"Well, it's in the basement downstairs of this unit. You can go down directly from the first floor." the security guard replied.
"Take us there."
Cao Xuan did not hesitate and asked the security guard to lead the way. The group of people walked from the fifth floor to the first floor again. However, before leaving, Qin Yu took one last look at Qin Haifeng's room. Finally, before leaving the door,
At that moment, he took out a handful of black ashes from his pocket, smeared it on the doorknob, and opened the door.
"This is the way to go down to the basement." The security guard led everyone to the first floor and went directly to the back of the stairs. There was an iron door there, but it was not locked.
"Don't worry yet."
Seeing the security guard reaching out to pull the iron gate, Cao Xuan opened his mouth to stop him. Then, he walked to the iron gate. After observing carefully for a while, he turned to Qin Yu and said: "Master Qin, this iron gate
The rust on the door is not obvious, indicating that the door has been opened frequently."
"That's not right. Our property management rarely goes into this basement. There are just some sundries in there." The security guard said suspiciously.
"If you don't go in, it doesn't mean that others won't go in." Qin Yu said meaningfully, stepped forward and opened the iron door, and walked towards the basement.
After a group of people walked down a staircase, the security guard was about to speak, but after seeing Qin Yu's actions, he closed his mouth again, because he opened his mouth to remind everyone that there was a security guard at the bottom of the stairs.
There was a light switch button on the wall. Unexpectedly, Qin Yu had already put his hand on it and pressed it.
When the light switch was pressed, everyone whose vision had been affected suddenly felt their eyes light up, and the entire basement appeared in front of them. The basement was very large, more like a maze, and they were just standing at the starting entrance.
"This basement is so big and is so abandoned. With a little work, it can be turned into an underground parking lot?" Meng Yao looked at the spacious basement and said.
"Well, because this place is relatively trendy and the parking garage in the community is not enough, the developer did not build an underground parking garage in the end," the security guard replied.
"Hush! Silence!"
Just when Cao Xuan was about to ask, Qin Yu made a gesture to silence everyone, and then whispered: "Listen carefully, do you hear anything?"
With Qin Yu's prompt, everyone present listened attentively. After a while, Cao Xuan replied in a low voice: "It's the sound of music."
"I heard it too. This music is a bit similar to Buddhist chanting. It makes people very comfortable and relaxed." Meng Yao also replied.
Hearing Meng Yao's answer, Qin Yu glanced at Meng Yao in surprise. He was not surprised that Cao Xuan could hear this voice. After all, as the head of a special department in an important place like the capital, if there wasn't
These abilities are too unreasonable.
But Meng Yao could actually hear the music, and even sensed the type of music. This surprised Qin Yu. Qin Yu was sure that the source of the music was at least twenty meters away from here.
, and the sound was not loud. If I hadn't had good ears, it would have been absolutely impossible for a normal person to hear it. Just like Chen Qingzhi, the security guard, and Cao Xuan's subordinates at this moment, they all had a look on their faces.
of confusion.
Meng Yao's hearing was so good, which Qin Yu had not noticed before, but it surprised him.
"Master Qin, this music, we..." Cao Xuan cast a questioning look at Qin Yu.
"Let's go and have a look."
Qin Yu first walked in the direction where the music came from, but Cao Xuan thought for a moment, then gave his men an order to speak louder, and the group followed Qin Yu lightly.
After passing another corner, Chen Qingzhi and others finally heard the sound of music. However, just because of hearing the sound of music, Chen Qingzhi's hair stood up.
This music is very relaxing and soothing, a bit similar to the drowsy music that some elderly people often listen to.
But it was this kind of comfortable music that made Chen Qingzhi feel horrified, because this music appeared in an environment where it shouldn't appear.
The environment that belongs to this kind of music is on the beach or under the sun, or under the shade of a tree in the hot summer. Listening to this kind of music and taking a quiet rest is the real living environment for this kind of music.
And in this dark, humid, light-less, very quiet and dark basement, the appearance of such music in this environment is like seeing a woman dressed in ancient costume in the corridor of a modern office building at night.
Unspeakably creepy.
Sometimes, when something appears in an environment that is not suitable for it, it will bring horror to people's senses. Take the sounds of Buddhist music and scriptures as an example. If it is in a temple, it sounds soothing and upright, but if it is in a temple, it will sound soothing and upright.
