"The minister is not in the corridor on the fourth floor. He must be hiding in a certain room. He is probably paying attention to his surroundings."
"This guy doesn't dare to play tricks and has a weird style of doing things. I have to be more cautious."
Chen Ge didn't know if the subject had obtained any information about himself from the middle-aged man, and he couldn't care so much. He thought that while the subject hadn't moved, he would quickly go see Miss Hong and find as many helpers as possible.
With the support of the lady in the skirt, Chen Ge came to the corner of the stairs on the fourth and fifth floors. There was a faint smell in the air, and there were some water stains under his shoes.
"Why did you stop suddenly?" Chen Ge asked in a low voice. He was walking up, but the lady in the skirt who was supporting his arm suddenly stopped moving.
Chen Ge couldn't see anything. After noticing something unusual about the lady in the skirt, he immediately became nervous.
My ears vaguely heard the girl singing, as if coming from a broken music box, intermittently, the sound was so weird that it was indescribable.
"Has anyone come here? Go to the fifth floor first, don't stay here!" Chen Ge had a very bad feeling. He could tell that the singing was coming from the fifth floor, and he was worried that the sound would confuse the subject.
Give it here.
"Someone just passed by on the fifth floor, and there was no sound at all while walking." The lady in the skirt said in a strange tone: "Did I see it wrong?"
"Wait a minute! Music box? A girl's singing? A figure walking without sound? Couldn't that be Ying Tong you just saw?" Chen Ge knew that in reality there was a broken music box on the table in Ying Tong's bedroom.
"Then should we chase him?" the woman asked.
"No, something's not right." Chen Ge grabbed the backpack harder with his fingers: "If I were Ying Tong, I would definitely not let the music box make any sound when I ran away. Isn't this deliberately exposing my position?"
"It is also possible that he accidentally touched the music box, causing the music box to suddenly sound."
"I have been to Ying Chen's home, and the music box was placed in Ying Tong's bedroom. If Ying Tong did not come home, the person holding the music box must not be Ying Tong!" Chen Ge broke into cold sweat: "Lou
There is another person inside helping Ying Tong! He is walking around with a music box to attract attention! That bastard may have guessed that someone else is looking for Ying Tong!"
The subject is very smart, but Chen Ge is also very perceptive, and both parties can detect problems from the tiniest details.
"Do you know anyone in this building who has a particularly good relationship with the subject? Someone who the subject can trust unconditionally?"
"There are many residents who have a good relationship with Yingchen. By the way, Yingchen is very popular with children, and the children are willing to play with him."
"Liked by children?"
"Well, Ying Chen has a very good character. He also likes to play games with the children and occasionally buys them some toys and candies."
"Is that figure that just passed by a child?"
"It's a bit like it. She's very short and makes no sound when walking. I almost thought I saw it wrong." The woman breathed a sigh of relief. She also slowly discovered that the residential building tonight was different from usual: "We have to go to the sixth floor.
Floor?"
"Of course I want to go, but when you pass by the fifth floor, pay attention to see if there is anyone else in the corridor." Chen Ge squatted down and touched the water stains on the ground: "The water stains are about to dry up. It doesn't look like a response.
The water I deliberately sprinkled was used to preserve the shoe prints."
"You are too careful. Maybe Aunt Wu just cleaned it."
"How can you be sure it was Aunt Wu who cleaned it?" Chen Ge heard a new name from the woman's mouth - Aunt Wu.
"She is the cleaner of our building. She is very responsible. She cleans the whole building every morning and evening." The lady in the skirt said casually: "You don't suspect that Aunt Wu is helping the subject, right?"
Chen Ge didn't speak, he was thinking about something else.
Although the community where Ying Chen and Ying Tong live is very shabby now, it was the most luxurious community in the old city many years ago. This can be seen from the fact that the building was equipped with an elevator so early.
Aunt Wu is responsible for cleaning the building. This is not a big deal. The problem is that she also appears in Ying Tong's world behind the door. This cleaner may have been killed by Ying Tong in reality, just like the lady in the skirt and Mr. Wood.
But there is another possibility. Aunt Wu may have done something to Ying Tong that caused him to have a deep memory.
Chen Ge had many speculations in his mind. Aunt Wu might have helped Ying Tong escape, or it was possible that Aunt Wu was the one who tipped Ying Chen off.
"How is the relationship between Aunt Wu and the minister?"
