What he said is not unreasonable, because the daytime is when the evil spirit is at its weakest.
Unexpectedly, Lin Keer said: "No! My grandfather said that the murder occurred at night. Since we are looking for clues to the case, of course it is best to come at night!"
I don’t know where her reasoning came from. Just as I was about to refute, suddenly there were several bird calls of "wow wah" coming from above our heads.
It was a crow! I quickly looked up and saw a huge black shadow flying quickly into the second floor of the building.
I couldn't help but feel startled. After thinking for a moment, I turned to them and said, "I have a way to get in!"
"What can I do?" Jianjian asked quickly.
"The windows on the first floor of this house are equipped with iron bars, but not on the second floor. We can find a way to climb to the second floor and get in!"
"How do you know there are no railings on the windows on the second floor?" Jianjian asked me.
"The crow just flew in directly. If the windows on the second floor were equipped with iron bars, it should have retracted its wings before approaching the building, and then got in between the iron bars."
After listening to my analysis, Lin Keer praised: "You are quite careful in your observations."
I smiled and said, "Let's look further and see where we can climb to the second floor."
As soon as I finished speaking, Jianjian immediately said: "I just saw an iron pipe directly connected to the upstairs at the corner. It should be a sewer pipe. I was wondering at the time why there was a sewer sixty years ago.
!”
I suddenly became energetic: "Let's go! Go and have a look!"
Jianjian led us around a corner. As he said, a black iron pipe as thick as a bowl was directly connected to the second floor. However, the iron pipe was already covered with rust stains. I touched it with my hand and it immediately fell off.
Big chunks of rust.
Seeing this situation, Lin Keer said worriedly: "This pipe should have been completely rusted through. If you climb up along it, will it break?"
I smiled and said, "Ms. Lin, you still worry about safety when you break into the house over the wall! Let me climb up first and take a look, and you two wait below."
After saying that, I held the iron pipe with my hands and climbed up carefully.
Although I have been an expert at climbing since I was a child, and often climb up to sycamore trees more than ten meters high to catch longhorned beetles, after all, I have not climbed it for several years, not to mention that this is a tree that is likely to be completely rusted through, and it could happen at any time.
Broken iron pipe, so I am still very small
At the same time, I was also mentally prepared. If I fell, it would only be three or four meters high. It would not kill me, and there was soft lawn half a meter away from the wall. At that time, I only needed to exert my strength.
Just kick and let your body fall on the lawn, and it should be fine.
I was thinking about it, and suddenly I heard a "click" sound. My left hand was a little heavier because of my grasp, and a piece of the rusty iron pipe was missing. I was shocked and broke out in a cold sweat. I quickly put my body close to it.
He was leaning against the wall, not daring to move much.
After waiting for a while, the iron pipe did not break, so I tried to continue climbing up. This time I was more careful, for fear of making another mistake.
It wasn't until I touched the window sill on the second floor with one hand that a stone fell in my heart.
I grabbed the window sill and climbed in. As I expected, the windows on the second floor did not have iron bars, and the entire window frame was gone. I entered the house easily.
The room was dark. I patted the rust stains on my hands and was about to take the rope out of the bag when I suddenly heard a "ding-dong" sound like water droplets dripping into the pool.
Although the sound was very small, in such an environment, it was enough to shock my soul. I felt my heart tightening, and I didn't dare to neglect. I quickly took out the flashlight and took a look. Only then did I realize that what I had entered was a bathroom.
In the corner on the left side of the bathroom, a faucet was dripping water from time to time, and directly under the faucet, there was a red plastic bucket. The water in the bucket had already overflowed. Fortunately, the sewer in the bathroom still worked.
I just felt relieved, and suddenly my mind flashed, wait! No one has lived in this building for decades, why is the faucet still dripping? Is it possible that the water supply in this building has not been cut off yet!?
I walked forward cautiously, stretched out my hand and twisted it gently, and a stream of clear water immediately flowed out.
I couldn't help but be surprised that the water supply was actually not cut off!
That's it. The key point is that in a house that has been unoccupied for decades, how can the faucet still be used? If the ordinary faucet had been idle for so many years, I am afraid it would have rusted into iron lumps. But I was very relaxed just now.
Then he unscrewed the faucet. If the quality of the faucet wasn't so good, then this would be weird.
I focused on the red plastic bucket again. Isn't this the ordinary plastic bucket that costs twenty yuan a piece that can be seen everywhere in street grocery stores now? How could it appear here? Sixty years ago, it was estimated that
There is no plastic bucket yet. Could it be that there are other people living in this house!?
I didn't dare to be lazy, so I quickly pulled out the fish intestine sword from my waist, held it tightly in my hand, and walked slowly towards the door of the bathroom.
