Opposite the window
When Zhang Qi and her boyfriend just moved to Huatian No. 1, they heard that a woman in this building mysteriously disappeared a year ago. The police have not found anything yet. Zhang Qi's boyfriend Wan Bin is a cautious man.
, he initially thought that it would be better not to live in such a right and wrong place, but because it was difficult to find a house, and the two of them were very busy at work, they had no choice but to settle here first.
In fact, Zhang Qi was more worried than Wan Bin because the missing woman was her former close friend Xiang Ling. Although she didn't know exactly which room Xiang Ling lived upstairs, she still felt uneasy.
The structure of Huatian No. 1 is very strange. Perhaps to save space, the residents are very close to each other and even the kitchen windows are very close to each other. As a result, each house has to install security windows and thick curtains to ensure some private space downstairs.
The boy from Home Appliances once told Zhang Qi that this building is a mixed bag of good and bad people, including drug addicts, so they should be careful in everything they do.
On this day, Zhang Qi came home from get off work as usual. She was in a good mood to buy vegetables and cook. She was humming a little tune and watching the shredded pork sizzling in the pot with a happy smile on her face. Wan Bin had to work overtime and was expected to arrive around 12 o'clock. Come back, and Zhang Qi is this kind of person. Even if he only eats by himself, he must cook two dishes seriously without any ambiguity.
After eating and drinking, Zhang Qi began to wash the dishes with satisfaction as usual. Sometimes she looked up at the kitchen window opposite. She was the only resident with only half of the curtains. Zhang Qi thought, with only half of the roller blinds, the furniture in the window was very small.
Clearly, the spice box, kitchen knife, and even the kitchen door can all be seen clearly. Through the kitchen door, you can see the back room, but it is very dark and you can't see clearly. You can only see a trash can or a box-like thing.
In Zhang Qi's memory, since they moved here, they have never seen anyone living in the window opposite. The kitchen utensils are all placed intact, as they are every day, without the slightest appearance of being used by anyone, and they have never looked through the window.
I saw someone cooking there through the half-rolled curtain
Usually his observations were just passing by unintentionally. For some reason this time, Zhang Qi put down his work as if he was fascinated, put his face against the window of his house, and began to stare at the opposite window carefully - there was still no one there, pots and pans.
, spice box, kitchen door, and objects similar to trash cans or boxes, nothing special. However, Zhang Qi's subconscious always felt that there was a mysterious force attracting her eyes to the window, making her feel that there was something strange inside.
ordinary things
Just staring like this, suddenly, a white thing appeared next to the trash can (or box). Zhang Qi was shocked when the white thing moved slowly and actually walked into the kitchen! Due to the lack of light at night, facing the window
Zhang Qi couldn't tell whether the lights were turned on or not. She looked at the lights in her house, thought for a while, then turned around and turned off the switch. In this way, she was in darkness, and the things on the opposite side looked clearer in the moonlight -
- Like a woman, wearing a white nightgown, she slowly walked into the kitchen from the door and gradually approached the window
For some reason, as she approached step by step, Zhang Qi felt more and more frightened. This fear came from nowhere, with a cold feeling that made Zhang Qi tremble uncontrollably. Zhang Qi began to slowly maintain a half-crouching posture.
, with only his head exposed by the stove, he quietly watched the changes in the opposite window, not daring to let his breath come out—it turns out that someone lives across the street, right?
Finally, the woman opposite the window walked to the stove, but she just stood there without doing anything. She stayed there for 10 minutes. Zhang Qi found it strange that even 10 minutes of half-squatting made her legs sore. She breathed a sigh of relief and stood.
He got up, moved his legs, and put his face to his window, looking at the woman in the opposite window in surprise. At this moment, the woman suddenly bent down, put her head under the half-rolled curtain, and put her face against it.
On the window, staring at Zhang Qi! This action seemed to be completed in one second, leaving Zhang Qi with no time to react. The two faces were less than 2 meters away. After another second, Zhang Qi pointed
She yelled and sat down on the ground - under the moonlight, the woman opposite the window had a pale face, her black hair was messy, but her eyes were so bright, with no whites, only very colored pupils, which seemed to be emitting a light of resentment -
—It’s Xiang Ling!
Zhang Qi couldn't bear it any longer. She panicked, and while closing the curtains, she crawled over and fumbled to turn on the light. She kept trembling, and her hands could no longer hold anything. Once, twice
, she wanted to call Wan Bin, but always dropped her phone on the floor. She started crying, and while continuing to try to call Wan Bin, she muttered: "It's none of my business, it's none of my business."
