Chapter 6 Water Tower Female Corpse 6

　　After confirming the place, Qin Ke brought his equipment and set off.

　　Said equipment, in fact, is yesterday to the convenience store to buy a kitchen knife and rope and a pliers can pry up most of the things.

　　From the fire escape all the way up to the rooftop, in the process of climbing the stairs for the stairs inside the accumulation of all kinds of debris and rubbish, Qin Ke has some feelings, this is if there is really a fire, this fire escape simply can not be used.

　　And hanging on the wall of the fire fighting equipment was violently broken a big hole, the things inside were thrown everywhere, certainly can not be used.

　　Back to this building, the old building has a total of thirteen floors, the bottom twelve floors have tenants, the thirteenth floor was originally planned to attract business, but due to the economic development of the surrounding area is not up, the location itself is not good, so there is no recruitment of suitable businessmen, slowly deserted.

　　Later, it was rented to a person who opened a supermarket, as a warehouse to use.

　　For this point Qin Ke feel very puzzled, why supermarket warehouse will rent in the thirteenth floor of the residential building? How to think this is not convenient ah, usually want to move some large goods and so on, how to carry?

　　However, some people say, this is because the rent here is very cheap, and why so cheap? Because at that time in the construction of this building when cutting corners, the boss to make money, so the material used is also poor, the thirteenth floor simply can not live, where the walls are going to collapse rainy days but also leakage, so the thirteenth floor will be cool.

　　It is because of the construction out of the problem, otherwise why did the boss put the thirteenth floor is not directly reinstalled when the house to rent out to be so empty?

　　There are people who say that the above is not at all rented to open a supermarket, if open a supermarket, how they will not see people did not see the goods.

　　One day mysterious, there are some wearing black clothes with masks and hats in and out of people, must be doing what illegal business.

　　Qin Ke climbed to the thirteenth floor, saw the mysterious 'supermarket warehouse' door.

　　The door was closed tightly, the surroundings were very quiet, there was no one inside.

　　Time is spreading in front of her, Qin Ke is ready to continue to climb up, this time she heard the sound of something falling.

　　Qin Ke looked back in the direction of the door, but didn't care, maybe the wind blew or something else dropped something, normal situation, she turned around and went up to the rooftop.

　　Do not know why, she always felt that this thirteenth floor of the door looks strange, through a wave of bizarre, it is better to hurry to run.

　　In fact, for this building to have thirteen floors this thing, Qin Ke is feeling a little strange, because most of the property developers should avoid the number thirteen.

　　Buy a house for Chinese people is the top priority, in the number of harmonic taboos, many people will still believe, for example, everyone is not very willing to buy four, thirteen, eighteen these floors, but more like to buy six, eight such as more auspicious sounding number of floors.

　　So even though the layout of the room is the same, the price of different floors will still be different.

　　Take the thirteenth floor as an example, many westerners are very jealous of the number thirteen, and with the development trend of globalisation, this kind of thinking also affects the Chinese people to a certain extent.

　　There are two reasons for thinking that thirteen is unlucky, the first is from ancient mythology, in the Norse myth of Havurah's banquet, when the twelve heavenly deities were present, but in the middle of the banquet, there was an unwelcome heavenly god - Loki, the god of troubles and noises, barged in.

　　And his arrival led to the death of Odin's favoured son, Bert, the god of light.

　　There is also the story of the last supper Jesus had with his disciples, when there were thirteen participants and the date of the supper was thirteen, and thirteen brought suffering and misery to Jesus.

　　The number thirteen is considered by some to be synonymous with treachery and betrayal.

　　Death and betrayal - both carry blood that people don't like to be near.

　　That's why you can rarely find a thirteen-floor building in Western architecture, and if they do, they use 12A instead of thirteen.

　　And the theatre in the twelve rows and fourteen rows will be directly between the establishment of pedestrian access.

　　Of course if someone who is not squeamish about this naturally wouldn't find anything wrong with building a thirteenth floor, but Qin Ke felt that the owner who built this building should be squeamish about it.

　　This was also a very contradictory point.

　　Because although the house is old, but in each floor of the wall is actually a more exquisite relief, relief carving is some Western mythology, although now above the dirty full of graffiti, but at that time should be very fine.

　　Qin Ke does not really understand the western mythology, she just intuition is a little strange, if she carries out some research on these reliefs will find that there is a Havurah banquet scene above.

