Shen Shi shrank back on the sofa again, as if I was kidnapping her: "We met in school. She lost her wallet. After I contacted her, I sent it back to her and exchanged contact information.
Later, she gave me a gift to thank me, which was quite expensive. I felt a little embarrassed so I invited her to dinner, so that we could get to know each other better.
Then, I felt that I was not used to living in the dormitory, so I planned to share a room with a few roommates. It happened that Chie also said that she liked peace and quiet and wanted to stay with us, so we became roommates."
After she finished saying this, she paused for a few seconds and then added: "Ah, by the way, she also found this house at that time, and it was about 40% lower than the market price every month."
I nodded: "Then you didn't think something was wrong with the rent being too low?"
"A little bit, the market price of a large flat-floor flat with four bedrooms should theoretically be around 100,000 rubles, but we only need 60,000 rubles per month. Chie will pay half of it himself, and each of us will pay 10,000 rubles.
At that time, I felt that the price was not normal, and I was afraid that it was a haunted house, someone had died, etc., but when my two roommates heard that it was cheap, they jumped up and down and urged me to sign the contract, so I had no choice but to follow them."
I feel like I didn't get any other useful information from her topic other than confirming that this house was deliberately thrown by Sato Chie as a bait to attract Shen Shi and the others to share the house with her.
After thinking about it for a while, I asked her again: "What was the gift she gave you when you first met? Is it still there?"
"Here, it's just one item..."
Halfway through her words, Shen Shi suddenly froze.
Then she quickly reached to her neck, pulled off a necklace from it, and threw it to me like a hot potato: "That's it."
"This seems to be just an ordinary necklace."
I held the necklace and looked at it for a long time: "It's platinum, with a 20-cent diamond set on the pendant. It's worth almost 10,000 yuan."
"That's why I thought it was too expensive and I wanted to treat her to dinner."
Shen Shi tightened her collar: "Gu Yan, I have a question for you, Qiane... what is she? A ghost? A demon? Or something else, something I don't know."
"Hey, I really can't explain this to you."
I shook my head and stood up: "But don't worry, we are fellow villagers. I won't let anything happen to you. I will send someone to take you home after you finish eating."
"go home?"
Upon hearing these two words, Shen Shi's eyes widened instantly: "You won't go back even if you beat me to death. There are a lot of corpses downstairs. Do you want me to sleep with the corpses?"
I took out a cigarette from my pocket, lit it and told her: "Don't worry, I've had someone deal with the apartment downstairs in your house, and all the bodies have been taken away. You can just continue to live there with peace of mind."
"That won't work either. What if Chie comes back while I'm living here?"
"She won't go back."
I took a puff of cigarette: "About half an hour ago, your roommate suffered a heart attack and had lost his vital signs when he was sent to the hospital for rescue.
But don’t worry, I will ask someone to handle her funeral and I won’t cause you any trouble. I have friends in the police station and other places in Vladivostok, so just say hello when the time comes.”
"What? You said she's dead?"
Shen Shi was shocked again: "Didn't she drink with your friend? How could she have a heart attack?"
I patiently explained to her: "I told you she was a dirty thing. After we found out, she ran out of Sato Chie's body as soon as she couldn't continue acting.
Let me tell you this, Sato Chie is just a skin, what really controls her is the consciousness of the dirty thing inside, do you understand this time?"
Shen Shi asked me again: "Is Chie a dirty thing, or is she just controlled by a dirty thing?"
I didn't know how to explain it for a while.
If you think about it carefully, since this skin was saved by Fan Ji, and the person who controls this skin is Fan Ji's consciousness, then there should be no problem with Sato Chie herself.
Anyway, everyone is dead, and I am too lazy to dwell on this matter: "Yes, she is controlled by dirty things."
"It's really like that."
Shen Shi's expression was a little disappointed, and her eye circles were starting to turn a little red: "Since Qiane is innocent, I think we still need to inform her family, right?"
I was stunned for a moment: "She still has family members?"
"Didn't I tell you that she has a relative working as a diplomat at the Consulate in Vladivostok."
Shen Shi muttered as she spoke, and tears began to fall down: "She was killed by someone. We can't just bury her like this. We still need to notify her family, right?"
I don't care about Chie Sato's funeral at all, but the clue that she still has family makes me very interested.
I asked Shen Shi: "Can you contact her family?"
Shen Shi sobbed and shook her head: "There is no contact information, but you should find out if you go to the consulate and ask."
I thought to myself, can't he just scare the snake away?
I feel like I can't do this, so I think I should tell Zhuo Yi about this and let her think of a way.
But then Shen Shi spoke again: "Gu Yan, can I ask you for a favor?"
"you say."
"Can I stay with you these days?"
"Hey, I'm afraid this is not very convenient."
I immediately rejected her: "I know you are scared. After all, the stimulation you received today is too great. I guess you won't be able to recover for a while. If you don't dare to live in the house, how many days can't you go back to the dormitory?"
She bit her lip and shook her head: "I'm scared to go back to the dormitory."
I asked her again: "If it doesn't work out, I'll buy you a plane ticket so you can go back to China and stay with your parents for a while. The problem is that you took the exam recently. How would you do it if you went back to China?"
"It's not a matter of who you stay with."
She looked up at me with red eyes: "Whenever I close my eyes now, my mind is filled with images of broken limbs and the doll smiling at me. I feel like I'm going to collapse."
"Then wouldn't it be the same if you stayed with me?"
"It's different. At least I know you have the ability to protect me."
Her attitude was quite firm: "I know you are definitely not just a fairy. I guess you are a demon hunter, or a Taoist priest, or something like that?"
"I can't answer this question for you either."
Throwing the cigarette butt on the ground, I started to deal with her: "You can't stay with me anyway. I have my own things to do, so I can't take care of you."
"I just need to follow you and I will never cause you any trouble. I can also be your translator!"
I chuckled: "No need, your Russian proficiency may not be as good as mine."
Shen Shi started to push the envelope again: "What if I say, I can give you what you want?"