Things..."
Finally, the call was connected. Wan Bin was surprised when he heard Zhang Qi's description, and quickly put down what he was doing and hurried back.
Zhang Qi was still sitting on the ground breathing heavily. When Xiang Ling disappeared, the police had looked for her, but Wan Bin didn't know about it. In fact, it doesn't necessarily mean that Zhang Qi didn't know anything about Xiang Ling's disappearance.
The details of Xiang Ling’s disappearance, but there was one person she suspected, but she did not tell the police because this person was also closely related to her Zhang Qi
This person is Chen Youxiang
Chen Youxiang was Zhang Qi's classmate in high school. The relationship between the two was not particularly good at that time, but it was not bad. Unexpectedly, after not seeing each other for many years, Chen Youxiang and Zhang Qi actually met on the subway in this city. So, reminiscing about old times,
After eating and drinking tea for a long time, Chen Youxiang naturally met Zhang Qi’s close friend Xiang Ling
Xiang Ling is so beautiful that any man will have "bad ideas" after seeing her. Chen Youxiang is also a normal man, so he is no exception. However, Chen Youxiang's bad ideas are even worse than those of ordinary men - he wants Xiang Ling's body.
The person who surpassed her, because Chen Youxiang was already someone else's husband and father, he wanted Zhang Qi to help him achieve his goal of possessing Xiang Ling. Zhang Qi naturally disagreed. She cursed Chen Youxiang, and the matter was settled - until Zhang Qi and her
A male colleague was having an affair and was bumped into by Chen Youxiang.
At that time, Zhang Qi and the others had not yet stayed at Huatian No. 1. Wan Bin was on a business trip. Zhang Qi and the handsome guy from her office were having a great time on their bed. Unexpectedly, they were interrupted by a knock on the door just at the critical moment.
Zhang Qi was riding on the man, squirming wildly, and said hastily "Don't worry about it." The two of them re-entered the state. I don't know how long the knocking on the door lasted. Zhang Qi's cell phone rang suddenly, and he kept thinking about something.
After a while, she was finally cornered. She got off the man, grabbed him impatiently and saw that it was Chen Youxiang.
"Hey!" Zhang Qi said angrily
"Where are you?"
"Where's home"
"Then why didn't you open the door when I knocked?"
Zhang Qi was stunned and said: "Oh, I didn't hear you, please wait a moment."
After saying that, he quickly motioned for the man to get dressed, and he quickly dressed himself and opened the door. Chen Youxiang stood outside with a puzzled look on his face, looking at Zhang Qi's messy hair, crimson cheeks and sweat beads on his neck, and then
When he walked in and saw the strange man on the sofa, he immediately understood. So, this matter became a bargaining chip for Chen Youxiang to threaten Zhang Qi. If Zhang Qi didn't help him get Xiang Ling, he would tell Wan Bin the whole thing. Then there would be someone
Zhang Qi looks good
Zhang Qi had no choice but to comply with Chen Youxiang. When they were together at a party, he put a drug in Xiang Ling's cup. When she was drowsy, he pretended to be unwell and asked Chen Youxiang to send Xiang Ling home. Xiang Ling refused at first.
, and Zhang Qi kept saying that he had drunk too much and could not accompany her back. Xiang Ling finally obeyed her and asked Chen Youxiang to send him back. By that time, it was already past 1 o'clock in the morning.
Zhang Qi didn't know what happened that night. He only remembered that when he saw Xiang Ling the next day, she looked very wrong. She seemed to know her role in the incident, but her attitude was lukewarm because of her face.
Observing carefully, there were red scars on Xiang Ling's neck—did he succeed? Zhang Qi thought with a guilty conscience. From then on, Xiang Ling became decadent and depressed. She often said strange things with a blank expression, such as that life is boring.
But Zhang Qi was frightened when he heard that he had to find someone to support him.
What's even more frightening is that a week later, Xiang Ling disappeared. Zhang Qi asked Chen Youxiang, but he denied that it was related to him, and warned Zhang Qi not to reveal anything about him and Xiang Ling to the police, otherwise Zhang Qi and Wan Bin would be disturbed.
An Ning and Zhang Qi did not tell the police anything about Chen Youxiang out of fear. However, she knew that Xiang Ling's disappearance could not have anything to do with Chen Youxiang.
Now, after a year, he saw Xiang Ling again in the scary window opposite, in such a weird way, which made Zhang Qi wonder whether what he saw was a human or a ghost?