　　Qin Ke went up to the rooftop, the air on the rooftop could be much fresher than in the building, the water stains remained on the floor from the rain that fell last night.

　　The entire rooftop area was not small, and small puddles formed on the floor in some places.

　　It was empty, with only the sound of the wind, the water tower was high, and a feeling of mistakenly entering like an alien world invaded her as she stood on the empty rooftop.

　　Quiet surroundings allowed one to focus, but sometimes too much quiet could be a little unsettling.

　　Qin Ke gripped the tool in her hand and continued on.

　　There were several water towers on the rooftop, why were there several water towers? This reason Qin Ke also inquired about, when the house was first constructed, there was actually only the largest water tower up there, but because of the lack of water for the residents' water supply, the builder later installed several new small water towers.

　　Re-installation of water towers and pipelines, the developer and find tenants to collect money again, so tell Qin Ke of that big woman has been remembered until now.

　　Qin Ke counted the water towers up there, and there were a total of five.

　　This number alone is nothing, but with the thirteenth floor put together feel a little strange.

　　Five plus thirteen, let a person can not help but think of the 13th black Friday, the most terrible day of the year.

　　However, these are some godly things, Qin Ke also simply do not believe.

　　Water tower this thing may be some city people will be relatively unfamiliar, but in the countryside is more common, and in the high-rise it is generally placed on the top floor, if not deliberately to see, may not pay attention to the house where you are all the water tower is what kind of.

　　More common on the market nowadays are cylindrical water towers, or square and rectangular water tanks.

　　Ordinary domestic water tower specifications in the 1120mm * 1450mm * 920mm or so, water storage capacity is about a tonne, and the roof of the building of these obviously not the size of the domestic water tower.

　　Qin Ke does not know much about this, but visually, these may be four five-tonne water towers, the largest one may be eight or ten tonnes.

　　These water towers are not flat but standing, Qin Ke looked up and could not see the top, she needed to find some tools to go up.

　　Under normal circumstances, every once in a while, someone would come to clean the water tower, so there should be cleaning tools up there.

　　Three minutes later, Qin Ke found a foot ladder in a corner, and a long stick, there was a rag on top of the stick, but it might have been too long for no one to use it, and the cloth fell off as soon as she picked it up, and there were traces of moss on the ladder and the stick.

　　Thinking that the stick might have to go inside the water tower, Qin Ke carefully cleaned the stick with water, and left the ladder alone.

　　There were five water towers in total, Qin Ke started from the nearest one, she climbed up the ladder and grasped the edge of the water tower, lifting the lid above by a slit and lifting it up.

　　Look down like this is actually very scary, the interior of the water tower is dark, from the light coming in from the outside can only vaguely see the water inside, a lot of water is also very dark, like a black vortex, fall into is the abyss.

　　Qin Ke put the stick down and didn't touch anything.

　　She walked down the stairs and found the second water tower.

　　There was nothing inside the second water tower either.

　　The third water tower was up.

　　Qin Ke climbed up once more, and this time she wasn't so lucky.

　　There was someone inside, a dead person floating like a female ghost.

　　Black hair drifted in the water like water plants in the deep sea, and white eyes were looking at her.

　　It was as if she was saying, come down and stay with me!

　　The putrid smell and fear that hit her made Qin Ke stiffen, and her hand unconsciously let go.

　　If under normal circumstances this would be nothing, but she was on a ladder, and the ladder was now positioned at the edge of the roof ...

　　Qin Ke's entire body fell towards the back.

　　Probably won't survive more than three episodes, Qin Ke thought to herself mockingly as she fell.

　　But sometimes miracles happen.

　　And this miracle had a name - police.

　　To be more specific - Zhao Lin Yuan.

　　Qin Ke, who had fallen off the ladder and was almost about to fall down the stairs, was caught by Zhao Lin Yuan, who was closely following her, but there was no romantic scene of hugging and spinning around a few times in an idol theatre, their figures were in a sorry state and they crashed into the rocks on the edge, and both of them were injured.

　　Among them, Zhao Lin Yuan, who was the protector, was more seriously injured.

　　The two people stood on the rooftop, Qin Ke's clothes and hair were in disarray, Zhao Lin Yuan's clothes were scratched by the rocks on the edge, and his arm was bleeding.

　　The scene fell into an awkward silence.

　　Qin Ke felt that this wasn't working, she decided to do something to break the deadlock.

