Mysterious country

Sitting on the bed in the hotel, Xia Qi subconsciously thought about the solution to this incident, but as soon as he entered the state, there was a knock on the door.

Getting off the bed and opening the door, it turned out to be Zhao Anguo and Shen Ruotong outside the door.

The faces of both people were more or less full of expectation, obviously they wanted to hear the "clue" that Xia Qi mentioned to them before.

"You are here just in time, so I will tell you my speculation. If you feel something is inappropriate, you can interrupt me directly and tell me what you think."

"Senior's guess must be correct, there is no need to interrupt."

Xia Qi had almost gotten used to Zhao Anguo's almost mind-numbing admiration in the past two days, so he just smiled. However, Shen Ruotong still couldn't stand it and glared at Zhao Anguo:

"I really don't know what's going on in your mind every day."

"Of course I'm thinking about how to solve this incident."

"I see that you are thinking about how to flatter someone and be funny."

"Senior, listen to what Sister Ruotong said. He said that I was flattering. Can't I still have someone to admire? To be honest, it was just flattering?"

Although Shen Ruotong was complaining about him, Zhao Anguo still had a playful smile on his face and didn't take it seriously at all.

"Okay, stop talking about these useless things and talk more about the real stuff."

Although Shen Ruotong criticized Zhao Anguo with her mouth, she had already recognized Xia Qi's analytical ability in her heart. She said this mainly because she couldn't stand Zhao Anguo's licking when he had nothing to do.

But now that Xia Qi has spoken, the two of them no longer care about it, and both focus on Xia Qi.

“There are several doubts that have been troubling us since this incident developed.

For example, if a deceased victim returns home, how exactly do they get back home?

The victim, whom we thought was dead at first, came home from get off work as if he were alive, passed through the gate of the community and entered the residential building.

But after watching several surveillance videos of the victims, we were able to rule out this. That is, there was no surveillance video record of the victims who had died before.

In other words, the surveillance video did not capture them returning home at all.

Then, there is the staircase that you captured before, but then suddenly disappeared without a trace.

What's that staircase? Why does it suddenly appear and why does it suddenly disappear? What is the significance of its appearance?

At the beginning, we still had no clue. It wasn't until we met with He Chong's manager and several employees who were on a business trip with him not long ago that we finally figured it out.

As for the third doubt, that is why the ghost specifically targets people who have just moved into the attic.

Regarding this issue, I have said before that we cannot treat ghosts with human logic. But we can also see some clues from some of the ghosts' actions.

For example, what we first speculated is the conditions under which they choose to kill.

I just moved to Dongyu District and live on the top floor.

These are the three doubts that have been troubling us in this incident. "

Xia Qi made a brief summary, obviously telling Zhao Anguo that I will solve these three doubts next.

Zhao Anguo and Shen Ruotong also knew what Xia Qi meant, so no one interrupted them and waited for Xia Qi's next explanation:

"Through our stay that day, we have been able to confirm that the people who died earlier did not return home from outside.

So where did they come back from?

My guess is from the top floor.

They went from the top floor, the extra 8th floor, down to the 7th floor where their home is located.

This also explains the meaning of the staircase that suddenly appeared and then disappeared.

That staircase was the way to that non-existent floor, and it was by that staircase that the deceased returned home.

It also explains the third doubt, which is why the ghost only kills people on the top floor. Because the closest to that staircase is the top floor. "

When Xia Qi said this, Shen Ruotong couldn't help but interrupted in confusion:

"But why include people who just moved in? And why do you do this?"

"I still say the same thing, we can see some clues from the behavior of ghosts, but we must know that they are ghosts, not criminals who commit crimes quietly and are afraid of being discovered by the police.

Of course, another possibility cannot be ruled out, that is, the ghost is indeed afraid of something.

If the ghosts killed everyone living on the top floor, hundreds or even thousands of people would die in the huge Dongyu District. Do you think the company would still send ordinary employees like us here when such a big thing happens? "

"You mean to say that ghosts and companies are actually like police and criminals to a certain extent, fearing each other and becoming enemies of each other?"

"That's definitely the case. The company's event-solving assessment doesn't force us to solve supernatural events. I don't need to say this to seniors, I can answer it."

Zhao Anguo explained before Xia Qi.

After hearing this, Xia Qi nodded in agreement and echoed:

"Anguo is right. The company shows an attitude of not letting supernatural events invade reality. There is nothing to say about this."

Shen Ruotong said nothing, wondering what he was thinking about.

Xia Qi didn't want to waste time and continued:

"The general outline of this incident, in my opinion, is this:

There is a movable area on the first floor. This area can only be attached to the top floor and can only affect the people on the top floor who have just moved into the top floor.

Take Zhang Chen and Zhang Xiaoxiao as examples.

It will kill Zhang Chen first, and then Zhang Chen will come back to life, come down from that weird area, return home, and then kill Zhang Xiaoxiao.

This is also the reason why the time of death of the two of them is different. "

"Senior, Wang Qianhua and He Chong died together? They should be together."

"If you think about it carefully, in the previous cases, the people who suddenly left home were killed first, and the people at home were killed last. This may mean that one of the two people does not have to die first. The difference really comes down to whether they have someone left at home.

If someone stays at home, there will be a difference in the time of death. On the other hand, if no one is at home, they may die at the same time. "

Just when Xia Qi was about to continue talking, his cell phone suddenly rang. The caller was from the Dongyu District Police Station.

Xia Qi answered the call, and Wang Tou's voice came out:

"Both people are dead, and their bodies were also dismembered. The two people died at the same time, and they were both dead for almost five days..."
