Chapter 317 Peng Wan

Since the nineteenth floor was just upstairs, Jiang Liyue and Yan Mobai didn't take the elevator, but went directly up the stairs.

Jiang Liyue had never been to the apartment building's stairwell before; the stench inside was particularly strong.

It had reached the point where the stench was so strong it made people dizzy and lightheaded; Jiang Liyue even suspected that hundreds of people had died inside.

Otherwise, why would there be such a strong smell of blood?

Yan Mobai thought for a moment: "Perhaps the serial killer likes to eat in the stairwell."

Jiang Liyue: "Is that so?"

“Yes, he doesn’t care about appearances. All those man-eating monsters are like that, they reek of a fishy stench and are always filthy. Yueyue, stay away from them.” Yan Mobai led her up the stairs while smearing dirt on her.

Jiang Liyue: ...If he hadn't written such a long smear, she might have believed it.

There were only about twenty steps in total, and we quickly reached the nineteenth floor.

The fire escape door was closed, so Jiang Liyue took out her prop, the "Master Key," and opened it directly.

She originally thought that since Yan Mobai said the nineteenth floor was something that couldn't be visited casually, and that there weren't any rented-out floors, it must be a chaotic place.

It might be filthy, and filled with the same fishy stench as the hallway.

It may be covered in dust, with few signs of people having set foot there.

But in reality, Jiang Liyue only discovered after opening the fire escape that the nineteenth floor was exceptionally clean.

It is cleaner and brighter than the other floors.

The not-too-long corridor was spotless, and the lighting wasn't dim like on other floors; it was a comfortable, warm yellow light.

The air wasn't filled with the smell of blood or decay, but rather a faint floral fragrance.

There are also many potted plants on both sides of the corridor, all of which look very well taken care of.

This doesn't look like the place where a serial killer lives at all; it looks more like a high-end, well-maintained apartment.

Jiang Liyue even had a rare moment of doubt about her own judgment.

Seeing that Jiang Liyue wasn't going into the corridor but instead staring at it, Yan Mobai asked curiously, "Does Yueyue like this style?"

"If you like, how about we decorate my upstairs like this too? Or you can decorate it in any other style you like, since it's your place after all."

Hehe, this is his and Yueyue's home.

If Yueyue were to decorate their home herself... that would be so wonderful!

Jiang Liyue was preoccupied with the plot and didn't pay attention to Yan Mobai's little schemes, so she directly refused: "Let's not talk about that now, let's go see what's going on."

Yan Mobai: "Okay."

Jiang Liyue walked into the corridor after observing the situation.

It has the same layout as the 18th floor, with a total of ten households. All the doors are closed, and the entrances look very simple with no decorations.

Apart from room 1908, there were festive couplets pasted on both sides of the door, cute decorations on the door handles, and adorable pink animal-shaped floor mats on the floor.

The owner of the house is clearly someone who loves life.

According to Zhu Shan, this place was once the residence of the first victim of the serial murder case.

She thought for a moment, then reached out and pressed the doorbell on the door.

Although knocking on the door at this time is a bit unethical and lacks manners.

But what Jiang Liyue was more curious about was whether there was an owner in this house.

She thought this might be the key to deciphering the mystery.

As expected yet unexpected, the door was indeed opened not long afterward.

Standing in front of the door was a young girl who looked pale and weak, with soft hair and a delicate and gentle appearance.

Upon seeing them, the girl's face showed just the right amount of confusion: "May I ask what brings you here?"

Jiang Liyue blinked, released Yan Mobai's hand, and showed a surprised expression: "Sister Peng Wan, is that you? I've finally found you."

Peng Wan was surprised by her enthusiasm and asked in confusion, "You are...?"
