Lao Cui's wife waited for a while, and Mrs. Wu changed her clothes and walked out.

With Sister-in-law Wu accompanying her, Mrs. Cui felt confident.

Although the stairs are very narrow, they can barely allow two people to walk side by side.

As soon as the two of them walked around the corner, a large cardboard box as tall as a person appeared in front of them.

In the chat group, at the end of the video posted by Lao Cui, he kicked the cardboard box.

Logically speaking, this cardboard box should have fallen over...

The most important thing is that they did not see Lao Cui.

Sister-in-law Wu was more courageous than Mrs. Cui. She stepped forward and looked at the big cardboard box carefully.

Soon, she found two footprints, one deep and one shallow, on the front of the cardboard box...

Obviously, this footprint was left by Lao Cui.

The cardboard box was very wide and almost occupied the entire stairway leading to the fourth floor. However, although people could not pass through it, there were still some gaps on the side that allowed her to see what was going on under the stairs.

Sister-in-law Wu stuck it on the carton and looked towards the stairs behind...

Since the windows in the building are all at the corners, the cardboard boxes block most of the light, and only a small amount of light shines through the gaps to the stairs behind, making the stairs behind the cardboard boxes very dim...

But even so, Mrs. Wu could roughly see what was going on behind her, at least she didn't see Lao Cui...

"Old Cui!" Mrs. Wu shouted, her voice echoing in the corridor...

Lao Cui did not respond to her sudden voice, but it frightened Lao Cui's wife who was behind her.

At the moment when the shouting completely disappeared, Sister-in-law Wu's left ear, which was attached to the cardboard box, suddenly heard an unusual sound.

"Plop...Plop..."

The sound was very subtle, somewhat similar to a heartbeat...

Sister-in-law Wu was shocked and was about to continue listening when someone suddenly grabbed her shoulder!

Her heart skipped a beat, but she immediately realized that the person who caught her was Lao Cui's wife.

Behind him, the trembling voice of Lao Cui's wife came: "Sister-in-law Wu... Could something really happen to Lao Cui..."

Sister-in-law Wu did not immediately answer Lao Cui's wife's question. Instead, she frowned and pushed the large cardboard box next to her.

Not moving at all…

It feels very hard, and it looks like it should be filled with bricks and cement...

Sister-in-law Wu slowly backed away and did not tell Mrs. Cui that she had heard something like a heartbeat in the big cardboard box just now. She was mainly worried that she would be scared.

Sister-in-law Wu turned around, looked at Lao Cui's wife, and then made an astonishing move.

She took out her mobile phone, opened the chat software, turned on the short video recording function, and pressed the record button.

Sister-in-law Wu pointed her mobile phone camera at the big cardboard box and said: "The box is still here, Lao Cui doesn't know where it went. We have to open this box now. No matter who put the box here, I tell you

You, this is not fun at all."

Sister-in-law Wu is not a local, but married from out of town. Her Mandarin is very standard.

This short video was quickly played by other people in the group.

Then, there was another conversation and discussion in the chat group.

id, All-powerful: "Sister-in-law Wu, what do you mean by this? We are all neighbors, who can do such a boring thing!"

id, peace is a blessing: "I think the third child of the Qian family is right. We are all neighbors. How can we be so boring?"

id, Qiu Feng: "Who put the box there? You don't need to put it away anymore. Just give it to me and I will help deal with it, haha."

After chatting for a while, no one noticed that Sister-in-law Wu had not said a word in the group since she posted the video just now...

Finally, the third child of the Qian family discovered the problem and sent a message to the group to ask.

id, Qi Qifengyun: "Sister-in-law Wu, has the box been opened? What's in it? Is Lao Cui hiding in it and trying to scare Xie?"

id, Qiu Feng: "That old Cui is so unreasonable, haha."

The neighbors were chatting and laughing, waiting for Mrs. Wu's answer.

However, several minutes passed and Mrs. Wu still did not send any message.

id, Qiu Feng: "What's going on? I'll go out and take a look..."

"Autumn Wind"'s real name is Liu Jun, and everyone calls him Lao Liu. He is not yet forty years old, but he looks a little anxious and looks older than Lao Cui, who is already in his early forties.

Old Liu is a bachelor with a slovenly manner. He works as a security guard in a bathing center. He likes to pick up scraps and sell them for money. He lives a frugal life.

However, because he is so sloppy and looks old, no girl is willing to have sex with him.

When Liu Jun was at home, he wore a greasy vest and a pair of discolored shorts.

He didn't clean it up, walked around the large amount of junk piled up in the corridor, opened the door, and walked out.

This old building has three households on each floor. Liu Jun lives in the right door on the fourth floor, which is the one on the right when the third floor leads to the fourth floor.

Liu Jun opened the door and came out. To his left were the steps leading to the third floor. Directly in front of him was the security door on the left door of the fourth floor.

In other words, from his angle, he could not see the steps leading to the fifth floor at all, and the light at the left door on the fourth floor was still very dim. It seemed that the sunlight was blocked by the cardboard box.

of…

At this time, Liu Jun was also a little puzzled. The sound insulation of this old building was not very good. Usually, if there were any louder noises on the fifth floor, he could hear them clearly in the room.

Only this time, from the time Lao Cui "disappeared" inexplicably when he went out, to the inexplicable "disappearance" of Sister-in-law Wu and Lao Cui's wife, during this period of time, he didn't hear a single sound...

And in the short video posted by Sister-in-law Wu, didn’t it say that the cardboard box was to be dismantled? But now it seems that it has not been implemented...

Liu Jun walked towards the corner leading to the fifth floor with curiosity.

When he was about to cross the partition wall in the middle, Liu Jun's footsteps suddenly stopped.

He hesitated a little, fearing that he would see something that would cast a shadow on him for the rest of his life...

After hesitating for a moment, Liu Jun took out his mobile phone, opened the chat software, and pressed short video recording...

id, Qiu Feng: "I've come out. Now I'm going to the fifth floor to have a look..."

Obviously what he was holding was just a mobile phone, but Liu Jun suddenly felt confident in his heart, as if what he was holding was not a mobile phone at all, but a submachine gun...

Finally, emboldened by his cell phone, he turned around the wall.

His eyes followed the mobile phone camera and moved upward together...
