Zhong Shu didn't expect the Shen family to be in the garden villa community, just like Fang Qingdi's, and not far from the Fang family.
"This is the place." Zhong Shu looked at the door number and said to Wu Tong. His son's unintentional words made Zhong Shu decide to start with Shen Qisheng. Soon, he found the address.
This was a white European-style villa. The surrounding flowers and plants were shady, and even the air seemed to be fragrant.
Their arrival attracted the attention of a servant. It was a country girl who was less than twenty years old. She walked out and asked them who they were looking for.
"Is Shen Qisheng at home?" Zhong Shu asked.
"He's not here. You are…"
"Oh, we're from the police station."
The little girl's expression changed drastically. At this moment, a woman walked out of the villa. She was dressed luxuriously and it was obvious that she was the owner of the villa.
"Little Zhou, you may leave!" She said with a dignified expression. Her temperament and demeanor were like that of a supreme ruler.
"You're Shen Qisheng's wife, right?”
"Yes, are you the police?"
Zhong Shu nodded." Yes, we want to find Shen Qisheng to understand the situation.”
"Come in." The woman's curly hair danced on her shoulders.
The living room was surprisingly luxurious, but because it occupied too much space, it seemed a little deserted.
After they sat down, Xiao Zhou brought a drink and went down.
"Is Shen Qisheng home?" Zhong Shu asked directly.”
"He's busy with his business all day. Who knows where he's gone to fool around again.”
Zhong Shu knew that this woman was called Lin Danni. She seemed to be very dissatisfied with her husband.
"Busy with business outside?" Zhong Shu probed.
"God knows what he's busy with. It seems like there are countless houses in Guangming City waiting for him to build.”
"Is he in the construction industry?"
"A contractor who extorts money."
When Wu Tong heard this, she thought to herself, No wonder the Lin family is so luxurious. It turns out that they have a husband who knows how to make money.
"Do you have any other houses outside?”Zhong Shu kept staring at his eyes, hoping to read some information from his eyes.
Lin Danni was obviously stunned for a moment. Her expression was very complicated as she asked in confusion,"Who did you hear that from?"
"I was just asking."
She shook her head and said with a cold expression,"No, I haven't."
"Has he been at home recently?”
"Yes, I am." Lin Danni's face started to turn red.
"Alright, in that case, we'll wait for him here. We have something important to look for him about.”Zhong Shu deliberately glanced at Wu Tong and raised his voice.
Lin Danni was a little flustered and restless.
Zhong Shu secretly observed her reaction from the side.
"Actually, he hasn't been home.”Lin Danni finally admitted.
"Where are we going?" Zhong Shu chased after him.
"I'm not too sure either. He has a close relationship with a real estate boss called Ding Dahai.”
"Who is Ding Dahai?"
"I have his business card." Lin Danni handed him a business card.
Zhong Shu took it and looked at it.
It turned out that Ding Dahai was the general manager of Tianqiao Real Estate Development Corporation.
Tianqiao Real Estate Development Corporation could be said to be the leader of the city's real estate industry. It turned out that Shen Qisheng had close ties with him.
"How many days has it been since he came home?" Zhong Shu asked as he kept the business card.
"About a month and a half. Qisheng…Did something happen to him?”Lin Danni suddenly paled and asked.
"I can't say for the time being, but there will be results soon.”
Due to certain considerations, Zhong Shu left his phone number and asked for a photo of Shen Qisheng. He told her that when Shen Qisheng came back, she must make him call him.
However, when he got Shen Qisheng's photo, his eyes suddenly lit up. He hurriedly took out the photo of the man in black at the scene and compared the two.
The victim in the photo was Shen Qisheng!
Lin Danni saw that Zhong Shu's expression was different and quickly asked,""Officer, is there something wrong?"
"It's nothing." Zhong Shu kept the photo and answered calmly. Then, he left the Shen family with Wu Tong.
"Could that dead person really be Shen Qisheng?”After leaving the Shen family, Wu Tong saw the photo Zhong Shu handed over and immediately widened his eyes.
