Li Gui instinctively I felt that it might be some shady intermediary who deliberately concealed the facts and rented the haunted house to Wang Xinlan at a low price.
"Not yet. I investigated this place before moving, and I probably know what happened. But after thinking about it, I decided to move here. Although the rumors are indeed a bit scary, for us police, these cases are still relatively common. And I have lived here for a while, and apart from the surrounding environment, which is really not very good, there are no major problems. Now my financial situation can only choose this kind of house."
Gradually accepting her downtrodden side and being seen by Li Gui, Wang Xinlan was also generous. She poured a glass of water for Li Gui and looked at him with a ghost-killing knife in his hand and a backpack on his back. He was looking around. This policewoman Hua was also slightly moved in her heart.
"Mr. Li, when you were investigating outside, you found something wrong?"
Originally, she had always been dubious about the theory of ghosts and gods, but since she witnessed the appearance of the slender ghost, Wang Xinlan has become convinced of it. However, she also knows that this kind of thing cannot be made public, so she has been keeping it secret.
"Well, I wonder if it has something to do with what happened around you... Someone once lived in the room next to you?"
Without specifically asking for Wang Xinlan's consent, Li Gui's eyes followed his footsteps, circulating around the layout of the entire room, and also turned on the lights in places where the lights were not turned on.
In Room 401, there is a living room as you enter, with the bathroom and kitchen on the left, and Wang Xinlan's bedroom on the right. The door is not closed.
Inside is a bed with bedside tables on both sides, a large wardrobe at the door, and a desk at the end of the bed with a laptop on it.
The layout is almost the same as the Jiule apartment where he lives, but the overall area is larger.
"It seems like there are only me and a college student across the street on the entire fourth floor. The two rooms next door have not been occupied for half a year."
"Half a year...that is to say, these two families walked side by side."
"Huh? What did you say, Mr. Li?"
Li Gui muttered to himself, causing Wang Xinlan who was following him to ask curiously.
In her impression, Li Gui should be an expert who lives in seclusion in the city. He can break into Anze High School alone at night and teach her how to control ghosts. Such a fierce man should be so cautious when facing her own apartment.
Is there really something unclean in this apartment?
"fine."
Shaking his head, Li Gui turned around and kept looking at Wang Xinlan for more than ten seconds, making this policewoman start to feel a little cautious.
"Mr. Li, what are you looking at? Do you see any problems?"
That is to say, he knew that Li Gui was an expert. If anyone else had looked at her like this for so long, Wang Xinlan would have kicked him away.
"You moved into this house and nothing strange happened?"
This was the second time Li Gui asked her this question, and his expression was serious.
Wang Xinlan thought seriously for a long time this time, but in the end, she still shook her head.
"No, nothing else showed up except the man in the suit."
"ok, I get it."
Li Gui didn't think his luck would be so bad. He would encounter supernatural events wherever he went.
There must have been ghosts lingering on the fourth floor of Building 3 of Yicai Apartment, but why didn't these ghosts wandering around this place harm Wang Xinlan?
Is it because of that lanky ghost?
It is possible. From Wang Xinlan's experience of repeatedly failing to attack the slender ghost, it can be seen that the strength of this ghost hovering around her is definitely not simple. The little resentful spirits outside do not dare to approach her rashly. They should be Afraid of being swallowed by this ghost.
That means that before Wang Xinlan moved, she had already been haunted by a ghost, but why did this ghost, who was like a slender ghost, only recently show his intention to harm Wang Xinlan?
"When did you move here?"
"Probably, a week ago."
A week ago, it happened to be the time when Li Gui taught her to use a blood-stained sharp weapon to drive away the lanky ghost.
In other words, this ghost figure had not been harmed in any way from the beginning, but after being expelled by Wang Xinlan, it had been purposefully following Wang Xinlan until she moved.
"Mr. Li, is there something dirty in my house?"
Seeing Li Gui's serious expression made Wang Xinlan a little nervous.
However, after thinking for a while, Li Gui finally decided not to tell her his speculation, so as not to scare the policewoman into losing her mind.
"It's okay, I just feel a little strange. Can I go into your bedroom and have a look?"
After all, it was a girl's bedroom. In order to prevent himself from seeing things he shouldn't see, Li Gui asked.
"It's okay, but maybe I haven't packed it up recently. Mr. Li, please wait a moment."
Walking into the bedroom first, Wang Xinlan hurriedly packed away the messy quilt and various underwear under the quilt.
Without paying too much attention to this contrast, Li Gui walked into the bedroom and observed the surrounding environment.
According to Wang Xinlan's description, the slender ghost had already stood at the door of the bedroom when it first appeared, and as time went by, the distance became closer and closer, and would reach her bedside tonight.
