If you are afraid of ghosts, you have to hold on to the big man's thigh

The atmosphere of the four of them was awkward all the way, and the little Tianshi didn't want to disturb Yuan Dui who was driving, so he closed his eyes and took a nap with his head against the car window.When driving to the expressway service area, Jiang Cihang proposed to change driving with Team Yuan.Anyway, with navigation, as long as you can drive, anyone can drive.

Team Yuan didn't care, and was even happy to have someone be the driver, so he readily gave up the driver's seat, subconsciously wanting to sit in the back seat, but was stopped by the little celestial master, and sat in the co-pilot, the little celestial master sat with Li Qiubao. back seat.Several people rested at the service station and continued on the road. After about an hour, they finally arrived at the neighboring city. Tan Qisheng's contact address was in a vegetable market in an old-fashioned residential area.

The building is old and the entrance is narrow. It is very difficult for a small car to enter, not to mention Team Yuan's off-road vehicle.After discussing, the four parked the car outside, and then walked into the small residential building in the vegetable market.

Xiao Tianshi and Team Yuan planned to ask the people in the residential building if they had any clues about Tan Qisheng, and by the way, "visit" Tan Qisheng's room, search and see if there are any clues.

As soon as the four of them entered the residential building, they were stopped by an old man who was lazily sitting on a deck chair and fanning himself in the sun at the entrance.Seeing a stranger coming, the uncle took up the job of security with a decent appearance, and asked, "Who are you looking for?"

Unexpectedly, this place, which is not even considered a "community", has a strict sense of security.

Dui Yuan coughed lightly, straightened his face and said to the uncle: "Hello, sir, we are policemen from the XX police station next door. We came here today to find a Mr. Tan named Tan Qisheng..." Dui Yuan immediately He took out his police card and showed it to the uncle, and made up a reason, saying that he found that Mr. Tan Qisheng was suspected of participating in some illegal activities, and he still couldn't be contacted!

Yuan Dui said to the uncle downstairs in a serious manner: "Please cooperate with our actions and tell us everything you know."

The uncle was a little skeptical, and after taking a look at the documents, his attitude immediately turned 180 degrees.Simple people will have a layer of worship filter for the police.The uncle got up from the reclining chair, and immediately knew everything he wanted to say, and he kept talking, "Tan Qisheng? I know, the one who lives opposite me! Oh, you are a step late! He moved out yesterday. !"

Speaking of Tan Qisheng, the uncle's face changed slightly, and he was a little ugly. He said everything he knew, including some strange daily life between him and Tan Qisheng in detail, "I went away with a few young people before and never came back. Said, this house is not rented anymore, and I didn’t take any of my things... Those wardrobes, tables and so on..."

"Don't take anything?" Little Tianshi was a little surprised, and asked: "Did he come to handle the rent-out procedures? Do you remember when he came to handle it? One person or two people?"

"No." The uncle shook his head, "It's an unfamiliar face. Last night...it was so late! I'm going to bed, old man...I think it was around ten o'clock."

The uncle recalled that last night, he was already in a daze and was about to fall asleep, but suddenly he heard clear footsteps, not the heavy ones, but normal footsteps, but it was inexplicably poured into the ears, but it was very strange. clear.

However, I heard it, and the uncle planned to ignore it, but who knew that the sound of footsteps stopped at the door of his house, followed by the jingle of keys and the sound of unlocking, which was as clear as someone picking the lock of his house again. It was creepy, and it was mixed with rustling. Fortunately, the sound stopped after a short time, and the atmosphere returned to silence.

But the uncle always felt that something was wrong, he couldn't let go of his heart, and he couldn't close his eyes while lying on the bed. After a while, maybe less than 3 minutes, there was a knock on the door of the house.

The uncle got up, wondering who would knock on the door so late.Looking through the cat's eyes, I saw a strange and ordinary man standing at the door of his house with a polite smile on his face, but at this time, this smile seemed so weird.

"... Then, he spoke." Recalling what happened last night, the uncle still felt a little creepy.At that time, he had just been caught by the cat's eyes on the door, and before he had time to speak, the strange man said to himself: "'Hello, I am a relative of your neighbor, and I am entrusted by him to come to return the key. But I can't contact the landlord, and I don't know who to give this key to...'"

"So that person gave you Tan Qisheng's key?" Yuan Dui felt incredible, and at the same time, he was a little scared, and his goosebumps stood up, especially when he heard the uncle say that he just lay on the door and didn't make a sound. People outside the door already knew his location.

The uncle nodded, he is honest, he has no heart, and of course he is not stupid.Hearing what the people outside the door said, he didn't open the door directly, but waited with bated breath, and waited until the next morning, when the sky was slightly bright, he opened the door and took Tan Qisheng's key.

"Comrade police," the uncle said cooperatively and finished what he knew. At this time, his heart of gossip was burning, and he was afraid that he might have encountered criminals last night, so he asked excitedly: "Can you tell me, who?" What did Tan Qisheng commit? "

"I'm sorry, this is confidential, and it cannot be disclosed to others until the results are out." Yuan Dui took out his small notebook, brushed up the records, and asked: "Then the original landlord, did you get in touch?" ?"

