"…………"

Xie Xingyin's leaning movement froze, and he stared into the eyes on the wall for a few seconds.

No wonder it can't be pushed.

"what is that!"

People who poked their heads behind to join in the fun also saw clearly what was behind the wall and screamed in surprise.

The hole in the wall was at a height slightly above Xie Xingyin's waist. He could imagine the posture of the person inside. It might be squatting or lying down, but it was definitely not standing properly.

It quite fits the description of a human-faced dog.

However, Xie Xingyin quickly rejected this idea.

He noticed that the pupils of the eyes on the wall were blurry and gray, and in a moment, the eyelids were completely ulcerated - they obviously belonged to a dead person.

"It's okay, keep digging. It's just a dead man." Xie Xingyin said.

"What do you mean he's just a dead man?" Brother Biao seemed to be timid. Although he had gotten into trouble a lot since childhood, he had never done anything that caused death. Unexpectedly, he encountered one after another the first time he entered the tower.

When it comes to these deadly things, "How about you stop tearing down the wall first? Who knows if these are zombies?"

Xie Xingyin actually checked it and followed his words: "It doesn't have hair, it's not a zombie."

He tried to clean the surrounding wall tiles and made a hole big enough for a person to bend through.

The true identity of the corpse inside the wall was also revealed. It was a somewhat seasoned female corpse, wearing ordinary home clothes, with gray and blue skin.

She seems to be the hostess of this house.

Others covered their noses with clothes and dragged the female body out from the wall.

After seeing the appearance of the female corpse clearly, Brother Biao let out a timid "hiss". "My, my God——"

"What, is this your mother?" Lao Liang came over and took a look curiously, but was slapped back in anger.

Xie Xingyin turned on the portable flashlight he found in the closet and observed the layout of the room through the hole in the wall. Hearing the sound of an argument, he turned back to look.

The female body was laid flat on the ground, and several young girls had already hid far away, covering their mouths with their sleeves as if they were about to vomit.

After careful inspection, everyone discovered that there was something abnormal about the female corpse - her hands and feet were cut off at the wrist, exposing the dense white bones. Without her palms and soles, she could not walk upright, so she could only use her forearms and calves to cling to her body like a dog.

Land on the ground and crawl on your forearms and knees.

The room behind them was dark and quiet.

Xie Xingyin stood at the door and shined a flashlight around for a while. People outside heard him say "ah".

"There's more than one."

Xie Xingyin took a look around and found nothing unusual, so he took the lead and ducked in. Jia Ming followed him in.

The room was covered with thick dust, and the dry air was filled with a faint stale smell. The gray-green curtains were tightly drawn, and no light could penetrate the entire room, making it dark and gloomy.

"Look." Xie Xingyin shined the light at the door and motioned him to look over there. The entire wall at the door was covered with bricks, forming a solid cement brick wall. They were there just now

Breaking through that brick wall.

In the corner next to the concrete wall, there sat a slightly smaller corpse. The skin was green and gray, and only the whites of the eyes were left in the eye sockets. The head was hanging crookedly in a posture that is impossible for a living person to do. It was also gone.

It was completely dead. Like the female corpse, the places where the hands and feet should have been were empty, as if they had been neatly cut off by something.

There were some food packaging bags and empty cans scattered in the corner of the room, but there was no food at all.

"Didn't you say that all the residents of Wangchuan Apartment have moved out?" Xie Xingyin frowned. Obviously, the two disfigured corpses in the house were most likely trapped in the wall and starved to death.

They covered their mouths and noses with their sleeves to prevent themselves from choking on the flying dust, and then began searching the room.

The light in the room was very dark. Xie Xingyin found that the ceiling light was broken, so he went to open the curtains.

But when the dusty curtains were opened, what was revealed was not the glass window as imagined - it was actually a window that had been sealed by a cement brick, with half an unclear ink printed on the cement brick.

Bloody handprint.

Xie Xingyin looked at it silently for a moment and then closed the curtains again.

No wonder there was no light in the room. The doors and windows were sealed very simply and crudely. The murderer didn't even need to use any secret room killing techniques in detective novels. He only had to wait for the people inside to starve to death after running out of water and water.

The method is quite cruel.

The two corpses, one large and one small, dead against the wall in the room should be the mother and son who lived in this apartment. There were no obvious wounds or bloodstains on the bodies, and there were no obvious signs of struggle. They were lying on the ground before they died.

Beside the wall, he looked emaciated and out of shape. He was too weak to stand, but he still opened his eyes wide and clawed at the wall bricks, trying to escape.

While Jia Ming went into the bathroom, Xie Xingyin quietly took out the lens from his pocket and looked around. The room was very clean and no blood was seen.

Nothing was found in the bathroom. Brother Biao ran in shaking and swishing to share the clues he had obtained with Xie Xingyin. "We found a dead mobile phone in the pocket of the female corpse."

