Chapter 739 ‘Rain’ Girl

"Did you receive a phone call at the entrance of the corridor tonight?" I opened my eyes wide and couldn't believe it: "Grandma, please recall carefully, at what time did he receive the call?"

I wanted to compare the times and see if the call this person answered was the one I made on my show phone.

"I don't know." The old man pointed to his eyes, "I can't see, I just heard these."

"Then did he say anything strange?"

"Probably not..." The old man couldn't be sure and couldn't provide me with any more clues.

I thought for a while and looked at the old man: "Grandma, you can't see, how do you usually distinguish the tenants in the building?"

I didn't mean to doubt the old man, I was just curious and wanted to figure out some issues.

"If your eyes are blind, your ears will get better and better. Everyone's footsteps in this building are different. You can actually hear them if you listen carefully." The old woman tidied the silk and satin on the bed: "For example, Bai Ya'er The sound of her footsteps was very crisp, and all her shoes were high heels, which made a lot of noise when going up and down the stairs. The doctor was rather slovenly, and there were always debris left under his shoes. When he walked, he felt like he was dragging something. "Zhu Li has a characteristic of walking slowly. He is never in a hurry."

The old man's words only represent her one-sided view. Judging based on hearing alone will inevitably lead to errors. Besides, the footsteps may be deliberately used to confuse the other party.

"Grandma, please tell me what are the characteristics of the footsteps of the person who answered the phone?"

"He walks very fast and is always in a hurry, which is completely opposite to Zhu Li. By the way, he should be wearing sneakers and his steps are very light. If the sound insulation of the building was not good, I might not be able to hear clearly."

"Contrary to Zhu Li's situation?" I frowned. What happened was different from what I had expected. "What is this man's name? When did he move into the Red Building? Do you know what his occupation is?"

"He moved into the Red Mansion about three months ago. He lives in a room at the far end of the corridor on the top floor of Unit 4. He never communicates with anyone. I really didn't realize that this person has been around since he moved in unless you told me. I haven't said a word to the other tenants yet!" The old man was very sure: "Those monsters regard me as one of their kind. I am the only one in the apartment building who dares to go out late at night. Sometimes anyone who encounters trouble will say hello to me. Only this person is a monster. Exception. Not just me, I don’t remember him talking to anyone.”

I haven't even said anything, and there is no need for me to ask about my career and living habits. The old lady definitely doesn't know.

"According to what you say, this is really a weirdo." I thought about things in my mind and replied intermittently.

"It's no surprise that there is chaos outside the Beijing Customs. There are homeless vagrants, wanted criminals, and even students who have run away from home. The tenants in the red building are all kinds of strange people, and there are all kinds of people." The old man cleaned up. Good things in the bamboo basket, I didn’t continue talking.

I sat silently, thinking about what the old man said. Although the person she was talking about looked like a show host, there was a big flaw in his words - the large-screen mobile phones at the show did not have ringtones, so This could just be a coincidence.

"Wearing sneakers, living alone on the top floor, never talking to anyone, and going out on time every three days. There must be something wrong with this person's identity, but compared to the show host, I think he is more likely to be a murderer on the run." None of the show anchors are simple. In my opinion, Zhu Li is the only one in the entire Red Mansion that I can't see through.

"Butcher? Or the host of the show at the Cancer Research Hospital? Who did I call?" It was almost winter, and the coldness came. I moved my body: "Grandma, wait until I finish handling the things in the red building. When you find the person you are looking for, go to the ancient building and help you figure out how Jun Sheng appeared here."

"Wait a minute, there is something else I want to explain to you." The old man hesitated, as if she was not sure about what she was going to say next.

"What's wrong?"

"In addition to the monsters and tenants in the Red Building, there is something that can barely be called a human. She has appeared before, but she has disappeared recently."

The old man's words caught my attention: "What other secrets are there in this red building?"

"It's not a secret. The tenants here actually know it." She pointed to the bright red wooden door: "Originally, the door in the Red Building was not bright red. Just because something happened, the tenants in the building spontaneously opened the door. Painted red.”

"What is it? Is it related to obsession?"

The old man shook his head: "It has something to do with a woman."

"Woman?" I slowed down.

"Yes, that woman lived in the pig cage apartment with Zhu Li. They seemed to be husband and wife." The old man slowly recalled: "The woman was completely obedient to Zhu Li, and could even be said to have given up her dignity. It seems to me like she lives for Zhu Li."

"I really don't understand, why would anyone like someone like Zhu Li?" I muttered unconsciously: "What happened next?"

