Chapter 278 Whos knocking on the door?

Zhang Ling returned to her room feeling a little depressed.

I found a red folder on the bedside table in the room.

She stepped forward and opened the file with some confusion.

The first page of the document turned out to be a message from Wu Man to her.

Said that this document could prove the fate of those who offended Cheng Jing on the plane.

Unexpectedly, Wu Man still remembered his promise.

That is, it proves Cheng Jing’s unknown terror.

The second page is the passenger list on the plane at that time.

The name marked in red on the list is the person who said harsh words to Cheng Jing.

Next is the identity information with the name marked in red.

And related news about the accidents that happened to these people after they got off the plane.

These include accidents such as car accidents, falling objects from heights, and burning yourself while eating hot pot.

If Wu Man hadn't contacted Cheng Jing specifically.

Zhang Ling never imagined that these accidents were essentially man-made disasters.

To prove the authenticity of the document.

She also indirectly confirmed it in her own way.

Those unexpected messages do exist.

Even Wu Man's investigation results were countless times more detailed than what she found.

Zhang Ling looked at the file information.

Her body couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.

She was wondering who Wu Man was?

These documents are not readily available to ordinary people.

But Wu Man actually did it.

fortunately!

She and Wu Man were not enemies from the beginning.

This indirectly proves that she and Wu Man are not the same person.

Wu Man's departure is not a bad thing for him.

Obviously, for Zhang Ling, too many things happened in the past two days.

She had to calm down and take a closer look.

Why does it feel like she is experiencing a suspense drama firsthand?

First, my father’s strange instructions before leaving;

Then I met a familiar Wu Man inexplicably, and today Wu Man left inexplicably without saying a word;

Then there was the old lady from the wooden house she met who wanted to recognize her as her goddaughter.

And she may have hated Qi Diaozhe too much.

So I intentionally ignored the fact that I met Qi Diaozhe and Cheng Jing.

Zhang Ling sent these strange things she thought to Mystery just like yesterday.

As the saying goes, bystanders know better.

I hope the mystery can help her analyze some clues.

at this time.

The time has finally come for Lee to switch mysteries.

It was hard to get Xiaodouzi to go to bed.

Only then did he have time to chat with Zhang Ling in a mysterious identity.

Yesterday, Zhang Pengtian forced him to stay temporarily.

In addition, Zhang Pengtian gave him the important task of taking care of Xiaodouzi to sleep during Zhang Ling's absence.

So he took the time to go home at noon today and took the mysterious mobile phone with him.

When he turned on his phone, he heard it vibrating non-stop.

Li Xiang was half excited and worried until his phone stopped vibrating.

Excited because Zhang Ling thought of him first when something happened;

Worry is that I am worried that my failure to handle Zhang Ling's news in time will cause Zhang Ling's favorability towards Mystery to plummet.

He couldn't wait to enter the chat interface.

Zhang Ling's messages scrolled before his eyes.

He concentrated and began to quickly browse the content of the message.

Li wanted to read all the text descriptions.

After thinking for a while, he replied.

【Are you asleep?】

Zhang Ling wondered, did she not read her words?

Immediately, the favorability towards the mystery in my heart began to plummet.

She had no interest in replying to this sentence.

So I was about to put my phone aside and really go to sleep.

Unexpectedly, another message was sent mysteriously.

[Personally, I think you’d better not sleep tonight.]

Zhang Ling became very interested immediately after seeing this message.

She quickly took the phone back out of her hand.

I quickly replied "Why?"

I watched the screen and waited for a while.

The mysterious news flashed again.

[Because Wu Man has confirmed to you the consequences of offending Cheng Jing. And you are the person who offended Cheng Jing the most.]

Li Xiang was already restless after replying to this message.

What if you don’t know where Zhang Ling is?

He wished he could flash up next to Zhang Ling in an instant.

Zhang Ling immediately sat up from the bed after seeing the news.

It wasn't that she was frightened by the news.

And Zhang Ling heard someone knocking on her door.

She asked loudly who was knocking on the door?

It's very strange that I can't hear any response.

But the knock on the door remained the same.

Zhang Ling jumped out of bed and quickly came to the door.

She didn't open the door immediately.

First, through the peephole, no one could be seen at the door.

The knocking on the door was no longer heard.

She thought to herself, could it be that the prankster knew that he was afraid and ran away?

So she didn't open the door to check the situation this time.

He went back to bed and prepared to tell the mystery about this strange thing.

Unexpectedly, as soon as she typed two words, she heard another knock on the door with the same frequency.

Zhang Ling dropped her phone angrily and rushed to the door again.