At home, especially in old-fashioned buildings, there is not enough light. The sound of this kind of music will not only make people feel uncomfortable, but will make them feel uncomfortable and even shudder.
Even Meng Yao's little face wrinkled up. In the darkness, listening to the soothing music made her think of those horror and murderous foreign movies inexplicably.
The group of people walked slowly. In order not to alert others, they did not even turn on the lights. Their figures were all plunged into darkness. However, even in the darkness, Qin Yu could vaguely see the changes in the expressions of the people around him.
"It's inside this door." Cao Xuan stopped and made a gesture towards the door in front, meaning that the music was coming from this door. What should we do now?
Qin Yu answered Cao Xuan directly with his actions, walked straight towards the door, and then opened the door suddenly.
"Bang!"
There was a sound of objects collapsing inside, and then there was no movement. At this time, Cao Xuan also rushed up and shouted inside: "Who is inside?"
"Chief, this is Professor Qin Haifeng's utility room. There is a light switch next to the door." The security guard said quickly from behind.
Snap!
Cao Xuan put his hand on the light without hesitation, and the indoor lights turned on, revealing everything to everyone.
"Teacher! Why are you here?" Chen Qingzhi, who was standing behind, looked at an elderly man in the utility room and said in shock.
"Is he Professor Qin Haifeng?"
Hearing Chen Qingzhi's words, Cao Xuan frowned and looked at the old man in the utility room.
At this moment, the old man was sitting in front of a pile of debris. In front of him, there was an old radio. It was the kind of radio that could record and play tapes. This kind of antique was only available in the last century.
An object that could only be seen in the 1980s and early 1990s.
Apart from these, there were only some worn-out furniture in the utility room. Cao Xuan took a cursory glance and found nothing of value.
"It's Qingzhi." The old man stood up from the ground and looked at Chen Qingzhi standing at the door with a kind smile on his face, "Why are you here?"
"Mentor, weren't you kidnapped?" Chen Qingzhi saw his mentor appear in the basement, his face full of confusion. According to his and Mr. Qin's speculation, his mentor was clearly captured by a group of unknown origins.
Someone had taken him away, so why would he appear alone in the basement of a unit building?
"Captured? No?" Qin Haifeng's face showed a look of surprise, "Who said that my mentor was captured? My mentor is not a big shot or a rich man. Why did they arrest me?"
"Then why am I in a coma and my mentor is missing?" Chen Qingzhi continued to ask.
During Chen Qingzhi's questioning, Qin Yu remained silent, with a smile on his face and squinting at Qin Haifeng. As for Cao Xuan, his eyes were still searching in the utility room without giving up.
"You fainted? I don't know when it happened?" Qin Haifeng had a look of surprise on his face, "When I was in the laboratory, I remembered that I had left something at home, so I came back to get it.
I saw you were lying on the table at that time, so I thought you were too tired to sleep, so I didn’t wake you up and drove back by myself."
"That's right." Chen Qingzhi had a look of realization on her face, but then she seemed to think of something again and glanced at Qin Yu, "But that corpse..."
"Okay, since Professor Qin is fine, it's just a false alarm." Qin Yu spoke, interrupting what Chen Qingzhi was about to say, and slowly walked to the middle of the utility room, Professor Qin Haifeng
in front of.
"Professor Qin, I heard some music earlier. Is it from this radio?" Qin Yu pointed to the radio at Qin Haifeng's feet and asked with a smile.
"Well, when I came to the utility room, I saw this radio. This radio was a commemorative gift I gave to my wife on our 30th wedding anniversary when my wife passed away. I was touched at that time.
I recalled, so I pressed the button of the radio, but I didn’t expect it to still work. As I listened, it reminded me of my wife, and I was fascinated by it." Qin Haifeng explained with a smile.
"So that's it." Qin Yu nodded and did not ask any more questions. Instead, he turned his attention to Cao Xuan and said to Professor Qin Haifeng: "Professor Qin, this is a comrade from the Public Security Bureau. We thought you were missing, so we
Report the case to the Public Security Bureau. Although Professor Qin is fine now, he still needs to record a statement with this informant."
When Cao Xuan heard Qin Yu's words, he reacted quickly and immediately said: "Yes, we have already filed a case before. Professor Qin, if it is convenient, why don't we go to your room to explain the details in this way?
Case closed.”
"No problem, just wait for me."
Professor Qin Haifeng nodded, took the radio in his hand, and then picked up a few other sundries, "Okay, we can go up now." (To be continued)
