Chapter 64 Door Lock

"Midnight?" Zhou Taifu exclaimed.

It seems that Zhen Jianren was right. They don't have much time left. The deadline is before the third rehearsal.

"There are three most suspicious directions now," Yu Wen said after thinking, "First, it's Director Li. We have never seen her, but she is hiding in the dark and always paying attention to our actions. I think she is at least an insider of the incident that year."

"Second, it's the music classroom in Block C. That's where we first photographed a ghost, and it's also the only time. It means a lot to ghosts."

"Third, the equipment center," Yu Wen turned her head and looked at Jiang Cheng, "Mr. Hao said he met a ghost painting there last time."

"That's right," Jiang Cheng nodded very sincerely, and then pointed at Zhen Jianren and said, "It's him in the painting. I can see it for real! It's a great painting!"

Zhen Jianren glared at him and said angrily, "Just talk properly, don't point fingers!"

"Okay," facing these two people, Yu Wen's patience was running out, she continued to analyze, "The clues should be between these three. Time is running out, let's act separately."

Yu Wen's proposal sounded reasonable, and no one raised any objections.

Jiang Cheng and Fatty chose to go to Director Li to find out the situation. Yu Wen and others took advantage of the lack of rehearsal to go to the music classroom to look for clues.

The remaining equipment center was left to Zhen Jianren and Luo Yi.

The mission was nearing its end, so no one cared about which was more dangerous.

If the key clues were not found and the mission was terminated before midnight tomorrow, everyone would die.

After that, Yu Wen and her group left first.

When Zhen Jianren walked to the door, his figure suddenly paused, and then he turned his head and looked at Room 404 as if he suddenly realized something.

Gradually, a hint of doubt appeared in his eyes.

Here he frowned slightly, as if something was missing.

"Brother Guardian!" A voice came, and Jiang Cheng greeted enthusiastically, "After finding your portrait, please pay attention to the lower right corner of the painting!"

Zhen Jianren's train of thought was interrupted, and his face changed slightly, "What do you mean?"

Luo Yi, who had not yet left the house, also looked back at Jiang Cheng, his expression gradually became strange.

"Hu——"

Take a deep breath, Jiang Cheng sits up straight, with a solemn expression as if he is going to pay tribute to his ancestors.

Zhen Jianren can't help but get nervous.

At this moment, the former's momentum alone makes him feel uncomfortable all over.

Only the fat man smells a familiar smell

"There may be a ghost's name left there," Jiang Cheng said.

Zhen Jianren's pupils shrank unconsciously, and slowly, the whole person became excited, "You mean there is a signature on the painting?!" He said to himself: "We can get the name of the female ghost from the painting! And then confirm it by the name"

Unexpectedly

Jiang Cheng straightened up and shook his head: "No, I mean to let you die with a clear mind."

The path after the rain was a little muddy, Zhen Jianren stepped on it, and felt slippery under his feet.

The painting mentioned by Jiang Cheng lingered in his heart like a nightmare.

"Are we really going there?" Luo Yi, who followed behind him, had a strange tone.

Zhen Jianren stared at the road ahead without looking at him, "There is no need to discuss this issue."

Luo Yi closed his mouth.

The two people's footsteps made a "crunching" sound on the slippery road.

When passing a supermarket, the two bought some bread and ham sausage, and then swallowed them while walking with mineral water.

The feeling of hunger last night has continued until now.

Zhen Jianren rubbed his eyebrows. Since yesterday, his ominous premonition has never dissipated.

It was as if there were eyes staring at him.

The location of the equipment room is relatively remote, on the side of the old playground.

The playground on this side has long been abandoned.

After the rain, it was like a quagmire.

They passed by the side of the playground, trying to choose a cleaner road, but still made their shoes dirty.

Finally, they stopped.

Zhen Jianren looked up.

A shabby sign was propped up on the side, with black letters on a white background, and the words "Equipment Center" were written on it.

The door was open, but no one could be seen inside.

"Is he not here?" Luo Yi frowned and looked inside. "He should be eating breakfast in the cafeteria at this time."

Zhen Jianren thought about it and shook his head. "It shouldn't be. According to Yu Wen's description, the old man has pale skin and limps on one leg. It's a distance from the cafeteria and the road is so slippery. He won't go to the cafeteria."

"You mean he's still here?"

"It should be."

Luo Yi's face became more serious. "This old man doesn't look like an ordinary NPC. He should be an important clue."

Zhen Jianren was alert and walked around with Luo Yi. They found that there was only one door to enter the huge equipment center. There was a small door on the side, but it was sealed from the outside with wooden boards.

When they returned to the door again, the two walked up.

They didn't rush in, but hid outside the door to observe.

Holding their breath and waiting carefully for a while, they found that it was as quiet as death inside.

"What should I do?" Luo Yi asked in a low voice.

Standing here, Zhen Jianren's uneasiness became stronger.

According to Yu Wen, there was an old man inside.

But he is also a man.

As of now, he is the only male in this school besides them.

Zhen Jianren looked at the door in front of him. There was a thick chain and a dark iron lock on the door, which looked very strong.

Luo Yi also became nervous at this moment. After all, the description of Jiangcheng had an indescribable horror atmosphere. Standing here, he couldn't help but think of the female ghost painting.

What's more terrifying is that there is a huge and weird blood handprint.

"Strange" Zhen Jianren suddenly said.

Luo Yi rolled his throat and asked in a low voice: "What's strange?"

"Where does this old man usually live?"

"He should live here," Luo Yi took a look and then retracted his gaze.

He had visited some schools with many girls and knew that some teachers considered staying in school to do some work within their capacity after retirement due to health reasons.

For example, dormitory teachers, or relatively idle miscellaneous teachers, librarians, etc.

The old man should also belong to this category.

"But" Zhen Jianren pointed to the lock on the door, his expression became strange, "This lock is on the outside."

Luo Yi was stunned for a moment, and then his brows slowly frowned.

Yes, this is indeed suspicious. If the old man lives here at night, it should be locked from the inside. How could the lock be on the outside?

Unless

Zhen Jianren suddenly thought of the small door.

The small door was sealed from the outside by wooden boards, and nails as thick as baby fingers were nailed around it.

"He didn't stay here voluntarily," Zhen Jianren turned his head and stared at Luo Yi, frowning and said, "This is imprisonment."
