"Where did she go?" Mu Qin looked around the dilapidated corridor but did not see the female teacher. He couldn't help asking Cheng Guoxu and Qiu Zijia next to him, "You didn't see where she was going. Right?"

"The ghost knows where to go. I didn't see the figure when I came out." Qiu Zijia was depressed and angry. "What's the matter with this woman, please don't let the wind run around at the door, just be the wind in your ears?"

"Will someone kidnapped?" Mu Qin said and looked at Cheng Guoxu. When they searched, Cheng Guoxu was the closest to the door, and Han Li's movements should be visible.

Cheng Guoxu understood Mu Qin's eyes and shook his head to Mu Qin and said, "I didn't see where she was going. I felt like she was still there one second before, but disappeared the next second."

"This is in trouble." Cheng Guoxu's words made Mu Qin frowned embarrassed.

And Qiu Zijia said: "Don't worry about her, since she is left behind, it means that she is looking for death on her own."

"What I want to know is whether she left by herself or was taken away. If the former is okay, we can leave it alone. But if it is the latter..." Muqin sighed, "It is very Trouble."

Qiu Zijia said: "Do you think that woman will go away by herself?"

"I don't know." Muqin shook his head.

As soon as Muqin's voice fell, everyone suddenly heard a sharp scream from the stairwell at the end of the corridor.

This scream was obviously a female voice. Mu Qin and the others instantly recognized that it was Han Li's voice. They looked at each other. Qiu Zijia was still a bit hesitant, but Mu Qin had already walked towards the source of the sound.

"Wait a minute!" Qiu Zijia reached out to stop Mu Qin from letting him go, and said at the same time, "Don't go there, what if it's a trap?"

Mu Qin turned to look at Qiu Zijia: "So you don't want to save her, right?"

Qiu Zijia was a little embarrassed, so she didn't reply. He really didn't want to save Han Li. To put it bluntly, Qiu Zijia was not a just and awe-inspiring person. In the face of possible and unknown dangers, he only wanted to protect himself.

Mu Qin didn't speak either. He stared at Qiu Zijia with dark and deep eyes. He was so calm that Qiu Zijia couldn't help feeling horrified.

Qiu Zijia found that Mu Qin seemed to be too calm. Since the first time they met, Mu Qin's face has not changed much. Whether it is a smile, anger, or surprised expression, he is faint, and his tone is also cold.

Muqin said: "This is the second floor. This apartment has five floors. Only the left end of the corridor has a staircase for up and down. Unless we jump from the window in the corridor, it doesn't matter if we want to go up or down. You have to go through that stairwell."

"And Han Li's voice just came from the stairwell. No matter what, if you don't want to be blocked here, you must pass." Mu Qin said and looked towards the end of the corridor, on the corridor over there. There seems to be something wrong with the lamp, which is flickering and dimming.

Han Li made no other sound after screaming, and the apartment building of the orphanage fell into deathly silence.

Mu Qin took the lead. He broke off a steel pipe as a weapon from the heating pipe on the side of the corridor by the window. The steel pipe was so corroded that it was easy to break off.

Cheng Guoxu and Qiu Zijia followed him, they walked lightly and quickly towards the stairwell, and then they found that the lights at the corner of the stairwell had been turned off by somebody. It was obvious that they had all turned off when they came up. The light is turned on.

"Han Li!?" Mu Qin shouted at the pitch-black stairwell. His voice echoed in the narrow aisle, but he could not hear any response.

If only there was a flashlight.

Mu Qin thought so, but had to hold the rusty steel pipe in his hand, bent his back against the wall, and started walking downstairs.

Qiu Zijia and Cheng Guoxu stood at the top of the stairs and hesitated for a while, but they still leaned forward to heel.

Mu Qin walked down a flight of stairs against the wall, and touched the light switch at the corner of the stairwell. At this time, Mu Qin smelled a strange fishy smell in the air. He was familiar with the smell, so he felt With some preparation, I pressed the switch to illuminate this small area.

"My god!" Qiu Zijia immediately cried out in horror when the lights turned on. He jumped three feet high, and he couldn't help but stick to Mu Qin's back.

In front of them, a person who didn’t know whether he was alive or dead was lying on the steps at the corner of the stairs. The person was covered in blood. The blood was splashed on the wall. There was a huge wound on his back, which was obviously What sharp weapon did the person use to scratch.

The man seemed to be struggling for a long time before he died, and the **** handprints remained on the wall beside him.

"He... is he dead?" Qiu Zijia has lived for 28 years and basically hasn't seen blood. The conditions in his family are good, and his parents are very spoiled. He has not been allowed to do heavy work, and there are no chickens. Killed one, let alone suddenly saw such a **** dead person.

At this moment, Qiu Zijia was trembling with fear, hiding behind Mu Qin and shaking, but Cheng Guoxu next to him was much calmer than him, although Cheng Guoxu's face was a little pale.

