1050th IX The Blind Man with a Lamp (Four Thousand)

"The minister is not in the corridor on the fourth floor, he must be hiding in a certain room, and he is probably also paying attention to his surroundings."

"This guy doesn't dare to play tricks, and his style of doing things is weird. I have to be more cautious."

Chen Ge didn't know if the minister had obtained information about himself from the middle-aged man, and he couldn't care less about it. He thought that while the minister was not moving, he would go to see Miss Hong and find as many helpers as possible.

With the support of the lady in the skirt, Chen Ge came to the corner of the stairs on the fourth and fifth floors. There was a faint smell in the air, and there were some water spots under the shoes.

"Why did it stop suddenly?" Chen Ge asked in a low voice. He was walking up, but the lady in the skirt who was supporting his arm suddenly stopped moving.

Chen Ge couldn't see anything, and when he noticed the abnormality of the lady in the skirt, he immediately became nervous.

The girl's singing voice was faintly heard in the ear, as if it came from a broken music box, intermittently, the voice was so weird that it was indescribable.

"Is anyone coming? Go to the fifth floor first, don't stay here!" Chen Ge had a very bad feeling, he could tell that the singing was coming from the fifth floor, and he was very worried that the voice would overwhelm the servants. come here.

"A man passed by on the fifth floor just now, and there was no sound at all." The lady in the skirt said in a strange tone, "Did I read it wrong?"

"Wait a minute! A music box? A girl singing? A figure walking without sound? Could it be Ying Tong that you saw just now?" Chen Ge knew that in reality, there was a broken music box on the table in Ying Tong's bedroom.

"Then shall we chase after him?" the woman asked.

"No, it's not quite right." Chen Ge's fingers gripped the backpack more forcefully: "If I were Ying Tong, I would definitely not let the music box make a sound when I ran away. Isn't this deliberately exposing my position?"

"It is also possible that he accidentally touched the music box, causing the music box to suddenly sound."

"I have been to Ying Chen's house. At that time, the music box was placed in Ying Tong's bedroom. If Ying Tong didn't come home, the person holding the music box must not be Ying Tong!" Chen Ge broke out in cold sweat: "lou There is another person in the room helping Yingchen! He is walking around with a music box to attract attention! That bastard may have guessed that someone else is looking for Yingtong!"

Ying Chen is very smart, but Chen Ge is also very perceptive, both sides can find problems from tiny details.

"Do you know anyone in this building who has a particularly good relationship with the minister? The kind of person that the minister can trust unconditionally?"

"There are many residents who have a good relationship with Yingchen. By the way, Yingchen is very popular with children, and the children are willing to play with him."

"Being liked by children?"

"Well, the minister has a very good personality, and he also likes playing games with the children, and occasionally buys some toys and candies for the children."

"Is that figure that passed by just a child?"

"It's kind of like it. It's very short and there's no sound at all when walking. I almost thought I was wrong." The woman breathed a sigh of relief, and she gradually realized that the residential building tonight was different from usual: "We have to go to the six building?"

"Of course I'm going, but when you pass the fifth floor, pay attention to see if there are other people in the corridor." Chen Ge squatted down and touched the water stains on the ground: "The water stains are about to dry, it doesn't seem like a response The water that I sprinkled on purpose was used to keep the shoe prints."

"You are too careful, maybe Aunt Wu just cleaned it."

"How can you be sure that Aunt Wu did the cleaning?" Chen Ge heard a new name from the woman's mouth—Aunt Wu.

"She is the cleaner of our building. She is very responsible. She cleans the whole building every morning and night." The lady in the skirt said casually, "You don't suspect that Aunt Wu is helping the servants, do you?"

Chen Ge didn't speak,

Another thing was on my mind.

Although the neighborhood where Yingchen and Yingtong live is very dilapidated now, it was the most luxurious neighborhood in the old city many years ago. This can be seen from the fact that the building was equipped with elevators so early.

Aunt Wu is responsible for cleaning the building, which is not a big deal. The problem is that she also appeared in the world behind Ying Tong's door. This cleaner may have been killed by Ying Tong in reality, just like Ms. Skirt and Mr. Wood.

But there is another possibility that Aunt Wu may have done something to Tong Tong, which made him remember deeply.

Many guesses appeared in Chen Ge's mind. Aunt Wu might have helped Ying Tong escape, or it was possible that Aunt Wu was the one who tipped Ying Chen off.