This time she opened the door without hesitation.

I was just about to yell at the person who knocked on the door.

But she found that the door was empty, just like what she saw in the cat's eyes, there was no sign of anyone.

No more movement was heard.

Is the cabin haunted?

At this time, Ning’s mother was ready to go back to her room to rest.

In the corridor, I saw Zhang Ling looking around.

So he walked over quickly and asked:

"Miss Ling, are you looking for something? I'll help you find it."

Zhang Ling said doubtfully:

"Mother Ning, did you see anyone passing by when you first came here?"

Mother Ning looked back at the corridor with a hint of fear and confusion and said:

"Ms. Ling, did you see anyone else in the corridor?"

Zhang Ling waved her hand and explained:

"No, no. I just heard someone knocking on the door. I opened the door but couldn't see anyone when I came out. So I just asked."

Mother Ning seemed to understand something and said with a smile:

"Knocking on the door? Haha, Miss Ling must have misunderstood. It should be the footsteps of someone passing by in the corridor."

While speaking, Ning’s mother stepped on the spot for a few steps and continued to ask:

"Miss Ling, do you hear this sound?"

After listening to this, Zhang Ling said:

"Like! But it doesn't feel as crisp as the sound I just heard."

Mother Ning transformed into Sherlock Holmes and explained with a smile:

"To say that the sound is crispy, it must be related to the material of the heel of the shoe and the contact area between the sole and the ground. In other words, most of the people passing by your door are wearing high heels."

Zhang Ling looked at Ning's mother's determined look and boldly guessed:

"I heard Mama Ning speak so professionally. I guess Mama Ning used to be a criminal police officer. She is the kind who specializes in solving major and important cases."

Ning's mother simply thought this was a compliment to her.

She lowered her head in embarrassment and said:

"Miss Ling is overly praised! I just read a few more detective novels. Plus I have worked here for more than ten years. I am simply more familiar with some of the situations here than Miss Ling."

Zhang Ling said with a smile:

"Oh, it turns out that Mother Ning also likes to read some detective novels!"

Zhang Ling just pretended that they were like-minded people.

This allowed Mama Ning to relax her vigilance.

Reveal some special secrets about the cabin.

Mother Ning said with some excitement:

"Yes, yes, I especially like Sherlock Holmes."

Zhang Ling said:

"I'm interested in detective novels. I'm only obsessed with Detective Conan. I just want to see who Kudo Shinichi's official CP is?"

Mother Ning blurted out:

"Shouldn't it be Mao Lilan?"

Zhang Ling said:

"But as the plot develops, many people think that Haibara Ai and Kudo Shinichi are the most suitable ones. What about me? I'm too lazy to guess. I just want to see how the author arranges the ending."

Mother Ning said with a bit of complaint:

"This is also a big reason why I don't like Detective Conan. The official CP is becoming more and more unclear."

Zhang Ling said with a smile:

"I just dislike the current Conan plot as it is too stale."

Mother Ning said emotionally:

"Yes, yes, this is another reason why I don't like Detective Conan. If the author has exhausted his talent, he should finish it as soon as possible. Don't always be a consumer reader without a bottom line..."

People are least vigilant when talking about the things they love most.

If I hadn't received the call from the old lady to Ning's mother.

Mother Ning can definitely continue talking about the detective topic.

Now her plan can only be put on hold temporarily.

She watched Ning's mother's back disappear before closing the door and returning to the room.

Very strange!

As soon as Zhang Ling sat back on her bed, she heard the same frequency knock on the door again.

In her mind, she compared the sound of walking mentioned by Ning's mother.

The first thing that comes to mind is that Cheng Jing is playing a prank.

Because currently the only person living in the wooden house is Cheng Jing who can possibly wear high heels.

I just don’t know that Cheng Jing doesn’t sleep so late.

What does it mean to always walk back and forth in the corridor?

Zhang Ling stood up from the bed excitedly again.

As he rushed towards the door with angry steps.

She secretly vowed to catch Cheng Jing on the spot this time.

Let Cheng Jing understand the consequences of disturbing others' rest at night.

However, she was inspired by the sound of her own footsteps.

No matter how I thought about it, I felt that the footsteps mentioned by Ning's mother obviously did not match the knock on the door she heard.

Even if someone walks by in the corridor.

The sound should also have a sense of distance, strength, and weakness.

But the sound of knocking on the door had no strong or weak feeling.

Without any suspense, she opened the door to the room again.

Still no trace of anyone passing by in the corridor.

So this time, Zhang Ling's guess was confirmed.

The sound was not a knock on the door.

