Since there were still several interviews after the event, it was already two o'clock in the morning when we returned to the residence.

After a night of no dreams, it was already past nine in the morning when I opened my eyes again.

Qin Yue had other things on his mind, even though he still felt tired, he quickly rolled over and got out of bed.After washing and tidying up, I dressed neatly and walked out of the room.

With his coat and backpack in hand, he went into the kitchen to grab a piece of toast, and looked down for something to drink.

"Where are you going?" The abrupt voice made his feet slip and he almost lost his footing.Opening his mouth, the unlucky piece of bread fell to the ground.He hurriedly threw the things in his hand on the cooking table, reached out to pick them up, and patted them while picking them up.

Holding a cup of hot drink, the man was opening the sliding door and returning to the house from the terrace.With his other hand holding his cell phone, he seemed to have just finished calling outside.

"You, why didn't you go to the company?"

After asking, Qin Yue suddenly felt that this question was very hot.Who is Guan Yunheng?There is a world of difference between a big boss who occasionally works crazily and enjoys life daily, and those workaholics who take the company as their home.Just last month, he was interviewed by a business weekly with the title "Efficient Life".

Sure enough, as soon as he finished speaking, Guan Yunheng's eyebrows were lowered by two points. Half of the probability was that he disliked his way of picking things, and the other half seemed to be thinking of something that made him quite unpleasant.

"Do you think I'm that guy Shen Chen?"

"Ah?" Qin Yue thought for a long time before she remembered that "Shen Chen" was the name of the helm of the universe, and it was also the "imaginary enemy" that various magazines set up for Guan Yunheng.Of course, Guan Yunheng’s own evaluation of this statement is very harsh——

"When the attention of business magazines shifts from paying attention to advanced management concepts in the industry and researching companies' operating conditions to making up stories out of thin air, this magazine should go bankrupt!"

Qin Yue stared at the other party's unconcealed displeasure, and thought: According to him, those "rumors" that were wrong were not all "stories".

At least anyone with eyes can see it.Guan Yunheng has inexplicably naive hostility towards Shen Chen in some aspects.Of course, he wouldn't say such a fact, lest Boss Guan be the one to suffer, wouldn't he be the one to suffer?

The young man's thoughts were floating, and he began to start Tianma Xingkong uncontrollably, until Guan Yunheng repeated the same words for the second time.He came back to his senses and asked, "Sorry, what were you talking about just now?"

The man's back molars were ground, he drank the coffee in the cup, and said, "Are you going to meet Liu Lan alone like this?"

Qin Yue asked with wide-eyed eyes: "Why do you..." You know?Before he finished asking, he almost bit his own tongue.This self-incriminating rhetorical question made me cry stupidly in an instant.

Guan Yunheng hummed: "You look like your hair is going to stand on end when you see me..." Halfway through speaking, he stopped and stared at him.The implication is, what else do you not understand?

Qin Yue muttered softly: "I just want to find out whether Liu Lan is the mysterious person behind Yang Xueman. You have to meet her before you can make a conclusion."

This time, Guan Yunheng just snorted twice, but did not object.Seeing that he didn't dissuade and object, Qin Yue was relieved.

Unexpectedly, the man suddenly said: "You have an accident physique, who knows what will happen?"

"The sky is blue and the sun is bright, nothing can go wrong. I have Fumo, and I have Kasyapa with me."

The man stared at him, rolled his eyes twice, and suddenly said, "I want to go too."

"what?"

"I'll ask Guan Peng to bring a few people over right away."

Qin Yue raised her head and made a weak retort: ​​"But this..." It's not appropriate.Besides, if something supernatural happens, let alone a few people, even a hundred people are useless.

The rest of the words were still on the tip of his tongue, the man glanced at him, and said firmly: "No but..."

Turning around, he had already dialed Guan Peng's phone and started talking.

All right, Boss Guan said one thing, and it's useless to object.

Dejected, Qin Yue went to the kitchen and took out a box of milk, drank a couple of sips, and was putting the slice of bread into her mouth, but only bit the air.

The piece of bread was taken away by Guan Yunheng, who went back and forth, and was thrown into the kitchen trash can with a beautiful parabola.

"Take another piece, it's so dirty and feed it into your mouth."

In fact, it's okay, what a waste to lose.Qin Yue stared with regret at the thing that could not be saved at all.

When the words came to his lips, they automatically turned into a "good".

After going out, getting into the car, and saying hello to Guan Peng, Qin Yue thought with a long reflex: Strange, why is he so obedient? !

*********

Liu Lan's address is not far away, and with the heavy traffic, it only took more than half an hour to drive.However, because it was a community built at the end of the last century, it was neglected in maintenance and looked a bit dilapidated, which seemed a bit out of place with the luxury convoy Qin Yue Guan Yunheng was riding in.

Counting on Boss Guan's low profile may be less likely than today's hailstorm.Fortunately, the gatekeepers here are two old men in their 70s and [-]s who are mentally ill.Compared with serious and rigorous interrogation of strange visitors, the other party is more keen to listen to the Peking Opera arias on the portable radio.After a simple registration, they were released without even being asked to show their identity certificates.

Driving further in, they quickly found the unit where Liu Lan lived.Guan Yunheng asked Guan Peng to stay downstairs, and accompanied Qin Yue upstairs.In this decades-old building, the elevators are installed from the outside at the back.Liu Lan lived in Room [-] on the second floor, and Qin Yue simply walked upstairs.

Guan Yunheng asked, "Do you have any plans?"

Qin Yue shook her head and replied: "I don't know the situation, we can only talk about it when we see each other. If not, that's of course good, at least clear up one doubt."

"If so?"