"It's bad. Aunt Wu often quarrels with Ying Tong. She hates cats and feels that Ying Tong always picks up some dirty stray cats, which increases her workload of cleaning." The woman added after a while: "
By the way, one time during a private chat, Aunt Wu said that the subject had a sour smell, just like cat meat that had been left out for a long time."
His brain was running rapidly, and Chen Ge connected the known information together. "This place has just been cleaned, which means Aunt Wu has been here before. Immediately after Aunt Wu, the short figure holding a music box appeared. The music box was in the room.
At home, I guess Ying Chen asked the short figure to hold a music box to test Aunt Wu, and Ying Chen suspected that the person who entered his house was Aunt Wu!"
"Although I didn't quite understand what you said, I feel like what you said makes sense." The lady in the skirt noticed that Chen Ge's speech was very organized, at least that's what it sounded like at first glance.
"Yingchen doesn't know my existence. It's normal for him to suspect Aunt Wu." The world behind the door is woven based on Ying Tong's memory. The rules of this world are Ying Tong's memory. Ying Tong can use it if she wants to escape.
There are only those people and things in the memory, but on this day Chen Ge entered the world behind the door, and he was the only exception.
When the two parties were communicating, they had already reached the fifth floor. The ground here was also a bit slippery. Aunt Wu had just cleaned it.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "There is no one in the corridor on the fifth floor, let's go to the sixth floor?"
"Don't be anxious. Check to see if there are any shoe prints on the ground. Look carefully." Chen Ge pressed his body against the wall. He had basically adapted to the darkness and overcome his physical discomfort.
"Shoe prints?" The woman let go of Chen Ge's arm. She seemed to have entered the corridor and took a look: "There are indeed them!"
"Keep your voice down, how many people's shoe prints are on the ground?"
"This kind of shoe print should belong to Aunt Wu. She likes to wear cloth shoes. The other kind of sandal shoe print may belong to the children in the building."
"It seems that our guess is good. Look at the direction of the toe of the shoe prints to determine where they went." Chen Ge couldn't see them, so he could only rely on the lady in the skirt for help.
"Aunt Wu has more shoe prints. She seems to have been lingering at the door of the cleaning cabinet for a long time, probably to get tools. In addition, the sandal shoe prints are always facing in one direction, and the owner of the shoe prints should be following Aunt Wu," the woman said.
Wan added: "There is no one on the fifth floor now, will they go to the sixth floor?"
"Wandering near the cleaning cabinet? Normally, aren't the utility rooms for cleaning staff all on the first floor? Wouldn't it be inconvenient to put their cleaning tools on the fifth floor?" Chen Ge recalled going to Ying Chen's house.
In the scene, he had the impression that there were no cleaning cabinets on the fifth floor.
"The developer seems to be planning to build a model community, allowing the property management to prepare cleaning cabinets for owners on each floor, which contain daily cleaning tools, ropes and fire-fighting equipment."
"It sounds fine, but why did Aunt Wu linger in front of the cleaning cabinet on the fifth floor?" Chen Ge grabbed the woman's arm: "Is that cleaning cabinet locked?"
"No."
"Go over and open the cabinet door and take a look. I suspect Aunt Wu may have hidden something in the cleaning cabinet."
The woman helped Chen Ge to the cleaning cabinet. She gently pulled the cabinet door: "Huh?"
"What's wrong?"
"It can't be opened. It seems like something is stuck inside."
"It's not locked and it can't be opened?" Chen Ge suddenly thought of something. He whispered into the cleaning cabinet: "Ying Tong? Are you in there? I know your brother is a perverted murderer and likes to torture cats.
I'm here to help you escape this building!"
"What are you talking about to the air?" Just as the lady in the skirt finished saying this, there was a sudden soft sound from the cleaning cabinet, as if someone had taken off the top of the door: "Who is in there?"
The cupboard door opened, and the lady in the skirt took a breath of cool air.
"What did you see? Tell me about it?" Chen Ge urged in a low voice.
"Ying, Ying Tong is shrinking in the cabinet! Why is he hiding here!" The woman was very surprised and her voice became a little louder.
"Ying Tong?" Although Chen Ge was mentally prepared, he knew that Ying Tong must be hiding somewhere in this building, but he never expected to meet him so early: "It seems that I am lucky this time."
"Who are you...? Did Aunt Wu tell you that I am here?" Ying Tong's voice was a little numb, like a robot, without any emotion.
