An incense stick's worth of time was roughly fifteen minutes.
The three of us just stood there, waiting. It was normal.
After the incense burnt down, Goddess Wang breathed a sigh of relief and said that she was fine, that the ghost was just passing by.
Phantom players, I've seen such scenes in movies, I didn't expect to actually meet one like that.
"AHH!"
A scream suddenly came from Xiao Tingting's room.
"It's Big Sis Liu, why is she …"
Brother Zhou became anxious. He pushed me away and ran towards the bedroom.
Did little Tingting bite again?
Goddess Wang and I quickly followed her. When we stood at the door, we saw Big Sis Liu covering her arms while little Tingting was crying on the ground.
"Big Sis Liu, are you alright?" Brother Zhou looked at Little Tingting and asked.
Big Sis Liu's expression did not look good. "N-nothing."
Brother Zhou was concerned about her, so he pulled her arm to take a closer look. He noticed that there were deep teeth marks where he had covered her.
"Woo woo …"
Little Tingting cried even louder. I went over and picked her up, wiping the tears from my little face as I comforted her.
"Little Tingting, don't cry. If you cry, you'll become ugly."
Brother Zhou was furious and walked over to shout without asking.
"Don't get used to her. She bit someone twice a day. This kid can't be taught anymore, he's not good at learning!"
At this moment, Big Sis Liu awkwardly said, "It's not my fault. It's my fault."
"Mom, I want Mom." Little Tingting cried and made a ruckus.
Brother Zhou's eyes were red as he loudly shouted at Little Ting, "Your mother has gone somewhere far away, you will never be able to do it for the rest of your life … "Come back!"
At the end of his sentence, Brother Zhou choked up and covered his face with his hands.
"I'll be leaving first."
Big Sis Liu said those words before she turned around and walked out of the room.
Although I don't know what happened, I still believe in Sister Liu's character. She definitely wouldn't do anything to little Tingting in secret.
Goddess Wang gave me a meaningful glance. "Wang Qiang, send him off."
"Yes." I nodded, took the flashlight, and followed her out.
Outside, I comforted Big Sis Liu, "Don't be sad, it's normal for a child to miss her mother."
Big Sis Liu glanced at me, then lowered her head and said, "I don't blame her. It was my fault. I shouldn't have asked her that question."
As I shone my light on the stairs, I said, "What's the problem?"
Big Sis Liu gave a wry smile, "I asked Zhou Ting if I could be her mother."
I moved my mouth and swallowed the words.
It was too early. Wu Chunyan had just died over a month ago, and neither adults nor children could accept it.
They didn't say anything else along the way. When they reached Big Sis Liu's house on the first floor, she opened the door and said self-deprecatingly, "Maybe I was just thinking too much from the start."
"No, Brother Zhou is a good person. He's worth it. It's just that …" "I need time."
After saying that, I turned around and left, feeling extremely guilty.
Hopefully, Wu Chunyan will forgive me.
They were not in the mood for dinner, so after washing up, they hurried back to their rooms to sleep.
Lying on the bed, Brother Zhou tossed and turned, and I was sure that if he moved, I wouldn't be able to sleep either.
"Wang Qiang, are you asleep?" Brother Zhou whispered.
"Nope."
Brother Zhou got up, turned on the light, sat on the bed and asked me, "Tell me, should I explain everything to Big Sis Liu?"
Naturally, I understood what he meant, so I said, "That depends on how you feel about other people."
After handing me a cigarette, he shook his head in a daze and said, "I feel that if I were to let Chun Yan down like this, I'd be letting her down even more."
I took the lighter from the bedside table, lit up my cigarette, and took a deep breath. "In any case, you've already made up your mind. You're still young, and you still have a long way to go. It's only a matter of time before you pick up the string again."
Brother Zhou stopped talking and kept smoking.
He turned his head to the side and saw that a black shadow had suddenly fallen outside the window.
I was stunned. Maybe the residents upstairs were throwing garbage around. He also thought that it was impossible that the black shadow looked very much like — human.
The cigarette in his hand trembled and his heart suddenly shrank.
In less than three seconds, Big Sis Liu's scream came from downstairs.
"Ah, he jumped off the building, he's dead!"
Brother Zhou and I rushed over to the window to take a look. There was already a circle of people gathered below. In the middle of the room lay a man in a suit. His head was bleeding profusely.
It was him, Luo Yuping's younger brother!
He died with his eyes wide open, as if he was staring at someone.
Brother Zhou took one look, put on his coat carelessly, opened the door and ran out.
By the time I got there, Big Sis Liu was already in Brother Zhou's arms.
"So scared …" Dead people … "The dead …"
Someone had already called the police. The people from the Public Security Bureau were here soon. It was still the fat policeman who led the team. I heard the other policemen call him Captain Zhao.
After checking, Captain Zhao took pictures of the dead body. He put on his gloves and took out his phone and driver's license from the dead body.