"If it is... remember what we discussed before. The mysterious person must have some kind of acquired defect, which makes him more willing to control everything remotely, and when his ability is exhausted, there will be a period of rest. I don't necessarily think it will be a direct confrontation like this. will lose."

"You are quite confident."

"This is not self-confidence, but reasonable prediction."

They came to the door of Room [-] and stopped.

Guan Yunheng took a breath and asked, "Did you smell a strange smell?"

"Yes." There are two huge garbage trailers piled up downstairs in the unit, and there are everything in them. Walking all the way, the smell is so bad that people can't help but hold their breath.

Qin Yue raised his hand and began to knock on the door.He holds an origami yellow talisman in his other hand, just in case.

Boom, boom, boom, from light to heavy, no one answered the door after knocking for 10 minutes.

He touched the metal door panel and half closed his eyes.After a few seconds, he said again: "There are traces of spiritual power left in the door..." Although it has faded, it still exists.

Guan Yunheng asked: "You mean, Liu Lan is the person we are looking for?" Because of the lingering strange smell, he covered his nose and turned his face away in disgust.

"Not sure yet, just an increased possibility. Because it's too faint, I can't tell."

Guan Yun crossed his arms and said, "You have been knocking for 10 minutes. The sound is so loud that you can even hear it upstairs. Maybe you are not at home or don't want to open it?"

"Maybe, I don't know if there are people living in the two rooms next to it."

Qin Yue stopped and was thinking about how to ask the neighbors.A woman in a thick padded jacket with dark patterns came out of the elevator carrying two bags of things.She is about 50 years old, with a passer-by appearance and round cheeks.

"Are you looking for Liu Lan?" She spoke with a local accent and spoke very fast. As she asked, she looked at the two strangers calmly, appearing surprised and confused.

"Yes, auntie. We were entrusted by Liu Lan's fellow countryman to deliver things to her. We made an appointment in advance, but it looks like she's not at home." Qin Yue pointed at the backpack and said nonsense.

Qin Yue looks good, and when she smiles, she is even more harmless to humans and animals.Although the woman secretly felt that he looked familiar, she couldn't remember where she had seen him before.She didn't doubt that he was there, so she took a few steps closer and said, "It's impossible. Liu Lan has lived here for more than three years, and is at home almost every day. If you keep knocking, maybe you just didn't hear it."

"Is that so? By the way, Auntie, are you familiar with Liu Lan?"

"It's quite familiar. The house she rented also belongs to my family. She is a girl and has limited mobility. I will occasionally help deliver some things."

After finishing speaking, she frowned strangely, as if remembering something strange.

Can not move?It matched his previous speculation.Qin Yue said calmly: "It seems that her legs are still the same."

The woman sighed and said, "Yes, it's an old injury. It's a pity, what a smart girl, if her legs are good, maybe the child can be soy sauce."

"That is."

Just as they were talking, a tall and thin woman hurried down the stairs. When she saw the landlady's wife, she said, "Wen Li, I've come down before, but I finally found you."

"What's the matter? What's the matter?" asked the landlady.

The thin and tall woman waved her hand and said, "It's not a big deal, but I always feel that your corridor has a strange smell."

The landlady replied nonchalantly: "It's the garbage downstairs again. A few days ago, I saw that the old Zhao's house on the seventh floor killed a chicken and threw all the internal organs below. It's no wonder it doesn't smell bad. I have reacted to the property several times. Saying it is tantamount to talking in vain, it’s useless!”

The thin and tall woman glanced at the two strangers, and said in a low voice, "To tell you the truth, I thought it was downstairs too. But when I take Bumble for a walk these days, it always goes into the crack of the door every time." Smell, it's been four or five days."

She pointed to Liu Lan's rented house, and said, "Today is even more outrageous. I'm not here at the door, and I'm sweating all over."

Smell through the crack of the door?Qin Yue suddenly had a bad premonition in her heart.

He saw the tall and thin woman pulling the landlady's wife and continued: "After I got home, my heart was pounding. I said... you, the tenant, did something happen in there?"

The landlady's face has become a little dignified, but she still denies it: "What else can happen? You are thinking too much."

The thin and tall woman was even more aggressive, and said, "Find a mirror and look at your current face. Don't believe me! If you live alone now, there are many accidents! Besides, doesn't Liu Lan have bad legs?"

Qin Yue interjected at the right time and echoed: "Yes, auntie, your neighbor is right. You see, we have been knocking for so long, but there is no response from inside, and no one answered the phone. You are the landlord, so you must have a backup key."

"Yes, Wen Li, this young man has a point."

The landlady hesitated and said: "But... this house is rented to someone else, how can there be any reason to rush in? Maybe she really has something urgent to go out?"

The thin and tall woman sneered and said, "Do you believe the latter?"

Of course... I don't believe it.Although I don't see much in the past, I occasionally meet supermarkets or takeaways delivered to my door.In the past few days...not even once.The more the landlady thought about it, the more uncertain she became.

"Open it and have a look. If the person is really okay, it will be reassuring." Qin Yue pushed her one last time.

The landlady thought for a while, then turned around and went to the house to find a spare key.After half a turn, the door opened.

She opened the door and went in.It didn't take long for Qin Yue to hear a muffled thud.

What followed was a woman's shrill scream: "How could this be? How could this be?!"

problem occurs!Qin Yue and Guan Yunheng read the same conclusion from each other's eyes.

Guan Peng and others who were waiting downstairs heard such a big movement, and ran up quickly: "Brother, is something wrong!"

The door was half open, half-hidden.

From their vantage point, the long, narrow corridor leads directly to the outdated living room.The landlady collapsed on the ground, trembling.Across her chubby back, a bar hung in the center of the living room, slightly swaying from side to side.

It looks like Liu Lan who has been dead for many days!

Everyone couldn't help but gasped, and their hair stood on end.
