Chapter Twenty-One: Fluctuations in Airflow



Moreover, this building has long been identified as a dangerous building, and no one usually comes here. It has been abandoned for several years.

Jiang Yu carefully walked up the stairs. The steps were very slippery, and it was easy to slip and fall if you weren't careful.

As soon as he turned the corner, he saw Li Zhiyi standing at the door waving at him: "Jiang Yu, I'm here."

Jiang Yu rushed over to her and asked with concern, "Why did you come all this way? Are you hurt?"

"No, come on, I'll take you to find the murderer."

Only then did Jiang Yu realize that there were beds on the fifth floor, and a man was standing at the kitchen door. Jiang Yu immediately pulled out his pistol and said, "Don't move, hands up."

The man smiled wryly and said helplessly, "I can't move, how can I raise my hand? This woman isn't normal."

Jiang Yu didn't believe it. How could a perfectly healthy person be unable to move? He looked at Li Zhiyi, who nodded: "He really can't move. Send someone to take him back to the police station for questioning now. This is the primary crime scene."

"Miss, I really didn't kill anyone! I don't want to go to the police station. Who are you people?" He was guilty and definitely didn't want to go to the police station.

"Okay, I'll have a colleague come over."

When Jiang Yu went into the kitchen, he was met with a strong smell of blood. There were also bloodstains on the wall where the paint had peeled off. The bloodstains were fresh and indeed very suspicious.

The man was quickly taken away, and Jiang Yu and Li Zhiyi also returned to the city.

By the time we got back to the city, it was already evening and dark.

"You go ahead with your work, I'll take a taxi home myself." Li Zhiyi didn't want to trouble the other person all the time, after all, the other person was the captain and must be very busy now that there was a criminal case.

Jiang Yu didn't insist on taking her home. He hailed a taxi for her instead, because the woman he met at noon seemed to have confirmed that she had a boyfriend, and he didn't want her to have a rift with her family because of him.

It was very late when Li Zhi returned to the villa.

As soon as they entered the living room, the old man was still awake, and Gu Nianzhi was chatting with him. When Gu Nianzhi saw Li Zhi, she immediately put on a stern face.

"Grandpa, I'm back! Why aren't you resting yet?"

Gu Nianzhi said angrily, "You never even call home when you go somewhere, making everyone worry about your safety. Why isn't Grandpa asleep yet?" After saying that, she realized that something she said was wrong. She had no interest in this woman who had stolen her grandfather's affection.

"Grandpa, I'm sorry, I went out of town today and came back a little late. In the future, you don't need to wait for me this late."

"Girl, Grandpa can't sleep, it's okay if he sleeps late, it's good that you're back."

Li Zhiyi didn't know what to say. This Grandpa Gu really cared about him like a mentor.

At this moment, Gu Siye came downstairs and walked right past Li Zhiyi as if he hadn't seen her.

“Brother, look at this woman. She’s not home this late. I don’t know where she’s been. Aren’t you going to do anything about her?”

"Her affairs are none of my business." With that, he walked out the door.

Li Zhiyi knew that some members of the Gu family liked her while others didn't, but she didn't care. She knew she would leave once she found her master.

"Grandpa, I'm going back upstairs to rest now."

"Go, girl."

When Li Zhiyi reached the corner of the stairs, he suddenly turned around and said, "Gu Nianzhi, don't go out tomorrow night, it's dangerous."

"What do you mean? Are you deliberately cursing me?" Gu Nianzhi couldn't believe this woman dared to curse her; it infuriated her!

"Believe it or not." After saying that, Li Zhi ignored them and went upstairs.

Gu Nianzhi was furious, her beard bristling and eyes wide with anger. In the end, she stormed back to the third floor.

The next evening, after finishing dinner, Li Zhiyi planned to go out. Butler Zhou left her phone number. Li Zhiyi knew this was her grandfather's intention, probably because he was afraid he wouldn't be able to find her. Li Zhiyi left her phone number and went out.

A woman took a taxi to Hanyang Road, where the driver had been. The driver was initially reluctant to come because she wanted to go to such a remote place outside the city, and it was so late. However, Li Zhiyi gave him extra money, a total of 300 yuan, before the driver agreed to take her there. As soon as he put her down, the driver turned around and drove away in a hurry.

Li Zhiyi found it laughable that people were afraid of ghosts, but they didn't realize that sometimes the human heart is far more terrifying than ghosts.

Holding a flashlight, a person walked to the former abandoned mental hospital. The ground was a mess, littered with discarded old clothes, syringes, and some unknown medicines, with blood on the ground.

Especially the smell, it smelled like a rotten dead rat, plus a musty smell. Luckily, Li Zhiyi was wearing a mask, but it was still hard to hide the smell that hit him right in the head.

Li Zhi walked to the end of the corridor, where the public toilet was located. Legend has it that the public toilet in the girls' dormitory was the place where people were most likely to die and where strange things happened.

The same goes for this mental hospital. Li Zhi checked each private room one by one without even having to open the door, because the toilet door had already been destroyed.

Some doors were missing, while others were dilapidated, half missing and half gone. The filth inside the toilets had long since dried, making them nauseating to look at.

The faucet by the sink had long since stopped flowing, and there were red stains on it, I couldn't tell if it was blood or red ink.

This place is eerie even in broad daylight, and it's even more gloomy at night, with unpleasant smells that stimulate the nerves.

Li Zhiyi went up to the second floor, where there was a private room at the end. However, there was an old-fashioned mirror on the wall of the room, which looked quite frightening. Some people say that mirrors can communicate with spirits, and that's true. Li Zhiyi walked up to the mirror and saw that he could only see a blurry figure in the mirror, and he couldn't make out his face at all.

Finally, after going through every floor, we returned to the basement. This basement looked like a psychiatric treatment laboratory; the stretchers and some abandoned equipment indicated that it used to be an operating room.

Aside from the morgue, the operating room is probably the most eerie place in a hospital, because people's souls can leave their bodies when they experience immense pain. Many people also die during surgery, just like that.

Is this another dimension? Because she could feel fluctuations in the airflow. Although the movement was very slight, Li Zhiyi still sensed something was wrong. It seemed that there really was a problem here.

Li Zhizhi drew a talisman and threw it into the air. The talisman spontaneously combusted in the air without any wind, and Li Zhizhi felt that something was wrong.
