S.C.I.谜案集 (Special Criminal Investigation) Book 2

Case 3. Password Killer: Chapter 13. Haunted House

Zhao Zhen, Bai Chi and the twins guarded the gate. Zhan Zhao, Bai Yutang, Gong Sun and Bai Jintang went into the building. They searched one dormitory after another with the mute man. Bai Yutang and Bai Jintang looked around carefully, while Zhan Zhao and Gong Sun paid close attention to the mute uncle's expression. They looked all over the five floors of the dormitory building, and finally, they stopped at the door of the dormitory where the fire had occurred. It was a dormitory on the third floor, room number 311. The room was covered with cobwebs and dust. Although it had been seven years, the scorched black marks on the ground, walls and bed were still obvious. No matter what the students were like, this fire had taken away five young lives.

Bai Yutang stood at the door and looked around, then went in with Gong Sun and Zhan Zhao. They looked down through the window. Yang Yang most likely waved at this window earlier, which meant that person was in this room.

"Who is it?" Just then, everyone heard a cry from Bai Jintang standing at the door. Everyone looked over and saw that Bai Jintang had chased after someone. Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang quickly caught up with them.

"Bro, what did you see?" Bai Yutang asked.

Bai Jintang stood at the top of the stairs, staring at the empty stairs below, "Hm... I just saw a man running over in a white T-shirt..."

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang looked at each other. Gong Sun pulled Bai Jintang and asked, "Are you sure?"

Bai Jintang shook his head. "How is this possible? I just caught a glimpse of someone with short hair, wearing white T-shirt and white trousers... They disappeared in a flash. "

Just then, Zhan Zhao saw the mute uncle hand over his cell phone to him. Zhan Zhao took it over and saw a line on the screen, "That's Mo Mo... He doesn't want to leave... Don't worry, he's harmless."

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang looked at each other as they both wondered, "Is he referring to Hao Mo?"

After taking a look, the mute uncle nodded and sighed silently.

"What did you do in the past?" Zhan Zhao typed again and asked the mute uncle. "Why are you so familiar with this place and Hao Mo?"

The mute uncle typed, "I used to be the janitor of this dormitory building. Mo Mo was a good boy. He was not afraid of me and never teased me. He often brought me food as well."

"What about the others?" Bai Yutang asked.

After reading the question, the mute uncle stood there for a long time before typing, "Mo Mo was too stupid. If he wanted to kill those four bastards, he should have told me. I could have done it for him. My life is worthless anyways. He shouldn't have given up his life."

After reading the text, Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang were surprised. Several people checked the dormitory building and made sure that there was no one upstairs. When they got downstairs, they saw that Zhao Zhen and Bai Chi were still there, and the twins were strolling at the top of the stairs.

"Did anyone leave?" Bai Yutang asked.

Both Bai Chi and Zhao Zhen shook their heads.

Everyone was confused.

"What do you think?" Zhan Zhao asked Bai Yutang.

Bai Yutang smiled and raised his eyebrows. "I don't believe in ghosts."

Gong Sun also nodded, "Even if there are ghosts, they wouldn't come out during broad daylight."

Zhan Zhao patted the mute uncle and signalled him to take everyone to his room. The mute uncle nodded and led everyone to the reception room where he had been living.