Speaking of it, the behavior of the strange man coming to return the key is also very suspicious and strange. Under normal circumstances, if you want to cancel the rent, you must contact the landlord in advance, and return the key in front of the landlord.

"Moving" at the door in the middle of the night, and the key was casually given to the neighbor who lives opposite. This operation is not an operation that normal people would have at all.

The uncle scratched his head and said, "We got in touch! But they said they don't have time to come to the door for now..."

"Okay, thank you for your cooperation!" Captain Yuan asked the original landlord's phone number, and then asked if he could provide the key.They wanted to come in and investigate.

Of course, the uncle had no objection, and he greeted the four of them to go upstairs together, took out the key of Tan Qisheng's rented house, and opened the door.

As soon as the door was opened, there was a smell of rotten wood. The light in the living room was dim, and there were small bugs floating in the turbid air. The smell in the room was very strong, and it was obvious that it hadn't been cleaned for a long time. A thin layer of ash, and a string of footprints and drag marks.

The smell of Tan Qisheng's house was so strong that several people couldn't help pinching their noses, and directly smoked the uncle out of the room. He leaned on the wall, stared at his eyes, and dared not step into Tan Qisheng's room no matter how curious he was.

The uncle opened the door and went downstairs. Jiang Cihang pinched his nose and frowned, and scrutinized Tan Qisheng's rental house, one bedroom and one living room, with pitifully sparse furniture. At first glance, there was nothing worth investigating. I don't know if something useful was taken away by that mysterious strange man last night.

"Let's check casually first, maybe there are some useful clues." Captain Yuan said without much hope, then he took out the shoe cover from his pocket, and signaled the little celestial master and the other three to put it on, so as not to "damage" the shoe print. scene", "Let's open all the windows! I can't stand the smell!"

The four moved quickly. After opening the window of the living room, they went straight to Tan Qisheng's bedroom. As soon as he opened the door, Dui Yuan, who was standing at the front, was taken aback by the figure standing in the room. Staggering, he put his hand on the wall, and there was a crisp "pop", which happened to hit the light switch in the room!

In an instant, Tan Qisheng's room was brightly lit, and the standing "figure" was revealed in front of the four of them.It turned out to be a wooden figure covered with a red cloth!With their backs facing the four people, they sat cross-legged on a wooden "lotus flower", but upon closer inspection, there were dozens of distorted human faces floating on the petals of the lotus flower, some of which were extremely clear, as if they were about to come out of the lotus seat, and some The ones are indistinct, leaving only an outline.

As soon as they saw the wooden statue, goosebumps exploded from the arms of the four of them in an instant, and the goosebumps bloomed on the arms visible to the naked eye.The most disgusting thing was the floor under the feet of the wooden statue, which was covered with densely packed insects. There were many kinds of them, and they were disgusting, some of which were unique to the mountains.

Li Qiubao was so frightened that he let out a cry of surprise, and subconsciously grabbed the corner of Jiang Cihang's clothes. In an instant, the memories of the "Tan Qisheng World" flooded into his mind. Same.Jiang Cihang on the side frowned, but didn't pay much attention to his emotions, but stared at the "roset" under the wooden statue, and took a closer look. The petals on the rosette were all made of wooden hands. Pieced together!

With a pale face, the little celestial master suppressed his nausea, and stepped forward quickly, ignoring the unanimous "no" from Dui Yuan and Li Qiubao, and tore off the red cloth covering the wooden statue's head.

"Be careful!" Li Qiubao then shouted.

Hearing the sound of "嘤", a few flies flew out from under the red cloth in a panic, and as the red cloth was taken off, Tan Qisheng's terrified, unwilling, distorted and terrifying wooden face immediately filled the little heavenly master's face. eyeballs!

Two holes were punched in part of the lower jaw and the melon on the head, and there were traces of lightning strikes. Looking inside, the inside of the wooden statue was completely hollowed out, exuding an unpleasant smell of decayed wood, and there were some white Insects were crawling around inside.

Tan Qisheng was obviously "dead", but for some reason, he was completely integrated with the wooden statue.The little celestial master threw down the red cloth and walked around to the front of the wooden statue. At this moment, Dui Yuan approached cautiously, his palms and forehead were covered with a layer of cold sweat from the light and flint that the little celestial master had just pulled off the red cloth.

He murmured: "You are too impulsive, you just rushed up and tore off the red cloth... What the hell! This, this, this..."

On the back of the wooden statue is Tan Qisheng's face, and on the front is a feminine and hideous strange face. Also because of the lightning strike, there are spider-like cracks, but the facial features are still clearly identifiable.

"This is the evil god I was talking about." The little celestial master said in a deep voice, licking his lips nervously, "but it seems to be useless now." After finishing speaking, the little celestial master bit his lip in frustration, and then Squat down to look at the rosettes made of dozens of wooden palms, and the faces on the rosettes, among which the most distinctive faces, Xiao Tianshi and Li Qiubao still know each other. Passers-by in Tan Qisheng World"!

Based on the clarity of those "carvings", the little celestial master reasonably guessed that maybe it has something to do with the time of death.The first person whose life was devoured by this wooden statue left only a vague outline without facial features.

The only good thing is that there is no chair's face on the rosette, that is to say, the chair is most likely still alive!