The bathroom door had long since disappeared, leaving only a decayed and blackened door frame. I poked my head out of the door and took a flashlight to look at it. Outside the door was a long corridor. The corridor looked very neat, as if someone had specially designed it.
It has been cleaned and it doesn't look like it has been abandoned for decades.
I couldn't help but become more and more sure of my guess. There was indeed someone in this house! Or, at least, someone had stayed in it before. Who could it be, a homeless vagrant? Or a murderer trying to evade the police?
While I was thinking about it, a lowly shout came from outside the window.
I agreed, put the fish gut sword back into the scabbard on my waist, turned back to the window, took out a bundle of ropes from my satchel, fixed one end of the rope, and then threw the other end out of the window.
The rope was quickly straightened. I stretched out my head and looked out the window, but I was surprised. The person climbing up the rope was not Jianjian, but Lin Ke'er!
I originally thought that Lin Ke'er could only wait below, but I didn't expect that a beautiful girl who seemed to be weak and wearing a long woolen windbreaker was actually quite skillful in climbing, as if she was passing by.
It's like special training.
Lin Keer quickly climbed up and stepped on the window sill to enter the house. I looked at the woman in front of me with disbelief and was completely shocked for a moment.
Seeing me staring at him, Lin Keer pursed her lips and smiled, saying: "What are you looking at! I've never seen a woman who can climb a rope!"
"I've seen it before, but I've never seen you crawl like this! You're a monkey, right?"
"You're telling me, I'm really a monkey! But being able to climb a rope has nothing to do with whether I'm a monkey or not. I liked rock climbing when I was a child. There is only one rope, let alone the second floor, even if it's a skyscraper.
No problem!" When Lin Ke'er said this, the corners of her mouth turned up slightly, looking a little proud.
I couldn't help but sigh: "If I had known you were a rock climber, I should have let you come up just now. I almost fell down."
"Hey! Can you bear to let a weak woman come up first? This is a haunted house!"
"You are not a weak woman, you are simply a tomboy!"
While we were talking, Jianjian also climbed up along the rope. The first thing he said when he came up was: "Holy crap! Are you a woman? You climb the rope so fast!"
Lin Keer smiled and said: "I am a female man! And I have also practiced Taekwondo, so you two had better not mess with me!"
As soon as she finished speaking, there was a faint "creak" sound, which sounded like the sound of a wooden door turning. The three of us were startled and immediately turned our heads to look outside the bathroom door, but it was pitch black outside and we couldn't see anything.
.
After waiting for a moment, there seemed to be no movement again. Lin Keer asked in a low voice: "What is the sound?"
I put my index finger in the middle of my lips to signal her not to speak, and pulled out the Fish Gut Sword from my waist, slowly walking towards the door. Both Jianjian and Lin Keer followed closely behind me.
The three of us walked out of the bathroom and stood in the corridor. Perhaps because the whole house was ventilated from all sides, there were waves of cold wind blowing in the corridor from time to time. It flowed into my neck along with my open coat, making me unable to help myself.
I shivered.
I quickly pulled up the zipper of my coat, covered my neck with my clothes, then raised the flashlight, looked around, and observed carefully through the light, and then I discovered that the second floor was a ring.
The corridor, and in the center of the whole building, is a circular hall. I held the iron railing of the corridor and glanced at the hall downstairs. There was nothing in the hall, but on the floor of the hall, there was actually a
Huge Bagua pattern.
I looked up again and found that the roof directly above the hall also had a Bagua pattern, but the two Bagua patterns were different. The one on the floor was the Houtian Bagua diagram, while the one on the roof was the Innate Bagua diagram. And on the roof
In the middle of the Bagua pattern, there is also a Tai Chi pattern.
I was stunned for a moment before I realized that the whole building was actually built according to the pattern of the Nine Palaces and Bagua. No wonder the whole house was in an octagonal shape.
This makes me feel a little puzzled. Although Lin Keer said that her great-grandfather was also a Yin-Yang man, but even a Yin-Yang man, there is no need to decorate his home like a Taoist temple. Is there anything special about his great-grandfather?
belief?
I was thinking about it when suddenly there was another "crunching" sound. In such an environment, the sound made people feel a chill down their spine.
I raised my hand and held the fish intestine sword across my chest, and walked slowly along the corridor in the direction of the sound, with Jianjian and Lin Keer following closely behind me.
Soon, we came to the door of a room. Like the bathroom, the door of the room had long since disappeared, leaving only a dilapidated door frame. I took a flashlight and looked into the room. There was nothing inside, but the floor was very clean.
It's clean, and the marble floor even reflects the light of my flashlight.
