Chapter 33 Face (I)

The property management staff on duty didn't know what Ray was talking about, and asked in confusion: "Do you still want to continue watching the surveillance?"

Ray nodded: "Please turn the surveillance to yesterday, and browse this surveillance point at three times the speed to see if these two people appear."

After speaking, he took out two photos, which were photos of Rainy's parents Peter and Anna. These photos should have been taken recently, and it is unknown how Ray got them.

The duty officer took the photo and asked in surprise: "Aren't you following me?"

Ray shook his head: "I'll go to Unit 1, Building 7. Help me open the door to the unit, and then you can come over to continue watching the surveillance. I'm going to go upstairs where this family lives to have a look."

The duty officer took a property management access card as he was told, walked in front to lead the way, and asked curiously: "Mr. Officer, has something happened to this family?"

Ray smiled: "Three years ago, his family's Wangcai bit a neighbor and insisted that it was the neighbor who bit himself. The neighbor didn't believe it and bit himself, but he was infected with bacteria and died. Then the family took Wangcai away overnight."

The duty officer was stunned and came back to his senses after a long time, showing a puzzled expression: "Is his neighbor... ZZ?"

"Haha, maybe, possibly, probably." Ray smiled helplessly.

For special cases, the investigation team's consistent practice is to control the scope of knowledge and not allow it to cause widespread panic among the general public.

If the investigation shows that there is nothing unusual about Rainy's family, at most they can clarify with the property management and say that the Public Security Bureau has found the wrong person.

The two quickly came to the downstairs of Unit 1 of Building 7. After the duty officer opened the access control, he stretched out his hand to pull the door to prevent it from closing by itself, and said: "Mr. Officer, if his family's Wangcai is still here, I can go and pull Lai Fu from the security room over now. We may not lose to Wangcai in a fight."

This time it was Ray's turn to be stunned for a moment, and he quickly waved his hand: "No, no!"

He pulled his messy hair by the way, and walked into the unit building. When he looked back, the property management duty officer was muttering something and had left.

Ray took the elevator directly to the 8th floor. There were four households on each floor of this unit building, and Rainy's home was No. 8-2.

After looking at the house number and walking to the door of No. 8-2, Ray first looked down at the bottom of the door, then took a deep breath, and stood silently at the door.

Opposite the door of the room was the stairwell. It was pitch black inside, but Ray seemed to be able to hear some movement.

He turned his head and looked, but found nothing.

Then he took out a golden pen from his pocket and knocked on the door.

As a veteran police officer in the special case investigation team, Ray was very clear about some routines for handling special cases.

People who can enter the investigation team usually have low mental control. He is much better than ordinary people in controlling his mind.

Of course, although they have strong mental power, they are still just ordinary people, not supermen. In addition to having great courage and strong handling ability, they are not easily disturbed by the mind.

As expected, after knocking on the door twice, there were indeed slow and unhurried footsteps in the house.

This family has been there all the time!

Not long after, the door was opened, and a middle-aged man held the door handle with his right hand, stood in the house, staring at the outside silently.

Because the lights were on outside the corridor, but not inside the house, the person standing inside the door seemed dim and blurry, and it was not very clear.

Ray tried to open his eyes wide, but still couldn't see the face of the person in the room. He raised his police ID and said, "Excuse me, is this Rainy's home?"

"Yes." The man in the room replied calmly.

"Sorry to wake you up so early." Ray smiled.

The man in the room said, "It's okay, I'm up. What can I do for you?"

"I'm looking for some information from Rainy, uh, about the Qiguang Orphanage." Ray said.

The person in the room seemed to nod.

"Come in." He took a step back and reached out to turn on the light at the door.

It was not until this time that Ray finally saw the man's face clearly.

He was about to enter the house, but after seeing the face of the man in front of him clearly, he was slightly stunned.

Because the middle-aged man was smiling at him.

At first glance, the smile seemed normal, but at second glance, it seemed fake.

His facial features were stiff, the corners of his mouth were upturned, and the skin at the end of his eyebrows was squeezed together to form wrinkles. Most importantly, the man seemed to be smiling when he stared at him in the dark. The smiling expression in the dark was enough to make people feel scared and creepy after thinking about this scene.

The middle-aged man put away his smile, turned around and walked into the house, saying, "Come in, no need to change shoes."

Ray hesitated for a moment, walked in, and soon his nose wrinkled slightly.

The curtains in the room were drawn, and no light came in. A faint strange smell filled the room.

The decoration and furnishings in the room were no different from those of an ordinary family. It was just right, but Ray felt that there was an indescribable smell.

This middle-aged man was Peter, the male owner of the room, and Rainy's father.

Ray recognized him at a glance when he turned on the light just now.

In Ray's opinion, not only Rainy, but perhaps even Peter has become abnormal.

Peter turned and walked into the living room without looking back to see if he entered the room.

Taking this opportunity, after Ray walked into the room, he did not close the door, but opened it completely, and used his foot to push a shoe box against the door to prevent it from closing by itself.

Peter stood in the middle of the living room, still with his back to Ray, and pointed to the sofa beside him: "Sit down."

"Okay, you're welcome." Ray did not intend to sit down, but took two steps forward and stood not far from the door of the living room.

"Where is Rainy?"

"She's still sleeping."

Peter answered, walked to the water dispenser next to the TV, turned on the hot water switch of the water dispenser, and then took out a box of tea and a paper cup, and put some tea in the paper cup.

After doing this, he looked back at Ray and found that he was still standing not far from the door of the living room.

"Why don't you come and sit?"

Looking from Ray's direction, Peter's expression was very normal now, without the weird smile just now.

"It won't take too long, no need." Ray made up an excuse, "Please ask Rainy to come out..."

At this moment, he instinctively felt that there seemed to be something strange behind him.

Before he finished speaking, he turned around immediately.

In his sight, a person's forehead was almost touching the tip of his nose.

Ray immediately took two steps back, his heart pounding, and looked carefully, and saw a middle-aged woman in gray pajamas with her head slightly lowered, her hands hanging down, her eyes squinting upwards, standing there and staring at him without blinking.
