After appearing on a variety show, she became popular as a descendant of Xuanmen

Chapter 40 What do the dead have in common?

The old man turned his head to face Zhang Xiaoman, but his body was still facing his home in the residential building.

If Zhang Xiaoman hadn't become much more courageous now, Bao Buqi would have been frightened by this scene and screamed that something was wrong.

"what do you wish to ask?"

Zhang Xiaoman shifted his eyes awkwardly, trying not to look at the old man.

"It's like this. You should know how many people died in the flower courtyard opposite your house, right? I just want to ask, have you found any traces of other ghosts?"

"Don't tell me, I really know a little bit about this." The old man nodded.

As soon as this matter was mentioned, the old man immediately had something to say.

Hearing this, Zhang Xiaoman was very happy.

"Old man, tell me quickly, what's going on?"

Unexpectedly, Jiang Li checked everywhere, but there was no result, and the final breakthrough point would be here.

The old man seemed to be lost in memory, so he spoke slowly.

"Half a month ago, I saw my wife sitting alone on the balcony in a daze, and I was very worried, but unfortunately she didn't know I was there. In desperation, I could only sit with her, which happened to be facing Huazhu The community in Xiaoyuan. The weather was bad that day, the night was full of dark clouds, and it was chilly everywhere. Suddenly, a fierce aura rose into the sky. I knew it must be a ghost. Just when I was about to go and have a look, the ghost disappeared. I didn't take it seriously at first, but the next day, an old woman died, and I thought it was an accident. But every time someone died, I found that the ghost had appeared, so I thought it was abnormal."

Zhang Xiaoman was overjoyed, she didn't expect the old man to know this.

Although there are not too many, it can still give Jiang Li a general direction.

"Then do you know whether that ghost is male or female, old or young?" Zhang Xiaoman asked again.

In this regard, the old man shook his head.

"I don't know about this. When I saw it, it was covered with a bloody aura. I couldn't see its face clearly, but I knew it was a ghost. Looking at the bloody aura around it, I knew it had killed One person died today, that is to say, it has already killed five people." The old man replied.

"Thank you, Grandpa, thank you for helping me answer the question." Zhang Xiaoman said with a smile.

The old man smiled and waved his hands, "You don't need to thank me, it's a trivial matter, I'll go back to see my wife first."

"Okay, you go slowly." Zhang Xiaoman nodded in response.

She couldn't wait to tell Jiang Li about this, but when Zhang Xiaoman went back, Jiang Li was sleeping soundly, so she didn't bother.

The next morning, after Jiang Li washed up, Zhang Xiaoman happily floated to her side.

"Jiang Li, I met an old man last night, and he told me something." Zhang Xiaoman immediately told Jiang Li what the old man said yesterday.

After listening, Jiang Li fell into silence.

After a moment of thought, she opened her mouth.

"That is to say, the direction of my investigation is correct. These people were indeed killed by the same ghost. It is still a ghost. But how did it escape from under my nose? The next one to kill I have no way of knowing who the person is. If I can know its next target, I will be sure to find it and understand everything about it." Jiang Li replied.

"Indeed, it is still necessary to know what these people have in common. But I can't see it. What do these people who have nothing to do with each other have in common?" Zhang Xiaoman tilted his head and thought for a while, " Could it be that they did the same thing and harmed people?"

Jiang Li chuckled, "I thought of this last night, so I plan to get up early today to chat with the grandparents in the community."

"So that's the case, then hurry up and leave." Zhang Xiaoman urged.

Before the breakfast was delivered, Jiang Li had already cleaned up, and the knock on the door sounded.

She took breakfast, and after eating, she took yesterday's trash downstairs to throw it away.

There is a gazebo not far from the trash can, and there are already six old people sitting in it, chatting at one go.

"You know the Sai on the seventh floor of Building 31. I heard that the second baby was sent to the United States, so rich."

"What is this? The couple on the third floor of Unit 22, Building [-] got divorced, and the baby is not wanted. When it comes to divorce, the baby is the one who commits the most crimes and hurts him the most. The baby said it was already I haven't been home for two days."

"Oh, I really don't know what these young people are thinking now. Anyway, when I think about it, I don't think about it at all."

Jiang Li walked slowly to the trash can, listening to these old people chatting.

Good guy, there is nothing they don't know about the east and the west, and each of them is really the community's asking.

After throwing away the trash, Jiang Li walked to the gazebo with a smile.

"Hi, grandparents, I'm Xiaojiang who just moved here yesterday, and I live in Building 26. I just heard you guys chatting, and I want to know more about this community, can we chat together?" Jiang Li asked.

Several old people looked at Jiang Li and found that she was quite handsome and looked good, so they all nodded.

"Come on, come on, sit down and chat slowly, you are so pretty." One of the old grandmas said with a smile, "If only that brat in my family could fall in love sooner, I'm looking for someone as good-looking as you."

Jiang Li laughed twice, "Where, I look very ordinary, and your grandson will definitely find a better-looking one."

"Hey, your baby girl's mouth is so sweet." The grandma smiled so much that her mouth was missing a few teeth.

"Unexpectedly, Jiang Li, you and the old man can still get along well." Zhang Xiaoman covered his mouth and smiled.

Jiang Li pretended not to hear Zhang Xiaoman's words, but continued to look at the old woman who spoke just now.

"Grandma, when I came here yesterday, I heard that the security guard also died of myocardial infarction. Someone nearby told me that another one died. I don't know what's going on? What's the matter? Several people died in our community recently, right? "Jiang Li asked casually.

The six old people fell into silence at the same time, each of them looked a little scared.

Even the old lady who was joking with Jiang Li just now didn't speak.

After a while, the old lady spoke slowly.

"Yesterday was the fifth person's death. They said it was an accidental death. I don't think it's that simple." The old woman snorted coldly.

Hearing this, Jiang Li keenly noticed something unusual.

"It wasn't an accidental death? How could it be? Isn't that what the police said?" Jiang Li asked.

Since the old grandma said that, there must be some other meaning, so Jiang Li asked calmly.

Listening to the meaning of the old lady's words, it seems that the matter is not that simple, there should be something else hidden, Jiang Li feels that she is getting closer and closer to the truth.

From what Zhang Xiaoman said and what the old lady said, she must be able to find out the reason.

I hope there will be no more dead people appearing.
