I asked about the other apartment rooms, and the aunt said they were all fully booked except room 606.
Now I was even more suspicious, and asked curiously, "Why is no one living in No. 606?"
The aunt rolled her eyes and said, "If you are not a tenant of this apartment, there is no need for you to know things that you should not know. I don't have time to chat with you." After that, she turned around and walked out.
I slapped my forehead and rushed after him: "I want to rent 606! How much?"
The lady in the apartment looked back at me and said, "3,000 a month, payable in cash!"
Holy shit, 3,000? A month? Damn, this is robbery!
Xiao Bingbing came up from behind, holding a thick stack of red banknotes in her hand. She handed it to the aunt and said, "Here is 10,000 yuan. Within three months, 606 will be ours."
The apartment lady took the money, weighed it carefully, and then gave us the key. Then, as she walked away, she kept nagging, "Water and electricity bills are paid separately. If you want to eat, go to the supermarket downstairs to buy it yourself. No loud noises are allowed after 9 o'clock in the evening. You must be back to the apartment by 11 o'clock at the latest. After 12 o'clock in the morning, remember not to leave the room and wander outside, even if you hear any noise..."
As we watched her leave the apartment, Xiao Bingbing and I exchanged a series of blank stares as she spoke a long, drawn-out conversation. What was the hidden meaning behind her words? This was getting weirder and weirder.
Anyway, if you want to find the murderer, you should stay here. I was a little surprised by Xiao Bingbing's generosity in handing out 10,000 yuan. After asking her, I learned that the money was from the 100,000 yuan reward she received for completing the mission she killed at the subway station... At the time, I asked her how the murderer knew her bank account number. Xiao Bingbing explained that the murderer knew our names, locations, and everything else around us. It shouldn't be that hard for him to find our bank account number, right?
I nodded. What she said made so much sense that I was speechless.
That night, Xiao Bingbing and I had dinner and returned to the apartment on time to sleep. The apartment had many rooms, so we could have each had our own. However, Xiao Bingbing was afraid and told me to sleep in the living room, so I had no choice but to move to the living room and sleep on the sofa.
After midnight, the entire apartment fell into silence, without a single sound, as if even the air and time had frozen in that moment, making it hard to breathe.
I couldn't sleep, so I kept my eyes open, looking at the layout of the living room 606. There was nothing strange about it during the day, but at night, when I looked over with my wisdom eye, I could see a faint airflow moving in the living room, but I had no idea what it was.
Su Xiaoniu sipped lazily and said, "Didn't you notice?"
I was stunned. What?
Su Xiaoniu said calmly, "Since you came here, have there been no missions for the entire day?"
That's right! Ever since Xiao Bingbing and I rushed to this apartment this morning and investigated Room 606, no more missions have appeared. What's going on?
Su Xiaoniu said noncommittally, "There are two possible answers. One is that the murderer was planning a more 'fun' mission, so he delayed us. The other is that this is the murderer's lair, and you have occupied it, forcing him to hide to avoid being discovered by you."
I have to say that Su Xiaoniu's analysis is very thorough. Indeed, so far, this is the only possibility! Otherwise it would be too strange.
Su Xiaoniu continued, "However, if it's the first case, it's been a whole day and they haven't issued any tasks yet, which is too long, so the possibility is extremely low. As for the second case, you've occupied the murderer's lair, making it impossible for the murderer to issue you new tasks. If that's the case, then the murderer will definitely do some terrifying supernatural things to scare you until you check out and leave the apartment!"
I asked curiously, "Isn't he very capable? He can kill anyone he wants. He doesn't need to use such a cheap trick to scare us, right?"
Su Xiaoniu smiled meaningfully and said, "When you want to cheat on a test, and the invigilator is right next to you, staring at you closely, will you still cheat?"
I shook my head.
etc!
Su Xiaoniu's words immediately reminded me!
If it is really as Su Xiaoniu said, then...
I was just thinking about it when something dark suddenly floated in front of me. I jumped up in fright and pounced on it. I heard someone scream "pain" and in the darkness, I realized it was Xiao Bingbing. I got up depressedly: "Why are you climbing on me instead of sleeping?"
Xiao Bingbing said in a very coquettish tone, "I'm scared!"
I got goosebumps all over my body, and at that moment, there was a sudden knock on the door...
