"Yi Geng, do you know why your father locked up the fourth floor?"

Looking at the child leading the way down the stairs, Li Gui asked tentatively.

Shaking his head, the little boy did not turn around. He held on to the handrail and led the way, and said obediently.

"I don't know, anyway, dad locked it up a few days after we moved here, and..."

When the child said this, he paused for a moment and raised his head as if he was remembering.

After a few seconds, he walked down.

"There is an aunt living on the fourth floor. Dad said that aunt doesn't like children, so she doesn't want me to go there."

Is there a woman living on the fourth floor? !

Because I learned through Xu Meng that when Yang Xueer disappeared, a tall woman lived near the room.

Therefore, Li Gui is particularly sensitive to this information.

"Have you ever seen that aunt? How old is she?"

Rao Yigeng shook his head and nodded again.

When he walked to the second floor corridor, he seemed unsure for a moment.

"I think I've seen it before, but I forgot."

"Boss, the woman on the fourth floor is probably the strange incident posted on the Internet, the woman's scream at night. I heard that some netizens who came here to investigate found that every time late at night, there would be a woman on the fourth floor. There were screams and cries for help, but when they sneaked up, there was nothing. Could it be, could it be a ghost?"

The more Wang Dingfeng talked, the more frightened he became. He rubbed his goosebumps on his arms and couldn't help but swallow.

"I don't know, but there is something wrong with the fourth floor."

Hearing Wang Dingfeng's words, Li Gui couldn't help but frowned.

Could it be that the mysterious woman who killed Yang Xueer was imprisoned?

Or, it was not her who killed Yang Xueer at all, but Yang Xueer who committed suicide, and then she helped dispose of Yang Xueer's body.

He was eventually discovered, used as a threat, and imprisoned on the fourth floor?

The old friend’s long-cherished wish is to save this mysterious woman?

Li Gui's brain is in chaos now, without any prompting.

He really didn't know what the word "old friend" meant.

The only thing that is certain is that there must be some secret on the fourth floor of Yongmian Apartment.

bang bang bang~

The little boy in front had already led the way to a room at the far end of the corridor on the second floor.

It was the painter named Wang Liang who had talked with Li Gui before.

About ten seconds after Yigeng knocked on the door, the door slowly opened.

"Ah... Yigeng, and you guys, is there something going on?"

For some reason, the thin painter looked a little nervous.

While only half of his body was exposed, his thin body was also tightly blocking the door.

"We just came here to get to know the tenants here and wanted to ask if there is anything interesting nearby. Am I disturbing you?"

This time, no child was asked to introduce their purpose. After touching Yigeng's hair and making him step back a little, Li Gui took the initiative to step forward and said.

Only then did he realize that Wang Liang had changed into cleaner clothes, and his hair seemed to have been washed on one side. Judging from the hair in his hands, he was going out?

Seeing Li Gui walking to the door, the thin painter seemed even more nervous.

The door closed even smaller, and at the same time, he leaned forward a little.

There was also a hand behind the door, which seemed to be holding something, but Li Gui couldn't see it clearly.

"It's okay, it's just, I was just painting... nearby. If it's nearby, there is a Longquan Pond in front of it. It's pretty good. Okay, you can take a look."

"Oh, okay, thank you, I'm sorry to bother you."

Li Gui seemed to have discovered something, his eyes narrowed, but he still expressed his thanks quietly.

"It's okay, it's okay. Then, you guys are busy. I'll go on and paint. Haha, bye, bye..."

With a creaking sound, the painter's door was slowly closed. During this period, Li Gui never saw anything in his room.

"Brother Li Gui, brother Wang Dingfeng, these are the only five people living in the apartment including dad and me. I have to go do my homework. Brothers, do you have anything else you need help with?"

Having completed his task gloriously, Rao Yigeng raised his head and looked at his two brothers curiously.

"No, thank you Yigeng. Go and do your homework. I'll play with you next time when I have time."

"Yeah, goodbye brother!"

After waving his hand, Rao Yigeng smiled and ran to the first floor of the staircase.

He disappeared around the corner in an instant.

"Boss, I feel like something is wrong with that painter."

Until the little boy left completely, the two people walked forward in the dark with flashlights.

Wang Dingfeng took the initiative and whispered to Li Gui.

"Maybe it's just some social fear, most artists are like this."

After looking at Wang Liang's door behind him, Li Gui took Wang Dingfeng and walked toward the two rooms opened by everyone.

In fact, as soon as he approached the painter, he discovered something was wrong.

The whole house smells very weird.

It was very similar to the smell he smelled in the operating room when he was undergoing surgery.

It seems to be blood...but it's a little different.

Moreover, the painter said that he was painting, but he was wearing clean clothes, and with the mask in his hand, he was obviously dressed to go out.

