Chapter 221 221. Happy Apartment

Qiao Mu carefully read the case investigation report of the deceased.

Note that this man's name is Xiaoshuai. In order to protect the other person's privacy, Qiao Mu named him Dazhuang.

Da Zhuang studied in Jiangcheng. After graduation, he stayed in this city and joined an Internet company to enjoy the 996 blessing and save some money.

Later, the business of Da Zhuang's company was adjusted, and he began to work overtime like crazy. In order to reduce the time on the road, he moved to the Xingfu Apartment near the company where Qiao Mu was checking out today.

Unexpectedly, the company later required Da Zhuang's department to work overtime until after twelve o'clock every day. Da Zhuang did not agree to such overtime work and was laid off after talking to his superiors.

Without a job, the 35-year-old Da Zhuang began to become autistic. According to the descriptions of his neighbors, he became irritable, had insomnia and dreaminess, was depressed, often talked into the air, and hit people in the corridor for no reason. The wall seemed to be fighting against an invisible person.

In the end, Da Zhuang chose to commit suicide by cutting his wrists one night and died in his living room.

He left no suicide note, and the old father at home received his ashes.

The police must have conducted certain investigations into such suicide cases, but the interpersonal relationships in the later years of Da Zhuang were simple, and the people around him had no motive for killing.

The police investigated the surveillance of the apartment building and found that Da Zhuang had indeed experienced a similar situation as described by neighbors and security guards, and no other people were found entering or leaving his house. After an investigation, the case was finally concluded as suicide.

There was nothing strange about the whole matter, and naturally there was no investigation involving NHI.

After all, in such a large Jiangcheng, the only serious investigators are Su Hong, Du Ruo, and Qiao Mu. Bai Lian is the vanguard when things happen and the mascot when things don't happen. How can they manage so many anomalies?

Seriously speaking, unless it has affected ordinary people, ordinary anomalies are unlikely to be dealt with.

Qiao Mu recalled that when he discovered that someone had died in that room, he got the information that the person had indeed committed suicide.

Nothing seems wrong.

He clicked on the attachment in the file, which contained some surveillance camera videos.

Qiao Mu clicked on the first one.

There are surveillance cameras on every floor of the apartment, and the entrances and exits of the elevators and stairs are photographed.

The surveillance video showed that at two o'clock in the night, the surroundings were quiet. Suddenly, the number of floors on the elevator began to change, gradually rising from the first floor, and finally reaching the ninth floor.

Just when Qiao Mu thought it was Da Zhuang taking the elevator home and stared at the elevator closely.

Ding dong——

The sound of the elevator door arriving sounded, which was quite scary.

"Is this camera so powerful with a recording function?"

As we all know, many cheap surveillance equipment do not have a recording function. On the one hand, missing one function makes it cheaper, and on the other hand, it also saves storage space.

But in turn, many surveillance cameras now have additional functions, and can even move and talk to each other. Of course, this kind of equipment is mostly used to amuse cats.

Qiao Mu muttered and looked into the elevator.

It was empty, no one was there.

But the elevator door was still open, as if someone was coming in or out.

Bang——

Suddenly, there was a loud noise from the surveillance camera. In horror movies, it was a standard jump scare scene.

Qiao Mu saw that the door of Room 910 opened and Da Zhuang walked out.

The thirty-five-year-old unemployed man opened the door and murmured words with unknown meaning. He suddenly began to fight for the air. Then he began to hammer the wall. After hammering for a while, he seemed to finally be tired and walked back. .

Just when Qiao Mu was about to turn off the video, he suddenly discovered that Da Zhuang suddenly turned his head and glanced at the camera just before he went home and closed the door.

It was as if he was confirming whether what he had just done was recorded by the camera.

"Well"

Qiao Mu clicked on several other videos, all of which were similar.

Da Zhuang in the surveillance camera is crazy and seems to be completely mentally disturbed.

However, as a professional Internet psychologist, doesn’t Qiao Mu still know what a patient is?

Da Zhuang's behavior is definitely not crazy.

On the contrary, he is probably faking it.

A person pretends to be mentally ill and then commits suicide, so what is his purpose?

Qiao Mu really didn't understand what these people were thinking.

He then clicked on the testimonies of those neighbors. Since he committed suicide at home, the police interviewed almost all the residents in the building.

Qiao Mu discovered a bright spot, that is, the mobility of residents in this apartment is very low.

Basically, the residents interviewed have lived here since the building was completed. There are very few people like Da Zhuang who moved in later.

Of course, it can also be explained. After all, the location is so good and the house has no big problems. If you live by yourself, there is no need to move.

In the community where Su Hong lives, there are many renters. Because the houses are too old, many landlords have already moved to larger houses farther away. There is no need to live in such a cramped place.

This resulted in almost everyone in the whole building knowing each other. If something happened to someone, the whole apartment would know about it the next day. In this indifferent era where even the neighbors may not have met each other, there is a sense of returning to nature. The beauty.

But thinking about it on the other hand, just because everyone knows each other, if there is anything bad going on, everyone will probably hide it.

This is some kind of established small group.

It's similar to the small isolated village by the sea in thriller movies, or the town deep in the mountains.

Even if Da Zhuang really encounters any problem, if he calls the police alone, he will look helpless under the "testimonies" of his neighbors.

Thinking of this, Qiao Mu turned around to see if Da Zhuang had called the police before. Sure enough, he found three police records. Da Zhuang came to the police and said that someone was not letting him leave the apartment, but he said There was no telling what it was, but it was like the story of the boy who cried wolf. By the third time, the police were a little impatient.

This also led to the police being so easy to believe when neighbors later said that Da Zhuang had mental problems.

"So, there might be something really wrong."

Qiao Mu has decided to live in this apartment and take a look.

Early the next morning, he called the agent and went to the apartment to sign the contract after breakfast.

He came to Xingfu Apartment and raised his head. He didn't know why, but he couldn't see anything from here, but he always felt that people in the whole building were watching him from behind the windows of the apartment.

When we arrived at Room 910, real estate agent Xiao Li was already waiting here.

Qiao Mu briefly looked at the lease contract and found that there was nothing wrong with it.

He picked up the pen and was about to write his name when the bright red text appeared from the contract that had just been printed and was still warm.

[By signing this contract, you will lose the nightlife forever and become a part of this place forever. Even so, do you still have to agree? 】

Qiao Mu stopped moving.

"What's wrong?"

On the side, real estate agent Xiao Li asked.

"No, I'll look at it again."

Qiao Mu responded casually, and he found that the young real estate agent's forehead was already covered with sweat.

"Is it hot?"

He asked back.

"A little bit."

Xiao Li wiped his sweat.

"oh."

Qiao Mu responded and immediately signed the contract.

Crimson words seeped out from the tip of the pen and wrapped around Qiao Mu's arm like a long snake.

[Go and say hello to your neighbors. We will always be a loving family from now on! 】
