Chapter 62: The Mystery of Rainy's Neighbor

Jack has developed a habit. Whenever he is about to go out to investigate an incident related to abnormal phenomena, he will put the necessary tools such as telescopic sticks and flashlights into his backpack in advance, ready to deal with any unexpected events.

He took a taxi to the Jujiayuan community in the city center. According to Jack's speculation, if Rainy's memory is accurate, then if the neighbor named Tree encountered abnormal phenomena, whether he infected Rainy or Rainy infected him, it is impossible that there is no sign until now. He should have some abnormal behavior, just like Rainy. In this way, people who have contact with him will definitely notice it and call the police immediately.

However, in fact, the police did not receive any alarm calls about Tree. This information was just fed back to him by Lily, and when he was about to arrive at Jujiayuan, Lily sent the company phone number of Tree that she had just found. At the same time, there was also a temporary investigator's case handling certificate of Jack, which had a number on it, and he could call the police to directly check the authenticity.

Jack checked the electronic case certificate, which also had a six-pointed star pattern on it, which was the standard for special case investigation teams.

After getting off the taxi, Jack did not enter the community immediately, but stood outside the community gate and called Tree's company.

The phone rang a few times, and soon someone answered it. It was a female voice with a sweet voice.

"Hello, Huitong Logistics."

"Hello, is Tree there? I have something to talk to him about." Jack said.

The woman who answered the phone was obviously stunned for a moment, and quickly replied: "He has been on leave these days and is not in the company."

"How long has he been on leave? The phone can't be reached." Jack said deliberately.

The woman who answered the phone was surprised: "Yes, Manager Qian was on the phone with him yesterday."

"Oh, did he change his number? The number here is the one he used three years ago." Jack still said deliberately.

"No, he has used this number for a long time, please remember 178..."

"Yeah, thank you!" Jack hung up the phone and immediately dialed the number he had just written down.

In fact, it is easy to find Tree's mobile phone number. Just ask the investigation team and you can find it quickly. But since he was not in the company that called Tree, Jack did not want to let the investigation team check it. Instead, he simply got Tree's number from the woman.

He had just called Tree when the gate of the community was opened by a resident who came out. Jack held the door and walked in directly after the man came out.

The phone rang about six or seven times before it was connected.

"Hello?" There was a hoarse male voice on the other end of the phone. The environment should be very quiet and no other noise could be heard.

"Hello, sir, your takeaway." Jack imitated the voice of the takeaway boy vividly.

There was a pause on the other side, and the man said, "I didn't order it."

"Excuse me, are you living in No. 8-5, Unit 1, Building 7, Jujiayuan Community? Are you at home? The address should be correct." Jack said.

"But I didn't order takeaway. You called the wrong number." The phone was hung up.

Jack held his phone and looked up.

At this time, he had already walked downstairs to Unit 1, Building 7.

From the other party's words, it can be seen that even if he reported the correct address, Tree did not deny that he was not at home, so he probably did not go out.

And Jack had a hunch that Tree did not want anyone to go to his house.

Anyway, let's go up and take a look.

After standing at the door for a while, someone came out of the building. Jack held the door after the person came out and entered Unit 1.

He took the elevator and quickly went up to the 8th floor. Turning left after getting out of the elevator was the direction to Rainy's house, and Room 8-5 was on the right side of the elevator.

Jack went directly to the door of Room 8-5. If it was not modified separately, the door style here was the same. There was no difference between the door of Tree's house and Rainy's house.

At this time, Jack took out his phone again and called Lily. After the call was connected, he said, "Can you give me a copy of your universal smart key in the future?"

"What?" Lily did not react for a while.

But it was also very quiet on the other end of Lily's phone, and I could hear the sound of dripping water. I wondered where she was working on the case.

"The door of Tree's house is closed now. If I want to go in, I can only use your standard master key unless I use violence." Jack said.

Lily understood and nodded: "I allow you to use violence to unlock the door, and our investigation team will bear the consequences."

He hung up the phone.

Jack was stunned when he heard the busy tone on the phone.

"Then I am here to unlock the door by order."

He smiled, put away his phone, and stretched out his index and middle fingers to the gap between the door lock and the door frame and inserted them directly.

Because of his strong finger strength, this lock was like soft tofu to him, and there was no sound at all. Then he pressed his finger, pressed the closed lock, and gently pushed the door open.

A dull smell came out of the room. The room was dark, and the thick floor-length curtains in front of the window were all drawn.

It seemed that there was no one in the room.

Jack was investigating a case, so he didn't hide anything and reached out to press the light in the room.

The light came on.

However, in order not to arouse the suspicion of the investigation team that he was too strong, he took out a white towel from his backpack and wiped the fingerprints he had just left on the door lock.

The setting of this room was different from Rainy's house. There was no corridor leading to the bedroom. Instead, there were two closed doors right next to the living room, which seemed to be the bedroom.

There was also a door at the back of the living room that was obviously the bathroom, which was also closed.

No wonder the house smelled bad, it must have been ventilated for a long time.

Jack stood at the door for a while, and the strange feeling rose again.

This house was not simple, but he couldn't tell what was wrong.

He slowly approached the living room and looked at the fabric sofa, TV cabinet, dining table and chairs behind the sofa, etc. The surfaces of these furniture were all covered with a layer of fine dust without exception.

Looking at the ground again, there were also faint footprints left by his own due to the accumulation of dust.

At this time, a more depressing breath drifted out from a room with a closed door, mixed with an inexplicable gloomy feeling of uneasiness.

Jack stretched out his hand to his nose and fanned it, then moved his eyes to the door of one of the rooms, locking the direction of the breath.

He walked over slowly, took out the black telescopic stick, held the door handle of the room with his right hand and twisted it gently. The door lock responded, and soon it clicked and was opened.

Jack's hair stood up slightly, raising his vigilance to the highest level. Even without turning on his heterochromia, he knew that something was wrong in this room, and reached out to press the light switch of this room.

When the light came on, a large bed appeared in front of him, but at this time, a man was lying on the bed, dead for a long time.
