It was an old woman with a hunchback and wrinkled face, leaning on a cane, standing silently a few meters away.

She looked straight at Dou Huai, and asked kindly, "I am a resident of this building, young man, what are you doing here?"

residents?In a neighborhood with constant deaths and rumors of being haunted?

Dou Huai glanced at the old woman's feet calmly, they were fine, there was a shadow, and the heels did not leave the ground, it was a living person.

He breathed a sigh of relief.

Thanks to the cleaning aunt in the novice task, Dou Huai now has ptsd for the elderly aunt.

He calmly put on a smiling face, "Grandma, I'm here to find someone. My friend lives in 101 of this building, do you know me?"

The old lady's grin widened, she nodded with a smile, "101 Xiao Zhao's family? Of course I know him, but his family has moved away long ago. What do you want to do with him? Are you in a hurry?"

coming!It's the smell of clues!

"It's very urgent," Dou Huai quickly made up a lie, "Zhao Dongshi owes me a lot of money, but I can't contact him at all now. Granny, do you know where their family moved?"

"That's it..." The old woman looked very confused, and she spoke slowly after a long while, "Xiao Zhao did leave me an address, but I am old and my memory is not good, so I wrote the address on the address at home. Notebook. Would you like to go back with me to get it, young man?"

The old woman had a hoarse voice and a short stature, as if she could be blown over by a gust of wind.But Dou Huai noticed that her eyes were unusually bright, and when she looked at her in the dark, the gaze she shot was like that of a wolf.

Dou Huai tightened his hands hidden in his sleeves, nodded and said, "Okay."

They walked into Building 2 one after the other.

The entrance to the corridor is very narrow and there is no door. Once you enter, you can see the dusty concrete walls and stairs.

Dou Huai tried to stomp his feet, but found that there were no voice-activated lights in the building.

"It's an old community, the environment is not good." Grandma climbed up the steps tremblingly, turned her head and smiled, "Young man, watch your step."

Dou Huai responded, and seized the time to look around.

The iron railings were rusty and covered with floating dust.Various sundries and garbage were scattered in the corners of the corridor, many small advertisements were pasted on the walls on both sides, and there were also some unknown graffiti and scratches.

There are three households on the first floor, and the doors of each household are tightly closed, and the handles are also covered with dust. It seems that no one has lived in it for a long time.

He focused on looking at the door of 101, and unconsciously fell behind.When I turned my head, I found that the old lady had already climbed up to the second floor.

Dou Huai hurriedly followed, but as he was walking, he suddenly felt something was wrong.

"The corridor is so dark. I just went to the first floor with a flashlight, but it didn't illuminate my grandma. In the absence of any light source, isn't an elderly person afraid of falling when climbing the stairs? I still walk too many times and get used to it." ?”

"And it's already past nine o'clock in the evening. She is an old man, and she just recruited me, a young man, into the house so casually? Isn't she afraid?"

"Also, she and Zhao Dongxi are just neighbors, why did Zhao Dongxi deliberately leave an address for an ordinary neighbor after moving?"

The feeling of disobedience became more and more serious, and Dou Huai's body tensed up when he thought of the murders in the community.

In this way, he followed his grandmother to the door of 301 on the third floor.

Grandma took out the key to open the door, and Dou Huai looked around.He was surprised to find that there were so many small advertisements on the wall on the third floor that it was extremely terrifying.Small palm-sized cards are everywhere, thick and thick, it doesn't look like a concrete wall, it looks like it's built with small advertisements.

"Is it the same for posting small advertisements now?"

Grandma's greeting interrupted his thinking at the right time, and Dou Huai walked into the door.

This is a standard two-bedroom, one-living room with old decoration and all rooms are closed.

The old lady fumbled to turn on the light, pointed to the small sofa in the living room and said, "Young man, sit down first, and grandma will make you a cup of hot tea."

"No, no," Dou Huai quickly declined, "It's disturbing you so late, please give me your address, and I'll leave right away."

"No hurry," the old lady opened the kitchen door with a smile, "I haven't seen anyone at home for a long time, I have to treat the old lady well."

After she finished speaking, she got into the kitchen, leaving only a gap for concealment.

Dou Huai barely hesitated, and walked over lightly.There were too many doubts about this mother-in-law, so he didn't feel relieved.

There was only one small lamp lit in the kitchen, and the dim light cast shadows in the room.With her back to the door, the old lady was standing in front of the stove, not knowing what she was busy with.

Soon, Dou Huai's eyes were attracted by two big guys in the corner.

Those are two high-power freezers, boxy and almost occupying most of the kitchen.The red light of the power supply is constantly flashing, and there is a "humming" working sound.

