The 28th floor is half hotel and half ordinary residents. The room 2807 that Shi Ying wants to go to is the penultimate room on the right. There are bright red Spring Festival couplets on both sides of the door of the room next to it, and there is a bag of garbage next to the door. It must be someone who lives there regularly.
Shi Ying took out the key, opened the door of 2807, and walked in gently.
The room had not been occupied for a long time, but because the doors and windows were closed, there was not too much dust. Shi Ying tried turning on the light, but it still turned on. I wonder who was still paying the electricity bill. Could it be the agency? Shi Ying
Speculating endlessly.
This is a very typical loft room type. The area is not too small. It has large full-height glass windows. The lower floor is the living room and the upper floor is the bedroom. The upper and lower floors are connected by stairs.
Shi Ying walked around in a circle, and there was basically no information about the owner left in the room. There were only simple decorations and furniture, and the basic tones of beige and gray. It could only be seen that the previous owner of the room was a person who did not like exaggeration.
Shi Ying stood by the window of the living room and felt it. It is said that this is where Cheng Tianxiang jumped. He broke through the glass and jumped from here.
From here, you can see the square in front of the mall. At this moment, some vendors have set up children's play equipment underneath, preparing to give parents who come out to walk their children after work a chance to spend money.
Shi Ying checked the time. It was almost seven o'clock, and she turned on the live broadcast.
"Good evening everyone, I am your Haunted House host. Today I came to a haunted house in the city. The resident here once died mysteriously, and the house has been vacant and has not been rented out again."
"According to the agent, the rent of this room has been reduced to half of other rooms in the same area, but it still cannot be rented. Every time a group of people view the house, no matter how satisfied they are on the day, they will always receive a rejection message the next day."
"Come on, come on, you're so on time today, hourly anchor"
"Could there be some evil spirit following them back and warning them not to rent his room?"
"That's reasonable. If I die, I don't want anyone else to live in my room."
"What the hell is this? He's so domineering."
…
Shi Ying: "It's still the same as before. Friends who have watched the trailer, please don't spoil it. I have a lot of new friends today." There are more than 500 people watching online. It seems that the effect of her first two live broadcasts is quite good.
A bunch of short sentences such as "Okay", "I understand the rules", "No problem" floated on the barrage. Shi Ying nodded and started today's case story:
"Today's protagonist is named Cheng Tianxiang, a 28-year-old male who works at a major Internet company in the city's high-tech zone. He joined the company after graduating at the age of 22. The salary in the Internet industry is considerable, and he works hard.
I work a lot of overtime, and at such a young age..."
"Bald." A barrage appeared on the quiet screen. Shi Ying almost choked on her saliva and hurriedly clenched her hands into fists to cover up two dry coughs.
The barrage seemed to be ignited by these two words and became lively:
"Is this talking about the deceased? I couldn't help but touch my hair and felt that I was being connoted."
"I said earlier that you are bald and don't run away. If you scold whoever you scold, I will smash you to death with my keyboard."
"Brothers, have a better attitude. I'm bald, but I'm also stronger."
"Thank you for the invitation. The chosen person who is thirty-three years old and still has thick hair in the IT industry is here."
…
"Ahem, he bought this apartment at a young age with no mortgage. Now he is gone and the house is left to his parents, who then put it out for rent. This is what I can tell you here today.
The reason for the live broadcast." Shi Ying worked hard to steer the live broadcast in the right direction.
"I advise you not to get too involved. Making so much money is of no use if you don't have people left."
"I didn't die suddenly at work. I'm not involved in anything, so don't be too gay upstairs."
"Didn't the police say he committed suicide? Why? Too much work pressure?"
"Probably not. I also reminded you not to spoil spoilers. The host just reminded me that some people didn't realize it."
…
Shi Ying took her phone to the window and showed the following scene to the audience in the live broadcast room: "We are now in the upper apartment building of the largest commercial complex in Weixi District of this city. From the window we can see people's evening activities downstairs.
It looks very lively, isn’t it?”
"It's my first time here today, but I discovered a problem as soon as I came here. It's not necessarily related to the case I'm going to talk about today, but I want to discuss it with you."
Shi Ying returned to the living room, sat at the table, took out a notebook and drew while saying: "I didn't bring my tablet with me when I went out today, so I just took some paper to draw. Audiences with other devices can open the browser or map software and search for this
Street view of the shopping mall.”
"There are three super high-rise buildings in Cook Mall, numbered A, B, and C respectively. The building in the middle is where I am, Tower B, which is the tallest among the three. It has 46 floors including the ground floor shops."
"The other two buildings, Tower A, have 40 floors, and Tower C has the lowest 38 floors." Shi Ying drew three buildings, middle, high and low, on paper and marked them with numbers.
"If you look at their relationship, the order of middle, high and low in the incense spectrum symbolizes longevity, and the three towers also correspond to the three pillars of incense."
"When I went upstairs, I found that the north and south gates of the middle building were not prioritized. That is to say, both sides are the main entrance. In other words, we can also understand it as the order of CBA in reverse, and the corresponding heights are low, high, and medium.
, this order in the incense spectrum symbolizes increasing wealth.”
"Increasing wealth and longevity are both good meanings. And I found out that the former CEO of Demao, who has resigned, this mall was his last project before retirement. He probably designed this to extend his life.
A highly ordered building.”
"Of course, all this is just my temporary discovery and speculation. If you think it is credible, just listen to it. If you think it doesn't make sense, just treat it as my gossip. This may not necessarily have anything to do with today's case."
"I found the photo. The lobby on the first floor of AC is the same as the lobby of B. They have two main entrances and the decoration is the same."
"This is normal, right? There are a lot of people moving around in the apartment, so it's reasonable to design two entrances, and the three floors are all owned by the same family, so shouldn't they be decorated the same?"
"The former head of Demao is called Li Demao. He is 74 this year. The mall was started nine years ago. Maybe he really designed it before he retired!"
"When the anchor went upstairs, did you see that the 41st to 46th floors were sealed? I saw a news saying that the top-floor hotel closed down and no one took over. The owner's lease period has not yet expired, so he simply sealed it."
…
Shi Ying saw the last barrage and recalled it. It seemed that the top elevator buttons were indeed covered by a box. She thought the box was designed like that at the time, but it was indeed a bit strange now that she thought about it.
If what the barrage said was true, then she had an even stranger conjecture...
What is persistence? Is it because I write two chapters and publish two chapters every day? No, it’s because @ my level is too low to show off my shame. My classmates vote for me every day. Recently, I feel like I have returned to a state where no one reads it, so I would like to thank you very much for your daily support.
Support, the holiday is coming soon, I wish you a happy May Day!
