Chapter 23 Luo Xi's 'Troubleshooting Method'
"The number you dialed is powered off, please try again later."
"The number you dialedis powered off. Please try again later."
One Floor Road , Luo Xi looked at the phone, and Wu Rui next to him asked: "Is it turned off?"
Luo Xi nodded.
Wu Rui asked: "What do you think happened to Brother Mao?"
"It's hard to say. The worst-case scenario is that he was killed by other memory collectors in this level scene, so the phone also It fell into the hands of the other party, but the other party probably didn't notice it at first. A child found the phone and answered my call."
"If Brother Mao dies, do we still need to stay here? ?" Wu Rui asked.
Because they came here just to find Liu Mao.
"What I just said is the worst case scenario. Moreover, the parents of the child who answered the phone should be the ones who attacked Brother Mao, otherwise they would not hang up my call. Under normal circumstances, there would be no A parent would kill someone in front of their child, so we still need to make sure. Besides, we have entered this level scene and signed a contract, and we can only leave after passing the level.”
"Okay, what should we do now? If it's a family with children, maybe we can narrow down the scope." Wu Rui said halfway, and suddenly realized that even so, they still didn't know how to narrow down the scope from nearly a hundred households. apartment building to find the person they were looking for.
Even if the occupancy rate of this apartment building is only 50%, it is still very difficult. You can't go door to door and knock on the door to ask.
Wu Rui felt that this matter was very difficult from the beginning.
Luo Xi was wandering around on the first floor, as if looking for something.
"What are you looking for?" Wu Rui couldn't help but ask.
"Meter box, under normal circumstances, the specific room number and the name of the household owner will be written on the meter, but I didn't find it. That's right. If it was so easy to determine the situation of the residents in the building, then this scene would be simple. "
Luo Xi was not discouraged when he didn't find the meter box. He walked to the door of a house on the first floor near the elevator and started knocking on the door. At the same time, he gave Wu Rui a 'shhh'. gesture.
That means don’t talk.
“In the end, it’s not about knocking on doors door to door.” Wu Rui muttered in her heart.
At this moment she hid on the side of the door, holding the handle of the knife tightly.
A knock on the door broke the silence in the corridor.
Dong dong dong!
"Who is it?"
The security door opened, and an old woman who looked to be in her sixties showed her head and looked at Luo Xi warily.
“Hello grandma, I work for the power supply company. This is my ID. Recently, we have to replace the electric meters here. Originally, we had to contact the apartment manager for this matter, but I can’t contact him. To him, do you know how to contact him? ”
Luo Xi was talking nonsense seriously. The ID card in his hand was his work badge, and he was obviously sure that the other party would not look carefully.
"I don't know either. I don't contact him on weekdays." The old woman shook her head.
"Is there a group of owners? Pull me in and I'll contact him." Luo Xi took out his mobile phone.
"Yes, please wait a moment." The old woman did not doubt that he was there and turned around to get her mobile phone. Luo Xi stood at the door and glanced at the situation in the room inadvertently.
It should be a layout of two bedrooms and one living room. The area is not large. The furniture in the room is old and messy. It smells like medicine. There are family photos hanging on the wall, including photos of the two old people and other children and grandchildren together. At least three generations live together.
Soon, the old woman came over with her mobile phone and opened a group.
"This is the group, but I don't know how to add people."
"Let me take a look."
Luo Xi took the phone and looked at it. The name of the group is 'Sega Apartment Building Owners Group' and the number of people is 225.
Group administrator carrot, with a contact number at the back.
The names of the owners in the group are all marked in the form of room number + name + contact number, which naturally facilitates management.
However, if you want to join the group, you need to be approved by the administrator before you can enter.
Luo Xi is certain that if he applies to join the group, he will definitely be rejected.
But he still scanned the QR code and submitted the application to join the group.
At this time, Wu Rui couldn't help but come over to take a look, and found that Luo Xi had clicked on the group member list and was scrolling down from top to bottom.
"Found it. He is so smart. This method can indeed locate Brother Mao's room number immediately. Why didn't I think of it." Wu Rui looked at Liu Mao's name flashing on the screen of his mobile phone and thought to himself.
At this time, the old woman opposite had a suspicious look on her face. She probably realized that Wu Rui didn't behave like a 'serious person'.
"Thank you, grandma, for giving me the mobile phone." Luo Xi rummaged briefly and then returned the mobile phone to the old woman.
The latter nodded and immediately closed the security door.
I guess I am already wary.
"I just saw that Brother Mao lives in 712. Let's go directly up to find him." After Wu Rui finished speaking, Luo Xi nodded, and the two of them pressed the up button of the elevator. Soon, the elevator door opened and the two of them walked in.
