"There are too many urban legends involved in Yongmian Apartment. I am the initiator and organizer of this event. Our main task this time is to find out the truth about the fire that year. We will not consider other cases for now."
If it meant something, it was obviously aimed at Li Gui Lai, but Li Gui didn't care at this time, just silently thinking about other meanings of the word "old friend".
"Humph."
Seeing that Li Gui ignored him, Wu Zhouzheng thought that the other party was intimidated by his domineering aura. He snorted softly and stood up.
"Let's go, go to the apartment to investigate first. Just hearsay and random guesses are of no use."
After Wu Zhouzheng paid for the coffee, he led the others out, while Li Gui and Wang Dingfeng stayed at the end.
"Boss, don't be angry. The group leader is usually like this. If you just follow his instructions, you'll be fine."
Seeing Li Gui standing up silently, Wang Dingfeng thought he was angry because of Wu Zhouzheng's ridicule, so he quickly walked to him and comforted him.
"Ok?"
Looking at Wang Dingfeng's short and chubby figure in hindsight, it took Li Gui two or three seconds to realize what the other party meant.
"I was just thinking about other things, and I didn't want to get angry right away."
"That's fine, that's fine."
Obviously thinking that Li Gui was trying to save face, he refused to admit it. Wang Dingfeng smiled and said nothing, and when he saw the other party's disbelief, Li Gui didn't try to explain.
After learning some specific circumstances of Yang Xueer's disappearance, he is now not sure what the long-cherished wish of this "old friend" means.
However, if the location is in Yongmian Apartment, then it is definitely right to go and investigate first.
"Well, little brother, I want to give you a lollipop. Can you add me on WeChat?"
They struck up a conversation again, and Li Gui found out that since he left his side in silence.
There was no shortage of chats with him. No wonder she was always like a puppy guarding her food when she was with other women.
"Add it."
He took the lollipop and threw it into his backpack.
Show your QR code and complete the operation of adding friends.
Li Gui took his red notebook and left behind Wang Dingfeng.
The little chubby guy looked at Li Gui enviously and gave him a thumbs up secretly.
Ignoring him, a group of five people, led by Wu Zhouzheng, left the coffee shop behind them.
The location where everyone left was a building built on the side of a suburban road.
One end of the road is the direction Li returned from, which is the location of the city center of Shangyang. He took a taxi and it took him more than half an hour to get there.
On the other side of the road, you can't see the end at a glance, and from a distance, you can see the appearance of majestic mountains.
According to the navigation instructions, over there is the direction of Yongmian Apartment where everyone is going.
The road is very narrow and there are no street lights installed.
There are thick trees on both sides of the simple cement road.
The lower part of the tree trunk is painted with white paint, and there are only a few sparse ones on one side. The ground is covered with loose yellow-brown soil. Among the dense withered grass, you can occasionally see a few green leaves that have not completely withered.
On the top of the mountain in the distance, you can see a signal tower where the sun shines, and there are wires extending from nowhere in the sky.
As the five people walked back and forth, the entire environment was unusually quiet. As time went on, the entire sky seemed to gradually become darker.
"Ms. Xu, you are a girl. If you are scared or in any danger, remember to contact me as soon as possible to make sure nothing happens."
However, this silence only lasted for more than ten minutes before it was broken by someone who led the team in front.
"I have learned fighting skills, women's self-defense skills, and have a ninth-degree black belt. I can subdue an adult male within three seconds and render him incapable of fighting. Do you want to try it?"
"Also, forget it."
The conversation between the two figures from behind made Li Gui want to laugh a little, but he soon stopped laughing.
Because he felt that his situation was similar, with women being strong and men being weak, but Wu Zhou took the initiative and he was forced.
"Boss, you, you asked me before about Anze Elementary School, if I really planned to go there."
Beside him, Wang Dingfeng came over panting and asked curiously.
Just now, Li Gui saw what he had been talking to Liang Chao, sometimes talking about explosion rate and sometimes about rank, but most of the time it was Wang Dingfeng who talked the most, and Liang Chao occasionally echoed absentmindedly.
He probably felt that chatting with Liang Chao, a boring gourd, was boring, and he didn't dare to disturb Wu Zhou who was flirting with a girl in front of him, so he came to find him.
Chapter 87 The weird landlord (second update!!)
"I had this plan, but later I felt it was too dangerous, so I let it go."
Li Gui discovered an interesting detail and walked for more than ten minutes.
Among the five people, except for him, Xu Meng and Liang Chao didn't look tired at all. Wu Zhouzheng was sweating on his head and breathing heavier, but he didn't show it, probably to gain favor in front of Xu Meng.
Only Wang Dingfeng was the most tired. He was swaying from side to side while talking. Li Gui was worried about whether he would be able to escape immediately if there was any danger in the apartment.
"Yes, we, although we are on an adventure, we are not seeking death. That kind of place doesn't look right at first sight. Boss, you, you are right not to go."
After drinking some water, staring at the fogged glasses, looking at the sun above his head, and wiping the sweat on his face, Wang Dingfeng muttered breathlessly.
"How long is it?"
"almost."
He comforted this otaku.
Li Gui had good eyesight. He had already seen a dilapidated apartment gradually revealed on the hilltop in the distance, standing quietly in the light of the setting sun.
......
"Hey, is there anyone here? We are here for a trip and want to stay here for one night."
After everyone entered the apartment.
The environment on the entire first floor was very dark, and the corridor was pitch black. Through the light penetrating from outside, one could see the closed doors on the left and right.
