Dazed

"What?" Standing at the entrance of the alley, when night was approaching, Cao Jingxing asked Qi Zheng beside him.

"I have a hunch that Siyue has definitely come to see Zhou Xianlei, and what her daughter saw was Siyue." Qi Zheng's innate instinct similar to animal nature surfaced again, and he always felt that the room opposite was very strange. Something is wrong.

Cao Jingxing was thoughtful, and didn't say anything for a while, but carefully looked at the old house that seemed to be crumbling in the cold wind and snow, and was also thinking about what happened that night.

Qi Zheng beside him made a quick decision and made up his mind: "Let's go to Zhou Xianlei first."

Cao Jingxing naturally had no objection, he just breathed calmly, thought about his ideas, and said slowly: "It is illegal to break into a private house, if found out, maybe it will scare the snake."

"At least go and have a look now." Qi Zheng pulled up the scarf again, revealing a pair of bloody eyes, full of determination, and said: "Anyway, no matter what happens to Siyue, I have to find her."

Cao Jingxing raised his eyebrows, looked at Qi Zheng's eagerness to rush up, smiled, and said, "Okay, I'll accompany you."

"It's not convenient to talk here, let's go to another place." Qi Zheng looked around and said softly.

Cao Jingxing nodded, and the two of them understood as soon as their eyes met. They pulled up the scarf again to cover themselves, turned around, and walked towards Zhou Xianlei's house in the opposite direction.

"If you want to go in, you have to wait for Zhou Xianlei to leave home, but he usually doesn't leave the house without leaving the house, and he doesn't even need to buy groceries."

"So powerful, he can grow his own vegetables." This old man, a normal person who always stays in his own home, needs to socialize, so looking at Zhou Xianlei, he usually has a chilly look.

Qi Zheng frowned and said, "Then do we have to wait until he falls asleep before going to visit at night?"

Cao Jingxing raised his eyebrows, had an idea in his mind, and said meaningfully: "Now it is estimated that he can only be asked by the police to let him leave for a while."

"What do you mean?" Qi Zheng looked at Cao Jingxing.

Cao Jingxing said: "It's not the first time I've done anonymous reporting, practice makes perfect."

Qi Zheng hesitated, "You guarantee that the police won't come to the door directly?"

"How about trying it?" Cao Jingxing seemed to have a plan in mind, and replied slowly.

Ten minutes later, the two found a phone booth on the street and dialed 10 for the police. Facing the police's questioning, Cao Jingxing answered the other party's question leisurely, claiming that he was Zhou's neighbor. At five o'clock in the morning, I saw Zhou Xianlei walking out of the house, acting suspiciously.

Half an hour later, Qi Zheng, who was nestled near Zhou Xianlei's house, saw the hunched figure walking out of the house, and immediately looked at Cao Jingxing with admiration, and praised: "Okay, Cao Jingxing."

Cao Jingxing smiled and said nothing, but looked at Zhou Xianlei with deep eyes, and an unbearable evil spirit flowed in his body and blood. If it wasn't for Qi Zheng standing beside him, he really couldn't guarantee that he could hold it back.

The two waited there for a while, predicting that he had gone far, and then quietly walked up.

The night is dignified, the sky tonight is unexpectedly empty and cloudless, the moonlight hangs brightly in the dark night, the moon is shining brightly, and the bright white light shines on the earth, revealing some whereabouts hidden in the darkness, making people feel helpless Hide away.

The one-story house Zhou Xianlei lived in was an old house that was about to be demolished. The whole house was crumbling, with exposed bricks and tiles falling all over the floor. Even the door was rusty and could not be closed.

University teacher is considered a high-paying job, not to mention that Zhou Xianlei still has a "side job", so the money should be quite a lot. Qi Zheng finds it strange that he still lives in such a house, and he thinks the yard is quite strange. When he was looking outside just now, It's normal, but as soon as you step into the house, you feel the Yin Qi surrounding you, and the evil spirit is heavy, obviously it's not a safe place.

This one-story house is built according to a symmetrical structure. There is a patio in the middle, a living room in the middle, and two wing rooms on the left and right sides. They are opposite to each other. It is estimated that there are quite a lot of people living here, but now they have all moved away. The entire yard , only the wing on the left is occupied.