Zhong Shu fell into deep thought. If the man in black was really Shen Qisheng, then Lin Danni was obviously lying. But how could Li Tong explain when she saw the building leader dressed in black?
For some reason, Zhong Shu turned back to look at the Shen residence and saw Lin Danni standing motionlessly on the steps at the door, watching them leave.
Walking in the dark was indeed something that required courage. Fortunately, Lin Danni was used to it.
There were many things she did not understand about Shen Qisheng. There were too many secrets between her and Shen Qisheng. Those secrets were like walls that kept them apart.
Three years ago, Shen Qisheng had been lying to her. Although she couldn't find any evidence, she knew that he must be hiding something from her from his restless eyes and his occasional sighs.
In the beginning, Shen Qisheng only entered and left the house secretly. He never told her where he went. When he was really annoyed by her questions, he replied that he went to find Ding Dahai for a drink.
The number of times Shen Qisheng went home became fewer and fewer. Finally, a year ago, he told her that he could not go home anymore. Every time, he told her to send food, and to prepare water and dry food for a few days at a time. The place where they were sent was the ghostly six-story building that he had built three years ago.
Shen Qisheng found it even more strange. Every time they met in that room, they would always wear black clothes and a black hat. Moreover, they would lock themselves in the room all day.
She asked him if he was sick. Why did he have to stay here for no reason?
Shen Qisheng did not say anything. He only told her not to say anything that she should not say and not to ask anything that she should not ask.
She was afraid, so she didn't ask any more questions. She just sent food over every few days.
Lin Danni thought that her husband must have contracted some strange disease. Otherwise, a living person wouldn't have sealed himself in that room all day long.
She felt that something was wrong and was afraid that something had really happened to her husband. Fortunately, he finally came back last night.
After waiting for a year, this strange man who had made her worry and worry finally appeared in front of her.
Last night, she was dreaming of meeting Shen Qisheng when she was suddenly awakened by a sharp scream. She thought it was an illusion brought by her dream, but when she listened carefully, she realized that it was not a dream. Someone was talking in the living room downstairs.
She walked out of the room and saw the person sitting in the living room downstairs. She felt a buzzing sound in her head.
It was a man wrapped in a black coat and wearing a black top hat. He looked like a magician, but the brim of the hat was very low, so only his chin could be seen. His eyes were completely covered by the brim of the hat.
Little Zhou looked at him with fear and trepidation, trembling at the side.
She was the one who had screamed just now. At this moment, she was looking at her mistress in fear, as if waiting for her to give an order.
" You are..." Her voice was trembling.
"It's me."
It was Shen Qisheng! So he really came back.
It had been a year, and the man she loved and hated had finally returned home.
Lin Danni didn't know how she got down the stairs, but she stood in front of him like she was sleepwalking and asked excitedly,""Qisheng, is that really you?"
Xiao Zhou walked away quietly with fear.
Shen Qisheng did not answer her. He sat on the sofa silently like a statue.
Lin Danni walked over to him. For a moment, she seemed to be at a loss, and tears flowed out unconsciously.
Shen Qisheng turned his face away coldly so that he couldn't see his eyes.
After a long time, Lin Danni stopped sobbing. She looked at her husband who was dressed in black and didn't know what to say. She asked,"Have you eaten? I'll ask Little Zhou to make you something to eat."
"No need, I've already eaten." he said coldly. His body did not move, and a rotten smell gradually spread around him.
Lin Danni smelled the disgusting smell. She couldn't believe that this smell came from Shen Qisheng's body.
In the past, he always exuded the charm of a mature man, but today, he was like a hungry ghost who had just crawled out of the grave.
At this moment, Shen He came downstairs, rubbing his eyes. He was woken up by their conversation.
Shen He was very afraid of this ghost-like man in black. He hid behind Lin Danni and looked at him carefully.
"Xiao He, go over and call daddy."
Shen He looked hesitantly at the person whose face was covered, as if he was looking at a scary stranger. He called out " Dad " hesitantly, his voice so soft that it seemed to come out of his nose.
Shen Qisheng glanced at him, but his head moved a little. Then, his throat rolled and made a soft sound.
"I need a sum of money." He didn't have to be affectionate with his son like other fathers.
