Physical persuasion, scientific transcendence [unlimited]

Just as he was talking, there was a sudden familiar sound of footsteps upstairs, and it seemed very real and clear.

Wen Youning turned her head subconsciously.

Sure enough, the door of the group rental house was open!

When they first came in, they didn't close the door of the group rented room on the third floor, so the voice from the corridor was so clear.

Wen Youning immediately pressed his voice to remind the three people on the third floor: "It's the landlord's footsteps."

The faces of the three of them suddenly panicked, and in front of the four of Wen Youning, they were so anxious that they turned around like ants on a hot pot.

One of the yellow hair clasped his hands together and shouted eagerly: "What should I do?"

The other skinny man said decisively: "We're going to scam money from microfinance right now—no, borrow money!"

The guy with fish scales was even more frightened, he still remembered what Wen Youning said just now.

"We can't let the landlord come in, and we can't let her see the traces of the dead. What if she wants to call the police and drive us out?"

Wen Youning also spoke quickly, and suggested: "Go straight out, close the door, don't meet her face to face, it's best to let the landlord see the back of you rushing out, let her realize that you have gone out, and then you can pay the rent later." Come back and find her directly."

The three people who were at a loss felt that it made sense when they heard it.

Because of what happened last night, they are now also full of fear for the NPC in this live broadcast scene.

In the next moment, the three of them rushed out the door in a hurry.

The landlord had already come down from the fourth floor, and immediately walked to the door on the third floor. When he saw someone rushing out, he naturally wanted to stop them.

"Huh? Wait a minute, the rent—"

The three people on the third floor who were called out naturally didn't look back, they closed the door with a "bang" and ran downstairs sullenly.

The landlord was not so angry at first, and immediately shouted angrily: "Stop, everyone, why are you running away!"

The four of Wen Youning remained in the group rented room on the third floor, through the door panel, they could still hear the landlord's angry roar clearly.

However, at this time, naturally no one would pay attention to her.

Soon, the landlord stood outside and yelled twice, then turned around and went upstairs angrily.

Wen Youning and the others who were still in the group rented room on the third floor couldn't help but look at each other after hearing the sound of "dongdong" footsteps getting farther and farther away.

Zhao Min hesitated and whispered to Wen Youning, "Did you send those three guys away on purpose?"

Song Lingdi continued, "Are we going to take this opportunity to search for clues on the third floor?"

Wen Youning nodded, and said honestly: "Actually, even if the three of them are here, if we propose to collect clues together, they will agree."

The three of them just now could see that they were all ordinary people, not very courageous, and didn't have much thought.

At first, the three of them must have been somewhat wary of Ji Yuhuai and the others, but at a critical moment, living people like Wen Youning and the others are at least much safer than those ghosts in the live broadcast scene.

"And..." Wen Youning continued: "Without rent, being kicked out by the landlord is indeed a very dangerous thing. The most fundamental reason for letting them go out first is to avoid the landlord."

While speaking, Wen Youning had already walked to the room where the accident happened last night.

The bed of the deceased was covered with blood and muddy flesh. As he got closer, the more pungent smell of blood made people instinctively sick.

Except for those bloody scenes, Wen Youning carefully checked the other parts of the bed, but did not find any obvious traces.

It stands to reason that the strength needed to crush a person into a flake-shaped meat paste is very large.

It is impossible for such an ordinary bed board to withstand such a force.

Wen Youning: "The injury suffered by the deceased could not have come from when he was lying on the bed normally. Otherwise, the force would have crushed the bed board and the human body together."

The young man nodded, "Indeed, even if you just casually force a person to lie on the bed, the impressions that person can leave are not limited to these."

Song Lingdi: "But we all heard the screams last night, and this person's unexpected situation last night can also be matched."

The young man guessed: "The deceased was brainwashed by that monster's voice, and his body was controlled. Is that the direct cause of his death?"

The bloody and terrifying scenes have a great impact and stimulation on people.

When facing such scenes at close range, some people can judge objectively and calmly, while others are inevitably greatly affected.

Zhao Min happened to be the latter.

Although he was already trying to restrain his feeling of wanting to vomit, his face was still pale when he followed everyone.

However, after observing the surrounding situation, Wen Youning forced himself to shift his gaze to the deceased himself.

After staring carefully and earnestly for a while, an astonishing guess suddenly popped up in his mind, and he said, "In the real world, there are actually such situations that can cause similar deaths."