Dou Huai frowned, feeling something was wrong.

The elderly are generally very frugal. When his grandmother was still alive, the brightness of the TV was turned down to the lowest level at home, not to mention this kind of home appliance that consumes electricity, and he would not even buy it.

This grandma even bought two at once.

Is there anything that has to be frozen for long periods of time?

Suddenly, a "squeak" interrupted Dou Huai's thoughts.He followed the sound and found that the old woman was on tiptoe, looking for something from the cabinet above.

The lights were dim, and it was difficult to see what was in the cupboard.Grandma fumbled and accidentally knocked off a dark mass.

The ball was like seaweed, and fell to the ground with a "snap".

Grandma quickly picked it up, held it in her palm, and touched it lovingly.

Dou Huai's scalp exploded instantly!

Because with the help of the light, he could see clearly, where is the seaweed, it is clearly a big group of hair!

A mass of smooth, shiny black hair!

In the middle of the night, an old woman with a wrinkled face stroked and wiped her pitch-black hair. This scene was so weird no matter how you looked at it.

Dou Huai retreated stiffly to the sofa, his mind in a mess.

wig?Or real hair?What's in those two high-power freezers?As an elderly man, the action of bending over to pick up his hair just now was as swift as the wind. Is this reasonable?

Dou Huai remembered a news that he had read before, saying that there was a perverted murderer who often pretended to be a pregnant woman or an old woman, and went to the streets to lure kind-hearted people to go home with her.When she got home, she would stun people and kill them while they were not paying attention.

In order to preserve the corpse, the woman also bought a freezer and put it at home.

Will the two freezers in the old woman's kitchen also...

He seemed to have seen that the doors of the two freezers were opened, and broken arms and legs crawled out one by one, calling him softly, "Excuse me, have you seen my hair?"

Dou Huai was thinking wildly when the opposite bedroom door suddenly opened a small crack.

A woman was looking straight through the gap.

Her eyes were bloodshot, and she squatted on the ground, her exposed eye was full of greed.

That gaze reminded Dou Huai of the old lady in the village who saw the big elbow on the table when she attended the wedding banquet.

It's just that this time the big elbow has become himself.

He jumped up from the sofa all at once.

"Little tooth, don't make trouble."

The grandma who came out of the kitchen happened to see this scene, and hurried over to close the bedroom door, then turned around and said to Dou Huai apologetically, "I'm sorry, I scared you. This is my daughter. She had a high fever when she was a child, and her brain was broken." I usually don't let her out, but today she is a little too hungry, don't mind."

too hungry?

Dou Huai still had that half of his face in his head, and he watched the old woman pour tea into the cup.

What do you want to eat?Do you want to eat meat?

Dou Huai looked away and forced himself to calm down, "Grandma, since your daughter is hungry, go and make her something to eat first. Don't worry about me, I'll take the address and leave."

"It's not in a hurry," the grandmother said gently, "the food is not ready yet, you can drink some tea first. If there is nothing else, can you help my grandmother prepare dinner later? I am old and my legs are not very flexible. If someone It would be great to help."

At the end, the old lady showed a very sincere expression on her face, which seemed very soft-hearted.

The dim yellow light above the head was silently on, and the strong aroma of tea filled the room.

Dou Huai glanced at his watch, it was exactly 10:15.

In the middle of the night, ask strangers to help cook at home.Grandma, you are short of writing the word "weird" all over your body!

How to do?Walk?

But she still has clues!

Dou Huai's eyes wandered and turned around.

There are two cups on the TV cabinet, and there is a photo of the old woman and a woman on the wall, which should be the one in the bedroom.There are a few rubber bands and hairpins on the coffee table, all of which are for women. There seems to be no man in this family.

When she was struggling, grandma suddenly stood up. Seeing that Dou Huai hadn't moved for a long time, she acquiesced that he agreed, so she quickly picked up the teacup and handed it over, "Young man, moisten your throat first, grandma will show you something tonight." .”

Dou Huai's whole body was tense, he was afraid that the tea with something added would splash into his mouth, so he reached out his hand to push the tea away.But unexpectedly, the movement was too big, and the hammer hidden in the sleeve fell out all of a sudden.

"Bang!"

The hammer hit the table with a loud bang.

Granny: "..."

Dou Huai: "..."

Their eyes met, and there was a deathly silence in the air.

Grandma's expression changes are very exciting. After all, she never thought about why this kind-hearted and innocent boy would carry a hammer with him.

The kind that can cut heads.

In the end, it was Dou Huai who broke the deadlock. He picked up the hammer and put it across his chest, whispering, "Grandma... I said I just wanted to show you a hand, do you believe me?"