Lin Danni was stunned. A terrifying thought appeared in her mind.
Did he have some terminal illness? Otherwise, why was he dressed so strangely? Could it be that he wanted money to treat his illness?
The stench rushed towards her again, and her voice trembled even more.""How much do you want?"
"Two hundred thousand."
"Just you wait." Lin Danni quickly ran upstairs. After a while, she handed him a passbook." Here's 500,000 yuan. Take it first. The password is your birthday."”
Shen Qisheng took it silently, but it was impossible to see the expression on his face.
"Qisheng, don't you miss this family?”Lin Danni felt like her heart was about to break, and tears were about to fall again.
"I can't return here for the time being. I have my reasons. Also, don't forget that if anyone asks about me, don't say that I've been back.”
Shen Qisheng's answer could not quell her resentment no matter what. Although they often quarreled over small matters when they first got married, she had never despised him. He was also a man with a strong sense of enterprise. In a very short period of time, he had accumulated a large amount of wealth. As a contractor, although he sometimes owed his workers wages, he was still a good man. However, Shen Qisheng today felt very unfamiliar to her.
Shen Qisheng kept the passbook and said,""I'm leaving." Then, she left without looking back.
After Shen Qisheng left, Lin Danni laid on the sofa and cried, her shoulders twitching.
The two police officers who came this morning made her vaguely realize that something had happened to Shen Qisheng. She was really worried, so she quietly came to the front of the building in this terrifying dark night.
A cold wind blew, bringing with it some raindrops. It was raining.
Lin Danni raised her head to look at the sky, but she couldn't see anything clearly. She quickened her pace, but the sky suddenly changed. The rain became heavier, drenching her whole body. She hurriedly ran.
She still could not understand why her husband did not allow her to take the car and had to walk here every time.
The sound of the rain became louder and louder, and the entire world rumbled like a huge slightly.
Her heart tightened and she hastened her pace. At this moment, she heard the sound of a bicycle behind her and the faint sound of someone talking.
She looked back and saw a shadow coming towards her in the rain. The dim yellow street lights made the shadow look very unreal.
Fortunately, the building was right in front of her, so she rushed in.
"I think I saw someone go in just now.”Li Tong said uneasily.
"It's not like we're the only ones living here.”Wu Tong said indifferently.
"If I knew it would rain, I wouldn't have called you.”Li Tong hid in front of the door and twisted her clothes. She was drenched.
"Hehe, if you're so kind, I'll really burn incense and thank the heavens.”
"Stop being so mischievous." Li Tong rolled her eyes at him. Suddenly, she stopped in her tracks and stared blankly at Room 1.
"What's wrong?" Wu Tong parked the car and walked over.
"Look."
Following Li Tong's gaze, Wu Tong saw a clear footprint on the door of Room 1, indicating that someone had just entered.
"So there really is someone living here." Li Tong stared at the door in horror, as if a pair of bloodshot eyes were hiding behind the peephole.
"Let's go home." Wu Tong took out the key to open the door. His body seemed to be wrapped in ice.
As soon as she entered the door, Li Tong was stunned for a while. She looked at the living room and muttered to herself,"It seems like someone came in."
Wu Tong took a look. The things in the room seemed to have been touched by someone. Logically speaking, the door was locked well, and there was no trace of the window being opened. How could someone have come in? What was especially puzzling was that if the person who came in was not for money, why?
"I stayed at home all day and there was nothing unusual. I guess someone might have come in while I was picking you up.”Wu Tong whispered.
"But…how did you get in?”
"Don't worry about it. Anyway, let's see if anything is missing. If it's not, then don't worry. Maybe it's just our illusion.”Although Wu Tong said so, he didn't believe that it was just an illusion.
Wu Tong had just turned on his computer when he heard Li Tong's voice. He hurriedly ran over and asked anxiously,"What's wrong?"
"There's someone in the kitchen!" Li Tong's eyes were wide open in horror as she looked over, her body trembling.
"I'll go take a look." Wu Tong hugged her shoulders tightly.
He turned on the light and looked inside. There was no one inside.
