Chapter 319: The Corpse Man (21)

After finally gaining a short period of freedom, Qiao Wei certainly would not let go of such a good opportunity.

According to the defendant's information she saw in Papa An's complaint in her memory, she found the "village in the city" where Papa An was injured while working.

That is the place where Mrs. Jing died.

The urban village is a gathering place for migrants in the city. The environment is not very good, but the location is not too far from the office buildings in the city and the factories in the suburbs. The key is that the rent is cheap.

Some people also call it - slums.

The houses here are mostly tube-shaped buildings, each room is about eight square meters, with a bed and a small folding wardrobe, the interior is extremely crowded, and there is almost no extra space left.

Many migrant workers who are struggling will choose to rent such a place.

Here, you can see all kinds of people.

It was 10:30 in the morning when Qiao Wei went.

For white-collar workers who work from [-] to [-], [-] to [-], or [-] to [-], no matter what, this point belongs to the work point.

But the village in the city is very strange.

Almost every household here is occupied by someone.

Some just came home from night shift to go to bed, while others just idled around and had nothing to do.

Qiao Wei walked in along the narrow alley, and met no fewer than five people head-on.

There are middle-aged women with vicissitudes of life holding their children.

There are listless and exhausted young men.

There are also old people with cloudy eyes on crutches.

Everyone's face is engraved with deep loss and hopelessness.

Qiao Wei looked up at the tube building surrounded by tall buildings on all sides.

Surrounded by high-rise buildings on eight sides, there is no wind or water, no grass grows, and it is almost dead.

From the perspective of Feng Shui, this is a very taboo "trapped dragon situation".

Surviving in a difficult situation, facing the cramped space every day, the line of sight is blocked by tall buildings, people walking in the alleys, there is also an illusion that the tall buildings may collapse at any time, it is difficult not to suppress it.

strangeness.

Qiao Wei continued to walk towards Building No. 44, where Mr. Jing and Mrs. Jing once lived.

How could a seriously ill person like such a lifeless place?
Qiao Wei went door to door looking for the house number in her memory. Several times, she encountered vigilant tenants who came to question her. She only said that she was a friend of Mr. Jing in Room 3 on the 303rd floor and came to visit him.

When Papa An fell from the upstairs, many people around saw it. This incident caused a lot of trouble here. As soon as Qiao Wei said it, the tenants remembered it.

"Oh, you mean the resident of 303. He doesn't live here. He moved out after his wife died a few months ago. Later, he asked someone to do the renovation, but the renovation was not completed. The workers came from the third floor. I fell down, and I heard that 303 has sued for this matter and lost a lot of money."

The person who spoke had a loud voice, and when he yelled, several neighbors on the left and right ran out after hearing the sound.

"He moved away long ago. He is a big boss. Unlike us poor people, he has several houses in the city."

"That room was very evil. First, my wife died, then I went crazy, and finally I threw the decorator down."

Qiao Wei captured the key words sensitively, "Is he crazy too?"

"That's right, during the period when his wife just died, I met him once and asked him when he would do something for nothing. His face was pale, with dark circles under his eyes. He was neither human nor ghost. Yes! I don’t know what the smell of smoke is, but my nose is choked. I thought I was kind enough to ask, but it turned out that he was fine, and he jumped up and yelled at me, 'She is fine, what is she doing for nothing'!"

"Who did you just say died? Mao Ruirui?"

Mao Ruirui is Mrs. Jing's name.

"That's right, that's right, that's the girl. She's pretty and has a lot of temperament, but she's not in good spirits. It's a pity that she's young."

The tenants here were indifferent at first glance, but they became enthusiastic after chatting for a while, and revealed a lot of private affairs of the Jing family couple to Qiao Wei.

For example, Mrs. Jing is a very gentle and friendly woman, but her husband, Mr. Jing, has a bad temper and controls her very strictly and doesn't allow her to go out.One time a neighbor rushed to the door and asked Madam Jing to copy a water meter and stick it on the door. Mr. Jing found out about it, and Mr. Jing raised a stool and went to someone's house to smash things that night.

For example, the relationship between the husband and wife is not as good as others think. They often quarrel and cry together after the quarrel.

For example, the young couple didn't know what they were beating on in the middle of the night, making endless clanging and clanging noises.

For example, some people have seen Mr. Jing bring other girls home in the middle of the night, and Mrs. Jing, who has always been dignified and gentle, accused him emotionally. The witnesses thought that she was pissed to death by her husband.

There are too many examples, too many accidents.

Everyone sees different things, and the stories they piece together are also different.

So, which one is the closest to the truth?

The tenants also kindly reminded Qiao Wei: "The law and order in this area is very poor. Be careful when you go out as a girl."

Qiao Wei repeated subconsciously: "Is the law and order here very bad?"

"Yes, there are always residents being burglarized. It's not bad, you don't know. What's more terrifying is the garbage station at the entrance of the alley. There are garbage pickers digging out carrion and bones from it several times, oops , don't mention how disgusting it is!"

Rotten flesh and...bones?
Qiao Wei turned around abruptly, looking at Room 303 with the closed door.

The environment in the tube building is dark and damp, and the sunlight cannot come in. Outside the old and dilapidated black wooden door of Room 303, a simple anti-theft door was newly installed.

Through the railing on the anti-theft door, only a boundless darkness can be seen.

Big dark clouds pressed down on the village in the center of the trapped dragon, trapping the land into an unsolvable deadlock, only the darkness that swallowed everything.

—Will it be what she guessed?

Suddenly there was a gust of wind blowing, Qiao Wei was so cold that goose bumps appeared on her arms.

She couldn't help rubbing her arms.

Huh?
By the way, she is a skeleton, so would she feel cold?
Qiao Wei instantly felt hopeless.

It doesn't matter if you don't have any supernatural powers, but you still have to eat, defecate, freeze, and be hungry like ordinary humans... Such a spicy chicken skeleton is not appropriate!
Qiao Wei did not slip into Room 303.

She's got the clues she wants to know.

As for 303, it is just an empty shell house.

So what if you go in or not?

Endings are predetermined.

Walking through the narrow alley, the old machine in Qiao Wei's pocket vibrated.

She had the cheek to ask Zhuang Shu to come. Originally, she wanted a smart phone to play games. Unexpectedly, after Zhuang Shu pondered, she dug out an old phone of unknown decades from the old things of her ancestors and charged it. It still works after that.

With a big wave of his hand, Zhuang Shu generously rewarded Qiao Wei with this old antique.

There is only one person's phone number stored in this phone, and Qiao Wei couldn't help laughing when she saw the note of "Favorite Death Change" flashing on the screen.