He didn't dare to think too much. At this moment, he estimated that Wan Bin would be back soon. Zhang Qi couldn't help but feel a little calmer. He was so frightened by Xiang Ling just now that he suddenly wanted to relieve himself. Zhang Qi got up from the floor, walked into the bathroom and sat down.
After sitting in a daze on the toilet for an unknown amount of time, she seemed to come to her senses. She quickly flushed the water and walked out. She closed the door behind her, but when she turned around, there was a "squeak" and the door opened again.
Zhang Qi walked over and closed it in annoyance. Just as he was about to leave, it opened again with a "squeak" sound. She was surprised. She walked over and checked the door panel. There was no problem, so she closed the door tentatively. This time, the door seemed to be blocked by something.
It was stuck, and when there was a gap of one finger, it could no longer be closed. She pushed down with all her strength, going back and forth several times, but she just couldn't close it. She seemed to feel something, but she couldn't.
Definitely, and when she slowly raised her head and looked at the top of the door, she was so frightened that she couldn't even scream.
On the top of the door was a pale hand, skinny and glowing with blue light. It was the hand that was caught in the crack of the door that made it impossible to close the door. Zhang Qi gasped for air and stared at the hand, which slowly pushed the door open.
Open the door, and then, heads slowly poked out from the bottom of the door frame, raised suddenly, and looked at Zhang Qi - it was Xiang Ling! Her face was as terrifying as a death, with empty eyes, no whites, and long black hair.
It was laid on the floor. Although her head was on the floor, her hands were still on top of the door. It looked very strange.
Zhang Qi screamed and stepped back, crawling closer to Ling, and finally lowered his hand from the top of the door and stretched it towards Zhang Qi. Zhang Qi simply closed his eyes and refused to look at her, just screaming. At this moment, the door rang, Wan
Bin is back.
Looking at Zhang Qi lying slumped on the ground, Wan Bin was stunned for a moment, then immediately closed the door and rushed over to try to help her up. However, Zhang Qi was as soft as noodles, and Wan Bin couldn't hold her up no matter how hard Wan Bin hugged her.
He was so anxious that he said: "Qiqi, can you get up first?" Zhang Qi was already stunned. Except for muttering "It's not me, it's not me", there was no response from Wan Bin. Wan Bin had no choice but to let her sit on the ground.
"Okay, you sit down first. I'll check the room inside and get you a glass of water." After saying that, Wan Bin gently put Zhang Qi on the floor, then turned and walked into the living room.
However, the moment Wan Bin turned around, Zhang Qi saw the small curtain in her kitchen slowly rolled up, gradually revealing the bright window. Under the moonlight, she could really see the small curtain on the window.
A face, a face that was beautiful in the past and now ferocious. Zhang Qi had already lost her soul and could not make any sound. She just stared blankly at the window and saw Xiang Ling's pale hands reaching in through the window.
It was so long until the hands in front of her gradually opened up and grabbed Zhang Qi suddenly, her long nails digging into Zhang Qi's flesh. Then she woke up from the pain and let out an extremely shrill and desperate scream——
Wan Bin rushed over, only to see that Zhang Qi's figure was no longer on the kitchen floor, leaving only a pool of blood and a few strands of hair. He froze on the spot for a while, then tremblingly dialed 110
Zhang Qi just disappeared without a trace
Three months later, the police received a tip from an anonymous letter and solved the mysterious disappearance case more than a year ago. They confirmed that the missing person Xiang Ling had been found, but what they found was her body - on the ceiling of Xiang Ling's home.
Inside, the body was wrapped in a sealed plastic sheet. It had long since rotted and was crawling with corpse insects. The forensic doctor concluded that the death occurred at least a year ago. Fortunately, at the same time that the case of Xiang Ling’s disappearance came to an end, another mysterious case occurred in another home in the city.
The disappearance case was also solved - Zhang Qi's body was also found, next to the plastic sheet, next to Xiang Ling. The two bodies were decomposing to varying degrees, but they were close to each other, just like a pair of inseparable close friends...
…
And Chen Youxiang, the most suspected murderer, woke up inexplicably from severe pain one night two weeks before Zhang Qi's disappearance. When he turned on the light, he discovered that his genitals had been torn off, leaving a large area of bright red on the bed.
My wife was so scared that she rolled from the bed to the floor and screamed
However, he did not call the police, nor did he mention it to others, because he knew that this matter was not done by anyone, and the police would not be able to find out. He might even rape Xiang Ling and then rape him two weeks later because of her threats.
