Born in the dark, Ended in the dawn

Old man Liu and Tang Li, who were already waiting outside the door, walked into other people's homes without politeness, and the girl stared at them dumbfounded.

Tang Li smiled and pulled the girl to her side, pressed close to the girl's ear, pointed at Wei Lan who was rummaging through boxes and boxes, and whispered, "Do you like him?"

"Huh?" The girl shook her head blankly, "No, I don't know him after all, I just thought he was handsome, so I took a sneak shot of him unconsciously."

"That's right, I also think he's handsome." Tang Li pulled the girl affectionately, not disturbing the two people who were doing the survey, "We didn't know each other at all before, just because we met on the road. I was hit by a truck when I was a total stranger, although I don’t know why he was safe and sound, maybe it’s because there are gods protecting kind people in the dark.”

The girl didn't quite understand why the elegant young woman beside her said these words to herself, but there was imperceptible sadness in these words. She wanted to ask, but felt that she didn't have such a position, so she finally didn't open her mouth.

Only she can understand Tang Li's mood. Ever since she entered this building, she has felt an indescribable sense of uneasiness. The atmosphere here is inexplicably familiar. This familiarity has also been felt in Wei Lan, although it is very weak.What kind of debt is it?So many people will be involved in it, and where did it all start?

"Wei Lan." Xiao Zixian's voice startled several people, searching quietly, thinking quietly, no one noticed when Xiao Zixian came in, "Uncle Liu, you are here."

Old man Liu was fiddling with the compass, and said to Xiao Zixian without raising his head, "Today is the last time to help you. The favor I owed you back then should be paid off."

"I said you don't have to pay it back." Xiao Zixian was telling the truth.

That was a long, long time ago. When Xiao Zixian was still in the police academy, old man Liu was still a well-known Feng Shui master.I thought I was lucky to get a big business, but when I was looking at Feng Shui, I found a dead person buried in the yard of the master's house, so I called the police on my own initiative, but I didn't know that the master's family would bite me back.

That business was a conspiracy from the beginning to the end. The time difference between the time the person was invited to the villa and the time the deceased arrived was no more than two hours. .

There was no way to argue, and on the day he was about to be sentenced, a young man named Xiao Zixian appeared in the detention center and participated in the interrogation of that case in the name of a recommended student.

Xiao Zixian questioned the entire interrogation process of the case, and re-examined the evidence. His meticulous thinking unearthed many doubtful points in the testimony, and he even relied on deterrence and clever word games to induce the master to reveal the truth.

They both understand each other, it can be regarded as a fate, there is no deliberate help.Xiao Zixian just happened to be recommended to participate in solving the case, and old man Liu just happened to meet Xiao Zixian by chance.

There is really no need to repay the favor, but old man Liu knows in his heart that if he meets a mediocre person who follows the crowd, cannot withstand the pressure of others' speech and makes a hasty decision, he is dead standing here now.

"What should be repaid is still to be repaid, it's all fate." Old man Liu stopped and stood beside the bed in the bedroom, "It's near here, the resentment is so high, it's strange, if it's an old grudge, this building will be destroyed sooner or later." It's time to respond, why did it take nearly two years before it suddenly appeared to make trouble?"

Wei Lan ran over and pushed the bed aside without saying a word, "I'm also surprised, it wasn't like this before, but after destroying Zhou Yubin's secret path, it suddenly became like this here, I doubt what we can do What was done was released."

"Secret passage?" Old man Liu brushed his beard, "What happened in the secret passage?"

"In the beginning, a lot of drowned ghosts came out, and then those drowned ghosts attached to a pile of skeletons and attacked us, and finally were...by..." After thinking for a long time, Wei Lan didn't know how to describe the old man. Guo’s identity, in the end, he had to say, “He was rescued by a person who knew a little bit of Taoism. The identity of those bones has not been ascertained until now, and such a large number of missing persons reports cannot be found. The ghosts of those drowned ghosts seem to be manipulated by others, and they will harm others collectively with a purpose, and Sister Li is one of the victims."

Old man Liu stood firmly at the place with the strongest resentment, staring at the floor, "You released those things, and those things returned to this building?"

"I think so. The drowned ghosts I saw in the underground garage are the same as the ones I saw in the secret passage before, but they seem to be no longer controlled by people." Wei Lan carried the tools found in the room box, stood not far away and asked, "Do you need to remove the floor?"

"Demolition." Old man Liu took two steps away, watching Wei Lan and Xiao Zixian start to do hard work, and couldn't help but fell into deep thought.If, as Wei Lan said, those ghosts are no longer bound and come back here, there is no doubt that they have some obsession with this place. Ghosts have no thoughts, and their existence is close to that obsession. Maybe this is the place where they died in the first place.

People in extreme panic and despair seemed to be able to ignore any changes in their surroundings. The floor was demolished in time, and the loud noise of smashing the ground failed to attract the attention of the residents in the building.This made it easier for the police to operate without worrying about causing further panic.

The scene in front of her was quite horrifying. Tang Li wisely drove the girl home to rest. Fortunately, such an ordinary person was not allowed to see such a scene.This is a coffin inlaid in the floor, and it has even been specially waterproofed to prevent the penetration of corpse water. The corpse has long since decayed, leaving only a yellow skeleton, still wearing a shirt and trousers, lying upright on the coffin. Inside.

