“Do young people nowadays play so big?”

Lu Ban sighed and thought that this was probably some kind of masquerade, scary party, or cosplay.

He waved at the other person, but the man didn't respond at all. When Lu Ban climbed out of the swimming pool and stood up, the window was empty.

Lu Ban returned to the house and prepared the ingredients in the kitchen. When the oven made a ding sound, the lamb chops were basically baked. He then spread honey on them and continued to heat them until they turned caramel color.

Finally, sprinkle some cumin and chili powder for seasoning, and the grilled lamb chops are ready.

Lu Ban felt very satisfied as he watched a horror movie on the big TV in the living room while eating grilled lamb chops with raw onions.

"As expected, relaxing after work is the most refreshing thing. Hmm, but there are too many lamb chops. It would be a waste of food if we can't finish them. Why not ask the people next door if they want some?"

Lu Ban said this, then cleaned up the table, heated up the slightly cooled lamb chops, wrapped them in tin foil, held them in his hand, and walked out of the villa.

It was still lively next door, and I could vaguely hear singing from the KTV, which was funeral music with an opera accent.

Lu Ban pressed the doorbell and waited for a while before someone came to open the door.

"Sorry, we will pay attention to the sound..."

The person who opened the door was a boy with a pale face. He thought Lu Ban came to complain about them being too noisy.

"It's okay. I like listening to music. It's like this. I was grilling next door and I had a lot of food, so I wanted to share some with you. It's natural lamb chops. They're delicious."

Lu Ban raised the grilled lamb chops in the plastic bag in his hand.

"Oh, thank you, thank you."

The boy took the lamb chops handed over by Lu Ban and seemed to be hesitating whether to invite Lu Ban into the house.

"It's okay. I won't disturb you. I'll go back first. Oh, yes, I was just swimming in my own pool before. I didn't do anything strange. The classmate who was looking at me on the second floor just now shouldn't make a fuss."

Lu tripped and had no intention of going in.

But when the boy heard Lu Ban's words, his expression became subtle. He turned around and called out, and several classmates in the villa came out.

The two girls that Lu Ban met were also among them.

"Who went to the second floor just now?"

The boy asked.

Everyone shook their heads.

He turned to Lu Ban and spoke in a somewhat weak voice.

"We were all singing karaoke on the first floor just now, and no one was on the second floor..."

Lu Ban took a quick look and indeed did not see the boy who had been staring at him just now.

So that person is...

"Oh, then you better be careful."

Lu Ban thought for a moment, gave a warning, and added another sentence.

"I think he might be resentful. You'd better not spend the night here."

After hearing Lu Ban's words, the faces of several girls turned even paler.

But it seems that because the price of daily rental is very expensive, they are also hesitant.

"Well, if you have any questions, you can contact me directly. This is my cell phone number. I will stay here tonight."

Lu Ban gave his number to a few people, said goodbye to them, and returned to his villa.

After a while, he heard the singing from next door stop and there was no sound anymore.

In the evening, when the night was dark, Lu Ban looked at the villa next door, where the lights were still on but there was no sound of people. He felt something was wrong and took out his cell phone to call the agent.

"Hello, I'm here for the daily rental. I want to ask, didn't you say that there are no rentals around this villa? Why are there college students partying next door?"

"…It's true that it's not rented out. I'm responsible for this. I'm sure no one else has rented the house."

"They are still here. If you don't believe me, I'll take a picture."

Lu Ban came to the yard and took a photo of the brightly lit villa next door with his mobile phone, preparing to send it to the agent via WeChat.

But when selecting the picture, Lu Ban felt something strange.

He clicked on the photo and enlarged it.

Then I saw that at the window on the second floor, where there was no one just now, there were several young men and women standing.

The clothes they wore were different, but all were stained with blood. The young men who had taken Lu Ban's grilled lamb chops in the afternoon had pale faces, dark eyes with no whites, and all raised their right hands, as if waving at Lu Ban.

Looking up, when Lu Ban looked at the villa again, it was already pitch black, without any trace of anyone having been there.

【Motionless】: Maybe I saw it wrong.

Lu Ban sent a WeChat message and didn't bother looking for an agent anymore.

He returned to the empty house and searched for keywords related to the villa and college student case on his mobile phone.

Soon, Lu Ban discovered that about three years ago, a case involving college students had occurred in the villa area here.

At that time, several classmates were having a party together, and then somehow an argument broke out. The people who had originally had a good relationship suddenly started fighting each other, and in the end no one survived. When the agent came to the villa the next day, all they could see was blood all over the house.

However, when Lu Ban carefully counted the number of victims and the number of college students he met, he found that there was still one more.

"...The people on the second floor of that house don't seem to be part of their college students."

Lu Ban quickly realized this.

That person should be a little younger, like a high school or junior high school student.

He continued to search, but there was no more information.

After thinking about it, Lu Ban decided to call He Youwu.

"…Are you finally going to turn yourself in?"

The first sentence, He Youwu was still a little dazed, and said it subconsciously.

"In the villa area of ​​XXX in Jiangcheng, a college student was murdered here three years ago. I want to know if there were any other cases in the villas here before. The victim might be a junior high school or high school student."

Lu Ban didn't tease anyone and went straight to the point.

"???"

Are you the police or are we the police?

He Youwu complained in his heart, but he still started to look through the electronic files out of curiosity.

For a moment, he was a little surprised.

"Yes, it was ten years ago. There was a family in this villa area whose parents were working away from home, leaving only their son who was in the first year of high school at home. Then they encountered thieves in the middle of the night. He was awakened by the thieves and went to check. As a result, he was killed by the two thieves. The bodies were also dismembered and hidden in the swimming pool and the garden..."

After hearing what He Youwu said, Lu Ban immediately understood.

Was it the remaining resentment of the original victim that led to the subsequent killing of each other among the college students?

In addition, dismemberment...

"Have the criminals from ten years ago been found? They were also dismembered. They should be the biggest suspects."

Lu Ban reminded.

"...Yes, I'll check it right now. I don't have enough computer permissions to see the details."

He Youwu stood up immediately.

He glanced at the computer screen and said another sentence.

"By the way, how do you know all this?"

"I'm at No. 81 in the villa area here. I noticed that the lights were on next door, but there was something strange inside, so I checked."

Lu Ban looked through the window toward the next door.

"Huh?"

He Youwu was stunned for a moment. He looked at the computer again to confirm before speaking.

"But the crime scene is No. 81 in the villa area."
