Chapter 103 - Footsteps in the Old Room

I know what Old He said was true, and immediately said to Lin Dong: "Superintendent Lin, bring me to the warehouse."

Zhao Qi decisively said, "I'll go with you."

Old He waved his hand, "No way, your police officers have too much strong of an aura, and you have too much yang energy. If we go, we will only cause trouble."

Saying so, he took a deep breath and stood up while holding onto the chair.

Jiang Huaibo hurriedly said, "Old sir, you … If your body isn't good, then don't … Don't go. "

When I saw that Old He's legs were trembling, I asked Jiang Huaibo what was wrong with him.

Old He stomped his feet and said, now was not the time to talk about this.

He sighed, then sat down again. His gaze turned around, and finally landed on Shen Qing, and said:

"Little Shen is a new person, right? You don't have much of an imposing manner, not to mention, you're a girl. You should go with Xu Huo."

I said, "No need, I'll go by myself."

Old He stared at him, "How can you brag about such a thing? Do you know what the situation is? "One more person and one more helper, there will be one less mistake!"

As he said that, he handed the mahogany nail over to Shen Qing.

"Give me the paper man."

I quickly handed the paper man over to him.

He picked up a brush and dipped it in cinnabar, then drew a seal on the paper man, then wrote Qian Tao's name and birthday down.

"Once you find the soul, throw the paper man over and the soul will be attached to it. Remember, no matter what happens, you must retrieve your soul first! You must be quick! "

I nodded, kept the paper man well, and let Lin Dong lead the way.

Lin Dong told me as he walked that the old warehouse was at the back of the women's prison. Because of the plan to demolish and rebuild it, most of it had been emptied. He was the one who had sent Qian Tao out to see if there were still anything else he could use in the evening, but he didn't expect such a thing to happen.

Passing through the prison, he saw an old two-story building behind him. Although there were only two floors, each floor seemed to have seven or eight big rooms. There was also a small iron fence surrounding the square, making it look like a small-scale factory.

Lin Dong said: "Qian Tao and the rest were found in the warehouse at the east of the second floor."

I couldn't help but ask, "So what does this building actually do?"

Zhao Qi said: "Four years ago, this was the Eastern City Prison. After that, the Prison moved to the Siping and they changed the prison here. This building was used by women prisoners to work in the prison. "

"Why are you so familiar with it?" I was a little surprised.

Zhao Qi's expression darkened, and muttered: "She was previously here."

"She?"

I looked at him but didn't ask any further questions. Let him, Lin Dong and Shen Qing wait here while I head over there myself.

Shen Qing frowned: "Didn't you hear what Old He has to say? You can't show off."

"Do you believe anything he says?" Can he not take your rent? "

"No, this is the key to the Watch Room. You're still an outsider right now, so I have to go in with you." Shen Qing shook the mahogany nail in his hand and said resolutely.

I hesitated for a moment, nodded, and asked Lin Dong for the key.

Lin Dong gave me a large stainless steel key and two flashlight s, and said:

"The key in the building is universal. Because it was prepared to be removed, the power in the building has already been cut off."

I took the key and a flashlight and headed back to the old building.

After walking a few steps, he suddenly remembered something, and anxiously turned his head to Shen Qing who was following him, and said: "It's fine to follow, but leave your spear behind."

"Why?"

"You still want to ask?" Did you forget that you almost blew my head off in Pinggu County last time? "

Shen Qing stuck out her tongue, took off the gun and gave it to Zhao Qi.

The gate outside the old building was pushed open, letting out an ear-piercing creak.

I don't know why, but after hearing that sound, I suddenly had a strange feeling that I had never experienced before.

It was just like … Passing through this door would be like reaching another world.

As he went downstairs, the feeling got worse.

I thought for a bit, then took out a plastic bag from my bag. After opening it, I dipped some powder on Shen Qing's face.

"What is this?" Shen Qing whispered as if she was a thief.

"It's Hundred Herb Frost. If you put it on your face, I won't be able to see you with dirt on your face."

"Why is it black?"

"Don't ask anymore, hurry up and find someone." I turned and shrugged. I'm not going to tell you that the Hundred Herb Frost is the bottom of a pot, and all you have to do is wipe your forehead. I want to keep my face blank. Hehehe...

I looked through the window at a room on the first floor, dark except for two iron shelves and an old desk.

I looked at my watch and saw that it was already half past one. I said that time was limited and headed straight to the second floor to look for it.

They went along the corridor outside to the west side of the stairs and up to the second floor.

