Chapter 139 Shoe Prints
"Since the ghost is gone, let's hurry up." Zhou Rong glanced around. In the dim environment, his heart was full of uneasiness, "Everyone spread out and search, I'll go Kitchen."
"I'm nearby in case the ghost comes back suddenly," Pei Gan said immediately.
After saying that, the two of them looked at Jiangcheng. Now only the second floor was left without anyone searching.
Obviously, they were prepared to leave the unfamiliar location to him.
"Exciting!" Jiang Cheng suddenly became excited.
Zhou Rong, who was so nervous, was so frightened by Jiang Cheng's sudden voice that he almost flew out of his wits. Pei Qian was even worse. Because of his age, he suddenly felt wet.
"Then I'll leave it to Mr. Yin."
Zhou Rong, who looked pale, didn't stop after he finished speaking, and walked directly to the kitchen door. The ghost came out of this door. Soon So is the sound of chopping vegetables in front of me.
Pei Qian was now a little afraid of Jiang Cheng from the bottom of his heart. This man seemed to have a brain problem. In order not to be implicated by Jiang Cheng, Pei Qian also chose to stay away from him and search in another direction.
Jiang Cheng strolled to the stairs. He did not go upstairs immediately. Instead, after thinking for a while, he suddenly squatted down and pressed his ear against the wall near the stairs.
Due to the field of vision, Pei Qian couldn't see him for the time being and thought he had gone upstairs.
A thin layer of dust accumulated on the floor inside the building.
Jiang Cheng's eyes slowly swept over the stairs, and a few dust spots seemed to have been rubbed off.
His eyes narrowed slightly, and then he took a few steps up the steps, but it seemed that his movements were wide open and closed, but in fact the sound he made was inaudible.
Choosing a location with a better view, he squatted down and found several shoe prints here.
The shoe prints are messy and unclear, as if they were left by someone running in a panic.
Based on what Pei Qian said, this should have been left by Jiang Zhongyi before his death.
He carefully identified several shoe prints and quickly concluded that these were not the shoe prints of one person, but of two people. Judging from the size, they should be two adult men.
He immediately thought of Penfolds who disappeared on the first night.
It seems very likely that he has been here and was attacked by ghosts here.
Just as Jiang Cheng stood up, ready to change positions, and then carefully looked at the few shoe prints left behind, his peripheral vision flashed, and the leg that was about to fall suddenly stopped.
Just where he was about to settle, he found another shoe print.
The size of this shoe print is obviously different from the previous two. The model is smaller and the width is narrower, as if it was left by a woman.
Thinking of this, he immediately looked at his feet.
There are also traces of dust being rubbed away a little bit next to where he is standing.
It was as if there had been a woman who, using the same movements as Jiang Cheng, chose to stand in the same position and observe the shoe prints appearing on the stairs.
For the first time, a different emotion appeared in Jiang Cheng's eyes.
He looked up at the dark corner of the stairs, and then retreated slowly with extremely slow movements.
The moment he turned around, he suddenly noticed a face appearing behind the kitchen door.
It's Zhou Rong.
But at this moment, he seemed to be paler than before.
Pei Qian also searched around and came back.
Jiang Cheng pretended to have searched upstairs and found nothing and walked down the stairs.
"How is it?" Pei Qian looked at Jiang Cheng and asked in a low voice.
Jiang Cheng pretended to be serious and shook his head.
Pei Gan licked his lips, glanced quickly at the stairs, and then asked in a strange tone: "Why didn't I hear footsteps upstairs? Mr. Yin couldn't be afraid, and then There's no search."
Hearing this, Jiang Cheng immediately moved away from the stairs, stared at Pei Qian with aggrieved eyes and said, "If you don't believe me, go up and see for yourself."
Pei Qian looked at it. Looking at the dark corner at the end of the stairs, my throat couldn't help but roll.
"I think. I think you can come in and take a look."
Zhou Rong's voice was strange, as if he was trying hard to suppress it, as if he would spit it out if he didn't suppress it.
At the same time, a vague smell of blood wafted out of the kitchen.
Pei Qian's face instantly turned ugly. He thought about something.
But in the end, he moved his steps and walked over with Jiang Cheng.
Zhou Rong stepped back and opened the door for the two of them.
Pei Qian walked in first, and Jiang Cheng followed behind him.
As soon as he entered the door, the strong smell of blood hit his face, mixed with the stench of rotten meat.
On the ground is a large dark stove, which is made of stone bricks, and the part next to the lime floor is plastered with a thick layer of yellow mud.
There are several blue and white porcelain bowls where the tableware is stored, scattered here and there, most of them missing the corners.
There is also a huge basin covered with wooden boards.
The dark stove was stained with blood, and it looked like a dismemberment scene in a movie.
It’s not like this, it’s right here!
Zhou Rong had obviously seen what was in the basin, so when he lifted the wooden board covering the basin this time, he just took a deep breath, but Pei Gan's face suddenly turned pale. .
Inside the basin are pieces of minced meat, some of which are oddly colored and should be internal organs.
What was even more terrifying was that they saw a finger that had been chopped with a knife and the bones were chopped into pieces, but there was still some skin and flesh attached.
His stomach was churning, and Pei Gan, who was the weakest in his body, finally vomited it out.
Jiang Cheng immediately jumped out of the way.
Zhou Rong's reaction was a step slower. When he tried to hide again, it was already too late. Dirt splashed on his shoes, and he hurriedly stepped back.
The lime floor was covered with blood.
Although the blood is not dry yet, it has become sticky and thick. It makes a "crunching" sound when you step on it, which makes people feel nervous, and it also leaves a shallow shoe print.
"Huh?" Jiang Cheng suddenly said.
Zhou Rong immediately looked at Jiang Cheng, but before he could speak, the latter lowered his voice and said warily: "Did you hear anything just now?"
"What. What's the sound?" Pei Gan asked in horror.
“It seems to be upstairs,” Jiang Cheng said quickly as he turned around and walked towards the door, “You stay here, I’ll go take a look.”
“I’ll go with you, "Zhou Rong followed.
Suddenly, his arm was pulled and he froze.
"Mr. Zhou," Pei Gan looked very ugly, but he still held onto Zhou Rong's arm and lowered his voice: "Just let him go alone. Let's look for clues first. The ghost will be back soon."< br>
In these few seconds of delay, Jiang Cheng had already left the kitchen, and his shadow could no longer be seen.
Zhou Rong slowly turned his head and looked at Pei Qian's sad face. After a few seconds, he suddenly smiled: "Okay."
"I have found the clues. "Yeah," Zhou Rong said, walking backwards.
His walking posture was strange, and his strength was much greater. The weak Pei Gan was almost carried away by him. (End of this chapter)
