chapter Ten
"Sister Zhu, have a good rest. See you tomorrow."
Xiao Li sent Zhu Yan upstairs and said goodbye.
Zhu Yan walked into the bedroom and collapsed on the couch. Tonight, no, it should be last night, because it is already past three in the morning. I am so tired!
Was he too impulsive about what happened at the convenience store? He should have waited until daytime to talk to the landlady about it. Who would lose his temper if he was woken up in the middle of the night? It is right for the landlady to be angry.
Get up after some sleep and then go find the boss lady and explain it carefully!
…
…
Thinking randomly, I gradually fell into sleep.
When I woke up it was already broad daylight.
Zhu Yan got up and saw that it was almost 11 o'clock.
After hurriedly washing up and getting ready to go out, I had breakfast and lunch together.
She looked at the closed door next door. I'm afraid she should be awake at this time, right? Zhu Yan knocked on the door and planned to get to know her new neighbors. It was rare for someone to come on vacation in winter like her.
After knocking for a long time, no one was there. He probably went out. At this time, it was time to have lunch.
The elevator was on the first floor. Zhu Yan pressed the button and the elevator came up. The numbers showed 1.2.3... Zhu Yan entered the elevator and pressed the down button. The elevator showed the numbers 9.8.7...
Zhu Yan looked at the changing and beating numbers, and a question popped up in her mind: The reason the elevator stopped on the first floor just now was because Xiao Li took the elevator down last night.
Then last night, while she was calling Xiao Li and waiting for the elevator to come up from the first floor, who drove the elevator to the next floor? She clearly remembered that she called Xiao Li last night and when she was about to go down, the elevator's
It is indeed on the first floor. I dare not say anything else, but my memory is recognized to be good.
Last night I was thinking about the convenience store and ignored the elevator.
The elevator won't run down by itself. Who is that? Zhu Yan subconsciously looked around, feeling a little creepy.
Is it really because I’ve watched too many ghost movies? Or do Internet writers have particularly rich imaginations?
No, no, the person next door must have gone out? Or maybe the door didn't open even after knocking for a long time last night. It must be like this, I'm scaring myself, it's really a bit of a panic.
When the elevator reached the first floor, Zhu Yan came out, passed the fork in the road, looked at the convenience store on the other side of the square, and thought about how to tell the proprietress when she came back later. It was really nerve-wracking! She shook her head and walked towards the door.
Wang Jiazhu was the only one in the security room.
Zhu Yan said hello: "Brother Wang, where is Xiao Li? Ask him to go to a local restaurant with me."
"Xiao Li is still catching up on his sleep. I heard him answer your call and go out last night. What happened?..."
Zhu Yan didn't know how to answer, so she said casually: "It's nothing, I asked him to do a favor." Then she changed the subject and said: "Brother Wang, is there someone coming next door to me? Is it a handsome guy or a beautiful girl? Did he go out again?
I knocked on the door for a long time but no one answered it, so I still want to get to know him (her)."
Brother Wang looked at Zhu Yan with strange eyes and swallowed hard, "Xiao Zhu, which one is next door?"
Zhu Yan: "It's next door to where I live, room 903 on the right."
"Xiao Zhu, there is no one living next door to you. Let alone Building 11, the entire villa has only you as the owner." Brother Wang said seriously.
"Xiao Zhu, are you kidding me?"
"Brother Wang, are you kidding me?"
The two said in unison, and the atmosphere suddenly became tense.
Xiao Li, who heard the two talking, came out of the room and said with sleepy eyes: "Sister Zhu, are you sure you've woken up?"
What our little security guard is thinking is: Sister Zhu, there won’t really be a problem here (head), right?
Zhu Yan was not angry: "I'm sure I'm awake because I saw the water heater next door being used last night."
"Sister Zhu, could it be that...you saw it wrong?"
"You're not mistaken, I clearly heard the sound of the water heater igniting. Also, I didn't come out after I went back last night. The elevator should have stopped on the 9th floor. Until I called you, the elevator was at the same level.
Floor, if someone hadn't sat down, the elevator stopped on the 9th floor would have gone down to the first floor by itself, so what's the point of ghosts?"
Xiao Li thought: Isn’t Sister Zhu’s paranoia a little bit serious?
"Sister Zhu, if there is really an owner moving in, we will know at the gate and have to register."
"What if you are not here and she (he) comes in by herself? For example, you go to a local restaurant, and Brother Wang just happens to leave."
"It is indeed possible, but there are cameras at the gate. If someone comes in or out, they will be photographed. There are also cameras in the elevator. If someone takes the elevator, they will be photographed."
"Then check the monitoring records quickly." Zhu Yan urged. If there is indeed someone staying next door, it's okay. If there is really no one, will the water heater ignite for no reason? What's going on with the elevator?
