Song qingxiao followed No. 2 into the house and saw that everyone was surrounding the kitchen door. She thought that they had found a body, but in the end, they only found a pot of rotten food covered with maggots.
17-4 It was a house with two bedrooms and one living room. The decoration and furniture were a little old, but it was obvious that the owner was still trying his best to decorate the house.
The old sofa was intricately covered with a floral cushion by the female lead, and there were a few cute plush accessories placed on it.
The windows in the room were closed and the curtains were half open. Song qingxiao even noticed that there was a cute puppy-shaped lamp in the corner of the living room.
Because of the lack of ventilation, the extremely strong corpse smell was locked in the room and difficult to disperse. The smell was so strong that it stung the skin in the nasal cavity.
What caught song Qing’s attention was that there were a few photo frames in a few conspicuous places in the living room, in which a young man and woman were depicted.
The girl had a sweet appearance. She hugged the man’s neck from behind, and her eyes and eyebrows were smiling like honey.
They should be the couple that the property management Office mentioned. Song qingxiao walked to the TV cabinet, picked up a photo frame, and looked at it carefully for a moment.
The photo frame was embedded with a layer of glass, and it was a little heavy in his hand.
The photo was printed in a 3D simulation, and the facial features of the person were all protruding, which was more real than the original photo on the tablet. Under the light, the corners of the man’s lips curled up slightly. Compared to the girl who didn’t hide her love, he was more restrained.
However, song qingxiao’s eyes fell on the girl’s face. She was smiling brightly. In order to make it look real, her slightly protruding eyes glowed under the light. As she moved the hand holding the photo, the light flickered. It was as if the eyes of the woman in the photo had also moved in that instant.
Perhaps it was because someone had just died in the room, the ‘aura of resentment’ mentioned by number two and the strange black aura from before had affected song qingxiao. When she looked at the photo, miss Chu’s sweet smile in a photo with her lover gave song qingxiao a sense of death and ferocity. It made the hair on her back stand on end, and it stuck to the shirt she was wearing.
She paused and looked at the photo again. She felt that it might be an illusion. It might be the reflection of the light in the room. When she looked at the people in the photo from different angles, she would feel different psychological cues.
Facing the light, song qingxiao tried to change the angle of the photo. This time, she was mentally prepared. No matter which angle she looked at the girl from, she felt that the man in the photo was full of love.
The photo was very clean, and there was no dust in some of the corners. The surrounding wood had been rubbed so that it was unusually smooth. It could be imagined that the owner must have been someone who often held the photo in his hand and observed it.
From what the staff at the property management Office said, the man was often away from home due to work, and miss Chu was the one who lived at home. It could be inferred that the person who often touched the photos was miss Chu.
She loved the photos and often held the photo frame to look at them and think of people. All these were enough to prove that she loved her husband deeply.
The decorations and furniture in the house were quite old, and the house was also old. The couple should not be very well-off.
Song qingxiao turned to look at the window of the living room. The frame of the window was made of white plastic steel. Because of the age, it was slightly yellow. The living room was long and narrow, and the sun could only shine through the old window into one side of the living room, making the entire room not very bright.
Although the lighting in the old house wasn’t very good, the conditions weren’t very good. The people at home probably wouldn’t turn on the lights during the day, so the owner of the house should have been in trouble at night.
Song qingxiao gritted her teeth. A few staff members were looking for clues in the room. No. 2 was standing at the kitchen door, looking at the layout of the living room.
The young guard came out of the kitchen, and song Qing turned around to put the photo frame on the TV cabinet. Before she could straighten up, her sharp ears caught a ‘tick-tock’ sound.
The sound was like the sound of water droplets splashing on the ground. It seemed to be coming from the direction of the bathroom.
She straightened her body and turned to look in the direction of the bathroom. The young guard who had come out of the kitchen earlier was already walking in the direction of the bathroom. He grabbed the door handle and pushed the door open.
A stench that was thousands of times stronger than the previous smell spread out from the bathroom. The young guard who opened the door did not expect this at all and was the first to be attacked by the stench. Even with a thick mask, he could not help but hold onto the door frame and cover his mask with his hand. He made a dry vomiting sound.
Most of the guards who could enter the room were experienced, but the loud noise this guard made immediately attracted the attention of the guards who were checking other places.
Song qingxiao could not help but swallow a mouthful of sour water when she smelled it. She felt her chest churning.
The smell was even stronger than the rotten crocodile she had found in the trial scenario. The smell had been fermenting in the small space for a few days. The smell spread out as soon as the lid was opened. The smell was everywhere. Even if song qingxiao held her breath, the smell seemed to enter her body through her pores, making her feel nauseated.
“Cap- Captain…”
The young guard shouted with difficulty. By the time he opened his mouth, song qingxiao had already strode toward the washroom.
She was fast, but No. 2 was a little faster. She was still one step away from the bathroom door, but No. 2 was already standing at the door. He pulled the young guard who was leaning against the door back and stood by the door himself. He then pushed the half-open door open.
The glass door of the bathroom hit the wall, making a crisp sound. The door bounced back a bit, shaking.
The guard stumbled and was caught by song qingxiao, who came after him, before he managed to stand up.
There was still fear in his eyes. Before he could thank song qingxiao, he said,”
“This place…”
Song qingxiao took a step forward. Number two sensed her approach, but he had no intention of letting her go.
Through the gap beside No. 2, the glass door bounced back and slowly folded back, revealing the inside of the bathroom.
The bathroom wasn’t big, about three or four square meters. There was a light above the head, and a transparent glass separated the dry and wet areas in the middle.
The originally clear glass had a long black mark from top to bottom, and long, curly black hair of various sizes stuck to it like wriggling worms.
In the middle of the hair, a swollen green face was firmly pressed against the glass. A pair of dead gray eyes stared coldly at the person who had broken into the bathroom..
