old building

Chapter 16

My throat is dry, and my heart feels swollen and uncomfortable. Qiao Jiu put his other hand on top of my head slowly, rubbing it gently as if coaxing a child, this action immediately made me burst into tears.

It was also after I unloaded my heart that Qiao Jiu left without any regrets.

When I turned around, Qiao Jiu had distanced himself from me, and disappeared at the end of the alley in a few steps.

For three days in a row, I didn't get any news from Qiao Jiu, and there was no response to text messages or calls.

I was scratching in my heart, and I was crazy to know what Qiao Jiu was doing now!

When I woke up in the morning, the knock on the door sounded "Bang bang!", I stood up and felt my head shaking for a while, my sore and swollen eyes opened, and everything in front of me was black.

"Bang bang!" I slowed down a bit, and there was another loud knock on the door outside.

"Who is it again?" My tone was quite low, and I felt very uncomfortable being disturbed from my sleep, let alone when I was in such a bad mood.

"Officer Chen?" I opened the door of the room, and the moment I looked at the tall figure standing in front of the door, I frowned.

The arrival of Chen Yang several times failed to bring me any good events. On the contrary, bad luck followed Chen Yang's arrival one after another.

Therefore, I am not very happy to see this person in front of me.

"Although I don't really want to disturb people's sleep, but it's my duty, I'm sorry." Chen Yangxu could see the strong displeasure on my face, and opened his mouth to say this at me.

Responsibilities?I raised my eyes instantly because of these words, and asked Chen Yang with a tight heart, "What happened?"

Chen Yang didn't answer me, but looked towards the second floor with an inexplicable look.

First, they bypassed Feng Yuanyuan's room, and finally fixed their eyes on the room where the door was still open and the college student had moved out.

Chen Yang's voice sounded like he was floating with the air current, very soft, "Are you an atheist?"

"What?" Chen Yang's arrival today made me feel a little inexplicable, and the words he asked directly with his mouth made my mind foggy.

I stared at Chen Yang with puzzled eyes, "Officer Chen, are you alright?"

Chen Yang's floating eyes trembled twice and landed on me, he said: "I am an atheist."

I frowned slightly, and began to think about the situation in front of me, what happened.

"Why is everything caused by Courtyard No. 26?" Chen Yang's state was still different from usual, but after he threw out such a sentence, I felt a little bit stunned, because of Courtyard No. 26?

"Yao Wen is dead." Chen Yang's eyes finally fell on me again, and there seemed to be many complicated things staring at me in those sinking eyes.

"It's the college student who lived across from you and moved away less than three days ago."

The stone hanging in my heart hit my heart straight at this moment, and it burst and splashed for a moment, making my heart ache a little, and my lips trembled a little.

Chen Yangdao: "The body was discovered at [-]:[-] this morning. It fell directly from the fifth floor, and the head hit the ground first."

"How could this happen?" I tried to calm myself down, but my voice sounded hoarse.

Chen Yang stared at me with dark eyes and said, "Xue Guan, do you have anything to say about this?"

I tried to catch my breath twice, my voice didn't sound so breathless, even a little weak, I laughed, "What can I say? About this haunted yard? Everyone died without a good end? Maybe it will happen sooner or later The one that got down was me?"

When I said this with a sneer on my face, Chen Yang's pupils shrank, and his sharp lips were instantly pursed.

"There have been frequent incidents in the No. 26 Courtyard recently. If you have psychological pressure, you can temporarily relocate, but the premise is that the relocation range should not be too far away. The police will come to you for investigation at any time."

"Why should I move?" I raised my eyes, staring at Chen Yang with my pupils and smiling.

I watched him pursing his lips tightly and looking complicated in his eyes, and said: "If I move now, I will run away in fear of crime, or I will have a guilty conscience. Of course, so what if I move? Isn't Yao Wen moving?" Are you home yet?"

I raised one side of my lips, and said something to Chen Yang, Chen Yang's unsteady eyes fell down, staring at me like a pool of stagnant water.

I expected that he would say something, or ask more, but Chen Yang didn't continue to ask questions like I imagined, but turned around and left under my gaze.

His footsteps were heavy, one step at a time, echoing sounds could be heard in the empty second floor, each sound getting heavier and heavier.

The talk about the evil in the courtyard on the 26th became more and more violent. I went out several times during the day and met people, and these people avoided me as if they had encountered a disaster.

Even those who had to go through the road in front of the door began to choose to make a detour.

In a short period of time, the old building was like an isolated island, extremely desolate.

At night, I couldn't wait for Qiao Jiu.

I was anxious, and walked outside in the dark night.

The sky had been gloomy for several days, and at this moment, fine snowflakes finally began to fall. .

The surrounding area is getting colder, and there are no people on this road in the cold weather and snowflakes.

I walked out of the alley, only to see sparse crowds on the street, but the pedestrians were in a hurry, and it seemed that I was the only one staying in this cold inner street.

I walked forward aimlessly, I didn't know how far I had walked, I stopped, and said: "Come out."

Among the passers-by, I couldn't hide the sound of heavy footsteps that seemed to be stepping on my heart. I didn't hear any response, and I turned around slowly: "Officer Chen, I know you are here."

The particles of the fluttering snow became larger. Because of the strong north wind, the snowflakes swirled towards people's necks and pierced into the uncovered ears. The coldness melted when touched, and the coolness penetrated people's heart.

While I was watching, Chen Yang slowly walked out from behind the rushing crowd, his always firm eyes seemed to be a bit dazed perhaps because of the disturbing snowflakes.

"I know, when you knocked on my door in the morning, you were actually doubting me." I said with a sneer on my face.

Without waiting for Chen Yang's response, I continued: "But no matter how unlucky a person is, there should be a limit. This time, Yao Wen's death, Officer Chen, you have no reason to monitor me."

"We don't know each other well, and secondly, we don't have any enmity. Thirdly, we don't work in the same place. Even though we were neighbors before, he moved away before his accident happened."

My expression was indifferent, Chen Yang's sharp-edged lips were pursed even tighter, and snowflakes soon fell on his shoulders.

After waving away the snowflakes in front of him, Chen Yang's eyes regained his firmness, and he said, "I will definitely track down Xue Guan to the end!"