Things at the convenience store haven't been clarified yet, and something happened next door. If we don't figure this out, Zhu Yan won't be able to eat.
Zhu Yan insisted: If there is no one around, the water heater won’t ignite by itself! The elevator won’t go down by itself, right?
After hearing what Zhu Yan said, Wang's expression became serious. If someone really sneaks into the villa and hurts the owner, the security guard will also be responsible.
"Xiao Li, call the surveillance camera and take a look."
The three people stared at the screen without blinking.
The surveillance at the gate came out. From yesterday to now, only Zhu Yan and Xiao Li appeared in the camera. The day before, there was also Li Na's shadow.
"Look, no one is here except you! I even said you might have seen it wrong."
In order to completely reassure Zhu Yan, Brother Wang called up the surveillance video of the elevator in Building 11. When he played it back, he first saw Zhu Yan in the elevator, just now. Then Xiao Li came down last night, and then Xiao Li sent Zhu Yan up.
Floor. Further forward, Zhu Yan took the elevator down to the first floor alone. That was after Zhu Yan called Xiao Li.
"Look, you were the only one in the elevator these two days, and Xiao Li last night. How could there be anyone else?"
"That's right! Sister Zhu, are you working too hard on writing novels?"
"Yes, I've also heard that it takes a lot of brainpower to write that thing." Brother Wang agreed.
"Sister Zhu, don't work too hard. Go to bed early at night. Once you get some rest, you'll be fine." Xiao Li comforted Zhu Yan.
Could it be that I was really blinded by what I saw last night?
However, immediately after, an incredible picture appeared on the screen: there was no one in the elevator, but the elevator was running, and the indicator light inside showed that it went from the ninth floor to the first floor. There is no elevator?! What a ghost,
The elevator went down by itself from the 9th floor to the first floor, and the camera clearly captured the number in the elevator changing from 9 to 1. Zhu Yan almost screamed, and the other two people were no better.
"Look, the time shows 7:46 p.m., which is 20 minutes after I took the elevator home."
Sure enough, the next scene is Zhu Yan taking the elevator up to the ninth floor to go home.
Xiao Li: "Is it possible that someone on the first floor pressed the elevator first and then stopped taking it?"
"This situation also happens. I was waiting for the elevator at work and pressed this elevator, but the other one arrived first, so I took the other one, or I couldn't wait and took the stairs." Zhu Yan helped Xiao Li analyze.
Xiao Li: "Yes, yes, that's the case."
"But," everything is afraid of this turn. "Don't you all insist that there is no one? Then who pressed the elevator button?" Zhu Yan looked at the two security guards. "If it is man-made, there must be someone there first.
!”
Xiao Li and Da Wang looked at each other, a chill rising up their backs.
Isn't it a ghost?
"Brother Wang, will the elevator run automatically?" Xiao Li asked weakly.
"Yes!?"
"It's over now. Sister Zhu, don't scare yourself. You can also scare us."
"Okay! Maybe I really saw it wrong." Zhu Yan didn't want to embarrass the two security guards anymore.
"It must be, why are you looking at the water heater next door at night?" Xiao Li said angrily, but there was one sentence he didn't say: He also took a knife to the convenience store.
"Okay, let's not talk anymore. I'm starving after eating." Zhu Yan didn't want to dwell on this issue anymore.
Brother Wang stayed behind while Zhu Yan and Xiao Li went to a local restaurant.
The boss was sitting alone at the counter watching TV. When he saw the two people coming in, he hurriedly called out: Hong Qiang, why is it so late? I thought you weren't coming? Fortunately, the food is being heated on the stove. You can get a thermos to serve it yourself.
." Then he turned to Zhu Yan and said, "What will Miss Zhu eat?"
"Is there anything ready-made? Let's eat it right away. I'm so hungry that I haven't even eaten breakfast!"
"Yes, yes, yes, there is bone soup, roasted pork with potatoes, prepared for Hong Qiang and the others. If there are many, they will be here soon."
After a while, the hot bone soup and the fragrant roast pork with potatoes were served.
"Sister Zhu, eat slowly and come over to discuss it after you finish." Xiao Li told her and left with the food.
I haven't had a drop of water since last night and am still very nervous. Now I can finally eat well.
Zhu Yan took a sip of the soup, her stomach felt warm and comfortable. Zhu Yan also liked the potato soup, and it was also the favorite of her three best friends.
"Boss, your craftsmanship is really good, and the potatoes are particularly delicious." Zhu Yan praised him without hesitation.
"They are local alpine potatoes. They are small in size and heavy in flour. They are soft and waxy when cooked. It is difficult to eat them elsewhere!"
"It seems that your local restaurant has a lot of delicious food. I want to eat one kind every day, not the same thing."
"Okay, okay. Welcome," the boss agreed cheerfully.
