Reincarnation Train Restart [Unlimited]

The corridors of Cheng's house were carpeted, and they walked quietly.

Wu Xiajiu carried a kerosene lamp for lighting. The corridor he was inspecting now was the place where he had seen the photo of Sergeant Cheng's family before.

In addition to the group photos of the family, there are also single photos.

Wu Xiajiu raised the kerosene lamp and leaned closer to the wall, and took a closer look at each of them from the other end of the corridor.

They didn't stay here for a long time before, and he was behind Director Li and Police Chief Cheng, so he didn't actually read the photos very much.

Looking at it now, although the eldest wife of Sheriff Cheng has taken a lot of photos, the expressions on each of them are not very happy.

Only when she took a photo alone with her son Cheng Jiqian, the eldest lady's expression was somewhat gentle.

Wu Xiajiu was looking at a photo of the eldest lady alone.

In the photo, she is standing alone in a place, wearing a dark embroidered cheongsam. The flower is a peony, embroidered with a lighter thread color.

The contrast of depth and light complements the woman's figure very well, and her face is naturally beautiful.

Her eyes looked straight ahead, there was no other expression on her face, cold and depressed.

The photos hanging on the wall are all black and white, and the quality of the photos is naturally not the best, so people are slightly distorted in the photos, their faces are pale and there is no trace of blood, and only a pair of pitch-black eyes are particularly obvious.

Wu Xia looked at it for a long time, then looked away, and then walked to other places with the kerosene lamp.

But he didn't notice that at the moment he turned around, when the slightly dim yellow light of the kerosene lamp moved away from the photo, the eyes of the lady changed accordingly.

Her eyes turned, and she changed from looking straight ahead to squinting, and the direction of her squinting eyes was Wu Xiajiu's leaving back.

Wu Xiajiu came to the corridor on the second floor.

There was a window at the end of this corridor, and the window was facing a corner of the small garden.

Wu Xiajiu walked over with a kerosene lamp in hand, stretched out his hand and opened a gap in the window to look out.

The moon was hanging high outside, and the moonlight was just right, and two figures could be vaguely seen walking back and forth near the gate of the front yard and the small garden respectively.

And the light from the kerosene lamps in their hands flickered, as if it made the night more peaceful.

Wu Xiajiu stood by the window for a while, but found nothing unusual.

But just as he was about to raise his hand to close the window, he suddenly heard footsteps behind him. The footsteps were obviously the sound that a woman can only make when she walks on high heels.

The heel of the shoe stepped on the carpet in the corridor, the sound was small and dull, kicking and kicking, slowly approaching from far to near...

Who is it?

It can't be that Miss Zhuang Miaoling.

Because she was wearing an old-fashioned old cheongsam during the day, which was wide and fat, and could completely cover her figure. She looked extremely conservative, and the shoes on her feet were also a pair of soft cloth with pink soles.

If you are stepping on the carpet of this kind of corridor, it is impossible to make the sound of high heels.

Of course, maybe Ms. Zhuang might change into another outfit at night and go out for a walk, but who would deliberately change into a pair of high heels for walking at night...

Wu Xiajiu moved his fingers slightly, and his fingertips slid across the window sill.

The window, which had been opened a little, turned to the outside again, and the clean glass reflected the scene of the corridor behind him under the light of the kerosene lamp.

——The distance in the corridor was pitch black, and the corridor behind him was illuminated by moonlight and kerosene lamps at the same time, so everything was still clearly visible.

However, the illumination range of moonlight and kerosene lamps is limited after all, so a clear boundary line was drawn obliquely in the corridor, and the connection between light and darkness gradually converged.

There are walls on the left and right sides of Wu Xiajiu, and windows in front of him, but it is on the second floor. It is not high from the ground, but it is not too low.

If you jump down, it is only to the extent that you may break your leg and sprain your foot, and you will not die.

…So if he really encounters a ghost and cannot escape, he chooses to fight alone.

Wu Xiajiu listened to the sound of approaching footsteps behind him, and his eyes watched the scene reflected on the window glass——in the dark part of the corridor, a figure finally appeared slowly.

It was a woman in a cheongsam, a dark red embroidered cheongsam with peony patterns, a pale face, a shadowy face and a pair of eyes full of melancholy.

He had only seen it in the photo not long ago, it was the eldest lady.

Seemingly aware that Wu Xiajiu could see her on the glass of the window, when she walked to the place where the light and dark intersect, the eldest lady stopped suddenly, staring at Wu Xiajiu with a pair of black eyes.

At this moment, the kerosene lamp in Wu Xiajiu's hand went out instantly, and the light in the corridor immediately dimmed, leaving only a little bit of moonlight to illuminate the place.

Da Furen's face was even paler, compared with the dark red embroidered cheongsam, it seemed like a ghost was about to kill her.

Wu Xiajiu touched the bracelet with one hand, his body tensed slightly, secretly vigilant.

But the eldest lady didn't make any move, instead, after the eyes of one person and one ghost met on the glass, the eldest lady turned around and left.

Wu Xiajiu was obviously taken aback, he didn't expect such a development.

Immediately, he turned around with a frown, paused, and stepped forward to catch up.

That graceful figure seemed to be walking unhappily, but in fact, no matter how Wu Xiajiu quickened his pace, he was always at a distance from the eldest lady.

The eldest lady led Wu Xiajiu to the backyard gradually, but when she passed a corner, her figure suddenly disappeared.

Seeing this, Wu Xiajiu frowned and walked over quickly.

But just when he was also turning, he bumped into a hard chest unexpectedly, and his nose hurt a little. Wu Xiajiu couldn't help but groaned, took two steps back in an instant, and raised his head.

"Deputy team?"

The person in front of him was the vice-team Shi, who unexpectedly left the front hall and appeared here at some point.

Wu Xiajiu couldn't help but cast a glance behind him. When the deputy team saw this, he also turned his head to look behind him. The mirror reflected light slightly under the moonlight, so he couldn't see his eyes clearly.

He tilted his head slightly, and asked with an unchanged expression: "What's the matter, what are you looking at?"

Wu Xiajiu said: "Nothing... Where does this road lead to?"

Deputy Commander Shi: "The room of Inspector Cheng's eldest son, Cheng Jiqian, is where I live now."

"Why did the deputy team leave the front hall?" Wu Xiajiu asked.

He patrolled the upper and lower corridors, the first floor and the second floor, and there was a photo wall on the first floor. He just saw the ghost of the eldest lady in the corridor on the second floor.

If you want to go from the front hall to the backyard, just pass through from the first floor.

Therefore, on the second floor, Wu Xiajiu would never have known about the departure of the deputy team.

The deputy captain said: "Are you questioning the captain's dereliction of duty?"

"...No, dare not, deputy team, I'm just wondering."

Shi's deputy team chuckled, lowered his head slightly and pushed his glasses, then leaned closer to Wu Xiajiu, and said in a low voice, "Of course I remembered something and forgot to take it, so I came back to get it."

"However, I would like to ask you, why don't you patrol the corridors on the first and second floors, instead of appearing here?"

"You want to report something, eh?"

Wu Xiajiu opened his mouth and was about to say something when he suddenly heard a terrified scream from the backyard—it seemed to be the voice of Sergeant Cheng.

He and Shi's deputy captain suddenly turned serious, turned around and ran towards the place where the sound came from.