The young man and Song Lingdi were slightly taken aback.

Zhao Min has never been able to stand this kind of bloody scene, but after hearing Wen Youning's words, his face became even paler, but he was the first to react, and almost cried out: "I see, it was a car accident !"

Young man: "Scenes of traffic accidents are generally not so scary..."

Wen Youning reminded softly: "Ordinary car collisions, generally speaking, even if there are casualties, it will not be so scary. However, if it is a seriously overloaded earth-moving truck, what's more, the cargo on the truck is not sand. Or stones, but heavy metals with a higher density, then once this kind of vehicle rolls over, the weight of the body and the cargo is enough to crush an ordinary person into a pulp."

The most frightening thing is that this kind of horrific traffic accident is actually not uncommon.

As soon as Wen Youning said these words, almost all the four people present could vaguely have an approximate catastrophic horror scene in their minds.

Looking at the current state of the dead body lying on the bed, it is almost exactly the same as the scene of a car accident caused by an earthmoving truck...

Zhao Min directly covered his mouth, and couldn't help retching a few times, his face was so pale that there was no blood left.

Song Lingdi's face was also a little pale, and she was trying to keep her voice steady, but she still trembled slightly because of the shock, "But why is it that he is dying on the bed in the group rental house? Rolled over by an earth-moving truck?"

Wen Youning shook his head, he couldn't figure out the reason for this problem for a while.

However, he thought of another piece of information that was somewhat related to this death, and simply reminded him: "In principle, many main roads in the city center are completely safe during the day when there are many vehicles and pedestrians. Vehicles such as earth-moving trucks and dump trucks are not allowed to drive. The time period when transport vehicles can drive is generally after ten o'clock in the evening and before five o'clock in the morning."

Zhao Min: "So, the death of this person did happen at night."

The young man suddenly thought of something, "In the group rented house on the second floor, the man whose family of three lived together, I saw that there seemed to be a lot of sand on his clothes, did he work on the construction site? "

Song Lingdi also immediately lifted his spirits, "People on the construction site should see more construction vehicles such as earthmoving trucks and dump trucks, right? Perhaps, we can ask him if he knows that similar incidents have happened recently. traffic accident."

Zhao Min was stunned for a moment, and murmured: "If you say this, it may not be a traffic accident, but it may also be a safety accident on a construction site... Moreover, most of the people who live in groups and rent houses are from the bottom of society. Working on a construction site is indeed more likely to encounter such safety hazards..."

Hearing this sentence, a flash of light suddenly flashed in Wen Youning's mind.

After catching the flash of inspiration, Wen Youning briefly organized his thoughts, and said in a low voice: "Is it possible that the original 'identity' of the deceased was actually a worker on the construction site."

Reminiscent of Song Lingdi, who is now able to clarify his "identity", and the person with fish scales, the young man couldn't help reaching out to help the sunglasses on the bridge of his nose, "You mean, the death crisis we may encounter, and' Identity' related?"

Wen Youning nodded, "But it's just a guess right now, there are too few clues."

Song Lingdi struggled for a while, but because the "identity" she got was too embarrassing, she held back and said nothing.

Otherwise, she actually wanted to ask what kind of death crisis she might encounter...

On the other hand, the man with fish scales on his body on the third floor seemed to be a laborer working for the fish sellers in the vegetable market.

Song Lingdi asked softly: "What is the danger of death that fishmongers may face?"

The young man immediately replied: "When you were scraping the scales of the fish, you accidentally stabbed yourself with a knife?"

The corner of Song Lingdi's mouth twitched, "It's just scraping the scales of the fish, but if you scratch your arm and hand, it will be as good as the sky, right?"

The young man shook his head and tried to explain with gestures: "That kind of big live fish, when it is just fished out of the water, even if the fish is cleaned up, the muscles and nerves are not completely dead, and the tail is very strong. If it's a coincidence, it's entirely possible for something to happen."

Song Lingdi thought about it, but was convinced.

Wen Youning glanced at the young man who couldn't see his face clearly, and added for him: "It can also be a conflict between vendors in the vegetable market, a conflict with customers before, or poisonous jellyfish in sea fish. Anything is possible.”

At this moment, the landlord's familiar heavy footsteps came from outside the door again.

And, the distance is already very close.

Wen Youning and the others were taken aback for a moment, and quickly exchanged glances.

Zhao Min and Song Lingdi also showed anxious expressions, and their voices were very low, almost breathlessly said: "Why is the landlord here again?"