"How is the relationship between Aunt Wu and the minister?"

"Very bad. Aunt Wu often quarrels with Ying Chen. She hates cats and thinks that Ying Tong always picks up some dirty stray cats, which adds to her workload of cleaning." The woman added after a while: " By the way, during a private chat once, Aunt Wu said that Yingchen had a sour smell on his body, like cat meat that had been left for a long time."

The brain was running fast, and Chen Ge connected the known information together: "This place has just been cleaned, which means that Aunt Wu has been here before. The short figure holding the music box appeared next to Aunt Wu. At home, I guess the minister asked that little figure to take the music box to test Aunt Wu, and the minister suspected that the person who entered his house was Aunt Wu!"

"Although I don't understand very well, I feel that what you said seems to make sense." The lady in the skirt found that Chen Ge's speech was very organized, at least at first glance.

"Ying Chen doesn't know my existence, so he will suspect that Aunt Wu is normal." The world behind the door is woven according to Ying Tong's memory, and the rules governing the operation of this world are Ying Tong's memory, which Ying Tong can use to escape. There are only those people and those things in memory, but on this day Chen Ge entered the world behind the door, and he is the only odd number.

The two sides had already reached the fifth floor when they were communicating, and the ground here was also a little slippery. Aunt Wu had just cleaned it.

"There is no one in the corridor on the fifth floor, shall we go to the sixth floor?"

"Don't worry, check to see if there are any shoe prints on the ground, look carefully." Chen Ge pressed his body against the wall, and he has basically adapted to the darkness now, overcoming that physical discomfort.

"Shoe prints?" The woman let go of Chen Ge's arm, and she seemed to enter the corridor to have a look: "There really are!"

"Be quiet, how many people's shoe prints are there on the ground?"

"This kind of shoe print should belong to Aunt Wu, she likes to wear cloth shoes, and the other kind of sandal shoe print may belong to the children in the building."

"It seems that we guessed well. Look at the direction of the toe of the shoe print and judge where they went." Chen Ge couldn't see it, so he could only rely on the lady in the skirt for help.

"Aunt Wu has a lot of shoe prints. She seems to have been wandering around the door of the cleaning cabinet for a long time, probably to get tools. The other sandal shoe prints are always facing in one direction, and the owner of the shoe prints should be behind Aunt Wu," the woman said. Wan Wan added another sentence: "There is no one on the fifth floor now, will they go to the sixth floor?"

"Wandering around the cleaning cabinet? Normally, aren't the utility rooms for the cleaning staff on the first floor? Would it be inconvenient to put their cleaning tools on the fifth floor?" Chen Ge recalled going to the minister's house In the scene, in his impression, there is no cleaning cabinet on the fifth floor.

"The developer seems to be planning to build a model community, and asked the property to prepare cleaning cabinets for owners on each floor, which are equipped with daily cleaning tools, ropes and fire-fighting equipment."

"It sounds fine, but why did Aunt Wu stay in front of the cleaning cabinet on the fifth floor?" Chen Ge grabbed the woman's arm: "Is that cleaning cabinet locked?"

"No."

"Go over and open the cabinet door to have a look. I suspect that Aunt Wu may have hidden something in the cleaning cabinet."

The woman helped Chen Ge to the side of the cleaning cabinet, and she gently tugged on the cabinet door: "Huh?"

"What's wrong?"

"It can't be opened, it seems that something is stuck inside."

"Can't open it without locking it?" Chen Ge suddenly thought of something, he whispered into the cleaning cabinet: "Ying Tong? Are you in there? I know your brother is a perverted murderer, and he likes to abuse cats, I'm here to help you escape from this building!"

"What are you talking nonsense to the air?" The lady in the skirt had just finished speaking, when there was a soft sound from the cleaning cabinet, as if someone had removed the top door: "Who's in there?"

The cabinet door opened, and the lady in the skirt took a breath.

"What did you see? Tell me about it?" Chen Ge urged in a low voice.

"Ying, Ying shrank in the cabinet! How could he hide here!" The woman was very surprised, and her voice became a little louder.

"Ying Tong?" Although Chen Ge was mentally prepared, he knew that Ying Tong must be hiding somewhere in this building, but he never expected to meet him so early: "It seems that I am lucky this time."

"Who are you guys? Did Aunt Wu tell you I'm here?" Ying Tong's voice was a little numb, like a robot, without the slightest emotion.

