Chapter 41 Cheating

Downstairs in a private housing unit, Zhang Sheng and Pei Lan looked at the dark window on the fourth floor. He looked at the address on his mobile phone: "This is Wei Lingling's home."

The security window was a little old. There was nothing unusual about anything else, but when they walked into the corridor, their pupils immediately reflected the red spray paint covering the walls, with the words "Pay back the money!"

An hour ago, Zhang Sheng went to Zhen Zhen's house, and the door was locked.

After knocking for a long time, the neighbor next door came out and told them that the Zhens had moved out of the community long ago. The house had been vacant for more than a month, and even the landlord could not find the tenant's whereabouts.

Only then did Pei Lan know that Zhen Zhen's parents had rented this house, but they had lived in Liaocheng for more than ten years. Why didn't they own their own property yet?

The neighbor also revealed that she had met Zhen Zhen's mother once since she moved here. She had glanced up and downstairs at other times and never saw the door open. She even heard her landlord mention her neighbor's surname, Zhen, but she had seen the Zhen family's daughter, who was a much better beauty than her mother.

Since Zhen Zhen's body could not be found, it was useless to ask ordinary criminal police for help in supernatural cases. Worried about alerting others, Zhang Sheng kept silent to his neighbors and only revealed that he was conducting a teacher's home visit.

He followed Pei Lan to find Wei Lingling's residence. This girl had contacted Zhen Zhen online and knew her friend's situation. He should be able to get useful information from her.

They searched according to the home address provided by the student, but no one responded. They knocked again and again, and the iron frame of the security door shook violently.

Zhang Sheng's eyes tightened: "No one, it can't be such a coincidence that one family canceled the rent, and this family ran away from the debt collector?"

The knocking on the door stopped, the corridor was empty, but the ringing of the phone could be vaguely heard.

Zhang Sheng approached the door and listened carefully to confirm that the sound was coming from Wei Lingling's home. Although he was separated by a thick iron door, his hearing was very keen.

There were obviously still calls from the landline and the electricity bill was still being paid. Why did this family suddenly run away... and who could be the caller?

In the dark corner of the corridor, Zhang Sheng was disturbed by an inexplicable short ringtone. He was worried and couldn't break in. If this house failed, he could only place his hope on the remaining boy, Shen Zhao.

But he was worried that boys' psychological quality was relatively stable, unlike girls who could guide him with words or trust Pei Lan more, so it would be inconvenient to ask questions at that time.

The phone call stopped for more than a minute and then repeated itself.

Zhang Sheng had no choice but to reluctantly dial Cui Yu's cell phone: "...Hello."

Hearing his tone, the person on the other end of the phone said nothing. Classical music continued to play in the background, but it echoed in the dark corridor. It sounds a little scary.

"Cui Yu, I need a favor from you... okay?"

The man's deep voice said: "I won't help unless you ask me."

This kind of bad taste is expected, in the face of Cui Yu's indifferent attitude for several days. , Zhang Sheng is used to it.

Pei Lan turned sideways and asked, "Are you asking Cui Yu? How is he doing there? Have you finished chatting with those female students? I didn't expect Cui Yu to be so popular."

Zhang Sheng didn't know how to answer, it was just a group of people looking for The nymphomaniac school girl who asked her seniors to sign a pamphlet to cheer for the college entrance examination was just Cui Yu who was thick-skinned and had no time to enjoy the compliments.

On the other end, Cui Yu asked again: "Are you sure you and Zhen are really good friends?" Shen

Zhao held the pen in his hand and lowered his eyes as he hummed.

Cui Yu raised his eyebrows, his eyes fell on the name written by Shen Zhao, and he slid his finger gently: "The Shen Zhao you are looking for is a girl who is in the school cafe with me. She seems to want to see you."

Zhang Sheng leaned against the white wall, He asked in disbelief: "Huh? No... Shen Zhao found you and you didn't even tell me??! I ran to two places and couldn't find the key person... You're avenging a private revenge, right?"

Cui Yu ticked The pen and ink under the fingernails said: "Shen Zhao wanted to find you after his speech. It was you who got into the car without looking back and borrowed my car to avenge me for personal revenge?"

I am ** you, uncle. Zhang Sheng's heart was beeping, and he cursed silently. Due to Pei Lan's presence, he turned to smile and said, "Cui Yu, thank you very much. Please wait there while Teacher Pei and I Let's go back now."

Cui Yu looked at the silent Shen Zhao and the happy-looking Fang Yizhou, and added: "Bring three cups of rock sugar and snow pears. I want them to be warm, not hot."

"You're in the cafe, aren't you? *Can I reimburse you for ordering coffee? *There are so many things to say and I’m speechless..."

The receiver suddenly exploded, and Cui Yu quickly pulled away and clicked his tongue secretly.

In the past few years, Zhang Sheng has still gone his own way, and his ability to curse has not diminished.

"Didn't you scold me enough? Zhang Sheng, I'm hanging up. You can ask yourself and use your bad mouth."

"Cui Yu!! Wait there for me! -" Zhang Sheng stopped the person who was about to hang up the phone in time. He tried to find his way down the steps, "Um, I know, Qiuzao, right? I'm treating guests to drinks of rock sugar and snow pear today... I'll be there soon."

Can Zhang Sheng understand clearly? Success or failure is not a matter of joy. His failure is mostly due to his stinking and tough mouth, that is, he can be softer and more honest in front of his mother. He has never admitted his fault to Cui Yu in these years.

He is definitely not as good at dealing with female high school students as someone like Cui Yu who is as smooth as Cui Yu. He has a dignified image and can talk freely. With this person, he estimates that the questioning process will be smoother.

In addition, the two have worked together for many years and have a tacit understanding of cooperation. Even in order to solve the case faster, Zhang Sheng had to temporarily ease the deadlock with Cui Yu.

