"People? Why are there people?" The landlady opened her mouth, "The space inside is very small, and it's impossible for people to get in."
Xiaolan and Luo Jiutian were silent for a long time, silently turning their heads to look at the landlady, giving her a look that could only be understood but not explained.
"You mean..." The landlady's eyes suddenly widened, "There's a ghost inside?!"
"We don't know the specific situation," Luo Jiutian shook his head pretending to be profound, "We still have to open it and take a look to find out..."
"Then open it quickly and take a look!" the proprietress screamed. Then she probably realized that she had lost her composure. She cleared her throat and said awkwardly, "You can open it. It's okay. There is a groove on the top plate. It can be opened by just picking it.
, we usually check the lines through there."
The two started working, but the landlady was so frightened that she didn't know what to do with herself. She wanted to hide as far away as possible, but she was also afraid that she would hide too far and no one would help her. After struggling for a long time, she still shrank timidly by the door.
Shivering, he stared at the two of them.
Luo Jiutian quickly groped for the groove, dug at it, and it opened easily. With a rustling sound, he pushed the top of the wardrobe open little by little, revealing the top.
The space at the top is not closed, but only the narrow vacuum zone next to the pipe can lead to the distance. No human can pass there. Indeed, as the boss lady said, except for the lines and pipes, there is nothing here.
things.
"Is there... is there a ghost?" the landlady covered her eyes with her hands and asked fearfully.
Luo Jiutian sighed, patted the dust on his hands, and jumped out of the closet, "Don't worry, it's not."
When the landlady heard this, she immediately closed her eyes and let out a long sigh of relief, then opened her eyes and said, "Is there nothing up there?"
"That's right. There's no one and no ghosts."
"But didn't you hear some noise..."
"Maybe we heard it wrong," Luo Jiutian shrugged, "Pipes expand with heat and contract with cold, so they can easily make strange noises."
You're talking about science instead.
"Now... there are no ghosts, right?" The landlady slowly moved out from the door, "Oh, you scared me to death, so how are you going to catch ghosts?"
"It seems that we can only wait and wait," Luo Jiutian pursed his lips, "But don't worry, sister, this ghost is obviously coming for us. If she wanted to attack you, she would have done it long ago, and she wouldn't wait until now.
"
"Really?"
"Of course," Luo Jiutian said, "otherwise why would she live next door to us?"
"That's great..." The landlady just patted her chest and suddenly felt that her words were a bit heartless, so she quickly changed her words and said, "Then what should you do?"
"We're not afraid of her," Luo Jiutian pointed mysteriously at Xiaolan who was still busy on the top of the closet, and joked, "Let me tell you secretly, this little girl is the most powerful among us!"
"That's it," the landlady looked sideways for a moment, "You really can't tell a person's face. He has such great abilities at such a young age. He must be some kind of reincarnated soul boy."
"It's not..."
The two were chatting happily, and Xiaolan finally ended her exploration. She retracted her body, held something in her right palm, and jumped back to the ground.
"I found this," Xiaolan said, moving the light source of her mobile phone's flashlight closer, "What is this?"
The thing in her right palm was actually a ball of gray-white hair.
"Hair?" Luo Jiutian stretched out his finger and poked it, "Is this animal hair? Where did you find it?"
"It's stuck in the gap of the top switch," Xiaolan pointed. "It looks like it was left by some kind of animal."
"Why are animals coming out again? Isn't it a female ghost?" The boss's wife was confused.
"Is that female ghost alone? Does she have any animals with her?" Xiaolan asked.
The landlady shook her head hurriedly, "No, absolutely not. She just picked up a suitcase... just this one on the floor. She didn't bring anything else. If animals stay in our hotel, we need to register them."
The two nodded guiltily.
After all, their group also smuggled two animals and failed to register them.
"Could the fur of this color be that of a mouse?" Luo Jiutian asked.
"Rat!" the landlady jumped into the house. "Has the pipe up there been bitten? Is the line okay?"
"Everything is fine," Xiaolan said, "but is the mouse's hair so long?"
"I don't know, my understanding of mice is limited..."
"...Li Muyuan should know, right? Does he often deal with rats?"
"Take it back and ask them."
"Okay," Xiaolan stuffed the ball of hair into his pocket, turned to the boss's wife and said, "Auntie, we've almost finished the investigation, shall we go back first?"
"This... this is over," the landlady looked at the two of them, "So is there a ghost?"
"Yes, but she's not here now," Xiaolan said. "We have to go back and discuss it with them. When the ghost appears, we will catch her."
"Then let's..."
"You should go back downstairs and sleep first," Luo Jiutian said, "your dreams are also very important clues."
The two escorted the frightened proprietress downstairs and took another bag of blood rhinoceros horns from her. The proprietress looked tragic as she watched the two figures disappear around the corner of the stairs. She swallowed hard and looked
Looking at the gradually whitening sky outside the window, I began to tremble again.
Okay, okay, it's almost dawn.
The landlady decided to find something to do for herself, so she dug out the account book in the drawer and checked it word by word.
Xiaolan and Luo Jiutian walked side by side through the corridor. They stopped in front of the door and eavesdropped for a few seconds. Then they walked back to their room.
As soon as he entered the house, Baomu and Fool greeted him.
"We all heard it," Baomu said, "Is that person next door a ghost?"
"No, it's a human being," the Taoist priest answered Baomu's question, "Neither Xiaolan nor Jiutian felt the presence of Lingxi."
"Me neither," Xia Hua said, "I also tend to think that it is a living person."
Xiaolan took out the gray hair and asked, "Do you know this?"
A circle of heads gathered around him.
"Muyuan may know," Xia Hua said, "He is taking care of that senior brother Zhuge, should I call him over?"
"No, I know it," Baomu confidently pointed at the gray hair and said, "This is cat hair."
"Cat hair?!"
"Well," Baomu said, "there is a cat smell on the fur, but it's lighter, but you can still smell it."
"Is it a gray cat?" Qin Yin asked.
"White cat," Baomu rubbed a gray hair, and the hair suddenly turned white, "it looks gray because the cat's fur is stained."