Wen Youning shook his head slightly, and said softly, "It's okay, don't panic."

While speaking, they had already retreated from the bloody room immediately.

Wen Youning did not forget to reach out and close the door of the back room.

The next moment, the familiar key was inserted into the keyhole, turned roughly, and the sound of unlocking the lock sounded.

The landlord with the key in his hand was still dressed exactly the same as yesterday.

There was still a little anger in the landlord's eyes, but fortunately, this anger didn't seem to be directed at Wen Youning and the others.

What's more, she didn't seem to care at all about the fact that Wen Youning, who rented the second floor, appeared on the third floor together. She just asked, panting heavily, "Where are those people?"

Wen Youning replied calmly: "I just went out. They said that it's time to pay the rent. I went out early this morning to get the money."

Hearing about paying the rent, the landlord's anger seemed to subside in an instant.

There was even a little smile on her face, "Oh, no wonder they were in such a hurry to leave the house just now, they didn't even say hello. Hey, you just need to pay the rent. You are all renters of my house, and you all know that I People are always negotiable."

Wen Youning just followed the landlord's wishes and said with a smile: "Of course..."

However, after the angry landlord calmed down, he had no intention of leaving. He had the intention of waiting here for the tenants to come back and pay the money.

Moreover, even if Wen Youning had closed the door just now, the door panel of the bedroom could not block the strong smell of blood in the room.

The landlord happily chatted with Wen Youning for a few words, and then couldn't help but look towards the direction of the inner room whore.

After a while, he got up directly and walked over.

Zhao Minren was also sincere, and subconsciously wanted to stop him, but was directly pulled by Wen Youning gently, directly blocking his movements.

Wen Youning shook his head calmly.

Blocking the landlord may have consequences, and they don't need to take this risk.

Sure enough, the landlord who smelled blood had already pushed open the door of the bedroom. Seeing the crushed bones and flesh of the deceased on the bed inside, and a large pool of blood on the ground, the landlord screamed instantly.

However, there was no panic in that scream, but extremely raging anger.

The landlord screamed in anger: "Dirty my house! He has to pay for it!"

Wen Youning frowned.

After hearing the landlord's words, the faces of Song Lingdi and Zhao Min were blank for a moment.

They were extremely worried that after seeing the dead, the landlord would panic, scream, call the police, and even be directly stimulated into a monster.

However, it never occurred to him that seeing such a horrific scene, the landlord's reaction would be that his house was soiled by the tenant.

Wen Youning carefully looked at the landlord's condition.

After realizing that although she was angry, she was clear-headed and did not lose her mind like last night, she opened her mouth intentionally or unintentionally, and reminded in a low voice: "But everyone is dead, so we can't pay for it..."

After a pause, he added, "If someone is dead, he may have to do a funeral."

The landlord screamed and interrupted his words, "How can anyone hold a funeral in someone else's house! At that time, how can I rent my house to others? It's not allowed!"

While screaming fiercely, she turned around in a hurry.

Wen Youning has been carefully observing the landlord's actions, and a new idea gradually sprouted in his heart.

The landlord's weakness, it seems, is the house.

Thinking of this, Wen Youning directly reminded the landlord, "Don't be so loud, be careful not to be discovered."

The landlord immediately seemed like a duck with its neck strangled, and the screams of anger stopped abruptly.

Wen Youning even offered advice to the landlord in a very considerate way: "They are all in the same group, you can just ask the three of them to pay for it later, but you can't ask the housekeeper to come and clean it up, otherwise the news will leak out. It’s not easy to rent out the house.”

The landlord nodded again and again: "Yes, you are right."

The young man, Song Lingdi and Zhao Min already had numb expressions on their faces.

Wen Youning's ability to talk to anyone casually, to become the backbone of others in a matter of minutes, and to directly lead people's thinking astray is really embarrassing.

Wen Youning was persuasive: "If you hire a housekeeper to clean up this place, it will cost at least 500 yuan, but you can't hire outsiders for this matter, you still have to let them clean it up by themselves."

Anyway, the money was paid out with the help of usury, so it would be easier to solve the problem if it was related to the money.

The landlord's voice became sharper, and he repeated along Wen Youning's train of thought: "Yes, they belong to the same group, and they have to pay for it! At least 500 yuan, if they don't pay, the three of them have to return this house immediately. Clean it up for me, if there is a little dirt, I can't spare them!"
