Chapter 61: Abnormal

At this time, the rain outside the house was getting heavier and heavier, accompanied by obvious footsteps upstairs, and even the sound of things falling on the floor. It was clear that someone was upstairs.

Zhao Xiaozhen was already trembling with fear, muttering: "It's haunted even in broad daylight!"

Qi Fei immediately signaled her not to make a sound. This wasn't a haunting; someone had broken into Room 301.

The three of them moved lightly and walked toward the third floor.

A few steps away, they heard the sound of a door being locked on the third floor. Qi Fei rushed up in two or three steps and shouted "Don't move!"

Then came the sound of a man's exclamation.

Zhong Kui and Wu Shanqiu followed closely. They saw a man who was not young, wearing an old blue cotton jacket, holding a bunch of keys, standing in place with his hands raised high and a blank face.

Looking at the gun in Qi Fei's hand, the man clearly didn't react for a while and said tremblingly: "I have no money, please spare me!"

Qi Fei heard this and saw that this person had mistaken them for robbers, so he said in a deep voice: "I am a criminal police officer from the Nan City Police Bureau. Who are you, and why did you break into Room 301?"

"Police? 301?" The man was confused. "I didn't go to 301?"

"Don't ask, he just came out of 302," Zhong Kui behind him said. "The room number is pasted on the key."

Qi Fei looked, and sure enough, it was.

When they investigated before, they said the owner of Room 302 was often not at home. It seemed they were talking about this person.

"Are you that Chang..." Qi Fei couldn't remember this person's name for a while.

"I am Chang Hui," the other party answered actively, and began to figure out the situation, looking at the few people, "Oh, oh, they said that because of Yue Fengsheng's matter recently, the police often come over. You are them, right?"

Wu Shanqiu immediately said: "Could it be that the sound just now was you?"

"I should be going back to my own home, it's not against the law..."

Qi Fei looked at the rusty iron door and said: "Do you mind if we go to your house and chat?"

Chang Hui didn't hesitate and reopened the door, inviting them into the house.

Unlike other households, Chang Hui's house, although not often lived in, was cleaned quite cleanly. But for some reason, there was an indescribable fishy stench, similar to Yue Fengsheng's, the smell of hangover vomit.

Seeing the three of them looking troubled, Chang Hui immediately said: "The balcony is slightly better, let's chat on the balcony."

"Did you just vomit or something?" Wu Shanqiu couldn't help but ask.

Chang Hui said helplessly while taking them to the balcony: "I didn't vomit. This smell has been here for many years, and I can't find the reason. I guess the building's sewage pipes weren't done well, and the smell is coming up. This building is now a 'three-no' place, and no one cares about maintenance. I've talked to the people next door, and they don't want to spend money, so the matter of repairing the pipes was left unsettled," Chang Hui said with complaints. "I have a bit of a clean freak, and I can't stand this environment. It just so happens that a company rehired me to do sales, running around everywhere, exerting my remaining energy, and I can live in this house for fewer days, so I let them be."

"The households downstairs don't have as big a smell as yours," Zhong Kui said. "No wonder they don't want to spend money together to repair it."

"Hmph, they are all calculating their own little abacus. It serves them right that this house is smashed in their hands." Chang Hui said resentfully.

"Are you talking about everyone not wanting to spend money?" Qi Fei asked.

"That's right! If you ask me, it's retribution that Lao Lin's family opposite could have an accident!"

"How do you say that?"

"Lao Lin was already an old hand at the leather factory back then. He had already heard the news that the company was going to be restructured, but he didn't tell us about it. It is said that the leaders of Guomao Company talked to him privately. As long as he kept us in this building from making trouble, he would let him be the factory manager of the leather factory after the restructuring," Chang Hui said, still angry.

Qi Fei and Zhong Kui looked at each other. If this were the case, this Lao Lin living in 301 would be enough to arouse everyone's hatred. However, before Chang Hui, no one had told them about this.

There must be a demon if something is abnormal.

"You lived opposite Lao Lin. His family had an accident, you should have been the first to know, right?" Qi Fei asked.

Chang Hui shook his head: "I am black is black, white is white. I wouldn't have any dealings with someone like Lao Lin who betrayed everyone. Although we lived opposite, I always kept my door closed and didn't have any dealings with them. It was Zhao Xiaozhen downstairs who couldn't get an answer when she borrowed something, so she asked us neighbors to help. Finally, it was Old Yu who opened the door. When everyone went in, they found the family of four lying straight on the bed, already dead. We guessed that when they went to bed the night before, the gas had already leaked, and after a whole night, they were already cold!"

"Didn't any of you think about calling the police?" Qi Fei's brow tightened.

"I was the one who insisted on calling the police, but they didn't agree. They were afraid that the building would be taken away and everyone would have nothing. This is also reasonable. We were cheated by Lao Lin for most of our lives on this house. Why else would I say it's retribution."

"Old Yu opened the door..." Zhong Kui repeated a sentence Chang Hui just said.

At this time, Qi Fei also heard the problem: "Old Yu who lives in 402? Why could he open the door to 301?"

Chang Hui laughed when he heard this: "He was originally a technician at the lock factory under Guomao Company. Helping to open a door is just a common occurrence, right?"

Hearing this, Qi Fei's head "buzzed." The person who could always shuttle freely between various rooms, if he didn't have the keys to everyone's doors, he had the ability to pick locks.

"I heard Old Yu and Yue Fengsheng's ex-wife disappeared at the same time?" Qi Fei asked deliberately.

Chang Hui gave a different answer when he heard this: "Did they tell you that Old Yu ran away with someone else's wife? I tell you, Old Yu wouldn't do such a thing."

"So sure?" Qi Fei asked immediately.

Chang Hui didn't seem willing to say more about this, just saying one sentence: "He is a good old man, but there is a reason for being a bachelor. Not many people know about this."

"Are you saying he is impotent?" Zhong Kui poked it out very impolitely, just using a more literary way of saying it.

Chang Hui had to say: "It is said that when he was young, that place was injured, so I don't know who is spreading it, saying he abducted Yue Fengsheng's wife. It's a groundless matter!"

As they were speaking, a "clatter" sound suddenly came from opposite, making everyone's nerves tense immediately.

"Hmm? Is there really movement opposite? We thought it was the sound from your place..." Wu Shanqiu said to Chang Hui.

Several people came to the door of Room 301. Sure enough, they vaguely heard someone walking inside, and a man's voice was talking to himself... ===== CHAPTER 62 =====