"I'm here to help you leave. I know your brother's true face, and he will definitely receive the punishment he deserves." Chen Ge took a step forward, and his hand touched Ying Tong's shoulder. He used his fingers to
Gently caressing Ying Tong's face, her fingertips touched the uneven scar.
"Am I scary?" Ying Tong's voice came from in front of Chen Ge.
"I'm blind and can't see your face, but I know you have a strong and kind heart and a very smart and calm mind."
Ordinary children would probably go crazy if they encountered a situation like Ying Tong's, but Ying Tong didn't. He was always looking for opportunities to escape and never gave up.
Although the two brothers have very different personalities, they are both very smart. To a certain extent, it can be said that both of them are scary.
Chen Ge remembered Ying Tong's appearance. In order to gain Ying Tong's trust, he grabbed Ying Tong's hand and put it on his face: "My name is Chen Ge. From now on, you are no longer alone. No matter in the end
No matter what the outcome is, I will always be with you."
No one had ever said this to Ying Tong. That Aunt Wu was probably helping Ying Tong secretly, but she didn't dare to give Ying Tong any guarantee.
Chen Ge touched Ying Tong's face with his hands, and also touched what Ying Tong was holding. The child was carrying a big bag with a ball in it, and something that looked like a flashlight.
"What's in your bag?"
"Aunt Wu didn't believe what I said, so I showed her something, and then she believed it."
"what?"
"A brother made football."
There was a rustling sound in her ears, Ying Tong opened the bag, and the lady in the skirt looked into the bag curiously.
"Heads!"
Fear filled her heart, and the lady in the skirt was frightened at that moment, and her voice was a little loud.
"Keep your voice down! We can't stay here anymore. Go to the sixth floor immediately! Let Ying Tong meet A Ying!" All Chen Ge's guesses were proven when Ying Tong saw A Ying. He couldn't wait now.
Already.
The lady in the skirt supported Chen Ge and Ying Tong on the left and right, and the three of them re-entered the corridor. But when they reached the corner of the fifth and sixth floors, the old elevator in the floor suddenly made a noise.
"The elevator started! Someone took the elevator upstairs! Is it because the minister heard the sound?"
The word "head" was too clear, and Chen Ge was a little worried now.
He stopped and his face gradually turned ugly. The elevator stopped on the fifth floor, and then a faint meowing sound was heard.
"It's the subject!"
The cat's meowing didn't get louder instantly. The subject should still be near the elevator, but it was certain that he had already reached the fifth floor.
"hurry up."
It was easy for the three of them to make noise together, but Chen Ge had no other choice but to stay away as much as possible.
"Go to Miss Hong's house and hide in her house first!"
The cat's meowing never changed. The lady in the skirt helped Ying Tong and Chen Ge to the sixth floor, where they stopped in front of Miss Hong's room.
"Don't knock on the door to avoid making noise. Call her or send a message and ask her to open the door."
"But I didn't bring my cell phone."
While the two were talking, the sound of a girl singing came from the corridor on the other side, and the man with the broken music box went upstairs!
The meowing of a cat can warn the minister, but it cannot warn others. There are helpers from the minister in the building, which is a very bad thing for Chen Ge who can't see anything.
"what to do?"
Time is running out, and there is a 50% chance that a knock on the door will attract the subject. If Miss Hong opens the door slowly, Chen Ge and the others are likely to be caught by the subject, and the subject's helpers are also coming here.
While walking.
"Go back to the left corridor first." The plan had to change. When Chen Ge and the others were walking towards the left corridor, a cat meowed suddenly, and the distance between the subject and them was slowly getting closer!
"That guy heard what he said just now!" Chen Ge gritted his teeth. He found that the subject was really difficult to deal with. This bastard had suffered a loss once, so this time he specially found someone to go upstairs with him.
If you turn right, you will be seen no matter which corridor you enter!
Cat meows reached my ears, and the sound gradually became distorted and harsh. The three of them were now standing at the corridor entrance on the left side of the sixth floor, and the subject might be in the corridor at this time.
"I made the sound. He should only be looking for me. You go to the seventh floor to hide, and I will stop Ying Tong." The lady in the skirt took the initiative to enter the corridor and walked towards the fifth floor. Chen Ge also held Ying Tong's hand.
Entering the corridor, he and Ying Tong were quietly walking to the seventh floor.