　　Qin Ke: 'Eh ... Are you hungry? Or else I'll make you some instant noodles?'

　　Zhao Lin Yuan was silent for a moment and asked, 'What did you just see?'

　　Qin Ke asked back, 'Have you been following me?'

　　Faced with Qin Ke's question, Zhao Lin Yuan didn't hide it.

　　Zhao Lin Yuan: 'The kidnapping case about you is not over yet, the murderer is still at large, Ms Qin, as the only surviving victim who saw the murderer, you are now in a very dangerous situation, so we hope that you can accept the police's protection and stop running around like this.'

　　Qin Ke accepted the criticism with an open mind, 'I was wrong, I'll change next time.'

　　After saying that, Zhao Lin Yuan was already prepared for Qin Ke not cooperating, after all, she was able to sneak out of the hospital directly while the police went to the toilet, but he didn't expect her attitude of admitting her mistake to be so good.

　　This Zhao Lin Yuan was even more suspicious, what was inside that water tower? It made her attitude change so drastically all of a sudden? Was Qin Ke's running out from the hospital this time related to what was inside?

　　Zhao Lin Yuan asked once more, 'What's inside?'

　　Having just been startled, Qin Ke who had now seen the police officer was instead quite relieved.

　　Qin Ke lightly said the scary words, 'There are female ghosts inside.'

　　Zhao Lin Yuan was worthy of being a professional criminal police officer, after hearing Qin Ke's words he automatically sifted and filtered the useless information.

　　There's a female ghost inside = there's a female corpse inside.

　　The ladder had hit a rock when it fell down just now, and was now wobbling and about to go on strike, so there was no way to get up there if he alone was relying on him.

　　Zhao Lin Yuan glanced at Qin Ke and said, 'Help me hold the ladder.'

　　He touched the lid.

　　The lid that Qin Ke had lifted for a long time, he lifted it in one go.

　　What Qin Ke had just seen, Zhao Lin Yuan also saw.

　　Along with the strong visual impact came the smell of rotting in the sky.

　　Looking down from the top, the black hair that was scattered, the face that was swollen and swollen because of the soaking water as if it was a piece of twisted meat, and the eyes that were drowned and bloodshot and staring wide open.

　　All of them told of the terrible things that had happened inside.

　　Today's weather is not good, the sky is dark, the rooftop is quiet and gloomy, a gust of wind blowing through with the coldness of winter, Zhao Lin Yuan looked into the depths of the water tower, where the light does not shine.

　　Twisted female body black hair and the black water underneath connected, bizarre and terrible.

　　Who killed this woman? And why would the body be thrown in the middle of the water tower? How long had the deceased been dead? What kind of hidden agenda could there be behind this?

　　A gust of wind blew by, and the day got colder and colder.

　　This made Qin Ke, who was holding the ladder at the bottom, shiver, and she looked at the tall police officer above her and said, 'Captain Zhao up there, excuse me, the wind is picking up, and I'm so cold, or else let's go eat a bowl of instant noodles and report to the police before we come back.'

　　Zhao Lin Yuan came down from the ladder, '... I am the police.'

　　Qin Ke: 'Well ... Sorry I forgot, so let's go eat a bowl of instant noodles first, I'm hungry and it's cold!'

　　Zhao Lin Yuan looked at Qin Ke: 'Aren't you afraid?'

　　How could you be thinking about eating instant noodles at this time?

　　Qin Ke: 'I'm scared.'

　　Zhao Lin Yuan: 'I can't see that you're scared.'

　　Qin Ke: 'If I wasn't scared I wouldn't have fallen just now.'

　　'But I can't stay scared, being scared won't solve the problem.' Qin Ke said seriously, 'Since fear can't solve the problem, then don't be afraid.'

　　Qin Ke: 'So I'm going to eat a bowl of noodles to calm down.'

　　Zhao Lin Yuan looked at the girl in front of her, half of her head was wrapped in bandages, the other half of her hair was in disarray, and her face was made dirty, but her eyes were clear and determined.

　　Qin Ke said once more, 'So can we go down? I'm hungry.'

　　The weather forecast had said that there would be cold air coming this week.

　　Zhao Lin Yuan took off the police uniform he was wearing and let Qin Ke put it on, his clothes were too big for the girl, and the way she put it on inexplicably made him think of the little black police dog that Xiaoli from the next team had that was just three months old.

　　Running around and jumping around with his teeth and claws open, he made a mess of himself, but he was quite cute.