In the car, Wu Rui suddenly remembered something: "If Brother Mao is caught, then we won't be able to find him even if we go to his home. Besides, someone may have been watching him. Going to Brother Mao's house and rushing there can easily scare the snake."
Luo Xi nodded, the elevator made a creaking sound as it went up. Soon, the 7th floor was reached, the door opened, and children came from the corridor. Laughter at play.
The two walked out of the elevator and took a look.
Over there, there are several children chasing and playing.
Wu Rui was about to go that way, but was stopped by Luo Xi.
"What's wrong?" As soon as Wu Rui opened her mouth, she saw Luo Xi making a silent gesture. At that moment, she also became a little nervous and kept silent, looking around vigilantly.
Here Luo Xi is at the corner, looking at the children playing in the corridor over there.
"Brother Sixin, today is Sister Zhou Ya's birthday. My brother has prepared a diary. What about you, what have you prepared?" A child who looked like the youngest asked in a sweet voice.
"Me? I'm not prepared, but my sister is. She and sister Zhou Ya are in the same class. I heard there is a big cake, creamy and chocolate flavored." said the boy called brother Sixin.
“Wow, I’m so looking forward to it.”
“My dad said he would buy it for me next time for my birthday.” Liu Sixin said.
"Then, can you give it to me to eat then?" the child asked hurriedly.
“Yes, we are good friends, good friends must know how to share”
Another slightly older boy did not join the discussion. He probably felt very childish. He was focusing on skipping rope at the moment, but his eyes turned to the other side from time to time, not knowing what he was looking at.
"By the way, someone called your dad this morning. I answered the phone." The child remembered something and mentioned it.
"Liar, my dad is at work, and I don't even have a phone. You are so young, where did you get the phone?" Liu Sixin said angrily.
"Really, but my mother said someone made a wrong call."
At this time, another child ran over and joined them, doubling the fun and doubling the happiness.
Wu Rui turned around and looked over at this time, and whispered: "Luo Xi, could it be that the kid who answered your call before was..."
Luo Xi nodded: "As far as I know, the levels in the days of confinement are In addition to the administrator, the person who knows the most about the scene is the memory collector who has saved many memories. We don’t have so much time to waste. It is best to directly contact the memory collector here."
"What? ?" Wu Rui didn't respond.
"Follow me, don't talk, hold the knife. If I say to do it, you do it."
Luo Xi took out the cigarette and held it in his mouth, but did not light it.
Then he took out his cell phone and dialed a number as he walked forward. Wu Rui hurriedly followed behind.
It rang a few times and the phone was connected.
"Hello?" It was a woman's voice on the other side of the phone.
Luo Xi said directly: "Song Yan, open the door!"
"Who are you?" The woman on the other side of the phone was obviously confused.
"I'm the one who called Liu Mao just now. Open the door. I'm at your door." At this time, Luo Xi had already walked to the door of Room 710 and stood there, then hung up the phone.
Not to mention the woman on the phone who was confused, even the woman next to Luo Xi was also confused.
"How do you know the other person's name?" Wu Rui asked in a low voice.
Luo Xi frowned and made a gesture of silence.
Wu Rui could only hold back her curiosity. She remembered that Luo Xi had just told her to follow him, don't talk, hold the knife, and do it if you say to do it
She had hidden the dagger in her sleeve for a long time, and she was a little nervous at this time. But looking at Luo Xi, not only did the other party not have any nervousness or unnaturalness at this moment, on the contrary, there was a visible confidence and aura of control over everything.
"I understand. When this guy was looking at the old lady's phone just now, he had already written down the room number and name of the resident on the 7th floor. No, he may have written down more things, even the entire Information about members of the owner group. But how could he be so sure that it was someone from this family who attacked Brother Mao? By the way, Luo Another reason why Xi is so anxious is precisely because of Brother Mao. If he goes by his previous inference, Brother Mao may not have been killed, but he is definitely in danger. If he can do it earlier, he may be able to disrupt the other party's murder plan. "< br>
Thoughts surged in Wu Rui's mind, and the next moment, the door of Room 710 was opened.
The person who opened the door was a man. He had obvious stubble and looked haggard, but there was some inexplicable ferocity in his eyes.
"Fan Yong?" Luo Xi at the door glanced at the other person and said directly: "Your two sons are outside, let's go in and talk."
After saying that, he walked straight inside, and the man inside subconsciously stepped aside.
Wu Rui followed closely and walked in.
Her heart was beating very fast because what had happened so far was too exciting, but at this moment all the messy thoughts in her mind had disappeared. Now she was holding the handle of the knife tightly. She only knew, If Luo Xi said to take action later, she would kill without hesitation.
