Chapter 75: Ten Years

He Zhixin suddenly wailed, the crying so shrill that it made everyone's hair stand on end.

"I worked diligently for the Guomao Company all my life, originally thinking that I could have a house of my own and live a happy life with my wife and son. At that time, Lao Lin patted his chest and guaranteed that the practice of renting instead of buying was only temporary, and that after the Guomao Company was restructured, he would go and handle the property deeds for everyone.

At first, I was hesitant, but Old Yu insisted on pulling me in, saying that this was the last chance for housing allocation, making me dispel the last trace of doubt and submit the application.

As a result, the company was restructured, and it was restructured to the point that the Guomao Company no longer existed. The manager in charge of housing allocation went to sea, and Lao Lin said he would inquire about how to handle it, dragging it on year after year. The Guomao Apartment was changed to Guiyue Apartment. We got used to living in it, and the inconspicuous monthly rent made us all forget that this house didn't belong to us at all.

Originally, life just went on in a muddle.

Maybe it was really the accident at the construction site back then that caused the apartment to be cursed. Twenty years ago, my wife was diagnosed with uremia. To survive, she had to accept high dialysis costs, but the wages of the two of us added up to only so much, and my son was still so young.

All I could think of was selling the house. When I asked Lao Lin, it was still the same old way, playing Tai Chi with me!

I had no choice but to inquire myself. I don't know how many people I asked and how many cold eyes I suffered. The final conclusion was that only if all eight households in Guiyue Apartment were willing to sell the house could this matter be possible, and a representative had to be elected.

I hadn't given up hope on Lao Lin at that time and discussed it with him immediately.

He said he would discuss it with everyone, but a few days later he told me that no one supported doing so, and it couldn't be negotiated.

Time passed day by day. Poor my wife had to work overtime with a sick body just for that little salary... The child's mother sighed intentionally or unintentionally, saying that she might as well die like this. I thought she was just complaining, until that night, she didn't come back after working the night shift and couldn't be contacted no matter what. I found a flashlight and searched along the way she got off work, but I couldn't find her. A few days later, someone found a floating corpse in the river north of our apartment. When I went to claim it, my wife, who was such a beautiful person, had been soaked by the water until she was unrecognizable and didn't look like a human being. You won't know how I felt at that time, and that Lin surnamed person on the third floor wouldn't know!" Speaking of this, He Zhixin gritted his teeth, like an injured hyena, his eyes full of hatred.

"You suspect she committed suicide?" Qi Fei asked.

"Suspect? Hahaha!" He Zhixin cried and laughed, "A few days later I received a letter she sent me, which contained an accidental personal insurance policy and a letter, telling me this was the only thing she could do for the family, telling me not to tell anyone she had uremia, otherwise she wouldn't get the compensation, saying that my son wanted to study abroad, and this money was enough to support him. After my wife died, I couldn't sleep all night. As long as I closed my eyes, I would think about the house. These people all had their own little calculations, and no one cared about my family's life or death.

Ten years ago, my son successfully applied for a good university abroad. When I sent my son abroad, I knew clearly that the money my wife exchanged with her life was only enough for him to finish school, so what about later? He wanted to start a family and a career, and I, as a father, couldn't give him anything. I just kept thinking and thinking..."

"Hmph, then you thought, if they don't agree, just let them disappear, so there's no need to discuss it," Zhong Kui finished the words he hadn't spoken yet.

"I live on the first floor, watching Lao Lin's family of four on the third floor, going in and out happily. I heard that Lao Lin is already looking at properties in Nancheng. This person cheated us into this apartment, changed to the position of manager of the leather factory, made a lot of money, and now intends to pat his butt and leave! I'm not convinced! I want him to never walk out of this building in his life!"

"You approached Old Yu and became buddies with him, also for a purpose, right? You knew Old Yu came from the lock factory, and you wanted to acquire the skills to enter every household," Zhong Kui continued.

"Old Yu was indeed a good person. I told him that the economic pressure was great and I wanted to learn this craft from him to open a key shop, and he believed it. I told him that I was thin-skinned and afraid of not learning well and being laughed at, so I asked him not to tell others, and he really didn't tell anyone. I didn't expect it to be discovered by you."

"You still killed him just like that?" Qi Fei couldn't believe it.

"Hmph, who told him not to agree to sell the house back then? Since then, I have become the most gentle person in this building, often helping everyone."

"This way you have the opportunity to copy everyone's keys," Zhong Kui said immediately.

He Zhixin didn't care anymore. He glanced at Zhong Kui and continued: "I have lived with these people for too long, and I know the living habits of every household like the back of my hand. Lao Lin's family, they sleep like pigs after 9 o'clock every night, hmph... When I entered the door with the copied keys, none of the four woke up. They really deserved to die!"

At this time, Zhao Xiaozhen, who had been too scared to make a sound, suddenly shouted: "I remember! The proposal not to call the police back then was first suggested by you!"

He Zhixin glared at her fiercely: "So what? Didn't you all agree without saying a word! If it weren't for your own little calculations, someone would have called the police, and maybe I would have been caught! Wouldn't the few people later not have died? Hehehe..." As he spoke, he grinned, and in the dim light of Room 402, his expression looked increasingly sinister.

"You were in a hurry to kill because your son was coming back soon, right? It's just that, will he still be able to see you when he comes back?" Zhong Kui's words pulled the rug out from under him, making He Zhixin, who had no regrets, paralyzed on the ground.

"The moment the killing started, you had already killed yourself first," she looked down at He Zhixin from above, without a trace of sympathy.

The sound of police sirens came from downstairs, surrounding Guiyue Apartment...

When evacuating, Sha Gou reluctantly handed over the camera's memory card to Qi Fei. Just as he opened his mouth to say: "Can I..."

He was beaten back by Qi Fei's sentence: "Don't even think about it!" However, he thought of something immediately and dragged the decadent Luo Yang from the crowd to Sha Gou.

"I think you can get to know each other," he introduced to Sha Gou, "This is the person who posted that ghost building video."

Sha Gou's eyes widened when he heard this: "You are that great god?!"

Luo Yang nodded blankly. ===== CHAPTER 76 =====