Recording the time when he heard the strange call, Zhang Sheng took photos as if he were in the corridor of Zhen Zhen's house. After completing all this, he said to Pei Lan: "Teacher, let's investigate for another day. If we still haven't found the truth, I'll contact you." A friend who works in the National Crime Department will mobilize the police force for us. "

But by then, the case will no longer be attributed to Z Detective Agency, and I'm afraid his bounty will also be confiscated." Naturally, we don't want such a bad move to happen.

I went to a mobile stall and bought five glasses of rock sugar snow pear. When I took out one of the glasses, Zhang Sheng blew wildly at the opening of the glass.

"U-U-U--"

Pei Lan was puzzled: "Ji Gang, your cup is very hot?"

Who said it was hot? Only cats' tongues and dog noses think this cup is hot. Drinking it when it's hot makes you feel comfortable!

But Cui Yu is a weirdo and likes the feeling of coldness. He told me on the phone that he must drink warm food!

"It's okay, you drink yours."

Pei Lan continued to apologize along the way: "Teacher is so forgetful. I really have no impression of Shen Zhao you are talking about. How could I know he was a female student..." "

It's okay."

Zhang Sheng did not blame Pei Lan for not being impressed. The number of students in Maoming Middle School was increasing, and it would be difficult to see someone who was not in his class. Besides, he himself mistakenly thought that it was a boy's name, which was why he made an mistake.

...

"About two months ago, it was the second anniversary of our club. We were originally scheduled to celebrate at KTV, but Zhenzhen suggested playing games..."

In the cafe, Cui Yu had a paper cup with a suitable temperature in front of him, and the spoon stood up. As it was delivered to his hands, he raised his eyelids and said, "Thank you."

His palm intentionally touched Zhang Sheng's little finger, and Zhang Sheng was stunned.

But seeing Fang Yizhou's excited expression at the interaction between the two, Zhang Sheng probably understood the reason for Cui Yu's behavior - Shen Zhao looked solemn and sat quietly for a long time before deciding to speak, and the panic in her eyes seemed to have something on her mind. The whole room Only Fang Yizhou was completely relaxed.

Zhang Sheng listened to Shen Zhao's narration and inadvertently glanced at the pink notebook pressed next to Cui Yu's hand. He turned sideways and lowered his head and whispered, "What is this..."

Cui Yu quickly replied without leaving any trace: "My bl and yours, Written by a school girl."

Afraid that Zhang Sheng wouldn't be surprised enough, Cui Yu raised his head and mouthed: "High h."

Zhang Sheng was taking a sip of snow pear juice. His cerebellum shrunk due to this sentence, and he coughed violently. He said, "Sorry...ahem...keep talking."

Shen Zhao, who was already in a highly tense mood, was disturbed by these movements. He frowned, leaned back in his chair and sighed, as if he had forgotten what he was about to make up just now. content.

She waited in the cafe for a long time and finally saw Senior Ji Gang, but this man turned out to be a daredevil. He even brought tea to senior Cui Yu at the same level. She couldn't understand how this kind of private detective could be trusted.

Even if she told the truth, this person probably wouldn't necessarily have a way to deal with it. The thousands of mental activities and worries in her mind before coming here seemed to be unnecessary.

Shen Zhao was discouraged and said arrogantly: "That night, four of us members who had been in the club since its inception played the Four Corners game. Have you heard of it? I remember it was Zhen Zhen who mentioned it. Something strange happened that night, no. We parted happily."

"Four Corners Game?"

Zhang Sheng picked up a pen to write down, while recalling the name of this familiar game. He seemed to have heard it before, but couldn't remember it.

When Shen Zhao saw that Zhang Sheng was not as surprised as expected and was still taking notes, he simply told all the rules of the game, with displeasure in his tone: "Four Corners Game is a supernatural game. Starting in the middle of the night, four people stood around the room. You can't turn on the light and face the corner, and you can't look back. You don't know this?"

Zhang Sheng continued with the end of his pen while drawing pictures in his notebook.

Shen Zhao continued: "...One of them starts walking. When he reaches the next corner, he taps the person on the shoulder and stays there. The person who was tapped on the shoulder continues walking. If he reaches an empty corner, he needs to cough first and stay for five seconds. Seconds, then jump over the corner and move forward."

Zhang Sheng rehearsed what Shen Zhao said: "What's the point of this? Isn't it that the last person encounters an empty corner and then the cycle starts?"

Shen Zhao fell into panic. She was increasingly afraid to recall the scene that night. She held both sides of her head with her hands and said in pain: "But... there was a fifth person that night! Lotus Sun screamed and someone turned on the light. She cried and said someone was filming her. Back, but there was someone standing at the next corner she reached! "

...The coughing stopped for a long time, and everyone remembered it, but it could only be the fifth person," Shen Zhao cried bitterly, "We have been cursed." ..."

Cui Yu put his arms on the armchair and silently flipped through a few pages of Fang Yizhou's erotic creations, turning a blind eye to the girl's crying.

Zhang Sheng sympathized with her. The little girl might not have seen a ghost before, so it was normal to be scared for the first time.

But he just remembered why this name was so familiar. Every time he was lazy in memorizing ancient poems in his senior year of high school, Cui Yu would tell him the story of the four-corner game to scare him. Unexpectedly, it had the opposite effect. He couldn't even read a word and was completely immersed in fear.

Later, Cui Yu couldn't stand it anymore, so he told him: "There is another most natural explanation for the Four Corners Game, and that is that one of the participants cheated, did not cough, and did not go to the prescribed position."

Zhang Sheng handed it over . He pulled a tissue over and interrupted Shen Zhao: "Do you know who in the club has the best relationship with Zhen Zhen?"
