Chapter 139: Dancing Girl Ye Mei (40): The Old Corpse Hidden in the Attic
Ye Mei's sudden appearance made us a little embarrassed. You must know that a few seconds ago everyone was still discussing issues about Ye Mei. Her sudden appearance made Shen Yao and Maomao a little overwhelmed.
"Ye Mei, don't worry, little Ye Zi is fine. But someone needs to watch her now, otherwise we won't know if something goes wrong," Shen Yao said.
"I'm actually a little scared to be alone. Why don't you, Lu An, come over and accompany me?" Ye Mei expressed her request.
"This?" I looked at Shen Yao.
"Okay, you can go over and accompany Ye Mei. Just remember to call us if you have anything." Shen Yao saw Ye Mei's purpose and immediately understood.
"That's right, you should stay with sister Ye Mei at this time, otherwise she will be really scared by herself." Maomao followed.
"Okay." Faced with this situation, I had no choice but to agree.
Ye Mei and I went downstairs together, and then came to Ye Mei's room.
Little Ye Zi slept deeply and snored slightly. I sat on the sofa next to me, and Ye Mei sat next to me and leaned on my shoulder.
"Don't worry, Shen Yao's ability is still good." I didn't know what to say, so I could only comfort him.
"I'm not worried about this, I'm actually worried about another thing." Ye Mei said.
"What happened?" I asked.
Ye Mei sat up straight and looked at me steadily, "Lu An, what kind of person do you think I am?"
"Very good, why do you ask that?" I didn't know what Ye Mei meant.
"Do you think I treat you well?" Ye Mei asked again.
"Of course, you are very nice to me." I told the truth.
"If something happens to me, you will definitely help me, right? I know you will, just like before?" Ye Mei continued to ask.
"Yes, I will help you." I nodded.
"Let's go, I'll take you somewhere." Ye Mei said, pulling me outside.
Ye Mei took me directly to the fourth floor, then took out a key to unlock the fourth floor, and led the way in a familiar manner. When I walked to a room on the fourth floor, she opened the lock and then took me away. Go in.
The room was dark, with only the dim light coming from the window. Then the room was filled with an indescribable smell, which seemed to be something rotten or something old.
"Ye Mei, what are you going to do?" I looked at Ye Mei and asked.
Ye Mei didn't say anything. She walked to the large mirror next to her and groped underneath, as if she was looking for something. Soon she touched a button and pressed it. The huge mirror began to rotate slowly, and finally A door appeared, Ye Mei glanced at me, and then walked in.
I didn't expect that there was such a mechanism on the fourth floor. I followed Ye Mei and walked in. I felt that the smell in the room was getting stronger and stronger. After entering the room, I saw a coffin without a lid, and there was a corpse lying inside. It was said that it should be a corpse that had been dead for a long time.
"What's going on?" I looked at Ye Mei and asked in surprise.
"This is the secret I want to tell you. This man's name is He Ning. He died here a year ago. Then I was afraid that others would find out, so I kept hiding here." Ye Mei said.
"What on earth is going on?" I looked at Ye Mei and asked.
"In fact, many people know about this, but they only know the process, not the result." Ye Mei said, "He Ning is a small gangster nearby. At that time, he often came to Gulou to collect protection fees..."
Ye Mei talked about He Ning's situation, which turned out to be a secret hidden by everyone in Gulou.
Because of the special nature of the isolated building, He Ning always comes here one day every month to collect protection money from the people in the building. Most of the people living in the isolated building are people who don't want to cause trouble. He Ning
He is also a very smart man. He doesn't ask for much money every time. In this way, almost everyone in Gulou has to pay him money every month. Later, everyone couldn't bear it and decided to fight against He Ning, otherwise
If this continues, I don't know when I will be able to get rid of him.
So, the landlady took the initiative to invite He Ning to have a meal. They were in the room of the landlady on the first floor at that time. The landlady’s idea was also what everyone wanted. It was very simple. It was to be polite before fighting. If He Ning did not agree, something would happen.
If there is a dispute, let the police handle it.
Naturally, He Ning was unwilling to the landlord's request. He even shouted that if the payment was less, he would break off relations with everyone and let all the homeless people in the city come to the neighborhood. As for He Ning's attitude
, the others couldn't bear it anymore, so they started to fight each other, but no one expected that, without paying attention, He Ning was pushed to the stairs next to him, and then hit the stairs and onto the iron shelf, and died on the spot.
.
Because of this everyone's problem, everyone was unwilling to let him bear the responsibility for accidentally killing He Ning. So they discussed and hid He Ning's body on the fourth floor. He Ning himself was a little bastard, and
He had no family or friends, and no one took his disappearance seriously. Of course, this was something that some of the older people who lived in this lonely building knew.
The reason why Ye Mei has been coming to the fourth floor recently is because she received a mysterious anonymous letter before. In this letter, the other party told in detail how they killed He Ning, and also told the specific situation of the body.
The request is also very simple, just want money.
Ye Mei was worried about being taken advantage of by others, so she secretly came to the fourth floor that night to check on He Ning's body. However, she didn't expect that she happened to encounter a situation where little Ye Zi was infected by a horror game.
"What do you want to say?" I looked at Ye Mei and asked.
"I suspect that the person who wrote the letter was someone who lived here with us back then." Ye Mei said.
"What do you mean?" I don't understand.
"I'm afraid we can't hide the secrets here, and we always have to face those who come. In fact, I didn't agree with them to deal with it privately at the beginning. After all, if a person dies, he will always be found despite thousands of mountains and rivers. If we had
If you call the police, you might not have to worry about something like this happening today." Ye Mei sighed.
"It's okay now, as long as you are innocent." I said.
"This is not my business alone, so I don't know what I should do?" Ye Mei looked very painful.
I looked at He Ning in the coffin and after hearing about Ye Mei's situation, I felt depressed. This was really unexpected news. Should I call the police? If I didn't call the police, obviously I would become their gang.
If I call the police, I really can't bear Ye Mei to face such a thing alone?
