apartment

The young man went to the apartment anyway, he moved into the second floor, the room was arranged more to his liking, and there was no need for major renovations.

The resident on the fourth floor disappeared for a while and came back. Besides, the apartment was too quiet, as if there were no other people, so the young man decided to start with the resident on the fourth floor.

The young man hated staring eyes, and hated exposing himself naked to others, so he still put on big black-rimmed glasses that covered half of his face, and put the hood of the hoodie on his head.

He rang the only room on the fourth floor, and the young man in the room was only stunned for a moment before welcoming him in enthusiastically.

Gu Xiuran glanced at the young man opposite. He was wearing exaggeratedly large black-rimmed glasses, and he did not put down his hat when he entered the room. In fact, it is not impossible to see his appearance clearly at such a close distance, but Gu Xiuran was a little embarrassed to stare at him. Watching people.

Gu Xiuran handed the young man a can of lemonade, and the young man froze for a moment and said thank you.

"Did you just move here?" Gu Xiuran also opened a can of lemonade and casually asked the young man sitting opposite.

The young man nodded: "Actually, I'm a private detective. I was entrusted to help find a long-lost friend, but I didn't have a clue. I haven't seen anyone except you for a few days."

Gu Xiuran nodded knowingly, and said, "I've been here for a long time, and I haven't seen anyone except one or two people. No one lives on the first floor, and a masochist lives on the second floor, but I haven't seen you for a long time. , there is a father and son living on the third floor, and I haven’t seen them in the past few days.” He looked up and looked at the young man on the opposite side, and found that he was listening seriously, and continued, “I’m the only one on the fourth floor, but I It's definitely not the person you're looking for, haha, I don't have long-lost friends, there's an old couple living upstairs, but I've never seen them before, and I don't know if it's above."

The young man pushed his glasses and asked a little puzzled: "You haven't seen the people upstairs, how do you know they are an old couple?"

Gu Xiuran's mind went blank for a second, and he replied in a daze, "It must have been said a long time ago," as if he was not sure.

The young man didn't bother too much, he thanked him and left. Gu Xiuran sent him to the door and said that he would help him keep an eye on other people in the apartment, and closed the door while talking.

His mind went blank for another second, Gu Xiuran patted his head and murmured: Why am I helping him so enthusiastically.

The young man ruled out the masochist who had been killed by him on the second floor, and the father and son on the third floor, one had been killed by an unknown person, and the other was a child.It seems that the biggest suspect is the old couple?Or who else lived above them?

etc!The person on the fourth floor is also quite strange!Why did I exclude him directly?He knew it was an old couple before he had ever met anyone upstairs, and his expression was not natural when he explained it, but he actually had an inexplicable trust in him...

Thinking of this, the young man decided to visit the old couple on the fifth floor first.Putting on the black-rimmed glasses he had just taken off again, the young man closed the door and went up to the fifth floor.

When we reached the fifth floor, we found that the door was open, and the young man went in without knocking.

In the living room stood two elderly men with gray hair and stooped stature.The two of them had good ears, or they were very alert, and turned their heads as soon as they heard footsteps.

The old woman looked behind the young man, raised her fingers tremblingly, and couldn't speak clearly, "You...it's you..."

The young man turned his head to make sure there was no one behind him, and when he turned around, he took off his hat. He had already made sure that the two old men were haunted, and he had no intention of letting them go.

Seeing his face, the old man was suddenly out of breath and fell to the ground without saying a word. The old woman was still yelling frantically that her death was coming, and she couldn't run away, so she also fainted on the ground.

After a while, the young man made sure they were out of breath before coming out of the room, closed the door, and took out the phone.

In less than a minute, the young man put down the phone in surprise.

The Pretender... isn't dead yet? !

But this elderly couple is the same as the mission target he killed before!

No, why are they the same as the previous task targets?

The more the young man thought about it, the more his head hurt, and his mind became muddled. Finally, he gave up and planned to go home and rest.