Xie Xingyin took the mobile phone he handed over. It was an old-fashioned push-button mobile phone, which has not been seen on the market in recent years.

This made their brows even more gloomy.

"Is it really so easy for an adult woman with a child and a mobile phone to be trapped to death?"

If nothing else, wouldn't any neighbor notice that they were missing?

"I think so too." Jia Ming came out of the bathroom at some point and praised, "This doesn't look like simple man-made revenge."

"Let's break open the other rooms and have a look." Xie Xingyin said.

Brother Biao quickly went out. The remaining two people rummaged around the room carefully and found no daily necessities. There were some clothes in the big closet, but they didn't dare to wear the clothes of a dead person.

Xie Xingyin noticed that there were several pairs of shoes neatly placed in the shoe cabinet, which belonged to the mother and son.

Obviously, they were not without limbs from the beginning. What happened to them before they died?

They searched around but still had no clue.

The only thing of value was a diary found beside the bed, which seemed to have been written by the mistress in a state of madness.

"I heard that the little freak who lived on the eleventh floor died last night. He died well. Chengcheng was so frightened by her that she cried all night long."

"Another child disappeared in the apartment. When I went upstairs today, I saw Mr. Noda from the Wangchuan Detective Agency. What happened? This is already the fifth one."

"I've been under too much stress lately and I've been suffering from insomnia. I hear something scratching at my door every night. I'll see a psychiatrist in a few days."

"She's back, she's really back... I saw her... Will she take revenge on us..."

"Can't get out, can't get out...Help! Let us out quickly!! We are not monsters! We are not monsters!!!"

At the end of the writing, the handwriting was so frantic that it almost flew off the page, as if it was written in a state of extreme mental breakdown. But one day, the recording in the diary stopped abruptly.

The owner of the diary lost his hands and could no longer record.

Xie Xingyin looked at the child's body lying in the corner and sighed.

"Tsk, what a deep hatred." Xie Xingyin sighed.

The light in the room was very dark. He put the diary in his bag and planned to read it again when he went out.

The little boy's body is probably the woman's son Chengcheng.

They must have been sealed in the room. They desperately clawed at the wall to get out, but they had no hands or feet and couldn't even throw objects at the wall.

Xiao Lu didn't know when he came in. He squatted by the wall and stared at the corpse on the ground. Xie Xingyin covered his eyes with his hands and took him out.

They followed the same pattern and smashed open the two adjacent rooms. The conditions inside the rooms were basically the same, and they died next to the door blocked by the brick wall. In addition to the mother and son, there were more single residents in the apartment, and they were trapped alive alone.

I don't know how desperate I was when I died.

This is not the kind of wall built to suppress evil that Lao Liang mentioned. The residents in Wangchuan Apartment have not moved out, they are all sealed inside alive.

No wonder no one can help, because everyone in this apartment is trapped.

Thinking of these being separated by a wall, the mink coat supported her husband and retched violently.

Jia Ming seemed a little frustrated: "When is the end? There are at least six to seven hundred rooms here. Knock on a hundred brick walls a day. Knock on one by one to see if there is a human-faced dog inside?"

"The human-faced dog may not be in the room," Xie Xingyin said.

He had been picking locks and smashing walls all morning, which was a lot of physical exertion. Brother Biao had already taken off his coat and was only wearing an undershirt. He raised his hand to wipe the sweat from his forehead and said, "I'm so tired. Let's take a rest."

Xie Xingyin looked out the window: "Okay, let's take a rest first and we'll talk about other things in the afternoon."

Everyone was squatting in the corridor eating instant noodles. It was really not a pleasant thing to eat instant noodles in front of a female corpse, so Brother Biao asked his younger brother to take it back to its original room.

Xie Xingyin walked to the window alone and looked downstairs.

Outside is the commercial street called Wangchuan Road. It's still dark, and there are no pedestrians on the road. Not far away, there are dense mountains blocking the view, making it difficult to see clearly even further away.

"Let's go upstairs and have a look in the afternoon." After finishing the meal, Xie Xingyin put away the bucket of instant noodles. "I want to take a look at the room of the female reporter who discovered the human-faced dog."

After lunch, Xie Xingyin took the information from Jia Ming.

The clues in the folder given by the old man are very complicated. In addition to the real valid information, there is also a lot of useless interference information that they need to distinguish by themselves.

Looking at the thick stack of A4 paper in front of him, Xie Xingyin's eyes were involuntarily attracted to a picture.

The information actually included a bloody picture of Keiko's suicide scene. He subconsciously thought that there must be some important clues in this picture.

Xie Xingyin stared at the photo carefully. In the photo, only half of Keiko's body was photographed, from the crotch to the neck. The face was not shown. Keiko was wearing a very ordinary plaid skirt. She cut her wrist and was bleeding.

All over the floor.
