With doubts in his mind, Jiang Chen continued to go upstairs. When he reached the fourth floor, he saw that someone's inner door was open. Through the old iron security door, a little girl was eating a bowl of rice.
"Little sister, why are you eating while looking at the corridor?" Jiang Chen smiled gently and walked over to ask.
The girl glared at him and said, "Uncle, you scared my friend!"
"Friend?" Jiang Chen looked around in confusion. There was no one in the corridor.
"Yeah, he was eating here just now, and you scared him away as soon as you came up." The girl had just finished speaking when a woman's scolding came from the room.
"Yaoyao! Who are you talking to?"
Then a woman in an apron came out. She glanced at Jiang Chen and frowned when she realized he was a stranger. "Why are you entering our building so late at night?"
"Sister, I'm here to look for someone. Do you know Zhang Meimei?"
Hearing this name, the woman's face changed, and she waved her hand like she was shooing away a fly: "I don't know you, get rid of me!"
She was about to close the door when she sighed and warned, "Take my advice and leave here quickly. The neighborhood has been very noisy lately. When you go downstairs later, if you hear someone ask you if you think you're beautiful, just ignore everything and run."
Jiang Chen's eyes narrowed: "Why?"
"Because if you say she is not beautiful, that woman will go crazy and hack you to death!" the woman said sternly.
"What if I compliment her on her beauty?"
"Haha, do you think you can win the kindness of a disfigured person by complimenting her beauty?" The woman smiled strangely. "No, you will only make her feel worse. Then, she will turn you into someone who looks just like her!"
Bang!
After the woman finished speaking, she pulled her daughter and closed the door.
"Thank you, big sister." Jiang Chen nodded and turned to look at the several medical beauty advertisements posted on the wall of the corridor. He already had a guess about this murder case.
Continuing upstairs, when he reached the first floor, Jiang Chen saw that someone's door was ajar, and a faint smell of blood came from inside.
"Is it out?"
He went over and pushed the door, but found it a little heavy, so he pushed harder.
Bang!
A body fell down.
It seemed that someone had previously placed it behind the door, and if someone opened the door, they would see this horrifying scene.
Jiang Chen was not too scared. He squatted down to observe and found that it was the body of a man. There were no scars on his body, except for his face which was chopped into a bloody mess.
"He was killed by someone hacking his face off. He must have gone through a very painful struggle before his death."
Jiang Chen muttered to himself, and suddenly he heard hurried footsteps coming from the stairs. The next moment, a woman rushed down. She was wearing tight jeans and a white shirt. Her face was fair and delicate, and her appearance was no less than Lin Youwei's.
But at this moment, the woman's face was full of panic, her clothes were torn at the shoulder, leaving a bloody wound, emitting a faint black resentment.
"A living person?" The woman frowned when she saw Jiang Chen, ran over to pull him out of 502, and then slammed the door of 502 shut.
"If you want to live, don't talk!"
The woman opened the wooden door between the two households. This was the water valve room. It was a very small space and people usually only came here to check the water meter.
"Come in quickly!" She was quite strong and pulled Jiang Chen inside, closed the wooden door, took out a yellow paper talisman from the back pocket of her jeans, muttered a few words and stuck it on the talisman.
"Shangqing blesses, Dongxuan hides the gods!"
Jiang Chen saw that the talisman emitted a very faint yellow light, which seemed to completely isolate this place from the outside world.
"you……"
"Shut up!" The woman covered his mouth directly. "This talisman can only cover up the anger of the living. If you don't want to die, don't speak!"
As soon as she finished speaking, a woman's crazy laughter suddenly rang out in the corridor.
"Hahaha, am I beautiful?"
"Don't run, I just want to know whether I look beautiful now or not!"
Da da!
From the sound, someone rushed down from the sixth floor.
