"But..." a police officer said, "There should be someone cleaning the stairwell regularly. In this case, will the footprints from the night before yesterday remain until now?"
As soon as I said this, I was extremely frightened when I thought about it carefully.
The police were suddenly at a loss. Lu Shoucai quickly explained, "Because there are not many people taking the stairs, our stairwell cleaning work is generally not that frequent. It is possible that the cleaning is not done properly."
The captain nodded, "It makes sense...Xiao Wang, don't be stunned, go to the room to get the equipment, and start collecting footprints now."
The policemen became busy again. The two of them quickly went downstairs and returned to the car to get the equipment. Others gathered around the footprints and began to study them. Lu Shoucai stood quietly aside, looking left and right from time to time.
Qin Yin put her hands on her hips and looked at the quiet corridor and said, "There don't seem to be many guests on the eighth floor. Is it blocked? Or are the guests living on this floor just lazy and sleeping in?"
As soon as Qin Yin finished speaking, there was a sudden sound from the other end of the corridor.
This sound was very familiar to them. It was the sound of the stairwell door being pushed shut.
It's the stairwell over there.
"Hey, that's weird," Qin Yin turned around and asked, "Did you see someone walking past just now?"
Wen Ling shook his head, "No."
"That means someone in the stairwell opened the door and then slammed the door shut?" Qin Yin scratched his head, "Who is playing a prank?"
At this time, another loud noise exploded in their ears.
Bang!
"Ah!" Wen Ling shivered in fright.
They both turned around, and the stairwell door beside them was already closed.
Not only that...
The little baby was sitting by the door, tilting his head and looking at them innocently.
Qin Yin and Wen Ling took a sharp breath of air.
There was a knock on the door.
"What's going on with this door?" the police captain's voice came from the other side of the door.
"It seems that it was suddenly blown by the wind," this was Lu Shoucai's voice, "It seems that the carmen device needs to be replaced."
The door frame rattled a few times, "Why can't it be opened?"
"Is it stuck?" Lu Shoucai said, "I'll call someone to come up and fix it."
"Xiao Liu, tell Xiao Wang to come up the stairs."
"good."
The conversation over there came to an end, but the three people on Qin Yin's side remained motionless and remained still.
Qin Yin and Wen Ling opened their mouths wide and looked down at the little baby. The baby looked up at them with a meaningless smile unique to babies.
"You...you..."
The house leaked and it rained all night. At this time, there was a ding and the elevator rang.
The elevator is near the stairs. If anyone comes out, they can see a naked baby sitting on the ground.
The elevator door opened slightly, and the sound of conversation came from inside.
"Bai came up. The captain said the door was stuck and asked us to go down and take the stairs."
"What door is stuck?"
"It's the door to the stairwell..."
It's the police!
Qin Yin and Wen Lingdeng panicked immediately. Although they didn't know why they were panicking, they panicked anyway.
"Oh my god, what should I do? They are coming!..." Qin Yin covered her chest, "No, calm down, calm down... They should go downstairs directly and not get out of the elevator..."
Wen Ling also clenched his hands and prayed to the sky like he was doing the same thing, "Go downstairs!..."
"Let's go, let's go down," a police officer said.
Qin Yin and Wen Ling breathed a sigh of relief.
"Wait!" A hand stretched out from the elevator and pressed it on the elevator door, preventing the elevator door from closing. "Xiao Wang, why don't you go down by yourself? I'll take a look at the stairwell from here.
The door, maybe it can be repaired."
"Hmm...that's fine."
What a fart!
"What to do, what to do, what to do?..."
Qin Yin and Wenling were so anxious that they ran around in circles and stretched out one foot from the elevator. The police were about to come out.
He was about to see it.
"Never mind!"
Qin Yin gritted his teeth and stamped his feet, bent down to pick up the little baby, and pulled Wen Ling into the empty room beside him.
After closing the door, the two of them put their ears to the door, breathing heavily while eavesdropping on the movement outside the door.
Footsteps are approaching.
Stopped outside the door.
"Huh?" The police officer pushed the door open, "Wasn't this door open just now?"
Qin Yin and Wen Ling quickly covered their mouths.
Tuk-tuk-tuk...
"Is there anyone?" The police officer knocked on the door, "Is there anyone inside?..."
"Xiao Sun?" From further away, the captain's voice sounded, "Is that you?"
"Oh, Captain, it's me..." Xiao Sun ran towards the stairwell, "Captain, I heard that the door to the stairwell is broken, what's going on?"
"It's this door that can't be opened..."
"Oh, let me try to see if I can open it..."
"call--"
Qin Yin and Wen Ling breathed a long sigh of relief. They were so nervous that they were sweating profusely. They looked at each other and laughed at the same time.
"I just remembered that he couldn't hear our voices at all. Why did we hold our breath?" Qin Yin shook his head helplessly, "But it suffocated me to death..."
"Yes..." Wen Ling lowered his eyes, "But..."
Only then did Qin Yin remember that she was still holding a baby.
The little baby lay obediently on Qin Yin's chest, blinking its big eyes, looking at Qin Yin and then at Wen Ling.
"Hey...where did this child come from?" Qin Yin's tone became gentler unconsciously, "He really doesn't look like a bad boy, he's so cute..."
Wen Ling nodded and reached out to stroke the two tufts of hair on the baby's forehead.
The little baby seemed to be tickled, opened its mouth, and laughed crisply.
At the same time, there was a creak and the sound of the door opening came from outside the corridor.
"It's open!" It was the captain's voice. "Xiao Sun, you are very powerful. How did you open it?"
The door to the stairwell is open.
"I don't know either, it suddenly opened..."
Qin Yin looked down at the little baby, "Is it the little guy like you who did this?"
The little baby smiled even more happily. He waved his hands and his laughter spread out.
"Huh? What's the sound?"
"I don't know...it's a bit like a child."
"Child? Is he a resident?"
"I don't know... By the way, Mr. Lu, I remember that room is vacant, right? The door of this room was suddenly closed just now..."
Qin Yin and Wen Ling's smiles solidified on their faces.
Too careless!
"Holy crap, they can hear this little guy's voice!" Qin Yin ran towards the depths of the room, "Wen Ling! Come and hide!"
The two of them huddled behind the bed. Qin Yin pointed at the baby and ordered, "Stop laughing! Don't laugh! If you laugh again, I will... gag you!"
The little baby actually stopped laughing when he saw Qin Yin's fierce look.
He cried.
The crying was louder and more penetrating, and the sound of crying spread to the distance. Qin Yin and Wen Ling were almost shaken out of auditory hallucinations.
The cry was so loud that there was an echo. The sound came towards the two of them from all directions, and of course it also attracted the attention of several people outside the door.
There was a knock on the door.
"Hello?" The captain knocked on the door, "Are you in trouble?"
