Chapter 114 The Vanishing Staircase

Since they left Zhang Xiaoxiao's house, they have been squatting in the opposite unit building. During the process, they didn't see half a person going upstairs, but there were two corpses in Zhang Xiaoxiao's house.

There is nothing to say about Zhang Xiaoxiao's body, but where did her husband Zhang Chen's body come from?
He remembered that when he was at the Dongyu District Police Station earlier, the young policeman mentioned it to him, saying that the surveillance video of the community had recorded "dead people going home".

But now it seems that this is not the case at all, either he misunderstood what the policeman meant at the time, or something else happened.

"I should really have asked to see that surveillance video."

Xia Qi was very annoyed by his careless behavior before. He really wanted to get the policeman to call him out, but he forgot about it when he asked about it.

But it's not too late to make up for it. He will go to the Dongyu District Police Station tomorrow, just to verify his guess about the incident.

Pretending to be annoyed and coming out of the corridor, Xia Qi found that both Shen Ruotong and Zhao Anguo seemed to have seen a ghost, staring at the white wall diagonally above them with wide eyes.

"What are you looking at? Is something wrong?"

"stairs……"

Zhao Anguo raised his hand and pointed at it tremblingly, then turned his head and shouted in horror:
"I just saw a staircase leading up!"

"The stairs to the top?"

Hearing this, Xia Qi's heart skipped a beat, he hurriedly walked to the direction of Zhao Anguo's finger, and then groped along the wall.

"It's a real wall, not an illusion."

Xia Qi ruled out the possibility that it was a hallucination, but Zhao Anguo's hellish look didn't seem like he was lying, but he really didn't see any stairs.

"I saw it too."

At this time, Shen Ruotong also withdrew his gaze from the wall, looked at Xia Qi and said:

"Although it was only for a moment, I did see a staircase leading to the top. If even An Guo saw it, then there should be nothing wrong."

"Well, of course I know that."

Xia Qi did not deny this point, and after taking a look at the white wall unwillingly, he said to himself:

"But why is it gone now?"

"That's why it's strange. Heck, it's nothing new. It's the first time I've seen scenes that appear out of thin air and then disappear out of thin air."

After Zhao Anguo finished speaking tremblingly, he couldn't help leaning towards Xia Qi's position, asking for help:
"Senior, you are well-informed, can you analyze what's going on?"

"I don't know." Xia Qi shook his head to express his ignorance, and then reminded the two of them:
"Okay, since we know that this is the case, we just need to be more careful in the future. For now, let's go back first."

"Go back now? What's going on inside?"

It can be seen that Shen Ruotong is somewhat unwilling to give up, and wants to understand the extra stairs.

"What else can happen, Zhang Xiaoxiao is dead, and her husband Zhang Chen who has been unable to be contacted."

"Is her husband in there too?"

"Well, I was also very surprised by that."

"But senior, we have been waiting outside before, and we didn't even see anyone going upstairs. Could it be that Zhang Xiaoxiao's husband is really a ghost?"

"Let's study this matter after we return to the hotel."

Repeating his thoughts again, Xia Qi was afraid that Shen Ruotong would not give up, so he added:
"Even if we can really wait out the stairs today, so what? Who of us dares to go up?

You go up, or you go up, or I go up? "

"Okay, let's go back first."

Shen Ruotong also wanted to understand at this time, and said like Xia Qi compromised.

As for Zhao Anguo, Xia Qiduo didn't need to say anything, it was completely his attendant, he almost got what he said, and Zhao Anguo was right.

After the three of them came out of the residential building, they did not immediately return to the hotel they had rented. Instead, they found a 24-hour small restaurant nearby and ordered a few small dishes for supper.

During the meal, Xia Qi briefly talked with Zhao Anguo about the case that just happened.

"Now that Zhang Xiaoxiao and Zhang Chen are dead, the only people who meet the requirements are Wang Qianhua and He Chong who live in the West District. I think these two people are the targets of the next killing by the ghost.

But just knowing these is of no use, because if we still have nothing to do, then the tragedy will still be staged as scheduled.

We can only watch helplessly, or wait with hindsight. "

Speaking of this, Xia Qi couldn't help laughing bitterly, sighed and said:
"Hey, but the problem is that we really have nothing to do right now."

"Senior, don't be discouraged, we have only been here in Xining City for a long time, and we may not be here for a day, but we have already analyzed and investigated a lot of things, and the resolution of this incident is just around the corner.

Come seniors, eat some kidneys, staying up late is not good for the kidneys, you need to supplement them. "

Seeing that Zhao Anguo was really going to put it in his bowl, Xia Qi hurriedly stopped him:
"You can eat the dishes you ordered, I think you need supplements."

Ignoring Zhao Anguo who only knows how to eat, Xia Qi saw that Shen Ruotong had been listening to him, he couldn't help being a little relieved, and continued:

"What An Guo said is actually correct, we have been in contact with the incident for less than a day, so we really can't be in a hurry.

Although there is no way to deal with it right now, many clues have indeed been found.

For example, the target chosen by the ghost to kill, the staircase that appeared and then disappeared, and how the original dead person appeared in the home.

I think if we solve these doubts, we may not be far away from completely resolving this incident.

Tomorrow, we will go to the Dongyu District Police Station again to see the surveillance video that we have not seen before, and then we will visit Wang Qianhua and He Chong again to see if they can be vaccinated in advance. "

Xia Qi spoke out his plan for tomorrow. After speaking, he looked at Shen Ruotong who was thinking, and asked:

"Any thoughts over there?"

"Not yet, if there is, I will tell you directly."

The atmosphere of this supper can be described as quite dull, Xia Qi was completely absent-minded, basically didn't want to eat after a few mouthfuls.He tried to use the communicator to call Leng Yue, but Leng Yue's side seemed to have disappeared, and there was no response at all.

Seeing that Xia Qi had been talking to himself through the communicator, Zhao Anguo asked curiously:
"Senior, who are you still talking to at this late hour?"

"It's also from the company, but it's much better than ours." Xia Qi can be regarded as bragging about Leng Yue wherever he goes, after all, his friend Niubi also has face when he says it.

"Better than senior? I really want to meet him, but he doesn't reply to you, maybe because he is also carrying out the incident. Two people who are both in the supernatural incident cannot use the communicator to communicate."