This is not right, Qi Zheng had observed it before coming in, the road outside this house happened to be a bow-shaped road, and Zhou Xianlei's house happened to be in the center of the "bow", it was easy to form a road brake.Probably in order to avoid this, the person who built the house dug out another piece of land in the northeast corner of the house, used it as a small garden and vegetable garden, and built a well to vent the evil spirit.

But this kind of situation can only be used in the past, when the house was full of people, the evil spirit was rushed to the gap in the northeast corner by the Yang Qi, and vented out. Now only the west side of the whole house is left with people, and Zhou Xianlei is an old man , Yang Qi must be very thin, how come this full of evil spirit didn't cause any disaster, it's too strange.

Thinking of this, Qi Zheng felt more and more that something was wrong here. What was even more wrong was that he always had a vague feeling that there was something following him, but the distance was not close. Didn't show it, just a little more defensive.

Cao Jingxing beside him was an old god, because the night was dark, he had just stopped by to buy a flashlight, and a thin beam of light fell on the pitch-black, dilapidated small courtyard surrounded by strong winds, looking very thin.

Passing through the small courtyard, the two came to the front of the two wing rooms where Zhou Xianlei lived. The light from the flashlight shone through the dilapidated building, and there were some wooden railings in the corridor in front. There is only some decayed wood left, and the windows by the corridor are old-fashioned colorful glass windows, with many reinforced wires tied on them, which are already covered with rust and spider silk, and a row of more than ten black plastic bags are tied beside the windows, windy. When you blow it, it bulges up and pops like a balloon.

Qi Zheng and Cao Jing walked forward and stood outside the door of the wing room. The light from the flashlight shone on the door lock. Three locks were firmly locked on the small doorknob, and there were still iron chains wrapped around it. , with a cold breath.

Qi Zheng's heart sank, he couldn't help but wonder what was hidden in the house, "What is there?"

"It must be very important to him." Cao Jingxing said meaningfully.

"See if you can get in through the window." Looking at the lock, Qi Zheng knew that it was impossible to get in without damaging the lock, so he turned his head and walked to the next window to see if there was any way to get in.

Cao Jingxing followed behind him and helped him illuminate.

Qi Zheng tried to push the glass window, but felt a little loose, probably because it was too old, and the locks on the window were broken, so he only used a layer of newspaper to clamp the window to make it close tightly.

With all his strength, Qi Zheng pulled the layer of paper out, and with a bang, the window slammed open, and the wind howled in, rustling the books and paintings in the room.

The noise continued for a moment, Qi Zheng quickly stepped in, followed by Cao Jingxing, and the two of them quickly closed the window as soon as they entered the room. The wind was blocked from the window, and the paintings in the room suddenly became quiet.

Cao Jingxing casually used a flashlight to illuminate the room full of calligraphy works. The walls, ceiling, and even the floor were all covered with dense brush calligraphy stickers. The wind just now had blown away the smell of ink in the room. , but even so, Qi Zheng still finds it very unpleasant, a sour smell, especially with these crooked brush characters, the whole house is covered with densely packed characters, which look like talisman paper, No matter how you look at it, it looks gloomy.

"The old man is in a daze this week, isn't he?" Qi Zheng knew that he was obsessed with calligraphy, but he didn't expect him to be so paranoid.

Cao Jingxing didn't reply, he held up the flashlight to shine on a work on the wall, the white light slowly swept across the regular and full regular script on it, as if he had known him before.

Qi Zheng was attracted by his actions, looked up at the copybook on the wall, recognized it almost at a glance, and said, "I gave this one to him." Qi Zheng still remembers the inexplicable power that day From this point of view, the copybooks pasted in this room are probably not ordinary paper.

What is Zhou Xianlei doing?Qi Zheng was full of inexplicable feelings.

Of course Cao Jingxing also knew about this, it was not long after he saw Qi Zheng again, he borrowed his hands to do something, thinking of this, Cao Jingxing's eyes flashed an intriguing taste, he smiled without saying a word.
