This actor is full of tricks.

Chapter 67 Trap
After leaving Room 3, Lin Jue pulled the landlord to the corridor. Looking at the workers who were constantly carrying boxes upstairs, he lowered his voice and asked, "You said this new tenant is called Wu Fang?"

"Is there any problem?" The landlord looked nostalgic and seemed to like the new tenant very much. "I have never seen such a beautiful woman in my life."

Judging from the guy's appearance, he has never seen that woman before. The name Wu Fang is indeed very common.

After a few seconds of silence, Lin Jue asked, "Do you still remember the previous tenant of Room 3, also named Wu Fang?"

As soon as he finished speaking, he noticed that the landlord was staring at him strangely.

"Fu Yu, did your memory become distorted after you went out? Room 3 was always empty before. How could there be any tenants?"

As he spoke, he reached out and touched Lin Jue's forehead: "You don't have a fever. I thought you were just confused by the fever."

Room 3 has always been empty?
Then who was written in Fu Yu’s diary?
Or is the landlord lying?
A new tenant moved into the room that had been empty for a long time, and the name matched the one in Fu Yu's diary. What was going on?

"Maybe I remembered it wrong." Lin Jue's face did not show any unusual emotions, and he still looked cold.

"Ouch!"

At this moment, a worker holding a box suddenly tripped while going up the stairs. The wooden box fell to the ground and a corner was broken, revealing the contents inside.

It has a gray plaster-like luster.

"Are you okay?" Lin Jue walked over and helped the worker up, while picking up the box.

Looking inside through the hole, the box contained a human head sculpture, but it was not realistic in style, but abstract.

With round eyes, a pointed mouth, a thin face, and a rectangular nose, it doesn't look like a human, but rather like a humanoid creature.

"It's a statue."

"This Wu Fang is obviously the neighbor mentioned in Fu Yu's diary, but why did the landlord say that Room 3 has always been empty? Is he lying to me? This shouldn't be the case. He didn't realize that I was a fake Fu Yu, so he couldn't possibly be lying to me..."

"Could it be that Fu Yu possesses some kind of prophetic ability? He wrote down future events in his diary, but there's also a novelist in the diary, and the novelist didn't appear..."

Lin Jue frowned. The beginning of this plot was full of doubts, and problems followed one after another.

"I don't know why that woman would carry so many boxes, really..."

The worker was about to complain, but after seeing Lin Jue's scarred face, he paused, said thank you, and hurriedly took the box and left.

The move lasted until noon. Lin Jue walked out and looked for the store mentioned in Fu Yu's diary.

Five minutes later, he stopped outside a small grocery store. The owner was an old man in his sixties, lazily lying on a lounge chair, basking in the sun.

"The diary says there's only one store a few hundred meters away. This must be it."

Lin Jue walked over and called out softly, "Boss."

"Hmm?" The old man opened his eyes slightly. He seemed to be very familiar with Fu Yu. He smiled and stood up from the recliner: "Young man, I haven't seen you for a long time. Where have you been?"

"I went out to do something." Lin Jue walked into the store and took two bags of laundry detergent from the counter. When paying, he pretended to ask casually, "Boss, do you remember that there was a female tenant in the house I lived in before? It happened about a month ago."

This is the only shop open nearby, so Wu Fang had to come here to buy things before, so the owner should have remembered it.

Maybe you can find out from the boss which one has the problem, the landlord or the log.

"You mean that beautiful woman who wears a black dress every day?" The shopkeeper said as he was giving the change, "Of course I remember. There aren't many people on this street anyway. Even though I'm old, I still have a good memory."

"That woman often comes to my shop with her husband to buy things. I heard that her husband is a novelist. What's his name..."

"Crazy..."

"Feng Jue Thirteen." Lin Jue added.

"Yes, yes, that's the name." The boss handed a few wrinkled bills to Lin Jue: "The writer also brought his own novel to sell to me. I flipped through it, but I, an old man, couldn't understand it, so I didn't buy it." Lin Jue put the money in his pocket, picked up the laundry detergent, thanked the boss, and turned back.

There is nothing wrong with Fu Yu's diary; the problem lies with the landlord.

Wu Fang is indeed Wu Fang, the landlord is lying.

"Why did the landlord lie to me? The disappeared Wu Fang moved back again."

"Wu Fang disappeared around the same time as Fu Yu. After Wu Fang disappeared, Fu Yu followed suit. Now that 'Fu Yu' is back, Wu Fang has returned too."

"Are the landlord and Wu Fang planning something?"

Lin Jue walked downstairs and looked up.

Coincidentally, he saw Wu Fang standing by the window. She also noticed him, smiled at him, and then suddenly pulled the curtains.

Lin Jue withdrew his gaze, walked back to the room, took out Zhou Yue's white coat, threw it in the basin, poured some laundry detergent and water into it to soak it.

This white coat is covered in black blood stains. It needs to be cleaned.

He sat down at the desk again and took out the novel called "Trap" from the pile of novels.

The cover of the novel is a picture of a beautiful rose blooming against a pure black background, but the thorns on the rose branches are actually sharp knives, with blood dripping from the tips.

"trap"

Feng Jue's Thirteenth Move.

There are these bright red words on the title page.

I was walking on a path called love. I thought it was the thorns of the rose that scratched me, but I didn’t know it was the sharp blade that killed me.

After reading this introduction, Lin Jue probably guessed that this novel was mostly about a story of betrayal by a lover, which should be similar to the previous script of "Under the Bed", where the closest person to the bed eventually becomes the murderer who kills oneself.

It was not until the evening that Lin Jue finished reading the last page of the novel.

Just as he guessed, this novel tells the story of a rich man who meets a very beautiful woman. The woman is gentle, virtuous, graceful and generous, and soon makes the rich man fall for her.

But in fact, this is just a woman's careful disguise, all for the purpose of making the rich man fall into the sugar-coated trap.

The woman was a leech who greedily absorbed all the rich man's wealth, drained it completely, and then dumped him.

But the rich man was unwilling to break up like this, and kept saying that he would sue the woman and recover all the money. Finally, the woman became evil-minded and teamed up with her lover to kill the rich man with a fruit knife and buried the body in a rose field.

The story ends here, and the woman's final fate is not mentioned in this novel.

Moreover, this novel is written in the first person of a wealthy man, which makes people feel as if the author is writing his own story.

"Fu Yu's diary said that one day Feng Jue Shisan and Wu Fang had a conflict because Feng Jue Shisan had cheated on her. Then Feng Jue Shisan disappeared, and a sculpture appeared in Wu Fang's house."

"In the novel, the rich man's girlfriend also cheated on him and teamed up with her lover to kill him."

"Furthermore, this novel was sold to Fu Yu by Feng Jue Shisan. Did this writer realize that Wu Fang would attack him? So he sold this novel to Fu Yu in order to get him to call the police."

Suddenly, Lin Jue's eyes moved.

Is it possible that the person Wu Fang cheated with was the landlord?

Wu Fang killed Feng Jue Shisan at that time, and the incident was overheard by Fu Yu. Because the conflict was very loud, Wu Fang knew that Fu Yu must have heard it, so she also wanted to join forces with the landlord to get rid of Fu Yu.

As a result, Fu Yu suddenly disappeared, and Wu Fang had no idea what to do, so she had to move away.

A month later, he returned here pretending to be Fu Yu. The landlord, who was Wu Fang's lover, began to tip off everyone, so Wu Fang moved back and wanted to take action again!