"This is definitely not something that ordinary people can do. They actually hid the corpse in the floor. There is no trace of renovation on the ground. I'm afraid it was buried during the construction process." Without a toolbox, Wei Lan dug out a corpse from the kitchen. Putting the fresh-keeping bag on his hand, he gently turned over the bones.

"One rib was fractured with multiple fractures, the pelvis was broken, the spine was displaced in three places, and the skull was lacerated. It was preliminarily judged that he died of blunt force trauma to the head. It seemed that he had experienced a brutal punching and kicking."

"Buried the corpse during the construction process." Xiao Zixian fumbled for every pocket of the corpse's clothing, "The only person who can do this is the contractor." Unfortunately, there was nothing in the corpse's clothing pockets.

"Who is the contractor?"

"I don't know." Xiao Zixian shook his head, "I do know who the investor is. This real estate was originally bid by Xu's real estate, but at that time Hu Da's father wanted to compete, and he didn't compete with Xu's real estate, so he let it go." Some means to obtain the development rights of this community in the form of investors."

"Huda's father? Is the current mayor's father?" This Wei Lan has heard about it. Huda's father is a high-level official in the Urban Planning Bureau. What about the mayor?"

It seems that a lot of stories happened in this community during the development process, even the thing of burying corpses in the floor was done, this is such a curse that can only be done with such strong hatred.

After a phone call back to the bureau, Building No. [-] of the Muhe Community was once again unavoidably bustling. The bones were carefully taken out and transported away, and the residents were finally released from confinement, but they still needed to be sent to the infectious disease hospital for isolation and treatment.It doesn't matter, Wei Lan's goal has been achieved after all, he just wants to transfer all the residents out for treatment.

"Where's Uncle Liu?" Suddenly finding that old man Liu didn't go downstairs with everyone, Wei Lan asked Tang Li beside her, but Tang Li didn't expect that Tang Li didn't know about it. After the support staff arrived, the building was in a mess, and no one cared to pay attention Where did that slovenly little old man go, "Brother Xiao, have you seen Uncle Liu?"

"Did he not come down?" Xiao Zixian frowned and looked up, with a bad premonition in his heart. Old man Liu seemed to have said before that this is the last time to help him. No matter how you listen to that sentence, it seems to be What to say, "I'll go up and have a look."

"I am coming too!"

Actions are one step faster than words. The two of them also did not choose to take the elevator, but went up the stairs one by one. Sure enough, they found Old Man Liu lying on the ground at the corner of the fourth floor.Old man Liu's hands and feet were cold, his pulse was weak, and he could only breathe out but not in. Wei Lan called the emergency number in a panic.

Old man Liu woke up slowly, stretched out his hand tremblingly and pulled Wei Lan's hand that was on the phone, shook his head weakly, opened and closed his dry lips, and said softly, "Old man...my name is Liu Xiu, delicate... …show."

Wei Lan looked at old man Liu in confusion, not understanding why the other party said such a sentence suddenly. He still didn't stop communicating with the emergency center until he got the address and hung up the phone. He was about to ask old man Liu what he was doing with this. Unexpectedly, old man Liu laughed out first.

"You two good boys, I really like you two..." Old man Liu's voice was intermittent, and he could hear that he was struggling to speak, "My name... was laughed at everywhere I went, and I was arrested and sent to the detention center. ...Those little bastards, while beating me, they laughed at my name...just you two, you two...reacted in the same way, haha, no joke...I..."

"Uncle Liu, take a break, the ambulance will be here soon. We..."

Xiao Zixian held Wei Lan's shoulder with one hand, shook his head to interrupt Wei Lan's words, and turned to Old Man Liu, "Uncle Liu, did you come here suddenly because you knew this would happen today?"

"Hey..." Old man Liu smiled as if he was trying to squeeze the air out of his lungs, "It makes you understand again... You can see everything through, I know my old life is wrong It's grown, and I didn't expect it to be so fast... This grievance is too heavy, my old bones... I really can't bear it, I can't compare to being young."

"So is this going to pay off all the remaining favors at once?"

The sound of gasping was quicker, but old man Liu still wanted to chat with Xiao Zixian inadvertently, there was no pain on his face, but a calm attitude, "Stop...don't come with the old man... This set, I want to talk about it, but I still don’t know it? Hehe...you want me to hold my breath and hang on to this old...old life, and continue to repay your favors, don’t you?"

"I said you don't have to pay it back. It's not because I don't want you to pay it back. It's just that you can't pay it back." Xiao Zixian's voice was as cold as negotiating with a stranger, "Since you want to pay it back, then give it to me." It's clean before you die."

"Tch." The old man Liu squeezed out a disgusted expression, "I knew... you would say that, I... I was prepared, that girl Tang Li... also owed Wei Lan's life Debt, we... the lives of both of us, master and apprentice, are used to repay... to pay back your favors, it's almost enough, let it go... my old..."

The night is so quiet, and the unfinished words are hidden in the night along with the arms that hang down feebly.