"Accommodation, just one night, is the landlord here?"
Wu Zhouzheng was still shouting in front, while Li Gui stood at the door and observed the surrounding environment.
The outside of the apartment is dilapidated, and the cement walls are a mixture of white and light yellow-black.
There was also a large trash can at the door, and all the garbage inside had popped out.
When the disgusting yellow liquid flows out, it emits waves of stench.
On the other side is an exposed faucet, with a bag of Liby laundry next to it.The only thing that's better is the newly installed anti-theft electronic door at the door of the apartment, which seems to require an access card.
However, this brand new electronic door seems to be out of tune with the surrounding environment.
"Hey!!! Is there anyone there? Let's stay, stay!!!"
He retracted his gaze from the door and walked into the apartment again.
There seemed to be no one living on the first floor of the apartment. Wu Zhouzheng shouted for a long time but there was no one there.
There is no elevator in the shot on the corridor side, the floor is full of dust, and only the stairs on the left can go up and down.
Because it was very close to the stairs, Li Gui found that cigarette butts and dried phlegm left behind could be seen everywhere on the steps, which made people feel disgusting.
But compared to these, the large and obvious traces of smoke on the wall on the first floor are more concerning.
"What the hell is going on? The service quality is too bad.",
Wu Zhouzheng in front felt that his voice was hoarse and no one paid attention to him.
I originally wanted to show off my authority in front of Xu Meng, but ended up being a little embarrassed.
After seeing everyone's gaze, he seemed a little anxious to go from the stairs to the second floor to have a look.
But just after taking a few steps, he seemed to see something around the corner and froze.
Li Gui stood a little further inside and found a middle-aged man coming out of the corner of the stairs.
The middle-aged man looked thin and unshaven. He was wearing a gray short-sleeved shirt and faded jeans. He looked a little beaten.
However, his sunken eyes were very sharp, his face was expressionless, and he seemed to be holding something in his hand, which frightened Wu Zhouzheng in front of him and kept him retreating.
"Uh...we're here to stay."
Perhaps feeling a little embarrassed, after the man completely walked out from under the stairs, Wu Zhouzheng took the initiative to approach him and said.
But the tone was much more polite.
At this time, Li Gui, who was standing outside the corridor, noticed that this middle-aged man was hunched over and holding a large masonry knife in his hand for some reason.
The middle-aged man did not speak. After arriving on the first floor, he first opened a door on the left. After entering, he came out after a few seconds.
"Um, are you the landlord?"
After all, he was the organizer of this event. Although he felt that this man was a bit weird, Wu Zhouzheng still had the courage to ask.
"We are tourists, and the weather is a little late. We want to stay here for one night. How much does it cost?"
Still without speaking, the hunchbacked man walked past Li Gui, went outside, turned on the faucet, poured some washing powder and started washing his hands.
"Hey, I'm talking to you!"
Wu Zhouzheng chased out anxiously, while Li Gui frowned slightly.
When the man walked past him just now, he noticed a strong smell of formaldehyde. Coupled with the white spots on the man's clothes, it seemed as if the man had just decorated something on it.
"We rent here for at least one month."
The middle-aged man raised his head and glanced at Wu Zhouzheng, and finally spoke in a hoarse voice. He also sprinkled water on his hands when he walked in.
"It's convenient. There is no other place around here. Let us stay for one night and you can pay a little more for the room."
After hearing Wu Zhouzheng's words, the middle-aged man raised his head and looked at him, and then looked at the others for a long time.
He frowned after seeing Li Gui and Liang Chao's backpacks.
"What are you doing?"
"Passenger, didn't you just say that?"
During the whole process, Wu Zhou was talking to the landlord, while Xu Meng kept observing the surroundings. Wang Dingfeng and Liang Chao seemed a little scared, one was hiding behind Li Gui, and the other lowered his head.
"Passenger, I don't think so. There's nothing interesting about this place."
One sentence exposed Wu Zhouzheng's words. When the other party still wanted to defend himself, the landlord interrupted him directly.
"300 per person per night, totaling [-]. No ID required. The house is on the second floor. I will just give you the key after paying the money."
"So expensive!"
Hearing this price, Wu Zhouzheng lost his voice slightly. It wasn't that he had never lived in more expensive places, but that he didn't expect that this apartment was so shabby and he dared to charge such a high price.
"Uh... No, I can't afford it. I just feel it's not worth it."
After realizing that Xu Meng was still there, Wu Zhouzheng quickly made up for it.
But he was obviously worried unnecessarily, because Xu Meng's attention was not on him at all, and he didn't even turn to look at him.
"Okay, then you can open five rooms for us, and I'll transfer them to you on my phone."
There was no other way. Although his body ached, Wu Zhouzheng, who had agreed to spend all the money this time, could only grit his teeth and say
"There are only two rooms left."
"It's only six hundred for two rooms, I'll give it to you."
"It's also [-] for two rooms, [-] for one person."
"you......"
Wu Zhouzheng's expression changed, and he wanted to scold the landlord directly, but after seeing Xu Meng aside, he could only show his dignity.
He gritted his teeth and said,
"Okay, I'll transfer it to you and you take us there."
"There's a number on the key. It's on the second floor. Just go there by yourself. Don't wander around. If something happens, I won't be responsible."
After receiving the money, the man took out a bunch of keys from his pocket, gave two of them to Wu Zhouzheng, opened the door again, took the masonry knife, and walked out.
