Chapter 5 Happy Death Day (5)

At the dining table, the three of them sat in a row, and the landlady, He Hongmei, brought out the dishes one by one, muttering, "Sweet and sour fish, double-cooked pork, fish-flavored shredded pork..."

It turned out to be a table full of meat dishes. Lu Youyou was overwhelmed with surprise. She took the lead in moving her chopsticks, but she was knocked down hard when the dishes were caught halfway.

She met He Hongmei's cold eyes in astonishment, and he glared at her, then turned to look at the empty seat beside her, and said in an unprecedentedly loving tone, "Come on, let's eat first."

Lu Youyou showed a terrified expression, a little confused.

Is this woman a lunatic?
Just when she was hesitating whether to leave quickly tonight, Zhao Yutang said in a flat tone, "Who is Xiaobing?"

The eyes of the three all turned to her, Xin Ran propped his face, his eyes were dark under the long eyelashes.

She was too calm and careful. From the moment she came in, she didn't pay attention to which places could be the exits for escape, but she was very interested in this house and He Hongmei.

He Hongmei's expression was stiff, and sometimes her tone couldn't even keep up with her movements, and she felt a sense of disharmony in her whole body.While moving her seat uneasily, she said very kindly, "It's my son, my son likes to eat these dishes, we have to let him eat first."

After a pause for a few seconds, she turned sideways as if listening to the other party, and then sighed, "Okay, my son said he has no appetite tonight, you can eat."

This action frightened Lu Youyou, and after she left, she couldn't wait to ask, "Is she a lunatic?"

How could she live with a madman!
"laugh--"

Xin Ran suddenly chuckled and nodded in agreement, "He is indeed a lunatic."

If not a lunatic, who would have imprisoned his own son for decades, who would have—

He changed the subject, "But it might just be a poor man who lost his son."

Lu Youyou has already calculated her savings in a few seconds. She came to rent this house because she had no money. Don't say the landlord is crazy at this moment, even if the landlord is a ghost, she can't leave.

In order to step down for herself, she echoed Xin Ran's words, "That's right, he's just a poor person."

Forget it, there are three of them, are they afraid that a crazy woman will fail?

After speaking, she took a deep breath, quickly put the meat in the bowl, and ate happily.

Zhao Yutang ate quietly, seldom eating vegetables, and went back to his room after eating.She didn't take Xin Ran's threats seriously, and continued to search for clues as soon as she entered the room.

Sure enough, at the bottom of the closet, she saw a photo of the living room in the background. In the photo, the landlord's family of three was shown, but the position of the son was torn off diagonally from top to bottom, and only half of his body could be seen.

This photo is obviously rectangular. He Hongmei and her husband are standing closer to each other. If it wasn't accidental, there should be two other people on the opposite side.

Besides He Hongmei's son, who else is there?

Xin Ran?

What exactly is his role here?
Lu Youyou lay on the bed, "How did you say that He Hongmei's son died? Didn't he die in this room?"

She had a chill: "No wonder the rent is so cheap, it turned out to be a haunted house."

Zhao Yutang held the photo and said softly, "Where's her husband?"

Lu Youyou thought she was talking to herself, and said casually, "Maybe he died too."

After finishing speaking, seeing Zhao Yutang looking straight at him, he felt a little uncomfortable, "What are you doing?"

Zhao Yutang put away the photo, "It's very possible."

It is very likely that He Hongmei is the only person left in this photo.