Why lie to him that he is painting?

Could it be that he didn't want someone to sneak into his room while he was out?

What's in his room?

And what is that thing hidden behind the door in his right hand?

There are too many doubts about this painter.

However, he did not tell Wang Dingfeng about these findings, lest the timid fat man would start yelling again.

"Huh... I feel like I'm going to be scared to death just for a while."

Opening the door, luckily no fool locked the door this time.

Chapter 95 Mysterious woman? (Third update)

After leaving the darkness and returning to the room, Wang Dingfeng, whose nerves had been tense, finally breathed a sigh of relief when illuminated by the warm light.

Although he had been out for less than an hour, he felt that this was the longest hour in his life.

During the process, he was frightened several times and his back felt cold, and he wanted to turn around and run away.

If it weren't for Li Gui in front of him, he might have come back as soon as he went out.

Thinking of this, Wang Dingfeng glanced with admiration at Li Gui who put his backpack on the table and leaned against the wall to make a phone call.

The latter's expression didn't show any fear at all, but instead looked like he was thinking.

Sure enough, the boss is the boss. It is correct to call him the boss this time! ! !

"Hey, Officer Chen, it's me, Li Gui, I'm sorry to bother you again."

He had no idea that, without realizing it, he had become a worldly expert in the eyes of others.

At this time, after Li Gui discovered that Wu Zhouzheng was the only one in the room who was sleeping on the bed, he immediately took advantage of the idiot's idle time to dial Officer Chen's number over there.

"Huh? Li Gui? Did something happen again?"

Officer Chen over there was a little surprised, and it was very rare to use the Chinese character "you".

Thinking about it, he was the one who called Li Gui to inform him of the progress of the case of Mi Ran's disappearance.

As a result, during the recent period, almost all Li Gui contacted him.

And he either asked about some weird cases, or simply said that someone wanted to kill him.

Officer Chen had been in the police for a long time and had a good temper, otherwise he would have been arrested for obstructing official duties.

"That's something."

Thinking of this, Li Gui smiled awkwardly. In fact, he originally wanted to contact Wang Lanxin.

But thinking that Yongmian Apartment was not under the jurisdiction of Jiulin City, he had just troubled others again in the morning.

So after much thought, I decided to call Officer Chen, who had a higher position.

Looking at WeChat Moments a few days ago, it seems that Officer Chen has just been promoted to a third-level police inspector.

It's just that he has no idea about the police establishment, and he forgot to ask where Officer Chen was transferred.

"That's right, I would like to ask Officer Chen to help me check how many cases have occurred in Yongmian Apartment in Shangyang County from its establishment to now. Have any of them been cracked?"

"Yongmian Apartment in Shangyang County?"

Upon hearing this address, Officer Chen was silent for a moment.

There is no answer yet.

Only then did Li Gui notice the sound of typing on the keyboard coming from the phone over there.

It is estimated that Officer Chen was working at the police station when he made the call.

"Wait a moment, I'll log in to the police file and check it for you."

"Okay, please, Officer Chen."

Hearing this, Li Gui silently breathed a sigh of relief.

He was already prepared for Officer Chen to reject him.

After all, he wasn't particularly close to Officer Chen. At most, he was just a close friend.

There is no need for people to help him again and again.

But maybe because he didn't investigate the truth about his sudden disappearance, Officer Chen felt a little guilty towards him as a young man.

It seemed that whenever Li Gui called him and asked him about some information that could be released, he would be told.

"Well, we found out that since the establishment of Yongmian Apartment until now in 2022, a total of four cases have occurred, the largest of which was an accidental fire case, two missing cases, and one suicide case."

"four pairs?"

This number surprised Li Gui slightly. It was much less than he expected.

He originally thought that the scene where a red-clothed ghost like Yang Xueer existed would be like Anze High School, with countless murder cases. Unexpectedly, since its establishment, including Yang Xueer's own disappearance, there had only been four cases.

"In addition to the accidental fire case, Officer Chen, can you tell me the investigation results of the other three cases that year?"

"Um...wait a moment."

There is nothing I can do, even though I know it is too much trouble for others.

But Li Gui now needs new information to advance his process.

Otherwise, if he doesn't even understand what Yang Xueer's long-cherished wish means, how can he fulfill it.

Don't end up working in vain for a long time.

It's really dead.

"In addition to the accidental fire case, the victims of the other two missing cases are 22-year-old female college student Yang Xueer and 38-year-old Yuan Dandan.

According to the case records at the time, Yang Xueer was determined to be missing when the number of victims was counted after the fire.

According to other surviving residents on the fourth floor at that time, the sound of TV would come from Yang Xueer's house every night, so the police at the time classified her as a missing case.
