"What a profiteer... Everyone, let's go. There are only two rooms. Let's allocate them here."
I muttered something in front of me, but I didn't dare to let the landlord hear it.
Wu Zhouzheng took the key and took the lead to walk up after saying hello.
First it was Liang Chao, then Xu Meng, and then Wang Dingfeng.
Chapter 88 The arson case five years ago (third update!!!)
The stairs are very narrow, only less than two meters wide. Only one person can pass at a time. There are no lights on the stairs.
With only a little light coming from the door, I couldn't even see the steps clearly, and the surroundings seemed unusually dark.
Li Gui was the last one to reach the stairs. When he reached the corner, he suddenly found that the landlord at the door seemed to be talking to someone, and the voice sounded like a man.
"Only this... not much..."
"You...have already...otherwise..."
"That's...you don't want...to know..."
The conversation was vague and could not be heard clearly, but Wang Dingfeng's words above had already been transmitted.
"Hey, boss, what are you doing? Walk faster."
The sound of the conversation disappeared, as if someone was eavesdropping.
Li Gui hurriedly walked up. Only then did he realize that only Wang Dingfeng was waiting for him at the stairs on the second floor. The other three people had already arrived in front of the two doors in the middle of the corridor on the second floor.
"I was just tying my shoes, sorry."
"Hey, it's okay. There are only two rooms. The group leader is allocating rooms. Boss, do you want to go over and discuss it?"
Hearing this, Li Gui looked at Wu Zhouzheng, who was milling around Xu Meng, and shook his head.
"No, any room is fine. You can discuss it."
He was not going to waste time on such boring things. Now that the prompts in the notebook were vague, he came to the apartment and needed more information to figure out what the so-called "old friend" meant.
"Oh okay."
He nodded, maybe because Li Gui was used to being alone, Wang Dingfeng did not try to dissuade him, but walked to the middle of the corridor and joined the conversation between the three of them.
At this time, Wu Zhou, who was holding the key, was making reasonable arrangements for tonight's housing.
"It's still some time before night. In order not to arouse suspicion, we still have to stay in the room for a while. The weird landlord just now is very suspicious. I feel that he is the real culprit of the arson case, because we are here Only Miss Xu is a girl, so for safety reasons, Miss Xu and I are in the same room, and the other three are in the next room, so that we can take care of each other."
It can be said that his true thoughts were written directly on his face. Wu Zhou was working hard to restrain the joy on his face while he was doing the assignments in a serious manner.
Xu Meng, who was standing aside, frowned, hugged her tall chest, and said in a cold tone
"If the landlord was really an arsonist, he should have sold the house and run away. How could he still be here?"
"Uh... maybe, maybe it's because he can't sell it and he wants to make money from this apartment. You just saw how greedy he was for money. He doesn't look like a good person."
Xu Meng was left speechless by a single question. After hesitating for a long time, Wu Zhouzheng said uncertainly.
"The source of the fire was the bedroom of the original landlord's daughter. Although the current landlord did come to the apartment to look for his brother that day, according to the police investigation, he was on the second floor with other tenants at the time. He had no time to commit the crime. He would not have committed the crime. is his."
Xu Meng had seen many people like Wu Zhouzheng, who was not interested in drinking, and she didn't have a good face.
"Even if it's not him, looking at his appearance, he's not a good person. Miss Xu, you'd better obey the arrangements. If an accident happens, I can't bear the responsibility."
Perhaps knowing that Xu Meng simply didn't want to be with him, Wu Zhouzheng felt a little embarrassed in the eyes of Wang Dingfeng and Liang Chao.
"Except for that doctor, I am confident that you three will be brought down in ten seconds. Worry about me instead of worrying about your safety."
He hated others coercing him the most. Xu Meng's face immediately turned cold. After saying this, he ignored Wu Zhouzheng's ugly face and turned towards the stairs, where Li Gui was.
"Haha, group leader, look, I suffered an unreasonable disaster because of you. Do I have to send a red envelope to compensate for this?"
Seeing that the atmosphere was tense, Wang Dingfeng took the initiative to walk over, patted Wu Zhouzheng on the shoulder, gave him a slap and said haha.
However, when he saw Wu Zhouzheng's angry and jealous face staring at Li Gui not far ahead, the hand on his shoulder was silently lowered.
As a college student, he had better not get involved in this kind of thing.
......
"Have you found anything?"
Ok?
Just when Li Gui was standing next to the stairs, observing his surroundings, a familiar voice sounded beside him.
When I turned around, I realized it was the imperial sister just now.
"There is something wrong with the environment. The first floor is very smoky, but starting from the second floor, the walls, floors, and even the stairs leading up have all been renovated."
Of course, he could notice Wu Zhouzheng's jealous and almost crazy eyes behind the two of them, but Li Gui didn't pay attention. This kind of childish jealousy plot had been boring to him since he was in junior high school.
"Um......"
Hearing Li Gui's words, Xu Meng lowered his head slightly and began to think deeply.
"Moreover, it has been several years, and the plaster on the walls is still spotless, which is a bit abnormal. The landlord just seemed to repaint it every once in a while, and there were so many empty rooms on the second floor that he only arranged them for us. Two rooms.”
Xu Meng did not answer for the time being, but was thinking silently, but Wu Zhouzheng came over again from behind the two of them.