Nor was it the sound of someone's footsteps passing by in the corridor.

Then it must be that the poison of some wild vegetables she ate for lunch was not completely eliminated.

That's why my ears were hallucinating due to the poisonous corrosion of wild vegetables.

But what does this hallucination mean?

Zhang Ling didn't have time to think too much.

She clearly heard the urgent message alert sound on her phone.

What kind of message pops up in succession?

One prompt ended without sounding, and another prompt sounded again...

It seems that the mobile phone signal has just been temporarily poor.

So this is because Mysterious is worried about her performance.

A happy smile reappeared on Zhang Ling's originally worried face.

She closed the door and hurried to the cell phone on the bed.

Eager to see what the mystery said to her?

【Why didn't you speak suddenly?】

【speak!】

【problem occurs?】



Just for a moment.

At least 70% of the more than 100 messages concerned that she might be persecuted by Cheng Jing.

It seems that her status in the hearts of the mysterious is quite high!

Zhang Ling's fingers quickly jumped on the screen with a bit of excitement.

Even with nine-key touch typing, she felt unable to quickly express her feelings.

She first typed out "Are you worried about my safety?"

Sending it out like this will definitely make her chatter to death.

So I quickly deleted it and changed it to "I'm fine! Thank you for your concern."

This makes me feel a little too narcissistic.

inappropriate!

So she quickly deleted it again.

Listening to the annoying knock on the door, he stared at the door in the distance fiercely.

Zhang Ling quickly changed it to:

[I always hear someone knocking on the door. But I can’t see anyone when I open the door twice in a row. It’s so annoying!]

Mysterious replied without hesitation:

[You won’t encounter a ghost knocking on your door.]

Zhang Ling was a little surprised by the mysterious answer.

How could a highly skilled person in the field of science and technology say such a thing?

However, Zhang Ling did not use this reason to attack the mystery.

On the contrary, I feel that it is a very valuable quality for people like Mysterious to have more of a human spirit.

So she continued her mysterious words:

[Impossible! In other words, the ghost knocked on the door four times. But the knocking I heard was a bit like a monk knocking on a wooden fish, and he kept knocking.]

After Zhang Ling sent this message, she mysteriously and briefly stopped responding.

I wonder if Mystery is thinking about how to reply this time?

Or there was a problem with the network again.

What was equally strange was that the knocking on the door also stopped.

She originally wanted to tell the mystery about the sound of the knock on the door stopping.

But when her fingers quickly transformed the question into relevant text.

Her finger accidentally dropped the phone without clicking the send button.

Her body moved towards the door as if possessed.

Putting one hand on the door handle, I could clearly feel an electric current passing through my body.

He asked himself doubtfully:

"Why am I here?"

An inexplicable voice sounded in my ears.

"That's because someone is knocking on the door!"

Zhang Ling's body involuntarily unlocked the door.

The moment he quickly opened the door, he saw Cheng Jing appearing at the door.

Before she could ask.

Cheng Jing stopped trying to knock on the door.

Somewhat nervously, he made sure there were no outsiders in the corridor.

He also deliberately lowered his voice and said:

"Zhang Ling, listen to me. Qi Diaozhe needs you now. As long as you promise to save Qi Diaozhe's life, I will do anything you ask me to do."

Cheng Jing was bewitched by Xiao Qin.

I have completely believed that Qi Diaozhe was poisoned by Zhang Ling.

So I tried to do the final confirmation in this way.

Zhang Ling sneered and said:

"Cheng Jing, haven't you heard of a saying: Never try to wake up a person who is pretending to sleep?"

That’s right!

Relatively speaking, Zhang Ling was more willing to believe what the old lady said.

Qi Diaozhe is just a person pretending to be asleep.

Cheng Jing heard this and became even more convinced that Xiao Qin said Zhang Ling was colluding with her aunt.

If that's the case, then don't blame her Cheng Jing for being ruthless.

So Cheng Jing restrained her humble attitude towards Zhang Ling.

Then, with a serious look on his face, he said as if he was making a final declaration of war against Zhang Ling:

"Zhang Ling, let me ask you one last time. Are you sure you want to watch Qi Diaozhe fall asleep completely? And you still decide to ignore it."

Because Xiao Qin reminded Cheng Jing before leaving that tonight was the last time to save Qi Diaozhe.

If Zhang Ling cannot be persuaded to save Qi Diaozhe.

Then the only thing waiting for Qi Diaozhe is death.

Cheng Jing was naturally unwilling to let Qi Diaozhe die quietly under her nose.

So she had to do something for Qi Diaozhe in the end.
