Pollution throughout the territory

This is a small building with only five floors. The shape of the building is similar to that of a residential building, but the windows are too small. It feels like a war turret in the game.

There was no one guarding the door, probably because no outsiders could come inside the Dawn Center, so there was no need.

It was broad daylight, but the lights were on in the corridor inside, because it was really too dark, and there was no light that could shine into the corridor at all.

"Why did they make this place so closed?"

Liu Xiuxiu was puzzled.

"Maybe we just need this kind of atmosphere."

Qin Yun said casually.

Xia Ren said nothing and began to check the doors on the first floor one by one.

Sure enough, just as he sensed with his tentacles, there was no one on the first floor. Most of the rooms were abandoned. Some of them were filled with clutter, while others had nothing at all. They were completely empty rooms.

When they were about to go up to the second floor, the security guards who were wearing fake police uniforms and escorting the freshmen off happened to come down, and the two groups of people bumped into each other.

"You guys are so cool, who are you?"

asked a fat security guard in the lead.

Qin Yun said: "We are friends of the principal, come and visit."

"Then she is..."

The security guard looked at Liu Xiuxiu.

Xia Ren and Qin Yun are both adults, so it makes sense, but why would an underage child come here to visit?

"Oh, he is my cousin, he is a bit disobedient."

After Qin Yun said this, Xia Ren noticed that several security guards had expressions of understanding. It seemed that this situation was not uncommon.

Another tall and lanky security guard asked: "How much money did the principal promise to give you?"

The fat security guard's expression suddenly changed, and he immediately slapped him on the back of the head, and scolded him in a low voice: "You still owe me so much, just take your money, do you want to die by asking so many questions?"

Xia Ren winked at Qin Yun, who understood what he meant and asked, "What do you mean by giving money? Can students who are sent in still get money?"

The thin security guard already knew that he was talking too much and didn't want to talk anymore.

The fat security guard turned his head, with a smile on his face, and said to Xia Ren and the others: "Sorry, just pretend you didn't hear me. He's not sensible. Don't tell the principal. By the way, do you need me to find someone to take you to visit? "

This is changing the topic. It seems that they are quite vigilant about this matter, and even Qin Yun didn't ask about it.

"Need not."

Xia Ren waved his hand and glanced at the thin man just now, thoughtfully.

The fat security guard was not there yet, so he gave a kind reminder: "If you are leading this child, I suggest that you don't continue going up."

"Thank you."

Xia Ren nodded to him and continued walking upstairs with Qin Yun and Liu Xiuxiu.

The fat security guard's eyes twitched, but he didn't continue to dissuade him.

Since you have turned a deaf ear to my words, you will have a headache in the future. It is estimated that the child will not be willing to come here no matter what. It depends on how you make money.

But then he thought about it, how many of the students here are volunteers?

Who can prevent your most trusted family members from cheating on you together with outsiders?

After going up to the second floor, due to the poor airflow, a strange smell began to fill the air, somewhat similar to the smell of spoiled food, mixed with the stench of excrement.

Liu Xiuxiu covered her nose in disgust and said in a low voice, "Don't they even clean up?"

The corridor is empty with lights on. The doors on both sides are iron security doors, all tightly closed. The strange smell comes from the cracks in the doors. If a horror movie can be shot here, it probably won't need to add anything later. The special effects are enough to make people shudder.

Xia Ren could feel that there were people in several of the rooms, but they didn't make a sound, as if they were all asleep.

"This floor should be the confinement room."

Xia Ren could feel a very faint smell of pollution, and with the appearance of Mu Yanglan's infected body before, it seemed that the hanging rope was indeed there, and this trip was not in vain.

Continuing to go up, the air on the third floor became even duller. From one of the rooms, there was the sound of banging on the iron door, and they kept yelling and cursing. The voice sounded familiar. It should be the young man who was just sent here.

There was someone in the room next to him. He should have heard the sound, but he didn't move at all, as if he was numb.

This is not a prison, but it is a crueler place than prison.

Liu Xiuxiu was a little moved, Xia Ren shook his head at him.

They didn't come here to rescue these students, at least not now.

Xia Ren counted silently. A total of six people were imprisoned on this floor, and the pollution was still very low.

He didn't stop and continued to the upper level.

The situation on the fourth floor is similar to that on the third floor. There is only one person in custody, and the number has dropped sharply. It seems that there are not as many new students in the Dawn Center as expected. On this floor, Xia Ren felt that the pollution in two of the rooms was much heavier than the rest.

"Qi Shanshan and Mu Yanglan should be detained here."

The two doors are next to each other. Because they are too close to each other, it is impossible to tell which room is more polluted.

The door was unlocked, so Xia Ren opened one of the doors and walked in.

The smell hit his face, and Xia Ren frowned. The light from the corridor shone diagonally into the house. The floor was dirty and covered with various suspicious stains. Just as Mu Yanglan described, there was only one person inside. The bed was covered with dirty bedding. I don’t know how many people had covered it. The pillow even reflected the oily light under the light. A bowl covered with food residue was placed against the wall. It felt like it had not been washed after use. Continuing to serve rice, adding up layer by layer, it becomes what it is now; there is also half a bucket of water, blocked by a plastic bottle. This half bucket of water is probably the cleanest thing in the whole house.

Even a beggar would definitely not want to live in such a room. Liu Xiuxiu felt nauseated and Qin Yun frowned tightly.

They then came to another room. The general situation here was similar to the one next to it, except that the sheets were torn. Xia Ren felt something under his feet. He picked it up and saw that it was a simple rope made of torn strips of cloth. , tied into a circle, about half a meter long, more than enough to fit an adult's head.

"Could this thing be the tool that the girl named Mu Yanglan used to hang herself?"

Liu Xiuxiu thought of the strangulation marks on the corpse's neck.

"should be."

Xia Ren took the rope and looked at the ceiling above his head, and then at several walls. There was no place to tie him up. He couldn't help but wonder: "But where did she tie the rope?"

Suddenly, Xia Ren recalled the death cases he had read long ago for inspiration.

He turned around and looked at the iron door handle.

The handle was covered with dust, but the part connected to the door was clean.

Xia Ren used his hand to compare the height between the door handle and the ground, and looked a little moved.

In his mind, a picture gradually formed of what happened to the two girls when they died last night.

Mu Yanglan actually hanged herself while sitting down!
