Zhong Qiu had disappeared.
The first person to discover this was the girl who shared the same room as Zhong Qiu, Li Biqiong. They were all single women who worked hard in this city and rented this house together. Although they lived together, they didn't have a deep relationship.
Zhong Qiu always returned home later than Li Biqiong, and it was usually when Li Biqiong had finished washing up and was about to go to bed to rest. This made Li Biqiong develop a conditioned reflex and develop an unconscious habit. She could only fall asleep peacefully after hearing the sound of Zhong Qiu closing the door.
However, since last week, Li Biqiong had not heard the sound of Zhong Qiu closing the door. Because of this, she had insomnia for several consecutive nights. When her colleagues laughed at her panda eyes, she felt bitter.
It was the weekend, but Zhong Qiu still hadn't returned. Li Biqiong had also gradually gotten used to the life of not listening to the sound of the door closing. After Li Biqiong had her first good night's sleep in a week, she began to feel that something was wrong. The first question she thought about was why Zhong Qiu hadn't returned to his room for a week.
Li Biqiong found the landlord and asked him if he had seen Zhong Qiu. The landlord said that he had not seen her for a week. Hence, Li Biqiong told the landlord that she suspected that Zhong Qiu had gone missing and wanted to call the police.
The landlord advised her not to call the police. He said that they were all adults. Zhong Qiu might have gone somewhere and would come back naturally. There was no need to get into trouble.
Li Biqiong considered it for a long time and finally called the police. When the police arrived, they first asked the landlord to find a copy of the ID card that Zhong Qiu had handed in when he rented the house. Then, they handed it to Li Biqiong to let her identify if the missing Zhong Qiu was the same person on the ID card.
Li Biqiong tried hard to identify it for a long time before shaking her head. Although the ID card was very blurry, Li Biqiong was sure that the person on the ID card was not her roommate, Zhong Qiu.
Following that, the police's interrogation reached a stalemate. The landlord insisted that the woman who shared the apartment with Li Biqiong was the person on the ID card, but Li Biqiong denied it outright.
When the police continued to ask Li Biqiong about the missing person's appearance and other information, she began to recall the information about Zhong Qiu in her mind. Only then did she realize that she knew too little about Zhong Qiu.
However, Zhong Qiu was definitely not the person on the ID card. She was very sure of this. In the end, the police had no choice but to bring Li Biqiong and the landlord back to the police station to give their statements.
After she was done with her statement, Li Biqiong walked out of the police station. She suddenly remembered that she had left her bag at the police station, so she turned around and went back to get it. As soon as she entered the lobby of the police station, she saw the landlord rushing out in a daze.
" Why did you…" She pulled the landlord back and asked.
The landlord ignored her and broke free from her hand and ran out.
Li Biqiong found it strange, but she didn't think too much about it. She walked to the door of the office where the statement was made and heard the sound of two people arguing. She stood at the door and hesitated. Should she go in?
"The landlord must have mistaken her for someone else. The woman on the ID card has been dead for nearly a year.”
"Then who would pretend to be a dead person and share a room with another woman for such a long time?”
"Logically speaking, it shouldn't be, unless the landlord saw a ghost.”
"Watch your words!"
"I was just joking, hehe…"
Li Biqiong was no longer in the mood to listen to the rest of the sentence.”His joke made her scalp tingle.
The person who once lived under the same roof as him was actually a ghost?!
Li Biqiong stumbled back home and rushed into the house. She didn't even notice that the door was open. When she entered the room, she realized that there was someone in the room. She was so frightened that she staggered and almost fell to the ground.
She calmed herself down and saw that the person sitting in the living room was the landlord!
"What are you doing here?" Li Biqiong roared angrily.
"We've encountered a ghost!" the landlord said weakly.”
" What?!"
"The police just checked that ID card. It was an ID card that should have been revoked a long time ago. The owner of the ID card died a year ago! When I came back, I quickly went to see the rent she paid, but I found out…"
The landlord waved the stack of colorful papers in his hand and said word by word,"It's all Underworld Coins!"
Li Biqiong asked her friend to rent a new house as soon as possible and moved out. Of course, the landlord wouldn't refund the rent and deposit that she had paid in advance, but Li Biqiong couldn't care less about these things.
A few months later, Li Biqiong was walking on the street when she was suddenly stopped by a woman. She felt that the woman looked familiar, but she couldn't remember who she was.
"I'm really sorry for disturbing your rest when we lived together in the past. Do you still live there? Was she living alone or sharing a room with someone else?”The woman said as she held Li Biqiong's hand.
Li Biqiong's mind exploded with a buzz. Wasn't this Zhong Qiu?
"You…"
"I got married and moved away. I wanted to treat you to wedding candies, but every time I go back, you're resting, so I asked the landlord to leave a bag of wedding candies for you.”
"Wedding candy?" Li Biqiong didn't understand Zhong Qiu's words at all. She was in a daze.
"You didn't eat it? The landlord must have embezzled. That guy loves to take small profits. When I canceled the rent, he was not happy at all. He kept nagging that he could only charge one person's rent. He lost so much!”
