Chapter 139 Shoe Prints
"Since the ghost has left, let's hurry up," Zhou Rong glanced around. In the dim environment, he was full of anxiety. "Everyone, spread out and search. I'll go to the kitchen."
"I'll be nearby in case the ghost suddenly comes back," Pei Gan said immediately.
After that, the two looked at Jiang Cheng. Now only the second floor was left unsearched.
Obviously, they were going to leave the unfamiliar place to him.
"Exciting!" Jiang Cheng suddenly became excited.
The tense Zhou Rong was frightened by Jiang Cheng's sudden shout. Pei Gan was even worse. Because of his age, he suddenly felt wet.
"Then I'll leave it to Mr. Yin."
Zhou Rong, with a pale face, didn't stop after saying that. He went straight to the kitchen door. The ghost came out from this door, and the sound of cutting vegetables not long ago was also.
Pei Gan was now a little afraid of Jiang Cheng from the bottom of his heart. This man seemed to have a problem with his brain. In order not to be implicated by Jiang Cheng, Pei Gan also chose to stay away from him and search in another direction.
Jiang Cheng came to the stairs at a leisurely pace. He did not go upstairs immediately. Instead, after thinking for a while, he suddenly squatted down and put his ear close to the wall near the stairs.
Because of the visual field, Pei Gan could not see him for the time being and thought he had gone upstairs.
There was a thin layer of dust on the ground inside the building.
Jiang Cheng's eyes slowly swept over the stairs, and some dust seemed to be rubbed off.
He narrowed his eyes slightly, and then took a few steps up the stairs, but the seemingly large movements actually made little sound.
He chose a position with a good view and squatted down, where he found several shoe prints.
The shoe prints were messy and unclear, as if someone had left them when running in a panic.
Combined with Pei Gan's statement, this should be Jiang Zhongyi, who left them before his death.
He carefully identified several shoe prints and soon determined that they were not the shoe prints of one person, but of two people, and judging from the size, they should be two adult men.
He immediately thought of Penfolds who disappeared on the first night.
It seems that he has also been here and was attacked by ghosts here.
Just as Jiang Cheng stood up and prepared to change his position and carefully look at the shoe prints left behind, his peripheral vision flashed, and his leg that was about to fall suddenly stopped.
Just as he was about to land, he found another shoe print.
The size of this shoe print was obviously different from the previous two. It was smaller and narrower, as if it was left by a woman.
Thinking of this, he immediately looked at his feet.
There were also traces of dust being rubbed off a little bit beside where he was standing.
It was as if there was a woman who chose to stand in the same position with the same action as Jiang Cheng, observing the shoe prints on the stairs.
For the first time, a different emotion appeared in Jiang Cheng's eyes.
He looked up at the dark corner of the stairs, and then slowly retreated with extremely slow movements.
Just as he turned around, he suddenly found a face behind the kitchen door.
It was Zhou Rong.
But at this moment, he seemed to be even paler than before.
Pei Gan also searched around and came back.
Jiang Cheng pretended to have searched upstairs and walked down the stairs without finding anything.
"How is it?" Pei Gan looked at Jiang Cheng and asked in a low voice.
Jiang Cheng shook his head pretending to be deep.
Pei Gan licked his lips, quickly glanced at the stairs, and then said in a strange tone: "Why didn't I hear any footsteps upstairs? Mr. Yin was not afraid and didn't search."
Hearing this, Jiang Cheng immediately made way for the stairs, stared at Pei Gan very aggrievedly and said: "If you don't believe me, go up and take a look."
Pei Gan glanced at the dark corner at the end of the stairs, his throat rolled, and then his mouth opened, but he didn't say much.
"I think you can come in and take a look," Zhou Rong's voice was strange, as if he was trying to suppress it, as if he would vomit it out immediately if he didn't suppress it.
At the same time, there was a faint smell of blood wafting out of the kitchen.
Pei Gan's face suddenly became ugly, and it was obvious that he was thinking of something.
But in the end, he moved his feet and walked over with Jiang Cheng.
Zhou Rong stepped back and made way for the two of them.
Pei Gan was the first to walk in, and Jiang Cheng followed him.
As soon as he entered the door, a strong smell of blood hit him, mixed with a stench of rotting meat. Pei Gan couldn't help but almost vomited.
On the ground was a large black stove, built entirely with stone bricks, and the part next to the lime ground was covered with a thick layer of yellow mud.
There were a few blue and white porcelain bowls in the place where the tableware was stored, scattered, and most of them were missing corners.
There was also a huge basin covered with a wooden board.
The black stove was covered with blood, just like the scene of dismemberment in the movie.
Not like, this is it!
Zhou Rong had obviously seen what was in the basin, so when he lifted the wooden board covering the basin this time, he just took a deep breath, but Pei Gan's face turned pale.
Inside the basin were pieces of chopped meat, some of which were oddly colored and should be internal organs.
Even more terrifying, they saw a finger that had been chopped and had its bones chopped, but still had some flesh and skin attached.
Pei Gan, who was the weakest, finally vomited as his stomach churned.
Jiang Cheng jumped away immediately.
Zhou Rong's reaction was a step slower. When he wanted to hide again, it was too late. Dirt splashed on his shoes, and he hurriedly stepped back.
The lime ground was covered with blood.
Although the blood was not dry, it had become sticky and thick. When you stepped on it, it made a "crunching" sound, which made people feel nervous and left a shallow shoe print.
"Hmm?" Jiang Cheng suddenly spoke.
Zhou Rong immediately looked at Jiang Cheng, but before he could speak, he heard the latter lower his voice and said vigilantly: "Did you hear any sound just now?"
"What sound?"
"It seems to be upstairs," Jiang Cheng turned around and walked towards the door, and said quickly: "You stay here, I'll go and see."
"I'll go with you," Zhou Rong followed.
Suddenly, his arm was pulled and his body suddenly stopped.
"Mr. Zhou," Pei Gan's face was very ugly, but he still held Zhou Rong's arm and lowered his voice: "Let him go alone, let's find clues first, the ghost may be back soon."
In the few seconds of delay, Jiang Cheng had already left the kitchen, and his shadow could not be seen.
Zhou Rong slowly turned his head and looked at Pei Gan's face full of sorrow. After a few seconds, he suddenly smiled: "Okay."
"I have found the clue," Zhou Rong said while walking backwards. His walking posture was strange, and his strength was much greater. The weak Pei Gan was almost carried away by him.
