Chapter 51: Abandoned (Repair)

 Gu Mian remembered the woman the landlord was talking about. She had opened the door when he and Qing Huan came to investigate yesterday.

But yesterday, half of her face was hidden behind the door, so the two of them didn't notice anything unusual on her face.

The disfigured woman was right across the street, and they were only a few steps away.

Gu Mian stood at the door and knocked. Before long, there was a sound of footsteps inside the door, and then the door in front of her opened with a creak.

A face peeked out from behind the door and looked at them.

Yu Wenhao took a deep breath when he saw this face. It was a very indescribable face.

Half of them are normal, while the other half are extremely ugly.

The burned half of the face was completely drooped, and the skin was as loose and rough as that of an eighty or ninety-year-old man, and as dirty as if it couldn't be washed clean.

This face is very inconsistent. One eye and one corner of the mouth are drooped, and the facial features are completely asymmetrical.

The woman seemed to have heard the noise from the landlord and guessed that they would come. Without asking, she just opened the door and took a step back: "Come in first."

Gu Mian was not polite and walked in.

The other three people followed closely.

The house is not big. As soon as you enter the door, you are greeted by a somewhat spooky living room. There is a shrine in the corner of the living room, which enshrines a god that Gu Mian cannot name. It looks a bit evil.

Next to the shrine was a row of old sofas, and Gu Mian sat down.

The woman didn't mean to greet them, but went directly to the topic: "You came to me about Zhong Min?"

This should be the name of the woman who was burned to death.

The landlord never dared to mention her name from beginning to end, but the disfigured woman said it without any scruples.

She was so happy that Gu Mian couldn't beat around the bush. He nodded: "My friends were entangled with some dirty things. I investigated and investigated and finally found this woman. I heard from the landlord that you were nearby when she died.

."

The woman nodded numbly: "I am nearby, but I advise you not to have anything to do with this woman. She is... very vindictive. If you are targeted by her, you will die anyway."

"You knew her well when she was alive?"

The woman was silent for a moment: "No... I don't know her."

Yu Wenhao's face looked wrong: "Then why do you seem to be very familiar with her?"

The woman lowered her head slightly and stopped talking.

"Since you don't want to talk about this, let's change the question." Gu Mian said: "I learned from the landlord that you were not very close to the source of the fire on the night of the fire. You should be able to run out when you discover the fire, but

You didn't."

The faces of Yu Wenhao, Yu Wenhao and the other two people all looked slightly strange. They looked at the woman in front of them who had half her face ruined.

"At that time...I fell asleep."

"Then when did you wake up?"

"...I heard Zhong Min's cry. She locked herself in a small warehouse inside, which was right next to me... She shouted for help inside, and by that time the fire had already reached my side...

"

He then asked: "Can she get out on her own?"

"She locked the door inside but didn't take the key."

"Then do you have the key with you?"

"..."

Yu Wenhao frowned and looked at Gu Mian, lowering his voice: "Do you suspect that this woman has anything to do with the fire?"

Gu Mian shook his head slightly.

Several other people were very surprised. This woman was too weird. She was obviously a victim of the fire that year, but she always seemed weird.

At this time, Gu Mian looked at the woman and said, "Since you work the night shift in the warehouse, you must carry the key to the warehouse with you. I think you didn't run out immediately after you woke up, but went to save people?"

The others were slightly startled when they heard this.

Judging from the current situation, her rescue attempt obviously failed.

"I guess when you woke up and heard the cry for help, you opened the door with the key and wanted to escape with Zhong Min, but something went wrong and Zhong Min died in the fire and you were also burned."

"And judging from your description of Zhong Min just now, she definitely did something to you, maybe while she was alive, or maybe after she died."

"She should be complaining that you failed to rescue her, and even after turning into a ghost, she started to pester you."

Therefore, the curse that the landlord heard from Zhong Min back then was most likely not directed at someone else, but at the woman who left her and ran away.

Qing Huan looked confused: "Then why can she survive until now?"

This should also be the key to this copy.

After listening to Gu Mian's words, the woman fell silent. After a long time, she raised her face and showed a strange smile as if she was relieved.

"You are right, I did want to save people at that time, but what Zhong Min did was much more excessive than you imagined."

"We didn't know each other at all at that time. After the fire spread, I was woken up and heard her calling for help from behind the door, so I took out the key, opened the door and ran away with her."

"Everything went smoothly. We held our noses and walked through the large warehouse, trying to run outside, but then a burning shelf fell down and hit her."

"I wanted to pull her out and run with her, but the frame was too heavy and I couldn't pull her up at all."

"The fire was already very strong. She held my hand and begged me desperately not to abandon her and let me rescue her, but if she stayed any longer, I would die too."

"I had no choice, so I told her to find someone to save her. Who knew she would pull my leg so hard that I couldn't walk at all!"

"She said she didn't believe me. If I couldn't save her, we would both die there together."

"At this time, several pieces of cloth that were burning on the shelf were thrown at me. She was holding me tightly. I couldn't dodge at all, so I was hit like this..."

She touched her face as she spoke.

"At that time, my hair and clothes were on fire, and my face hurt so much that I didn't care about anything. I raised my foot and kicked her hard several times. She kept kicking her and let me go.

Then he ran outside."

The update in the middle of the night is useless. Thanks to Qingcheng just for citric acid, Fang Tian Huaji ted, medicine is not growing, sty1999, I joined the group for the reminder, fairy, Huan Cheng Yueying, Feng Tianzun, Lin Fenghan, Luo Kaikai1,