After hearing what Li Gui said, he smiled angrily and said disdainfully
"What's weird? The landlord just wants to disgust us and kick us out. Isn't this more solid evidence that he has something ulterior motives in mind? Moreover, he is renovating the apartment. I'm afraid he just wants to find a reason to charge more room rent. , attract more customers, and even if it doesn’t work, you can still sell it at a good price. This is just a basic business routine, doesn’t Mr. Li know this?”
Perhaps because Xu Meng always leaned towards Li Gui, Wu Zhouzheng had begun to deliberately find trouble after getting close to him many times without any results.
"Maybe."
Without arguing with this clown character, Li Gui walked behind him and began to observe the entire room in the corridor.
But Xu Meng finally understood what Li Gui meant, and a trace of vigilance and inexplicable excitement flashed in his eyes.
She finally knew why Li Gui said this apartment was strange. Five years ago, there was a fire in the apartment, and many people died.
Even if the current landlord wants to renovate and start business after inheriting the property, he will not renovate all the floors from the first floor up.
After all, Kapok Apartment is in the suburbs, and the surrounding area is deserted. The special geographical environment means that there will not be many people paying to live in this apartment.
And this is also true. From the time they came up until now, they have only seen the strange landlord.
Even if the landlord had no business acumen, one side of the first floor should have been renovated.
However, the first floor was simply painted with a little plaster.
And judging from the white walls on the second floor, the landlord has been painting and repairing the apartment continuously over the past few years, and has no plans to sell the apartment.
What evidence is he obviously covering up? ! !
With sudden realization in his eyes, Xu Meng quickly followed and walked to Li Gui's side.
Chapter 89 The Painter Who Wields a Sword (monthly ticket adds more updates, four updates)
"Do you suspect that the fire that year had something to do with him?"
"I don't know, I just feel weird, and compared to this arson case, my focus is on other cases."
"The case of the missing school beauty?"
Surprised by the imperial sister's reaction speed, Li Gui nodded without denying.
Unlike Wu Zhouzheng, the lecherous evil spirit, this imperial sister is obviously more reliable and knows a lot of information. She may be able to provide him with different ideas.
"That case was indeed strange. If someone was really killed, the most likely suspect was the mysterious woman who lived next door to her, but both of them disappeared together. Yang Xueer's parents spent money to investigate for several years. There are no results... Is it possible that Yang Xueer is not dead yet?"
Li Gui did not answer Xu Meng's words for the time being. If Yang Xueer's name appeared on the notebook, it obviously meant that Yang Xueer had passed away.
It's just that he couldn't explain this to Xu Meng, so he didn't answer.
Old friend?If it doesn't refer to the murderer, what does it mean?
Could it be someone Yang Xueer knew before?Is there anything else Yang Xueer wants to say to her?
Is this person still in the apartment now?
Or does it have other meanings?
"I organized this adventure. Don't you have any spirit of cooperation in forming a small group like this?"
The chattering man with gold-rimmed glasses behind him is here again.
Li Gui really found this guy annoying and would interrupt his thinking every time.
Just as he was about to turn around and say that he was leaving the team and not cooperating with them, Wang Dingfeng, who noticed something was wrong, quickly came over and stood between the two of them, acting as a peacemaker.
"Don't be angry, everyone. Don't be angry. Let's allocate the rooms first and then discuss them little by little. It would be bad if we make any noise and let others hear it."
At this time, feeling Li Gui's indifferent gaze, Wu Zhouzheng didn't know why he suddenly felt nervous and timid.
I originally wanted to say something to save my face, but after a while, I could only suppress a hum.
"Then Miss Xu will have a room, and we four boys will live together."
"I live with him."
It could be seen at a glance that Wu Zhou was a man who failed in success but failed in failure. As soon as Xu Meng finished speaking, he pointed at Li Gui who turned around and looked at his red notebook.
It's not that she trusts Li Gui that much. Since they are both strangers, it is always more convenient to be with a smart person.
"No, what if he has any evil intentions? Didn't you just say that you might not be able to subdue him?"
Perhaps because Li Gui was no longer looking at him, Wu Zhouzheng started barking again.
"Does anything about me have a lot to do with you? And compared to him, I think you are more dangerous."
"You... you just can't do it anyway. There are only two rooms in total, and I pay for the room fees. If you don't obey the arrangement, don't participate in this investigation."
"You can only play rogue."
"Everyone, please stop arguing and be nice. Actually, you can do whatever you want. It's right next door anyway, so there won't be any danger. Stop arguing, stop arguing, calm down, calm down, you two."
......
The chattering words of the four people behind made Li Gui feel a little upset.
If he hadn't heard that signing up would cover all travel expenses, he would actually have preferred to come alone.
Otherwise, we will fall into inexplicable disputes before the official business begins.

.......
"What do you mean... hmm?"
Just when Li Gui was looking at his information on the notebook and trying not to be disturbed by external factors, he suddenly discovered that at the end of the corridor on the second floor, a door had been opened a crack.
The eyes of a person inside were revealed, staring at him and the four noisy people behind him in the dim environment.
squeak~
As if knowing that he had been discovered, a few seconds later, the person in the crack of the door came out with a smile.
He is a tall and thin man with long hair that reaches his shoulders, but it is messy.
He was wearing a dirty white shirt, a pair of dye-stained suit pants, and a pair of flip-flops.
"Are you new residents? I lived here before. My name is Wang Liang. You can call me Xiao Wang or Xiao Liang."
The man was slightly hunched, his face was very pale, and his dark circles were severe. He looked like he had not rested well.