"I'm here to help you leave. I know your brother's true colors. He will definitely be punished." Chen Ge took a step forward, and his hand touched Ying Tong's shoulder. Gently caressing Ying Tong's face, her fingertips touched the uneven scar.

"Do I look terrible?" Ying Tong's voice came from in front of Chen Ge.

"I'm blind and can't see your face, but I know you have a strong and kind heart, and a very smart and calm brain."

An ordinary child would have gone crazy if he encountered Ying Tong's situation, but Ying Tong didn't. He was always looking for a chance to escape and never gave up.

Although the two brothers have very different personalities, they are both very smart. To a certain extent, it can be said that both of them are terrible.

Chen Ge remembered Ying Tong's appearance. In order to gain Ying Tong's trust, he grabbed Ying Tong's hand and put it on his face: "My name is Chen Ge. From now on, you are no longer alone. Regardless of the last No matter what happens, I will always be with you."

No one has ever said this to Ying Tong. That Auntie Wu should be helping Ying Tong secretly, but she dare not give Ying Tong any guarantee.

Chen Ge touched Ying Tong's face with both hands, and also touched what Ying Tong was holding. The child was carrying a big bag with a ball inside and something like a flashlight.

"What's in your bag?"

"Aunt Wu didn't believe what I said, so I showed her something, and she believed it."

"what?"

"A football made by a brother."

There was a rustling sound next to her ear, Ying Tong opened the bag, and the lady in the skirt looked into the bag curiously.

"Head!"

Fear flooded my heart, and the lady in the skirt was frightened and stupid at that moment, and her voice was a bit loud.

"Be quiet! We can't stay here anymore, go to the sixth floor immediately! Let Ying Tong meet Ah Ying!" All Chen Ge's guesses can be proved when Ying Tong meets Ah Ying, and he can't wait now up.

The lady in the skirt supported Chen Ge and Ying Tong from left to right. The three of them re-entered the corridor, but when they reached the corner of the fifth and sixth floors, the old elevator on the floor suddenly made a sound.

"The elevator started! Someone took the elevator upstairs! Is it because the minister heard the sound?"

The word "human head" is too clear, and Chen Ge is also a little worried now.

He stopped in his tracks, and his face gradually became ugly. The elevator stopped on the fifth floor, and then a faint meowing sounded.

"It's the minister!"

The cat's meowing didn't become louder in an instant, and the minister should still be near the elevator, but he was sure that he had already reached the fifth floor.

"hurry up."

It is easy for three people to make noises together, but Chen Ge has no better way now, so he can only stay away as much as possible.

"Go to Miss Hong's house, go into her house and hide!"

The meowing sound remained unchanged. The lady in the skirt helped Ying Tong and Chen Ge to the sixth floor, and they stopped in front of Miss Hong's room.

"Don't knock on the door, don't make any noise. Call or text her and ask her to open the door."

"But I didn't bring my phone."

While the two were talking, the sound of a girl singing came from the corridor on the other side, and the man with the broken music box came upstairs!

The meowing of a cat can warn the minister, but it cannot warn other people. There are ministers' helpers in the building, which is a very bad thing for Chen Ge who can't see anything.

"How to do?"

Time is running out, and the knock on the door has a 50% chance of attracting the minister. If Miss Hong opens the door slowly, Chen Ge and the others are likely to be caught by the minister, and the minister's helper is also coming here while walking.

"Go back to the corridor on the left first." The plan had to be changed. When Chen Ge and the others were walking into the corridor on the left, cat meowing suddenly sounded, and the distance between Ying Chen and them was slowly closing!

"That guy heard the voice just now!" Chen Ge gritted his teeth. He found that the minister was really difficult to deal with. This bastard suffered a loss once, so this time he specially found someone to go upstairs with him, and left One right, no matter which corridor you enter, you will be seen! !

Cat meowing came to the ears, and the voice gradually became distorted and harsh. The three of them were standing at the entrance of the corridor on the left side of the sixth floor, and the minister might be in the corridor at this time.

"I made the voice. He should only be looking for me. You go to the seventh floor to hide first. I will stop the minister." The lady in the skirt took the initiative to enter the corridor and walked towards the fifth floor. Chen Ge also held Yingtong's hand Entering the corridor, he and Ying Tong are quietly walking towards the seventh floor.
