Chapter 278 504 and 503

"Hello?" Wen Qi tried to call again, but the room was silent and there was no response. He could only fumble to turn on the switch on the wall, and then he could see the situation in the room clearly.

The small apartment with only one room was in full view. The kitchen, bedroom and living room were all squeezed into this space of less than 40 square meters. The only partition was the bathroom. The window was open. Although fresh air was always pouring in, there was still a burning smell in the room that had not yet dissipated, similar to the smell of burnt protein mixed with a certain fragrance.

There was a neatly folded thick quilt on the bed, and half-eaten and cold instant noodles on the table, but the room was very clean, and someone should clean it regularly. It was full of the breath of life everywhere, but the messy bloody footprints outside the door stopped abruptly at the door. There was no blood on the floor, as if it was completely isolated by the door.

There was an electronic clock hanging on the wall, which showed the time and date, May 21st 00:23:11.

So that's it, only a few hours have passed since the 20th?

"Insight, danger prediction." Wen Qi took out the crowbar from his backpack and activated the skill immediately. All the items in the room emitted a faint light, and all traces were clearly visible, even fingerprints were revealed.

[Insight prompt]: "The fingerprints in the room belong to the same person, and no one with matching fingerprints has been found yet."

[Based on your current mental power, when danger prediction and insight are activated together, the duration is 30 seconds, please grasp the time. ]

Wen Qi heard the prompt in his ear, and the danger prediction did not bring any warning, so he turned off this skill and let the duration of insight reach one minute. He carefully went to the only separated bathroom, and pushed open the door. The two smells became stronger.

And in the field of vision of insight, the sewer outlet, the windowsill, and a bottle of used detergent on the sink were highlighted.

[Insight Tip]: "There is foam near the sewer outlet. According to analysis, it is produced by the detergent on the sink."

[Insight Tip]: "There is fine black ash attached to the wall of the sewer pipe and the edge of the window sill. The sewer is blocked."

[Insight Tip]: "Your mental power is insufficient, and the insight skill is turned off."

Wen Qi went to the windowsill to check. The edge and the outer wall were indeed covered with black ash, which felt very fine. From these two points, it can be seen that someone must have burned something here, and at first they wanted to flush the ash down the sewer, and then found that the amount was too large and hurriedly poured it out of the window.

What was poured out? Judging from the fineness and smell of the ash, it is likely to be feathers or paper, hair, is it paper with important information recorded?

Wen Qi turned over the drawers and wardrobes in the whole house, and opened the quilt and pillows. He looked for books everywhere, but did not find any traces of being torn. If the whole book was burned, his search would be in vain.

He scanned the room unwillingly, and searched everywhere he could, but found no other clues. He could only restore the room to its original state according to his memory, because from the situation inside the house, the owner left in a hurry and might come back again, so he couldn't let him notice that someone had come in.

Wen Qi closed the door again and took the key and crowbar to room 503. With a click, the key opened the door smoothly. The layout was similar to the next door, but compared with the clean and tidy 504, this place was very messy, full of traces of fighting everywhere, and there was a long bloodstain on the ground leading directly to the wardrobe.

In addition, a broken vase fell at the door, with a little blood on the fragments, and the carefully made leaf bookmarks were scattered on the ground, soaked in blood. There was also a key hanging on the door that was exactly the same as the one in his hand.

[Key]: "Key 503 with some rust and dirt."

"The blood on the vase fragments was not stained from the ground, because from the traces on the ground, the blood did not splash on the vase." Wen Qi muttered to himself.

[Based on the traces found so far, you have recalled some memories. ]

Gu Yu

As the system prompt sounded, intermittent images began to emerge in front of my eyes. I lived in the room for a long time, and everywhere was full of my traces.

Cooking in the kitchen, sitting in the living room writing a diary, cleaning carefully... until I seemed to be hit hard from the back of my head when I was wondering why I left.

This vase is my blood! I was attacked, and the large area of ​​blood in front of me should be...

Wen Qi looked at the closet where the blood led to, stepped into the room, and felt a tingling pain as soon as his feet landed. [Health -10] floated above his head. He looked down and found that he had stepped on the vase fragments.

He couldn't help but grin. He had been immersed in the clues and didn't even notice that he was barefoot. He looked at the shoe cabinet next to him. There was a pair of pink cartoon slippers on it. Although they were a little small and half of the foot was exposed, it was barely acceptable. It was better than being barefoot on the ground and breaking into pieces.

Danger was foreseen without warning.

"Insight." Since Wen Qi's mental power had just been used up, the duration of this skill was less than 20 seconds, so he had to speed up.

Many traces in the room were highlighted.

[Insight Tip]: "The fingerprints in the room belong to the same person, and no one with matching fingerprints has been found yet."

[Insight Tip]: "The bloody footprints on the floor match yours."

[Insight Tip]: "The fruit knife in the scabbard on the table has disappeared. I don't know where it went."

[Insight Tip]: "The closet is still dripping with blood. There may be something not so good hidden inside. Please be careful."

[Insight Tip]: "A few long black hairs fell on the bed. They came from a girl. It seems that this girl has signs of hair loss. Be careful not to stay up late to prevent baldness."

Does the closet need your tips? Anyone with a discerning eye can see it.

Wen Qi secretly complained, which relieved himself a little in this tense atmosphere. He took a deep breath and came to the closet and slowly opened it. What came into view was Li Shijing's body. She curled up in the closet with her eyes wide open, and blood kept flowing from her chest and abdomen.

The fruit knife that disappeared on the table is now stuck in her abdomen.

[Insight Tip]: "Congratulations on finding the lost fruit knife."

Sure enough, it was just as he expected.

Wen Qi sighed, and his hope that Li Shijing still had one last breath left to save her was shattered. When he glanced at the mirror in the closet, he found that his face had turned into the man he bumped into in front of the funeral home. It seemed that he was experiencing his story again.

Ta-da! Ta-da! Ta-da!

The blood dripped continuously, making a sound. Wen Qi lowered his head and looked down. This sight made him tense up. A pair of pale feet stood behind him without knowing when.