Mu Qin stabilized his mind for a while, walked over to squat down, and stretched out his hand to feel the pulse on the opponent's neck. He started to feel a little warm. It may be that there was residual temperature shortly after he died, but he couldn't feel the pulse anymore.

Mu Qin said solemnly: "It seems to be dead."

Qiu Zijia shivered: "This guy is not Han Li, he looks like he is a man."

"It's not Xu Fu, he doesn't have a similar body shape. It should be the one among the six people mentioned by Xu Fu that has not been found." Mu Qin stretched out his hand and grabbed the corpse's arm, trying to turn the person over. face.

"Don't, he is full of blood!" Qiu Zijia seemed afraid, and wanted to stop Mu Qin, but Mu Qin had already turned the person over. But turning it over was useless, because after turning it over, everyone found that the corpse’s face was also full of blood, and it looked like it had been scratched with a very large mouth of blood, from the left eye to the right chin, so the whole face was flesh and blood. Fuzzy.

Qiu Zijia leaned her head to take a look at the corpse's terrible face, and couldn't help covering her eyes with her hand: "Mom, it's so miserable, I can't see what it looks like at all."

Mu Qin did not pay attention to this. He carefully observed the body shape of the dead body. The figure of the deceased was actually very good. It should be a big man of about 1.8 meters. His arms, chest and abdomen were very strong. Mu Qin pulled away. On the sleeves and placket, tight and strong muscles can be seen.

Such a man of very good height and physique shouldn't be killed easily, especially since he didn't make any noise before he died.

Just now, Mu Qin, Qiu Zijia and others were searching on the second floor, and the man died at the corner of the stairs from the first floor to the second floor.

If he is struggling to call for help, Muchin and the others can hear him.

Unless this stairwell is not the first scene of death, someone dragged his body to the corner of the stairs after killing this guy.

However, this behavior is meaningless, time-consuming and laborious, and Muqin can't think of a reason for the murderer to do this.

Thinking Muqin couldn't help grasping the arm of the corpse, and Bala looked at the neckline of his clothes carefully, trying to discover more details from the corpse.

Then, Muqin discovered that the fatal injury to the corpse was probably a bone-in-depth cut in his neck, which may have damaged his carotid artery. Therefore, there were a lot of blood stains on the ground and the walls everywhere.

Mu Qin is not a forensic doctor, and cannot identify the severity of these injuries, but he guessed that this person might have encountered the so-called "killer" or "ghost", and then he was stabbed in the neck by the ghost, and he covered his neck. He wanted to escape, but was hurt by the ghost on his face and back.

Because of a stabbing on the neck, the vocal cords may have been damaged, so there was no voice calling for help. This is why Muqin and others did not hear a voice on the second floor.

And...

Mu Qin followed the blood stains under the corpse and looked down the stairs. This person may have come from the outside courtyard. A lot of blood was dripped along the way he came. Following these blood stains, you should be able to find this person's encounter. The first scene of the attack.

Qiu Zijia has calmed down a bit now, not shivering as before. Although his face is still pale, he still mustered up the courage to cover his nose and squat beside Mu Qin.

"The female teacher probably screamed when she saw the corpse." Qiu Zijia muffled and said to Mu Qin, "She might have seen the killer, so she ran away."

Mu Qin declined to comment on Qiu Zijia's opinion. He is still observing the body.

"There are two footprints." Muqin said suddenly.

Qiu Zijia did not respond: "What?"

Mu Qin pointed to the blood stain next to the corpse, where there were obvious footprints left by the foot stepping on the blood stain.

"One is a woman." Muqin pointed to the footprint that looks relatively small, and then pointed to the obviously larger footprint next to him, "This should be a killer."

"The two footprints were very close, and the woman's footprint disappeared within a few steps. I am afraid it was caught by the killer and carried away." Muqin used simple traces to infer what might have happened in the scene.

And Qiu Zijia looked at Mu Qin in shock: "Brother, you are amazing. Are you a soldier or a detective?"

Mu Qin sighed and said, "This is the basic investigative ability."

After speaking, Mu Qin stood up from the corpse, he was still holding the corpse's arm, and now he subconsciously wanted to let go. However, at this moment, I don't know if it was Mu Qin's illusion, Mu Qin felt the arm of the corpse in his hand tremble suddenly.

This made Muqin startled, his eyes widened sharply, and he stared down at the corpse.

But the corpse is still a corpse. This man who looks good in shape has already lay on the ground and turned into a piece of dead flesh that is beginning to rot.

Maybe it is the muscle contraction caused by nerve twitching after death. Mu Qin thought to himself, but still squinted at the corpse for a long time.

Until Qiu Zijia next to him felt something was wrong, he watched nervously the wind and grass around him, the sky had completely darkened, and it started to rain, the air became damp and cold, and he could still vaguely hear raindrops falling on the concrete floor. The sound on the dirt.
