Chapter 1175 Fire
"Doctor..." The fat man's voice was trembling with nervousness. They had experienced many similar situations. If nothing unexpected happened, something unexpected would happen next.
The two dared not move. Jiang Cheng held his breath and looked around inch by inch. The bed, desk, wardrobe, coat rack... He was confirming the ownership of these dark black outlines, fearing that there would be one more.
Or... one of the outlines suddenly moved.
But fortunately, none of these happened. Jiang Cheng just breathed a sigh of relief, and suddenly heard the fat man's voice behind him, "Doctor, do you smell a... a lake smell?"
After a moment, Jiang Cheng also smelled the smell of a burnt lake. This familiar smell instinctively evoked his bad memories. In the underground private prison, the body of Teacher Zigui exuded the same smell.
Could it be... there is a burnt body hidden in this room?
Obviously, the fat man also noticed the problem that Jiang Cheng was thinking of. The latter asked in a trembling voice: "I think we should leave. There is something wrong with this room."
"Don't panic, maybe that thing just wants to drive us out of the room, it can only deal with us outside." Jiang Cheng remained calm and analyzed the situation in front of him.
Although he said so, the two of them slowly moved towards the door, intending to open the door and run first if an accident happened.
After arriving at the door, the two were surprised to find that the smell of burnt lake became stronger, as if the source of the smell was not in the room, but in the corridor outside.
At the same time, there was light shining through the crack of the door below.
Unlike normal light, the light tends to be orange-red, flickering.
"This seems to be fire, doctor." The fat man couldn't help but speak.
Combined with the increasingly strong smell of burnt lake, it can be judged that this ill-fated hotel has actually caught fire again!
As the smoke became thicker and thicker, the two people's breathing became difficult, but even so, Jiang Cheng did not open the door until...
"Bang, bang, bang!"
The door was suddenly knocked.
"Get out of the room!" A man's voice sounded outside, in a very urgent tone, "There is a fire downstairs, everyone rushed to put out the fire, the fire is about to get out of control, Su Xiaoxiao and her brother, as well as Du Moyu and Lu Yu, are all burned to death!"
Hearing the sound, Jiang Cheng and the fat man's faces all changed, and the two of them tacitly did not say a word.
Because they heard that the person outside was Chen Ran.
He is a ghost.
"Bang, bang, bang!" Chen Ran was still not giving up, and the sound of knocking on the door became louder, "Did you hear it? Hurry up and come out, it's a little later... a little later, when the fire burns to this floor, you will all die!"
The door was knocked "bang bang", giving people the feeling that it will be knocked open at any time, but Jiang Cheng is not worried, because it has been confirmed that Chen Ran is a ghost, so he will definitely not be able to knock open this door.
As long as no one takes the initiative to open the door
Although the fat man entered the dungeon with him, the words of the ghost bride still lingered in his ears. Don't trust anyone. Out of caution, Jiang Cheng took a step forward, blocked in front of the fat man, and stood between the fat man and the door.
If the fat man intends to open the door, he will interrupt immediately.
Ten seconds later, "Chen Ran" outside seemed to know that he couldn't deceive them, so he left a sentence "The fire is getting out of control, you hurry up and escape", and then took a step and ran away.
A burst of running footsteps came from the corridor outside, and the footsteps became farther and farther, and finally disappeared.
Jiang Cheng just took a breath, and suddenly, a hand stretched out from behind him, grabbed his arm, and pulled back. Jiang Cheng subconsciously turned his head and saw the fat man's face, with a strange look on his face.
Jiang Cheng's heart "clicked", but unexpectedly, the next second, the fat man pulled Jiang Cheng back, and stretched out his finger, making a silent gesture to him.
Then, he used that hand to point to the crack under the door.
The light coming through the crack was different from before. It was obviously blocked by something. Jiang Cheng immediately understood that "Chen Ran" had not left and was hiding behind the door, waiting for them to open the door!
The thing blocking the light was his two legs.
But the next second, the light coming through the crack gradually decreased. Jiang Cheng reacted and immediately pulled the fat man to hide aside. Soon, the light coming through the crack disappeared completely.
The fat man looked at Jiang Cheng with frightened eyes, and the latter nodded to him gently.
At this moment, "Chen Ran" was lying on the ground, looking into the room through the crack of the door.
The two held their breath and dared not breathe until the light returned to normal. At the same time, a "kick-kick-tap" sound of footsteps came from outside the door, like a dying person, dragging his feet on the ground.
Jiang Cheng and the fat man waited for another minute before slowly walking out from behind the corner.
The fat man wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and whispered: "Doctor, you are right, this Chen Ran... Chen Ran is definitely problematic, should we notify Boss Lin?"
When mentioning Lin Wan'er, Jiang Cheng shook his head, "There is no need."
Jiang Cheng knew that if it was the real Lin Wan'er, then Chen Ran's tricks would not be hidden from her. If Lin Wan'er was fake, then reminding a ghost would be like digging a hole for himself.
I don't know if it was because Chen Ran left, the fire and the smell of the burnt lake outside dissipated a lot. The two even suspected that the smell of the burnt lake came from Chen Ran.
The fat man's action of reminding himself made Jiang Cheng feel a little relieved. If the fat man was a ghost, he could have just joined forces with "Chen Ran" outside the room to open the door and let the other party in.
After realizing that the danger had left, Jiang Cheng asked Fatty to sit down and told him about his discoveries and speculations.
When he heard that Zigui, Lu Yu and Xia Qiang were all ghosts, Fatty's face turned ugly. It was obvious that he was afraid.
"There are ghosts mixed in with Lin Wan'er and her group. I even suspect..." Jiang Cheng paused, "Lin Wan'er herself has problems, but I don't have any definite evidence yet."
Fatty swallowed hard and said carefully: "Doctor, if even Boss Lin has problems, then I think except for the two of us, maybe... maybe all of them are ghosts!"
Jiang Cheng nodded, "This possibility cannot be ruled out."
During the conversation, Jiang Cheng's mobile phone vibrated. He took out the phone and took a look. His eyes changed quickly. Lin Wan'er's name appeared on the screen.
"Boss Lin... Boss Lin?" Fatty also became nervous.
Jiang Cheng fell into hesitation and did not press the answer button for a long time. After vibrating about 6 or 7 times, the phone returned to calm.
The next second, before they could catch their breath, another vibration sound was heard. The fat man was stunned for a moment, then reached into his pocket and took out his mobile phone with trembling fingers.