He breathed a sigh of relief and said to her,"You're too nervous. Maybe there's someone next door."”
As if they had run into a dark and evil curse, the two of them looked at each other and suddenly stopped talking because they really heard someone talking next door.
Wu Tong turned around and looked at the wall. He couldn't help but recall the story of the ghost that lived there. He couldn't help but feel his heart palpitate. He hurriedly patted his chest to hide it.
"Let's go. It's okay now." Wu Tong pretended to be relaxed. Just as he held Li Tong's hand, he let go again.
The woman's scream just now was like a sharp sword cutting through the calm night sky.
"Next door." Li Tong said in horror, staring at Wu Tong with wide eyes.
Suddenly, there was a violent knock on the door. It was more like a knock on the door.
Li Tong was shocked.
"Don't panic. I'll go out and take a look." Wu Tong mustered his courage to open the door. When he saw that it was Zhong Shu, he was relieved.
"Were you the ones who made that scream just now?”Zhong Shu asked anxiously.
"No, it's the room next door." Wu Tong pointed at Room 1. He felt his breathing quicken.
Zhong Shu saw Li Tong standing in the living room with a haggard face, as if she had just suffered a fatal blow.
"There's really someone next door," Li Tong said fearfully.”
Zhong Shu suddenly ran back home. When he came out again, he had a thin iron wire in his hand. He wanted to use this thing to open the door.
Wu Tong watched anxiously and fearfully as Zhong Shu opened the door. Suddenly, he felt darkness behind him. Zhong Shu and Li Tong also realized that the situation was not right. They turned around to look and exclaimed at the same time.
The light in Room 2 went out.
Wu Tong had an ominous feeling. He hurriedly ran back to his home and suddenly smelled the smell of death again.
Where was it?
This smell had confused and excited him time and time again, but he could not find its source.
"There's someone at home!" Li Tong pointed at the room and shouted.
"Where is it?" Wu Tong hurriedly turned to look at her.
Li Tong could no longer speak. Following the direction of her finger, Wu Tong saw a shadow in the corner. He hurriedly turned on the light, but he stood rooted to the ground like a wooden stake.
It was just a raincoat.
Shen Qisheng's time of death was a week ago. There was mild decay, and there were two fatal wounds on his abdomen caused by sharp weapons such as daggers.
Since there were no clues left at the scene, and it was in a house that had been deserted for a long time, his death was particularly confusing.
Zhong Shu's mood became particularly heavy after listening to his good friend Li Ming's call.
It turned out that the ghost that had been appearing in the building was actually a ghost that had been dead for a week. He felt a chill creeping up his spine.
At this moment, Wu Tong, who was sitting opposite him, suddenly froze. The bell tree also trembled.
There was a commotion outside the window. They walked into the kitchen and looked out. It turned out that someone was moving out again.
"Another one left." Zhong Shu was a little confused. Facing such a dangerous environment, it was only a matter of time for everyone to move.
"Is it really that scary?" Wu Tong thought of his current situation and suddenly felt as if a lifetime had passed. This feeling was especially strong when he was in high school.
It was during a class reunion. In fact, it was a farewell party for a classmate who was going to transfer to another school. For some reason, Wu Tong had a vague feeling that this classmate would never come back. Looking at the faces of every classmate, it was a foretelling that they were about to leave the school one after another. In the end, he would be the only one left.
This kind of psychological feeling had once made him feel at a loss, making him cherish the friendship between his classmates, but there were still many people in his life who had been lost forever.
Suddenly, the phone on Zhong Shu's waist rang, which startled Wu Tong, who was concentrating on something.
Zhong Shu smiled apologetically and took out his phone." Hello…"
Wu Tong noticed that his face was gradually changing. He didn't say anything until the end."Alright, I'll be there immediately!"
"What happened?" Wu Tong felt uneasy.
"We don't know yet. We'll rush over immediately.”
"Where are we going?"
"Shen family."
Shen family
Just this morning, when Xiao Zhou woke up as usual and wanted to go to the master's bedroom to clean, he realized that the bedroom door was locked. She thought that Lin Danni had been too tired these past few days, so she didn't wake her up.