He had come in a car, and there were details on his driver's license. I took a closer look and saw that his name was Luo Bin.
Captain Zhao saw me and frowned. A man in black walked up to him and whispered something in his ear.
"Hey, you're Luo Yuping? I'm the commander of the East District's Public Security Bureau, Zhao Guoxiong. "He jumped off the building. You'll be right over. The address is …"
In less than half an hour, Luo Yuping arrived.
She was wearing her hair and looked pretty. It seemed like she had come straight over after receiving the call.
"Is there anything wrong with your brother's mental state?" Zhao Guoxiong asked with a notebook in his hand.
"No, my brother is usually fine."
She shook her head with all her might.
She was still unwilling to accept this fact.
He took off the white cloth and took a look.
"Ah, Luo Bin."
Luo Yuping covered her mouth and burst into tears, losing control of her emotions.
Zhao Guoxiong asked her a few more questions, and then he couldn't continue.
The human nature was understandable.
One hundred and twenty people had their corpses removed while Luo Yuping was still crying. The policemen were helpless as they started to gather information from the crowd.
A few neighbors mentioned us, and others said they saw Luo Bin coming to the neighborhood alone in the afternoon.
To sum it up, the general meaning was that …
Shortly after six in the afternoon, just as it was getting dark, Luo Bin drove into the district and entered our building. He went in normally, then followed, and we were back.
Luo Bin ran out of the building and returned shortly after we entered.
At that time, he was very normal. When I looked at him, he even stopped to look at me a few times. It was as if he had suddenly become a different person.
After 6: 00, Big Sis Liu and little Tingting were in the room, but they didn't hear any knocking at all.
Anyway, this has nothing to do with us. This Luo Bin is the same. It's not a good idea to die where you are, but you have to die in the district.
In the evening, they were all brought to the Public Security Bureau.
During the interrogation, Luo Yuping's emotions stabilized, and after she told me a few details, she immediately caught my attention.
When the fat policeman asked her about Luo Bin's social connections, she said Luo Bin didn't have many friends. Ever since she married Zhang Dahai, Luo Bin had been working with him on the construction business.
Over at the gas station, he was also working with Zhang Dahai on the construction of the building for Wan Cheng Construction Company.
The deaths of Li Fu, Sun Monkey, Zhang Dahai, and Luo Bin were all related to that construction site.
This was a bit unbelievable.
Why would the courier Zhang Bo want to kill them? Could it be that they had done something to offend Zhang Bo, or took something that they shouldn't have taken?
Did Luo Bin come to the sector to save us?
At that time, he had ran out in a panic. It was very likely that he had seen Zhang Bo's ghost in the corridor.
Then, he quietly walked back. He must have been possessed by a ghost.
When we went back, he was probably the one who knocked on the door.
Zhang Bo had been following us the entire time. There was no doubt about that. Last time, we went upstairs. The lights went out on the first floor.
And the reason why Big Sis Liu was fine was because she wore a jade pendant around her neck.
I shared my thoughts with Brother Zhou and Goddess Wang, and they both nodded.
After the interrogation, the three of us called Luo Yuping aside and asked her if she knew Zhang Bo.
I told her it had a lot to do with his death.
Right now, there were only two scenarios.
The other was that the four of them knew Zhang Bo and had done something to let him down.
The four of them did not know Zhang Bo. It was just a coincidence that they had taken something that they should not have.
Luo Yuping wiped away her tears and shook her head, "I'm not sure. I only know that he used to do construction business with the sea. I don't know who he has befriended, but he never told me about it."
I shake my head and sigh. It seems that the clues have been cut off again.
Luo Yuping said faintly, "However, when it comes to Zhang Bo, my brother is a bit strange. He seems to be very scared. The last time I went to look for Zhang Bo, he didn't even go upstairs. "
The three of us looked at each other. We didn't hide anything from Luo Yuping and told her our speculations.
"So, my brother was killed by Zhang Bo?"
Luo Yuping grabbed my arm. She was very excited.
"It's just a guess," I said.
"No, I have to find Wu Xiuying. I have to get her to repay my brother's life!"
Luo Yuping was very excited and ran out.
I quickly pulled her back and said, "Where are you going? Wu Xiuying has already left. We've been staying at Zhang Bo's place for the whole day and she hasn't come back yet."
Luo Yuping was stunned, "How is that possible? She was in a car accident in the morning and is still lying in a bed in the People's Hospital."
Hearing this, I was shocked and turned to look at Brother Zhou. His eyes were as bright and shocked as mine.
Brother Zhou asked her, "Are you sure? We waited all day and didn't see anyone. "
"Why would I lie to you? When I received the news in the afternoon, I even called for someone to secretly buy fruit to see her." If I knew that her son wanted to harm my brother, I wouldn't have treated her well.
Luoyang choked with sobs as she spoke, venting out the anger in her heart.
"Let's go to the hospital now." Grandma Wang helped LuoYuping up from the wall and told me to drive the car out.
