Monument of Life and Death

  Chapter 179 Scratches

  "This is Building No. 9," Sister Fang pointed to a small brick-red building on the right. "These days it's the building that makes the sound of playing a ball. The water-changing building is in front, and Building No.11."

Dao Chang and Xiao Lan turned their faces and looked at the dilapidated and small No. 9 building. You can’t see anything famous from the outside, but although the small building here is dilapidated, the surroundings are clean. The green plants in the community are growing very well. Sister Fang's contribution is indispensable.

  The three people first went to the plumbing house to check the situation. The old community did not have an elevator. While climbing up the railing, Xiaolan looked around the inside of the corridor.

  Except for the mottled and peeling wall skin after soaking in water and the foot pad shoe racks placed at the door of each house, there are few other things.

  Xiaolan admires Sister Fang’s action ability again.

  Although it is such an old community, it is well managed by her.

  No wonder everyone trusts Sister Fang so much.

  Sister Fang, who was walking in the front, finally stopped, pointed at the door of 502 and said, "This is it."

  The key is inserted and unscrewed. The lock opens smoothly. The young couple may have just left for a few days.

  Two door openings of "Squeaky——" sounded simultaneously.

  The three people looked at the suddenly open door next door.

  A man’s face came out, “Xiao Fang, I guess it’s you! How can the house of Xiao Liu’s house be completed?”

   "No good thief! I don't know how to get thief, this is not asking people to come and see thief!"

  The man looked at Xiaolan and Taoist chief, his voice suddenly lowered, "Why, these two are the master's marks?"

  Sister Fang smiled awkwardly, leaning over and whispering, "The two of you are very awkward, Brother Wang, you go home and take care of him..."

   "Why is there a girl doll?..."

   "What's wrong with the girl doll? I'm not a girl too..."

   "What kind of child are you..."

  Sister Fang said anxiously while pushing Brother Wang back into the door. Just about to turn around and lead Taoist Xiaolan into the door, the door of Brother Wang's house opened again.

   "Yeah! Master, after seeing the house of Xiao Liu's house, come to my house to see Si! My house is also very strange recently!"

   "What's wrong with your house?!" Sister Fang was a little angry and asked loudly.

  Brother Wang hesitated and couldn't say it, and at the end he left the sentence "You come here and talk about Si", and he closed the door and disappeared.

  "Sorry..." Seeing that the door of 501 was finally closed, Sister Fang smiled guiltily at the two.

   "It's okay," Dao Chang stretched out his hand to open the door of 502, "Let's go to Brother Wang's house after seeing this."

   "I really trouble you..."

"No trouble."

   Xiaolan also added, "This is what we should do."

  I feel so professional!

  Open the door and enter the house. The furnishings in the house are basically brand new. Combining with the young couple that Sister Fang said, you can guess that the two may not have been married for a long time, and the furnishings in the house are all new.

  There may be no such thing as spirit attached to old objects.

"This is their living room. Inside this door is the bedroom of the young couple," Sister Fang said, pointing to a white wooden door on the left side of the TV in the living room. "The water pipes in his house are mainly in the kitchen and bathroom, and the bathroom is in the bedroom. Next to it, opposite is the kitchen."

  Sister Fang introduced the layout of the family of Xiao Liu and his wife.

  It's quite a conventional pattern.

  Xiaolan doesn’t know much about decoration, so she just wanders around looking for weird places.

"This room faces south and faces north, the sun is not smooth, the top and low doors are short, and it is easy to have depression in the inner cavity," said the Taoist gesticulatingly. "It is a pattern that is easy to recruit things. After this event is over, it is recommended to the head of the household. Change the layout a little bit."

  Sister Fang’s materialistic eyes gleamed with suspicion.

The Taoist smiled, "You don't believe this, but think about it, the living room windows are too small, the room is not sunny, and the wind can't get through the hall, so you can only gather in the house. After a long time, the clothes will become moldy, and the house is low. Narrowness also affects the mood of the residents. If you make a small change, there will be fewer problems, and the residents' life will be healthier."

   then added, “Feng Shui also emphasizes scientific argumentation in many cases.”

  Sister Fang was moved and nodded hurriedly.

   "Xiaolan, have you found any problems?"

   Xiaolan turned back and frowned, "I didn't see anything strange, but... there is a smell here."

  Sister Fang hurried over, "They have moved away for a few days, and I haven't had time to come over and open the windows for them to ventilate..."

  "It's not that kind of smell," Xiaolan waved his hand. "It's not a musty smell. Although there is a musty smell in this room, I'm not talking about it... There is also a smell of raw meat. Can you imagine it?"

  Sister Fang shrugged suspiciously.

   "Smell of blood?" the leader asked, sniffing.

"No, it's not," Xiaolan said diligently. "It is the smell of bloodless raw meat. Let me put it another way, like the smell of our own skin, which is the smell of our own meat when we bury our face in our arms. ."

   "What's that smell..." Sister Fang looked at Dao Chang, "Where does the meat taste..."

   "Yes, there is a smell," Xiaolan rubbed her hands, "Very light, very fragrant smell."

  Sister Fang's eyes changed when she saw Xiaolan.

  "Smell after rubbing your hands," Xiaolan tried to behave as normal, "That's it..."

  Sister Fang followed suit, and finally showed a trace of understanding.

   "There is nothing else to discover." Xiaolan's hands dropped.

   "Sister Fang, did you say that Xiao Liu and the others heard the voice in the living room?" the Taoist chief asked.

  Sister Fang nodded, "In the living room, the movement they heard has been in the living room, and the last time it sounded, it was...right where you stood."

  Sister Fang pointed to the place where Xiaolan and Taoist were standing, and the two hurriedly looked at their feet.

  The solid wood floor is still very new. It has just been waxed and the surface is still very smooth.

  Because other places are very smooth, some things are more conspicuous.

  Xiaolan and Taoist chief lie on the same floor next to each other and look carefully.

  "What did you find?" Sister Fang leaned in curiously.

  Daoist did not answer, and tapped his finger on the floor.

   "It seems to be here."

  Sister Fang finally saw what was on the floor, and she was shocked.

  There are several parallel scratches on the flat and brand-new floor.

   is definitely not a mark accidentally drawn when moving.

  The scratches are neat and deliberate. They run five times in a row. They are clearly traces made by something desperately.

  Tao Chang seemed to think of something, and hurriedly asked, "Sister Fang, where did you put the replaced old water pipe?"

   "Every household handles it by themselves, Xiao Liu and his wife will live their lives, as if they are piled up in the toilet to sell scrap iron."

  After listening, the Taoist leader took Xiaolan and quickly rushed into the bathroom, and saw that there were thick and thin water pipes stacked next to the bathtub.

  Tao Chang leaned over and picked up half of the thick water pipe that had been cut horizontally.

  Open it.

  Sure enough, five similar scratches appeared on the inside of the water pipe.