Since Shen He still had to go to school, she prepared breakfast for him and prepared to send him to school.
"Why isn't Mommy coming down for dinner?" Shen He asked Xiao Zhou when he realized that he was the only one eating. He usually ate with Lin Danni.
Xiao Zhou had no choice but to say,"Your mother has been too tired these past few days. She's still sleeping. Don't disturb her." I'll send you to school after you finish eating.”
" She watches TV at home every night," Shen He mumbled." She doesn't even let me go over. How can she be tired?"”
Xiao Zhou didn't say anything. After sending Shen He to school, he wanted to go upstairs to take a look.
Lin Danni's bedroom door was still locked, so she could only wait downstairs. However, she couldn't help but let her imagination run wild. Usually, her master would wake up before eight o'clock. What was wrong with her today?
Later, when it was almost ten o'clock, Xiao Zhou couldn't help but run upstairs to take a look. However, the door was still locked. This time, she panicked and knocked on the door while shouting,"Madam, it's time to get up."
She was very confused because she could vaguely hear the sound of the television from inside. Madam was clearly in the room. Why didn't she answer the door?
Xiao Zhou knocked hard on the door, but there was still no movement. She hurriedly took out the phone number that Lin Danni had given her.
Usually, Lin Danni would give her all kinds of business cards and contact numbers because she had never thought of dealing with these people. Whenever something happened, she would ask Xiao Zhou to do things like making calls.
At this moment, Xiao Zhou felt that something was wrong, so she called Zhong Shu.
When Wu Tong and Zhong Shu arrived, Xiao Zhou was pacing around the living room in a daze. When he saw them, it was as if he had seen his savior. After briefly explaining the situation, he hurriedly led them to Lin Danni's bedroom on the second floor.
The Shen family was still as magnificent as before, but it had lost some of its popularity.
Such a place would often produce some terrifying things. Long corridors, tightly closed doors, and a deathly stillness everywhere.
Wu Tong felt fear.
Even though Xia Tian had already arrived, the Shen family villa was filled with a heavy atmosphere.
Xiao Zhou stood at the side. She looked at Zhong Shu for a while, then turned to Wu Tong for a while. She did not know what to do next.
It was really puzzling that a living person had disappeared so inexplicably.
"Why didn't she let her son go to her room?”
"I don't know either. Perhaps Madam doesn't want her son to watch too much television.”
Zhong Shu kept puffing out smoke and asked one last time,""Does Lin Danni watch TV at home every night?”
"Yes, she watches TV at home every night and never goes out.”Xiao Zhou looked at Zhong Shu uneasily.
Zhong Shu listened carefully. There was indeed the sound of the television in the room. He knocked hard on the door, but there was still no response. He had no choice but to slam the door open.
"Madam." Before they entered the room, Xiao Zhou was the first to call out.
Zhong Shu walked in and saw that the room was empty. Other than the television being turned on, everything was quiet.
Lin Danni wasn't home at all.
"Didn't you say that she's at home every day?”Zhong Shu asked Little Zhou.
Xiao Zhou suddenly became speechless. Her face flushed." Every night, I would hear the sound of the television in the room, so I thought she must be at home.”
Zhong Shu did not blame her. He knew that she must have fallen into Lin Danni's maze. Lin Danni deliberately turned up the volume of the TV to make people think that she was still in the room. In fact, she might have sneaked out. Moreover, Xiao Zhou said that she went to bed before eight every day. She would not know what happened after eight.
"Other than her, who else is there in the family?”
"Her son, Shen He."
Zhong Shu suddenly remembered what his son said to him after school that day. He remembered that one of his classmates was very happy that day and said that his father had returned. If he remembered correctly, that person was called Shen He!
"Could she have been kidnapped?" Wu Tong asked worriedly after they left the Shen residence.
"If it's a kidnapping, it's impossible for there to be no sound at all. No matter how soundly asleep that servant is, she can't have heard it, right? Moreover, her son lives next door.”
Zhong Shu continued," Perhaps, it's time to look for Ding Dahai. He has business dealings with Shen Qisheng and is also a good friend. Perhaps we can get some clues from that person."”#
