The young man's crazy shouting attracted the attention of some occasional passers-by, who looked curiously at the houses under the rain.
"No, hurry up -"
"OK, thanks."
Lu Li ignored the other party's refusal, forced his way past the young man and entered the entrance hall, closing the door behind him.
Boom——
The door closed, and the young man backed away nervously holding the wooden stick, as nervous as a mental illness.
"Don't be nervous Mr. Trans, we are just here to understand some situations."
Lu Li said, looking across the room.
The house has only one floor and is an ordinary three-bedroom and one-living room. There is a study and two bedrooms. The window of the living room faces the west, with its back to the port. The smell of inferior disinfectant is stronger than that in the hospital, almost choking.
It seems to be covering up something.
Both the floor and the sofa furniture were spotless, and there was a mop stained with water next to it.
Terrance seemed to have a severe case of mysophobia, but this was not mentioned in the information given by Valentin.
"You guys..." Terrance's eyes flashed with vigilance. He noticed that Lu Li was talking about quantifiers, and he turned around to look for him, as if there was another person in the room.
Although it is true.
"And my colleague, he was outside and didn't come in." Lu Li frowned at the paranoid behavior of Terrans being murdered.
Lu Li walked to the sofa and sat down. This behavior might make the other person nervous, but it would make the other person realize that he was harmless: "Okay, Mr. Trans, please sit down. I have some questions I want to ask you."
"Didn't you come and ask about it a few days ago?"
Terrance finally believed Lu Li's words a little. He walked around the sofa and sat down opposite Lu Li.
He held the wooden stick tightly in his hand, and his whole body showed a posture of extreme vigilance to the surroundings.
Naturally, there was no tea prepared for the guests.
"This is a new problem this time." Lu Li said, staring into Terrance's eyes, his voice was slow and low: "Just outside the door, I noticed that you seemed to be afraid that we would find your wife. Can you tell me the reason, or...
"
His dark eyes narrowed slightly.
"You have something to do with the disappearance of your wife Shelley."
Shelley, O'Connor's new name, or the new body he occupied after abandoning the unusable body of Luke.
She disappeared yesterday, and a neighbor reported her today. So Lu Li came over and noticed that her husband was acting strangely and was full of suspicions.
Now it seems that this husband is very suspicious.
"It's not that I didn't!" This name seemed to arouse fear in Terrance. His eyes were red and he shouted tremblingly: "I know the truth, but you police won't believe it!"
Lu Li's expression remained unchanged, and he crossed his legs and leaned on the sofa with a calm expression: "Believe it or not, I won't know until you tell me. After all, judging from the situation I have seen so far, you are highly suspicious anyway. For example, you
The remarks just now can be regarded as worrying that the police will find her, for example, you cleaning the house can be regarded as eliminating clues."
"It's really not me! She's dead a long time ago! The last time she came back, she was already——" The shouting stopped suddenly, and Terrance suddenly stopped speaking. He fell back to the sofa with a gloomy face and returned to his taciturn look.
Dead a long time ago?
This sentence meant a lot to Lu Li's ears, and he asked, "If you are referring to something unexplainable, you can tell me."
"What?" Terrance looked up blankly.
Lu Li secretly guided him: "For example, supernatural events."
Turnstone stared at Lu Li with his red eyes and realized something: "Who the hell are you?!"
"I introduced myself just now." Lu Li replied expressionlessly.
Terrance moved his head between his legs and whispered: "You will think I am crazy..."
"If you are worried about anything, I can promise not to tell you."
Lu Li turned his head and looked towards the empty space where Anna might be.
Anna nodded, regardless of whether Lu Li would see it or not, and drifted into other rooms to search for clues.
"Okay...I'll tell you..."
Terrance slowly raised his head, revealing his extremely haggard face.
With this look, no one would believe that he is 26 years old.
"My wife and I worked for Root Bank, where we met and fell in love. We bought this house together... We wanted to have another child and stay with each other until we grow old..."
Yang Chunxue came from the bedroom and shook her head at Lu Li.
Everything in the study and bedroom was normal, and nothing wrong was found - if it was not too clean.
Terrance was still talking in a low voice.
Living together as husband and wife for a period of time may not be as passionate as the first, but it is very warm. Until a few days ago, Shelley temporarily disappeared.
She disappeared for a long time without any news, and then appeared in front of Terrance again when he started to get nervous, brushing away his doubts.
"Wait, you mean, she disappeared a few days ago?" Lu Li frowned slightly. "Do you remember the specific time?"
"Around 11 o'clock in the morning?"
"I mean the date."
"About six days ago."
Lu Li finally knew what the problem was.
The information provided by Deputy Sheriff Valentin was actually Shelley's second disappearance. The truth was that she had briefly disappeared six days ago - but because Terrance did not call the police immediately, and Shelley quickly disappeared.
After returning, the police received no news.
According to time calculation, the day Shelley disappeared for the first time happened to be the day after Lu Li contacted Deputy Sheriff Valentine.
In other words, even after the first disappearance...it was no longer her wife who came back.
It was a chaotic soul that possessed all the memories of O'Connor, Ruby, and Shelley.
The smell of disinfectant in the room and the strange behavior of Terrance were explained. The former was covering up the rotten smell, while the latter was frightened.
Lu Li shook his head slightly and took a step slower...
This was a problem caused by insufficient information. Lu Li thought this was the second person O'Connor attacked, but in fact O'Connor had already left the rotten Shirley and was now looking for new victims.
Perhaps it has been found.
"I later found out...my wife...she was actually dead...it was her body that came back that day."
Terrance held his head in pain.
Of course Lu Li knew this, but he still said, "How do you know?"
"Do living people have body spots?" Terrance smiled bitterly.
…
"Huh...huh..."
Terrance panted and rolled over on the bed, his chest heaving.
The wife beside her stood up stiffly and walked towards the bathroom without any trace of clothing.
This was interpreted by Terrance as a lack of energy. He leaned against the bedside and was about to laugh at Shelley's back when he suddenly saw a large black and blue spot all over Shelley's back.
Shelley seemed a little itchy and stretched out his hand to scratch his back.
The nails scratched the skin on the back, and the skin was easily separated as if separated from the flesh and blood, revealing the subcutaneous fat and thick, fuzzy flesh.
Terrance rubbed his eyes vigorously, and when he opened them again, his wife had already gotten into the bathroom.
