But these relatively professional explanations not only didn’t comfort Xiao Gao but made her even more uncomfortable.
She didn’t understand why the dog barked at her.
Whether she looked like a dead person or her body smelled of rotten garbage was unacceptable to her.
No wonder her boyfriend’s parents looked at her with strange eyes!
Afterward, Xiao Gao took a bath several times, and her whole body smelled fragrant. She also asked her friends to confirm it repeatedly, and then she felt better and gradually forgot about it.
When Gu Zhisang mentioned it, she didn’t know why this incident suddenly appeared in her mind, and the more she thought about it, the more wrong it seemed.
Xiao He also hurriedly said: “I remember that you complained to me at that time! You also asked me to smell you several times to see if you had any smell.”
“But, but that happened more than half a month ago, and that person hadn’t jumped off the building yet.”
Xiao Gao, who was extremely panicked, also reacted after hearing what his friend said:
“Yes! It was before that!”
“Then it has nothing to do with this matter? But I can’t think of anything else…”
Gu Zhisang sneered: “Who said that the ‘ghost’ is the person who fell from the building with your roommate? The real ‘ghost’ has always existed in this house. From the moment you moved in, you have been eating and sleeping with it.”
The co-tenants: “?!!”
The audience: “?!!”
Looking around, the girls in this room were all full of corpse gas, as if corpse fog overflowed from their lungs.
Cats and dogs were spiritual creatures, and they were very sensitive to these things.
Not to mention the trained corpse-sniffing dogs that specialize in searching.
No wonder, Xiao Gao was barked as if she were a corpse as soon as she approached the retired police dog at her boyfriend’s house.
Xiao He felt cold all over and her nose was sore: “Master Gu, please don’t scare us!”
“We’ll know whether it’s a scare or not soon.” Gu Zhisang moved her lowered eyes away from the screen of her mobile phone: “It just so happens that the instigator is here. If you have any questions, you can ask her directly.”
Before the tenants could understand what she meant, the door was knocked again.
A voice came from outside: “Hello, we are police officers from the X City Police Station Brigade. There is a criminal case here. Please open the door and cooperate with the investigation.”
After opening the door, several plainclothes officers showed their ID cards to identify themselves.
Seeing the slightly embarrassed young woman who followed in, several tenants were surprised.
“Landlord?”
“Ms. Sun?”
Soon they realized from the embarrassing situation and expression of the young landlord that the other party seemed to be controlled by the police as a criminal.
Thinking of what Gu Zhisang had just said, ‘There is a ghost in this house’, the tenants looked at the young landlord again with more vigilance and suspicion.
The landlord surnamed Sun was a little angry, and said with uneasiness:
“What do you mean by this? You arrested me as if I were a criminal right away. I just went back to my house to take a look. What crime did I commit? That Gu Zhisang on the Internet said that there was something wrong with my house, and you believed it?”
But no one answered her.
Because the arrest order was issued directly by the superior.
It seemed that this Gu Zhisang had calculated that she would appear here in advance, and asked the police station to send people to squat at the gate of the community in advance.
Sure enough, they squatted at the gate of the community to see the landlord: Sun Yueyue.
The strange thing was that the other party didn’t come from outside, but went out from the community.
After detaining the person, the plainclothes took the person to the rental house.
Finally saw the person she wanted to see the most, Gu Zhisang carefully looked at the woman’s face, and his eyes became colder and colder.
She suddenly smiled: “Miss Sun, since you live in this community and saw my helper coming here, why don’t you come to clarify, but pack up and leave instead.”
Everyone’s eyes moved to Sun Yueyue and found that she was indeed wearing a hat, dressed neatly, and carrying a large bag, looking like she was going to run away.
When they heard that she also had a property in this community and had lived not far from the rental place, everyone thought a lot more and became more suspicious of her.
Xiao He suddenly said: “Sister Yueyue, didn’t you say that this place is too far from your studio, and you don’t live here all year round, so you rent out the house?”
Xiao Gao also thought of something that was not in line with common sense: “Yes, you often send us things…”
Speaking of which, Sun Yueyue was rich and free. Although she is the landlord, she often cares about whether they live comfortably and whether the home appliances are easy to use. Sometimes she even comes to their door to send them some food, saying that the studio has too many gift boxes bought as employee benefits and can’t send them all, so she gives them some.
When the tenants here mentioned Sun Yueyue, they all lamented that she was a beautiful, rich, kind-hearted wealthy angel.
It was their blessing to meet such a landlord.
But now think about it, why was Sun Yueyue so good to them?
Is there such a good and considerate landlord in the world?
Sun Yueyue’s face was a little ugly: “My own house, I can buy it wherever I want, live in it whenever I want, and leave whenever I want, is there any problem?”
“You are controlling me now and saying that there is a ghost in my house, it’s nonsense! Is there any law?”
“Ms. Sun, don’t worry.” Gu Zhisang said slowly and added: “Officer Zhao, do you still have the surveillance footage of the tenant falling from the building before?”
The leading plainclothes police officer heard this and responded: “Yes, we have copied it in our station.”
“Please help me retrieve it, I want to see it.” Gu Zhisang said.
The local police station acted quickly and sent the surveillance video over soon.
The video was not long, and because the public area was only the living room, the location of the filming was not very wide.
Seeing the surveillance video of the boy walking straight to the window, moving the stool by himself, squeezing out of the small hole of the skylight, and falling from the building, several tenants were horrified.
Yuan Yufang turned her head away and dared not look. The other two new tenants also saw this weird surveillance video for the first time, and their scalps tingled.
Sun Yueyue couldn’t hold back: “He committed suicide by himself, what’s the problem? What does it have to do with me?”
Gu Zhisang ignored her: “Officer Zhao, please return the surveillance to the beginning.”
“Yes.”
The picture was frozen at the moment when the tenant just appeared in the surveillance.
Gu Zhisang said: “I learned about the situation from the local police in advance, and also got the internal map of this house, and looked at the location of each of your bedrooms.”
Everyone was confused.
Gu Zhisang then said: “Look carefully at the position and angle of this person in the surveillance. According to the internal map, if he walked from his bedroom to the living room and fell from the building, he should appear in the upper right corner of the surveillance – because the space extends outward, and his bedroom in the upper right corner.”
“But in the picture, this person appeared from the middle of the surveillance and walked straight to the skylight in the living room.”
Officer Zhao understood at once: “Miss Gu is saying that he went to other rooms before his death and came out of other people’s rooms?!”
Gu Zhisang shrugged slightly: “It should be like this.”
“The layout of the house is that the living room is in the center, and the other rooms extend directly in all directions. There are no corridors or aisles to block this person’s steps. If he walked out of his bedroom, I can’t think of any reason for him to walk forward first. He walks to the door of the other room, and then turns and walks to the living room window.”
Officer Zhao immediately said: “But we checked every room after the incident and found no traces left.”
Gu Zhisang pulled the corner of her lip: “Not finding anything doesn’t mean it doesn’t exist.”
After all, there were ghosts and monsters in this world, and there were always some people who would break the rules for the sake of profit and do all kinds of things.
“I understand.” Officer Zhao said and walked straight to the room where the fallen person went before in the surveillance, which was the master bedroom: “Sorry, we need to recheck all the rooms in this house.”
“If possible, please help us ‘look’ Miss Gu.”
This look, of course, was not to see ordinary things, but whether there are ‘unusual’ existences.
Seeing the direction where the police officer was heading, Sun Yueyue’s eyelids jumped and she was completely panicked.