"Nothing happened later." The old man smiled bitterly: "I don't know when that woman disappeared. None of us realized it. It wasn't until one night when someone jumped from the building that we realized something was wrong. According to the person who jumped from the building, The man's neighbor said that he saw a woman with long hair and a black umbrella on the stairs in the middle of the night. She seemed to be looking for something. The man who jumped off the building found that the woman was different from the monster, and out of good intentions, wanted to save She took him to her home, and not long after, he jumped off the building."

"What?" After hearing what the old man said, I was a little surprised. The person who jumped off the building clearly had good intentions, and it seemed that he had not been controlled by obsession.

"Long hair? Holding an umbrella in the corridor?" The old man's description reminded me of the legend I heard outside Beijing Customs. "Does the 'Rain' Jurchen that has been circulated really exist? And is it related to the Red Mansion?"

"When you meet the monsters in the old Longchang site, at most you will be manipulated, lose yourself, and become a beast worse than a pig or a dog. But when you meet the woman holding an umbrella, you will end up dead, without exception." The old man sighed. : "No one has seen that woman's face, but some people say that her back is similar to the woman who moved in with Zhu Li. Some people have also questioned Zhu Li, but in the end it was ignored. You want to be in the Red Mansion Be careful when looking for someone, she often appears on rainy nights."

I could hear the worry in the old man's voice, so I replied, "Grandma, don't worry."

Under the pillow at Bai Yaer's house, I found a set of wigs. At that time, I thought she was pretending to be the 'Yu' girl. Looking back now, I'm afraid she was just being used by Zhu Li, the one with an umbrella who always appeared on rainy nights. Faceless women are real.

"This woman is also related to Zhu Li. The center of everything is Zhu Li." During the task delegation before the live broadcast, I received a call from a woman. Her tone was cold to the bone. The sentence that impressed me the most was - —Why did you pierce my heart, but you still think it's not pretty enough? If this sentence were placed on Zhu Li, it would be extremely appropriate.

After all, the devil has no conscience.

With the basic idea in mind, I stopped staying. After thanking the old man, I turned around and left.

When I walked to the door of the bedroom, a short black figure saw me coming out, quickly gave way, and hid far away.

"You're really timid." I didn't mean to laugh at him. On the contrary, it was precisely because he was such a timid and cowardly person that he was able to stand up at the last moment and choose to be eaten instead of the old man. I feel sorry.

Without saying anything else, I took out my show phone, put on the Good and Evil Shura mask again, opened the door and entered the corridor.

It was pitch dark, and I tried to pinch my hands. The blood-colored tail fox on my chest exuded a faint blood evil and wrapped my arm.

In the process of activating the blood evil, memories were tumbling in my mind, murderous intent was raging, and a bloodthirsty red light glowed in my eyes, with faint signs of losing control.

"The murderous intention of the blood fox is too strong, and I wear the mask of the good and evil Shura. The two interact with each other to make me kill." I will never kill innocent people indiscriminately, but I am not opposed to killing, after all. Sometimes this is the simplest and most effective way to deal with a problem.

I took out the key to Bai Yaer's room from my pants pocket. After arriving on the fourth floor, I walked straight to the iron door in the middle.

"Isn't it locked?" I tried to pull it, but the iron door was open, and I had a bad feeling in my heart.

Pushing open the wooden door inside, there was no one in Bai Yaer's house. There were some pieces of clothing scattered in the living room, and a few pieces of women's underwear randomly thrown in the bedroom.

"Where is the person?" Zhu Li has the key to Bai Ya'er's room. It seems that he took Bai Ya'er away.

"When the commotion broke out just now, Zhu Li and Bai Ya'er left the room. This can be regarded as indirect proof that the obsession to attack the blind old man is related to them." Standing in Bai Ya'er's bedroom, I looked at the wall next to me. There are holes for Zhu Li to peek into.

"Completely distorted and perverted values. Such people are not worthy of talking about art." I walked out of the room and tried to pry open the door of Dr. Zhu Lihe's house. I was surprised to find that their door was not locked. It seemed that Because I was in a hurry to leave, I didn't bother to lock the door.

"Where did they go?" The house was empty, leaving only grotesque paintings and cruel and bloody photos.

After searching Zhu Li's room, I found no useful clues. I stood in the dark corridor, feeling the chill coming from nowhere.

"The coat is at Zhang Shuxue's house. It contains a talisman and a plum blossom brooch. It must be taken back. The little boy on the sixth floor and the man living on the top floor of the fourth unit must also check it out."

When we arrived on the sixth floor, the iron door was locked, and there was blood dripping on the ground in front of the door. I didn't rush in and followed the blood stains upwards.

"The blood stains seemed to have ended up in Zhang Shuxue's rental house."
