Chapter 7: Girls Not Captured by Surveillance

"Why did you hear a knock on the door? There's no one outside..."

After seeing the footage from the surveillance footage, Li Xingyang looked bewildered.

Xie Peng said, "Are you stupid? Someone must be playing a prank and knocking on the door before running away. There are often children in my building who do this."

But if that's the case, it would be great.

Last night, Meng Yifan and I really saw a girl standing outside the door.

The camera I installed in the living room is directly facing the door. If the door is open, it can also capture the outside of the door, and even the elevator entrance outside the door.

But why did the surveillance cameras capture both Meng Yifan and me, but didn't capture that girl?

In this situation, Meng Yifan and I turned pale with fear, our minds were a bit short circuited, and we couldn't even think further.

The next surveillance footage should have been Meng Yifan reprimanding the girl and talking to her, but the footage didn't show the girl at all, causing Meng Yifan to mutter to himself and vent his anger in the air like a mental illness.

And I'm even more idiot, I'm watching him get angry in the air. At this moment, Xie Peng and Li Xingyang also realized something was wrong.

They looked at Meng Yifan, who was already stunned, and said, "Boss, who are you talking to?"

Meng Yifan trembled all over, opened his mouth, but couldn't say a word.

I estimate he's already scared out of his wits.

I trembled and said, "Last night someone knocked on the door, it was a girl. The girl also knocked on the door the day before yesterday, saying she was looking for a woman named Li Xiumei, and both Lao Meng and I saw her, but why didn't the surveillance show it..."

Xie Peng and Li Xingyang quickly stood up, looking at us with frightened expressions.

Li Xingyang quickly ran over and pulled open the curtains of the living room, hoping to let in the sunlight.

But the lighting in this house is relatively poor, even if the curtains are opened, the entire living room looks very dim.

"How... how could that be!"

"The surveillance cameras have captured both of you, how could they not capture the girl knocking on the door?"

The two of them couldn't figure it out, maybe they already understood something, but they didn't dare to say it.

And how should I explain it?

I can't even say that word, especially in the room where the incident occurred.

What I can't figure out is, if someone really died in this room, and that girl is a ghost... would she be the one who died in this room?

Is she Li Xiumei, but what does she want to do with herself?

If she's not Li Xiumei, then who is this Li Xiumei?

Thinking about the changes in those shoe prints, what I can't understand more is that if this room is really haunted, then this ghost, whether it came in or went out

Next, we will continue to check the surveillance.

As I thought, Meng Yifan and I were all sleepwalking. I had previously locked the door of the master bedroom before going to bed, but the surveillance footage showed that I was in a sleepwalking state, first unlocking it, and then opening the door again.

And Meng Yifan and I were still sleepwalking at the same time. Just like the previous night, we walked out of the master bedroom at exactly two o'clock.

We sat down on the sofa in the living room with our eyes tightly closed, and then Meng Yifan picked up the remote control and turned on the TV.

Seeing this, Meng Yifan had already collapsed on the ground.

The words fear seem to no longer express his current mood.

Xie Peng and Li Xingyang were even more frightened by us in the surveillance footage.

The atmosphere in the living room suddenly became somewhat oppressive, very quiet, with an indescribable strangeness that seemed to fill every corner of the room.

I stood up directly and walked into the master bedroom, lying in a zigzag shape on the bed.

Meng Yifan and his companions also followed in. Seeing me like this, they were immediately puzzled and asked what I was doing.

"If something really happened to this house, why hasn't it been recorded in the police 'internal files?"

I looked at the ceiling and said, "And the police have even sent people to visit this area, but they haven't found any results. So there's only one explanation: someone died here, but no one knows."

After listening to my analysis, Meng Yifan and his companions turned even whiter.

If we infer based on this explanation, it means that there has been a murder in this house before, and no one knows that the killer has killed anyone here.

"The buyer couple always says that they have a pair of eyes staring at them, and only feel this way when they are in the master bedroom. I suspect that the 'accident' room may be in the master bedroom."

The cement shoe print on the first night leads to the master bedroom.

The girl who came to see Li Xiumei last night also pointed to the master bedroom with her left hand.

All kinds of strange things combined, I have to suspect that the problem lies in the master bedroom.

"Er Dang Jia, don't scare us..." Xie Peng and Li Xingyang, two young people, were already so scared that they hugged each other.

Don't mention them, I'm almost peeing after watching the surveillance footage.

It's really unlucky to have such a thing happen.

Meng Yifan walked over and said, "But the two of us don't seem to feel anyone staring at us..."

I nodded, Meng Yifan only came for one night, and I stayed here for two nights. I really didn't feel the peeping sensation that the couple said.

"But they haven't experienced what the two of us have experienced, have they?"

If this couple also sleepwalked every night and experienced that girl knocking on the door every night, they would have told us long ago to check out.

"I also heard the sound of cement plastering the wall."

At this point in the development of the matter, I didn't have any concerns, so I told Meng Yifan.

After Meng Yifan finished listening, he was already foolish.

I said, "If there really are those eyes in this room, where do you think those eyes will be hidden?"

After hearing my words, Meng Yifan and his team all searched around to find the place where those eyes were hidden.

And the reason why I lie in bed is also to simulate the feeling of being stared at by the couple, and then search for those eyes.

ceiling?

Not very likely. The wall of the bedside table?

It's also unlikely because the outside of this wall is already the outside of the house, and the thickness of the wall is not thick.

The wall through the window is even more impossible, and the wall facing the bed, which is outside the living room and also the TV wall, is even less thick and cannot hide anything.

Then there's only the wall of the wardrobe left.

"Have you noticed that the space in the master bedroom is not quite normal, and the area is actually the same size as the second bedroom?"

Quickly, I discovered something was wrong and quickly communicated with Meng Yifan and his team.

People in our field may not necessarily study architecture, but they have a certain understanding of the construction and design of houses.

Normally, regardless of the size of a house, the master bedroom must be slightly larger than the second bedroom. Otherwise, how can we divide the master and second bedrooms?

But this house, the second bedroom is already not big, so theoretically the master bedroom should occupy a larger area, but this master bedroom is simply too small.

No designer in the world would design like this, let alone this house, which is still a large floor of over 100 square meters.

Unless... there was originally a larger space in this master bedroom.

Just that part of the space was deliberately hidden by people.