The strange feeling from before became even stronger.

My mind was a little unsettled, and I warned Shen Qing in a low voice to be careful, and not leave my side.

The room where the accident occurred was on the east side. The two of them planned to head straight for that room.

He had just taken a few steps when he heard heavy footsteps behind him.

"Bang bang bang bang bang …"

Startled by this sudden voice, I hastily turned around, but there was no sign of me.

The sound of footsteps could still be heard. It sounded like someone was climbing up the stairs.

As I hurried toward the stairs, the sound of footsteps began to recede, as if I'd turned around and gone downstairs.

"Cough, cough!"

I darted to the head of the stairs, heard only two coughs, and then nothing.

I looked down the stairs, then up, and felt a pang of fear.

Although I didn't see him, I could hear him clearly. The cough came from above. However, this building only had two floors. There was no staircase that led up at all!

Furthermore... Judging by the sound of footsteps coming up and down, the stairs to the second floor on the first floor were concrete, but what I heard was the sound of shoes on iron.

"What's wrong?" Shen Qing rushed over to ask.

I looked at her. "Didn't you hear?"

Shen Qing subconsciously looked down, and turned to ask: "What did you hear?"

I looked into her eyes for a moment, then shook my head.

In the past, I would have thought I was hallucinating, but now I'm skeptical. The footsteps and two coughs were too clear.

On the way back from the Di Family Mansion, I repeatedly asked Dou Dabao and Pan Ying. When we were in the front courtyard of the old house, they indeed did not see the scene I saw in the rain, nor did they hear the conversation between the man and woman.

The truth was that both the Di Family and Di Jinlian had verified that Di Jinlian had indeed been submerged to death in the water vat in the front yard, and was even wearing that green qipao when she died.

At the end of the Hundred Ghost Method, there was indeed a spiritual sense. Moreover, as he interacted with ghosts for a long time, his spiritual sense would gradually increase.

And this spiritual sense of mine seemed to have appeared after the Demon Head Jade was lit up.

Could the footsteps just now have been a guide for his spiritual sense …?

The two of them walked to the east, while slapping their flashlight, they observed every room through the window.

Just as Lin Dong had said, the interior was almost completely emptied, and only some junk like iron shelves were left behind.

He came to the east side of the house. The door was unlocked.

He stood at the door and looked inside. Other than a few old tables, there was an iron shelf in the corner with some information piled up on it.

On the floor next to the shelves, there was a pool of blood that had yet to dry. It must have been where the female overseer had fallen.

Shen Qing held her breath and looked around, she asked me: "Did you see anything?"

"Nope."

I walked over to the iron shelf and looked up and down, feeling suspicious.

There were a few old brochures on the shelves. The highest shelf was only 1.7 meters away from the ground. If you wanted to take something, you could have done it even if you were short, as long as you tiptoed. Why did that female teacher want to climb up there?

"Why did she climb up?" Shen Qing also felt that something was amiss.

I raised my head to look at the ceiling, then looked at the bloodstains on the floor and subconsciously shook my head. "Not only did she climb up, she climbed to the top and fell down. If you crawl halfway and fall down, you will only be able to land on the ground with your back and the back of your head. It is impossible for your neck to be broken. "

"What do we do now?" Shen Qing asked.

"There's nothing we can do. We can only search through the rooms upstairs and downstairs."

I could feel that there was something wrong with the building, but in this room, apart from the fact that the death of the woman in charge of the house was strange, I couldn't see anything out of the ordinary.

The two of them left the room and looked back.

There was nothing unusual in the second room.

As time passed, I couldn't help but feel anxious and was in a hurry to search the next room.

Just as he stepped out of the door, he suddenly heard the sound of footsteps!

This time the footsteps didn't come from the direction of the stairs, but from … It came from the house on the east side!

I ran recklessly to that room, but when I reached the window, I was suddenly stunned.

Everything in the room had changed. How was this even a room? This was simply a staircase.

Two men in dusty clothes stood at the other window, their backs to one side. In each of his hands was a rifle with a bayonet on it.

Looking at the 'donkey ears' hanging from their hats, I almost cried out in surprise.

They were actually two Japanese soldiers!

Where the shelves had been, there was now a staircase welded with iron sheets that led not only downwards, but also upwards.

Even more surprising, a woman in a wine red qipao and black high-heeled shoes was walking up the stairs with her back to me.

Stepping on the iron plate with his high heels …

"Thump …" Thump … "Thump …"
