Chapter 718 The person must be dead
Annan waved his hand and put them into the space first to avoid them touching the neighbors and attracting attention.
Then he went upstairs with Gu Zhiyu.
As soon as I reached the third floor, I heard footsteps coming from above, and the voices of a man and a woman talking:
Man: "I've come here twice, and no one has answered. I think the person must be dead. Let's not come again tomorrow."
Woman: "Maybe it's a coincidence? Maybe he's out looking for supplies... Let's come back at a different time tomorrow."
The man sighed, "You new guy just don't believe in superstition! You've worked in the office for a long time, so you know this house is full of weird things. This girl must be dead, there's no other possibility."
The woman's voice became a little softer: "But according to the system, the annual rental house must be confirmed to have the owner's willingness to renew the lease after the ten-month lease period, and then it can be put up for rent..."
"If we can't confirm the other party's situation, we can't put up this sign."
The man's voice was somewhat helpless: "The system is dead, but people are alive. Why bother with that? Just trust me, we can just put up the sign directly. The people inside must have died a long time ago, and there is no way they can renew the contract."
After a pause, he continued, "Don't be too rigid in your work, otherwise you will tire yourself to death."
The woman was silent for three seconds before continuing, "Let's try again tomorrow. If there's still no response, forget it."
Man: "Forget it! I will definitely not come tomorrow. This 601 is very unlucky. We will have to come back to clean the house in two months. It will be troublesome then."
As he spoke, his tone suddenly deepened: "Don't say I didn't warn you. Be prepared. There are all kinds of deadly things in there..."
As he was speaking, the man had already appeared in front of Annan.
An Nan and Gu Zhiyu were both martial artists, and they were used to hiding themselves, so they walked very lightly. Therefore, the two people coming down from the building did not know that there were other people in the corridor.
The moment he came face to face with Annan Gu Zhiyu, the man was so frightened that he screamed and almost slipped down the stairs.
The woman's reaction was calmer than his, but she was also obviously shocked. She touched her chest and complained:
"Ouch! How come you two are walking without making any sound?"
Annan looked at them. They were all dressed in thick and decent clothes, and had a conspicuous work badge hanging around their necks with a rope, with the three big words "Officer" written on it.
She retracted her gaze, smiled slightly, and apologized politely: "I'm sorry, I scared you."
After a pause, he continued, "Maybe you were talking so you didn't notice our footsteps. How are you? Are you okay?"
The woman came to her senses and realized that she was being unreasonable. They had indeed been chatting just now, so she couldn't blame them for their quiet footsteps.
So he waved his hand and said, "It's okay. It's true that we didn't listen carefully."
Then he apologized: "I'm sorry, I was just scared, I didn't mean to blame you."
There is an unwritten rule in the official base that people living in unit rooms are more respected than those living in bed rooms.
The reason is simple. Most people who enter the base will choose the free bed room. Anyone who can buy or rent a house has relatively abundant financial resources.
This building in particular was the first batch of houses sold that year. Except for 601, all the houses were occupied by buyers, and there were no tenants. They were considered to be a very powerful group of people in the base.
After the man recovered from his shock, he quickly apologized to Annan and the others:
"I'm sorry, I overreacted. Did I scare you?"
Annan smiled and said, "It doesn't matter."
The reason she was so polite to them was because she had something to ask.
After parting with Tang Qiyun last time, Fugui said that according to Zhuifeng's smell, Tang Qiyun should be the neighbor who had been disturbing others by jumping rope on their floor before.
That is the 601 resident that the two just mentioned.
She had originally planned to clean up the room and then go upstairs to visit her and invite her to live in the villa together. But from what these two people said just now, it seemed that Tang Qiyun was out of contact?
Annan looked at them and asked directly: "I just heard you mentioned 601? What happened to the residents there?"
The two staff members already felt that they had offended the residents, and when they saw that Annan and Gu Zhiyu were dressed in an impressive manner, they immediately cooperated and told them the whole story about the haunted house at Room 601.
Anyway, since he has killed so many people, it's no longer a secret.
"This lady rented the place for a year. We followed the rules and came to ask her if she wanted to renew the lease, but we never got in touch with her..."
After listening to what they said, Annan nodded thoughtfully: "So that's how it is."
Without saying anything else, I said goodbye to them and went upstairs to go home.
A haunted house that can't survive for a week... It does sound weird. But Annan is not worried.
According to the two staff members just now, Xiao Tang has lived here for nearly ten months. And she just met her three months ago.
It can be seen that Tang Qiyun was not affected by the curse of "not surviving more than a week".
I just don’t know why, the staff came for two consecutive days and there was no one at home.
Could it be that Tang Qiyun was short of money and couldn't pay the rent, so she deliberately hid in the room and avoided him?
Annan didn't think any more about it. It was getting late today, so he decided to clean up the house first and go upstairs tomorrow morning to see what the situation was like at Tang Qiyun's house.
The two of them entered 501 and didn't rush to release Fugui and the others. They let them play in the manor for a while.
To prevent them from making a mess in the room and affecting their cleaning and arranging the furniture.
Gu Zhiyu put in a lot of effort, and Annan contributed a little bit, and after more than two hours of hard work, this dusty and cold room finally became warm and clean.
Although it is not as spacious and bright as Villa No. 1, it is also warmly decorated.
There were beds, sofas, tables, chairs and benches, everything one needed. It was a bit like the house they first lived in at Maple Stage.
After cleaning up, Annan let the three little ones out of the space and took out some ready-made meals.
The two people and three pets happily ate the first meal after Qiao moved to his new residence.
Fugui and the others ran around in the space for quite a while, and ate a lot after coming out, so they naturally had no time to complain about the small size of the house, and soon went back to their room to sleep obediently.
The next morning, An Nan was about to slip into the space to test the specific time of the upgrade when he suddenly remembered Tang Qiyun upstairs.
So he left the three little ones at home to look after the house and went to 601 with Gu Zhiyu.
